The settlement of Radkivka in Ukraine's Kharkiv region was captured in an operation, according to the Russian Defence Ministry.

Russian troops have captured the settlement of Radkivka in Ukraine's Kharkiv region according to the country's defence ministry.

Russian news agencies, citing the defence ministry, also reported carrying out coordinated strikes using precision guided weapons and drones on Ukraine’s military infrastructure.

Ukraine has yet to comment on Russia's claims, and AnewZ was unable to independently verify the claims due to the ongoing armed conflict.

It comes as a major prisoner swap between the two countries are underway. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian news agency, TASS that Moscow had received a counter list of prisoners from Kyiv for a "1,000-for-1,000" swap.

U.S. President Donald Trump who has been a key vocal player in the peace process between Ukraine and Russia, commented on the swap.

"A major prisoners swap was just completed between Russia and Ukraine," Mr. Trump said on his Truth Social platform. Adding that it would "go into effect shortly," althought it was not clear what he meant.
