Day 1704 of the war: Ukraine returns 270 prisoners, Russia strikes with drones
On day 1704 of the war, Ukraine returned 270 prisoners of war and agreed on evacuations from Oleshky, while Russia continued drone attacks, including a "Geran" drone that crashed in Moldova near residential areas and an energy facility. President Trump suggested imposing 200% tariffs on Ukraine and Russia without a peace deal, though he admitted the measure may be ineffective due to low US trade with both countries. Ukrainian monitors reported jet drones in the air overnight with possible attacks on western regions. Ballistic threats remained at medium levels, with the enemy active in Bryansk and Kursk regions. The situation on the front lines remains tense as the full-scale war enters its 1704th day.
