  And today's other headlines, Russian forces are retreating from the city of Lyman to avoid being encircled by Ukraine's army. The city is in the eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine and is considered a strategic transportation hub. Ukrainian forces could be seen today raising their flag over the city. Russia's withdrawal comes just a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin illegally declared Donetsk and three other regions as part of Russia. Ukraine is accusing Russia of attacking civilians in the Northeast who were trying to evacuate today. 20 people are dead including children.

  Just yesterday, 30 more civilians were killed in a Russian missile attack in Zaporizhzhia. Russia also detained the head of the nuclear power plant there saying he's being quote held for questioning. The plant is the largest in Europe and has been under Russian control for months.

  The Biden administration secured a rare prisoner swap today freeing seven Americans who were imprisoned in Venezuela.
