Last update: 7 hours agoPutin’s Beijing rush meets battlefield reality: Russia says Ukraine broke a Putin-ordered Victory Day truce nearly 9,000 times, with 7,151 drone strikes and 1,173 artillery/rocket/mortar/tank attacks reported during the pause—an accusation that lands as Putin heads to China for talks with Xi. Ukraine hits back inside Russia: EU officials and Ukrainian reporting keep pointing to intensified Ukrainian strikes deep into Russian territory, while Russia continues large-scale barrages. China-Russia diplomacy, but with friction: Ahead of the visit, both sides are projecting “serious expectations” and “stability,” even as Ukraine claims a Russian drone hit a Chinese-linked cargo ship near Odesa just before the summit. EU peace-talks debate: Angela Merkel says she won’t serve as an EU mediator, arguing diplomacy needs real political power. US politics spillover: The Trump administration also announced a $1.7B “Anti-Weaponization Fund”—a move Democrats call a “slush fund,” adding noise to an already tense global week.
