Putin’s Beijing reset: Less than a week after Trump’s China stop, Vladimir Putin landed in Beijing for talks with Xi, selling the relationship as “unshakeable” while pushing energy deals like Power of Siberia 2 and a broader strategic declaration. Ukraine pressure at the UN: Ukraine’s UN envoy urged nuclear powers not to ignore Russia-Belarus drills and demanded a new sanctions regime aimed at Russia’s nuclear arsenal. Nuclear escalation in the region: Belarus began joint exercises with Russia practicing tactical nuclear delivery, drawing fresh alarm from Kyiv and NATO-border states. War spills into daily life: Russia hit Ukraine’s Danube port infrastructure (Izmail) while drones targeted Moscow; Zelensky said Ukraine’s long-range “sanctions” are shifting battlefield dynamics. China-Russia war support exposed: Reuters reports China secretly trained about 200 Russian troops in drone-focused sessions that later returned to fight. Diplomatic friction: Trump denied Xi told him Putin might regret invading Ukraine, while JD Vance attacked European media over claims the US is “rewarding Putin.” Sanctions politics: EU leaders are weighing extending Russia sanctions renewals from six months to one year after Hungary’s Orbán era ended.
