🇺🇸 Zelensky confirmed in his evening address that he spoke with President Trump about urgently needed U.S. support, frontline updates, and diplomacy — including a real, lasting 30-day ceasefire.

Ukraine is ready now to stop — if Russia does too. “America can help with this,” Zelensky said.

🇷🇺🤝🇨🇳 Russia and China have outlined plans to deepen cooperation, with Putin confident in the growing ties between the two nations. Yet, as China aligns itself with Russia on the global stage, it's clear: 'neutral' doesn't mean non-aligned. China is increasingly complicit in Russia's war against Ukraine.

Lieutenant of the AFU, call sign "Alex," reports: No ceasefire on the Pokrovsk front. Infantry assaults continue relentlessly, with no breaks in between. The fight is ongoing.

“This is clearly a deliberate attempt to ruin my visit,” he ranted, complaining the delay wrecks his schedule.

His team is now scrambling to find another route.

🇷🇸✈️ Vučić has landed in Moscow, defying EU warnings that the visit could derail Serbia’s path to membership. “Even if the sky falls on my head, I will go,” he said earlier. With EU talks stalled and ties to Russia deep, Vučić is choosing symbolism over Brussels.

President Xi Jinping stated that China and Russia will defend the international system based on international order and law, and will oppose hegemony and “power politics.”

Xi and Putin are reviving stalled talks on the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline.

🚨 Big news from the Black Sea. Yesterday evening, a Ukrainian naval drone shot down a Russian Su-30 fighter jet 50 km west of Novorossiysk using an R-73 air-to-air missile.

This is the first known instance of a drone using an AAM to down a fighter jet. Historic and humiliating for Russia.
