Major Russian banks have called on the central bank to take action to counter a yuan liquidity deficit, which has led to the rouble tumbling to its lowest level since April against the Chinese currency and driven yuan swap rates into triple digits.

#Germany will not slacken in its military support for #Ukraine, Chancellor Olaf #Scholz said on Wednesday, trying to dispel fears #Berlin might disappoint #Kyiv amid a domestic budget squeeze and media reports of a freeze on new German military aid.

Trump reiterated his claim that if he was elected president, he would "guarantee" to make a deal to end the war in #Ukraine; and that if he had been president the war would not have happened in the first place.

The #US is close to an agreement to give #Ukraine long-range cruise missiles that could reach deep into #Russia, but #Kyiv would need to wait several months as the U.S. works through technical issues ahead of any shipment, U.S. officials said.

The inclusion of Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles (#JASSM) in a weapons package is expected to be announced this autumn, three sources said.
