🇨🇳🇺🇸 J.D. Vance: In the coming weeks, we'll find out whether China wants to start a trade war against the US or whether they're willing to be reasonable.

If they respond very aggressively, I guarantee you, Trump has a lot more cards than China. I hope they choose the path of reason.

🥴 Peskov: The issue of Tomahawks is a matter of extreme concern for us; Putin has already spoken about this.

This is a special weapon; it can have a non-nuclear or a nuclear configuration.

Recall the reports from our special services that the Ukrainians could create a so-called 'dirty bomb.'

Russia has no interest in restoring safety – they need to be pressured to do so, and more honest position from IAEA is needed. Russia can and must stop shelling so that the repair crews can work. The plant has been running on diesel generators for almost three weeks.

We discussed the situation at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. We can, as has already been done dozens of times, repair the power supply lines of the plant and guarantee the safety of the plant – and it is Ukrainian control, it is our Ukrainian specialists who are a 100% guarantee of safety.

🇩🇰🇺🇦 Denmark may transfer additional infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine.

Copenhagen has abandoned the modernization of its existing CV9035DK IFVs and has decided to purchase new CV9035IIIC combat vehicles.

Sanctions, tariffs, joint action against the buyers of Russian oil who are financing this war – all must remain on the table. And this is what can open the way to lasting peace for Europe. The world can guarantee this in parallel with the peace process in the Middle East.

💔🇺🇦 Zelensky: A child was killed in a church in Kostyantynivka by an air bomb. In total, over 3,100 drones, 92 missiles, and about 1,360 KABs were used this week alone.

Moscow is allowing itself to escalate the strikes and is taking advantage of the fact that the world is focused on Middle East.
