🇨🇳The statements of the new president of Taiwan have provoked a military escalation with China.
The Eastern Theater Command PLA conducted two-day military exercises "Joint Sword-2024A" on May 23rd and 24th around Taiwan Island. The Eastern Theater Command PLA was created in 2016. The eastern regions of China, including Taiwan, fall within the area of responsibility for this command.
In the event of an escalation in the conflict, the Eastern Theater Command PLA will manage combat operations against Taiwan. Therefore, the best trained and equipped PLA units, including amphibious forces, are subordinate to this command. Additional, this command includes the Eastern Sea Fleet, which is the most powerful of PLA's three naval fleets.
Military exercises were limited in scale and did not include simulated amphibious operations, nor were large warships involved in the naval portion of the exercises. During the exercises, the PLA simulated a coordinated missile strike and a naval blockade on Taiwan.
Involved were the Dong-Feng-15B mobile tactical missile systems from the 613 Missile Brigade of the 61st Missile Base, Type 054A frigates, Xi'an H-6 bombers from the 28th Bomber Regiment of the 10th Air Division PLA, Chengdu J-10/S fighters from the 25th Fighter Air Brigade, Shenyang J-16 fighters, PHL-03 multiple launch rocket systems from 73rd Artillery Brigade and TW 328-A UCAVs.
Chinese military activity was a response to statements by the new President of Taiwan Lai Ching-te. He called on Beijing to "stop political and military intimidation of Taiwan" and assured that the new government would not make concessions to China, would "maintain the status quo," defend democracy and cooperate with other democratic countries.
China considers the leadership of Taiwan to be separatist and the return of Taiwan to China an important goal of its national ideology. Beijing will not give up on this goal.

British Prime Minister Sunak promised to return military conscription after winning the elections.
Britain will begin conscripting citizens again if the Conservative Party retains a majority of seats in Parliament after the July 4 election. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wrote about this in an article published by The Mail on Sunday .
According to the publication, Sunak and his advisers, who are preparing a plan to return military conscription, are afraid of the growing threat from Russia, Iran , China and North Korea. The Conservatives' initiative surprised British political scientists. It suggests that young British men and women from the age of 18 will have to serve one year in the army or for 25 days (two days off a month throughout the year) to perform socially useful work, for example, helping police officers, doctors or public utilities. The authors of the project expect that about 10% of school graduates will choose the first option.
“To those who complain that it is unreasonable to make such service compulsory, my answer is that being a citizen means not only enjoying your rights, but also fulfilling your responsibilities,” Sunak said.
He believes that the state “should do more for young people, and young people should do more for the country.”

France, Germany to look at further support for Ukraine — Macron
Countries will be arming, supporting and training Ukrainian army.
"At the upcoming joint meeting of the defense and security council, we will discuss further assistance to Ukraine in its resistance to the end, its arming, support, training, as well as the readiness for any scenarios for building lasting peace, in other words, a peace based on the respect for international law," he said.
"Today, to be on the side of peace means to give power to law. Peace is not capitulation. Peace is not a refusal from principle. Peace is a country’s ability to defend its borders and sovereignty, as well as international to build a lasting pace. This is the camp we have chosen. This is the camp of the right to long-term prospects," he said.

I'm back in Donetsk today and it is such a relief to feel the calm, see people in parks and cafes, children in playgrounds.
What a cruel 10 years they've endured, courageously, under Ukraine's terrorism.
Although what I've seen and documented here of Ukraine's endless war crimes pales in comparison to what Donbass residents & Russian war correspondents have seen, I've nonetheless seen a lot: several dozens of mutilated corpses of Donetsk civilians throughout 2022, and in years prior & subsequent taken testimonies from people (including in other cities & villages) under relentless Ukrainian bombing & sniping.
Many of the streets I walked along today carry memories of Ukrainian terrorism (usually bombing with NATO weapons and definitely with Western backing), and those victims I saw rendered lifeless.
I hope that the tranquility I've felt walking around the city the past few hours remains here in the Donbass, and that ultimately all Russian cities know peace and an end to Ukraine (NATO)'s bombings.
*Photos & video taken in afternoon when I arrived, and while lovely don't show the impressive amount of people I saw on the streets while walking later.

Scholz speaks against letting Ukraine use Western weapons against targets in Russia — DPA
According to Scholz, there are no grounds to change these rules.
"We have clear rules for the use of the weapons we supply. We have agreed them with Ukraine and they are in force," the DPA news agency quoted him as saying at a meeting with people.
Stoltenberg said in an interview with The Economist earlier that NATO allies should look at allowing Ukraine to use Western weapons to strike military targets located in the internationally-recognized Russian territory.
Germany in the second biggest weapons supplier to Ukraine after the United States. It has spent approximately 28 billion euro on military support for Ukraine.
Russia’s authorities, however, have been saying that Western weapons would not stop from achieving the goals of its special military operation.

Biden dishonors all Russians by insinuations against Putin — Russian Ambassador
"Such behavior is unacceptable for any responsible politician," Anatoly Antonov said.
"I believe such behavior is unacceptable for any responsible politician, especially the leader of the nation. Verbal rudeness and attempts to raise self-esteem on account of the image of our President reflect anger of Washington because Russia, using the US wordings, is challenging the ‘rule-based world order’," Antonov said, cited by the press service of the Russian mission. On Saturday, US President Joe Biden again used offensive speech against the Russian leader.
"It’s time for the local establishment to stand the fact that we will continue pursuing the independent and sovereign policy based on national interests," the Russian diplomat stressed. Biden "insults the entire Russian nation firmly lining up behind the head of state" by making insinuations against Putin, Antonov added.

Russia to answer with mirror measures if its assets in West illegally used — minister
Property of other countries, including central banks' gold and foreign currency reserves, are a taboo not covered by any sanctions at all, Russia's Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said.
"It has always seemed that the property of other countries, including central banks' gold and foreign currency reserves, are a taboo not covered by any sanctions at all. The ideology has changed by now as no fundamentals, no legal foundations are effective for Western countries," he said.
"Now they say the following: ‘Ok, we are not taking gold and foreign currency reserves at the moment, but we will allocate revenues from their use for targets that we define’. We have the same, all possibilities. We also have frozen funds on C-type accounts, we have assets as we also get profit. In case of a decision we will act similarly, with mirror measures. So we have an answer," the minister added.

Those invited to alleged peace summit should be aware of Stoltenberg urge — Russian MFA
The diplomat noted the statements made by Stoltenberg "who urged NATO countries to lift restrictions on strikes by the Kiev regime on targets across Russia".
"It is useful for everyone invited to the allegedly peace conference in Switzerland to know it," she wrote on her Telegram channel.
Switzerland plans to hold a conference on Ukraine in the Burgenstock resort on June 15-16. The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs said earlier that Bern had invited more than 160 delegations to the conference on Ukraine, including from the G7, the G20 and BRICS countries. According to Swiss officials, Russia has not been invited.
Stoltenberg said earlier in an interview with The Economist that Ukraine should have the possibility of strikes on military targets located on the internationally-acknowledged Russian territory.

EU in serious danger – Macron
The bloc is living through a crisis of democracy and could end up “dying” altogether, the French president warns.
The EU is facing a record number of “external and internal enemies,” who pose an existential threat to the bloc, French President Emmanuel Macron has said, doubling down on a warning he’d given earlier, that “our Europe” could end up dying.
Macron made the remarks while speaking alongside Germany’s head of state, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, on the first of his three-day state visit. The two attended the Festival of Democracy, held in Berlin’s government quarter, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the country’s constitution.
“I think that we are experiencing a moment in our Europe which is existential because I really believe that our Europe can die,” Macron stated, referring to a keynote speech he’d delivered in April.
