🇨🇳🤝🇷🇺 China boosts support for Russia after Trump’s trade threats

Beijing and Moscow are drawing closer amid ultimatums, The Telegraph reports.

After President Trump warned of possible 100% tariffs on Russia’s trade partners unless Moscow makes concessions, China signaled it would not abandon its support for the Kremlin.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping, during a meeting with Lavrov, said that trust between the two countries has “deepened” and that they are “building a new type of international relations” in which they must “strengthen mutual support.”

The Kremlin did not ignore Trump’s statement. Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said that if the West does not respond to Russia’s “readiness to negotiate,” Moscow will continue pursuing its goals through the “special military operation.”

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov went even further, claiming sanctions mean nothing to Russia.

“There are already an unprecedented number of sanctions against us — we’re managing. I have no doubt we’ll continue to cope. Knowing our partners, I don’t see how they could abandon their independent policy. They have commitments,” Lavrov said.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇩🇪🇷🇺Trump said Patriot missiles are already being shipped to Ukraine from Germany.

"They come from Germany, and then they are replaced by Germany, and in all cases the U.S. gets paid in full."

🇺🇦🇷🇺🇺🇸It will be problematic for Ukraine to use "Tomahawks", even if they are transferred by the United States, said Deputy Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine Skibitsky.

"They are not easy to use. The main launchers are warships or strategic bombers. We do not have strategic bombers," said Skibitsky (it should be noted that for the United States itself, the main platform for launching these missiles is ships).

Skibitsky also said that negotiations are currently underway with Washington to lift restrictions on the use of ATACMS.

Earlier, the Washington Post claimed that Trump had already given such consent. However, he himself did not confirm this.

"It is very important for us to get US approval for the use of long-range missiles. We want to destroy and disorganize, in accordance with NATO procedures," said Skibitsky.

Earlier, the media reported that Trump was considering sending "Tomahawks" to Ukraine, but so far has abandoned this idea.

US President himself denied plans to send long-range weapons to Ukraine. He also stated that he is against Ukraine striking Moscow.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺Among the dismissed 1350 State Department employees were specialists in Ukraine and Russia, according to The New York Times.

They worked for the Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), which does not use spies or conduct its own surveillance, but provides analysis for American diplomacy. Not all specialists on Ukraine and Russia were fired.

The State Department did not provide specific justifications for the reorganization of its intelligence unit. Secretary of State Rubio described the cuts as an optimization aimed at reducing bloat, inertia, and "radical ideology."

At a House hearing on Tuesday, Democrats were outraged by the layoffs. Gregory Meeks said that Rubio is "destroying the very institutions that we rely on to fight" global threats such as China and Russia.

"Why did you fire the entire team investigating war crimes committed by Russia in Ukraine?" asked William Keating.

Earlier, WP already reported that the Trump administration is winding down efforts to investigate Russian war crimes in Ukraine.
