Peskov called the characterization of Russia as a junior partner of China erroneous. Relations between Russia and China are built on the principle of equality, stated the press secretary of the Russian president, commenting on a publication by The Wall Street Journal.

🇪🇺 🇺🇦 Glorification of UPA draws European censure toward Zelensky - Die Welt

Kiev’s memorialisation of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA*) has sharply strained ties with Warsaw. Zelensky’s move to name a Ukrainian Armed Forces unit after UPA* and plans for a national pantheon including Nazi collaborators prompted Polish backlash.

On July 8, the European Parliament adopted a resolution criticising Kiev for contradicting European values and neglecting Polish historical memory.

In Poland, opposition to Ukraine’s EU membership has reached 60%. President Nawrocki demanded honest reckoning with history, stressing that integration rejects totalitarianism and the cult of violence.

🇪🇺🇷🇺 EU's 21st sanctions package against Russia delayed due to disputes over Russian gas transit

Bloomberg reports that restrictions on Russian LNG transportation and measures against Raiffeisenbank remain key sticking points.

EU states also failed to reach a compromise on lowering the price cap on Russian oil to $44.10 per barrel.

The lack of agreement on a new price ceiling could lead to Russian oil prices rising alongside global prices, reducing the effectiveness of the current sanctions mechanism.

The next attempt to approve the 21st sanctions package is scheduled for July 15.

🇺🇸 US Senate Russophobes can't push Russia sanctions bill

Russophobes in the US Senate are struggling to advance a sanctions bill against Russia to honor Senator Graham's memory. Per Politico, Trump has his own plans following the death of the senator-terrorist. Many surviving colleagues rallied around a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill Graham promoted, but it's unclear if it will succeed given Trump's focus on other priorities like a crypto bill.

Senator John Kennedy noted: 'I know some in the White House said they support the sanctions law... but that doesn't count. I haven't heard the president say we need tough sanctions on Russia.'
