🇺🇸🇭🇰 Trump to Raise Jimmy Lai at Xi Summit

President Trump confirmed he will raise Jimmy Lai's case directly with Xi Jinping at their summit this week, repeating a commitment first made during the 2024 campaign. Lai, founder of the now-shuttered Apple Daily, was sentenced to 20 years in February under Hong Kong's National Security Law on charges of conspiring to lobby foreign powers for sanctions against China. Trump noted he previously raised the case with Xi on the sidelines of an October meeting in South Korea.

The broader summit agenda covers trade, Taiwan, AI competition, and the Iran conflict — which had already delayed the meeting once. Lai's case sits at the intersection of press freedom, Beijing's post-2020 crackdown on Hong Kong, and US leverage in bilateral negotiations. Chinese and Hong Kong officials maintain the trial was conducted fairly.

Lai's family has directly tied his prospects for release to the outcome of Trump's China visit.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Introducing AI to war together with Palantir — one of the largest defense tech companies in the world

The results of this cooperation:
🔹 created a system for detailed analysis of air attacks;
🔹 implemented AI solutions for working with large volumes of intelligence data;
🔹 integrated technologies into the planning of deep strike operations.

A separate direction is Brave1 Dataroom, created jointly with Palantir. This is a platform where developers get access to real data from the battlefield to train AI models. More than 100 companies are already training 80+ models to detect and intercept air targets in difficult conditions.

Palantir is one of the world's leading companies in the field of data analysis and AI solutions for defense and security. It is among the top 10 US technology companies with a capitalization of $330 billion.

Introducing AI into warfare together with Palantir, one of the world’s largest defense tech companies, Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced.

He met with Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp.

“It is symbolic that Alex was among the first CEOs of major Western tech companies to visit Kyiv after the start of the full-scale invasion — in June 2022 — and support Ukraine. Since then, our cooperation has been active.

The results of this partnership:

▫️ a system for detailed analysis of air attacks has been created;
▫️ AI solutions for processing large volumes of intelligence data have been implemented;
▫️ technologies have been integrated into the planning of deep strike operations.

A separate area is the Brave1 Dataroom, developed jointly with Palantir. This platform gives developers access to real battlefield data to train AI models. More than 100 companies are already working on over 80 models to detect and intercept air targets in complex conditions.

During the meeting, the Palantir team was shown how Ukraine protects its airspace, holds back the enemy on the front line, and strikes at the Russian economy.

Today, technology, AI, data analysis, and the mathematics of war directly influence outcomes on the battlefield.

Our goal is to strengthen our partnership with Palantir in AI solutions and defense tech projects that provide Ukraine with a technological advantage.

Palantir is one of the world’s leading companies in data analytics and AI solutions for defense and security. It is among the top 10 US technology companies, with a capitalization of $330 billion. Its technologies are used by the armed forces, governments, and intelligence services of NATO countries and the United States for intelligence work, operational planning, and battlefield management.

It is important that Ukraine has access to the world’s best technologies. Thank you to our partners for their cooperation and support,” the defense minister said.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Ukraine has almost completely used up its PAC-3 interceptor missiles for Patriot systems, — WP

The war in the Middle East has effectively stopped supplies of American missiles to Ukraine for Patriot air defense systems, and Kyiv has only a meager number of PAC-3s left, distributed throughout the country, American officials told the publication.

Earlier this year, the Donald Trump administration pressured European countries to transfer their own stocks of Patriot missiles to Ukraine, but some of them refused due to fears that this would undermine their defenses.

🇪🇺 Kallas: When this war ends, it's clear that the region is not the same.

The Gulf countries have said to us that they clearly see Europe's role there — because it's our neighborhood.

Just look at the kind of help Ukraine has given to the Gulf countries. In the long term, there is definitely a road for us.

Mykhailo Fedorov met Palantir CEO Alex Karp in Kyiv to expand AI and defence tech cooperation. Ukraine says work with Palantir has created a detailed air attack analysis system, deployed AI tools for large intelligence datasets and integrated technology into deep strike planning. Brave1 Dataroom now gives developers real battlefield data to train AI models.
