Zelensky met Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya in Kyiv during a summit with representatives from 24 countries. The meeting comes as Ukraine intensifies its Belarus track, hosts Tsikhanouskaya on her first official visit, and warns Minsk’s leadership that any aggressive action against Ukraine will bring consequences.

Zelenskyy met with Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya in Kyiv. The President stated that Russia is trying to drag Belarus even deeper into the war against Ukraine, but Kyiv supports the Belarusian people's aspirations to break free from Moscow's influence. According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine has never posed a threat to Belarus and deeply values the support of Belarusians who stand with Ukraine today.

President Zelenskyy met with Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.

The day before, she arrived in Kyiv for the first time since the 2020 Belarusian presidential election, met with Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, visited Pripyat, and paid tribute to Belarusian volunteers who died for Ukraine.

President Zelenskyy said that Ukrainians know there will come a day when Ukraine and Belarus will once again have good-neighborly relations based on the real independence of both states from Moscow.

🇨🇳🇭🇰 China Tightens Cross-Border Stock Trading

China’s securities regulator has imposed heavy penalties on cross-border brokers Futu, Longbridge, and Tiger Brokers for conducting securities business in mainland China without approval. Futu said it faces a proposed fine of RMB1.85 billion, while Tiger’s parent disclosed RMB411 million in combined fines and confiscations; the crackdown also hit market sentiment, with the Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index down 2.2% and Futu losing more than a quarter of its market value.

The move marks an escalation of a regulatory tightening that began in late 2022, when Beijing ordered internet brokers to halt illegal business and stop onboarding new mainland clients. The campaign is tied to broader concern over capital outflows after roughly $1 trillion in “hot money” left China last year, and it could affect up to HK$250 billion in Hong Kong assets, weakening liquidity in the city’s equity and IPO markets.

Some investors are shifting overseas stock trading to banks such as Bank of China’s Hong Kong unit and HSBC, while others are liquidating positions or seeking alternative offshore channels. Chinese brokerages’ Hong Kong subsidiaries are also waiting for clearer guidance on whether older accounts will be affected.

Воздушные шары-носители дронов были сбиты над Севастополем, пишет @tactical_13

"Над Севастополем сбиты воздушные шары, несущие скоростные электрические беспилотники, типа тех крыльев, что сейчас кошмарят трассу в новых территориях.

Шары идут на 5-7 тысячах высоты до момент входа в нужную им зону, после чего сбрасывают БПЛА камикадзе. В этот раз беспилотники сбиты уже над городом.

Это не первый случай конкретно в Крыму и сегодня их больше".

Ранее появилось видео испытаний вывода дрона-камикадзе Hornet в район запуска при помощи аэростата, что позволяет запускать их на гораздо большее расстояние, чем обычно.

Видимо, теперь противник пытается осуществлять налеты своих дронов средней дальности не только по дорогам на подступах к Крыму, но и на самом полуострове.

🇺🇦🥔 Zelensky: For the first time in this format of ours – representatives of Belarus. And recently, Lukashenko said that it is time for the presidents of Ukraine and Belarus to meet. It turned out interestingly: Lukashenko said it, and Svitlana Tikhanovskaya came.
