🇷🇺❌🇺🇦🕊❓Russia sets condition for ceasefire in Ukraine

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia would agree to a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine only if the United States and European countries halt all arms deliveries to Kyiv.

This declaration comes amid renewed diplomatic efforts and intensified fighting in eastern Ukraine. Moscow insists that Western military support is prolonging the conflict and undermining any chance for peace.

No response yet from Washington or European leaders.

📰🔎😬🇨🇳🤝🇺🇸 — 📰 Reuters | Inside China's decision to come to the table on Trump tariffs:

"BEIJING, May 9 (Reuters) - Since U.S. President Donald Trump imposed steep tariffs on China last month, Beijing has responded in kind. On state and social media, it posted images of Mao Zedong, lambasted "imperialists," and sent a message: capitulation to bullies is dangerous, and it wouldn't back down.

But behind closed doors, Chinese officials have grown increasingly alarmed about tariffs' impact on the economy and the risk of isolation as China's trading partners have started negotiating deals with Washington, according to three officials familiar with Beijing's thinking.

These factors, along with outreach by the U.S. and an easing of Trump's rhetoric, persuaded Beijing to send its economic tsar He Lifeng for meetings with U.S. counterparts in Switzerland this weekend, the officials told Reuters.

Re-engagement was complicated by the fractious nature of U.S.-China diplomacy. In particular, Beijing considered a letter the U.S. side sent to Chinese ministries in late April about fentanyl "arrogant," two officials said. Efforts to arrange talks were further impaired by disagreements over which officials should be involved, said one of these people and another official.

China's reasons for deciding to negotiate, Washington's letter on fentanyl, U.S. diplomatic challenges in Beijing, and the early outreach between the two sides are reported by Reuters for the first time, based on interviews with nearly a dozen government officials and experts on both sides."

"Germans to start hiding data on arms supplies to Ukraine

✍️ After three years of openness on the issue of military aid to Kyiv, Germany will again begin to hide information about arms supplies to Ukraine, the German agency DPA reported, citing sources in the German cabinet.

The Germans did indeed always publish all deliveries on the website, which made it possible to understand what kind of military aid they were sending and to guess why.

It's actually surprising that they didn't hide it for so long. After all, this information is intelligence that could be used to analyze current trends in the supply of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

✍️ Now all this will be hidden, and considering that the Germans have already transferred almost their entire range, except for cruise missiles and fighters. So it is quite possible that the Tauruses will eventually be there."
