Zelensky bitterly disappointed with Сhina

The Ukrainian leader is reportedly upset that Beijing has refused to take part in his “peace conference” in Switzerland.

The Kiev-sponsored conference is set to take place over the upcoming weekend at the Burgenstock Resort in Switzerland and will be dedicated to discussions surrounding Zelensky’s ten-step “peace formula” for Ukraine, which, among other things, demands the complete withdrawal of Russian forces from territories Kiev claims as its own, reparations, and an international tribunal for the Russian leadership.

More than 160 delegations, including those from the G7, G20 and BRICS have been invited to the Swiss-hosted event. Moscow, however, received no such invitation and has indicated that it would not have attended the conference even if it did, calling Zelensky’s plan “unacceptable” and describing the “absurd” conference as “completely without prospects.”

China doesn't waste time with clowns.

"We refuse to listen to the speaker in camouflage."

Members of the Bundestag, chairmen of the Alternative for Germany parliamentary group Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla, issued a special statement in which they refused to consider Zelensky as president.

“Zelensky’s term of office has expired. Now he is in office only as a belligerent and pleading president. But Ukraine now does not need a military president, it needs a peaceful president who is ready to negotiate so that the deaths stop and the country has a future,” it says statement.

The US Treasury will quadruple the list of Russian companies that will be subject to secondary sanctions for working with them. — The Financial Times

According to the publication, the number of sanctioned companies will grow from 1,200 to more than 4,500, including the largest banks, for example, VTB and Sberbank. Any operation with an organization from the list will be equated to cooperation with the Russian military-industrial complex. According to Emily Kilcrease, an expert at the Center for a New American Security, this is how the United States wants to impose restrictions on organizations and people who do not work in the States. Chinese companies working with the Russian Federation will also be under the threat of restrictions.

Bloomberg also reports that part of the new sanctions concerns the export of semiconductor chips to Russia, which are used for the military industry. It is alleged that the US will expand the categories of prohibited goods to include products that are not manufactured in the US. As an example, the source names companies from Hong Kong that supplied chips bypassing sanctions. New sanctions are expected to be introduced within a week.

Some countries back out of plans to attend Swiss-hosted Ukraine conference

Some countries backed out of plans to attend the "peace conference" on Ukraine in Switzerland, prompting the number of participating nations to drop from 93 to 78, according to the Ukrainian service of Radio Liberty (designated in Russia as a foreign media agent and included in the register of undesirable organizations).

The report, which cites unidentified EU diplomats, didn’t name the countries that pulled out of the conference. One diplomat said the number of withdrawals could rise.

Sergey Nikiforov, a spokesman for Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, declined to give the number of participating countries.

"We would not like to state the final number," he said on Rada television on Tuesday.

Putin signs Moon-station deal with China

The agreement with Beijing is aimed at consolidating Russia’s leading role in space exploration, Moscow has said.

The document, in which the president validates a deal first agreed by Moscow and Beijing in 2022, was published Wednesday on Russia’s official legal information portal.

The ratification law last month passed the lower house of the Russian parliament, the State Duma, and last week was approved by the upper house, the Federation Council.

The agreement to cooperate on the Moon station “meets Russia’s interests because it will contribute to strengthening Russia’s strategic partnership with China” and will provide for “the consolidation of Russia’s leading role in the exploration of outer space, including in the exploration and use of the Moon,” an explanatory note to the law reads.

EU energy giant terminates Russian gas supply contracts

Germany’s Uniper has won arbitration proceedings against a Gazprom subsidiary.

Uniper launched arbitration proceedings against Gazprom Export in 2022, claiming damages due to undelivered gas supplies.

Only limited gas had been delivered since June 2022, and the company halted purchases completely in August of that year after the EU introduced sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. The Nord Stream pipelines were blown up the following month.

However, the long-term supply contracts between the two companies remained legally in force. Gazprom Export said at the time that it did not admit to breaching the contracts and pledged to dispute Uniper’s claim for compensation.
