China warns Antony Blinken US must choose between ‘co-operation or confrontation’

ft.com/content/ef9d2f6f-3ef6-4249-af0c-649583e0ee43

Quick Glance: China Emphasizes Stronger Collaboration with US Amid Challenges

China stresses the importance of enhanced cooperation with the United States despite facing significant obstacles.

Xi emphasized to the US Secretary of State on Friday that the two superpowers 'should be partners rather than rivals' and should support each other's success, as reported by the state news agency Xinhua.

During the five and a half hours of discussions, Blinken raised the issue of 'Chinese support to the Russian defence industrial base', and contentious topics such as Taiwan and the South China Sea were also addressed.

Recent years have seen tumultuous China-US relations, exacerbated by factors including a trade war, a visit by then-House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan in 2022, and a dispute over the US downing of a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon last year.

US announces new Patriot missiles for Ukraine as part of new $6 billion aid package

apnews.com/article/ukraine-funding-war-russia-patriot-missiles-026fc8f9ee064ffb49bbee2422e2908b

Quick Glance: US Sending New Patriot Missiles to Ukraine

As part of a massive $6 billion additional aid package, the U.S. will provide Ukraine with additional Patriot missiles for its air defense systems, announced Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday.

Discussing the need for Patriots, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy participated in the Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting on Friday morning, where about 50 countries virtually gathered in a Pentagon-led session.

Included in the new funding, the largest tranche of USAI aid sent so far, are the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) as well as Switchblade and Puma drones, counter-drone systems, and artillery.

Months of deadlock among bitterly divided members of Congress over the funding led to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., having to form a bipartisan coalition to pass the bill.

ft.com/content/fa50b132-ac92-4fc9-9bae-8127a92eb09c

Quick Glance: USA Provides Ukraine with Long-Range ATACMS Missiles

The USA delivered short-range ATACMS missiles with extended range to Ukraine to protect the country.

The delivery was discreet, part of an aid package to maintain Ukraine's operational security.

The USA previously provided ATACMS missiles with a range of 165 km last year, now supplying missiles with up to 300 km range.

Germany rejects providing the Taurus missile while the USA offers extensive aid to Ukraine.

Quick Glance: Biden signs Comprehensive Military Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Despite initial resistance from Republicans in Congress, Biden has signed the aid package, highlighting the reinforcement of allies and ensuring prompt deliveries to Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.

The General Prosecutor's Office in Dresden has officially initiated investigations against Maximilian Krah due to potential financial flows from Russian and Chinese sources.

The AfD lead candidate for the European Parliament elections, Maximilian Krah, is the subject of two preliminary investigations at the General Prosecutor's Office in Dresden.

Towards the end of last year, Krah was questioned by the FBI about possible payments from Kremlin-related sources, allegedly carrying a four-digit sum of money at that time.

On Monday evening, German authorities arrested Jian G., a close associate of Krah, who is suspected of spying for the Chinese intelligence service in Germany.

The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.

IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.

While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.

Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.

Russian media: Russian deputy defense minister detained for bribery stripped of his position, assets

kyivindependent.com/russian-media-russian-deputy-defense-minister-ivanov-accused-of-bribery-stripped-of-his-position-assets/

Quick Glance: Detention of Russia's Deputy Defense Minister on Suspicion of High Treason

Timur Ivanov, Russia's deputy defense minister, is suspected of high treason and bribery, facing a possible 15-year sentence.

Ivanov's arrest sparked speculation about a potential purge within Moscow's elite circle, especially given his close relationships with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

Independent Russian media outlets report corruption allegations against Ivanov and his family, stemming from kickbacks on ministry-related contracts.

Ivanov is also alleged to have profited from construction projects in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which fell under Moscow's control after a prolonged siege. His arrest came shortly after a meeting with Shoigu and other defense ministry officials.

Quick Glance: Moscow Court Upholds Extension of Detention for Reporter Evan Gershkovich

Following the rejection of Evan Gershkovich's appeal, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, he will remain in custody on espionage charges until at least late June.

Detained in late March 2023 during a reporting trip, the 32-year-old US citizen has spent over a year in prison, with his detention being regularly prolonged and his appeals being turned down.

Experts suggest that Moscow might be leveraging jailed Americans as leverage in the escalating tensions between the US and Russia due to the Kremlin's military operation in Ukraine.

Gershkovich's arrest marks the first time since September 1986 that an American reporter has been detained in Russia on espionage charges, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was apprehended by the KGB.

Quick Glance: Kim Jong Un's Rocket Tests and Possible Russian Assistance

Kim Jong Un oversaw tests for a rocket capable of hitting Seoul in South Korea and potentially aiding Russia in the conflict with Ukraine.

The 240-millimeter multiple rocket launcher has an estimated range of 40 to 60 kilometers and could enhance the artillery capabilities of the Korean People's Army.

Experts suggest the rocket could be significant for export, such as to Russia, and useful in the war in Ukraine.

Despite denials of an arms deal, reports indicate North Korea has been shipping military equipment to Russia, possibly indicating collaboration between the two countries.
