Russia Barrage Hits Kyiv as Trump Flies to Beijing for Hormuz Summit
Russia launched more than 200 drones at Ukraine overnight as the weekend ceasefire proposal collapsed and Donald Trump began travel to Beijing for his first Xi summit in nearly nine years. The US Supreme Court further stripped Trump's tariff authority and April CPI hit 3.8 percent on a 28 percent gasoline jump; UK 30-year gilts touched 5.797 percent — the highest since 1998 — as 50 Labour MPs called on Keir Starmer to quit. France co-chaired a 40-nation Hormuz defence-minister meeting, and UNAMA tied 269 of 372 Q1 Afghan civilian deaths to Pakistan's March 16 airstrike on a Kabul drug-rehab hospital.
Russia hits Kyiv and Dnipro with more than 200 drones as proposed ceasefire collapses, Ukraine signs US drone production memorandum
A weekend ceasefire proposal between Russia and Ukraine collapsed on Tuesday as Russian forces launched more than 200 drones overnight, with explosions reported in Kyiv and Dnipro and Kyiv claiming a roughly 90 percent interception rate. Ukraine signed a memorandum with the United States on drone-technology exchange and joint production, Washington's first formal move to tap Ukrainian battlefield expertise on unmanned systems. The crisis landed alongside a domestic shock: anti-graft agencies named six more suspects in their probe of former presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak — the day after NABU and SAPO filed a UAH 460 million money-laundering case tied to a luxury housing project — while Kyiv's top diplomat accused Moscow of trying to barter abducted Ukrainian children in the proposed prisoner swap.
Ukraine names former Zelensky chief of staff Yermak a suspect in money-laundering probe
Ukrainian anti-graft agencies named Andriy Yermak, who served as President Volodymyr Zelensky's chief of staff until his resignation last year, a suspect in a money-laundering case tied to a luxury housing project, a continuation of last year's Operation Midas that has now flagged six additional suspects. Investigators stressed Zelensky himself is not, and has never been, a subject of the case. The suspicion notice landed as a weekend ceasefire collapsed under more than 200 Russian drones overnight on Kyiv and Dnipro and as Kyiv signed a memorandum with Washington on drone technology exchange and joint production.
Trump departs for delayed two-day Beijing summit with Xi Jinping, his first China visit in nearly nine years
Donald Trump began his travel to Beijing on Tuesday for a two-day summit with Xi Jinping, his first visit to China in nearly nine years and one delayed from April because of the US-Israel war on Iran. Washington wants Beijing — Tehran's closest backer and the largest buyer of Iranian oil — to push Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war, while Xi is expected to demand US restraint on Taiwan, including a declared US position against Taiwanese sovereignty and limits on arms sales to the island. Trump confirmed Taiwan's defence would be on the agenda and is travelling with a tech delegation that includes Apple's Tim Cook, SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Meta president Dina Powell McCormick, Micron's Sanjay Mehrotra, Cisco's Chuck Robbins and Qualcomm's Cristiano Amon.
