Russian President Vladimir Putin was due to make a speech on Tuesday setting out aims for the second year of his invasion of Ukraine, a day after U.S. President Joe Biden walked the streets of Kyiv promising to stand with Ukraine as long as it takes.

DIPLOMACY

* Biden promised new military aid for Ukraine worth $500 million during the visit to Kyiv and said more sanctions would be announced this week against the Russian elite and companies. Biden later arrived in Warsaw, television footage showed.

* Biden is scheduled to meet in Warsaw with Poland’s President Andrzej Duda, along with other leaders of countries on NATO’s eastern flank. Biden and Duda will discuss reinforcing Poland’s security and increasing the NATO presence in the country, the Polish president’s foreign affairs adviser said.

* China is “deeply worried” that the Ukraine conflict could spiral out of control, foreign minister Qin Gang said, and he called on certain countries to stop “fuelling the fire” in an apparent dig at the United States.

* China told the United States to keep out of its relationship with Russia, just as Beijing’s top diplomat prepared for a visit to Moscow on Tuesday.
