Putin sends stark warning to the United States

Russia’s Vladimir Putin has sent a stark warning to the United States, amid the ongoing war in Ukraine

On Russian state media, the leader says Moscow will “strike new targets” if the US has sent long-range missiles to the war-torn nation.

Putin is referring to U.S. President Biden’s recent decision to supply Ukraine with more “advanced rocket systems and munitions”.

This has angered Putin with the Russian leader saying this delivery will “drag out the armed conflict for as long as possible”.

The Russian leader continued by saying “if they are supplied, we will draw appropriate conclusions from this and use our own weapons, in order to strike at those facilities we are not targeting yet”.

This comes after Russian forces continue to move in on eastern parts of Ukraine, in the Severodonetsk.

There are new reports that suggest the Russian General has been given until June 10 to capture key cities in the area.

In Kyiv, multiple explosions were recently reported, making it the first hit on the capital in weeks.

This comes as Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelensky travels to the frontlines of the war to award soldiers for their bravery and service.

“I am proud of everyone I met, shook hands with, communicated with and supported. Something was brought for the military, but I will not detail it, and I brought something from them — to you. It is important: confidence and strength.”

China and the U.S. now caught up in a deadly game

Published

on

As the U.S. and Chinese defence bosses spoke in Beijing, many in the room realised one thing – the two are far from ready to talk.

 
A thinly veiled criticism of the United States was delivered by Chinese Defence Minister General Li Shangfu.

In his first public statement to an international audience since becoming defence minister in March, Li highlighted China’s Global Security Initiative, a set of foreign policy principles and directions in line with Beijing’s style of diplomacy, which was announced in April last year by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

“It practises exceptionalism and double standards and only serves the interests and follows the rules of a small number of countries,” he told Asia’s biggest defence conference.

Among them are opposition to unilateral sanctions and economic development as a means of stemming instability and conflict.

“Its so-called rules-based international order never tells you what the rules are, and who made these rules,” Li said in a speech to the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, without naming the US or its partners.
