AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoRussia-China diplomacy: Putin landed in Beijing for talks with Xi, pitching “unshakeable” ties right after Trump’s China visit, with energy and the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline expected to dominate. Ukraine war spillover: Ukraine says it can trace tens of millions of tons of grain taken from occupied areas using lab testing and satellite data, while Russia keeps hitting ports and energy nodes, including strikes tied to Danube infrastructure and drone attacks toward Moscow. China’s deeper role: Reuters reports China secretly trained about 200 Russian troops in drone-focused warfare in 2025, later returning to fight in Ukraine—raising the stakes beyond public exercises. Sanctions and industry: The EU is weighing longer Russia sanctions renewal cycles, while the US keeps extending waivers on Russian oil as Hormuz-linked supply stress pushes prices. Frontline pressure: Reports also point to rising alarm inside Russia as strikes reach the capital region, and to continued economic strain from the war.
