Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Moscow to attend the Victory Day parade, standing beside Russian President Vladimir Putin as a show of solidarity. However, analysts suggest that while the two leaders appear to be close, their relationship is complex and nuanced, with China being the more powerful partner. Xi is walking a fine line between maintaining a strong partnership with Russia and avoiding isolation from other potential partners, particularly in Europe, due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The visit also sends a message to the US, particularly to former President Donald Trump, that China and Russia will not be swayed apart.

Europe's leaders, including Ukraine, France, the UK, Germany, and Poland, have proposed a 30-day unconditional ceasefire in the Ukraine war, aiming to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to reveal his true war goals. The proposal, initially made by the US and Ukraine, puts pressure on the Kremlin to respond, and on the White House to step up and monitor the truce. The move is seen as a significant diplomatic moment in the war, with the goal of determining whether Putin wants peace and potentially leading to serious negotiations on Ukraine's borders. However, the path ahead is fraught with challenges, including the risk of Russian manipulation and the need for Europe to escalate its military backing for Ukraine if the ceasefire is violated.
