Trump:

I like President XI of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH!!!

Trump:

Powell must now LOWER THE RATE. He is unbelievable!!!

Zelensky:

Ukraine and Russia are ready to exchange 500 prisoners of war from each side this weekend.

Zelensky:

Half of 41 planes damaged in attack on Russia cannot be repaired. Attack on Russian aircraft would not have taken place if Russia agreed to a ceasefire beforehand.

I propose ceasefire until leaders’ meeting takes place. Russian proposals are ‘not doable’.

Ukraine is ready for leaders’ meeting at any time. Continuation of Istanbul meetings at a level which does not lead to decisions is meaningless.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov:

Russia demands a clear response from the US and Britain to Ukraine's attacks on Russia's strategic aviation in order to prevent further escalation.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov:

Russia has shown maximum restraint after Kiev's attacks on railways and airfields.

Zelensky:

The Russian memorandum is an ultimatum. Neither the Ukrainian side nor the partners will take it seriously.

Russian Foreign Ministry:

We are concerned about rising tensions around Iran and the situation potentially slipping into a full-scale confrontation.

There should be only a political and diplomatic solution.

Russia is ready to assist in the search for solutions.

It allows the aircraft to detect and track airborne targets (like aircraft, missiles) and ground targets (like ships, vehicles) at long ranges.

Russia's Medinsky:

The upcoming prisoner exchange will take place in the "1200 for 1200" format.

Ukraine’s SBU confirms Clash Report exclusive.

“The operation used cutting-edge drone tech combining AI-based autonomy with human control.
