Putin-Xi Jinping Strengthen Ties Amid Growing Tensions With NATO | Conduct Joint Military Drills
Russian and Chinese naval forces have commenced a series of joint military exercises, titled 'Maritime Joint-2024,' in the Pacific Ocean.
The three-day drills, which began near the Chinese city of Zhanjiang, aim to enhance the naval forces' capability to address security threats, maintain international and regional stability, and strengthen the strategic partnership between the two nations, according to a statement from Beijing's Defense Ministry.
Two vessels from Russia’s Pacific Fleet are participating in the exercises, as reported by the fleet’s press office on Monday via TASS.
The participating crews are set to conduct a range of activities, including air defence exercises, drills involving anti-submarine aviation, resupply operations while underway, and sea rescue training.
The weapons are expected to be used in response to North Korea's decision to send thousands of troops to Russia in support of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, according to one of the sources.

In a rare and high-stakes diplomatic exchange, Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reconnected for the first time in nearly two years, engaging in a detailed and frank hour-long conversation. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov characterised the call as a candid discussion where both leaders outlined their positions on the Ukraine conflict. Putin, speaking in Russian through a translator despite his German proficiency, reiterated Moscow’s demands for Ukraine’s neutrality, demilitarisation, and the recognition of Russian-annexed territories. Scholz, facing a political crisis at home, pressed for a withdrawal of Russian troops and reaffirmed Germany’s strong support for Ukraine. The timing of the call, coinciding with key international events, marks a pivotal moment in Russia-Germany relations as diplomatic tensions continue to mount.

In one of the deadliest attacks in months, Russian forces launched a devastating assault on Ukraine using 120 drones and 90 missiles, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. The attack, which targeted key infrastructure across Ukrainian cities, is being described as the most intense bombardment in recent weeks. Ukrainian officials confirmed that various types of drones, including Iranian-made Shaheds, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles, were deployed in the strike. President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Ukrainian defenses were able to shoot down 140 air targets, but the attack caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure and left dozens injured. In Mykolaiv, two people were killed and six others injured, including two children, when a drone hit the city. In Odesa, another strike caused widespread destruction, killing two and disrupting power and water supplies in the region.
