Important Takeaways:
- ‘A serious problem’: Secretary of State Antony Blinken says China pondering supplying weapons to Russia. Live Ukraine updates
- Secretary of State Antony Blinken said from the Munich Security Conference that the Chinese – who a year ago declared their friendship with Russia has “no limits” – are pondering expanding their backing of Moscow, which so far has not included weapons.
- “The concern that we have now is based on information we have that they’re considering providing lethal support,” Blinken told CBS’s “Face the Nation” in an interview that aired Sunday, “and we’ve made very clear to them that that would cause a serious problem for us and in our relationship.”
- Boosting the Kremlin’s diminishing arsenal could not only stack the odds against Western-backed Ukraine but raise the specter of escalating the conflict into a world war. Russia is already getting assistance from Iran, which has supplied it explosive drones mostly used to damage Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure.
- Latest Developments:
- The Netherlands is expelling several Russian diplomats it accuses of serving as spies “under diplomatic cover,” Dutch Foreign Affairs Minister Wopke Hoekstra said.
- Ukraine Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba is requesting supporting countries that they provide fighter jet training to its pilots while debating whether to supply the aircraft.
- Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said the West should not restore normal relations with Russia until the Kremlin pays for its actions in Ukraine. “I don’t think there can be any relations as usual with a pariah state that hasn’t really given up the imperialistic goals,” Kallas said.

Important Takeaways:
- Russian balloons over Kyiv in new wave of attacks
- Ukraine’s army has said Russia fired 36 cruise missiles on Thursday, a day after six apparently radar-reflecting balloons were spotted over Kyiv.
- The missiles fired from land and sea killed a woman and hit critical infrastructure, officials said.
- Ukraine noted there had been a change in Russian tactics, in an apparent reference to the balloons above Kyiv.
- Most of the balloons were shot down, Kyiv’s military said, adding that they were being propelled by wind power.
- Balloons with reflectors have also been spotted over the eastern region of Dnipropetrovsk in recent days.
- “These objects could carry radar reflectors and certain reconnaissance equipment,” said air force spokesman Yurii Ihnat. “The balloons were launched to detect and exhaust our air defense forces.”
- And earlier this week, Romania scrambled fighter jets when an object resembling a weather balloon was spotted at a height of around 11,000 ft (3,350m). Moldova briefly closed its air space because of the unidentified object.
- By “soaking up” as much of that missile defense as possible, the balloons would then allow Russia’s fighters, bombers, cruise missiles and attack drones to strike Ukrainian targets relatively unimpeded.
