German leader Scholz, to meet U.S. President Biden at the White House to discuss additional military aid for Ukraine
Russian troops and mercenaries were closing off the last access routes to the besieged Ukrainian city of Bakhmut on Friday, on the cusp of Moscow’s first major victory in half a year after the bloodiest fighting of the war.
Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin, appearing in combat uniform in a video filmed on a rooftop, urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to order a retreat from Bakhmut to save his soldiers’ lives. Volodymyr Nazarenko, a deputy commander in the National Guard of Ukraine, told Ukrainian NV Radio the situation was “critical,” with fighting going on “round the clock.”
Germany makes the Leopard tanks that are expected to be the core of a new Ukrainian armoured force when they arrive later this year. The Biden administration is sounding out close allies about the possibility of imposing new sanctions on China if Beijing provides military support to Russia, U.S. officials and other sources said. China has denied considering such assistance, and U.S. officials have not publicly provided evidence for their suspicions.
