Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping agreed in May to deepen what they called their "comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation" for a new era - now Russia says it and China could "combine their potential" if faced with aggression.
David Lammy and his US counterpart Anthony Blinken have arrived in Kyiv for crucial talks as president Joe Biden reveals he is considering lifting restrictions on Ukraine’s use of long-range weapons to target sites deep inside Russia.
The two countries’ top diplomats arrived in the Ukrainian capital this morning after announcing the joint trip, the first of its kind in almost a decade, during Blinken’s visit to London on Tuesday.
They are due to meet Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, who has consistently asked Kyiv’s western partners to allow them to use donated UK and US long-range missiles on targets in the Russian mainland.
