Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, visiting Brussels for the China-EU Strategic Dialogue, called for stronger China-EU relations and deeper communication ahead of the upcoming leaders’ summit. After meeting EU Council President Antonio Costa, Wang emphasized mutual respect and warned against “unilateralism and bullying.” The two also discussed Ukraine, with Beijing reaffirming its support for peace talks. Costa urged China to address trade imbalances and support a rules-based order. Wang will continue his Europe tour with visits to Germany and France through July 6.
Russian forces launched more than 500 drones and missiles across Ukraine, hitting infrastructure in 14 locations and injuring five people, including four railway workers. Ukraine’s rail operator reported major delays after facilities in the Kirovohrad region were damaged.
Explosions were reported in nine regions, with power cuts in Chernihiv, transport disruptions in Khmelnytskyi, and a warehouse fire in Ivano-Frankivsk. Ukraine said 430 drones and 21 missiles were intercepted, but some still struck targets.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attacks “intimidation,” urging stronger international pressure on Russia. He announced upcoming talks with Scandinavian, Baltic, EU, and US partners to coordinate further support.
