President Putin doesn’t plan for peace, he’s planning for more war, adding that Russia was increasing military industrial production and reaching out to authoritarian regimes like Iran or North Korea, and others to try to get more weapons. The combat was so intense that Ukraine’s use of artillery shells – 4,000 to 7,000 a day to Russia’s 20,000 was outrunning western.
Acknowledged by seven of 30 member states. EU members agreed to supply Ukraine with a million rounds of shells, enough for six months. 

China,, Xi Jinping, visited Moscow earlier in the week, has been told by Nato there would be consequences” if it supplied aid to Moscow. A serious effort by China to act as a mediator in the conflict must be accompanied by an attempt “to understand Ukraine’s perspectives”, the Nato chief said, and to “engage with President Zelenskiy directly”. While welcoming any peace initiative, he complained that Beijing had not yet condemned the Russian invasion.
