European Union intelligence agencies have reportedly verified that China conducted training for Russian military personnel who later engaged in the conflict in Ukraine. Anonymous senior EU officials stated that European services found proof of this training taking place within Chinese borders, a claim Beijing has consistently refuted. Concurrently, Ukraine is set to seek an additional $20 billion in military assistance from its partners at the next Ramstein meeting. Meanwhile, the United States plans to decrease its military presence in Europe, including fighter jets and warships. European officials recognize that this reduction could potentially impact the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Sources: Громадське, Радіо Свобода, Українська правда
