Russia threatens 'serious damage' to relations with US, Turkey over weapons shipment to Ukraine
"The Kremlin has contacted officials in Washington and Ankara with concerns regarding an upcoming transfer of arms to Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.
Her remarks come a week after U.S. congressional records revealed that Turkey was planning to re-export a significant package of American-made weapons to Kyiv. The shipment includes 70 long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), along with other materiel.
The delivery of such weapons will cause "serious damage to our bilateral relations with Washington and Ankara," Zakharova told reporters.
Sending arms to Ukraine undermines attempts by the U.S. and Turkey to act as mediators in the war between Kyiv and Moscow, the foreign ministry said." KI

China is opening the first regular cargo route through the Arctic
"Shipping cargo through an Arctic shortcut never made economic sense—until now.
A Chinese company is starting the first regular cargo service to Europe through Arctic waters, seeking to reap the benefits of quicker travel time and less fuel use.
Beyond that, Beijing has ambitions to play a role in the Arctic’s future, lending a geopolitical dimension to the Chinese company’s shipping route.
Last year Sea Legend completed a trial run from Asia to Europe in a record 20 days. That is roughly half the time of a voyage via Africa’s Cape of Good Hope that many carriers now take because of the Red Sea uncertainty." msn
