The EU-China summit in Beijing ended early as tensions soared over China's deepening alliance with Russia amid the Ukraine war. Despite efforts to focus on trade, climate change, and rare earth supply cooperation, the shadow of Moscow loomed large. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that Beijing's refusal to distance itself from Russia is now the main stumbling block in EU-China relations.
Chinese President Xi Jinping countered with calls for multipolar cooperation and downplayed Western concerns. While there was some progress on rare earth mineral exports and climate action, trade imbalances and mutual investigations remain flashpoints. The summit reflected a growing unease in Europe over Chinaâs geopolitical positioning and its reluctance to leverage influence over Russia. Despite efforts to build trust, Brussels made it clear: Beijingâs stance on Ukraine will define the future of their relations. Dialogue continues, but the cracks are widening as global fault lines deepen.

Mass protests have erupted in Kyiv, Lviv, and other Ukrainian cities despite martial law, with demonstrators accusing President Zelensky of betraying democratic ideals. Anger surged after parliament passed a law curtailing two key anti-corruption agencies, handing more power to a presidentially appointed prosecutor general. Critics warn the move threatens Ukraineâs EU membership path, undermines reforms, and signals a drift toward authoritarianism. Protesters chanted âWe chose Europe, not autocracy,â while Zelensky defended the law as a way to remove Russian influence, deepening divisions amid an ongoing war with Moscow.

In a dramatic shift on the global chessboard, Israel and Ukraine have agreed to initiate a joint dialogue aimed at neutralizing the growing threat posed by Iran. Both nationsâhaunted by Iranâs military exports and nuclear ambitionsâannounced the new cooperation in Kyiv during Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saarâs visit. Ukraine accuses Iran of fuelling Russiaâs war machine with kamikaze drones, while Israel views Iranâs nuclear program as an existential threat.
Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga of Ukraine declared Iran a âglobal security menace,â and thanked Israel for its surprise strike on Iranian military targets last month. The move marks a pivotal tightening of IsraelâUkraine ties, despite past tensions over Israelâs neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine war. Both countries have now drawn a clear red line around Tehranâs expanding influenceâand plan to counter it. The anti-Iran dialogue could reshape the Middle EastâEastern Europe dynamic in the months ahead.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor OrbĂĄn has vowed to block the EUâs new budget plan, refusing to support additional funding for Ukraineâs war effort. OrbĂĄn slammed the proposal as a âbudget of hopelessness,â arguing it would harm European farmers, blackmail Hungary, and waste resources on a conflict Ukraine cannot win. He warned that 20â25% of the EUâs upcoming budget would directly go to Ukraine, leaving Europe weaker and divided. As Brussels pushes for unity, OrbĂĄn insists Ukraine should remain a partner, not a full EU member.

France has rejected NATOâs new U.S.-led initiative to fund American weapons for Ukraine, dealing a blow to Trumpâs arms plan. President Macron insists Europe must reduce dependency and prioritize its own defense industry. French officials cite budget constraints and strategic autonomy as key reasons. The move deepens a rift within NATO, with the Czech Republic and Hungary also opting out. Germany, however, backs the plan, warning that only U.S. supplies can meet Ukraineâs urgent battlefield needs against Russiaâs continued offensive.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stunned NATO and EU allies after rejecting proposed sanctions on Russian energy, calling them âideologicalâ and harmful to Slovakiaâs economy. At a press conference, Fico questioned why Slovakia should pay high gas prices due to the Ukraine conflict, citing a âŹ16â20 billion contract with Gazprom lasting until 2034. He warned of potential lawsuits if the contract is broken and predicted that âweâll all cooperate with Russia again.â His remarks underline a growing rift in Europe over energy strategy and long-term Russian ties.

India has slammed the European Union's latest round of sanctions that target Nayara Energyâs Gujarat-based Vadinar refinery for its links to Russian oil giant Rosneft. As part of its 14th package of sanctions, the EU blacklisted 105 additional vessels and took aim at Nayara â the first Indian entity to face such direct action.
Brussels aims to throttle Moscowâs wartime funding, but New Delhi has accused the EU of "double standards" and reiterated its stance against unilateral sanctions. Nayara, heavily reliant on export markets in Europe and Africa, now faces disruptions, job threats, and uncertainty over Rosneftâs $20B stalled exit plan involving Reliance. India says it remains committed to its legal obligations but wonât compromise on energy security.

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that Brussels will delay retaliation against U.S. steel and aluminum tariffs as talks with Washington continue. President Trump disrupted months of negotiation, warning the EU of sweeping 30% tariffs unless a deal is reached by August 1. Von der Leyen confirmed preparations for countermeasures are ongoing, but emphasized the EU still prefers a negotiated solution. With $24 billion in U.S. goods at stake, the next few weeks are critical as the tariff standoff risks escalating into a full-blown trade clash.
