Moscow has warned the United States not to "test Russia's patience" by continuing drone overflights over the Black Sea. The new threat comes from Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.
The diplomat, quoted by the RIA Novosti news agency, said that the US "cynically denies" the ban imposed by Russia on overflights in an area of the Black Sea following the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian president attacks Russia on Twitter, the day after the meeting between Putin and Xi.
“More than 20 killer Iranian drones, plus missiles and numerous bombings. And that alone in the last night of Russian terror against Ukraine. Every time someone tries to hear the word 'peace' in Moscow, another is given there order for these criminal raids,” Zelensky wrote.
"The success of Ukraine's land, air and sea forces truly brings peace closer. Full compliance with the sanctions regime against Russia restores the strength of the UN Charter. Global unity can restore global stability" .
