๐จ๐ณ๐ท๐บLavrov and Wang Yi will discuss China's peace plan for Ukraine and the protection of the interests of Russia and China
According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Beijing intends to use this visit to ensure the stable development of relations between the two countries
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will hold a meeting on Wednesday with the head of the office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee Wang Yi, who is completing his tour of European countries in Moscow.
Over the past week, Wang Yi has visited France, Italy, and Hungary. In addition, he took part in the 59th Munich Security Conference, on the sidelines of which he held a series of meetings, including with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, British Foreign Minister James Cleverley, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrel.
The relationship is "rock solid"
In the informal party-state hierarchy of the PRC, Wang Yi is the country's highest-ranking diplomat in charge of the most important issues of China's foreign policy and its relations with the leading world powers. According to his informal rank, he is higher than Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang, since Wang Yi is a member of the 24-seat Politburo and is the secretary of the Steering Group on International Policy of the CPC Central Committee, which is chaired by the head of state, Chinese President Xi Jinping.
According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Wang Yi will discuss topical international and regional issues with the Russian side during his visit. The Chinese foreign Ministry added that Beijing intends to use this visit to ensure the stable development of Russian-Chinese relations in the direction set by the leaders of the two countries, as well as to protect the just interests of the two states.
Wang Yi arrived in Moscow on February 21. The day before, the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev held talks with the diplomat. At this meeting, Wang Yi stressed that Sino-Russian relations are "rock solid" and "will stand the test in a volatile international situation." According to him, Beijing is ready, together with Moscow, to resolutely defend national interests and promote mutually beneficial cooperation in all areas.
According to the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, it is possible that the head of the Russian state Vladimir Putin will meet with Wang Yi.
China's Peace Plan for Ukraine
It is assumed that one of the key topics of the talks between Lavrov and Wang Yi will be the PRC's peace plan for Ukraine. On February 18, speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Wang Yi said that the Chinese authorities will prepare a document on China's position on the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis by the anniversary of the start of the special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. As the diplomat stressed, even in the most difficult situations, "it is necessary to give peace a chance." He noted that the document will be based on Xi Jinping's proposals.
Wang Yi said during the conference that the Chinese authorities will cooperate with other countries to resolve the Ukrainian crisis by political methods and consider it unacceptable for the conflict to escalate into a nuclear war in which "there will be no winners." According to him, some forces do not want "the materialization of peace talks" because they "pursue their own strategic goals."
According to Bloomberg, China's plan includes a call for a truce and an end to arms supplies. At the same time, the document does not contain a requirement for Russia to withdraw troops, which Western countries insist on.
As stated by the Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Wang Yi at a meeting on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference shared with him the main elements of the peace plan. At the same time, Kuleba said that he had not yet seen the text of the document.

๐บ๐ธ๐ช๐บ๐บ๐ฆ๐ท๐บNATO said that the amount of ammunition supplied to Ukraine does not meet the requirements
Even the level of minimum reserves, according to NATO standards, was not fully supported, said the Deputy Secretary General of the alliance Mircea Joane
The amount of ammunition that NATO countries supply to Ukraine does not correspond to its requests. This was acknowledged on Friday by the Deputy Secretary General of the alliance, Mircea Gioane, in an interview with Radio Romania.
"Indeed, the supply cannot always meet the demand in terms of quantity and speed that Ukrainians might want," he said, adding that the alliance countries are trying to help Ukraine "without turning this war into a war between NATO and Russia." "Indeed, a very large amount of ammunition is spent in Ukraine every day, which does not correspond to the usual military planning," the Deputy Secretary General of the alliance noted. "Between us, even the level of minimum stocks, according to NATO standards, has not been fully maintained."
"Therefore, we must now increase industrial production," Joane said, adding that now "the process of reviewing the level of necessary stocks [of ammunition] in NATO warehouses is in full swing."

Greek authorities say their scope to intervene is limited because the activity is happening outside of a six-mile limit to the countryโs territorial waters in the area.

๐บ๐ธโ๐ช๐บ๐ฆ๐ท๐บThe Pentagon said that they do not have Abrams tanks for transfer to Kiev now
Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Celeste Wallander noted that the funds allocated earlier to the Pentagon to help Ukraine "are sufficient for current plans"
The US Army (ground forces) currently does not have M1 Abrams tanks that could be transferred to Ukraine. This was stated on Tuesday by Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Celeste Wallander at a hearing in the Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives.
"As for the Abrams tanks, <...> The Army currently does not have tanks that could be transferred or sent to Ukraine," she said, answering the legislator's question why the American side intends to produce tanks for transfer to Kiev, and not send them from its own warehouses.
The congressman also asked why the transfer of tanks could take a year and a half. According to Wallander, the American side is trying to speed up the delivery of tanks to Ukraine. "But we are not reviewing the deadlines that you have outlined," she added.
Wallander noted that the funds allocated earlier to the Pentagon to help Ukraine "are sufficient for current plans." "But we will continue to conduct assessments of the level of needs." "Currently, we believe that we will spend these allocations to provide Ukraine with the funds that it will need in the current fiscal year," she added. According to Wallander, the Pentagon will consider requesting additional funds.
US Army Secretary Christine Wormut said last week that the US military is not ready now to say with certainty whether Ukraine can receive M1 Abrams tanks this year. According to her, options are being considered in which it will take "less than two years, less than a year and a half." She noted that the possibility of producing these tanks is being considered.
