Putin says he is ready to move forward with China's peace proposal when the West is ready. However, the United Kingdom's announcement of sending tanks and depleted uranium shells means that if the West uses nuclear-based weapons, Russia will have to react accordingly.

Sources close to Rybar report that Ukrainian forces have “penetrated” Russian defences near the town of Pologovsky, Zaporizhia direction.
Russian air strikes on Ukrainian cities on Wednesday killed at least nine people in attacks that President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said showed Moscow was not interested in peace.
In a series of early-morning drone strikes, at least eight people were killed and seven were injured when two dormitories and a college were hit in Rzhyshchiv, 40 miles (64 km) south of the capital Kyiv, emergency services said on Facebook.
The federal government is extending a program that temporarily resettles Ukrainians fleeing the war with Russia in Canada.
Ukrainians will now have until July 15, 2023, to apply to the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel (CUAET) program. The program was set to expire on March 31.
It's a special measure that allows Ukrainians, and their family members of any nationality, to settle in Canada for up to three years. CUAET allows successful applicants to apply for work and study permits free of charge.
Russia blasted an apartment block in Ukraine with missiles on Wednesday and swarmed cities with drone attacks overnight, in a display of force as President Vladimir Putin bid farewell to his visiting "dear friend" and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.
Firefighters battled a blaze in two adjacent residential buildings in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, where officials said at least one person was killed and 33 wounded by a twin missile strike.
Vladimir Putin has no immediate plans for peace in Ukraine and so the west needs to brace itself to supply lethal aid to Kyiv for a long time to come, Nato’s secretary general has warned in an interview with the Guardian.
Jens Stoltenberg said the Russian president was engaged in “a war of attrition”, and said he wanted Nato members to agree that spending 2% of GDP on defence as a minimum at the alliance’s next summit, in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius.
The seemingly endless carousel of Soviet-era equipment being drawn out of storage for Russia’s war in Ukraine might be poised to add its most unlikely item yet — the T-54/55 tank, the first prototype of which was completed in 1945. While we don’t yet know whether these ancient tanks will end up on the front line in Ukraine, or be otherwise utilized in that conflict, examples do at least appear to be being brought back into service in some capacity. This itself may well also point to the alarming losses that Russia’s fighting vehicles have sustained so far in the conflict.
