Russian troops attempted to land on the Kozatsky island near Kherson. However, the assault was a failure for the Russians, RBC-Ukraine reports, citing the spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine, Vladyslav Voloshyn.
 

Ukraine’s military noted that in the Prydniprovsk direction, the enemy continues both assault actions and shelling.

“Over the past day, they (Russians – ed.) continued attempting to land on Kozatsky island. However, they were unsuccessful, could not land, and suffered losses in equipment,” said the spokesperson.

According to Voloshyn, boats, watercraft, and military personnel were among the enemy’s losses.

As the reports indicate, the islands at the mouth of the Dnipro River, which essentially marks the dividing line between the right-bank and left-bank parts of the Kherson region, are in the so-called “gray zone” of combat operations. The occupiers are trying to seize control over them, which would help them consolidate their position on the right bank.

Situation in Kherson region

Kherson is the only regional center that the Russians temporarily occupied. In 2022, Ukrainian forces liberated Kherson and the right-bank part of the Kherson region.

However, Russian troops continue daily shelling of liberated Ukrainian territories.

According to local authorities, Russian occupiers have intensified shelling of the Kherson region lately. Sabotage groups have also become more active, attempting to infiltrate and establish themselves in the right-bank part of the region.

China has imposed sanctions on seven United States military companies and their executives. The move was made because of military aid and arms sales to Taiwan, according to the Global Times.

The agency reminds that the United States recently announced significant military assistance to Taiwan, which, according to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, seriously violates the one-China principle.

Beijing’s sanctions were imposed against:

• Insitu Inc;
• Hudson Technologies Co;
• Saronic Technologies, Inc;
• Raytheon Canada;
• Raytheon Australia;
• Aerkomm Inc;
• Oceaneering International, Inc;

“Their movable and immovable properties and other kinds of assets within China shall be frozen. All organizations and individuals within China shall be prohibited from engaging in transaction, cooperation and other activities with them, read the statement,” the Global Times added.

Relations between China and the United States

Relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) remain complex and tense, covering areas such as trade, politics, security, and technology.

The two countries are global competitors, and their relationship is defined by economic rivalry and geopolitical tensions. This is especially evident in issues related to Taiwan, the situation in the South China Sea, and human rights.

Political ties between China and the Russian Federation (RF) have become an additional factor of tension. The United States has repeatedly drawn attention to the risks to China’s international reputation due to its assistance to Moscow in circumventing sanctions imposed on Russia for its war against Ukraine.
