Помпезный госвизит американского президента и не менее торжественный официальный визит президента России в Поднебесную стали, пожалуй, самыми яркими политическими зрелищами мая. Но, поскольку от ярких заявлений главы трех супердержав воздержались, события эти мало взволновали рынки. Куда больше инвесторов волновало хрупкое перемирие и блокировка судоходства в Ормузском заливе, которое к концу мая на сдержанной риторике представителей Ирана и США охладило цены на нефть ниже психологического порога $100 за баррель. Однако после «риторики пушек» 25–26 мая, когда американцы заявили об ударах по иранским катерам и пусковым площадкам иранских ракет, и после ответных угроз иранцев поднять цены на нефть до $200 нефть-таки вернулась к росту. Тем временем в России инвесторы в сезон годовых отчетов компаний с большим интересом слушали не политиков, а представителей крупного бизнеса в надежде на рост цен акций и выплату вожделенных дивидендов по итогам 2025 года.

Debris from downed Ukrainian drones sparked a blaze at a major oil refinery in Russia on Sunday, according to local authorities. This comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin said that his country was “going through a difficult period”. In recent months, Ukraine has stepped up its long-range attacks on Russian military facilities, choking Moscow's fuel supplies and military deliveries.

Strikes on oil refineries and energy facilities are not ‘morale bombing’, says Tim Dee-McCullough, while Dr Natalie Kopytko says such attacks save lives in Ukraine and Nathan Gabriel Wood decries a ‘false moral equivalency’ drawn between Russia and UkraineProf Christian Enemark’s letter (‘Morale’ bombing Moscow is not justified, 25 June) articulates a position of admirable moral consistency, but one that risks being fatally disconnected from the strategic and moral realities that Ukraine faces.The professor rests his argument on a bright-line distinction between combatants and civilians – a distinction that has genuine force in international humanitarian law, but which becomes considerably more complicated when Russian civilians fund, staff and politically sustain a war machine that has systematically targeted Ukrainian hospitals, schools, apartment blocks and energy infrastructure.

Latest attack follows civilian deaths on both sides of Russia-Ukraine border on Saturday. What we know on day 1,585A Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv early Sunday has wounded at least two people, the city’s administration said not long after it had warned residents to take shelter.“Air defence forces are operating in the capital. Remain in shelters!”, the capital’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram. Explosions and several flashes in the sky have been reported. “As of now, the number of wounded in the overnight attack has risen to two,” head of the local military administration, Tymur Tkachenko said in a post on Telegram. Several fires broke out in the Darnytsky district as a result of the attack, Tkachenko said earlier.The attack follows civilian deaths on both sides of the ​Russia-Ukraine border on Saturday. Russian strikes in Dnipropetrovsk in central-eastern Ukraine and the northern Sumy region killed two people, while Ukraine launched attacks on Volgograd and Belgorod in Russia’s southwest, and Horlivka, in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, which is controlled by Moscow. Three people were killed in the attacks, regional authorities said.In the Russian border region of Bryansk, ⁠a Ukrainian drone strike on Saturday killed two people in their car in a village near the border, ⁠the region’s acting governor Yegor Kovalchuk said on Telegram. Russia’s defence ​ministry, quoted by Russian ‌news agencies, said ‌124 Ukrainian drones had been downed over Russian regions over ‌a period extending from 8 am to 8pm.A “massive” Ukrainian drone strike reportedly also hit in the Krasnodar region in southern Russia, killing one person, wounding another and causing a fire in an oil refinery. Krasnodar regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev said on Sunday that several houses were also damaged by falling debris. “Krasnodar region came under a massive enemy drone attack... Sadly, one person was killed,” Kondratyev said in a post on Telegram, adding that “one person was wounded and received the necessary assistance on site”. He said a “fire also broke out at an oil refinery in the city, and a power line and gas pipe were damaged”.More than 40 drone strikes and artillery fire had killed one person and injured one near Nikopol, according to the governor of the ​southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region in Ukraine, Oleksandr Ganzha.

Serbia is a candidate to join the European Union but it is under pressure from the West to align with EU sanctions on Russia, a step Belgrade has so far declined to take. It must also improve its rule of law, including conditions for fair elections, and root out corruption and organised crime.Russian president Vladimir Putin and Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko held talks on Friday, according to the Kremlin, and discussions were expected to have focused on the war in Ukraine.
