A controversial mobilisation law in Ukraine took effect on Saturday as Kyiv faces the challenge of boosting troop numbers amid a new Russian offensive threatening the second-largest city, Kharkiv. The revised legislation aims to simplify the identification of conscripts nationwide. It also offers incentives for soldiers, such as cash bonuses and financial aid for housing or a car, benefits that some analysts believe Ukraine may struggle to finance. After months of delays, the law was finally passed in mid-April, shortly after Ukraine lowered the draft age from 27 to 25. These measures highligh...

Back in March 2023, Russian president Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping addressed each other as "dear friends". It appears not much has changed. During Putin's visit to China on Thursday, Xi said "the China-Russia relationship today is hard-earned, and the two sides need to cherish and nurture it." The exchange between the two autocratic allies says two things, according to observers.
