Chinese and Philippine naval forces clashed near the contested Second Thomas Shoal in the West Philippine Sea today.

Zelenskyy offered Fedorov a senior role within Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council with direct access to the president and a mandate to oversee defence innovation and military reform, according to people familiar with the situation.
Under the arrangement offered, Fedorov would have overseen defence technology programmes and efforts to scale production of long-range weapons, the people said, allowing him to continue pushing reforms outside the defence ministry and military command. He would also have worked to attract foreign investment into Ukraine’s defence industry.
