As Moscow Promises Peace Documents That Never Arrive, Russian Forces Advance Across Multiple Fronts and China Cuts Drone Sales to Ukraine
Summary of the Day – May 29, 2025
The diplomatic dance between Washington, Moscow, and Kyiv took on an increasingly surreal quality as Russian officials continued to promise a peace memorandum that remained perpetually just out of reach. President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of stalling the peace process by failing to deliver promised negotiation documents, warning international partners that Moscow is attempting to deceive those still relying on diplomacy over pressure. Meanwhile, the battlefield told a different story entirely: Russian forces seized multiple settlements across Ukrainian territory, from Stroivka in the northeast to advances near Pokrovsk in the east. In a development that could reshape the technological balance of the war, President Zelensky revealed that China has stopped selling drones to Ukraine and Western countries while continuing to supply them to Russia, including establishing production lines on Russian territory with Chinese representatives present.
The Vanishing Act: Russia’s Peace Memorandum Remains a Phantom
For more than a week, Russian officials have promised to deliver a detailed memorandum outlining their conditions for peace negotiations with Ukraine. That document, despite repeated assurances from Moscow, has yet to materialize in any tangible form.
“Even the so-called memorandum they promised and claimed to be preparing for more than a week — no one has seen it,” Zelensky stated on May 29. “Ukraine hasn’t received it. Our partners haven’t received it. Even Turkey, which hosted the first meeting, hasn’t received the updated agenda.”
