Harris sees the idea of Ukraine bargaining for land
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris says in a speech with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi that it is important that the United States continue to show "unquestionable support" to the country.
- Putin can put an end to this war by withdrawing his troops, she says according to AP.
She goes on to say that there are "some" in the US who want Ukraine to hand over land to Russia to end the war. A comment aimed at her opponent in the election, Donald Trump.
- Such agreements are not peace agreements but agreements to give up, she says.
She also warns that Putin will likely not be satisfied with taking over parts of Ukraine, but may continue his war of invasion in Poland and the Baltics.

China's rearmament
Sources: Newly built Chinese nuclear submarine has sunk
China's newly built nuclear submarine sank in the spring, US government sources told the Wall Street Journal.
The incident is described as a heavy blow to the Chinese navy, which is working to modernize itself. That the submarine has sunk was not known until now and, according to the WSJ, China has tried to keep the incident a secret.
According to the sources, the submarine must have sunk at a shipyard outside Wuhan in either May or June this year. It is unclear if there was radioactive material on board, but an expert says it is likely.
According to the Pentagon's assessment, China had 48 diesel-powered and six nuclear-powered submarines by the end of 2022. According to the same report, China is working to expand its submarine fleet. The submarine that sank is said to have been the first of the more modern models to be completed.
China's embassy in the United States declined to comment on the information.

Political situation in Myanmar
The military junta in Myanmar opens for peace negotiations
The military junta in Myanmar has called on its opponents to lay down their arms and enter into peace negotiations, AFP reports.
The junta has been fighting for more than three years against much less well-armed rebels who oppose the military regime's overthrow of the democratically installed government.
In a statement, the rebels are asked to "communicate with us to solve political problems through political means".
It is the first time that the junta has opened negotiations with the rebel groups. The regime is seen as increasingly under pressure to retain power.
