Jamie Dimon says China's relationship with Russia will make it difficult for the US to fully engage with it

• The US should embrace full engagement with China, but expect a hard time along the way, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon told Sky News.
• This will remain difficult as long as China is close to Russia, he noted.
• But Dimons says the US should treat Beijing as a competitor instead of an enemy.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon considers full US engagement as the right approach to China, but says obstacles will make it a difficult course to follow, he told Sky News .

Chief among issues is Beijing's strengthening relationship with Moscow, Dimon told the outlet on Wednesday: "As long as China is kind of on the side of Russia, we're going to have a hard time."

In many ways, the two countries have aligned themselves as the up-and-coming alternative to the Western order, and China has become a major counterpoint to the numerous sanctions burdening the Russian economy since its invasion of Ukraine.

Geopolitically, both nations are also pursuing a "no-limits" partnership , and have recently engaged in a joint military exercise near Taiwan. The straight — a point of contention between US and China — will also remain a barrier to productive talks, Dimon cited.

But aside from these headwinds, Dimon said that the US and its allies are in a good state to take on Beijing, and should approach it as a serious competitor, but not necessarily an enemy

"We have competition with China. I think the American government is doing the right thing to fully engage. That doesn't mean that China's going to like everything we do, just like we don't like everything they do, but it doesn't have to be war," he said. "It can be tough competition, and we should be prepared for that."

In this mindset, Dimon cited that the US shouldn't shy away from trade, despite some downsides that receive too much emphasis, he said. 

"There are some downsides to trade. We focus too much on that," he said. "We should count our blessings, be strategic, be very thoughtful, fully engage with China. They're not an enemy — but they're competing." 

His comments followed after President Biden issued a slew of tariffs against Chinese imports , which included quadrupling the tax rate on electric vehicle products.

‘Limonov: The Ballad’ Review: Ben Whishaw Stars in a Portrait of a Radical That Is All Swagger and No Game

Kirill Serebrennikov returns to Cannes competition with a showily unconvincing mythologization of the notorious Russian writer and agitator's messy life and messier politics.

By Jessica Kiang

That the name Limonov is pronounced Lee-MWAH-nov is one of two main things that Kirill Serebrennikov ‘s “ Limonov: The Ballad ” teaches us about Eduard Limonov, the Russian radical, poet, dissident, emigré, returnee, detainee, bête noire and cause célèbre who in 1993 co-founded the ultra-nationalist National Bolshevik Party. The second is that, as imagined in this adaptation of Emmanuel Carrère’s 2015 fictionalized biography, for all the shifting identities and attitudes he assumed over the course of his controversial life, his persona as an aggravatingly self-aggrandizing solipsist never wavered. 

Popular on Variety

However Elena’s modelling career takes off, while Eddie spends his days wandering the streets of New York getting into fights with pamphleteers. Actually make that the street of New York: the set-built thoroughfare is impressively dressed by production designer Vlad Ogay but it is only that one street, giving a further air of pastichey theatricality to this whole segment. The inertia is increased by DP Roman Vasyanov’s curiously sluggish camera movement, by a Brechtian reality break and by the rather obvious movie references that Serebrennikov shoehorns in, to the point of having a young girl in a wide hat leaning in at the window of a yellow taxicab as Eddie and Elena exit the porn theater. 

But then obviousness bedevils this movie, even as we follow Eddie through his stint as a butler to a millionaire, through his period of Parisian celebrity, his return to Russia, imprisonment and subsequent release into the embrace of the militantly nationalist fanbase he has accrued. And it’s a quality that lands particularly awkwardly in the film’s more dubious passages. A sexual encounter that Eddie engineers with a homeless Black man during the dark days after Elena leaves him, is a case in point: Eddie clearly gets off on the perceived sexual, racial and class-based transgressiveness of the act, but it is presented so bluntly here that we do not sense the film critiquing, or even particularly noticing, the queasiness of those assumptions.

Polish filmmaker Pawel Pawlikowski, credited here as co-screenwriter and executive producer, stated in a 2020 interview that after three years attached to this project as writer-director “I don’t really like this character, not enough to make a movie about him.” And perhaps Serebrennikov wanted to avoid the same disenchantment, which is why his film glosses over many of the more troubling incidents that Carrère’s book outlines. Instead, we get a ploddingly literal use of hip signifiers such as a character saying “Take a walk on the wild side” in a movie that actually uses the Lou Reed song as a cue, a repetition of the “Taxi Driver” reference in case anyone missed it first time around, and a pride in the punk soundtrack as an indicator of edginess that doesn’t really gel in an age when you can buy Ramones T-shirts in H&M. Given all its omissions and elisions, and the sense of coolness-cosplay that permeates this noisy but lifeless film, “Limonov” might not be a total misapprehension of the mercurial, charismatic and infuriating Eduard Limonov, but it is at least a mispronunciation.

Limonov, the poet, fits into a long line of miscreant artists, such as writer Vladimir Mayakovsky, who co-wrote the manifesto of the Russian Futurist group (“A Slap in the Face of Public Taste”) in 1912, and Dziga Vertov, the avant-garde director whose Man with a Movie Camera (1929) changed the face of documentary altogether. Serebrennikov’s film draws on both these visionaries, and the result is a film that just won’t behave itself, taking the political rock operatics of his 2018 film Summer to exciting new extremes.

Key to is success is star Ben Whishaw , who did some of the preparation needed for a film like this when he appeared in Todd Haynes’ 2007 Bob Dylan biopic I’m Not There , playing the folk singer as an incarnation of symbolist poet Arthur Rimbaud. That film was surely a touchstone for Serebrennikov, who details Limonov’s life from his years as a young man in Kharkov in the late ’60s to his death, the difference being that, unlike Haynes, Serebrennikov isn’t too fussed about chronology. Which is why we first encounter Limonov in exile in France in the ’70s, where he tells an interviewer that “writers must be thrown out of their native country” but bristles at the thought of identifying as a dissident.

After a sinister chat from the authorities, Limonov leaves for New York in the mid-’70s with Elena, his beautiful model girlfriend whose retro-chic style — Biba meets Andy Warhol’s Factory set — is perfect for the time. The city’s 42 nd Street is reproduced in a hectic, giddily stylized scene that references Taxi Driver and the Village People, promising a new beginning for the stifled artist. But it doesn’t come; as Elena grows apart from him, he simply signs on for welfare (“They pay, and I do f*ck all”). Yet again, he refuses to be called a dissident, pouring particular contempt on author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, saying, “He deserves to be drowned in a bucket of sh*t for his boring depictions of life without fun.”

At this point, we are less than halfway through a life that isn’t so much colorful as kaleidoscopic, eventually taking Limonov back to his homeland where, in an extraordinarily metatextual public debate, he is questioned about the veracity of scenes from his various memoirs that have literally just been portrayed in the film we’re watching. Whishaw keeps it all running smoothly, wrapping this enigma in a riddle with such finesse that when Limonov establishes his own political party in 2010, the crypto-fascist National Bolshevik Party, it’s hard to know what his motivations really are. Is it a serious satirical art statement? Or is it a playful expression of nihilism, something Serebrennikov alludes to in a majestic set-piece featuring the music of short-lived British seditionaries the Sex Pistols.

Thankfully, Serebrennikov doesn’t try to psychoanalyze him, using Russia’s view of the liberal West — “Everything is permitted and nothing matters” — as a way into his gloriously anarchic story. Like Limonov, who fashioned his penname from the Russian word for a hand grenade, it explodes across the screen with wit, irreverence and invention; a slap in the face of public taste indeed.

May 15, 2024 - Russia's war in Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Beijing early Thursday morning local time to begin a two-day state visit to China, according to TASS and Chinese state media CCTV.

Russia is stepping up disinformation campaign against Zelensky, US intelligence shows

From CNN's Alex Marquardt

Russia has stepped up its disinformation efforts to discredit Ukraine’s  President Volodymyr Zelensky  and raise questions about his legitimacy in recent months, US intelligence agencies have observed.

A recently downgraded intelligence assessment shared with CNN says that Russia has seized on various recent events to fuel criticism about Zelensky’s abilities and place as Ukraine’s leader, a senior Biden administration official said in an interview.

Russia has spread disinformation about Zelensky since before the war started but recent intelligence shows “it’s definitely increasing,” the official said.

Russia has highlighted two main areas in this recent disinformation push, the intelligence indicates: Ukraine’s  painful withdrawal  from the eastern city of Avdiivka and the fact that Ukraine postponed its presidential election scheduled for this Spring due to the war.

Wider impacts: The US is more concerned about the impact of the disinformation on countries abroad than on Ukrainians’ confidence in Zelensky, the official said.

“That’s why we’re briefing our allies and partners about this,” the official said. “We want to make sure that this type of Russian disinformation doesn’t take hold and other countries that might not realize, ‘Oh, of course, they can’t hold elections because they’re in a state of martial law as a consequence of Russia’s war.’”

Blinken visits Kyiv and reaffirms US support for Ukraine as fighting in Kharkiv intensifies. Here's the latest

From CNN staff

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken concluded his trip to Kyiv on Wednesday, where he reaffirmed the Biden administration's support for Ukraine as Russia's advances continue in the Kharkiv region of the country.

Earlier Wednesday, Blinken announced $2 billion in foreign military financing for Ukraine and said much-needed ammunition and weapons are being rushed to the front lines. The US State Department acknowledged that the $2 billion in foreign military financing is coming primarily from the recently passed Ukraine Security supplemental and $400 million of it is coming from existing Foreign Military Financing (FMF) that had not previously been allocated to Ukraine.

Blinken also said that the US remains "committed" to helping Ukraine win the war against Russia, but it is not encouraging strikes on Russian territory. Blinken added that Washington strongly supports a Ukrainian peace summit set to take place next month in Switzerland. 

Here are more of the latest headlines:

• Kharkiv and Russian gains: Ukrainian officials suggested further gains by Russian forces on Wednesday in the Kharkiv region, as Moscow continues its push into northeastern Ukraine. The town of Vovchansk, located about 60 kilometers (or about 37 miles) northeast of Ukraine's second-largest city of Kharkiv, is seeing some of the most intense battles in areas near the border, with one police official saying Russian forces are already in the town.
• Zelensky: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will halt all international events scheduled for the coming days, his office announced, as Russian troops push into the northeastern Kharkiv region .
• UNICEF report: At least 1,993 children in Ukraine have been killed or wounded since Moscow launched a full-scale invasion in February 2022, according to the UN's children's agency (UNICEF), reiterating calls for a ceasefire. On average, at least two children lose their lives in Ukraine every day, UNICEF reported on Tuesday.

US not encouraging Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory, Blinken says 

From CNN's Radina Gigova in London 

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the US remains "committed" to helping Ukraine win the war against Russia, but it is not encouraging strikes on Russian territory. 

“We’ve not encouraged or enabled strikes outside Ukraine but ultimately Ukraine has to make decisions for itself about how it's going to conduct this war, a war it's conducting in defense of its freedom, of its sovereignty, of its territorial integrity and we’ll continue to back Ukraine with the equipment it needs to succeed," Blinken said on Wednesday during a joint news conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minster Dmytro Kuleba in Kyiv. 

Blinken also announced that the US will provide an additional $2 billion in foreign military financing for Ukraine, adding "we put this together in a first-of-its-kind defense enterprise fund."

The fund will have three components, Blinken said, including:

• Providing weapons for Ukraine now
• Investing in Ukraine's defense industrial base
• Financing military equipment purchases from other countries

"Of course, everyone's eyes are focused on the situation in the east and northeast, Kharkiv in particular. And so the newest support that I just announced, but particularly the $60 billion supplemental, we know is coming at a critical time," Blinken said. 

Zelensky condemns shooting of Slovakia's pro-Russian prime minister

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called a shooting attack on Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico "appalling."

"We strongly condemn this act of violence against our neighboring partner state's head of government. Every effort should be made to ensure that violence does not become the norm in any country, form, or sphere," Zelensky wrote in a post on X Wednesday.

Fico was shot multiple times, according to a statement on his official Facebook page, adding he is currently in a life-threatening condition.

"We sincerely hope Robert Fico recovers soon and express our solidarity with the people of Slovakia," Zelensky continued.

For context: Fico won a third term as Slovakian prime minister last October after running a campaign that criticized Western support for Ukraine. Ahead of the election, Fico made no secret of his sympathies toward the Kremlin and blamed “Ukrainian Nazis and fascists” for provoking Vladimir Putin into launching the invasion, repeating the false narrative Russia’s president has used to justify his invasion.

Fico, who began his fourth term last October, has shifted Slovakia’s foreign policy toward pro-Russian positions and initiated reforms in criminal law and media regulations, raising concerns about the erosion of the rule of law.

Fico also had pledged an immediate end to Slovak military support for Ukraine and promised to block Ukraine’s NATO ambitions in what would upend Slovakia’s staunch backing for Ukraine.

Ukrainian officials suggest there are more Russian gains amid ongoing push in Kharkiv region 

From CNN's Radina Gigova and Maria Kostenko 

Ukrainian officials suggested further gains by Russian forces on Wednesday in the Kharkiv region, as Moscow continues its push into northeastern Ukraine.

The town of Vovchansk, located about 60 kilometers (or about 37 miles) northeast of Ukraine's second-largest city of Kharkiv, is seeing some of the most intense battles in areas near the border, with one police official saying Russian forces are already in the town. 

"The situation in Vovchansk is extremely difficult. The enemy is taking positions on the streets of Vovchansk," said Oleksii Kharkivskyi, chief patrol officer of the Vovchansk Police Department, urging residents to evacuate. 

Gen. Serhii "Marcel" Melnyk, the commander of the Kharkiv city defense forces, also suggested there have been changes in Ukrainian positions in Vovchansk and a possible tactical withdrawal. 

"Heavy fighting is ongoing. In some areas, near Vovchansk and Lukiantsi, Ukrainian defenders were forced to move to more favorable positions to more effectively use their forces and defend the region from the offensive," Melnyk said Wednesday. 

At least 24 people, including four children, were injured as a result of Russian shelling in various parts of the Kharkiv region on Wednesday, Melnyk said.

The Ukrainian monitoring group DeepStateMap indicated on Wednesday that Russian forces have reached northeastern parts of Vovchansk as they continue to push further south into Ukrainian territory. Russian forces have taken control of more than nine villages near the border in recent days. 

Mandatory evacuations continue from all northern border settlements, according to Roman Semenukha, deputy head of Kharkiv Regional Military Administration. Nearly 8,000 people have been evacuated from these areas since May 10, when Russia launched its push. 

Nearly 2,000 children have been killed or injured since Russia invaded Ukraine, says UNICEF

From CNN's Sana Noor Haq

At least 1,993 children in Ukraine have been killed or wounded since Moscow launched a full-scale invasion in February 2022, according to the UN's children's agency (UNICEF), reiterating calls for a ceasefire.

On average, at least two children lose their lives in Ukraine every day, UNICEF reported on Tuesday.

“Ukraine’s children urgently need safety, stability, access to safe learning, child protection services, and psychosocial support," the agency said in a statement. "More than anything, Ukraine's children need peace."

Mental health impact: The war in Ukraine has "harmfully affected" the mental health and wellbeing of children , UNICEF said, adding that half of teenagers report trouble sleeping. At least one in five suffer intrusive thoughts and flashbacks.

Loss of education: Almost half of children enrolled in school in Ukraine have been robbed of in-person education, according to the report. Nearly one million children across the country cannot access any in-person learning "due to insecurity," UNICEF added.

Earlier this year, CNN reported on Ukrainian children attending newly built bunker schools in the northern city of Kharkiv, as daily Russian strikes rained down overhead.

US secretary of state announces $2 billion in foreign military financing for Ukraine

From CNN's Radina Gigova in London

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Wednesday the provision of additional $2 billion in foreign military financing for Ukraine and said much-needed weapons and ammunition are being rushed to the front lines. 

"Ukraine is facing this renewed brutal Russian onslaught," Blinken said during a news conference in Kyiv, speaking alongside Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, adding he discussed weapons deliveries with Kuleba and President Volodymyr Zelensky. 

"We are rushing ammunition, armored vehicles, missiles, air defenses. Rushing them to get to the front lines to protect soldiers, to protect civilians," Blinken said, pointing out that air defenses are "a top priority."

Blinken also said Washington strongly supports a Ukrainian peace summit set to take place next month in Switzerland.
