BEIJING: Beijing said on Tuesday (Feb 25) that its defence spending was "entirely necessary" after Russian President Vladimir Putin backed a suggestion by United States counterpart Donald Trump that Russia, the US and China cut their defence budgets in half.

Russia has massively ramped up military spending since launching its invasion of Ukraine in 2022 but spending has also increased in China in recent years as tensions persist in the Asia-Pacific region.

WASHINGTON: French President Emmanuel Macron insisted Monday (Feb 25) that peace cannot mean the "surrender" of Ukraine, warning as he met US counterpart Donald Trump against a world in which the "law of the strongest" wins.

Ukraine "fought over these past few years for its independence and for its sovereignty, but also for our collective security," Macron said.
