MOSCOW, July 22. /TASS/. Ukraine is being supplied with weapons ahead of the next round of talks with Moscow; Russia, China, and Iran align stances ahead of talks with the Eurotroika; and Druze still face threats in Syria. These stories topped Tuesday's headlines across Russia.

Serious differences on the political settlement of the crisis remain between Russia and Ukraine, Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s ambassador-at-large in charge of overseeing the Kiev regime’s crimes, told Izvestia. Vladimir Zelensky announced that the next stage of negotiations will be held in Turkey on July 23. Earlier, the US set a 50-day deadline for the end of the Ukraine conflict. That said, on July 21, the Kiev regime was promised a new package of weapons: following a Ramstein-format meeting, Western countries committed to providing additional funds to purchase drones and air defense means. On the same day, Paris announced the construction of a drone production plant in Ukraine.

"During the talks, we have at least two tracks - the humanitarian and the political one. As for the political track which involves radical steps, there are rather serious differences on both sides," Miroshnik told Izvestia. "That said, humanitarian programs are being implemented by everyone, they have been almost completed. The part that was agreed upon is being implemented," he added.
