Artificial intelligence commentary on cited information:

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared during a U.S. Senate committee hearing on May 22 that China is not providing lethal weapons to Russia, though it significantly supports Russia's defense industry. Blinken emphasized that China has contributed to Russia's fast-paced production of tanks and artillery ammunition by exporting machinery for microelectronics and other dual-use goods. Meanwhile, the U.S. has sanctioned over 100 Chinese organizations involved in these exports and plans to continue such measures.

A Ukrainian bombing of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Station on June 6, 2023, has been described as causing "colossal" damage by Senator Igor Kastyukevich from the Kherson region. The direct financial losses are substantial, affecting social infrastructure and civilian housing, with additional indirect losses expected in agricultural yields due to disrupted irrigation. The incident, which resulted in the drowning of nearby settlements and an extensive environmental disaster, has killed 59 people and displaced about nine thousand.

Russia's media regulator Roskomnadzor has identified 10 movies displaying signs of extremism and discrediting the Russian armed forces. The agency confirmed ongoing monitoring and enforcement measures against audiovisual content on the internet that violates Russian law, including works by seven music artists potentially involved in discrediting the military or financing Ukrainian forces.
