In Gallup’s most recent poll of Ukraine — conducted in early July — 69% say they favor a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible, compared with 24% who support continuing to fight until victory.

This marks a nearly complete reversal from public opinion in 2022, when 73% favored Ukraine fighting until victory and 22% preferred that Ukraine seek a negotiated end as soon as possible.

Exports climbed 7.2% in July in U.S. dollar terms from a year earlier, exceeding Reuters-polled economists’ estimates of a 5.4% rise.

On a year-to-date basis, China’s overall exports jumped 6.1% from a year earlier, while imports fell 2.7%.

July’s export declines were largely offset by shipments diverted to alternative markets such as Southeast Asia, which increased 16.6%, while imports fell 5.8% from a year earlier. China’s exports to the European Union also rose 9.2% while imports fell 1.6%.

Zelensky's statement comes shortly after US President Donald Trump hailed a meeting between his special envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin as "highly productive".
