Russia said on Sunday that it had struck Ukrainian energy facilities and other military targets, while Ukraine reported attacks on Russian troop concentrations and military warehouses.
Russia's Defense Ministry said on Sunday that over the past 24 hours, Russian forces had taken control of two settlements and carried out strikes on energy and transport infrastructure supporting Ukrainian troops, as well as temporary deployment sites of Ukrainian forces and foreign mercenaries.
Russian air defense units intercepted 27 HIMARS rockets, three Neptune long-range missiles and 42 fixed-wing drones launched by Ukrainian forces.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on the same day that as of Sunday afternoon, 123 combat engagements had taken place along the front lines, with most of the fighting concentrated in the Pokrovsk direction. Ukrainian forces struck Russian troops assembly areas, military depots and drone control centers on Friday and Saturday.
On diplomatic developments, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview on Sunday that Russia has repeatedly stated that it has no plans to attack Europe, but some European leaders are deliberately escalating tensions.
Lavrov warned that if European countries plan to launch a war and begin attacking Russia, it would respond using all military means.
On the same day, the Russian Investigative Committee announced that a suspect involved in the attack on Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseyev has been extradited to Russia after being detained in Dubai, the UAE.
The committee identified the suspect as a Russian citizen allegedly acting on instructions from Ukrainian intelligence. According to investigators, the suspect arrived in Moscow last December to prepare for the hit and fled to the UAE hours after the attack occurred. A second suspect has been arrested in Moscow, while a third is believed to have fled to Ukraine.
Ukrinform news agency reported on Saturday that Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha denied any Ukrainian involvement in the attack on the Russian Defense Ministry lieutenant general in Moscow.
The Russian Investigative Committee said on Friday that Vladimir Alekseyev was shot earlier that day. Russian media reported that Alekseyev has undergone surgery and is not in life-threatening condition.
Russia, Ukraine renew battle reports
More of China's A-share listed companies have disclosed major contract wins and full order books at the beginning of 2026, underscoring a solid start in the year and sending positive signals of a steady recovery and strong endogenous momentum in the country's economy.
Since the start of the year, more than 100 listed companies have announced major bid wins or contract signings, according to financial data company Wind data.
The newly secured orders span a wide range of sectors, from large-scale domestic infrastructure projects to international market cooperation, featuring sizable volumes and a diversified structure.
These developments have laid a sound foundation for corporate operations throughout the year while reinforcing confidence in China's economic recovery.
"Contracts worth over one billion yuan (around 144 million U.S. dollars) have been concentrated mainly in the infrastructure sector. Since the beginning of this year, listed companies have secured major project orders totaling more than 43 billion yuan (around 6.2 billion U.S. dollars). The launch of these projects has brought direct business support for enterprises while boosting market confidence in economic recovery, further vitalizing the industrial chain," said Tian Lihui, dean of the Institute of Finance and Development at Nankai University.
Infrastructure investment is also increasingly integrated with national strategies such as new energy and smart cities, with traditional infrastructure showing a clear trend toward intelligent and green upgrading.
In the ecological and environmental protection sector, several new projects worth hundreds of millions of yuan have been initiated, covering sanitation services, water conservation and waste treatment, highlighting green infrastructure as a new growth driver.
And a number of listed companies reported that overseas orders have significantly supported earnings growth.
With improving business performance, companies are becoming more proactive in disclosing order information, particularly during earnings forecast periods, to convey positive signals to the market.
Wind data show that more than 750 listed companies voluntarily disclosed order developments in 2025, accounting for 13.75 percent of the total.
Nearly 60 percent of companies with full orders are expected to see year-on-year net profit growth or significantly narrowed losses in 2025, with growth momentum likely to sustain into 2026.
Among them, 16 companies are projected to maintain net profit growth of over 10 percent from 2025 to 2027.
"The trend significantly reflects the longer-term vision of corporate performance, with the market now able to assess prospects over one or even two years rather than just a single quarter as before," said Zhang Yusheng, chief strategy analyst at Everbright Securities.
Industry observers believe that, amid sustained improvement in performance, the proactive disclosure of orders by listed companies helps stabilize market expectations, boost investor confidence and highlight growth potential, guiding capital toward high-quality enterprises.
