8 Important Things You Should Know Before Tibet Tours

After operating Tibet tours for over 10 years, we have already achieved a deep understanding about What Tibet has to offer, what our customers want to see and experience most, what are the major concerns during our customers’ trip. Here we list out the most frequently asked questions that our former customers about tour planning, travel documents, itinerary, hotel, booking, dinning. You are also welcomed to submit your question to us, our travel experts are always ready to help.

Tibet Tourism Bureau stipulates that all foreign tourists, including Taiwanese, are not allowed to travel Tibet independently. You are only permitted to travel to Tibet with a China travel agency which will arrange travel services for you, including creating itinerary, tour guide, driver and vehicle, permit application, etc. This doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a free and relaxing trip in Tibet. Actually, most areas in Tibet are open for foreign travelers, and can be visited with a tour, private tour or group tour, with China travel agency.

To travel in Tibet, all Non-Chinese passport holders need to have a Tibet Travel Permit which can only be applied for by China travel agencies like Tibet Discovery with Tibet Tourism Bureau in Lhasa. You must obtain it before your tour starting. The permit will be checked when you board your flight/train to Tibet.

Traveling with Tibet Discovery, you don't have to worry about the complicated procedures of Tibet Travel Permit application. All you have to do is to confirm a tour package with us and send us your passport and Chinese via copies at least 15~20 days in advance before your tour, we will take care of all the rest things. Once the permit is issued by Tibet Tourism Bureau, we will deliver to you at the appointed address in China's other cities, such as your hotel, local travel agency, etc. Besides Tibet Travel Permit, you also need to have a Chinese visa and valid passport to support your Tibet trip.

Generally speaking, months from May to October are recommended. Other months are usually very cold, and possible have heavy snow. During November to April of next year, Namtso Lake is mostly frozen, and not suitable for travel. If you only visit Lhasa, Gyantse and Shigatse and other cities with lower altitude, you can take a trip all year around.

Having an average altitude of about 4500 meters (14,750 ft), Tibet is the highest land in the world. The altitude of the capital city Lhasa is 3650m (12,000 ft). Most of attractions in Tibet are located over 3700 meters above the sea level. The elevations of some higher places, such as EBC, Namtso Lake, Yamdrok Lake, Mount Kailash (trek) may reach to more than 4500 meters between 5700 meters.

You may suffer a bit from High Altitude Sickness in the beginning days of your Tibet trip if you haven’t had rich high plateau travel experience. But don’t worry too much, the high altitude can be acclimatized usually in 2~3 days. Our suggestion is to take a physical examination and get suggestions from your doctor, and also bring some medicines to prevent from High Altitude Sickness before your trip. While in Tibet, you should keep warm all the time, avoid strenuous activities, drink more water and eat more vegetables and carbohydrates. You’d better not take showers during the first two days after your arrival at Tibet. If you don’t feel well, get help from your tour guide or go to the hospital without any delay.

Currently common tourist can only get to Tibet from China cities or Nepal (Indian passports pilgrims can enter Tibet from specific border ports).

Travel from China Cities to Tibet

Take a domestic flight from other cities like Chengdu, Beijing, Xian, Xining, Kunming, etc. or an international flight from Kathmandu, or take a train from China's other cities, like Chengdu, Xian, Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xining, Lanzhou, etc.

Travel from Nepal to Tibet

Take a flight from Kathmandu Tribuvan International Airport to Lhasa, or enter Tibet from Gyirong Port at Nepal-China border. This port is about 89km from Kathmandu, about 820km from Lhasa, and about 360km from Mount Everest (Tibet Side). To travel from Nepal to Tibet, you have to apply for a Group Visa in Kathmandu.

A large backpack and a smaller one are recommended (the smaller one can be used for daily activities). Also bring the necessary medicine you need. Other stuffs like sunglasses, snow glasses, hats, lip balm, sun block are recommended.

As for wearing, you are suggested to dress in layers (both thin and thick jackets). Down jacket is necessary in Spring (Feb~May) and Autumn (Sept~Nov). A pair of durable and comfortable shoes is necessary.

1) You are not allowed to take photos inside the chapels of the monasteries, but photography of the architecture is allowed; 2) You should take off your hat and sunglasses to show respect when you entering a monastery. Wearing shorts and exposing shoulders are disrespectful; 3) Try to walk and talk quietly to not disturb the living and study of the monks in the monasteries.

We offer both private customizable Tibet tours and fix-departure group tours. What are the differences?

Private tours - firstly, you have the flexibility to arrange the group activities according to your personal interests; secondly, you can also travel at a slower and comfortable pace; thirdly, you will have your own private local tour guide, private vehicle and private driver for your group.

Tibet Tours & Vacations

Lonely peaks, Buddhist monasteries and welcoming people. Tibet is a place unlike any other.

Centuries of isolation have lent the kingdom of Tibet a deep sense of spirituality and mysticism. Once upon a time you could only get there after conquering treacherous terrain and fierce warrior monks, but now – despite the complex political situation – Tibet’s open for travelers to explore. Surround yourself with smoke, incense and the murmuring of the faithful in endless temples and monasteries and experience giddy Everest views. Cross high-altitude passes, twist through towering peaks past plodding yaks, and discover contemporary Tibetan life – a mix of pilgrims and pop music, monks and mobile phones.

Tibet: Beijing to Kathmandu Overland

This trip takes you from the hustle and bustle of Beijing to the serene beauty of the Tibetan Plateau! So much variety, the train ride was a highlight, getting to talk to locals and share stories and snacks was a truly incredible experience. Breathing the fresh mountain air and taking in the scenery, I will never forget it. Our Tibetan leader was the best part of our trip, wildly knowledgeable and funny to boot. I would do this trip again in an heartbeat.

Glimpses of Nepal and Tibet Tour 13 Days

Nepal and Tibet Overland Tour with Peregrine Treks and Tours was an experience of a lifetime. The rich cultural heritage of Kathmandu, the natural splendor of Pokhara, and the spiritual grandeur of Potala Palace in Tibet were profoundly captivating. Walking through Barkhor Street and exploring the ancient monasteries like Drepung and Sera offered a deep dive into Tibetan culture. The awe-inspiring visit to Everest Base Camp was the highlight, offering breathtaking views and a sense of unparalleled achievement. Throughout, the expertise and hospitality of Pradip Karki and his team elevated the entire journey, making it unforgettable.

08 days Tour from Lhasa to Everest Base Camp and drive to Kathmandu via Kerung

I have toured twice with this company in 2010 and 2016 and most important the guides are always concerned about your well being and health. I was never left alone and this is important when dealing with issues such as high altitude and felt comfortable with the guides. I have recommended this tour company to friends

8 Days Lhasa to Everest Base Camp Small Group Tour: marvel at Mt.Everest real close

Starting from the beginning, I was told by Tibet Vista agent, Leon, that they would be able to send my Tibet Visa to my hotel in Beijing as I was in transit there. I checked with Leon a month before the trip to ensure that the visa was all settled and Leon assured me that everything is going smoothly. However, just a day before my departure to Lhasa, Leon told me that the hotel did not accept the visa parcel. Leon was not apologetic at all and in his words: "Your hotel did not accept.", in which pushes the blame on me for booking a hotel that did not accept the visa parcel. As a reputable company such as Tibet Vista, having many customers for years, I would have been certain that they would check with the hotel beforehand that a visa parcel would be delivered to them. In the end, I had to pay extra USD$50 for Tibet Vista to send their staff to pass me the visa. This felt like it was all planned for. As for the trip, it was mediocre in terms of guide service. We were not told about what to prepare for, both in terms of weather and itinerary, as some of us had surprisingly different itineraries that were given to us. The guide explained about the place in-depth, but under the hot sun instead of moving us to any shade to do this. The guide did not tell that everyone was given a can of oxygen and thus, I only got mine at Mount Everest Base Camp itself! Thankfully, I did not have altitude sickness. We did not go to the cultural show or the tea house as planned in the itinerary. At Shigatse, I almost had to share a room with another solo traveller, both of us actually paid extra USD$150 for single room supplement. Thankfully, we were persistent in getting our own rooms, and were given single rooms after scuffling. At the Everest Base Camp, we were told by the tour guide that if we arrived first, we would be able to stay in the guesthouse instead of tents. However, we were put into the tents and another group that arrived much later got the guesthouse. I am not too sure because another of a fellow traveller in my group said that she paid extra supplement to get to stay in the guesthouse instead of the tents. The guide service was really basic and it sort of spoiled the rather pleasant trip.

13 Days Tibet Lhasa to Kathmandu overland tour with Mt. Kailash and Lake Manasarova

We are a family of 3 who have just spent a fabulous 15 days in Tibet with Tibet Vista. From the moment that we were picked up at the airport we felt looked after and everything was very well organised throughout the 15 days. Our tour guide Sonam was full of enthusiasm , knowledge and energy. We learnt so much about Tibetan culture snd during our monastery and temple tours Sonam provided us with lots of information. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he always had a smile on his face. He was very helpful in all the hotels and restaurants. Our driver Mr Norbu was a very safe driver and again nothing was too much trouble for him on the long journeys. We would thoroughly recommend Tibet Vista. Very professional! The Willett family

8 Days Lhasa to Mt. Everest Group Tour

We have just returned and would like to thank you for the wonderful tour we had. We thoroughly enjoyed it and must compliment you on your tour guide and driver. They went out of their way to help us. In August, my wife and I took a 6 day customized tour from Lhasa to Shigatse, organised by Great Tibet Tour. Catherine, our tour consultant, provided a very prompt response to all our initial queries and went to great pains to ensure that the tour arrangements and hotels were exactly what we wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The hotel in Lhasa was very comfortable with great service. We enjoyed the company and learnt a lot about Tibet’s past and present, which was our goal. In short, we can recommend to anyone who might be considering using their services.

Top Ten Tips for Traveling in Tibet

To embark on a journey to Tibet, it is essential to possess Tibet Travel Permits along with a Chinese Visa. The permits are specifically tailored to the destinations that the tourists intend to explore, and hence, the requirements may differ accordingly.

The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is the sole railway connecting Tibet to other Chinese cities. It spans a distance of 2,000 kilometres, commencing from Xining to Lhasa, Shigatse and Nyingchi.

Foreign tourists visiting China need to restrict their travel time. Therefore, opting for air travel to Tibet is a perfect alternative as it is more convenient and time-efficient than other modes of transportation.

The road network in the Tibet Autonomous Region now spans a total distance of 22,400 kilometers. Nevertheless, the average coverage stands at just 1.8 kilometers of highways for every hundred square kilometers of land area.

Tibetan cuisine is a diverse culinary tradition characterized by a variety of foods and beverages. It prominently features meat and dairy products as its primary components, while vegetables are relatively scarce. This unique culinary profile reflects the specialization of Tibetan cuisine.

Here are some frequently asked questions regarding flights, trains, permits, and travel in Tibet, thoughtfully curated for your convenience. If you have any additional inquiries, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Tibet’s weather is distinctive due to the high altitude of the Tibetan plateau, which averages over 4,000 meters above sea level. It is characterized by its harshness, featuring thin air and intense UV radiation.

Accommodations in Tibet range from luxurious five-star hotels to humble guesthouses managed by locals. While larger cities like Lhasa provide a diverse range of lodging choices, remote areas offer limited options with basic amenities.

The Tibetan Cartography, available in both English and Mandarin, comprises a comprehensive collection of maps carefully chosen to facilitate your in-depth exploration of the mysterious landscapes in the Tibetan region.

The Ultimate Tibet Travel guide

Tibet is a unique and enchanting travel destination that offers stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and spiritual experiences. From the majestic Mount Everest to the sacred Potala Palace in Lhasa, there is no shortage of awe-inspiring sights to explore in Tibet.

However, traveling to Tibet requires proper preparation and knowledge due to its unique geographical and cultural diversity. It is important to understand that Tibet is an autonomous region of China and has specific travel regulations in place. Obtaining the necessary permits, such as the Tibet Travel Permit, is essential before entering Tibet.

In addition to permits, it is crucial to acclimatize to the high altitude and take precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip. Altitude sickness can be a concern for travelers, so it is recommended to gradually ascend to higher altitudes and allow time for acclimatization. It is also important to be aware of the weather conditions and pack accordingly, as Tibet experiences extreme temperature variations throughout the year.

Furthermore, understanding and respecting Tibetan culture and customs is essential when visiting this spiritual land. Tibet has a deeply rooted Buddhist tradition, and travelers should be mindful of local customs, dress modestly, and show respect when visiting monasteries and sacred sites.

Traveling to Tibet can be a transformative experience, but it requires proper preparation and knowledge. By being well-informed about regulations, acclimatization measures, and cultural etiquette, travelers can ensure a memorable and respectful journey in this extraordinary destination.

Challenges to Travel to Tibet

Traveling to Tibet presents unique challenges that travelers should be aware of. One of the main challenges is altitude sickness, which can have a significant impact on travelers. Tibet is known for its high altitude, with many areas exceeding 4,000 meters above sea level. This can lead to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and shortness of breath. It is important for travelers to acclimatize properly by spending a few days in lower-altitude areas before ascending to higher altitudes.

Another challenge is the limited infrastructure and resources in remote areas of Tibet. While major cities like Lhasa have modern facilities, more remote areas may have limited access to amenities such as electricity, clean water, and food. Travelers should be prepared for basic living conditions and carry essential supplies like food, water, and medication.

Cultural and religious considerations are also important when traveling to Tibet. Tibet has a rich Buddhist heritage, and it is important to respect the local customs and traditions. Visitors should dress modestly, avoid taking photographs in sensitive areas, and be mindful of religious practices and rituals.

Despite these challenges, traveling to Tibet can be a rewarding and unforgettable experience. The stunning natural landscapes, vibrant culture, and spiritual atmosphere make it a destination like no other. With proper planning, preparation, and respect for the local culture, travelers can navigate the unique challenges and have a memorable journey in Tibet.

How to avoid altitude sickness?

Preparing physically and mentally for a trip, especially if it involves high altitudes , is crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience. Here are a few tips to help with acclimatization to high altitudes:

First, it is important to gradually ascend to higher altitudes. This allows your body to adjust slowly to the decrease in oxygen levels. If possible, spend a few days at intermediate altitudes before reaching your final destination.

Staying hydrated is also essential. Drinking plenty of water helps to prevent altitude sickness and aids in acclimatization. It is recommended to drink at least 3-4 liters of water per day while at high altitudes.

Taking it easy and allowing yourself time to rest is another important aspect of acclimatization. Avoid overexertion and listen to your body. If you start feeling symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headaches, dizziness, or nausea, it is crucial to descend to a lower altitude until you feel better.

In terms of physical preparation, it is advisable to have a good level of fitness before embarking on a trip to high altitudes. Regular cardiovascular exercise, such as hiking or running, can help improve your endurance and oxygen uptake. Additionally, incorporating strength training exercises that target the muscles used in hiking or trekking, such as your legs and core, can be beneficial.

Lastly, mental preparation is just as important as physical preparation. High-altitude trips can be physically challenging and mentally demanding. It is important to have a positive mindset, be mentally prepared for physical exertion, and understand the potential risks and challenges that come with high-altitude travel.

By following these tips and adequately preparing yourself both physically and mentally, you can increase your chances of having a safe and enjoyable trip to high altitudes.

Travel Permits required during Tibet travel

Obtaining necessary permits and documents is of utmost importance when it comes to travel, especially in certain areas or for specific activities. One such example is the Tibet Travel Permit , which is required for foreign tourists to enter Tibet. This permit is issued by the Tibet Tourism Bureau and is necessary in addition to a Chinese visa.

To obtain the Tibet Travel Permit, travelers must be part of an organized tour group and have their itinerary planned by a registered travel agency. They must also provide a copy of their passport and Chinese visa, as well as provide information about their occupation and purpose of visit. It is crucial to obtain this permit before entering Tibet, as failure to do so can result in denial of entry.

In addition to the Tibet Travel Permit, there may be other permits and documents required for specific areas or activities. For example, certain areas or national parks may require special permits for entry or activities such as trekking or wildlife photography. These permits are often issued by local authorities or park management and may require additional documentation such as proof of insurance or specific qualifications.

It is important to research and understand the specific requirements for the area or activity you plan to engage in and ensure that you obtain all necessary permits and documents in advance. Failure to do so can result in penalties, fines, or even legal consequences. Additionally, obtaining the necessary permits and documents not only ensures compliance with local regulations but also helps protect the environment, cultural heritage, and overall safety of the area.

Things to pack for a trip to Tibet

When preparing for a trip to Tibet, it is important to pack the right essentials to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience. One of the first things to consider is clothing and gear suitable for varying weather conditions.

Tibet has a high altitude and can experience extreme temperature changes throughout the day. It is recommended to pack layers of clothing that can be easily added or removed as needed. This includes warm jackets, sweaters, long-sleeved shirts, and thermal undergarments. Additionally, it is important to bring sturdy walking shoes or boots for exploring the rugged terrain.

Another crucial aspect of packing for a trip to Tibet is medications and personal items. Travelers should make sure to pack any necessary prescription medications, as well as basic first aid supplies such as band-aids, pain relievers, and altitude sickness medication. It is also advisable to bring personal toiletries, including sunscreen, lip balm, and moisturizer, as the high altitude and strong sun can cause dryness and dehydration.

When packing for a trip to Tibet, it is important to consider the varying weather conditions and pack appropriate clothing and gear. Additionally, bringing necessary medications and personal items will ensure a comfortable and safe journey.

Responsible Tibet travel

When traveling to a new destination, it is important to understand and respect the local customs and traditions. This is especially true when visiting places with rich cultural heritage, such as Tibet. In Tibetan culture, there are certain etiquette and behavior expectations that visitors should be aware of.

Firstly, it is important to dress modestly and respectfully when visiting Tibetan communities. This means avoiding revealing or provocative clothing, and instead opting for more conservative attire. It is also customary to remove your shoes before entering someone’s home or a religious site, so be prepared to do so.

Additionally, showing respect for elders and authority figures is highly valued in Tibetan culture. It is considered polite to greet people with a slight bow or nod of the head and to use formal titles when addressing individuals of higher social status. Taking the time to learn a few basic greetings and phrases in the local language will also be greatly appreciated.

When visiting religious sites in Tibet, it is crucial to be mindful of their significance and purpose. Many of these sites hold deep spiritual meaning for the local community, so it is important to behave respectfully. This includes refraining from loud or disruptive behavior and avoiding any actions that may be considered disrespectful or sacrilegious.

Participating in local customs and practices can also be a meaningful way to show respect for Tibetan culture. For example, joining in traditional dances or ceremonies, or taking part in Buddhist rituals, can be a way to connect with the local community and gain a deeper understanding of their traditions.

By understanding and respecting the local customs and traditions in Tibet, visitors can have a more meaningful and respectful experience, while also contributing to the preservation and appreciation of this unique cultural heritage.

What to expect with transportation and accommodations in Tibet?

When it comes to navigating transportation in Tibet, there are a few options available. One popular choice is to hire a private driver or join a guided tour. This allows you to have a dedicated vehicle and driver who can take you to various destinations in Tibet . It is a convenient option, especially if you are not familiar with the area or prefer to have a local guide. Another option is to use public transportation, such as buses or trains.

However, it is important to note that transportation in Tibet can be challenging due to the high altitude and rugged terrain. It is recommended to plan your itinerary in advance and consider acclimatization time.

In terms of accommodations in Tibet, there are various options to choose from. The most common are hotels and guesthouses, which can be found in major cities and tourist areas. These range from budget accommodations to luxury hotels, depending on your preferences and budget. It is advisable to book in advance, especially during peak travel seasons, as availability may be limited.

If you prefer a more immersive experience, you can also consider staying in traditional Tibetan homes or monasteries. This allows you to get a glimpse of the local culture and way of life. However, these accommodations may have basic facilities and amenities, so it is important to be prepared for a more rustic experience.

Camping is another option for those who enjoy outdoor adventures. There are designated camping areas in national parks and trekking routes, but it is important to obtain the necessary permits and follow responsible camping practices. Overall, Tibet offers a range of accommodation options to suit different preferences and budgets.

Is Tibet safe to travel?

When going on a trip, it’s important to prioritize your safety and health. Here are some tips to help you stay safe and healthy during your travels.

One common issue that travelers may face is altitude sickness, especially when visiting high-altitude destinations. To prevent altitude sickness, it’s recommended to acclimatize slowly by gradually ascending to higher altitudes. Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol and caffeine, and consider taking medication such as acetazolamide as advised by a healthcare professional. If you do experience symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or nausea, rest and descend to a lower altitude until you feel better.

Food and water safety is another important aspect of staying healthy during your trip. Be cautious about where and what you eat. Stick to reputable establishments and avoid street food that may not have been prepared hygienically. Drink bottled water or use water purification methods such as boiling or using water purifying tablets. Additionally, be mindful of the cleanliness of utensils and wash your hands frequently with soap or hand sanitizer.

In general, it’s a good idea to pack a basic first-aid kit with essential items such as band-aids, pain relievers, antiseptic wipes, and any necessary prescription medications. It’s also important to have travel insurance that covers medical emergencies.

Lastly, listen to your body and take breaks when needed. Traveling can be exhausting, so make sure to get enough rest and sleep. Stay active and incorporate exercise into your daily routine to keep your body healthy and fit.

By following these tips and taking necessary precautions, you can have a safe and healthy trip. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional or travel advisor for specific advice based on your destination and individual health needs.

House passes $95.3B aid package for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan

In the end, the four votes reflected bipartisan support for paying the price of continued U.S. engagement abroad, despite vocal misgivings about it from some on the right and others on the left. 

The most heated debate came over aid to Ukraine, with Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., allowing votes on three amendments to cut funding in that package, including the proposal from his chief GOP critic. Greene, who is backing a motion to oust the speaker, gave voice during Saturday’s floor debate to the populist and isolationist strain in the GOP.

“[Americans] don’t support a business model built on blood and murder and war in foreign countries while this very government does nothing to secure our borders,” she said. “America last. That’s all this is. Every single day, America last.”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., pushed back against Greene and other critics of the long-stalled package.

“For months, the national security priorities of the American people have been obstructed by pro-Putin extremists determined to let Russia win,” Jeffries said. “A bipartisan coalition of Democrats and Republicans has risen up to work together and ensure that we are getting the national security legislation important to the American people over the finish line.”

Reflecting the deep divisions among their constituents — 61 percent of Republicans in a CBS-YouGov poll earlier this month said they opposed more aid to Ukraine — House GOP lawmakers rejected the package by a margin of 101-112, with one voting present.

Greene’s amendment was defeated on a 71-351 vote; all 71 votes in favor were Republicans, with 139 GOP lawmakers opposed.

In one key difference from the Senate-passed bill, over $9 billion in economic aid to Ukraine is structured as a loan, though the president could waive the repayment requirement unless Congress votes to block such waivers. That wasn’t enough to tamp down criticism from some in the House GOP.

An amendment from Ukrainian-born Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., would have struck economic and budgetary support for Ukraine while preventing the president from drawing down billions of dollars worth of additional U.S. weapons stocks to send to Kyiv. It was defeated on a 105-319 vote, with Republicans breaking almost evenly for and against that amendment.

Another amendment, from Kat Cammack, R-Fla., to strip $10.5 billion in nonmilitary assistance to Ukraine, drew stronger GOP support with 154 votes in favor and only 59 opposed, but it still fell on a 154-272 vote.

Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said the House’s decisions Saturday echoed those that confronted America and Europe ahead of World War II. 

“Our adversaries are watching us here today, and history will judge us on our actions here today,” McCaul said. “So as we deliberate on this vote, you have to ask yourself: Am I Chamberlain or am I Churchill?”

Democrats waved Ukrainian flags in the chamber as the vote took place and erupted with applause on passage, drawing a scolding from the chair for not maintaining decorum.

Israel, Gaza aid debate

Under the rule for floor debate, there were no amendments allowed on the Israel aid bill. 

A few critics came to the floor to discuss it however, such as Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., who took issue with the nearly $9.2 billion in humanitarian aid that he said would be delivered to Palestinians in Gaza. 

“Why would we knowingly be sending money into the hands of Hamas in any bill?” Clyde said during debate.

The bill would impose strict requirements on the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development to certify that none of the humanitarian aid funds are diverted to Hamas. The bill also would prevent any of the money from being transferred to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, where staffers have been accused of collaborating with Hamas in the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.

Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, countered that he received information from the Biden administration on its intent for that piece of the package, which is not specified in the text of the bill. The administration told Sherman that in addition to aiding Gazans, the money would also be distributed to assist with humanitarian crises in Haiti, Sudan, Ethiopia, Congo, Armenia and Myanmar.

“This bill will save hundreds of thousands, I believe millions of lives,” Sherman said.

The Israel package includes nearly $10 billion for developing or producing U.S. or Israeli-made weapons, including anti-missile and anti-rocket systems, as well as billions of dollars more to replenish U.S. stocks that have been drawn down to help Israel and to bankroll U.S. military operations in the region. 

On the left, Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., expressed concern over Israel’s conduct of the war under the Netanyahu government. “If he’s not listening to us on matters of international security, how can he be trusted with more offensive weapons?” Pocan said.

On final passage of the Israel-focused bill, 37 Democrats and 21 Republicans opposed it.

The $8.1 billion Indo-Pacific bill, meanwhile, would include nearly $4 billion in security assistance to Taiwan and other regional allies, along with $1.9 billion to replenish U.S. stocks that have been reduced to help Asian allies, plus $3.3 billion for submarine infrastructure and more.  One amendment adopted during debate would express support for ensuring security assistance in the bill gets to the Philippines.

On the separate miscellaneous package of sanctions and other related measures, two amendments were adopted.

One amendment, by Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., adopted by voice vote, would mandate new details in the Pentagon’s annual report on China’s military power.

The other is from Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, who faces a potentially tight reelection battle this fall. Nunn’s amendment would require the Treasury Department to provide Congress information about the wealth of government officials and others in Iran who are under U.S. sanctions. The vote was 249-167 on the amendment from Nunn, whose race Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rates Tilt Republican.

Ukraine-Russia war live: Kyiv forced to pull back US tanks as Moscow sends nuclear warheads to Belarus

LIVE – Updated at 09:36

Ukraine has withdrawn its American-made Abrams battle tanks from the frontline over concerns they can be easily detected and targeted by Russian drones.

Kyiv has lost five of the 31 Abrams tanks given to it by the US to Russian attacks since October last year. Ukraine had engaged in a months-long campaign arguing that the tanks, which cost about $10m apiece, were vital to its ability to breach Russian lines.

The US is expected to announce that it will provide another $6bn in long-term military aid to Ukraine, US officials said, adding that it will include much sought after munitions for Patriot air defence systems.

Elsewhere, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko claimed “several dozen” Russian tactical nuclear weapons had been deployed in Belarus , Russia ’s Tass news agency said, under an agreement jointly announced last year with Vladimir Putin .

It came as the Belarusian security service claimed to have thwarted an attack on the capital Minsk by drones launched from Nato-member Lithuania , which denied taking any hostile action.

Russia has deployed nuclear warheads in Belarus, Minsk says

At least seven wounded in russian air attack on kharkiv, governor says, spain to send patriot missiles to ukraine - report.

Spain will send a small number of Patriot missiles to Ukraine, El Pais newspaper reported on Friday, in response to pressure from EU and NATO allies to send more military aid to Kyiv.

With Russia having stepped up air attacks on Ukraine, EU governments have been urged to supply more protective systems to Kyiv, especially countries like Greece and Spain that have such arms in their arsenal.

Greece said on Thursday it would not be able to provide air defence systems to Ukraine.

El Pais , quoting unidentified government sources, said on Friday that Spain had ruled out delivering Patriot anti-aircraft launchers but it would supply the Ukrainian military with missiles for the system.

"The transfer of a small number of missiles has come after the defence ministry refused to hand over to Ukraine the battery it has had deployed since 2013 on the Turkish-Syrian border," El Pais said.

"It will be a very limited number, as the Spanish war reserve is around 50 units and interceptors are very expensive."

The defence ministry did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the report but on Thursday a Spanish diplomatic told foreign reporters that Madrid needed to step up its commitment to Ukraine.

Greece rules out air defence systems to Ukraine, prime minister says

Prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Greece can not offer air defence systems like Patriots or S-300 to Ukraine responding to pressure from EU and NATO allies to send more military aid to Kyiv.

With Russia having stepped up air attacks on Ukraine, EU governments are under pressure to supply more protective systems to Kyiv especially countries like Greece and Spain that have such systems in their arsenal.

"Greece is not going to send S-300 or Patriot to Ukraine," Mitsotakis said in an interview in Skai TV late on Thursday.

European Union ministers said on Monday they were looking urgently at how to provide more air defences to Ukraine but they stopped short of concrete pledges of the Patriot systems that Kyiv values most.

"We were asked and we explained why we cannot do it," Mitsotakis said adding that these systems are "critical to our deterrent capability."

Defence is a very sensitive issue for Athens given the tensions with Turkey, especially for a conservative government.

Greece has sent to Ukraine in the past thousands of rockets, explosives, IVFs vehicles, high explosive incendiaries, ammunition and anti-tank rockets.

The US will host on Friday a virtual meeting of Ukraine international aid donors, days after Congress emerged from a half-year of deadlock to approve a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine.

Russia responds to ‘dangerous’ Polish discussion of hosting US nuclear weapons

Russia yesterday said that Poland was playing a “very dangerous game” by considering the possibility of hosting US nuclear weapons.

Polish president Andrzej Duda earlier said he had invited prime minister Donald Tusk for talks on 1 May about the possibility of nuclear weapons from Nato states being deployed in Poland.

Mr Duda has reiterated his position that Poland would be ready for such a possibility, prompting Mr Tusk to say he would like a clarification from the president.

Russian state news agency RIA quoted deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying that such discussions were provocative.

“If they follow the path of further escalation - and this is how the discussions can be assessed, these so far verbal games with nuclear weapons - then a further round of tension will occur. And in general, this game is very dangerous, its consequences may be hard to predict,” he said.

Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said any US nuclear missiles in Poland could become targets in the event of a Russia-Nato war.

“It is not difficult to assume that if American nuclear weapons appear on Polish territory, the corresponding objects will immediately join the list of legitimate targets for destruction in the case of direct military conflict with Nato,” she told reporters.

A US citizen arrested on drug charges in Moscow amid soaring Russia-US tensions appeared in court yesterday and had his case adjourned until mid-May.

Robert Woodland is facing charges of trafficking large amounts of illegal drugs as part of an organized group — a criminal offence punishable by up to 20 years in prison. He was remanded into custody in January, and the trial began in the Ostankino District Court in late March.

“Our position is that there is, I may say, no evidence of drug sales in the materials on the case,” his lawyer Stanislav Kshevitskii told reporters.

Nato chief warns against relying on China

Nato secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg yesterday cautioned Western allies against becoming as dependent on China as they had been on Russia.

“In the past, we made the mistake of becoming dependent on Russian oil and gas,” he said.

“We must not repeat that mistake with China. Depending on its money, its raw materials, its technologies - dependencies make us vulnerable.”

China has strengthened trade and military ties with Russia in recent years as the United States and its allies imposed sanctions on both, but particularly Moscow for the invasion of Ukraine.

China-Russian trade hit a record of $240.1bn in 2023, up 26.3 per cent from a year earlier, Chinese customs data shows. Chinese shipments to Russia jumped 46.9 per cent in 2023 while imports from Russia rose 13 per cent.

Last month, Reuters reported that Russian president Vladimir Putin will travel to China in May for talks with Chinese president Xi Jinping, in what could be the first overseas trip of his new presidential term.

China must stop aiding Russia if it seeks good relations with West, Nato says

China must stop supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine if it wants to enjoy good relations with the West, Nato secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said yesterday, warning Beijing in unusually harsh words it cannot have it both ways.

During a visit to Berlin, the chief of the Western military alliance said Beijing’s help was vital to Moscow’s war effort as it was propping up Russia’s war economy by sharing high-end technology like semiconductors.

“Last year, Russia imported 90 per cent of its microelectronics from China, used to produce missiles, tanks and aircraft. China is also working to provide Russia with improved satellite capabilities and imaging,” Mr Stoltenberg said.

“China says it wants good relations with the West. At the same time, Beijing continues to fuel the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War Two. They cannot have it both ways,” he warned.

Macron outlines his vision for Europe as war in Ukraine rages on

French president Emmanuel Macron yesterday warned that Europe could “die” if it fails to build its own robust defence as Russia’s war in Ukraine rages on, or if it fails to undertake major trade and economic reforms to compete with China and the US.

Mr Macron urged Europeans to become more ambitious in a fast-changing world to face the challenges of war, fierce trade competition, energy scarcity, climate change and increasing authoritarianism.

Conductor of Ukrainian orchestra to deliver lecture at Gordonstoun

The principal conductor of an orchestra from Ukraine has said it will be a “real privilege” to give a lecture to children at his former school in Scotland.

Hobart Earle, who has conducted the Odesa Philharmonic Orchestra for the last 30 years, will give the annual Prince Philip Memorial Lecture to pupils at Gordonstoun School near Elgin, today.

His interactive talk and presentation, titled Ukraine. Music In Wartime , will provide an insight into how musicians in Ukraine have adapted to living and performing in wartime, and features videos of the orchestra performing from 2014, when Russia first invaded the country, to the present day.

US expected to provide $6bn to fund long-term weapons contracts for Ukraine, officials say

The US is expected to announce that it will provide about $6bn in long-term military aid to Ukraine, US officials said, adding that it will include much sought after munitions for Patriot air defence systems.

The officials said the aid package will be funded through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which pays for longer-term contracts with the defence industry and means that it could take many months or years for the weapons to arrive. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details not yet made public.

The new funding — the largest tranche of USAI aid sent to date - will include a wide array of munitions for air defence, such as the National Advanced Surface to Air Missile System and the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, as well as the Patriot munitions, Switchblade and Puma drones, counter-drone systems and artillery.

The announcement is expected to come as defence secretary Lloyd Austin convenes a virtual meeting today of defence officials from Europe and around the world to discuss international aid for Ukraine. The gathering — created by Mr Austin and known as the Ukraine Defence Contact Group — has been meeting about monthly for the past two years, and is the primary forum for weapons contributions to Kyiv for the war.

Europe is ‘too slow and lacks ambition’ in the face of global threats, says Macron

Emmanuel Macron has urged Europe to improve its defences and cut red tape as it faces existential threats from Russian aggression and American isolationism.

In a nearly two-hour speech at the Sorbonne University in Paris, Mr Macron claimed the 27-member European Union (EU) was “too slow and lacks ambition” before demanding that the bloc does not become a “vassal of the United States”.

“Our Europe is mortal. It could die,” the French president said. “We are not equipped to face the risks. We must produce more, we must produce faster and we must produce as Europeans.”

Thursday’s speech was billed by Mr Macron’s advisers as France’s contribution to the EU’s strategic agenda for the next five years. The agenda is due to be decided after the European elections, which will take place in early June.

Europe is ‘too slow and lacks ambition’ says Macron

Ukraine has sidelined US-provided Abrams M1A1 battle tanks for now in its fight against Russia, in part because Russian drone warfare has made it too difficult for them to operate without detection or coming under attack, two US military officials told the Associated Press.

The US agreed to send 31 Abrams to Ukraine in January 2023 after an aggressive monthslong campaign by Kyiv arguing that the tanks, which cost about $10m apiece, were vital to its ability to breach Russian lines.

But the battlefield has changed substantially since then, notably by the ubiquitous use of Russian surveillance drones and hunter-killer drones. Those weapons have made it more difficult for Ukraine to protect the tanks when they are quickly detected and hunted by Russian drones or rounds.

Five of the 31 tanks have already been lost to Russian attacks.

The proliferation of drones on the Ukrainian battlefield means “there isn’t open ground that you can just drive across without fear of detection,” a senior defence official told reporters yesterday.

The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide an update on US weapons support for Ukraine before today’s Ukraine Defence Contact Group meeting.

For now, the tanks have been moved from the front lines, and the US will work with the Ukrainians to reset tactics, said Joint Chiefs of Staff Vice Chairman Admiral Christopher Grady and a third defence official who confirmed the move on the condition of anonymity.“When you think about the way the fight has evolved, massed armor in an environment where unmanned aerial systems are ubiquitous can be at risk,” Mr Grady said, adding that tanks are still important.

“Now, there is a way to do it,” he said. “We’ll work with our Ukrainian partners, and other partners on the ground, to help them think through how they might use that, in that kind of changed environment now, where everything is seen immediately.”

Blinken meets Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Beijing

US secretary of state Antony Blinken met Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi in Beijing for talks across a range of complex issues, including deepening strains over China’s backing of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Mr Blinken is due to spend several hours with Mr Wang across closed-door meetings at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse and a working lunch as the two sides try to maintain progress in ties despite a broad and thorny agenda.

US State Department officials signalled ahead of the sessions that China’s support for Russia would feature strongly, saying that Washington is prepared to act against Chinese companies that have been helping retool and resupply Russia’s defence industry.

They have said that such assistance risks hurting the broader China-US relationship, even as ties stabilise after being hit by then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in 2022 and the US downing of a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon in February 2023.

Chinese officials and state media have cast doubt over the extent of possible progress on several fronts, with a China Daily editorial saying that both sides “have been largely talking past each other”.

“On the conflict in Ukraine, the world can see it clearly that the Ukraine issue is not an issue between China and the US; and the US side should not turn it into one,” it said.

Nato chief warns West against becoming as reliant on China as it did with Russia

During a visit to Berlin, Mr Stoltenberg said Beijing’s help was vital to Moscow’s war effort – as it was propping up Russia’s war economy by sharing high-end technology like semiconductors.

Watch: No way back for Putin after Ukrainian invasion, David Cameron says

Kyiv says fighting-age men will no longer be able to renew passports outside of ukraine.

In a push to reverse the drain of its potential soldiers, Kyiv has dramatically announced that men of conscription age will no longer be able to renew passports from outside Ukraine.

The Cabinet of Ministers said late on Wednesday that men between 18 and 60 years old who are deemed fit for military service will only be able to replace their passports inside Ukraine.

Millions of Ukrainians have fled the country since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, mostly to neighboring European countries. The European Union’s statistics agency, Eurostat, says 4.3 million Ukrainians are living in EU countries, 860,000 of them men 18 years of age or older.

Poland’s defence minister said his country – which is home to one of the largest Ukrainian diasporas – was ready to help “in ensuring that those who are subject to compulsory military service go to Ukraine” as they “have obligations towards the state” – but he did not specify how.

However the move has met with some criticism inside Ukraine, with senior opposition politician Ivanna Klympush-Tsyntsadze warning that denying military-age men access to consular services could lead to “well-founded” legal challenges at the European Court of Human Rights.

“I think that these actions will only push an enormous number of Ukrainians to look for different ways to obtain citizenship from other countries,” she warned.

Putin to visit China in May

Vladimir Putin has announced that he plans to visit China in May, in what is likely to be the first overseas visit of his new six-year presidential term.

He last visited China in October 2023, having previously signed a “no limits” partnership agreement with Chinese president Xi Jinping just weeks before launching the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

At least seven people have been injured in a Russian air attack which hit an area close to a railway station in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, its governor has said.

Oleh Syniehubov said the attack hit the city of Balakliia, which was seized by Russia early on in its full-scale invasion but recaptured by Ukraine months later.

Kharkiv and the surrounding region have long been targeted by Russian attacks – but the strikes have become more intense in recent weeks, hitting civilian and energy infrastructure.

Poland playing ‘very dangerous game’ if it hosts US nuclear weapons, Kremlin warns

Russia has warned that Poland is playing a “very dangerous game” by considering the possibility of hosting US nuclear weapons.

It came hours after Polish president Andrzej Duda revealed he had invited prime minister Donald Tusk for talks next week about the possibility of nuclear weapons from Nato states being deployed in Poland.

“If they follow the path of further escalation – and this is how the discussions can be assessed, these so far verbal games with nuclear weapons – then a further round of tension will occur. And in general, this game is very dangerous, its consequences may be hard to predict,” he said.

Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova added that any US nuclear missiles in Poland could become targets in the event of a Russia-Nato war.

Sweden to move ahead with sending troops to Latvia as part of Nato forces

Sweden will move ahead with plans to send troops to Latvia as part of Nato’s deployment in the Baltic countries, which share land borders with Russia and its ally Belarus, Swedish premier Ulf Kristersson has said.

“This morning, the government took the formal decision to assign the armed forces the task of preparing the Swedish contribution to the reduced battalion,” Mr Kristersson told a news conference with his Latvian counterpart Evika Silina. “The goal is to have this force operational from the beginning of next year.”

The contribution will include armoured vehicles and Leopard tanks, Mr Kristersson added. Sweden’s armed forces have previously said the country’s deployment to Latvia could include about 600 army troops.

The Nordic country joined Nato last month, abandoning decades of non-alignment in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Sweden had already said it aimed to contribute a reduced mechanised battalion to Nato’s deployment in Latvia as early as next year, troops intended to deter and defend against any attack, but the final decision awaited Nato membership.

Lithuania rejects claims drones were launched at Minsk from Nato territory

Lithuania’s army has denied taking any hostile action against other states – after the Belarusian security service claimed to have thwarted attack on Minsk by drones launched from Lithuania, which is part of the Nato military alliance.

“This is nonsense – I can’t find another word,” a Lithuanian military spokesperson told reporters.

“Such statements by the Belarusian KGB can be regarded as a continuous hostile provocation and an informational attack against Lithuania, which has nothing to do with reality,” added the Lithuanian crisis management centre.

“It can be considered that they are also intended for the domestic audience of the country.”

Lukashenko claims exiles planning to seize Belarus district and appeal to Nato for support

Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko has claimed that the country’s exiled opposition plans to seize a western district and request support from Nato troops, Russian state news reports.

“I don’t know why they chose Kobrin district, they talk a lot about it. [They plan to] seize it ... and appeal to Nato to deploy troops,” the autocractic leader told the All-Belarusian People’s Assembly – as he insisted that current realities required changes to the country’s security stance.

Mr Lukashenko – who has frequently talked up the dangers of an attack by Nato or Ukraine as justification for maintaining his military and security apparatus on a constant state of high alert – also claimed on Wednesday to have “several dozen” Russian tactical nuclear weapons stationed in Belarus.

“It has acquired a new topic: nuclear deterrence. Those who will push us towards it should know about it and have a rational look at the straightforward consequences of their ill-considered decisions, to put it mildly,” state news agency Belta quoted him as saying.

It was unclear whether Mr Lukashenko provided any evidence for such a plan to seize Kobrin, but all of Belarus’s main opposition figures are either in prison or have been forced into exile.

Franak Viacorka, a top aide to exiled opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, derided the claims and said Mr Lukashenko was “losing the connection to reality”, and said his desire to change Belarus’s military stance was “a desperate attempt somehow to restore his confidence in himself internally”.

Russia vetoes UN vote on nuclear weapons in space

Russia vetoed a resolution at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) aimed at preventing a nuclear arms race in outer space.

The draft vote was proposed by Japan and the US and called on all states to uphold the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which obligates nations “not to place in orbit around the Earth any objects carrying nuclear weapons or any other kinds of weapons of mass destruction.”

Thirteen of the UNSC’s members voted in favor, while Russia voted against. China abstained. It comes after US congressman Mike Turner raised concern in Februrary after saying that a “serious national security threat” faced the US.

Sources later disclosed that the threat was connected to an alleged Russian desire “to put a nuclear weapon into space.”

Belarus says it thwarted attack on capital by drones launched from Lithuania

Belarus thwarted a Lithuanian drone attack on its capital city Minsk, the country’s security service claimed. There was no immediate comment from NATO-member Lithuania.

“The State Security Committee, in cooperation with colleagues from other law enforcement agencies, has recently carried out a number of acute security measures, which made it possible to prevent strikes by combat drones from the territory of Lithuania on objects in Minsk and its suburbs,” RIA news agency quoted Belarusian security chief Ivan Tertel as saying.

Belarus is an ally of Russia and allowed Moscow to use its territory to launch its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Macron urges strategy for ‘credible’ European defence

French president Emmanuel Macron has called on Europe to create a credible defence strategy that would leave the continent less dependent on the United States.

“We need to build this strategic concept of a credible European defence for ourselves,” Mr Macron said in a keynote speech.

He said he would ask European partners for proposals in the next months and adding that Europe also needed its own capacity in cyberdefence and cybersecurity.

Ukraine to increase long-range strikes in Russia, UK says

Ukraine is set to increase long-range strikes inside Russia with the help of Western military aid, the UK’s defence chief admitted.

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said long-range weapons would help Kyiv shape the war in “much stronger ways” amid the influx of aid.

“As Ukraine gains more capabilities for the long-range fight, its ability to continue deep operations will increasingly become a feature” of the war. They definitely have an effect,” he told the Financial Times .

It comes after US officials said long-range missiles used by Ukraine were “already hitting” Putin’s forces in Crimea under a secret deal secured by Biden earlier this year.

Talks on Ukraine without Russia are pointless, Kremlin says

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday that any talks on ending the conflict in Ukraine were pointless without Russian participation, referring to a conference that Switzerland plans to host in June.

Zakharova also told reporters that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s peace formula - which calls for a full withdrawal of Russian forces from all the territory they have captured - does not bring peace closer but prolongs the conflict.

Switzerland announced earlier this month it would host a two-day high-level conference on June 15-16 on achieving peace in Ukraine. Russia has said it will not take part, and the Kremlin has said that the idea of holding peace talks without it was ridiculous.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky met British chancellor of the exchequer Jeremy Hunt in Kyiv ant thanked him for the UK’s aid package.

Writing on X, Zelensky said: “I welcomed the UK’s chancellor of the exchequer, Jeremy Hunt and thanked him for the UK’s largest defense aid package, worth half a billion pounds.

“We paid special attention to the sanction policy. It is important to extend restrictive measures against Russia and make the circumvention of sanctions impossible.

“I thank the people, the Government, the prime minister, and the Parliament of the United Kingdom for their support of Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. We highly value our countries’ partnership.”

US long-range missiles ‘already hitting’ Putin’s forces under secret deal

US-supplied long-range missiles used by Ukraine are “already hitting” Putin’s forces in Crimea under a secret deal secured by Biden earlier this year.

The Army Tactical Missile System, or Atacms, arrived in Ukraine last week under a secret deal agreed in March before the £76bn US security package was passed by congress on Wednesday.

US officials said the weapons had already been used to bomb a Russian military airfield in Crimea last week and Putin’s troops in another occupied area.
