In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

• First up—China unveils a Star Wars–style “space aircraft carrier,” complete with sweeping claims about hypersonic strikes and near-space dominance. We take a closer look at what Beijing is claiming—and separate fact from science fiction.

  
  

• Later in the show—the latest on talks between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine, with officials in Kyiv calling the discussions tough but constructive following a major prisoner exchange.
