In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:

• First, U.S. energy officials are re-evaluating the national security risks posed by Chinese-made equipment critical to America’s renewable energy infrastructure, after discovering what appear to be spy devices hidden inside Chinese solar power inverters.

• Later in the show—high stakes direct peace talks between Russia and Ukraine that were planned for Thursday in Turkey hit a major snag, as Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to skip the negotiations, instead sending a junior delegation in a snub to Kyiv and President Donald Trump.
