Zelensky on the Trump-Putin call:

Ukraine supports peace, but if Russia talks and then bombs Slovyansk, we will respond.

Russia’s goal is the same - no mobilization, no aid to Ukraine, so they can attack later.

The prisoner exchange? Pre-planned, nothing new.

0/

Zelensky: Russia and Ukraine, with U.S. mediation, might agree not to hit energy infrastructure

But it can’t be that Russia keeps striking our energy sector while we stay silent. We will respond. [He refers to tonight’s Russian attack and blackout in Slovyansk] 1/

Zelensky: Regarding Putin’s political will. The air raid alarm in Ukraine - that’s your answer. This is how Putin shows he doesn’t want war.

He’s afraid that Ukrainians will disrupt the "peace." 2/

Zelensky: I don’t want Ukraine to be on Putin’s menu. We are not a salad or a compote to be served up for his appetite - no matter how big it is.

And we all see what kind of appetite he has. 3/

Zelensky: We support all steps toward ending the war. But to support something, we need to understand the specifics. If President Trump has time, he’ll call. We’re ready. 4/

Zelensky: I knew about the prisoner exchange. I got that information in advance from the SBU and GUR. This was a planned exchange on our part. 5/

Zelensky: I want President Trump to see what Putin is really after - a new offensive in Zaporizhzhia, the east, Kharkiv, and Sumy.

Why? To put maximum pressure on Ukraine and then dictate ultimatums from a position of strength. 6/

Zelensky: There’s no major weapons shortage in Ukraine right now. Yes, there are issues with FPVs. But when it comes to artillery, certain mines, and systems, we’re covering those needs for now.

Honestly, we’re even ramping up supplies. 7/

Zelensky: I really hope that President Trump put maximum pressure on Putin regarding necessary steps.

Perhaps they are sequential.

I do not know. 8/

Zelensky: Putin keeps bringing up mobilization, and weapons [in his demands].

What’s behind that? An attempt to weaken Ukraine’s army.

This was his ultimatum at the start of the war. He changes the words, but the substance stays the same. 9X

Volker: Zelenskyy has learned how to deal with Trump. This time [in Ankara] he was disciplined.

He didn't want to talk too much in public. He wanted their private meeting to have a positive tone. He joked a little.

That's the right way to handle things. 1/

Volker: Zelenskyy has an advantage over Russia in drones, counter-drones, electronic warfare, defense tech, innovation and logistics.

Many things that Putin is not able to do. Long-range strikes are hitting Russia's source of money: its oil and gas industry. 2/

Volker: Putin wants another shot at the winter.

He wants to keep fighting and try again to shut off Ukraine's electricity. Ukraine is in a stronger position than last winter, but Putin probably wants to try again. 3/

Kuleba: Putin is living through his Stalin moment. When everything falls apart around you, you do not give in.

You tighten the screws and double down: nothing can break me. Putin is waiting for winter to crush Ukraine’s energy system and its people’s resilience.

1/

Kuleba: Ukraine asked to build Patriot missiles at home in December 2023. The West takes too long to make obvious decisions.

War is becoming more aerial, and Ukraine will never have enough Patriots to intercept all ballistic missiles.

2/

Kuleba: Trump’s first year hit Ukraine hard. No one expected an easy relationship, but no one imagined it would get this bad.

Things look better now, but no one can guarantee it will hold.

At a secret factory in southern Germany, Helsing SE mass-produces AI attack drones for Ukraine.

The HX-2 weighs 26 pounds, can cost as little as €17,500, needs barely a week of training and has been deployed by the thousands, NYT. 1/

Helsing is Europe’s most valuable AI defense start-up.

Founded in 2021, it set out to mass-produce cheap war machines as Western defense moves beyond multiyear contracts for tanks, jets and submarines toward cheaper, nimbler systems. 2/

The factory operates under tight secrecy.

Helsing’s name appears nowhere, other tenants do not know it exists, and the site can be dismantled and relocated within a day because the company fears sabotage or attack. 3/

Venezuela is formally sovereign, yet power is exercised from Washington.

Marco Rubio controls its money, oil rules, sanctions, appointments and public messaging.

Decisions about elections, timelines, and who can run remain unresolved or influenced from abroad, — NYT. 1/

Most Venezuelan export revenue goes first to the U.S. Treasury, then gets disbursed back through Venezuela’s banking system.

Rubio’s team decides what can be spent, and by whom. 2/

That gives Washington leverage over acting leader Delcy Rodríguez.

She needs U.S.-released money to pay workers and support the currency. Her government operates under U.S. financial permission. 3/

Kasparov: If Russia crosses into Estonia or Finland — NATO formally needs Article 5, Brussels, the American general reports to Washington.

The question is: will Trump not be playing golf at that moment?

1/

Kasparov: I see zero signs that Russia is ready for any negotiation process — not in propaganda, not in the economy, not in statements from Putin, Lavrov or Peskov.

Maybe I missed something. But so far we see exactly the opposite vector.

2/

Kasparov: NATO as we knew it no longer exists. The infrastructure remains, the internal ties remain, but it will all work differently now.

For the first time since the Cold War, NATO faces a real threat of military confrontation with Russia. And in fact, it is already happening.

Queues stretch up to nine miles beyond Crimea's checkpoints. 79% of hotel bookings cancelled. Fuel sold on Telegram at $25 a gallon. Blackouts last for days. Water available one hour a day.

Putin's "sacred" peninsula has become a burden. — The Telegraph.

1/

Ukraine struck 50 energy facilities in Crimea between July 1–8. Hit 76 shadow-fleet tankers in the Sea of Azov this week. Long-range strikes jumped 1,150% in 2026.

Six choke-point bridges under attack. Russian authorities suspended all fuel sales to private individuals.

2/

Fedorov: "In the near future, Crimea will become an island. For the Russians, the real hell is just beginning."

The fuel crunch has spread to at least 78 of Russia's 83 federal regions. Police and National Guard deployed to petrol stations to prevent confrontations.
