Rutte: We’re now massively arming Ukraine with U.S. weapons funded by Europe: missiles, ammo, air defense.

If Russia avoids peace talks, in 50 days, secondary sanctions will hit India, China, and Brazil hard. Leaders in Beijing, Delhi, and Brasília should take note. 1/
Sen. Tillis: If Putin succeeds in Ukraine, what’s next? Moldova? The Balkans? Peace in the region is at risk.

This isn’t a political or partisan war. It’s a brutal war of choice by Putin and he must fail. 2/
Rutte: Together with Ukraine, through our command in Wiesbaden, we’re building tailored aid packages.

The U.S. keeps enough for its own defense, but ensures Ukraine gets what it needs. It’s also a clear signal to Putin: get serious about peace talks. 3/
Rutte: Pistorius and Hegseth are working out the details. Patriots are flowing to Ukraine either directly from the U.S. or front-loaded by Europe and backfilled by the U.S.

The logistics are in place. Trump now backs opening U.S. stockpiles. 4/
Shaheen: We need to move forward with the Graham-Blumenthal sanctions bill — 85 bipartisan sponsors.

Giving Russia 50 days only means more dead Ukrainians and global uncertainty. Every day counts. 5/
Tillis: We should pay special attention to the murderous behavior of Putin as we go into any peace discussions if they occur 50 days from now. 6X

WSJ: Trump decided to give Ukraine not 2, but 5 Patriot systems — after seeing Russia bomb a maternity hospital in Kharkiv and a residential block in Kherson (killing a 1-year-old). He immediately called Merz on July 11 and made the offer.

1/ Image
The sale wasn’t planned. Just a week earlier, Merz asked for 2 systems and Trump said no. But July 11 changed that. Trump: I’m ready. He picked up the phone himself. Merz immediately agreed.

2/
Merz got Trump’s attention by offering money. On July 3, hours after Trump’s last call with Putin, Merz called him and said: if you’ve frozen aid to Ukraine, sell Patriots to Germany.

The Third World War has already begun and Ukraine is at its center.

Not a sudden eruption, but a war built over decades of Western disarmament and strategic illusions.

Azov commander Denys Prokopenko explains in Ukrainska Pravda why Ukraine is the blueprint for victory.

1/ Image
After 1991, the West replaced armies with integration.

Security became a bonus, not a pillar.

Democracy, not deterrence, was the plan.

Result: most of Europe has peacetime militaries, hollow logistics, and no doctrine for large-scale war.

2/
Ukraine was part of that illusion.

It gave up nukes, dismantled Soviet infrastructure, shrank its armed forces — all to fit NATO’s script.

The reward? No real security guarantees.

That script failed in 2008 (Georgia), 2014 (Crimea), and again in 2022.

Chmut: 2025 is the hardest year of the war in Ukraine. Russia attacks.

Ukraine loses ground. Institutions stall.

Mobilization fails. Command structure breaks down.

Head of Ukraine’s top-funded defense charity “Come Back Alive,” Taras Chmut spoke to UkrPravda.

1/
Chmut: The length of the front in Ukraine-Russia war reaches 1,400 km. Russia pushes along 20% of the front.

Sumy and Kharkiv now serve as buffer zones for terror, troop diversion, and territorial bargaining.

2/
Chmut: Russia tries to take all of Donetsk — advancing through Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, and Pokrovsk.

If it enters Dnipropetrovsk, even 1 km² under Russian administration could shift the war politically. 3/

Nvidia to resume AI chip sales to China after CEO Huang met Trump.

The U.S. now plans to grant export licenses, reversing the April ban that cost Nvidia $5.5B in write-offs.

It halted $15B in potential sales over national security concerns, Reuters reports. 1/ Image
Nvidia launched a new RTX Pro GPU for China, "fully compliant" with U.S. export rules.

China brought in $17B for Nvidia in FY2024 — 13% of its total sales, making it a key market for the world’s most valuable company. 2/
Bipartisan senators urged Nvidia CEO to avoid firms tied to China's military during his Beijing trip.

Despite rising competition from Huawei, Chinese companies still seek Nvidia chips for access to its dominant computing platform. 3/

Ukraine Economy Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko for Kyiv Independent:

Previously mineral deal focused on critical raw materials and energy.

At the G7 we discussed using the Ukraine investment fund for defense projects. The U.S. is considering it. 1/
Svyrydenko: This fund is purely about investment, not security guarantees.

But U.S. investment in Ukraine naturally boosts U.S. interest in protection. We discussed this with U.S. companies just two days ago. 2/
Svyrydenko: The fund will operate at least 10 years, investing in Ukrainian projects and sharing dividends later. It won’t build factories, only investment. 3/
