Trump: The problem with the Tomahawk that a lot of people don't know, it'll take a minimum of six months, usually a year, to learn how to use them.

They're highly complex. The only way a Tomahawk is going to be shot is if we shot it, and we're not going to do that. 1/
Q: Why are you elevating sanctions against Russia right now?

Trump: I just felt it was time. We've waited a long time. I thought that we'd go long before the Middle East. 2/
Trump: In terms of honesty, every time I speak with Putin, I have good conversations and then they don't go anywhere.

He's fighting a war. It's time to make a deal. A lot of people are dying. They're souls. Worst since World War II. 3/
Trump: I think sanctions will have an impact. They're massive, on oil and two of the biggest Russian companies.

Hopefully Putin and Zelenskyy will become reasonable. They hate each other, and that makes it more difficult than it should be. 4/
Trump: WSJ said I gave Ukraine permission to shoot missiles deep into Russia. I didn't do that. They're not using our missiles.

They're using European missiles. I don't control that. I control ours. It was a fake story. WSJ does a lot of fake stories. 5X

For two years, Russians have tortured and hidden Ukrainian journalist Anastasiia Hlukhovska. She’s still somewhere in their prisons.

Witnesses say guards electrocuted her in a basement chamber. Her screams echoed through the cells — . 1/ Slidstvo.InfoImage
On August 20, 2023, FSB agents burst into Hlukhovska’s apartment in occupied Melitopol.

They beat her, seized her laptop and phone, handcuffed her, and dragged her away. Russian propaganda later showed the raid on TV, while the FSB told her family they never detained her. 2/
Russians locked her in the basement of the “Ruslan-Komplekt” factory — turned into a torture site.

A woman imprisoned with her said, “They shocked Nastia with electricity. She couldn’t stand. The guard told me, ‘If she stops breathing — knock.’” 3/

Ukrainian ground drone forced a Russian surrender for the 1st time, The WP.

In June in Kharkiv region, a 3rd Assault Brigade land robot packed with 63 kg of explosives cornered a dugout.

Russians raised a sign: “WE WANT TO SURRENDER.” 1/ Image
The $1,500 wheeled drone rolled to the position under overwatch from an aerial drone.

After a 1st blast into the dugout, a 2nd robot waited outside while 2 unarmed Russians emerged with the sign and followed the quadcopter to Ukrainian lines. 2/
No Ukrainian infantry were lost in the operation. The brigade used aerial FPV for the initial strike, then sent the land drone to finish the job and hold the position at risk.

Ground troops advanced only to accept the POWs and secure the tree line. 3/

Rutte: Russia’s economy is hurting — long gas lines, a third of its oil and gas infrastructure hit by Ukraine, and Europe cracking down on the shadow fleet.

With U.S. leadership and focus, we’ll change Putin’s calculus, bring him to the table, and move toward a ceasefire.

1/
Rutte: President Trump said he wants the U.S. to join Europe in providing security assurances for Ukraine — that will help greatly.

In the end, there must be a meeting, but it has to start with a full ceasefire. I fully support the president’s vision on this.

2/
Rutte: Russia’s lost about 1 million killed or wounded — 20 000 dead last month, as many as the Soviets lost in 10 years in Afghanistan.

When Trump imposed secondary sanctions and mentioned Tomahawks, Putin called him. That’s leadership — it changed his calculus.

Witkoff: Doing peace deals becomes infectious — leaders now call to the White House asking how to move a peace deal forward in Ukraine. 1/
Witkoff: The Israeli strike had a metastasizing effect. After it, Qatar — the main channel to Hamas — lost confidence, Hamas went underground, and communication broke down.

A Trump-brokered apology from Netanyahu was pivotal, the lynch pin that got us to the next place

2/
Jared Kushner: Trump told Netanyahu it’s time to make peace.

We’re not going to make you do anything that will create long-term security issues, but we need you to be flexible so we can get the Arab world on board and get this deal done.

On July 28, 2024, the Armed Forces of Ukraine killed 6 members of the Russian elite unit Senezh in a border fight.

Senezh undergoes strict selection and Western-style training, performing the most difficult and dangerous tasks.

Suspilne made a documentary about them. 1/ Image
“Senezh is the highest level of training and organization in Russia’s special operations forces — the elite of the elite.

Created under Defense Minister Serdyukov, it has a large structure and many specialists, often among the first sent to hot spots.” 2/
Ukrainian forces watched Senezh's advance.

"We pretended that they had simply been blown up by a mine. And when their comrades began to drag the two combatants away, we had already begun to fully use all our firepower that we had at that time." 3/
