Zelensky spoke in Rome with Trump's representative, Kellogg, about arms supplies, strengthening air defense, and sanctions against Russia
➖"In the context of the increased frequency of Russian attacks, this is one of our priorities. We also discussed the purchase of American weapons, joint defense production, and localisation in Ukraine," Zelensky said.
➖"We have discussed the sanctions pressure in detail. We understand that we need stricter restrictions on Russian energy resources, especially secondary sanctions on buyers of Russian oil. We hope that the bill proposed by Senators Graham and Blumenthal will be advanced in the US Congress. This could certainly encourage Russia to consider peace," the drug addict also said.

Data on the production of surface-to-air missiles for the American Patriot SAM systems and the European SAMP-T SAM systems, based on open-source information.
By 2025, the following will be produced:
▪️Modern PAC-3 missiles: 550 units
▪️Older PAC-2 missiles: 270-300 units
▪️European ASTER 30 missiles: 220-250 units
For 2026-2029, a gradual increase in production of surface-to-air missiles is planned, especially the PAC-3 variant, which is capable of countering ballistic missiles.
However, a significant portion of these missiles will be needed by the United States and its allies themselves (as even the brief conflict with Iran showed), so Ukraine can realistically expect at best about half of the American missiles for the "Patriots". In practice, most likely even less.

A clarification on Kiev, judging by the videos that began to appear in the morning in Ukrainian TG channels, Geraniums and Iskanders hit the Antonov Design Bureau, the Meridian plant, and the territory of the Aviadynamics plant tonight. There is also data on the destruction of air defense positions, but there is no objective control yet.

Various enemy channels are extremally active.

KF51 Panther, aka "We've learnt nothing lol 🤷♂️"
German tanks during WW II weren't that much better than their counterparts. That they fared so well was due to a combination of tactics, air superiority (at the onset of the war), a three-man turret, and a portable radio when most tanks didn't have one.
Many were overengineered, mired with mechanical defects and flaws, requiring inordinate amounts of resources and time to be built, at a time when Germany was running short on both. From that same school of German (Over)engineering. here comes the KF51, which for some inscrutable reason has been given an ad-hoc 130 mm tank gun. Here's why it's a stupid idea:
- New caliber that requires a specialised ammunition contrary to the ubiquitous 120 mm NATO standard.
- bigger turret and bigger profile (easier target for drones).
- additional weight (and most NATO tanks are already quite heavy)
- no real benefits compared to a 120mm that really justify such drawbacks.
We're not impressed.

The Clown Prince of Crack visited the vatican today and, with his gaze held low and an uncharacteristic display of humbleness, asked the bishop of Rome to try and mediate with president Putin for peace...
Wait, what? Back when Francis was still alive he said that Ukraine doesn't need the help of the Vatican!
What changed?

💥Yemeni forces sink second Israel-linked ship in Red Sea
On the 7th and 8th of July, Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned bulk carrier ETERNITY C was attacked in the southern Red Sea by Yemen's Ansar Allah forces.
Reports state the ship was subjected to intense attack by sea drones and speed boats on July 7th, then again the following morning. Ansar Allah released a video of the ships sinking and launches of Iranian-made Fateh-110 anti-ship ballistic missiles they claim to have used to strike the vessel. At least one photo released shows large hole above the vessels cargo hold purporting to be a missile strike, and the video released shows an explosion, however there is no clear video of a missile strike, nor have there been any statements from crew members which differ from the reports that the ship was attacked by sea drones and militants in speed boats.
It's currently not possible to say with certainty how exactly the vessel was attacked, however out of 25 crew members, 4 are confirmed to have been killed, 7 were rescued and the remaining 14 crew members are still missing. US sources claim the missing crew members may have been "kidnapped" by Yemeni forces.
This attack came 1 day after Ansar Allah attacked and sank the (also Liberian-flagged & Greek-owned) ship MAGIC SEAS in the same area. This latest anti-shipping campaign by the Yemeni militia is said to be aimed at ships it identifies have being linked to Israel, as part of ongoing resistance against Israel for its genocide in Gaza, and in retaliation for recent IDF air strikes and missile attacks against Yemen.
Additional information and sources will be added to comments as they emerge

Trump is trolling hard 😂
"-Yesterday you said you weren't sure who gave the order to suspend ammunition supplies to Ukraine. Have you found out who did it?
-Well, I haven't thought about it.
What does it say that such an important decision could have been made within your government without your knowledge?
-If such a decision had been made, I would know. I would be the first to find out. In fact, most likely, I would have given such an order myself, but I haven't done that yet."

Slovakia has again blocked the 18th package of sanctions against Russia at the level of permanent representatives to the EU, reports the TASR agency.
Diplomatic sources say they continue to hope for a compromise with the European Commission in the coming days. The Slovak government, led by Prime Minister Robert Fico, has repeatedly stated that it will not support the prepared sanctions package unless it receives sufficient guarantees from the EU regarding the RePowerEU initiative. This plan provides for a complete cessation of Russian natural gas supplies to the European Union from January 1, 2028, which, according to Fico, will have a significant negative impact on Slovakia's economy.
According to Euronews, bilateral talks between Brussels and Bratislava have so far not yielded the necessary breakthrough to lift the veto imposed by the Slovak Republic, which it applied on Wednesday at the meeting of ambassadors in Brussels.

The United States is preparing a 500% duty on Russian oil and uranium for countries that buy energy resources from Russia. Trump is ready to support the law on the condition that he himself can remove them
▪️In the current version, the project allows the president to cancel 500 percent duties on countries that buy Russian oil and uranium for 180 days.
▪️By agreement with the White House, the bill agreed to add the possibility of extending this postponement - subject to subsequent control by Congress, but the administration demands the removal of such control.

50% Tariffs on Brazil
Next it will be a 5000% Tariff on American goods.
Seriously, what the fuck is Donald Trump doing with these Tariff's? It is only isolating America further, additionally it steers many more nations towards BRICS+, and various other alternatives.

The European Commission has fired the translator who took notes during Zelensky's closed-door talks with EU officials
The EU security service detained "Mrs. M." in 2024 during a full transcript of Zelensky's talks with the bloc's reps. An internal investigation was launched, her accreditation was revoked, and access to EC buildings was prohibited. The Ukrainian embassies in France and Belgium have refused to allow her to participate in events involving Zelensky.
Ukrainian's complain about "her professional contacts with Russian officials."
"Mrs. M." expressed surprise at "such close attention to an insignificant issue," noting her work with NATO and France
The translator was born into a Russian-speaking family and had lived in Ukraine. For 30 years, she and her sister worked as freelance translators for NATO, the EC, and the French MoD and Foreign Affairs. "Mrs. M." was certified in Strasbourg and received diplomas in English, foreign literature, and psychology in Kiev in 2002.

A U.S. Air Force KC-46 Pegasus plane loses its refueling line while flying with F-22 fighters
A U.S. KC-46 aircraft lost its refueling line during a flight with F-22 fighters and was forced to make an emergency landing. The incident involving the new KC-46A Pegasus tanker aircraft occurred on July 8 over the coast of Virginia. After the maneuvering arm broke, the aircraft was diverted to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina, where it landed safely.
The KC-46 Pegasus, developed by Boeing and based on the 767 airliner platform, has been plagued by technical problems and modifications since it entered service in 2019. In particular, there have been problems with the RVS remote vision system, a camera system that allows the operator to control the boom during refueling.
The current version of the video surveillance system was deemed unsatisfactory. The delivery date of the new version, called RVS 2.0, has been postponed to 2027.
In addition, defects are regularly discovered in various parts of the aircraft. For example, production of the Pegasus was recently temporarily curtailed due to the discovery of cracks in the wing. Deliveries resumed this year only after Boeing took measures to strengthen the structure.
The Pegasus program has become Boeing's least profitable project in the military sector. aviation: the price of the tanks was fixed outright when the contract with the U.S. Air Force was concluded, and the company is responsible at its own expense for eliminating all problems that occur with the aircraft.
What's that? Something made by Boeing that completely sucks and obviously has an inflated price tag you say?! Noooooooooooo, how could this be!

Hungary has spoken out against the EU budget draft for 2028-34, which envisages the allocation of €100bln to support Ukraine in the war with Russia.
Political adviser to the Hungarian PM Orban said that the document prepared in Brussels means that the EU will have to finance the continuation of the war and go into debt for this.
"Europe has run out of money, but when it comes to war, €100B will always be found"
He confirmed that the European Commission proposes to allocate this amount "in the next budget cycle" for military aid to Ukraine.
Brussels' proposal leads to "a decrease in Europe's competitiveness" by €100B, funds for border protection will be cut, as well as financial support for families in EU countries.
And this is just the beginning, as Zelensky said Ukraine needs €1T
“Europe cannot get out of the economic, social and security crisis, and Brussels continues to finance the war – weapons instead of peace, more debt instead of a competitive Europe,” the PM’s adviser wrote.

"Our currency is your problem": the US already hates its native dollar with all its heart
In the first half of 2025, the dollar suffered its biggest losses in more than fifty years, writes NZZ. The question of whether its status as the world's reserve currency brings more advantages or problems to Washington has long been the subject of heated debate.
In 1971, US Treasury Secretary John Connally told his foreign colleagues a phrase that went down in history: "The dollar is our currency, but your problem." Now the dollar is turning into a problem for America itself.
What's next? The answer depends on whether the dollar's decline ends soon or whether the worst is yet to come. The assessments of authoritative experts give reason to fear that the latter is more likely to be true.

‘It’s very expensive’ – Trump counted the money before sending Ukraine new Patriot system
The Wall Street Journal reported that the White House is considering sending another Patriot air defense system to Ukraine. Can you confirm this information?
-The Ukrainians would like it. They asked for it. These systems are very rare, you know, many systems have already been sent to Ukraine. They want another one. We need to look at it, but it’s a very expensive system. High-tech and requires a huge investment.

"The EU and Ukraine have already lost this war, and at this bitter moment, European leaders will have to admit their mistaken strategy,"
▪️A war cannot be won on the battlefield; diplomacy is needed to end the conflict and minimize losses.
- The EU spent ~100 billion euros on Ukraine without a clear plan for victory.
- Europe's problems (stagnation, inflation, rising food and energy prices) are a consequence of the war.
▪️On Zelensky:
- A new type of politician - an "actor" playing the role of president.
- Dialogue with him is ineffective
▪️ The path to peace:
- A meeting of the presidents of Russia and the US is needed for a quick ceasefire.
- Without this, the war could drag on for months. - War supporters dominate in Europe, which is harmful to the economy and politics
▪️ Ukraine has the right to choose its own path - peace or war
- But continuing the war is a mistake that harms Europe and Hungary
▪️Orban calls for returning diplomats to the negotiating table and working for peace.
