That's it. Due to @realDonaldTrump the US is losing one of its key economic drivers, the American weapons industry. Given the lack of reliability and support from the US, Europe is now going to start and keep up its own weapons industry. Big loss for the US mid to long term in many ways.

Trump said the U.S. is no longer spending money on Ukraine, but earning from it, saying NATO allies are now footing the bill for weapons sent to Kyiv.

🇺🇦🇸🇪✈️ Zelensky: Today, Ukraine and Sweden signed an agreement to purchase 16 Gripen E fighters.

The first 16 Gripen C/D aircraft will be transferred to our Air Force as early as early 2027.

We discussed in detail the implementation of these steps and also broader bilateral cooperation, in particular the preparation of the Drone Deal and work on anti-ballistics.

Zelensky confirmed Ukraine struck the Dubna Space Communications Center in Moscow Oblast for the second time. Located more than 500 km from Ukraine’s border, the facility supports Russian satellite communications, reconnaissance, and coordination of occupation forces. #Ukraine

Fatima Huseynova had just graduated from medical school. She came to Kharkiv for the graduation ceremony.

Today Russians killed her on the street with a guided bomb.

Not Putin. “Ordinary Russians”. The ones who say they’re just small people with no power over anything.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, our long-range sanctions against Russia for this war once again reached the Dubna space communications center in the Moscow region. This is a special satellite communications facility used, in particular, for reconnaissance and for coordinating the activity of Russia’s occupation contingent in Ukraine.

The distance from our state border to this facility is more than 500 kilometers. Recently, our Defense Forces of Ukraine already reached four such Russian centers, not only in the Moscow region but also in the Vladimir region. Step by step, we are implementing our plan of long-range sanctions and making it as difficult as possible for the aggressor state to carry out its invasion operations against Ukraine and the occupation of our territories. Relevant actions are also being prepared against other similar enemy facilities.

I thank our warriors for their accuracy! Glory to Ukraine!

Graceful, the "superyacht" widely believed to be part of Putin's personal yachts, was spotted off the coast of Denmark today escorted by two Russian warships.

According to DR, this is the vessel's first public sighting since August 30, 2022. At that time, the yacht was relocated and its AIS transponder was switched off.

Since Sunday morning, the vessel has been monitored by the Royal Danish Navy and the German Coast Guard.

Graceful is more than 80 meters long and is estimated to be worth over $100 million.

Source: DR, the Danish public broadcaster, based on vessel-tracking data and photographs taken from the Danish coast.

General Syrskyi: Our main objective is to ensure that, every day, Russians lose more than 1,000 personnel killed or wounded.

Second strategic objective is to weaken Russia's economy and its offensive and defensive capabilities by striking key elements of its infrastructure, oil extraction and refining industries, with the aim of depriving it of resources it uses to finance the war.

Third objective is to carry out strikes more than 250 km deep, so-called "middle strikes", to destroy Russia's military logistics.

In Russia, the fuel supply crunch - marked by shortages and long lines at petrol stations - has spread even into Moscow, which is usually sheltered from woes in the provinces. The Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries are starting to have a clear impact:

Over the past few days, a lot of important things have happened. In recent days, my attention has been focused on Lukashenko and the activity within the Russian-Belarusian-Chinese triangle.

For the first time after the meeting between Putin and Lukashenko at Valdai, there was neither a joint press conference, nor substantive statements, nor even the traditional demonstrative photo-op. The meeting lasted two days.

Immediately afterwards, Lukashenko urgently traveled to Beijing, and this visit was organized with unprecedented speed for China, where he was personally received by Xi Jinping.

The visit had not been planned or announced in advance. Therefore, it was urgent and important for both sides.

The Chinese leader emphasized support for Belarus’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity. Formally, this is a standard diplomatic formula. But in the current circumstances, it can be read as a signal: Beijing is declaring a protectorate over Belarus and indicating that it has its own interests there. And we know what those interests are - Belarus is a major producer of potash fertilizers, an important logistical hub between Russia and Europe, and part of the overland routes of Chinese trade.

The role of Minsk may be more complex than it appears.

As of now, it looks as though Lukashenko has rejected Putin’s demands to involve Belarus even more deeply in the war with Ukraine and has turned to Beijing for protection.
Time will tell whether these assumptions are correct.

If so, a serious shift in the geopolitical configuration of the region has occurred.
If China takes a more active position regarding Belarus (and Ukraine), I would not rule out that the countries of Central Asia will also listen less to Russia and increasingly turn toward China as the center of their interests.

Meanwhile, after the talks with Lukashenko, Putin made one of the most important statements of recent months. He did not simply reject the Ukrainian proposal for a mutual cessation of long-range strikes. He escalated - declaring the "complete liberation of Donbas and Novorossiya" as his goal. Putin is demonstrating readiness for further escalation and insists that future negotiations must concern not only Ukraine, but the entire system of European security.

Thus, we see that the war is increasingly transcending the framework of a bilateral conflict between Russia and Ukraine. It is becoming a Chinese-Russian tool for reshaping the entire European security system, and its further trajectory depends more and more on Beijing’s strategic calculations.

🛥️ Putin's "superyacht," accompanied by two naval vessels, was spotted off the coast of Denmark.

This was reported by the Danish DR. The superyacht Graceful is being escorted by a Russian destroyer and another Russian patrol vessel.

The Danish Navy and the German Coast Guard have been monitoring the Russian vessel since Sunday morning.

Graceful is over 80 meters long and is valued at over $100 million.

“I actually think that we should change our mindset in that it is now Europe and the United States that need Ukraine, sometimes more than Ukraine needs us, because they are the ones who can conduct modern warfare very effectively, as we have seen against Russia.”

Alexander Stubb, President of Finland

[Institute for the Study of War @TheStudyofWar]

NEW: Russian President Vladimir Putin used his speech to the ruling United Russia Party Congress on June 28 to project Russia’s strength, reinforce his resolve to achieve Russia’s objectives militarily, and reject diplomatic solutions to end his war in Ukraine.

Putin vaguely acknowledged the effects that Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign is having on Russia but attempted to dismiss concerns and promote a facade of stability.

Other Key Takeaways:

The United Russia Party formally claimed to be Putin’s party for the first time since 2007.

United Russia’s top five State Duma candidates for the September 2026 State Duma elections are mostly long-standing Putin loyalists.

Ukrainian forces continued their long-range strike campaign against Russian oil infrastructure on the night of June 27 to 28. Russian forces launched two Zirkon/Onyx anti-ship missiles, six Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles, and 142 drones against Ukraine overnight.

Russian forces recently advanced in the Kupyansk direction.
