Key Stories

Ukraine’s defense minister steps down amid leadership shakeup — Mykhailo Fedorov resigned as Ukraine’s defense minister after reports of conflicts with military leadership. President Zelensky is set to appoint Ihor Klymenko as his replacement, though protests are planned over the decision.

Ukraine and Europe launch joint anti-ballistic shield project — Ukraine and European nations kicked off the FREYJA project to build a shared anti-ballistic defense system. The initiative aims to integrate European capabilities and protect skies over participating nations.

Ukraine’s drones strike deep into Russia, sinking ships and hitting refineries — Ukrainian maritime drones hit 20 Russian vessels in the Black Sea, while FPV drones destroyed a $19 million Russian helicopter. Strikes also targeted oil refineries and power plants in occupied Crimea.

Russia’s military faces fuel shortages and brutal discipline — Videos show Russian commanders punishing troops over fuel shortages, while Ukraine’s drone dominance expands the battlefield’s “death zone” to 40 km deep, making traditional tank maneuvers nearly impossible.

Syrskyi is not willing to openly discuss all the problems. He is willing to attend meetings, engage in intrigue, and believe that someone has launched a campaign against him in the media.

Zelenskyy has never let me down as a member of the team in the past seven years.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 UKRAINE IS CRIPPLING RUSSIA’S OIL INDUSTRY

According to Bloomberg, Ukrainian long-range strikes have pushed Russia’s oil refining volumes to their lowest level since 2005.

Over the past 100 days, Ukraine 🇺🇦 reportedly damaged 24 of Russia’s 🇷🇺 34 major refineries and struck fuel-production facilities at least 50 times.

Since the beginning of July, Russia’s average crude processing has fallen to 3.91 million barrels per day, more than 1.4 million below last year’s average.

Ukraine’s General Staff says strikes since August 2025 have inflicted approximately $13.5 billion in losses and disabled 42.74% of Russia’s total refining capacity.

Oil revenue is the financial lifeblood of Moscow’s war machine.

Every damaged refinery means less military fuel, lower export revenue and fewer resources available to finance the invasion.

Ukraine is turning long-range strike capability into one of the most strategically consequential campaigns of the war.

Russia cannot achieve victory in this war. It has exhausted a significant part of its military potential, and every month the cost of continuing the aggression becomes higher for the Kremlin.

Russia will need about 10 years to recover in terms of military capabilities.”

Putin revives Soviet-style travel restrictions for Russians — Russia is reportedly bringing back exit visas, requiring citizens to travel in pre-approved groups of at least 10 to “unfriendly” Western countries. The move mirrors Stalin-era restrictions to prevent defections.
x.com/DefenceU/status/207738…Defense of Ukraine (@DefenceU)For the first time, Ukraine and Europe will build an anti-ballistic shield together. A historic project in which Ukraine is not an observer, but one of the leaders – bringing together countries and Europe’s strongest defense companies. The FREYJA project has been launched.

We will do everything necessary to build Europe’s anti-ballistic system by integrating all European anti-ballistic capabilities. So that the skies over our nations are protected.
