assets worth about $50 billion to support Ukraine.
The decision was made after Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelensky said he expected the group to
make some "important decisions" at the summit in Italy.
G7 members agreed to provide funds with profits
earned on Russia's frozen central bank assets, most
of which are held by the European Union, as collateral.

Leaders expressed that the agreement

It’s a very strong message
to Putin that Putin cannot
outlast us, and we will stand
by Ukraine as long as it takes, Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission
president, via 'The Independent'.

taxpayers that are
paying for the Russian
damage [in Ukraine]

dividends and maturities from approximately $300

The decision comes as a major boost for
Ukraine as Kyiv fights through a grueling
2024 against a better-equipped Russia.
Finally, we see the first step of
fairness in making sure that the
aggressor, and not the good people
from countries that support us,
are paying for Ukraine’s victory, Kira Rudik, Opposition leader in
Kyiv’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada,

We applaud this step.
We hope that it is only
the first of many more
steps.

this money wisely, Kira Rudik, Opposition leader in

Ukraine’s top commander, Aleksandr Syrsky, is reportedly ready to lay down arms and capitulate to Russia, according to a claim made by a lawmaker from President Vladimir Zelensky’s party. The claim was made by MP Mariana Bezuglaya from the ‘Servant of the People’ party, who is also the deputy chair of the National Security, Defense, and Intelligence Committee.
Syrsky, who became Ukraine’s highest-ranking general in early February, succeeded Valery Zaluzhny, the former general who oversaw last year’s unsuccessful attempts to repel Russian forces. Bezuglaya accused Syrsky and Zaluzhny of secretly colluding to prevent a Ukrainian victory, stating that the two generals belong to a “generals’ mafia” that is more interested in protecting their own privileges than in defeating Russia.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has denounced recent viral videos depicting US President Joe Biden as confused at public events, labelling them as “cheap fakes.” Her comments follow the spread of several clips on social media, which have ignited debates about the president's mental fitness. In one widely shared video, President Biden appears to struggle with sitting down during a D-Day memorial event in France. Commenters suggested he seemed “completely lost” or experiencing “some kind of episode.” Another clip from a G7 meeting in Italy shows Biden wandering away from the group during a skydiving demonstration, only to be guided back by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

In a recent statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected the peace terms proposed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, labeling them as an ultimatum. During a meeting with senior Russian Foreign Ministry officials, Putin demanded that Ukraine cede four regions that voted to join Russia and guarantee it will never join NATO. Zelensky, attending the G7 meeting in Italy, emphasized that these demands are unacceptable and tantamount to surrender. The Kremlin, however, described the offer as a comprehensive and constructive proposal. As the conflict continues, the gap between Moscow's demands and Kiev's position remains wide, with peace still a distant hope.

ISS Crew Forced to , Take Shelter , After Russian Satellite Breaks Apart.
'The Independent' reports that astronauts aboard the
International Space Station (ISS) took shelter due to
the danger of debris from a broken up Russian satellite.
Crews aboard the ISS were ordered to board
their respective spacecraft in case debris
struck and damaged the orbital laboratory.
According to experts, the ever-increasing number of
satellites in orbit around Earth has magnified the risk of
collision and other potential problems for space crews.
It remains unclear what caused
the RESURS-P1 Russian Earth
Observation satellite to break apart. .
According to NASA's Space Station office, the event
occurred near the space station, prompting astronauts
to take shelter in their spacecraft for about an hour. .
Mission Control continued to monitor the path of the debris, and after about an hour, the crew was cleared to exit their spacecraft and the station resumed normal operations, NASA statement, via X.
Space-tracking firm LeoLabs said that U.S. radar
detected the decommissioned satellite releasing a
cloud of debris in low-Earth orbit late on June 26. .
Shortly after 9 p.m. EDT, NASA
instructed crews aboard the space
station to shelter in their respective
spacecraft as a standard precautionary
measure after it was informed
of a satellite break-up at an
altitude near the station, NASA statement, via X.
According to U.S. Space Command, the Russian satellite created , "over 100 pieces of trackable debris.".
USSPACECOM has observed no
immediate threats and is continuing
to conduct routine conjunction
assessments to support the safety
and sustainability of the space domain, U.S. Space Command statement, via 'The Independent'

Julian Assange , Reaches Plea Deal With , US Government.
'The Independent' reports that Wikileaks
founder Julian Assange has been released
from Belmarsh prison as part of a plea deal
with the United States Justice Department.
Assange will be flown out of the U.K. as part
of the deal before he makes a guilty plea deal
that could end the years-long legal battle.
On June 24, Assange boarded a flight at Stansted airport
ahead of a scheduled appearance later this week in the
Mariana Islands, a Western Pacific U.S. commonwealth.
The U.S. government has charged the
Wikileaks founder with conspiracy to obtain
and disclose national defense secrets.
The charges stem from one of the largest leaks of
classified information in U.S. history, disclosing tens of
thousands of reports regarding the war in Afghanistan.
The disclosure, which occurred between 2009 and
2011, included unfiltered diplomatic cables that
potentially endangered the safety of confidential sources. .
The leak also included significant
activity reports related to the war in Iraq
and information regarding Guantanamo Bay.
According to the latest DOJ filing, Assange is expected
to plead guilty and be sentenced to 62 months of time
already served, thus avoiding U.S. imprisonment. .
This is the result of a global campaign
that spanned grass-roots organizers,
press freedom campaigners,
legislators and leaders from
across the political spectrum,
all the way to the United Nations, Wikileaks statement, via X.
After more than five years in
a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours
a day, he will soon reunite with his
wife Stella Assange, and their children,
who have only known their
father from behind bars, Wikileaks statement, via X

'The Independent' reports that rip currents pose
the greatest danger to beachgoers,
accounting for the most beach rescues every year. .
Over a recent two-day period in Florida,
six people drowned in rip currents.
Every year, about 100 people drown
because of rip currents in the United States
according to the U.S. Lifesaving Association.
Over 80% of beach rescues
involve rip currents every year.

Weather Service has listed 16 deaths
from rip currents in U.S. waters. .

flows rapidly away from the beach, which are capable
of pulling swimmers a fair distance from the shore.
Rip currents normally form
at low spots along the beach
or along jetties and piers.
While sometimes associated
with stormy weather, they can
also occur on sunny, clear days.
Rip currents are also difficult to
detect as the surface water near
them often appears to be calm. .
'The Independent' reports that the best advice to escape a
rip current is to try and swim parallel to the shore and not
to tire yourself out before having to swim back to land. .

The past week in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has seen active combat continuing at multiple locations along the front line, with Moscow reporting new gains in Donbass and the liberation of more villages from Kiev’s forces.
On Sunday, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of Chigari, a small settlement located shortly to the northwest of the town of Gorlovka, Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic. The settlement, which has been reduced into rubble over the years of fighting in formerly-Ukrainian Donbass, has been used by Kiev’s forces as one of the staging points to launch indiscriminate artillery and missile strikes on Gorlovka
