Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.”

On July 17, Ukrainian troops raised national flags in the eastern villages of Yalta and Voskresenka, located near the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk border—territories Russia had already claimed to have captured.
Fighters from the 31st Separate Mechanized Brigade and the 505th Separate Marine Battalion quietly entered these so-called “occupied” areas and planted the Ukrainian flag, directly challenging Moscow’s narrative of battlefield success.
Footage released by Ukraine’s 20th Corps shows the flag-raising moments and FPV drone strikes targeting Russian positions. While Russian propaganda reports daily advances, Ukrainian forces are proving that the front lines remain fluid, contested, and fiercely defended.

On the night of July 17–18, Russia launched a deadly wave of attacks across Ukraine, striking the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts with drones and other weapons. At least two civilians were killed and 11 injured in the Kamianske district of Dnipropetrovsk, where homes, a school, a shop, and cars were damaged. In Zaporizhzhia, Shahed drones ignited fires in non-residential buildings, injuring a 79-year-old man.

In a dramatic escalation, Russia’s Aerospace Forces have struck two key Ukrainian military sites in coordinated aerial attacks. A devastating FAB-1500 high-explosive bomb targeted a temporary deployment area of Ukraine’s elite 25th Separate Airborne Brigade near Rodinskoye in the Donetsk People's Republic, reportedly causing massive destruction. Simultaneously, a light air-to-surface guided missile precisely hit the UAV command post of the 39th Separate Coastal Defence Brigade near Olgovka in the Kherson region.
These attacks, seen as a tactical move by Russia to weaken Ukrainian battlefield coordination, come amid intensifying clashes in the east and south. The dual strike raises serious concerns about Ukraine’s ability to secure critical infrastructure and battlefield intelligence hubs. With the use of heavy aerial ordnance and advanced missile targeting, Russia is seemingly ramping up precision strikes to paralyze Ukraine's operational depth. No official casualty figures have been released yet, but the scale of the attacks indicates a significant blow to Ukrainian forces.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, setting a 50-day deadline to end the war in Ukraine or face sweeping consequences. Trump threatened "very steep tariffs" and harsh secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian oil. The proposed sanctions aim to criple Russia’s economy and isolate it globally. Trump’s ultimatum, delivered with unmistakable clarity, signals a possible escalation in economic warfare if Moscow refuses to agree to a ceasefire within the time limit.

Donald Trump has rebuked Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for an airstrike on a Catholic church in Gaza, calling the incident a “mistake.” His spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed Trump called Netanyahu to express his displeasure. Trump also reportedly called Syrian leader Al-Sharaa, urging both sides to agree to a ceasefire. Emphasizing the need for regional stability, Trump said he envisions a “peaceful and progressive Syria.” His remarks signal a rare critique of Israel and a renewed push for diplomacy in the Middle East.

Russia has accused Ukraine of launching over 500 chemical attacks since the war began, including toxic drone strikes and gas container drops across the frontlines. General Rtishev alleges Ukraine uses chemical agents like chloroacetophenone and chloropicrin in the Donetsk People’s Republic. Moscow claims Kyiv is plotting a chemical leak at an ammonia facility to frame Russia for an environmental disaster. These escalating accusations mark a new, dangerous front in the conflict, raising international concerns over chemical warfare.

Volodymyr Zelensky has appointed Yulia Svyrydenko as Ukraine’s new Prime Minister despite fierce backlash from opposition voices, who say Zelensky no longer has any constitutional authority to govern. Critics argue that under Ukraine’s Constitution, presidential powers cannot be extended beyond a 5-year term—even during martial law. Svyrydenko, a former Economy Minister with close ties to Washington and a track record of negotiating key mineral deals with the U.S., is now leading a narrow cabinet made up entirely of Zelensky loyalists.
Her appointment has reignited debate over Ukraine's democratic legitimacy, with accusations that Zelensky is ruling without a legal mandate. Allegations of links between the new PM and billionaire George Soros have further polarized public opinion. The move is being viewed by critics as a consolidation of power under questionable legal footing—raising serious concerns over transparency, democratic norms, and foreign influence in Ukraine’s leadership.

Ukraine's drone revolution is turning the tide of war. Along a 20 km “kill zone” near the frontline, kamikaze, surveillance, and bomber UAVs swarm the skies, making Russia's traditional advantages of tanks, artillery, and manpower nearly obsolete.
Ukrainian commanders say drones now account for over 70% of successful strikes on Russian forces. Meanwhile, Russia adapts with new tactics—sending small groups on quad bikes to bait fire and launch counter-drone strikes. With European support rising and U.S. aid shifting under Trump’s NATO-based weapons plan, Ukraine banks on domestically produced long-range drones to hold ground and retaliate deep into Russia. The battlefield is no longer just about artillery—it's a race of innovation and aerial dominance
