Why the new US housing bill won't fix the crisis.

It’s been a week of shifting alliances, escalating tensions and political drama. NATO leaders gathered in Turkey for another pivotal summit, where President Trump arrived questioning the alliance’s loyalty before leaving in a markedly warmer mood, as attention also turned to his relationship with President Zelensky and the future of Western support for Ukraine. In the Middle East, Iran held days of public mourning for its late Supreme Leader while fresh exchanges with the United States cast further doubt over hopes for a lasting ceasefire.

Key supplies of interceptors to arrive in the next few days, as talks also continue on a ‘drone deal’, Zelenskyy says. What we know on day 1,598Ukraine and the US have reached a political agreement on licences for production ⁠of PAC-3 Patriot interceptors, president Volodymyr ⁠Zelenskyy said on Thursday, adding ​that key supplies of the missiles were to arrive in the next few days. The Patriot is a US-made air defence system. Its PAC-3 interceptor is one of the few western weapons ⁠capable of shooting down the ballistic missiles Russia has increasingly fired at Ukrainian cities. Zelenskyy, speaking to reporters after returning from a Nato summit and talks withDonald Trump in Turkey, also said that talks were proceeding with the US on ⁠a “drone deal” or joint drone production.Discussions will proceed with Ukraine’s European allies on developing a separate anti-missile system, ⁠Zelenskyy said on Thursday, with a meeting planned for France in the near future. “It’s for ballistic targets, similar to ​Patriot, but more, I would say, mass-produced and a cheaper system,” he said.A top Ukrainian official has cautioned that it could take a year or more for the country to produce Patriot interceptor missiles. The Kremlin said the licence deal reflected what it called Washington’s “ambivalence” but noted it appreciated Trump’s efforts to help broker a peace deal to end the war, which Russia launched over four years ago.Zelenskyy said on Thursday ⁠that Russia struck an ammunition warehouse during its attack on the ⁠Kyiv region earlier ⁠this ​week, adding that a criminal probe was launched. In the small ⁠town of Vyshneve on Kyiv’s western outskirts, the Russian strike hit the ⁠warehouse and set off massive secondary explosions ​on 6 July. ‌Ukrainian officials ‌said 10 people were killed in Vyshneve and ‌hundreds of houses were damaged. Ukrainian officials rarely disclose any damage to military targets after Russian attacks.Russian strikes killed at least 265 civilians in Ukraine and injured ⁠1,816 in June, the highest combined casualty count since the first months after Moscow’s full-scale invasion in ⁠February 2022, a ⁠top ​UN official told the Security Council on Thursday. UN political affairs chief Rosemary DiCarlo said the number of ⁠civilians killed and injured in Ukraine in May had been the highest since April 2022, but data ⁠from the UN’s Office of the high commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) ​pointed to an even higher ‌toll in June, ‌and possibly July. In total, OHCHR has verified that at least 16,402 civilians, including 802 children, had been killed in Ukraine since the start of the war, and 48,428 had ⁠been injured, including 2,948 children. Russian authorities ‌have reported ​that 250 ​civilians were killed and 1,596 were injured inside Russia in the first six months of 2026, but the UN was not in a position to verify the reports, DiCarlo saidUkraine opened a criminal investigation Thursday, a day after crowds of people in the western city of Lviv surrounded and overturned an army conscription vehicle. The incident drew a swift backlash from top Ukrainian officials, including Zelenskyy, who called it “a very bad story.” Ukraine has seen a steady increase in clashes between citizens and army conscription police since Russia’s invasion in 2022, with authorities reporting over a hundred such incidents this year alone. The unrest erupted after officers detained a man suspected of evading military service and took him to a draft centre, authorities said. Videos published on social media showed crowds surrounding and attacking a vehicle in Lviv late Wednesday, shouting “shame” and filming with their phones. A police officer who arrived to calm the crowd was later attacked, according to prosecutors. Continue reading...

Moscow moves to support domestic fuel market as drivers ⁠face hours-long lines amid intensifying Ukrainian strikes. What we know on day 1,597Russia introduced a ban on diesel exports on Wednesday as part of a raft of measures to support the domestic fuel market after systematic Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries ⁠triggered gasoline shortages and price spikes. Drivers ⁠in many regions are ​facing hours-long lines to refuel, as intensifying Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure squeeze supplies of diesel and gasoline. The deputy prime minister, Alexander Novak, told a televised government meeting, chaired by the president, Vladimir ⁠Putin, that the fuel situation remained complex and that “it is clear that the current situation at filling stations is causing concern among the public.”Russian ballistic missiles and jet-powered ​drones killed at least three people in Kyiv ⁠in attacks on Wednesday morning, officials said, as Moscow exploits Ukraine’s critical shortage of US-made interceptors. The attacks coincided with a Nato summit in Ankara, where Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, held ⁠a meeting with Donald Trump and discussed the possibility of Ukraine obtaining licences to produce the interceptors. Moscow has stepped up its air war on Ukraine in recent months as its ground advances ​have largely stalled and Ukrainian attacks on its military logistics and oil industry triggered widespread fuel shortages. In July alone, Russian strikes on Kyiv and its surrounding region have killed 60 people.The US president’s commitment to allowing Ukraine to manufacture Patriot missile interceptors, however, was vaguely framed, and he admitted he had not spoken to the US defence and aerospace companies Lockheed Martin and RTX Corporation (formerly Raytheon) that produce the Patriot system. It also remained unclear how quickly manufacturing of the expensive and complex munitions could be stepped up.A Russian ‌attack on Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Odesa on Wednesday killed four people and injured six, a senior local official said. The city, Ukraine’s most important port, has been a frequent Russian target in the more than four-year-old war. AKharkiv, Ukraine’s second-biggest city, also came under missile attack on Wednesday morning, local officials said, reporting damage to private homes and a church. Another missile strike later on ⁠Wednesday on a residential building killed two, its mayor, Ihor Terekhov, said.In Russia, Ukraine’s overnight drone attacks killed one person and damaged industrial sites, authorities said.Russia denounced Nato’s decision to give military aid to Ukraine, saying it ⁠could have catastrophic consequences. Maria ​Zakharova, the spokesperson for Russia’s ⁠Foreign Ministry, ⁠said Nato’s priorities remained unchanged: “The militarisation of the European continent, the focus on building up defence capabilities, preparation ⁠for an armed conflict with Russia, and, of course, aid to Ukraine.” Zakharova said in a statement on her ministry’s website: “It is a pity, because if Nato ⁠strategists had stopped and thought for a moment, they might not have ​made such irresponsible decisions that ‌could lead to a ‌catastrophe not just for the alliance, but for the whole world.” Continue reading...
