Russia-Ukraine War: Europeans received support for the war against Ukraine’s drone and ballistic missile attacks this week. A new anti -aircraft missiles came from the United Kingdom and Germany. The aim is to defend the sky of Ukraine.

The European Union (EU) announced the 18th round sanctions against Russia. It aims to cut almost Moscow’s energy imports. The EU defense budget was also proposed a five -fold increase.

The United States has returned to the Ukrainian defense communication group today, but only with a symbolic being. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth joined new weapons without adding new arms deliveries.

Meanwhile, the battlefield Rumbles continued. In mid -July, the Russian forces seized several towns in Kharkiv, Donetsk and Zaporizhia, Ukraine. Ukraine accelerated the opposition with long -range weapons.

Russian air defenses dropped 13 planes near Moscow on Saturday. Ukrainian drones broke the traffic at the Moscow airport the next day. Then came the news that Russia had dropped 74 more drones.

Ukraine’s air defense systems, Germany-made Iris-T and the US-made Nasam and Shorad managed to commission 833 of the 968 drone in a last five-day stretch.

The same night was a great Russian strike: 426 drone, five KH – 47 m2 kinzhal ballistic missiles, four calibr cruisient missiles, a Settanty – K and 14 KH – 101 viewing missile.

Ukraine’s previous record fell 728 drones on July 9th. Germany’s Great -General Christian Freuding warned that Russia was built to get rid of 2,000 drones in a single wave.

Ukraine’s ground units used a system mixture to neutralize drones. The German radar guide Gepard 35 mm anti -aircraft weapon was outstanding. According to Analyst Olena Kryzhanivska, domestic intercept drones also gave key results.

President Zelenskyy confirmed that local weapons production is at the center of Ukraine’s defense plan. “About 40 percent of the weapons in the hands of our fighters were held in Ukraine. It should not be less than 50 percent in six months.” He added a reason on the back of the Bürün: “Pushing the war back to the territory of Russia – returning to the place where the war was brought. So they feel what they are doing”.

Ukraine still lacks a local solution for ballistic missile defense. Currently, only US -made Patriot missile systems fill this role.

Germany has committed to send five Patriot systems. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said he and his secretary Hegseth made an agreement in Washington last week. Germany will buy and change systems during the US production.

Zelenskyy confirmed additional patriotic purchasing plans and offered drone production in return. “I told President Trump … American people need this technology … This is a Mega agreement – a win for both sides -” he said.

Brussels supports Ukraine more visible. President Ursula von der leyen introduced the 1.8 trillion -Euro EU budget, which includes 131 billion -Euro defense and field funds. The plan increases the expenditure of five times from the previous cycle. It also proposes a European competitive fund for military research and doubles the Ukrainian charity fund to 100 billion euros.

New sanctions to the EU’s Russian bar is the import of energy imports of approximately 23 billion euros. Petroleum price limits and shipping limits, refined products and Nordstream shadow fleet. The sanctions are now blocking 444 ships and 45 banks connected to the Kremlin financial flow.

The British Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that the coordinated action with the EU aims to press those who “fueled destruction fires in Ukraine”. The new cover on the oil is about $ 47,60 per barrel.

Direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia on diplomacy are planned in Istanbul this week. Meanwhile, Russian President Putin can participate in China’s Second World War Celebrations, a possible start for a meeting with President Trump.

In the midst of these defense and sanctions, the US Air Force General Alexus Grynkewich warned the need to prepare for a potential conflict with China and Russia within 18 months. He stated possible coordination between Beijing and Moscow in any future conflict.

The new funds of Europe, the military production targets of Ukraine and the increasing drone war may define the next stage of this conflict.
