Von der Leyen wants to help Ukraine with frozen Russian funds
9:57 AM: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called for the available profits from frozen Russian assets to be transferred to Ukraine. In a speech to the European Parliament, she called for the funds to be used to purchase military equipment for Ukraine. She says this is the best way to use the money to make Ukraine and the whole of Europe safer.
The Chinese representative travels to Ukraine, Russia and Germany
9:22 AM: China's special envoy for Eurasian affairs is scheduled to visit Russia, Ukraine, Germany and the European Union in Brussels this week for talks on the war in Ukraine. Envoy Li Hui's trip represents „the second round of shuttle diplomacy to find a political solution to the Ukrainian crisis,” as the Chinese Foreign Ministry explained. Accordingly, the Special Representative will also travel to France and Poland.
China says „restoring peace” is the most urgent issue at the moment. „In the past two years, we have never given up our efforts for peace and have never stopped pushing forward the talks,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Naing said at a press conference. He added, „Everything we have done leads to one goal, which is to build consensus to end the war and pave the way for peace talks.”
Experts: Russia is making more progress on Avdiivka
8:01 AM: Russia is trying to maintain the momentum of its offensive around the recently captured city of Avdiivka in eastern Ukraine. This is what military analysts at the US Institute for the Study of War (ISW) wrote. The Russian Armed Forces appear to be „maintaining a relatively high pace of their offensive operations.” These aim to „advance as far as possible into the Avdiivka area before Ukrainian forces establish more closed and impenetrable defense lines in this area,” the analysis said.
A Ukrainian military spokesman recently said that Russia is working to transform its units in the region from smaller shock forces into larger battle groups and even companies. “Russian forces are currently focusing their attacks west of Avdiivka in the direction of Berdichi, Orlivka and Toninki,” the Institute for the Study of War wrote. In this area, Ukrainian positions are “disappointing” and “problematic,” say Ukrainian military observers, according to the Institute for War Studies report.
However, the difficult terrain with waterways to the west of Avdiivka could soon slow the Russian advance, according to the Institute for the Study of War. This may allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to expand their defensive positions.
Rebels will likely blow up Putin's headquarters in southern Ukraine
7:28 AM: Explosions occurred at the regional headquarters of the Russian presidential party „United Russia” in southern Ukraine. This was reported by the Ukrainian Center for National Resistance. Ukrainian supporters are said to be responsible for the crime that likely occurred on Tuesday morning in the town of Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson region. The information cannot be independently verified.
Russian presidential elections began on Sunday in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson. The National Resistance Center wrote on its website that „the resistance movement forces directed 'peace' to the occupiers and stopped the fake 'elections' in the occupied city.” According to the information, Russia is trying to hide the fact that the explosions were the work of partisans: “In order not to spread panic, the Russians are currently claiming that an alleged drone hit the building, although this is not true.”

Pistorius in the USA: Three missile launchers for Ukraine
Defense Minister Pistorius announced the delivery of three missile launch systems to Ukraine during his visit to the United States. He assured his American colleague Austin of Germany’s greater military commitment.
Germany will pay for the delivery of three HIMARS rocket artillery systems from the United States to Ukraine. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced this decision in Washington after talks with his American counterpart, Lloyd Austin.
“They come from US Armed Forces stocks and are paid for by us,” he said. The systems cost more than millions. HIMARS („High Mobility Artillery Rocket System”) is a multiple rocket launcher artillery system mounted on a truck chassis.

Pistorius emphasizes Germany’s increasing commitment
Ahead of the NATO summit in July, Pistorius wants to use his trip to the United States and Canada to, among other things, correct the critical view of Germany that emerged in previous years and illustrate Germany’s stronger military commitment.
Pistorius stressed Germany’s readiness to bear more military responsibility for security in Europe and the world. He announced that Germany was ready to make „further contributions for a fair transatlantic burden-sharing.” He pointed to the achievement of NATO’s 2% target, the continued deployment of a combat-ready brigade in Lithuania and the Air Defense in Europe initiative initiated by Germany.
Meanwhile, during his meeting with Austin at the Pentagon, Pistorius called on the US government not to relax its shared commitment to Europe. Pistorius was received there with full military honours.
Praise from Austin
In a speech at the Pentagon, Austin pointed to what Germany is doing to defend Ukraine and NATO, as well as security in the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans.
“Whether it is deterring Kremlin aggression or promoting stability in the Indo-Pacific region, our two proud democracies are moving forward,” Austin said, describing Germany as a “force for peace and security.” “Germany remains one of our strongest and most reliable partners,” he said.
Billion orders in the United States of America
The previous day, Pistorius visited a helicopter factory owned by Boeing Defense in Philadelphia. The CH47-F Chinook heavy transport helicopter is produced there. Germany has ordered 60 of them in the latest Block II variant for the German Army. In the future, they will be the backbone of the Air Force when it comes to transporting personnel and materials. Pistorius was assured that everything was on schedule and delivery could take place by 2027.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Germany has ordered weapons and equipment for the German army worth 23 billion euros from the United States. In total, there are about 380 contracts with US defense companies.
During the visit of European Parliament President Mitsula, Ukrainian President Zelensky said that Ukraine wants to take the initiative on the front after the arrival of Western weapons.
Ukraine wants to regain the initiative
With the arrival of Western weapons, Ukraine wants to regain the initiative on the front. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a press conference with the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Mitsola, in Kiev that the Russian armed forces are currently launching an attack in eastern Ukraine, and this is not a secret.
“As soon as the arms shipments arrive, we will stop their initiative,” Zelensky promised. But his army needs „something strong” to make this happen. An outdoor press conference in front of the presidential office was canceled shortly afterwards due to an air raid warning.
According to Zelensky, the Russian army is currently preparing for a major attack. For this purpose, forces will be gathered in the north and east of the front. However, not everything is going as well for the Russians as they thought. The Ukrainian president emphasized: “It is not that I want to raise your morale. This is the reality.”

President Isaac Herzog also responded to Ben Gvir X’s post. “We must refrain from baseless, irresponsible and offensive comments and tweets,” he said.
The United States is said to have suspended the delivery of heavy bombs to Israel
Before Ben Gvir, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, had already expressed his disappointment with Biden’s announcement. Erdan told Israeli Kan radio: “This is a difficult and very disappointing statement from a president to whom we have been grateful since the beginning of the war.” Biden’s announcement would give Israel’s enemies such as Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran „hope of success.”

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich wrote in a statement that Israel had received a reminder “that the war of independence is still ongoing.” When it was founded in 1948, the country also faced a US arms embargo. “Today we will once again achieve complete victory in this war, despite President Biden’s opposition and the arms embargo. We simply have no other choice because this war is an existential battle and anything less than comprehensive victory puts the existence of the United Nations at risk.” “The Jewish state will be put in danger,” Smotrich said.
