Ukraine wants to supply the European Union with more electricity from its own country in order to overcome the energy crisis sparked by Russia. As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced in his recent video address, the country is planning "an increase in our electricity exports for consumers in the European Union". "Step by step, we are making Ukraine one of the guarantors of European energy security, precisely through our domestic electrical energy production," said Zelenskyy.
According to the Defense Ministry, Ukraine has received the first three Gepard anti-aircraft vehicles from Germany. In addition, tens of thousands of shots were handed over, Defense Minister Oleksiy Resnikov said on Ukrainian television. The German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht (SPD) had actually promised to deliver a total of 15 such Cheetah tanks in July.
In his daily video address, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyj, described the preservation of national unity as the most important task. This is the only way the country can win the war and become a member of the EU. In his speech, Zelenskyy reacted to the announcement by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that he wanted to overthrow the government in Kyiv. Ukrainians will never give up their independence, the President said.
The military delegates of Russia and Ukraine have forged this Friday their first successful agreement since the beginning of the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukrainian territory.

Olga Skabeeva, probably Russia's best-known TV presenter and notorious Kremlin propagandist, is in a particularly good mood right now. "The poor, poor Germans," she says with an ironic smile on the program of the state channel Rossiya 1, where she prepares her viewers for the Kremlin line every day. Skabeeva, reporters and studio guests who have joined the film take a detailed look at the supposed horrors of life in Europeapart: long showers that become a luxury.
The unemployment that threatens because companies can no longer afford gas, while the EU members are at odds over the threat of austerity measures. According to Rossija 1, only the pawnshops flourished because the suffering Europeans pawned their valuables. Skabejewa's conclusion is devastating: "Even if Scholz no longer washes his crotch and bottom folds, German industry will come to a standstill. And that in sated capitalism."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused Russia of using Ukraine as a testing ground for possible attacks against other European countries. "Russia is testing everything in Ukraine that can be used against other European countries," said Zelenskyy in his video address.

Ukraine must also defeat Russia so that other countries are safe, Zelenskyj said. "The quicker this happens, the less harm and suffering all European families, all European countries will experience."
Russian President Vladimir Putin warns Europe that gas supplies from Russia will continue to fall. If the turbine for the Nord Stream 1 pipeline repaired in Canada does not arrive in Russia soon, the daily delivery volume will fall even more, he said at a meeting in Tehran, according to the Russian state news agency TASS. We have one more route ready - that's Nord Stream 2. We can put it into operation," Putin said at the same time.

When a train set off south from the small town of Chekhov near Moscow a few weeks ago, only a few industry experts kept an eye on the process.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that his country will take back territory occupied by Russia.

Ukrainian Air Forces reported rockets fired at long range from the Caspian Sea region . Shortly before, the Ministry of Defense in Moscow had announced that it wanted to expand the attacks again almost five months after the invasion.
The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj is rather optimistic about the further course of the war - also because of the western arms aid. "The occupiers have already felt very well what modern artillery is. And they will no longer have a safe rear anywhere on our soil that they have occupied," Zelenskyj said in a video speech.
According to media reports, several Russian troops' bases, ammunition and weapons depots have been destroyed far behind the front lines in recent weeks.
