Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

As long as Ukraine is successfully resisting, Russia doesn't have the forces to attack NATO successfully.

But Putin said something a couple of days ago, saying Russia will respond if she herself is attacked from other countries.

We, of course, have no such plans. So I wouldn't exclude the Russians doing some kind of false flag operation against Russian territory in order to have a pretext for hitting one of the NATO countries.

We need to communicate to Putin that we know what he's up to, that we will not be taken in, and that this would be completely unacceptable. We would defend every inch of NATO territory.

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski on Poland-Ukraine tensions:

This was an ethnic cleansing with elements of genocide. 100,000 people were killed, but we think that reconciliation first of all has to be based on truth about the past.

But reconciliation is not necessarily between friends. You know, reconciliation's aim is not to repeat the horrible events of the past. That is, in fact, the basic deal of the European Union.

The European Union started as a community of coal and steel between Germany and France only a few years after the bloodiest war in history.

So it's not about people falling into each other's arms. It's about deciding not to repeat the bad stuff and to find a better common future.

And it's in that spirit that I hope we'll be able to handle the relationship with Ukraine.

We remain "one nation under God."

We will never let that phrase be stolen from us. People are trying to steal it.

That phrase will never be stolen.

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick:

No president in our history has stood more for God than this President.

He has been unashamed to speak the word of Jesus.

Dr. Phil:

What stuck out for me is how many Americans showed up saying that they were persecuted in health care, military, education — different walks of life — for living their faith and standing up for their faith.

Reporter: You said that Iran violated the ceasefire. Will they face any consequences?

Trump: You'll find out.

Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter to her Lebanese counterpart:

I also want to thank Her Excellency, Ambassador Hamadeh, for being a very tough negotiator.

You and your team set an example for patriotism to your country.

You fight like a lioness, Ms. Ambassador.

In this performance-based trilateral framework agreement, Iran is out, Hezbollah is out, and the road to peace between Israel and Lebanon is in.

NEW: CENTCOM says it launched strikes on Iranian missile and drone storage sites and coastal radar facilities today, retaliating for Iran's June 25 drone attack on the Singapore-flagged cargo ship M/V Ever Lovely as it exited the Strait of Hormuz along the Omani coast.

CENTCOM called the attack a clear violation of the ceasefire and a threat to freedom of navigation.

U.S. forces are continuing safe-passage coordination for commercial vessels and say they remain vigilant to ensure full compliance with the agreement.

EU’s von der Leyen:

If you invest in Ukraine, you invest in Europe.

Not only in an economy of around €200 billion, but in a future member of a single market worth €20 trillion. A market 100 times larger.

EU’s von der Leyen:

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, the European Union and its member states have provided €200 billion in economic, financial, and military support.

With the Ukraine Support Loan, we will provide a further €90 billion over the next two years...

Today we are transferring the first tranche — exactly €3.2 billion in macro-financial assistance.

We will start paying the first money of the €6 billion for drone production in the coming days. This indeed is solidarity in action.

German AfD politician Maximilian Krah: Yeah, we are not Sydney Sweeney.

Mehdi Hasan: Do you think there are too many Muslims in Germany?

German AfD politician Maximilian Krah: I don't want to have 10,000 Somalis.

It shows that I'm not a racist at all because he was a friend and I hired him.

German AfD politician Maximilian Krah:

The EU will collapse within the next 5 to 10 years.

AfD is the only party who's prepared for that.

The EU is now the most economically weak, less innovative, demographically collapsing big room and big space in the world.

We don't have AI, we don't have innovation, we don't have growth.

So of course such a construct must fail.

It will fail, and we will be happy about it.
