⚡️🇺🇦 — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy:

We need better transport and logistics. We need more capacity to move large volumes of goods. We need to move faster with the modernization of our roads and railways. We need military mobility that improves our defense capability. We need more storage facilities, more renewables, development of region’s critical minerals, stronger trade links and stronger manufacturing cooperation. We need to build more interconnectors between our energy systems. And of course we need to bring much more investment into the Carpathian region, which is a natural European gateway for routes coming from the South Caucasus and Asia through the Black Sea. These routes are active today, and they will remain active in the future.

In Ukraine, you know, the war is very deadly every month.

​with losses on both sides that are considerable and with no contemporary equivalent.

​And you know, of course, I'm not coming back to it, the position of France, of Europeans in support of Ukraine sanctioning Russia.

​But since this summer, Russia has multiplied attacks against European interests.

​I was able here on several occasions, remember the alert sounded in February 2024 by calling on Europeans to gain in strategic ambiguity, announcing what we were going to do a year later with the coalition of volunteers.

​I want to say here that the nature of Russian aggressiveness and its threats in Europe is changing.

​The drone attack on a passenger train from Kyiv, a few days ago.

​The attack, attempted attack at Leipzig airport which failed but it's because it failed or that there were so few consequences attributed by German services to the GRU.

​The firing of a flare near a Danish frigate, incursions into airspace in several European countries.

​And the multiplication of hostile acts in most of our countries.

⚡️🇫🇷🇺🇦 — French President Emmanuel Macron:

Facing this situation, our position is clear: support for Ukraine is more than ever essential, because it is the condition of our security and of a return to a just and durable peace.

This is the position that remains, it is this also which leads us with the United Kingdom to pilot this coalition of the willing and moreover to have in a few weeks exercises which will be carried out on European soil to consolidate this, and this is also what justified the meeting of July 13 last, the new coalition and the new components that France delivers like other countries.

⚡️🇫🇷🇺🇸🇮🇷 — French President Emmanuel Macron:

This situation, to which is added the destruction of energy infrastructures in Russia and Ukraine, a consequence of the Russian war of aggression, leads to an explosion of energy prices everywhere in the world. Crude, diesel, all refined and transformed products, so diesel or jet fuel, but also tension on gas for today and tomorrow.

​This situation is obviously the one that we know and that our compatriots know, but it is also the one that will continue in the coming weeks anyway to rhythm the life of the country. And so we have been able to share our analysis, but also the actions that we are taking.

​Today, France is doing everything to facilitate the peaceful reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This is the action that since the month of April last we have conducted here even by bringing together for the first time this international defensive mission with the International Maritime Organization to allow if an agreement were found, to escort the tankers and the container ships, the port container, would allow to reopen in a peaceful way Hormuz.

​This depends on the capacity to finalize an agreement which seems to us little probable between Iran and the United States of America in the short term. Nevertheless, the discussions that we accompany exist between Oman and Iran and there also exist diplomatic paths that would allow the reopening of this strait and we are therefore disposed to accompany this and to secure it.

Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia are unacceptable and sabotage the global economy.

I spoke with FaisalbinFarhan about diplomatic efforts to end the fighting in Yemen and restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. Maritime passage must be unimpeded and toll-free.

Europe is helping protect shipping in the Red Sea from Houthi attacks. Given the worsening security situation, EU Operation ASPIDES has raised the alert level of its vessels as it continues its escort duties.

⚡️🇮🇱🇺🇸 — Netanyahu Plans Brief U.S. Visit for UN General Assembly with Potential Stop in Texas to Tour SpaceX Facilities, — THEJERUSALEM POST.

​➡️ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly adding a stop in Texas to tour SpaceX facilities during an upcoming, highly compressed two-day trip to the United States for the UN General Assembly, constrained by the need to return to Israel before the start of Sukkot. While final logistics remain unconfirmed, the tight schedule has raised curiosity among planning officials, with discussions considering whether Netanyahu might forgo an overnight stay in New York entirely and instead base his sole U.S. overnight stop in Texas or an alternative location.

​➡️ Texas has emerged as a major hub for technology, investment, and trade ties with Israel—recording roughly $4 billion in bilateral trade in 2024 alongside numerous Israeli investment projects—and is home to prominent pro-Israel Republican lawmakers like Senator Ted Cruz. Although the specific meetings or events driving the potential Texas leg have not been formally finalized, the state has actively deepened its economic alignment with Israel, including doubling its investment in Israel Bonds to approximately $280 million earlier this year and advancing plans to open a state economic office in Jerusalem.

⚡️🇮🇹🇸🇦 — An Italian aircraft was hit during attacks on Ta'if air base in Saudi Arabia, Defense Minister Guido Crosetto announced Friday, according to Anadolu Agency.

Crosetto said he followed the situation at the base, where Italian personnel are present as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, and confirmed that no Italian military personnel were harmed.

➡️ "During the attack, an Italian F-2000 aircraft was hit. It was inside the base, in a remote area. There is no other damage to vehicles or infrastructure used by our personnel," Crosetto said.

➡️ He said he asked for further assessment of the evolving situation, the condition of personnel, and possible operational options, adding that all security measures to protect military personnel had already been in place for some time. "The situation is being followed with the utmost attention, with the aim of ensuring the full protection of our personnel and operating with the necessary responsibility."

Saudi Arabia has faced a series of missile and drone attacks attributed to the Houthis in recent days amid escalating regional tensions, with fighting between Yemeni government forces and the Houthis intensifying since early July, ending a period of relative calm that had largely held since a UN-brokered truce in April 2022.

⚡️🇺🇸🇨🇳 — EXCLUSIVE: The US military had a close call after a false intelligence report generated with the help of artificial intelligence nearly triggered an operation to intercept a Chinese ship suspected of transporting nuclear weapons components, according to an exclusive CNN report.

The report circulated across the US military this spring during the war with Iran and set off alarm bells, prompting plans to intercept the vessel, with armed personnel preparing to board and military planes in the air. Officials dug deeper just before the operation and found the report was generated by AI, with a chatbot inaccurately identifying the cargo. One source said the report was "entirely false" but "almost started a war."

➡️ A special operations command analyst had queried a chatbot about intelligence reporting on the ship's manifest from US Special Operations Command Pacific. The bot fused open-source intelligence with secret signals intelligence and reached the conclusion, after which the analyst used AI again to package the findings into a standard intelligence report and disseminate it. It was unclear whether the chatbot was commercial or a government product.

➡️ The episode underscores risks as the US military pushes AI into nearly every facet of its work, from analyzing raw intelligence and selecting targets to logistics. Officials say there is no single set of standards for verifying AI-generated information, and multiple sources warned that AI in targeting is ramping up with no real guidance for preventing civilian casualties or fratricide. One source said: "AI allows you to get to a bad idea faster."
