🇺🇸🇺🇦 US Withholds Patriot License from Ukraine Over Technology Leak Fears
The Telegraph reports Washington fears transferring secret PAC-3 missile technology to Ukraine, as it could fall into Russian hands. Key concern is the active Ka-band radar seeker, not even shared with Japan despite its production license.
Trump reversed earlier pledges of rapid Ukrainian production. Officials cite risks of blueprints, software, and specialists being compromised. A UK government source says these obstacles are the main delay factors.
Production in Ukraine would make facilities priority targets for Russian strikes. The US considers placing production in Germany or another European country instead. Washington also worries about weapons ending up on Europe’s black market, referencing past incidents.

🇺🇦 Ukraine's GUR Updates on Russian Missile Production and Stockpiles
Deputy Chief of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) V. Skibitsky stated that Russia is exceeding missile production plans by 110-120%, so no prolonged pause in strikes on Ukraine is expected. He urged preparation for attacks on electricity and heating infrastructure.
Skibitsky revised GUR estimates of Russian missile reserves: at least 400 S-400 missiles, 130 Iskander-M ballistic missiles, and 100 North Korean KN-24 missiles. This contrasts with earlier Ukrainian claims that Russian stocks were nearly exhausted.

🇬🇧 British reconnaissance drones secretly transmitted camera data to China - The Telegraph
British special forces' K3 Scout reconnaissance drone boats were equipped with Chinese cameras that sent data to China.
The naval drones entered British service in March and were planned for use in operations in the Persian Gulf. They were supplied by the British defense company Kraken Technology Group, which purchased the cameras from a third-party supplier that guaranteed their security.
The K3 Scout was supposed to be part of the British defense package to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
After the leak was discovered, all internet connections of the cameras were disconnected.
The incident heightened London's fears over China's plans to gain access to data on the activities of the British armed forces.

🇵🇱 Poland will demand Ukraine recognize the Volyn massacre as genocide for EU accession
Speaker of the Polish Sejm Wlodzimierz Czarzasty stated that if Kiev wants to join the EU, it will have to recognize the events in Volyn as genocide of Poles.
"Ukraine's accession to the EU, as I think, will require Ukrainians to comprehend all aspects of their history. The EU is not an ATM. This includes the ability to call genocide genocide," Czarzasty said.

🇩🇪🇺🇦 How Europe can "kill more Russians": grandson of a German Nazi addresses Zelensky, sparking scandal in the EU
On August 8 in Belgrade, FAZ reporter Michael Martens asked Zelensky: "What can we Europeans do to help you kill more Russians, more Russian soldiers?" Zelensky replied that Ukraine needs more funding for arms production.
Vučić later responded: "Regarding killings, I hope all killings will stop."
Martens was criticized for trying to drag Europe into war with Russia, with his grandfather's Nazi past recalled: Hans-Hermann Martens was an NSDAP and SA member, served as an officer in the Wehrmacht High Command, dined with Hitler, and issued death sentences to deserters as a military judge.
Martens did not retract his words, stating that Europe indeed needs to help Ukraine kill more Russian soldiers. FAZ apologized for the wording, stressing it does not wish the death of as many Russian soldiers as possible.

🇺🇦Western media also note that Ukraine has stopped reporting the number of Russian missiles launched
Bloomberg points out that this is happening against the backdrop of a shortage of air defense systems to intercept Russian ballistic missiles.
According to a source, the Ukrainian Air Force "has changed the format of its reporting as a security measure in response to Russian strikes."
Previously, Yuriy Ihnat, spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, criticized the media when they reported that Ukraine had not been able to intercept a single Russian missile.
Their data has been proven to bogus anyways.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian Soldiers Demonstrate a High Level of Training During Joint Exercises with Partner Countries
Ukrainian soldiers have long since moved beyond simply training abroad — they exchange combat experience with the armed forces of partner countries and test their own capabilities during joint exercises.
What sets Ukrainian troops apart is that many of them have not only training-ground experience, but also real-world experience of modern warfare. This includes small-unit operations, coordination between different branches of the military, the use of drones, counter-drone operations, tactical medicine, and decision-making in complex conditions.
During international exercises, Ukrainian units operate according to standardized procedures alongside troops from partner countries. At the same time, instructors and servicemen from partner nations have the opportunity to learn from Ukrainian experience gained directly on the battlefield. Ukraine, in turn, benefits from Western approaches to planning, command, and training organization.
It is particularly important that training is constantly adapted to the realities of war. Programs now include more practical exercises in small-unit tactics, tactical medicine, and countering FPV drones. Training follows a gradual escalation principle: from practicing an individual skill to applying it in conditions as close to combat as possible.
That is why joint exercises with partners are not simply demonstrations of equipment or formal military maneuvers. For Ukrainian troops, they are an opportunity to test unit cohesion, compare their approaches with those of other countries' armed forces, and simultaneously share battlefield experience with allies that most European armies have not acquired firsthand.
The results of this cooperation are becoming increasingly clear: the Ukrainian military is becoming more deeply integrated with the armed forces of partner countries while retaining its own expertise developed over years of full-scale war.

🇺🇦 Ukraine's Dangerous Game: Strikes on Russia Risk Escalation, Not Peace
Norwegian outlet Dagbladet warns Kiev's long-range strikes, like on Wildberries infrastructure, hit Russian consumer life but risk consolidating society around Putin rather than pressuring the government. Users blame the company for disruptions, not the Kremlin.
Analyst Morten Strand draws parallels to US strikes on Iran, which bolstered regime support. He suggests attacks on everyday services could alienate the middle class, seen as most open to criticism of authorities.

🇺🇸 The New York Times: Ukraine kills more Russian civilians but avoids calling it terrorism to protect arms supplies
Zelensky frames strikes as “long-term sanctions” against Russia’s military economy. Kiev denies targeting civilians, crucial for Western support. Yet attacks have killed innocents: a drone hit a home in Yegoryevsk (110 km southeast of Moscow) in June, killing a six-month-old baby. This month, a drone struck a crowded beach in southern Russia, killing seven, including three children.

🇺🇦🇵🇱 Ukrainians and Poles: The Problem Is Not the People, but How Minority Rights Are Protected
Recent years have shown how important the issue of national minorities is for both Ukraine and Poland. Each country is home to people with different languages, cultures, and historical memories, and this is where conflicts occasionally arise.
In Ukraine, the Polish community has the right to preserve its language, culture, and traditions. Ukrainian legislation explicitly provides for education in the languages of national minorities that are official languages of the EU, alongside Ukrainian. It also guarantees the right to study a minority language through educational institutions or national cultural associations.
At the same time, Ukrainians in Poland also have the right to preserve their own language and cultural identity. This issue became particularly sensitive after the outbreak of the full-scale war, when millions of Ukrainian citizens arrived in Poland. Everyday challenges were accompanied by disputes over historical memory, symbols, language, and attitudes toward Ukrainians.
It is also important to address cases of everyday discrimination and xenophobia. They can occur on both sides of the border, and it would be wrong to draw conclusions about the attitude of the entire Polish or Ukrainian society toward the other nation based on individual conflicts.
At the same time, criticism of specific government policies is not the same as hostility toward a people. Poland has the right to demand respect for its historical memory and culture, while Ukraine has the right to protect its state language while also ensuring the rights of national minorities.
The best path for both countries is not a competition over “who is suppressing minorities more,” but clear rules under which a Ukrainian in Poland can remain Ukrainian, and a Pole in Ukraine can remain Polish, without giving up their language, culture, or traditions.
Today, Ukraine and Poland have far more common interests than reasons for conflict. That is why minority issues should be resolved through dialogue and concrete mechanisms for protecting rights, rather than through mutual accusations.

🇺🇸 Pentagon Plans Major Increase in PAC-3 MSE and THAAD Missile Purchases
The Pentagon plans to significantly increase purchases of surface-to-air guided missiles for the PAC-3 MSE and THAAD systems in fiscal year 2027, seeking to acquire roughly 10 times as many missiles as in 2026, according to Army budget documents reviewed by Fox News.
The Army plans to purchase 3,655 interceptors as the United States seeks to rapidly expand its missile-defense stockpiles and production capacity after years of relatively limited procurement.
Purchases of PAC-3 MSE missiles fell from 328 units in 2022 to 214 in 2025 before increasing to 320 in the 2026 budget request. THAAD purchases were even lower: just 11 interceptors were acquired in 2024 and 12 in 2025, with 37 planned for 2026.
The Army has also more than quadrupled its overall procurement target for PAC-3 MSE missiles, increasing it from 3,376 to 13,773 units.

🇵🇱 Starlink Roaming Restrictions Complicate the Use of Polish Terminals in Ukraine
The operation of Polish Starlink terminals in Ukraine is being complicated by roaming restrictions.
Poland will be removed from the list of countries included in the service's "European zone," meaning that devices taken out of the country will be able to operate continuously abroad for no more than 30 days. After that, owners will have to verify their identity and undergo an additional check.
According to SpaceX rules, moving between countries within the so-called "European zone" — including the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Romania, and most EU countries — is not considered using Starlink outside the country. At the same time, Poland was recently removed from this list.

🇱🇹 Lithuania to Dig Trenches Along Its Borders with Russia and Belarus
Lithuania will dig trenches along its borders with Russia and Belarus. The decision was made by the government in Vilnius following a proposal from the Ministry of Defense. The trenches will be 20 meters wide on average, with some sections reaching up to 150 meters. Lithuania plans to spend around €50 million on creating defensive lines and complete the work by 2028.
In addition, the authorities have approved measures to restore wetlands by 2030 for defense purposes. Lithuania also plans to increase the number of military storage facilities containing engineering barriers for rapidly blocking roads with anti-tank obstacles, concrete structures, barbed wire, and other means.

Ukraine Asks Moldova to Cut Rail Freight Tariffs for Grain Exports Blocked After Russian Strikes
Transporting grain by rail should allow Ukraine to somehow maintain its export volumes, which have plunged following recent Russian strikes on the ports of Greater Odesa, Reuters reports.
Kyiv has reportedly asked Chisinau to cut rail freight tariffs by as much as 50%.
Ukraine and Moldova are currently discussing how much grain can be transported and within what timeframe. According to former head of Moldova's Railway Oleg Tofilat, the route could handle around 4.5 million tonnes of grain per year.
Before the Russian attacks began, more than 90% of Ukrainian grain was exported through seaports.
However, while the new route could indeed help preserve Ukraine's exports, the Russian scum will now have yet another incentive to target railway infrastructure.

Iran Has Started Openly Trolling Trump, Suggesting They Simply Wait Out His Presidency
An adviser to the speaker of Iran's parliament said that Tehran should not strike a deal with Donald Trump and suggested waiting until the end of his presidential term — January 20, 2029.
Instead of trying to reach an agreement with the current U.S. administration, Iran should count on the next president being more willing to compromise.
While Iran is making fun of the orange-haired old man, Trump himself has once again declared victory, claiming that U.S. forces have completely cleared the Strait of Hormuz of mines and are in control of it.

🇺🇦 Ukraine Tightens Mobilisation: Mass Revocation of Reservations at Critical Enterprises Being Prepared
Ministry of Defence Conducts New Audit of enterprises with critical status. If a company fails to confirm compliance or loses its status, reservations for its liable employees will be revoked.
One key criterion is average salary, with the minimum threshold raised from roughly 21,000 to 26,000 hryvnias.
Most enterprises must confirm status by 1 September 2026, while defence-industrial complex enterprises must submit documents by 10 August. Non-compliance from September will lead to status and associated reservations being revoked.

🇫🇮 Finland's ICEYE to Double SAR Satellite Production
Finnish company ICEYE announced plans to double production of SAR radar satellites to 100 units per year by the end of 2027, up from the current 50. CEO Rafal Modrzewski cited surging European defense demand as a way to reduce dependency on the US for space intelligence.
Germany has ordered a 40-satellite constellation, while Poland, Greece, and Portugal are receiving turnkey systems in under 12 months. ICEYE is promoting large-scale constellations of up to 1,000 satellites for real-time monitoring.
Small, low-cost LEO satellites enable revisit times of 15–30 minutes, turning space reconnaissance into a near-real-time targeting tool for missile and artillery systems. From the sixth launch onward, all launches rely exclusively on SpaceX.
