Good meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office. Thank you for everything we are doing together to protect the lives of Ukrainians and achieve peace. First of all, I expressed my condolences to President Trump regarding the death of Lindsey Graham. He was a true friend of Ukraine.

We discussed with the President the licenses for the production of Patriot interceptors and some other ideas that could help. We also talked about diplomacy โ€“ it is important to intensify the diplomatic process. Our teams will coordinate the details of their further communication. I am grateful to the United States for its strong support.

๐Ÿšจ Iran, Gaza & Regional Deals Top the Agenda ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

๐Ÿ“Œ Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to press President Trump to expand any future agreement with Iran beyond the nuclear file by demanding:

๐ŸŽฏ Strict limits on Iranโ€™s ballistic missile program
๐Ÿšซ An end to Iranian support for regional resistance movements

๐Ÿ”น Discussions will also cover:

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง The framework agreement on Lebanon
๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ The situation in Gaza
๐Ÿค Possible expansion of the Abraham Accords

โš ๏ธ Despite their strategic partnership, differences remain.

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Trump is reportedly pushing for a temporary diplomatic pause to create room for negotiations, while Netanyahu continues to favor sustained military pressure.

๐Ÿ“‰ Both leaders are also under growing domestic pressure:

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Trump faces mounting political and economic challenges ahead of the November midterm elections.

Netanyahu is balancing shifting regional realities with increasing internal political demands.

๐ŸŽฏ Strategic Takeaway: The Washington meeting is not merely a bilateral consultationโ€”it is an attempt to redefine the next phase of U.S. regional strategy, where Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, and normalization efforts are increasingly treated as interconnected components of a single geopolitical framework.

This would mark the fourth Saudi tanker reportedly struck by the Yemeni group in less than a week since the blockade was announced.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐ŸคกImmediately after the Ukrainian delegation's visit to the White House, Sibiga called Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi directly from Washington and assured him that "Ukraine has never had the goal of striking civilian ships or people." ๐Ÿคก

Just yesterday, Sibiga tweeted on X:

Iran's threats are unjustified and baseless. The regime in Tehran is a direct accomplice to Russia's aggression against Ukraine, fueling Moscow's criminal war with weapons that have been killing Ukrainians since 2022. Iran has no right to portray itself as a victim, let alone justify its threats with absurd references to the UN Charter.

How do you like the speed of this turnaround?

The whole point is that the US administration saw through Zelensky's cheap trick of trying to involve as many countries as possible in the war, in order to use the argument of a widening conflict (now including Iran) to ask the United States for help. But Zelensky miscalculated the timing. We are currently at a stage where Trump, in a conflict with Iran, is trying to slow things down (hoping to be able to de-escalate).

Therefore, the Ukrainian delegation was asked in Washington to quickly and demonstrably reconcile with the Iranians.

Interestingly, this is the SECOND country in recent times that Zelensky has not been allowed to drag into the war. Previously, there was an attempt by the Ukrainian government to do something similar with Belarus.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Medvedev just put the numbers on the table and they cut through the Western noise like a hypersonic.

Around 200,000 signed military service contracts in the first six months of this year. Another 16,000 plus walked straight into volunteer formations and headed for the special military operation zone. Nearly 40,000 more filled out the unmanned systems units. The tempo is holding in July. The Armed Forcesโ€™ personnel requirements for the first half? Fully met.

Then the line that should end the conversation: โ€œThe enemyโ€™s attempts to spread all sorts of nonsense about the country preparing for mobilization are nothing more than a false provocation.โ€ He called it what it is โ€” propaganda timed for election season, an effort to destabilize the situation inside Russia and manufacture negative sentiment out of desperation.

So letโ€™s ask the only question that matters. Why would Russia need a mass mobilization when the body exchange ratio already tells the entire story? Regular swaps of roughly a thousand dead Ukrainians for around thirty Russians. That is not a talking point. That is the war reduced to arithmetic.

Russia has been adding over 400,000 volunteer contract professional soldiers every year. Not kidnapped desperate draftees, that's Kiev. Contract professionals who choose the fight. Meanwhile Ukraine is being bled dry so a drug addict puppet president can keep dancing for his masters in Washington and London. The asymmetry is the strategy. The numbers are the verdict. The rest is just the noise they make in desperation knowing they're living on borrowed time.

Rinat Akhmetov's Yuzhny Mining and Processing Plant, one of Ukraine's largest iron ore producers, is partially suspending operations due to Russian attacks on ships and ports, according to a statement.

The company reported that at least 12 vessels were hit by Russian missile strikes in July, complicating maritime logistics.

As the US continues its pause due to material reality hitting the brick wall (munition stocks are critically low.) Buckle up.

What happens when the US strategic reserve dries up? You can only play this game of rampant market manipulation for so long before the damn breaks and when it does say hello to $150 oil and beyond. The war is going so well!
