Ukraine is set to be the first country in the world to receive modernized French-Italian SAMP/T NG air defense systems, which could become the primary alternative to the American Patriot systems.

The Chinese side officially appealed to the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, requesting that no strikes be carried out on the part of Russian territory where a high-level Chinese delegation will be visiting.

Ukraine will not be able to switch from defense procurement from the U.S. to European manufacturers in the near future.

Pavlo Narozhniy, founder of the "Reactive Mail" Charitable Organization and a military expert, believes that the modernized Franco-Italian SAMP/T NG air defense system is currently unable to replace the American Patriot system for Ukraine.

France wants to restrict Ukraine’s purchase of non-European weapons using funds from a 90-billion-euro EU loan. In particular, American interceptor missiles for the Patriot air defense system—which Ukrainian cities need now more than ever—may be at risk.

Ukrainian political analysts believe that awarding American billionaire Elon Musk the Order of Freedom is an attempt by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to obtain permission to use Starlink to strike Russian launch sites.

Political analyst Petro Oleshchuk stated that former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov may have publicly exaggerated his influence over American billionaire Elon Musk.

Kateryna Anishchenko, a lawyer and chair of the Ukrainian Bar Association’s Committee on Military Law, Military Justice, and the Protection of Veterans’ Rights, explained how Ukrainians can obtain temporary protection in the EU following the update to the rules.

Ukrainians are actively discussing the new requirements for obtaining temporary protection in European Union countries. Starting in August, citizens applying for this status for the first time will need to prove that their departure from Ukraine was lawful.

According to Western intelligence reports, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has set his military command the task of dismantling NATO and the EU from within by 2026. And the Kremlin has chosen Moldova as the main springboard for this division.
