🇺🇦🟠💥 At the NATO summit, the word "corruption" regarding Ukraine was not mentioned even once, according to Reznikov.

He proudly added, "This signifies that our efforts – both from the Verkhovna Rada and the established anti-corruption bodies – have been acknowledged by our partners, and the level of trust has risen."

🐻 Funny Reznikov should say that as he just bought his daughter a €7mil house in France, the Ministry of Defense, which he runs, spent almost a billion dollars on stuff it never recieved, and replacing the coat of arms on the statue in Kiev will cost...checks notes... 28 million hryvnia. 🤷‍♂️

👍 It is necessary to strike where the enemy hurts - Igor Kimakovsky, adviser to the acting head of the DPR:

➡️It is necessary to hit not on the piers, but on the infrastructure that ensures the reloading of grain: cranes, conveyors, elevators.

➡️Our answer is correct. We know that military equipment does not go along the Crimean bridge, we know that the Ukrainian side has been violating the grain deal all this time, not fulfilling any of the conditions of Russia.

🇷🇺🇺🇸The United States is not ready to announce any measures to support the movement of ships to Ukrainian ports after the statements of the Russian Defense Ministry.

This was stated at a briefing by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

Earlier today, the Russian Defense Ministry effectively declared a naval blockade of Ukraine.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Kiev has already received 10 MiG-29 fighter jets from Warsaw and it is possible that they will receive about 20 more.

Ambassador of Ukraine to Poland Vasyl Zvarych said this in an interview with Ukrinform.

💬 "So far, 10 MiG-29s have been handed over, but it is possible that Poland will hand over the rest - about 20 aircraft of this type that they still have in service. However, this will most likely happen after Poland starts receiving aircraft from Western countries."

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦🇬🇧 From Rezident_UA's Telegram Channel:

💬 "Our source within the Presidential Office has revealed that with the support of British intelligence, a plan is being developed for cargo ships to pass through the ports of the Odessa region. Currently, negotiations are underway with private companies to acquire several ships that will symbolically sail to Odessa and provoke Russia into an attack. If the cargo ships pass through peacefully, Ukraine will declare the grain corridor safe. However, if an attack on these peaceful ships occurs, Ukraine aims to launch an international campaign against Russia."

🐻 Please note that this information is based on an alleged insider information, so take it with a pinch of salt. Although it does seem plausible.

🇷🇺❌🇺🇦🌾 At least 10 foreign cargo ships are now in the ports of Nikolaev and Odessa. They have time to get out of there before midnight, otherwise Russia may consider them involved in a military conflict on the side of Ukraine reports Mash.

The ships sail under the flags of African and Asian states. Three of them are registered in Liberia, two in Hong Kong, two in Palau. One more in the Caymans, Belize and Panama.

Recall that after the end of the grain deal, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that from July 20 it will consider all ships entering the Black Sea as potential carriers of military cargo. And ships of foreign states will be considered parties to the conflict. What will happen to the ships already in Ukraine is unknown.
