F-16 for Ukraine: The Netherlands allocates €300 million for missiles for fighters
This is reported in the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands. It was noted there that the new allocation of funds will go "in addition" to 150 million euros, which were previously reserved for this purpose. The Ministry of Defense added that this applies to F-16 weapons, which are purchased directly from the industry. "Ukrainians must not only be able to fly the F-16. They must also be able to deploy the devices. That's why the weapons are crucial. With the ammunition we are buying, the F-16s can help repel Russian attacks," Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Breckelmans said under during the NATO summit in Washington.

❗️In response to the publicized fact of another execution of Ukrainian prisoners of war, proceedings have been initiated - the Prosecutor General.
On July 10, a video recording of the shooting of two captured Ukrainian defenders by Russian army soldiers was distributed on the Internet.
The recording clearly shows that the defenders of Ukraine laid down their weapons and did not offer any resistance. The occupiers cynically shoot unarmed people. Based on this fact, criminal proceedings have been initiated regarding the violation of the laws and customs of war, combined with intentional murder. According to the investigation, the crime was committed in June 2024 near the village of Robotyne in the Zaporizhzhia region, the Prosecutor General's Office said in a statement.
"Close the Ukrainian sky": in Brussels, people came to the European Parliament after the bombing of "Okhmatdyt".
💔They gathered by the building of the European Parliament to honor the memory of the dead Ukrainians after the massive Russian missile attack.
The action began with a moment of silence. After that, the participants addressed the leaders of the NATO members who gathered for the summit in Washington and called to close the Ukrainian sky.
Medvedev once more confirmed that Russia's ultimate goal is destroying Ukraine completely.
Should it succeed, Russia won't stop here.
Ukrainian victory is the pre-requisite of geopolitical security in the region.
Translation of an excerpt from Medvedev's Telegram post:
"A moderate political regime will emerge on the ruins of the preserved part of the former Ukraine.
But even this will not be the end of Russia's military operation. Even after signing the papers and accepting defeat, the remaining radicals will sooner or later return to power after regrouping their forces, inspired by Russia's Western enemies. And then it will be time to finally crush the scum. To drive a long steel nail into the coffin lid of the Banderite quasi-state. Destroy the remnants of its bloody legacy and return the remaining lands to the bosom of the Russian land.
But Russia's enemies will not go anywhere after that. They will be gathering strength and waiting for a new convenient excuse to destroy our country. We must be ready for future battles to defend the Fatherland."

Russians shot two unarmed Ukrainian prisoners of war at point-blank range - Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin.
I decided not to post the video itself, as it is very hard to watch. This is a screenshot.
According to Ukrainian investigation, it happened in June 2024 near Robotyne, Zaporizhzhia region. The recording clearly shows that Ukrainian Defenders laid down their arms and offered no resistance. Russians cynically shot unarmed people.
Criminal proceedings have been initiated for violation of the laws and customs of war involving premeditated murder.
"We know that this is not an accident. This is a deliberate policy of the criminal regime of the Kremlin to destroy everything Ukrainian. We will find and punish all those involved: both those who gave this criminal order and the direct perpetrators of this brutal crime," the Prosecutor General added.

Also, the word KENT, in Ukrainian slang, means friend.

🟠 Bloomberg report:
The US Department of Justice has opened an extensive investigation into the terrorist crimes of Hamas in the October 7 massacre and against anyone suspected of financing it, including Iran and Qatar. Investigators from the US prosecution and FBI investigators are interviewing released abductees, survivors of the massacre and family members of murdered and kidnapped, both in Israel and in the USA, in order to create a snapshot of the sequence of events on the day of the massacre.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, in a telephone conversation with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, condemned the attack on the Ohmatdyt Children's Hospital.
The Ukrainian Prime Minister noted that he informed Fico, who returned to work today for the first time after the recent assassination attempt, about the Russian attack and the destruction of Ohmatdyt.
"Robert Fico condemned this attack. Slovakia has expressed its willingness to accept some of the children for treatment. I am grateful for this support," Shmyhal said.
The parties agreed to hold the third joint meeting of the governments of Ukraine and Slovakia in the autumn on Ukrainian territory.

"It’s very difficult to lose people, to lose children. At such moments you want to kill Putin” - Zelensky
“Putin doesn’t care about what’s happening in Ukraine. The missile was not flying towards a military target, and there was nothing wrong with it. No, the rocket was flying straight at the hospital. And this is not the first time,” he said during a speech at the Ronald Reagan Institute.
The Kh-101 missile, which devastated the Ohmatdyt hospital, reportedly incorporates Western-made components, indicating the Kremlin’s effective circumvention of sanctions, according to experts and Ukrainian officials cited by the Financial Times (FT).
An analysis of Russian documents reveals that Russian firms in 2023 managed to acquire these components by purchasing them openly on the market and importing them via China.
Specialists from the Kyiv Research Institute of Forensic Examinations have identified over 30 parts and fragments belonging to the Kh-101 missile.
Russia produces almost 8 times more X-101 missiles now than before the full-scale invasion, according to the Financial Times.
On July 8, five people were killed in the ADONIS clinic as a result of a Russian missile attack on Kyiv.
◾️Svitlana Poplavska was an obstetrician-gynecologist and mother of three children.
◾️Tetiana Sharova was a senior nurse and mother. In 2014, at the beginning of the war, she and her family fled from Donetsk. Her son was in Russian captivity.
◾️Viktor Brahutsa was an ultrasound diagnostics doctor, father of two daughters.
◾️Oksana Korzh was a nurse and mother of two children. Her younger son graduated from school this year, and her older daughter recently gave birth to twins.
◾️Viktoriia Bondarenko was a senior cashier and mother of two children.
Eternal memory. Deepest condolences to the families.
