A sobering message from one of the Ukrainian voices :

“It’s deeply symbolic that Donald Trump chose to halt air defense supplies to Ukraine first. Thanks to this decision by the U.S. president, more civilians will now die — the same young people who could have lived, who didn’t have to die in this war, no matter how much that old blowhard pretended to care.

Halting missile defense won’t break Ukraine’s resistance, but it will bring the war much closer to all of us.

For the past six months, we’ve woken up each day dreading what the Great Senseless American figure would announce once he opened his eyes. Now, every night, we’ll be waiting for missiles and drones. They will hit our cities more often, all thanks to the “big beautiful” decision of the most disgraceful president in U.S. history — Donald Trump.

Right now in Moscow, Tehran, Budapest, Beijing, and Pyongyang, they’re opening champagne and dividing up trophies that haven’t even been taken yet.

Meanwhile, in Brussels, Berlin, and Paris, they hesitate: should they issue another “deep concern” statement or finally listen to their instinct for self-preservation and help Ukraine more decisively?
Yes, we’ll sleep less. And not all of us will survive. But we are of Cossack blood. And when we cross that line where death comes close, we somehow stop caring about it altogether. It’s in our genes.

You still don’t understand who you’re dealing with. You may try to profit politically from our pain, but Americans won’t forget. And neither will we.”

………………

North Korea plans to send up to 30,000 troops to fight in Ukraine.

Most likely, North Korean forces will be deployed to combat operations on russian-occupied Ukrainian territory to reinforce russian troops.

New reports indicate that the U.S. has suspended the transfer of weapons to Ukraine that were already in Poland.

The shipments were already en route, but the Pentagon has stopped them. The weapons included more than two dozen Patriot PAC-3 missiles, over two dozen Stinger air defense systems, Hellfire air-to-ground missiles, and more than 90 AIM air-to-air missiles.

By now, it is completely clear that Trump’s goal is the destruction and capitulation of Ukraine. Essentially, this is aiding russia’s genocide against Ukraine.

………………

Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick wrote a letter to President Trump requesting an emergency briefing from the White House and the Department of Defense regarding the Pentagon’s recent withdrawal of aid to Ukraine.

“I am writing to express my serious concern with recent public reporting that the United States is withholding defense material already pledged to Ukraine and amid Russia’s unyielding summer assault. Persistent air strikes launched by the Putin regime against civilian targets are escalating at an unprecedented level. Just this week, Russian forces launched over 500 aerial weapons, making it the largest strike against Ukraine since the beginning of the war.

The U.S.’s provision of Patriot air-defense interceptors, air-to-air missiles, Hellfire air-to-ground missiles and surface-to-surface rockets, artillery rounds, and Stinger surface-to-air missiles have allowed Ukraine to effectively counter Russian offensive strikes and limit the loss of human life. While the United States needs continue to strengthen our Defense Industrial Base here at home, we can and must simultaneously provide urgently needed assistance to our allies who are defending their freedom from brutal invading dictators. To not do both is unacceptable.

Mr. President, Ukrainian soldiers and pilots are not just protecting their homeland-they are holding the line for the entire democratic world. This is a defining moment: Ukraine’s courage must continue to be met with action, and the United States must continue to lead with clarity and purpose. There can be no half-measures in the defense of liberty. We must, as we always have, stand for peace through strength.

I respectfully request an emergency briefing from the White House and the Department of Defense on the Pentagon’s recent review of our nation’s weapons and munitions stockpiles, as well as the decision to withhold urgent, lifesaving military assistance to Ukraine.”
