If Russia does not extend the grain deal, it will have a significant negative impact on its reputation, according to Jacob Sullivan, the US National Security Advisor. Sullivan believes that the rest of the world will view Russia as having abandoned its responsibility to provide affordable food to countries in the Global South, Africa, Latin America, and Asia. He believes that this will lead to a large diplomatic cost for Russia in the future, and that President Putin will have to make a decision.

Estonia's Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur has stated that in order to be prepared for a potential conflict, the country will be increasing its defense spending to 3 percent of GDP and will be purchasing more than 1.2 billion euros worth of ammunition over the next four years. This decision has been made in light of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, which has highlighted the need for increased defense capabilities.

The Washington Post reported that before launching a counteroffensive, Ukraine had received less than 15% of the necessary equipment for demining. This is a major obstacle to the Ukrainian offensive, as the area in front of Russian positions is estimated to be between 5 and 16 kilometers wide and is heavily mined, resulting in significant losses of personnel and equipment for the Ukrainian army.

The final shipment under the grain deal is departing from the port of Odesa, according to Reuters. As a reminder, Russia has not accepted any new vessels since June 27, and the current authorization is set to expire on July 17. A spokesperson for the United Nations stated that Secretary-General António Guterres is awaiting a response from President Putin regarding a proposal to extend the agreement.

The Commission's inspection revealed that 15% of all bridges in the capital are in a state of disrepair, with the Metro and Paton bridges being particularly at risk of collapse due to intense destruction of the protective layer of concrete, corrosion, visible locks, and destruction of reinforcement on the Paton Bridge, and intense metal corrosion on the structure and unprotected metal beams on the Metro Bridge.

Air Force spokesman Yuriy Ihnat stated during the telethon that air defense systems cannot effectively protect residential buildings from drones and missiles. He noted that Ukraine does not have enough air defense systems to cover the entire country, so they must be densely deployed around individual settlements. As a result, after shooting down enemy air targets, their wreckage may fall in cities.
