During the NATO summit, the European Union and 21 other countries signed the Ukraine Compact, which will coordinate and accelerate their defense assistance to Ukraine. The agreement provides for the implementation of the goals specified in the bilateral agreements of Ukraine. The signatories pledged to support Ukraine’s defense by providing military equipment, finance and training for Ukraine’s military. US President Joe Biden said that the Ukraine treaty unites allied states in a single comprehensive security architecture to support Ukraine not only now, but for years to come.
The Russians tried to kill the head of the powerful German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall, Armin Papperger. This concern is actively supplying weapons to Ukraine and plans to open a joint Ukrainian-German production facility. The United States and Germany blocked Russia’s plans, CNN reported, citing five American and Western officials familiar with the matter. The assassination attempt was one of a series of Russian plans to kill defense industry executives across Europe who were supporting Ukraine’s war effort, the sources said. The plan to kill Armin Papperger is better prepared.
The head of the Canadian government, Justin Trudeau, announced a new package of military support for Ukraine worth 500 million Canadian dollars. The head of the Canadian government also emphasized that his country is ready to provide the necessary medical support to those injured as a result of the Russian attack on the Okhmatdyt children’s hospital in Kyiv. In addition, Trudeau and President Zelensky exchanged views on the possibility of further training for Ukrainian pilots in Canadian flight simulators and holding one of the thematic meetings in Canada following the results of the first World Summit.
The US Department of Defense announced the allocation of another military aid package to Ukraine in the amount of $225 million. It includes a battery of Patriot surface-to-air missiles, as well as missiles, ammunition, Javelin systems and spare parts.
Denmark will move all of its air defense assets to Ukraine to help defend against Russian missile attacks. Danish Prime Minister Matte Frederiksen announced this at the NATO summit. Frederiksen recalled that Denmark had previously decided to move all its artillery to Ukraine. This was done because Ukrainian defenders “use it better than Denmark.” “And now we must do the same with air defense,” added the head of the Danish government.
The Norwegian government has also allocated 1 billion Norwegian kroner (more than $93 million) to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense. In the autumn, together with Germany, Norway will transfer a full-fledged IRIS-T anti-aircraft battery to Ukraine.
Denmark financed the production of 18 Ukrainian self-propelled artillery units (SPG) Bogdan for the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The Ministry of Defense of Denmark recalled that the Minister of Defense Trols Lund Poulsen in the spring submitted an initiative for Denmark, in cooperation with Ukraine, to place orders directly with the Ukrainian defense industry. The first batch of 18 Bogdan howitzers, funded by Denmark, is expected to be delivered in the coming months.
In France, a fire broke out in the spire of the famous cathedral in the city of Rouen, which was built in the 12th-16th centuries. The cathedral was evacuated. The cause of the fire is still being investigated. But there is information that the repair was carried out on the spire. By nightfall the fire was extinguished.
The European Union fully supports the Ukrainian Peace Formula and considers it the only peace plan. EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Josep Borrell said this at the NATO summit. “For those who complain that supporting Ukraine will only contribute to the war, I say to them: if we stop supporting Ukraine, the war will definitely end. And soon. But how? The surrender of Ukraine ?In a puppet government in Kyiv? The Ukrainian people were crushed by the aggressor?
The anniversary of the NATO summit confirmed that the Alliance has a “confrontational essence”, and its expansion into the territory of Ukraine “is a threat to the existence of Russia.” This point of view was expressed by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. He called the summit declaration a serious threat to Russia’s security. “If we simplify the words, NATO’s decision that Ukraine will definitely become a member of this Alliance, then it is clear that one of the main goals of the Alliance is to suppress Russia, to inflict a strategic defeat in Russia,” believes Peskov. According to him, Moscow will “deeply analyze the decisions made” in Washington.
Peskov also clarified his position regarding the second Peace Summit. According to him, Russia is ready for dialogue on the “Ukrainian settlement,” but Moscow must understand what will be discussed at the second Peace Summit.
