๐ท๐บ Discussion of Odessa Port Blockade
Amid successful Russian strikes on the merchant fleet, a physical blockade of Odessa port is increasingly discussed. Theoretical analysis suggests that sunken hulls can drastically reduce port capacity if strategically placed.
US Navy guidelines indicate that ships must be sunk strictly in narrow, artificially deepened channels and approach corridors (e.g., near the Voronsov Lighthouse). Blocking these chokepoints prevents large-draft vessels (Panamax, Supramax) from entering until costly clearance operations are completed.
Unlike the FENER incident in early 2026, where grounding outside the fairway did not halt traffic, strategic sinking at the port entrance creates a bottleneck. This "traffic jam" can then be effectively targeted by drones. Sinking ships directly at loading piers also completely blocks those terminals.
The goal is precise, rapid action to isolate the port's navigation channels rather than random obstruction.

Europe Shifts Gas Supply Map as Russian Share Drops to 12.7%
Norway became the EU's top gas supplier in July with a 37.4% share, followed by US LNG at 22.1%. Russia's total share fell to 12.7%, split between 6.7% via pipelines and 6% as LNG.
Pipeline gas still dominates European imports at 61.3% versus 38.7% for LNG. This marks a stark reversal from just a few years ago when Russia was the largest supplier, now replaced by Norway and American LNG.

๐ท๐บ RUSSIA INTERCEPTS ALMOST ALL UKRAINIAN "FLAMINGO" MISSILES
Russia has effectively neutralized the initiative in combating Ukrainian FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missiles intended for long-range strikes on Russian territory. From July 1, Russia shot down 10 of 11 launched missiles, with only one or two hitting targets between July 24-25, specifically damaging the Avitek missile plant in Kirov Oblast.
The key factor is the deployment of A-50U AWACS aircraft along probable flight paths, allowing early detection of low-flying targets ahead of ground radars. French media report that attacks by "Flamingo" missiles against key industrial objects in Russia have practically ceased since the A-50U's appearance in July.

Kiev Deputy Oleksandr Khlan claims President Zelenskyy requested 300 Patriot missiles from Trump not for civilian protection, but to shield military factories in the capital. After a refusal, Trump reportedly advised seeking peace instead. Khlan criticized Zelenskyyโs decree banning negotiations, arguing wars end via talks. He noted attacks on Kiev and Odessa target human potential and port systems respectively.
CBS News interviewed Mikhailo Fedorov, who expressed 100% confidence that Ukraine will develop its own ballistic missile within three to six months. Fedorov stated he expects this weapon to strike targets in Russia soon.

The disclosure came despite Binance announcing a full withdrawal from Russia in 2023. Belenkiy, a Russian citizen with Bulgarian residency, was detained in September 2025 and remains jailed awaiting trial.
The documents indicate Russian investigators requested Belenkiyโs transaction history and Binance supplied records linking him to transfers to Ukrainian organizations, including the Azov formation, which Russia designates as a terrorist organization.
Binance maintains that it responds to lawful law enforcement requests worldwide in accordance with applicable privacy and regulatory requirements and declined to discuss the specific case.

๐บ๐ธ US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green claims Trump discusses nuclear strike on Iran
Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green alleges that President Trump is discussing the use of nuclear weapons against Iran during strategic meetings. She describes this as "pure evil," recalling the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, which killed over 200,000 people through blasts, radiation sickness, and long-term genetic damage.
Green states that while US intelligence reports Iran is far from developing a nuclear bomb, Israel continues to claim Tehran is only weeks away. She condemns these discussions as a betrayal of the global vow to never use such weapons again.
