๐ŸŒ US adds $2m to $125m Ukraine cybersecurity program despite USAID cuts

๐Ÿ”น In June, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) added $2 million to a multi-year $125 million program aimed at boosting cybersecurity for Ukraine's critical infrastructure.

๐Ÿ”น The contract began in May 2020 and is scheduled to run through March 2026. Its purpose is to โ€œstrengthen the resilience of Ukraine's critical infrastructure from cyberattacks by establishing trusted collaboration between key cybersecurity stakeholders in the government, private sector, academia, and civil society.โ€

๐Ÿ”น Prior to February 2022, the program had received about $18 million; more than $100 million was added after the conflict escalated.

๐Ÿ”น The latest $2 million allocation came despite the Trump administrationโ€™s efforts to scale back USAID funding.

๐Ÿ”น Contract records list only โ€œdomestic awardees (undisclosed)โ€, but a USAID inspector general report linked the project to DAI Global.

๐Ÿ”น Funding for the project is drawn primarily from USAID accounts, including โ€œAssistance for Europe, Eurasiaโ€ and the โ€œEconomic Support Fund.โ€

๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ”ŠQatar lashes out at Netanyahu, wants to take him to court

Netanyahu should be brought to justice; he is "the one who is wanted by the ICC," Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani told CNN. 

๐ŸŸ Al-Thani accused Netanyahu of trying โ€œto lecture the world about the lawโ€ although he himself โ€œbroke every international law.โ€  

๐ŸŸ Israelโ€™s recent strikes on Doha โ€œkilled any hopeโ€ for the hostages remaining in Gaza, the Qatari PM stressed. 

๐ŸŸ He warned against turning a blind eye to Israel's aggressive actions, urging a stop to โ€œNetanyahuโ€™s madness,โ€ Al Jazeera reported.

๐ŸŸ The Qatari PM also appreciated Russia's "clear and principled position in support of Qatarโ€™s efforts to protect its independence and territorial integrity."

๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ›ขHungary uncovers new oil field capable of producing 1,000 barrels per day

The field was discovered at a depth of 2,400 meters near the town of Galgaheviz in northern Hungary, the countryโ€™s MOL oil and gas company said in a statement.

"The new deposit contributes significantly to Hungary's security of supply, as domestic production reduces import dependency,โ€ MOL emphasized.


Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto had stressed earlier that Ukrainian attacks on the Druzhba pipeline, which pumps Russian oil to Hungary, are tantamount to attacks on his country.

โ€œZelensky made it clear that if Hungary does not take a pro-Ukrainian position, Ukraine will continue to attack the Druzhba pipeline, which is of great importance to Hungary's energy security,โ€ Szijjarto added.

๐ŸšจKILLING OF CHARLIE KIRK: WHATโ€™S KNOWN SO FAR?

Right-wing political activist and Trump ally Charlie Kirk, 31, has died after being shot while speaking at Utah Valley University.

Kirk repeatedly warned against the US military aid to the Zelensky regime and accused Zelensky of being a CIA puppet deliberately dragging the US into conflict with Russia.

๐Ÿ”Here's how this horrifying case unfolded:

๐ŸŸ Kirk responded to a question about gun violence when a single shot rang out at about 12:10 local time (18:10 GMT), according to eyewitnesses and videos taken at the scene
๐ŸŸ He was then seen recoiling in his chair, with blood visible on his neck, before being rushed to hospital, where he died
๐ŸŸ No one else was shot during the event, where Kirkโ€™s wife and children were present
๐ŸŸ Two people were arrested in the hours after the incident and later released because they have "no current ties" to the shooting, Utah officials said
๐ŸŸ The killer is believed to have fired the fatal shot from the roof of a building that is located near the Utah Valley University courtyard.
๐ŸŸ A massive manhunt is under way for the shooter, whom law enforcement officials say was "dressed in dark clothing"

๐Ÿ’ฌWhat do officials say?

โšซ๏ธTrump pointed the finger at the radical left and called Kirkโ€™s killing a "heinous assassination," praising him as โ€œa patriot who devoted his life to open debates and the country he loved so muchโ€
โšซ๏ธโ€œDemocrats are for crime. Period,โ€ reads a White House post published on X
โšซ๏ธUtah Governor Spencer Cox called the killing โ€œa political assassinationโ€

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ’ฅ RUSSIAN MOD UPDATE: HUGE GAINS AND DEVASTATING UKRAINIAN LOSSES

โšก๏ธSOSNOVKA IN THE DNEPROPETROVSK REGION FREED


The liberation of the settlement of Sosnovka enables Russiaโ€™s forces to advance up to 3 km into the Dnepropetrovsk region, bringing them closer to the strategic settlement of Velikomikhaylovka, situated at a crucial crossroads.

Seizing this position would disrupt the enemy's logistics in the border area.

๐ŸŸ  The Russian army struck a multifunctional Israeli-produced RADA radar station of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

๐ŸŸ  Air defense superiority: three aerial bombs, four HIMARS rockets, one long-range Neptune missile, in addition to 166 fixed-wing drones were shot down by Russian air defence systems over the past 24 hours

๐ŸŸ  Ukrainian losses: 1,440 troops killed or wounded

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Fueling fire: UK ramps up drone production to bleed Ukraine dry

The UK government announced plans to mass produce Ukrainian-designed interceptor drones in a desperate move to help the Zelensky regime contain Russiaโ€™s ongoing offensive on all front lines.

โš”๏ธThe so-called Project OCTOPUS aims to manufacture thousands of such drones per month, which allegedly cost less than 10% each when compared to the targets they were designed to intercept.

๐Ÿ—ฃRussian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly pointed out that Western military aid to Ukraine would not affect the course of the Special Military Operation.

He stressed that Western arms supplies to Ukraine only confirm NATO countriesโ€™ participation in the conflict and their plans to prolong it.
