US halts arms transfer to Ukraine — Weapons were already in Poland

>The decision by the Donald Trump administration to suspend part of the military aid to Ukraine concerned weapons that were already stored in warehouses in Poland, according to The Wall Street Journal. According to WSJ, sources in the White House and Congress said that, at the time the deliveries were halted, 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 were located in Poland.<

A Ukrainian aid group told Newsweek the White House's recent move to pause weapons deliveries to Kyiv was "dangerous and irresponsible." The munitions had already landed at the Rzeszow, Poland airport where they are next loaded into Ukraine-bound trains. Does Trump wear knee-pads as he blows Putin?

"Dangerous" US halt to Ukraine aid could see Russian battlefield gains

The White House said the decision to halt some weapons deliveries to Kyiv was made "to put America's interests first."

>Ukrainian aid group said the White House's recent move to pause weapons deliveries to Kyiv was "dangerous and irresponsible." It has prompted bipartisan criticism in the U.S. and Yuriy Boyechko, CEO and founder of Hope for Ukraine, predicted it would mean an increase in Ukrainian civilian casualties. The D.C.-based think tank Institute for the Study of War said the U.S. halt of weaponry on air defense interceptors, artillery shells, missiles and rockets would lead to Russian gains as previous American aid suspensions have in the past.<

The Trump administration's excuse... that the US is low on munitions, is the excuse that had to be used since it is an assertion not easily verifiable by the US media. But if true, it is an indictment of the Trump administration for being unprepared for war with a major power like China et. al.

Russia's officials keep contradicting Putin on war economy

The head of Russia's biggest bank warned of economic troubles despite Putin's more positive spin.

>Russia's economy faces a tough 2026, the head of the country's biggest bank has said in the latest official warning about the country's finances, which is at odds with Vladimir Putin's rosier public pronouncements. German Gref, CEO and chairman of the executive board of Sberbank, said a spike in inflation and the high key interest rate were problems that could not be solved quickly. At Sberbank's meeting on Monday, Gref said the quality of his bank's loan portfolio is deteriorating, with a growing number of requests for debt restructuring by retail and corporate borrowers. Meanwhile, economy minister Reshetnikov said current business sentiment pointed to Russia being on "the brink of transitioning into recession." Meanwhile, a banking crisis in Russia looms because of growing defaults not yet reflected in official statistics, with problem loans possibly reaching 3.7 trillion rubles ($47.3 billion) or one-fifth of the banking system's capital, according to Bloomberg. Current and former banking officials told the outlet there is a growing risk of a debt crisis in the next year if circumstances don't improve.<

Russia's economic problems can only get worse as the war drags on. Donald Trump could put a wooden stake in Russia's economy with tougher sancrtions, but Trump is busy exploring Putin's trousers.

>On the night of July 3, drones targeted the Energia plant in the city of Yelets, Lipetsk region, Russia. The facility manufactures batteries used for missile guidance and control, as well as for the Iskander missile system, says Andrii Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD). “The Energia plant in Yelets, Lipetsk region, was attacked,” he stated. The Energia plant plays a crucial role as the only remaining manufacturer of batteries for guidance and control modules used in aerial bombs. In addition, the facility produces batteries for the Iskander-M missile system, sea-launched cruise missiles, and universal batteries used in the power supply systems of specialized military equipment.<

Strike four such targets every day.
