Key Takeaways from the ISW:
- US President Donald Trump announced on July 10 that the United States will sell NATO weapons, including air defense systems and interceptors, that NATO can then give to Ukraine.
- Ukraine’s European allies continue to provide additional aid and pursue joint production initiatives with Ukraine’s defense industrial base (DIB).
- Ukraine continues to expand its production and innovation of interceptor drones for use against Shahed-type drones.
- Ukrainian intelligence assesses that Russian forces are unlikely to realize the Kremlin’s goal of seizing the entirety of Donetsk Oblast by the end of 2025, which is consistent with ISW’s ongoing assessment of Russia’s offensive capabilities.
- Kremlin officials continue to justify the Kremlin’s ongoing censorship efforts and appear to be seizing on Russia’s hypercontrolled information space to push the Kremlin’s informal state ideology.
- Ukrainian forces advanced near Kupyansk, Lyman, and Novopavlivka. Russian forces advanced in northern Sumy and western Zaporizhia oblasts, and near Kupyansk, Lyman, and Toretsk.
