- 🧵 In der Zeitschrift OSTEUROPA habe ich eine Analyse über die jüngsten Angriffe auf die 🇺🇦 Antikorruptionsbehörden NABU und SAPO veröffentlicht. Die Ereignisse in Kürze: Die Behörden und die kritische Zivilgesellschaft (wie @AntAC_ua) stehen bis heute unter massivem Druck. /1
- Last week I joined Al Jazeera English’s Inside Story to discuss Russia’s hybrid war against Europe — and how far Europe and Ukraine are from a genuine diplomatic solution to Russia’s war of aggression. 🎥 www.aljazeera.com/video/insid... 1/6

- Last night, Russia launched a sad record of (previous record 741, 9 July 2025) 805 strike drones and 13 missiles at targets across Ukraine. The 🇺🇦 air defense neutralized 751 targets out of 818 incoming targets. Hits of 9 missiles and 56 strike drones at 37 locations were recorded.

- Ukraine’s accession to the EU hinges on a variety of factors. The fight against corruption is one of the most important. That’s why we as the German-Ukrainian Bureau were happy to have helped the leaders of the NABU & SAPO with their program in Berlin briefing key stakeholders. /1
- 🧵 New RTL/ntv poll reveals German public opinion on Ukraine conflict: 53% of Germans believe Ukraine should be willing to cede occupied territories to Russia for a peace deal - virtually unchanged from spring 2025 (54%). 39% oppose territorial concessions. 1/4
- In recent weeks, Ukraine stepped up attacks against Russian oil processing and exports, creating a gasoline shortage in parts of Russia. Attacks on 10 plants disrupted at least 17% of RU's refinery capacity, or 1.1 million barrels per day, according to Reuters. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
- Putin’s motivation is simple, even if Witkoff and Trump do not really understand it: He seeks to dominate Ukraine, seize what pieces of it he can, and eradicate its democratic government and national independence, Eliot Cohen writes. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
- No concessions WHATSOEVER: Putin is demanding that Ukraine give up all of the Donbas, renounce ambitions to join NATO, remain neutral and keep Western troops out of the country, three sources familiar with top-level Kremlin thinking told Reuters. www.reuters.com/world/china/...
- Another night of RU terror. A total of 614 drones and missiles were launched against targets across Ukraine. Of the 574 drones and simulators and 40 missiles a total of 577 were intercepted. Hits are reported in 11 different locations with multiple casualties.
- Interesting article on the importance of the Kramatorsk/Slovyansk fortress belt, the loss of which as a result of a deal with Mr Putin is unthinkable for most Ukrainians. Controlling it would open RU a viable path to Central Ukraine, Dnipro & Kharkiv... www.economist.com/europe/2025/...
