Today, Ukraine celebrates Statehood Day. Ukrainian statehood is the legacy of thousands of years, formed by the hard work of countless generations. It embodies the eternal Ukrainian values: freedom, liberty, dignity, justice, democracy, and independence. Russia continues its attempts to erase Ukrainian identity, but by celebrating this day, Ukraine underscores that our values cannot be broken. On this day, Ukrainians come together to honor the history of their people, to celebrate their achievements, and to reaffirm their choice to be free, to be Ukrainian in their own country, on their own land.

An RBS-17 (AGM-114C Hellfire) missile was launched at a Russian ground target. Sweden has supplied this laser-guided missile system to Ukraine.

❗️Ukraine plans to finalize a plan with all 10 points of the peace formula for the second Peace Summit. "At the end of July and the beginning of August, there will be the first meeting at the ministerial level and with security advisers to discuss the conclusions of our peace summit. The first meeting will most likely be in Qatar and will focus on energy security. A comprehensive plan for energy security will be prepared," said President Zelenskyy. In August, there will be a meeting in Türkiye regarding free navigation and food security. In September, there will be a meeting in Canada on the exchange of prisoners and the return of children. A plan will be ready for these points as well. If these steps are successful, a complete plan for all 10 points of the peace formula will be finalized.

‼️ Yesterday, Russian foeign minister Lavrov said he intends to raise the issue of the list of people killed in 2022 in Bucha, Kyiv region, and will ask the UN Security Council to show the list of those killed in Bucha. 🚨 I urge all journalists, investigators, politicians, who were in Bucha after de-occupation and saw the crimes of the Russians with their own eyes, not to stay silent. "Of course, we will talk about how the West is trying to manipulate everyone and everything," Lavrov said. At first glance, this may seem rather strange, because the Russian crimes in Bucha have been well documented and studied in detail. And not only by Ukrainian side, but first of all by international investigators from the first days of de-occupation. The names of Russian soldiers, who killed and tortured Ukrainians, were identified. Why did Lavrov raise this issue now, after the Russian shelling of the Okhmatdyt children's hospital in Kyiv? The fact is that it is now very convenient for Russia to use its chairmanship of the UN Security Council to discredit the West and Ukraine. So, next week in New York, they want to accuse Ukraine and its allies of "manipulation" and "false accusations of war crimes in Ukraine against Russia." ‼️ The situation where Russia - a war criminal and terrorist country - is at the UN, presiding over it and calling Ukraine - a victim of its crimes - to "responsibility" is insane and as cynical as it can get ‼️ Lavrov and his bosses in the Kremlin want their insane version of Russia's war against Ukraine to remain in history: "Russia did not attack Ukraine, it was defending itself. It was NATO that attacked Russia. All war crimes against civilians in Ukraine are staged. Russia is not shelling Ukrainian cities, it is Western air defense." In Russia, the population already believes these narratives of Russian propaganda. Now, Russia wants the rest of the world to believe it. And Russia has a platform for its propaganda - the UN. Also, sadly, there are journalists and politicians willing to spread Russian narratives for blood money and preferences. It is vital to uncover and debunk these attempts as much as possible. Only facts, truth and maximum attention can defeat these lies and prevent Russian propaganda, the nonsense that is heard daily from Russian TVs, from becoming true for people who live outside Russia. https://x.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1812794559509790975?t=SPXYdr1f2O6Jey7GICIU0A&s=19

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán presented his "peace plan" to EU leaders, according to Balázs Orbán, the political director of the Hungarian government. He stated that from the trips to Kyiv and Moscow, it became clear that both Ukraine and Russia are determined to continue the conflict. Consequently, Hungary began negotiating with potential mediators, including China, Turkey, and Donald Trump. When will this clown understand he is unwanted in this process? https://magyarnemzet.hu/belfold/2024/07/orban-balazs-ha-europa-beket-akar-most-kell-az-iranyvaltast-kidolgozni
