When we see them in Ukrainian skies, I think all the questions will be answered. There are two moments of principle here. First, we promised that in summer 2024 F-16s will be fighting in Ukrainian skies. This promise is fulfilled.” :: “Second, this is just the first wave. We need more jets. The issue of the first wave of supply has been resolved. We are working for the future to increase the number of F-16s that will be transferred to Ukraine, to receive other models of Western fighter jets, to receive the remaining MiG-29s that are still in service of our friendly countries and which we can receive.“ Earlier on Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the first batch of U.S.-built F-16 fighter jets are already being transferred to Ukraine from Denmark and the Netherlands and will be flying over Ukrainian skies this summer. A joint statement from the leaders of the United States, Denmark and the Netherlands said the Danish and Dutch governments were in the process of donating American-made F-16s to Ukraine.8 hours ago
- 2:29NATO allies back Ukraine, slam China to counter RussiaReuters VideosSTORY: In a major step aimed at countering what NATO allies say is a growing Russian threat, the United States will start deploying longer range missiles in Germany in two years. The two countries announced the move at NATO's summit in Washington, with U.S. President Joe Biden hailing on Wednesday pledges by member states to invest in defense. "We can and will defend every inch of NATO territory, and we will do it together." The decision will send to Germany the most potent U.S. weapons to be based on the European continent since the Cold War. A U.S.-Germany statement said the longer term plan is to station in Europe weapons such as Tomahawk and hypersonic missiles, which "have significantly longer range than current land-based fires" there. In a summit declaration released on Wednesday, the NATO member states said: "We cannot discount the possibility of an attack against Allies’ sovereignty and territorial integrity." The declaration also announced a plan to provide Ukraine with at least $43 billion in military aid within the next year. It stopped short of the multi-year commitment NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg had sought. But the group did formalize Ukraine's "irreversible path" to joining the security alliance in the document, as Stoltenberg explained at a media briefing: "The work we are doing together now will ensure that when the time is right, Ukraine can join without delay. It is not a question of if, but when." There was also strong language on China, with the 32 NATO allies jointly labeling the country a "decisive enabler" of Russia's war effort in Ukraine. "China provides dual use equipment, microelectronics, a lot of other tools, which are enabling Russia to build the missiles, to build the bombs, to build the aircrafts, to build the weapons they're using to attack Ukraine." The NATO leaders said they are "open to constructive engagement" with Beijing. But that they're also boosting their "shared awareness" against what they called China's "coercive tactics and efforts to divide the Alliance". After viewing a draft of the communique, a spokesperson for the Chinese mission to the European Union slammed the statement as full of "belligerent rhetoric" as well as "provocations, lies, incitement and smears".17 hours ago

What I can say is that we are moving together with Ukraine closer and closer to NATO membership. And we do that by concrete actions. Because Ukraine's membership is partly about the language, the wording, we will agree on later today in the NATO declaration about membership for Ukraine. But it also is very much about the concrete actions that are being taken to move Ukraine closer to membership." :: Washington, D.C. :: July 10, 2024 Stoltenberg said NATO allies were expected to agree to a "substantial" package for Ukraine and would expand other partnerships particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. Stoltenberg said the package would involve a new NATO command for Ukraine to provide security assistance and training, and a long-term pledge to continue and sustain support for Kyiv. He said there would be new announcements of immediate military support, including air defense and moves to ensure full interoperability between Ukrainian forces and NATO forces. He also said he expected allies to reiterate a commitment that Ukraine will become a member of NATO.1 day ago

The United States will make sure that when we export critical air defense interceptors, Ukraine goes to the front of the line." :: Washington, D.C. Biden, 81, has endured 12 days of withering questions about his fitness for office as some of his fellow Democrats on Capitol Hill and campaign donors fear that he will lose the Nov. 5 election after a halting debate performance on June 27.

- 2:57Ukraine mourns dozens killed in Russia air attackReuters VideosSTORY: Donations poured in on Tuesday (July 9) to help rebuild the main children's hospital in Kyiv... As Ukraine observed a national day of mourning for the more than 40 people killed a day earlier in a major Russian missile assault which struck cities across the country. The Okhmatdyt children’s hospital, one of the largest in Europe, was devastated during the attack. The U.N. rights head of mission Danielle Bell had a team on the ground. "My team spent most of yesterday at the incident site speaking with medical staff, parents of children and residents that live in the area surrounding the hospital. Analysis of the video footage and an assessment made at the incident site indicates a high likelihood that the children's hospital suffered a direct hit rather than receiving damages due to an intercepted weapon system.” The Ukrainian Security Service also said the hospital was directly hit, releasing photos on Tuesday of what it said were fragments of the Russian missile that struck it. Moscow denies this, saying the hospital was struck by Ukrainian anti-missile fire, without providing evidence. Rescue efforts at the hospital ended early on Tuesday, with two dead and dozens wounded. Flags flew at half mast in Kyiv as the search concluded. And elsewhere in the capital, dashcam footage appears to show the moment a maternity clinic was hit during an attack on Monday (July 8), where at least seven people were found dead. Rescuers also dug through the rubble of a partially destroyed residential building hit by another missile. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on messaging app Telegram that more than 100 buildings were damaged in the attack. And 400 people were involved in the rescue effort. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov repeated Moscow's insistence that it does not attack civilian targets in Ukraine. Bell said that the attack shows nowhere, including a children's hospital, is safe in Ukraine. "670 child patients, mainly inpatients, were there together with more than a thousand medical staff. At least two children were killed including a female doctor and at least 50 were injured including seven children. Staff had moved the children to a bunker yesterday morning when the air raid sirens first went off otherwise the casualties would have been much higher.” Big Ukrainian businesses rushed to announce donations for the hospital. And while there was no available figure, as of Tuesday Reuters calculations put the amount raised from Ukraine’s corporations at about $7.3 million.2 days ago

- 2:34Russian missile attack kills at least 36, Ukraine saysReuters VideosSTORY: EDITORS PLEASE NOTE: REFILING TO UPDATE DEATH TOLL. This is the moment a Russian missile hit Kyiv's main children's hospital. In a rare daytime attack, Russia launched a barrage of missiles on cities across Ukraine on Monday (July 8). Dozens were killed, officials said. Tetyana ran out of the building carrying her little girl Edri, her catheter still in place. "We came here five minutes before it all happened. We managed to get to the pedriatic ward, I don't know, it is a nightmare. I do not even know if it was a missile hit or fragments of a missile." After the strike, hundreds of local residents flocked to the hospital offering water and assistance. Svitlana and husband Volodymyr emerged from the hospital bomb shelter. Their two-month-old baby was unharmed, but Svitlana suffered cuts. "My wife has come here, she drove here, then it all started, my son began crying so she did not go to the hospital, she ran to the bomb shelter instead. Then there was the explosion. The car is no more. But we are all ok, there was not enough time for the baby to get scared. But you see what's going on here. No words, even swearwords can describe it. But what matters most is that they are alive, never mind the car, we'll buy a better one. All will be fine." Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said emergency service workers could hear people under the rubble and were racing to save them. The attack on the capital was one of the largest of the war, he added. After the attack, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who was in Poland for a news conference, held a minute of silence and said Ukraine would retaliate for the strikes. The Russian Defense Ministry said its forces carried out strikes on defense industry targets and aviation bases in Ukraine.

This one comes a day before leaders of NATO countries are due to begin a three-day summit in Washington with the war in Ukraine high on the agenda.3 days ago
