Germany to Allocate $400 Million for Anti-Aircraft Missiles for Ukraine

Germany will provide $400 million to purchase anti-aircraft missiles for Ukraine’s Patriot air defense systems.

Speaking ahead of a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that $200 million will be allocated through the PURL initiative. In comparison, the remaining $200 million will be provided through JUMPSTART, a special funding mechanism under the U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program.

The funds will be used primarily to purchase U.S.-made PAC-3 interceptor missiles, which are used by Patriot air defense systems to shoot down Russian ballistic missiles.

Zelenskyy gives Belarusian ruler a week to remove Russian drone relays: Otherwise we will do it ourselves

...
Quote: "No need for extra words. Today there are relay systems on his towers – Russian relays, Belarusian relays. What difference does it make to us? On his territory, along two oblasts bordering Ukraine, there is equipment that guides strikes against Ukrainian civilians – civilians specifically.

There is no active front line there now between Ukraine and Belarus. They are killing civilians there. The relays are installed on the relevant towers. Can he remove them? Why say he does not want to be in the war? Let him remove this equipment, let him switch it off.

I think one week will be enough for him to do this. Why do I say one week? Because our civilians are being killed every day because of this, children are being injured. If he does not do it, we will."

...

The same applies to, for example, his oil-refining industry. We are doing everything to ensure that the Russians do not have the ability to sell oil and provide diesel and fuel to their army, because all of this is being used against us.

Today he is the main supplier, or one of the main suppliers, to the Russian army. It is Lukashenko, it is Belarus. Can this be stopped? I am convinced it is within his power. And that is something he directly controls."

Key Russian gas plant engulfed in flames near Orenburg

On the night of June 24, Ukrainian drones struck the Orenburg gas processing plant and Russia’s only helium plant, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Special Operations Forces.

The mission was carried out in coordination with the underground insurgent movement Chernaya Iskra operating within Russia.

The plants are located more than 1,200 km from the front line. A fire has been reported on the premises of the facilities. The extent of the damage is being assessed.

The Orenburg Gas Processing Plant (GPP) and the Orenburg Helium Plant (OHP) form a single complex.

The GPP produces purified natural gas and sulfur (which is used, among other things, for the production of explosives and black powder).

The OHP receives purified sulfur-free gas and, through deep cooling, extracts its most valuable components—helium (an inert gas used in liquid-fuel rocket engines and guidance systems) and ethane (which is a key raw material for the synthesis of specialty plastics, cable insulation for aviation, and key plasticizers for solid rocket propellants and gunpowder).

“The legal emergency regime allows for the most rapid resolution of tasks related to ensuring the stable operation of all sectors on which the life support of the population depends,” the Kremlin-installed official added.

In one recent incident overnight on June 21–22, passengers of train No. 184 “Sevastopol–Murmansk” were unable to continue their journey to Kerch by bus due to fuel shortages. As a result, some travellers reportedly resorted to hiring taxis, with fares reaching around 12,000 rubles per vehicle (approximately $60), according to Russian media outlet ForPost.


The developments come amid what appears to be a sustained Ukrainian campaign targeting logistics infrastructure, including fuel supply chains and transport routes such as bridges and rail links.

Ukraine’s ballistic missile to hit Moscow is almost ready

Ukraine is on the verge of test-launching its first domestically produced long-range ballistic missile capable of striking Moscow, the founder of the company building it said in a rare on-camera interview filmed inside one of the firm’s production facilities, according to the Ukrainian YouTube channel Pressing.

Denys Shtilerman, chief designer and co-founder of Fire Point, said the FP-9 ballistic missile has completed all major development milestones except its solid-fuel engine, which was undergoing ground testing at the time of filming, and that the first test flight to a target in Moscow could follow shortly after a successful engine validation.

“We have everything for the FP-9, which can reach Moscow, except the engine,” Shtilerman told Pressing. “We will test the engine this month and expect to begin test flights soon. As soon as a test flight shows that everything is working properly, the next flight should be launched toward Moscow.”
