Probable Russian offensive from the North
The statement by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense Kirill Budanov about a possible Russian offensive from the north of Ukraine was incorrectly interpreted, said President Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to him, the Ukrainian side understands that such offensives could be due to the ongoing war with the Russian Federation.
However, the President of Ukraine believes that the East is the most difficult situation. In his opinion, serious work has been done in the Kharkov region to prevent a powerful offensive by the Russian Federation from the North.

Personnel changes in the government
At the same time, President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky did not rule out the possibility of personnel changes in the Cabinet of Ministers.
According to the head of state, in response to a journalist’s question whether we should expect a replacement of Prime Minister Denis Shmygal and personnel rotations in the government in the near future, Zelensky replied that Ukrainians will definitely know about them.
Weapons shipment from Germany
Germany secretly transferred to Ukraine a large package of military aid to the Ukrainian army, which included tanks, MLRS and ammunition.
According to Merkur, last week the Ukrainian Armed Forces received from Germany 10 Leopard 1A5 battle tanks, 20 Marder infantry fighting vehicles, and ammunition for tanks.

Preparation for the Second Peace Summit
Ukraine is now preparing for the second Peace Summit, which will include consideration of all 10 points of the Peace Formula, said President Vladimir Zelensky.

Also in August there will be a meeting in Turkey on free navigation and food security. And in September — in Canada about the exchange of prisoners and the return of children.
Russian patrol ships in Crimea
The last patrol ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet has left the temporarily occupied Crimea, said the speaker of the Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Dmitry Pletenchuk.
According to him, he remained there as one of the serious combat units, accompanied by support ships, which are not combat units. However, today they left the Crimean peninsula.
The speaker of the Ukrainian Navy noted that the tactics of Russian troops in the Black Sea today have been reduced to inter-base transitions — this is very important.
