"Forcing Putin to abandon his current theory of victory and agree to end the war on reasonable terms requires Ukrainian forces to stop Russian advances and begin to retake operationally significant areas.

"NEW: The Iranian regime is pursuing a relatively unchanged nuclear negotiating position even as hardliners continue to advocate preconditions that would amount to a rejection of renewed negotiations with the United States. More: The recent fighting between Druze and Sunni Bedouin militias in Suwayda Province Syria is emblematic of the lack of trust and tension between different Syrian communities.

"NEW: The United States paused weapons supplies to Ukraine including critical air defense interceptors artillery shells missiles and rockets.

"NEW: Israeli airstrikes in Syria are unlikely to achieve Israels stated aim of protecting the Druze in Syria because the strikes do not address the root cause of attacks committed by some members of the Syrian Ministry of Defense (MoD) against the Druze. These attacks largely stem from a lack of control over undisciplined MoD units.

"Ukrainian forces are counterattacking in key areas of the front to slow Russian advances and are inflicting significant costs on the Russian military.

"NEW: The Kremlin is recycling several longstanding informational narratives including nuclear threats in a renewed effort to break the United States away from Ukraine and the NATO alliance. Western officials provided additional details about the new US-led effort to arm Ukraine.

An Israeli analyst reported on July X that Israeli airstrikes destroyed at least XX Iranian missile bases. Israel also reportedly struck several factories affiliated with Irans ballistic missile program rendering them inoperable. US and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities have likely degraded Iran's ability to develop a nuclear arsenal.

"Forcing Putin to abandon his current theory of victory and agree to end the war on reasonable terms requires Ukrainian forces to stop Russian advances and begin to retake operationally significant areas. Western aid provided in support of this effort is essential to hastening an end to the war. Ukrainian forces have been successful in holding Russian advances along the frontline to a foot pace while inflicting significant casualties on Russian forces. Putin has demonstrated throughout the past year however that he believes in a theory of victory that posits that indefinite Russian gains no"

Trump stated that "having a strong Europe is a very good thing" and that Europe thinks supporting Ukraine is important. Rutte stated that Trump's July XX announcements are building on the June 2025 NATO summit in The Hague in which NATO decided to "keep Ukraine strong" and increase Europe's defense industrial production.

"NEW: The Iranian regime is pursuing a relatively unchanged nuclear negotiating position even as hardliners continue to advocate preconditions that would amount to a rejection of renewed negotiations with the United States. More: The recent fighting between Druze and Sunni Bedouin militias in Suwayda Province Syria is emblematic of the lack of trust and tension between different Syrian communities. The governments present makeup and the history of its key members will contribute to the distrust and make it more difficult for the government to maintain security and stability along certain"

Wang met with Kaja Kallas the EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy and vice president of the European Commission on July X for the 13th EUPRC High-level Strategic Dialogue in Brussels.

"NEW: The United States paused weapons supplies to Ukraine including critical air defense interceptors artillery shells missiles and rockets. (1/2) The decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine will likely force Ukrainian forces to continue to husband materiel although the exact timing of the planned deliveries that the United States paused remains unclear at this time. The suspension of US aid to Ukraine will likely accelerate Russian gains on the battlefield as previous US aid suspensions have in the past. The suspension of US aid to Ukraine will reinforce Russian President Vladimir"

"Timely and reliable Western military assistance to Ukraine coupled with increased economic pressure is necessary to bring about an end of the war on terms satisfactory for the United States Europe and Ukraine. Well-provisioned Ukrainian forces have previously demonstrated their ability to prevent Russian forces from making even marginal gains and to retake significant territory despite Russian manpower and materiel advantages. Western military aid to Ukraine will enable Ukrainian forces to maintain if not increase their ability to inflict the significant materiel and personnel losses on the"

"MORE: Trump noted that Russia has been delaying negotiations to end the war and that the recent intensification of Russia's overnight drone and missile strikes demonstrates that Russia is not interested in peace in line with ISW's longstanding assessment of Kremlin intentions. Trump stated that he is "disappointed" in Putin and that Trump has thought that a peace settlement was close "about four times." Trump noted that Russian strikes are hitting residences in Ukrainian cities and that it will take Ukraine "years" to rebuild its damaged energy infrastructure. Trump stated that Russian"

"NEW: Israeli airstrikes in Syria are unlikely to achieve Israels stated aim of protecting the Druze in Syria because the strikes do not address the root cause of attacks committed by some members of the Syrian Ministry of Defense (MoD) against the Druze. These attacks largely stem from a lack of control over undisciplined MoD units. The United States and the E3 have reportedly set an end-of-August deadline for Iran to agree to a nuclear deal before the E3 triggers the JCPOA snapback mechanism. Iran has maintained its position on its right to enrich uranium in Iran which makes it very unlikely"

"Ukrainian forces are counterattacking in key areas of the front to slow Russian advances and are inflicting significant costs on the Russian military. Ukrainian forces conducted a series of limited counterattacks into advancing Russian forces in the Kostyantynivka and Pokrovsk directions in February and March 2025 which forced Russian units to regroup and slowed Russian advances in these areas. Ongoing successful Ukrainian counterattacks and defensive operations in the Kostyantynivka and Pokrovsk directions appear to have forced the Russian military command to reevaluate its plan for"

"Ukraine's drone-based defense remains a key feature of Ukraine's ability to constrain Russian advances. Ukrainian drone operators have created a 15-to-20 kilometer kill zone along the frontline that is currently helping prevent rapid Russian advances and inflicting significant manpower and materiel losses on Russia. The Economist recently assessed that Russia has suffered between 900000 and XXX million personnel casualties since February XX 2022 including between 190000 and 350000 killed-in-action (KIA) and Ukrainian drone operators have inflicted a significant number of these losses.

"MORE: Trump is acting upon the reality that successful US efforts to bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table require that economic instruments be coupled with Western military support to allow Ukraine to increase pressure on Russia on the battlefield. Trump stated that the Russian economy is doing "very poorly" and that Russia is using its assets for war not trade. Trump stated that Russia is wasting money and people on its war. Rutte stated that Russian forces have suffered 100000 deaths since January X 2025. ISW continues to assess that Russia's battlefield losses"

Additional Key Takeaways: The United States sanctioned XX Hong Kong-based companies that facilitate the sale of Iranian oil to entities abroad including private PRC-based refineries that are the largest buyers of Iranian oil.

"The Kremlin focuses on the battle for the mind out of both necessity and opportunity. Russia is not weak per se given its sizable military capabilities and potential. But Russia is weak relative to its strategic goals. The Kremlin uses cognitive warfare to close gaps between its goals and means. The purpose of the Kremlins cognitive warfare is to generate an alternative reality that allows Russia to win in the real world. Most of the Kremlins cognitive efforts aim to decrease the will and capability of those resisting Russia and to lower the barrier for Russia to achieve its aims"

"NEW: US President Donald Trump announced on July X that the United States would resume weapons deliveries to Ukraine as discussions about provisions of additional air defense systems and interceptors are reportedly ongoing.

"NEW: Russias Central Bank continues to posture Russian economic stability and growth to maintain the facade of economic stability by pursuing economic policies that will likely exacerbate Russias economic instability. Russia's unsustainably high payments to soldiers and impacts of the resulting domestic labor shortage will likely further destabilize the Russian economy regardless of the Kremlin's efforts to posture stability. Russian bankers are reportedly privately expressing concerns over a growing number of non-performing loans despite the Russian Central Bank's claims of economic"
