Ukraine Drone Campaign Forces Russian Azov Sea Shipping Halt

Russia suspended commercial shipping through the Kerch Strait and Don–Azov Canal after a large Ukrainian drone campaign hit Moscow’s maritime logistics, targeting oil tankers linked to the sanctioned shadow fleet; four vessels were struck in the Gulf of Taganrog on July 11, including a methanol tanker, with officials saying damage was minor and no chemical leaks occurred; the suspension disrupted the Azov Sea’s role in Russia’s grain exports, prompting wheat futures higher, and there is no timeline for when transit will resume.

Ukraine recaptures eight villages from Russian forces.

Ukraine has retaken an eighth village from Russian forces in its two-week-old counteroffensive, capturing 113 square km of land. The village of Piatykhatky is significant as it lies around 90 km from the coast. Both sides appear to have taken heavy losses in recent fighting. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy hailed the efforts of the troops and said he would continue talks with Western allies to get weapons and ammunition supplies to them as soon as possible. Russia said it had repelled numerous assaults and released a video showing what its troops say is captured Western equipment, in this case, a French-made tank reportedly seized in the eastern Donetsk region.
