Border strikes widen as Russia targets Ukraine’s Moldova routes to choke trade

ISW assesses that Russia is escalating strikes on Ukraine-Moldova border infrastructure to disrupt ground routes (GLOCs) and grain exports, part of a broader effort to isolate Ukraine from Europe and deter Moldova and regional partners, while continuing attacks on Ukrainian port infrastructure. Moscow is also pushing a decree on temporary management of critical infrastructure and pursuing the Rassvet satellite program. In Ukraine, forces maintain a long-range strikes campaign against Russian energy assets and report battlefield activity across Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions amid widespread drone and missile attacks affecting civilian and transport infrastructure. Belarus shows no significant change in activity per ISW. The report also references high-profile Western attention to Russia’s actions, including a visit by the CIA director to Moscow.

Ukraine expands drone strikes on Russia's Ozon logistics hubs

Ukraine intensified its drone campaign against Russia by striking four Ozon logistics hubs in southern Russia, part of Kyiv's effort to disrupt supply networks supporting Moscow's military. Debris damaged a private childcare centre in Krasnodar, killing two children and injuring nine people (including seven children), while several facilities were evacuated and operations suspended. Ozon's stock fell sharply on the Moscow Exchange as the attacks continued; Kyiv says the warehouses store dual-use goods aiding Russia's war effort, while Russia condemns the strikes.

Rubio Shifts Focus to Hemisphere as Global Crises Mount

The article contends that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stepped back from leading on Iran, Gaza, and Ukraine-Russia crises, instead prioritizing Latin America (Cuba and Venezuela). It cites concerns from former officials about a dysfunctional decision-making structure and notes that private envoys like Jared Kushner have taken the lead on major issues, potentially weakening long-term U.S. diplomacy.

Ukraine Gains Ground in South as Russian Losses Mount

Ukrainian officials say Russia suffered about 42,860 killed or wounded in July, with total Russian losses since the invasion around 1.46 million and a record 13,998 military vehicles lost; Kyiv also announces a successful counteroffensive in the southern front, reclaiming roughly 745 sq km across 26 settlements and clearing another 300 sq km of “gray zone” territory. The UN reports July 2026 as the deadliest month for Ukrainian civilians, with 437 killed, though Ukraine says the civilian toll could be higher. Independent observers corroborate some territorial gains but cautions on exact figures; Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russian logistics to degrade supply lines, while analysts note Kremlin reports of gains often outpace reality.
