Institute for the Study of War: Russia unlikely able to ‘accelerate’ war despite its claims.

Russian assets frozen by the West should not be released until Moscow pays back at least 500 billion euros (over $580 billion) in compensation to Ukraine, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on July 10 in Rome.

Regional authorities reported casualties in at least six Ukrainian oblasts over the past day.

According to the Energy Ministry, the initiative will restore heating and water services to millions of Ukrainians, particularly in front-line communities.

Russia's Defense Ministry claimed its forces downed 155 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 53 over Kursk Oblast and 13 over Tula Oblast.

Ukraine has received more than $18.5 billion from frozen Russian assets this year, directing the money toward swift recovery projects, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said.

At least two were killed and 28 injured in a Russian attack on Kyiv overnight on July 10. The assault comes a day after Russia launched its largest-ever drone and missile strike against Ukraine since the start of the full-scale war.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine needs a total of 10 Patriots and voiced hope that other European partners will join the new financing scheme.

The number includes 1,040 casualties that Russian forces suffered just over the past day.

The Netherlands has pledged $350 million to support Ukraine's reconstruction and economic recovery through 2026, Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp announced July 10 at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome.

President Volodymyr Zelensky met with United States Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal on July 10, urging stronger sanctions against Russia and emphasizing the need to maintain international pressure to bring an end to Moscow's continued aggression.

President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed Russia's intention to drastically escalate its drone attacks, potentially launching up to 1,000 drones per day, but noted that Ukraine already has effective countermeasures.

Ukrainian venture capital firm Flyer One Ventures announced the first closing of its new multi-million fund, dedicated to supporting early-stage technology companies across Ukraine as well as central and eastern Europe.

Until now, the Trump administration's military aid to Ukraine had only consisted of weapons authorized by former President Joe Biden. The Presidential Drawdown Authority allows the president to directly transfer weapons from U.S. military stocks in response to an emergency.
