NATO Summary, Attacks on Russian Nuclear Plants

Ukraine battle update - 14th July 2023

NATO
Summit completed. No time table, no membership action plan, worse than 2008 Bhucarest invitation.

However, no timetable or detail was provided - again leaving Ukraine with promises of future support but no definition.

President Zellensky - NATO disappointed, frustrated - calling the lack of timetable for admission “unprecedented and absurd”

G7 - France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada , and the European Union (EU) - The G7 brings together the world's advanced economies to influence global trends and tackle pervasive and crosscutting issues, as well as emergent global crises

“We will stand with Ukraine as it defends itself against Russian aggression, for as long as it takes.”
Outlining how the G7 will support Ukraine over the long term, the joint statement said the countries will ensure “a sustainable force capable of defending Ukraine now and deterring Russian aggression in the future” by providing modern military equipment across land, air and sea, training for Ukrainian forces, and intelligence sharing.

Again…, no timetable or detail was provided - again leaving Ukraine with promises of future support but no definition.

The West is not ready to get into a war with Russia and they know it - hence their reluctance to push ahead with a firm timetable.

Ukrainian retaliation?
Politico reports - Kyiv is unlikely to renew a gas transit deal that allows Russia's Gazprom to export natural gas to the EU using pipelines running across Ukraine, Energy Minister German Galushchenko told POLITICO.
The 2019 transit deals runs until the end of 2024 and allows Gazprom to export more than 40 million cubic meters of gas a year via Ukraine, which earns Kyiv about $7 billion.
“I believe, by the winter of 2024, Europe will not need Russian gas at all,” Galushchenko said in a telephone interview. “If now profits from Russian gas pay for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and Gazprom’s private army, the only thing they should pay for in the future shall be reparations.”
