BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

    US DoD is reviewing 1,300 proposals for developing weapons they can produce to export to Ukraine

The US Department of Defense sought new proposals from 800 companies to develop new weapons, which they could potentially produce, and commercial capabilities to attempt to gain the upper hand in their proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. 

According to CNN, the US DoD is reviewing 1,300 proposals that include plans for new air defense, anti-armor, anti-tank, anti-personnel, coastal defense, drones, secure communications, and counter-battery weapons. These are all key needs that Ukraine had previously identified, read the report.

Per the report, the Pentagon will pick which options to pursue in the upcoming weeks. The main argument is that should the battle last a long period, the US plans to increase the capability of its industrial base to serve Ukraine's demands.

Earlier in US assessment of the Ukrainian Crisis

During the annual NATO summit held in Madrid, from June 28 till June 30th, US President Joe Biden said that the US is enhancing its presence in Europe for the long term to reinforce regional security given the Ukrainian crisis.

At the opening of the summit, Biden met with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in Madrid where he said that “NATO is strong and united, and the steps we’re taking during this summit, we’re going to further augment our collective strength.” The summit went on to label Russia a "threat" and China a "strategic challenge" in their new Strategic Concept paper. 

Previously in June, National security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a speech at the Center for New American Security (CNAS), a Washington, DC-based lobby group close to the Democratic Party, that the US will continue to help Ukraine “to the maximum extent possible.” Sullivan, also stated that the help his government offered has not only been on the ground but also “ultimately at the negotiating table” adding that the US believed that “this has to end with diplomacy.”

An NBC News report claimed at the beginning of June that some US and European officials were “increasingly concerned that the trajectory of the war in Ukraine is untenable” and were “quietly discussing” asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to “temper his hard-line public position” that no territory will ever be ceded to Russia.
