Denmark is supplying Ukraine with an additional 15,000 long-range artillery shells, some of which have already arrived. This delivery follows a request from Ukraine's Defense Ministry for international partners to prioritize longer-range artillery solutions. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented that operations in Crimea are "clearly calculated," noting significant Russian losses and logistical challenges in occupied areas. He also confirmed that transponders in Belarus, previously used to guide Russian strikes, ceased functioning on June 22, though their physical removal is unconfirmed. Concurrently, the US State Department assesses that Ukraine is currently "winning the war." Separately, the State Bureau of Investigation has opened proceedings into alleged torture within the "Skelya" assault regiment, and Ukrainian forces reportedly targeted an electrical substation in Russian-occupied Crimea.

A draft law in Ukraine, ostensibly aimed at European integration and legislative harmonization, is drawing criticism for potentially curtailing public access to state information. Analysts suggest that the proposed legislation, presented as "technical improvement" or "implementation of European standards," could limit citizens' fundamental right to information about government activities. This method of introducing restrictions indirectly, rather than through overt proposals, is highlighted as a recurring pattern. The specific bill is currently undergoing review, raising concerns about transparency.
