Ukraine brings back 45 more citizens from temporarily occupied territories, Russia and Belarus
Source: Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets on Telegram
Quote: "Thanks to the coordinated work of the Ombudsman's Office of Ukraine, government agencies, humanitarian organisations and international partners, we managed to ensure the safe return of 45 Ukrainian citizens from the temporarily occupied territories, as well as from the territories of Russia and Belarus."
Details: Among the evacuees were people who needed special conditions for safe movement: people with limited mobility and seriously ill citizens. They were physically unable to leave the temporarily occupied territories on their own. A total of 10 people needed urgent treatment and had severe chronic illnesses; evacuation was organised for 23 people with the use of specialised transport and medical support.
The overwhelming majority of those who returned were elderly. The oldest citizen is 93 years old.
In addition, among the returned citizens are Ukrainians who needed legal support and accompaniment, as they had lost their personal documents and were unable to cross the border on their own.
Lubinets noted that some of the returned Ukrainians were persecuted by the Russian administrations. In particular, a family whose father was abducted by the Russians and tortured, resulting in his death.Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

Retired Army officer pleads guilty to sharing classified info on Russia-Ukraine war on dating site
A retired Army officer who worked as a civilian for the Air Force has pleaded guilty to conspiring to transmit classified information about Russia's war with Ukraine on a foreign online dating platform. David Slater, 64, who had top secret clearance at his job at the U.S. Strategic Command at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, pleaded guilty to a single count before a federal magistrate judge in Omaha on Thursday. In exchange for his guilty plea, two other counts were dropped. Slater remains free pending his sentencing, which is scheduled for Oct. 8. Prosecutors and his lawyers agreed that he should serve between five years and 10 months and seven years and three months in prison, and the government will recommend a term at the low end of that range. The charge carries a statutory maximum of 10 years behind bars. U.S. District Judge Brian Buescher will ultimately decide whether to accept the plea agreement and will determine Slater's sentence. 'I conspired to willfully communicate national defense information to an unauthorized person,' Slater said in a handwritten note on his petition to change his plea. Slater had access to some of the country's most closely held secrets, John Eisenberg, assistant attorney general for national security, said in a statement. 'Access to classified information comes with great responsibility," said Lesley Woods, the U.S. attorney for Nebraska, said in the same statement. "David Slater failed in his duty to protect this information by willingly sharing National Defense Information with an unknown online personality despite having years of military experience that should have caused him to be suspicious of that person's motives.' Slater retired from the Army as a lieutenant colonel in 2020 and worked in a classified space at the base from around August 2021 until around April 2022. He attended briefings about the Russia-Ukraine war that were classified up to top secret, court documents say. He was arrested in March of 2024. In his plea agreement, he acknowledged that he conspired to transmit classified information that he learned from those briefings via the foreign dating website's messaging platform to an unnamed coconspirator, who claimed to be a woman living in Ukraine. The information, classified as secret, pertained to military targets and Russian military capabilities, according to the plea agreement. 'Defendant knew and had reason to believe that such information could be used to the injury of the United States or the advantage of a foreign nation,' the agreement states. According to the original indictment, the coconspirator regularly asked Slater for classified information. She called him, 'my secret informant love!' in one message. She closed another by saying, 'You are my secret agent. With love.' In another, she wrote, 'Dave, I hope tomorrow NATO will prepare a very pleasant 'surprise' for (Russian President Vladimir) Putin! Will you tell me?"

Ukraine pulls out of World Esports Championships after Belarus gets green light
The European Esports Championship 2025 will be held in Pristina, Kosovo, from July 9 to July 13. Ukraine will boycott the 2025 World Esports Championships in Dota 2, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (women's), and PUBG Mobile due to Belarus' participation. The Ukrainian Counter-Strike 2 team will compete, as Belarus did not qualify for this discipline. Ukraine will walk away from three big competitions at the World Esports Championships 2025 following Belarus' approval to compete. The Ukrainian Esports Federation said no to Dota 2, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang women's matches, and PUBG Mobile tournaments. The International Esports Federation permitted Belarus to compete with its national flag. Ukrainian officials didn't like this decision one bit. They said they felt bad about pulling out but had to stick to their beliefs about what's right and wrong in sports. Ukraine only pulled out, while Belarus made it through the qualifications. Their Counter-Strike 2 squad gets to play because Belarus didn't qualify for that game. This shows Ukraine picked its battles carefully instead of walking away from everything. Ukraine's Team Still Competes in One Game The Ukrainian organization TNL will send its Counter-Strike 2 players to represent the country. These players won every single qualifier they entered, which puts Ukraine in a strong spot for at least one championship. This mess shows how hard it gets when politics meets competitive gaming. International gaming groups have to figure out how to keep things fair while dealing with real-world conflicts. Belarus let Russian troops use its territory for military operations. This fact shapes how Ukraine thinks about competing alongside Belarus teams. Ukrainian sports groups have said no to events that include countries backing military moves against Ukraine. Ukraine has done this before in other sports. Judo athletes from Ukraine skipped their world championships when Belarus got permission to compete under their flag starting in June 2025. The International Judo Federation caught heat for letting this happen. Ukrainian sports bosses follow the rules from their Ministry of Youth and Sports. These rules say Ukrainian athletes can't compete when enemy nations show up with their flags. This applies to all sports, not just video games. The European Esports Championship will be held in Pristina from the 9th to the 13th of July. About 180 players will compete in Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and other popular games. This tournament decides who gets spots at the world championship. Kosovo's government and their Ministry of Youth, Culture, and Sports are backing the event in their capital city. National teams will fight for qualification spots and bragging rights in their region. Professional gaming keeps getting bigger worldwide. The International Esports Federation works with more than 140 national groups. They want governments to recognize esports the same way they do traditional sports. This situation puts international gaming organizations in a tough spot. They need to balance keeping competitions open to everyone while dealing with pressure from countries that have political problems with each other. Ukraine's choice shows how world events affect who shows up to compete in video game tournaments.

Trump give Russia ultimatum
Thank you for signing up! Subscribe to more newsletters here It's Monday. A year ago today, the Republican National Convention began in Milwaukee. This was right after President Trump's first assassination attempt, and we were all on high alert. If you want a refresher, check out my reporting from that day. In today's issue: President Trump is upping the ante with Russia to end its war with Ukraine. He has been growing increasingly frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and to that end, he just made two major announcements: 1) Secondary tariffs: Trump will impose 100 percent secondary tariffs on any country that trades with Russia unless Moscow agrees to a ceasefire with Ukraine in the next 50 days. 'We're very, very unhappy with them, and we're going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal in about 50 days,' Trump told reporters. He noted Congress wants 500 percent tariffs, so his 100 percent threat is far lower. 2) Sending weapons paid for by Europe: European countries will buy U.S.-made weapons to help Ukraine. 'In a nutshell, we're going to make top-of-the-line weapons, and they'll be sent to NATO,' Trump said alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. Yes, Rutte, the person who infamously referred to the president as 'daddy' a few weeks ago. 😅 (FWIW, he later tried to clarify it.) 📸 Photo from the room Did we see these announcements coming?: Washington had been bracing for the 'major statement' Trump had teased regarding Russia. 💬 Follow today's live blog 💻 Watch Trump's remarks ➤ WHAT ELSE TRUMP SAID DURING HIS ANNOUNCEMENT: Trump said he spoke with Melania Trump about Russia: 'I [got] home and told the first lady, 'I spoke with Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation.' She said, 'oh really? Another city was just hit,'' Trump 📹 explained. Trump's intention: 'I think this is a chance at getting peace,' Trump 📹 said in his announcement. ➤ TIDBIT — WANT TO SEE HOW THE ROSE GARDEN REMODEL IS COMING?: Construction crews began work in June to complete the Rose Garden renovation Trump ordered. It includes replacing the grass with gravel. Well, The Hill's Alex Gangitano is at the White House today and 📸posted a photo of the construction. Republicans are trying to take back billions of dollars in federal funding this week — and it could make for a potentially ugly week in the Senate. I'll explain: The Senate is expected to take up the bill, known as the rescissions package, this week before Friday's deadline. The House has already approved it. The dynamics are tricky. Some Republicans are concerned about the bill's cuts to public broadcasting and global public health programs. But President Trump threatened to withhold support for any Republican who votes 'no.' A prominent senator has concerns: Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine) and other members of the committee are not thrilled with cutting programs that have already been funded through bipartisan bills. A broader concern: The Hill's Alexander Bolton reports that 'a handful of senior Republican senators are worried about ceding even more power to the Trump administration, as Congress has already done by allowing President Trump to shutter or overhaul agencies such as the U.S. Agency for International Development or impose steep tariffs on many of the nation's trading partners without much pushback.' Read Bolton's reporting: 'GOP leader faces showdown with Republicans on Trump-backed funding cuts' What else is happening on Capitol Hill this week, via The Hill's Mychael Schnell We're learning more about what happened in the early morning of July 4 when a flash flood seemingly caught parts of Central Texas, including Camp Mystic, off guard. The Washington Post published a new report today on the circumstances that made this flood so deadly. A leader at Camp Mystic, which is located in a flood zone, got a flood alert warning of 'life threatening' conditions at 1:14 a.m. However, Dick Eastland, the camp's director, didn't begin evacuations until 2:30 a.m. The Post notes the National Weather Service's (NWS) alert didn't include an evacuation order and interviews with families indicate there was spotty cell service. Other camps also delayed their evacuations, but Camp Mystic had a higher risk. The camp had a speaker system, but it wouldn't have worked without electricity. The Washington Post also spoke with a camp counselor who recounted what happened that night. It is hard to read. Excerpt: 'A native Texan, [camp counselor Ainslie Bashara had] seen hundreds of summer squalls, but this one felt heavier. The thunder cracked like fireworks inside the cabin. … The lightning lit the room like flashbulbs, and at each strike, she scanned faces around the room. Then she noticed a car pass by, a bizarre sight at that hour. She glanced at her watch: 1:58 a.m. She soon heard another noise that, at first, felt out of place. Two nearby cabins housed Mystic's youngest campers, and the 8-year-olds had started shrieking.' Read: 'In the dark, amid screams, a Camp Mystic counselor had 16 girls and one headlamp' The New York Times reports the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) did not respond to nearly two-thirds of calls from flood survivors to the disaster assistance line. Why?: 'The lack of responsiveness happened because the agency had fired hundreds of contractors at call centers, according to a person briefed on the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss internal matters.' Timing: Contractors were laid off on July 5 once their contracts expired. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who introduced a new rule that any expense exceeding $100,000 must be personally approved by her, didn't renew those contracts for five days. The percentage of FEMA calls that were answered, per the Times: Noem defended her response this weekend: Noem denied reports of resources being delayed in Texas due to her new $100,000 sign-off rule as 'absolutely false.' She told NBC's 'Meet the Press' on Sunday that 'call centers were fully staffed and responsive.' President Trump is desperately trying to move on from the controversy surrounding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but his attempts to put to rest the conspiracy theories have backfired. His administration concluded Epstein had no client list of powerful people and that he was not murdered in jail, both theories that have long fueled conspiracies. But the reported memo debunking these questions has only sparked more intense scrutiny. A reporter asked Attorney General Pam Bondi about the Department of Justice's (DOJ) conclusions last week — and before Bondi could respond, Trump snapped at the journalist. This didn't end the discussion, so this past weekend, Trump tried another approach. He praised Bondi on Truth Social, called into Charlie Kirk's radio show to express support for his attorney general and 📸invited her to his box at the FIFA Club World Cup. But the questions are only intensifying. Far-right activist Laura Loomer, who is a strong ally of Trump, called for a special counsel to investigate the handling of the Epstein files. She told Politico late last night that she doesn't think Bondi 'has been transparent or done a good job handling this issue.' Tomorrow: In The Movement newsletter, The Hill's Emily Brooks will take a look at how the Epstein saga could affect Republicans in the midterms. Click here to sign up & get it in your inbox. Related, via The Wall Street Journal's Editorial Board: 'Now Trump Says Forget Jeffrey Epstein: He urges MAGA to give up a conspiracy tale that he and his allies promoted.' ➤ DEMOCRATS ARE ALSO TRYING TO FORCE THE FILES TO BE RELEASED: Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) called on House Republicans to demand the Trump administration release the 'FULL Epstein files.' And Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas) says he will introduce a resolution to demand the file release. There is speculation swirling that President Trump could replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell with Treasury Department Secretary Scott Bessent. The Hill's Tobias Burns reports this possibility 'is spinning heads from Washington to Wall Street.' Could this happen?: Burns published a helpful explainer on whether it is actually possible to have a dual Fed-Treasury chief. Basically, there's no law prohibiting it, but losing the Federal Reserve's independence could have serious ramifications for the economy, particularly inflation. Read Burns's reporting: 'Will Bessent serve as Fed chair, Treasury secretary at the same time?' The House and Senate are in. President Trump is in Washington.
