The weekly livestream summarized the events of the day and week. Special attention was given to renewed fighting in the Gaza Strip after a short truce ended, with the Israeli army resuming operations in response to a Hamas attack. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the war would only end once all hostages are returned and Hamas disarms.
The US and other guarantor countries reported an imminent violation of the ceasefire regime by Hamas and warned about measures to protect Gaza’s civilians.
In Ukraine, the General Staff reported strikes on Russian facilities, specifically oil and gas processing plants. There were also attacks on temporarily occupied Berdyansk. Over the week, Russia launched more than 3,270 kamikaze drone attacks on Ukraine; shelling continues.
A key political event was negotiations in Washington with participation from Volodymyr Zelensky, Donald Trump, and other US leaders. Initiatives for a possible end to the war through compromise were discussed, but the issue of territory remains highly contentious. Zelensky stressed that Ukraine will not cede its land.
The week also saw anti-Trump protests in the US, rising European defense spending due to threats from Russia, policy changes in Europe and Germany, and current debates on weapons supplies and cooperation with Ukraine.
Internal Ukrainian issues were highlighted: mobilization, election organization, territorial compromise debates, and defense funding. The importance of public analytics and broad societal support in the information struggle was emphasized.
The stream concluded with answers to questions from viewers about prospects for peace, the frontline situation, international support, reforms, and future elections. The format aims to become a regular feature, covering all key topics on politics, war, and peace in Ukraine and worldwide.
