"Ukraine can prevail, with our help," says Dutch @DefensieMin Kajsa Ollongren at the @AtlanticCouncil.
"Russia must not win this war."
It appears Ukrainian HIMARS strikes have killed or wounded most of the leadership of the Russian 106th Airborne and 20th Motorized Rifle Divisions. Russian sources confirm the deaths of those officers.
Another angle. Reports of power loss in some areas. This place is now 35-40km from the front line, 45km from Bakhmut. HIMARS strike is likely.
Update: Ukrainian Presidential Adviser: Our response to the bombing of Vinnitsa, Kharkiv and Mykolaiv began with 3 strikes on the sites of the occupiers, and there are more.
IMF says it expects Ukraine to keep paying debt despite default speculation
The International Monetary Fund expects Ukraine to continue to service its foreign debt, an IMF spokesman said on Thursday as speculation grows that Kyiv could default on its debt as its battle against Russia's invasion rages on. At the moment Ukraine is servicing its debt in an orderly way, IMF spokesman Gerry Rice told a scheduled news briefing. "We would expect that to continue." Ukraine's state-owned gas company, Naftogaz, asked its international creditors earlier this week to allow for a two-year deferral on debt payments, fueling bets that the sovereign could follow.

RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE CAMPAIGN ASSESSMENT, JULY 14
Russia’s operational pause largely continued, with limited Russian ground assaults along the Slovyansk-Siversk-Bakhmut salient. Russian forces continued heavy shelling, missile attacks, and airstrikes all along the front line. The Russians will likely launch a larger-scale and more determined offensive along the Slovyansk-Siversk-Bakhmut line soon, but there are no indications yet of how soon that attack will begin or exactly where it will focus.
