The Azov Battalion, a special military unit under Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, released footage of Russian soldiers being attacked. According to the footage, the Azov Battalion fired a rocket at the point where a group of Russian soldiers were resting and chatting at the head of a tank, believing that there was no danger in the area. While some Russian soldiers were seen falling to the ground during the attack, no official statement has been made as to how many Russian soldiers were injured or killed during the Azov Battalion’s attack.
EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic warned that a proposed 30% US tariff on European goods would effectively amount to a trade ban, severely disrupting transatlantic supply chains.
Speaking ahead of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, Sefcovic expressed disappointment over a letter from US President Donald Trump that halted expected trade progress. “We were close to an agreement,” he said, but now “must prepare for all outcomes.”
The EU has delayed retaliatory measures on $72 billion worth of US goods until August 1, hoping for a negotiated resolution. Sefcovic emphasized that “no one wants a trade war,” while France urged faster preparation for countermeasures and Hungary blamed the EU Commission’s weak response to US pressure.
Danish and Lithuanian ministers echoed calls to avoid escalation but emphasized EU readiness to defend its interests.
