The Pentagon has discovered $2bn in additional errors in its calculations for equipment sent to Ukraine, bringing the total inaccurately valued materials to $8.2bn. This mistake was due to using “replacement value” instead of “depreciated value.” Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, has urged Hong Kong to prevent Russia from using the region to circumvent sanctions. A court in Moscow has ordered the detention of the head of a defense ministry construction division on suspicion of abuse of power. Russian and Chinese bombers flew together in international airspace off the coast of Alaska for the first time, raising concerns. The Turkish navy intercepted a marine drone in the Black Sea containing explosives, suspected to be Ukrainian. Debris from a Russian drone landed in Romania, and the Netherlands and Denmark are set to deliver 14 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine before the end of summer. These tanks were purchased last year and sent for refurbishment. This news highlights ongoing tensions and military activity in the region, with countries taking steps to support Ukraine amidst the conflict.
