Welcome to the Ukraine Bulletin — your investor-focused briefing on the latest geopolitical, military, economic, and defense developments in Ukraine.

In this episode:

• No Budapest Summit: After pulling Tomahawks off the table, Trump says the timing “isn’t right” for a summit with Putin. The Kremlin walks too.
• Storm Shadows Unleashed: The U.S. quietly greenlights long-range missile strikes inside Russia by shifting control to EUCOM.
• Heavy Sanctions Land: The U.S. sanctions Rosneft and Lukoil; the EU rolls out its 19th Russia package. Meanwhile, U.S. Senators introduce a bill to label Russia a State Sponsor of Terrorism if it doesn’t return 20,000 abducted children.
• Gripen Goes to Kyiv: Ukraine signs a letter of intent to buy 150 Gripen E jets. A new era for Sweden’s fighter and European defense autonomy.
