Europe drafts plans for troops in Ukraine, U.S. approves long-range missile transfers, and Ukraine’s new Flamingo cruise missile enters combat. Get the sharp 5-minute update from today’s Ukraine Bulletin — strategic, focused, and investor-ready.

Powered by the Pravo Intelligence Hub Welcome to the Ukraine Bulletin, your investor-focused briefing on the latest geopolitical, military, economic, and business developments in Ukraine.

In this episode:

  • Guarantees First: Washington and Europe move from pledges to concrete security-guarantee planning — including multinational troop options and layered deterrence. Moscow rejects NATO/EU involvement, pushing instead for Russia and China as “guarantors.”
  • Standoff Firepower: The U.S. approves 3,350 ERAM standoff missiles for Ukraine, backed by Denmark, Norway, and the Netherlands. France and Germany commit further air-defense systems after mass strikes on Kyiv.
  • Flamingo Debut: Ukraine launches its first FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missile strike against Russian targets in northern Crimea, after HUR intelligence units degraded air defenses on the peninsula.
  • Frontline Snapshot: Pokrovsk–Dobropillia axis holds stable under Ukrainian counteractions, while Kupyansk faces renewed Russian pressure — incremental advances but no breakthrough.
