On July 19, in Russian-occupied Luhansk, a series of powerful explosions rang out near the aviation school.

Points of attention

  • The illegitimate authorities of Luhansk have traditionally accused Ukraine of the explosions at the alleged base of the occupiers.
  • The SBU together with the Armed Forces Navy successfully used drones to attack the Russian coast guard base on Lake Donuzlav in Crimea, hitting the equipment and firing positions of the occupiers.
  • As a result of the drone attack on the Russian coast guard base in Crimea, the headquarters, ammunition depot, electrical substation and other objects of the enemy base were damaged.

A column of smoke rose over occupied Luhansk

Currently, a column of smoke has risen over the city, in particular in the district aviation school.

Local Telegram channels shared photos and videos of the consequences of the flight.

According to the media, the explosions and fire occurred in the area of the aviation school, where the base of the occupation forces of the Russian Federation is currently located.

The illegitimate local authorities immediately cynically announced the "attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine" and reported on the work of air defense.

Currently, emergency and rescue services and investigative bodies of the aggressor country are arriving at the scene of the explosions.

SSU drones hit a Russian military base in Crimea

On the night of July 18, naval and aerial drones of the SSU struck the Russian Coast Guard base on Lake Donuzlav in Crimea. The Security Service of Ukraine worked together with the Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, sources inform.

Last night, the occupation naval forces of the Russian Federation conducted training on the protection of the water area of Lake Donuzlav in Crimea. Thanks to SSU drones, these exercises became a failure, because the Russians were unable to protect even their base, not to mention the water area of the lake.

According to sources, as a result of the combined attack of sea and air drones on the base of the Coast Guard of the Russian Federation, the following were damaged and disabled:

  • headquarters with a control point;

  • warehouse of ammunition and equipment;

  • electric substation;

  • technical facilities;

  • firing positions of the occupiers of the Russian Federation.

The Hungarian government plans to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, a process that could take up to a year.

Points of attention

  • Hungary is planning to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, a process that could take up to a year.
  • The Hungarian government's decision to potentially leave the ICC is not surprising, given its alignment with the policies of US President Donald Trump.
  • The Minister of Justice, Bence Tujon, announced Hungary's intent to withdraw from the ICC, sparking discussions about the implications of this move.

Hungary plans to withdraw from the jurisdiction of the ICC

This was stated by the Minister of Justice, Bence Tujon.

This news is not a surprise, as the government has been talking about it since Donald Trump was inaugurated as US president. Last year, the Hungarian government reportedly tasked three of its ministers with investigating the possibility and circumstances of an exit.

Tuzson announced that Hungary is withdrawing from the International Criminal Court to invited diplomats at a meeting of ambassadors held last week at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

According to the publication, for the Hungarian government to make such a decision, the authorities must first submit a formal motion to recall to the National Assembly. If a majority of deputies support it, the government will begin the withdrawal procedure. According to a source familiar with the situation, this process could take about a year.

This development is not unexpected, as the mandate of the Hungarian representative to the ICC, Peter Kovács, expired last year. However, he continues to work on one of the cases, so he will remain in office until it is completed. An anonymous source also reported that the text of the draft resolution on Hungary's withdrawal from the ICC may soon appear on the website of the National Assembly.

When Trump announced that he would impose sanctions on the Hague court over the arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "the Hungarian government took it as a green light."

It should be noted that after Trump imposed sanctions against the International Criminal Court, the governments of dozens of countries around the world responded to the event by coming to the court's defense.
