Aug 1 — The Office of the National Disaster Reduction and Relief Commission and the Ministry of Emergency Management sent teams to Jilin and Heilongjiang to assess recent rain- and flood-related damage and assist local rescue operations. In coordination with the State Grain and Material Reserves Administration, they allocated 11,000 central relief items — blankets, bedding and household emergency kits — to support resettlement and aid for affected residents.

US sources said on July 31 that during a recent US visit Ukrainian President Zelenskiy asked President Trump and other US officials to persuade SpaceX founder Elon Musk to allow Ukrainian forces to use SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet system to strike ballistic missile launchers inside Russia. Multiple sources said Zelenskiy raised the request in a closed‑door White House meeting with Trump on July 28. Russia has begun deploying a similar low‑Earth‑orbit satellite system. Zelenskiy said Ukraine needs higher‑precision strikes on Russian missile launchers before winter to deter a Russian winter offensive and curb attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
