As Western military aid arrives, the situation stabilizes on the Ukrainian front line, particularly in Kharkiv where Ukrainian troops use Western weapons to effectively halt Russian advances. Russia shifts focus to attacking Ukrainian power facilities, leading to a 40% power outage, necessitating rotating blackouts this summer. Despite facing targeted strikes, Ukrainian forces gain ground with support from Western weaponry and their own arms production. Russian forces struggle, redirecting attacks to key Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. Power facilities bear the brunt of Russian bombings, becoming a secondary frontline causing Ukraine to implement rotating blackouts. Repair efforts face challenges, sourcing components from Europe's abandoned plants or constructing smaller generators. While Western air defense systems strengthen, Kyiv residents prepare to evacuate before winter due to insufficient protection. Meanwhile, Russian President Putin announces Russian investment in Vietnam's LNG energy sector. Russian Pacific Fleet conducts 10-day anti-submarine operations and missile exercises involving 40 vessels and 20 aircraft, showcasing naval power in the Pacific Ocean.

Bloomberg reported on June 20, 2024, that Huawei plans to charge a 20% profit-sharing fee on gaming content in its HarmonyOS app store to attract more developers to bring games to the Harmony operating system ecosystem. This adjustment in profit-sharing is aimed at attracting more games. Compared to the average 30% profit-sharing rate by companies like Apple and Google, Huawei's policy is more appealing, even surpassing the 50% profit-sharing in most Chinese software markets for gaming content. With recent launches in the Chinese market and a growing market share, Huawei seems focused on convincing more game developers to join HarmonyOS to attract more gamers to Huawei phones running the operating system.
