On June 24, 2024, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy unexpectedly announced the dismissal of Lieutenant General Yuriy Sodol, the current commander of the Joint Forces, amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Speculations suggest the removal may be related to previous public criticisms from Azov battalion leader Bohdan Krotevych, who accused Sodol of poor leadership leading to high soldier casualties. Sodol's replacement, Major General Andriy Hnatov, received praise from Krotevych. The situation highlights the sensitivity of frontline decision-making as Ukraine faces Russian attacks, with high-level reshuffles in Kyiv. Sodol, a graduate of the Ukrainian National Defense University, faced criticism not only from lower-ranked officers but also from Ukrainian media for his notorious behavior during service, while Hnatov earned the trust of subordinates for his role in recapturing southern areas from Russia. This latest development underlines the challenges Ukraine is confronting on multiple fronts.

The Central Weather Bureau stated that there is a development trend of the anti-El Niño phenomenon as sea surface temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean continue to drop. Historical data suggests that in anti-El Niño years, Taiwan's summer may be hotter with typhoons forming closer to Taiwan. The Bureau predicts a range of two to four typhoons near Taiwan from June to November, which is considered below to normal levels and could lead to limited intensification if they form close to the island. The upcoming season outlook indicates higher probabilities of above-normal to normal temperatures and normal to below-normal rainfall from July to September in Taiwan. Chief of Meteorological Center Chen Yiliang mentioned the return to normal El Niño conditions this year but highlighted the potential gradual development of anti-El Niño in the latter part of the year, bringing higher chances of tropical cyclone formation near Taiwan with fewer occurrences than in normal years.

The average amount of mortgage per household in Taiwan has seen a steady increase, reaching 768.8 million NTD in May, significantly higher than the pre-policy amount of 553.1 million NTD. Factors contributing to this rise include increased loan limits, longer loan periods with lower monthly payments, recent property price increases, and a preference for new properties among first-time buyers. The policy has led to a surge in loan applications and total loan amounts disbursed, with an estimated total of over 63,000 households benefiting from the policy by the end of June. However, recent adjustments aim to enhance oversight and prevent misuse of the program by imposing stricter eligibility criteria and post-loan monitoring measures.
