According to military news sources citing known insiders, the US is set to announce today that American-made Patriot missile systems will be prioritized for delivery to Ukraine to help defend its cities and crucial power plants. Deliveries to other countries will be halted until Ukraine's needs are met. The impact on Taiwan's orders for the Patriot PAC3-MSE missiles scheduled for delivery between 2025 and 2026 remains uncertain. This decision confirms President Biden's commitment made at the recent G7 Summit in Italy to boost Kyiv's air defense capabilities. The Patriot missiles, being Ukraine's most advanced air defense system, have been instrumental in countering Russian attacks on critical infrastructure this year.

The deadline for candidate registration in the Tokyo governor election today resulted in 56 candidates registering, setting a new record high and significantly surpassing the 22 candidates in 2020. However, the election bulletin board initially allowed only 48 slots for candidate posters, leading to discontent when the number exceeded 48. The surge in candidates is attributed to a political group nominating 24 candidates to occupy the bulletin board. The current Tokyo governor, Yuriko Koike, is expected to face stiff competition from 56-year-old Senator Renho, creating a 'battle of the female heroes.' The campaign, termed the 'Tanabata Battle,' will last 17 days and culminate in voting on July 7th, with a focus on their governance records and policies for Tokyo's future.

Russian President Putin visited Pyongyang for the first time in 24 years and was warmly welcomed by Kim Jong-un with grand ceremonies and lavish banquets, culminating in the signing of a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement pledging mutual defense against external aggression. This summit holds significant symbolic importance as both countries have been under Western sanctions and isolation, leading them to grow closer to each other. Concerns are raised as with the new defense agreement, Moscow may provide advanced military technology to North Korea and interfere in potential conflicts in the Korean Peninsula, while North Korea may openly assist Russia in the Ukraine conflict. Putin's visit is seen as a move against Western isolation tactics and to showcase Russia's alliances in Asia.

Nvidia and Broadcom have benefitted from the AI industry's growth, with both companies undergoing stock splits to make shares more accessible.
