4th day

 Headache and fever are gone. Hard-coughing spells are not.

Meanwhile:

Turkey will now contribute to NATO’s Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL), President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced during the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey.

According to the Turkish defense outlet SavunmaSanayiST, Erdoğan said on Wednesday, July 8, that Ankara would continue supplying military aid from its own national stockpiles while also participating in the PURL initiative, a mechanism that allows partner countries to finance weapons purchases for Ukraine. 

“In addition to the military support we have provided to Ukraine from our own national inventory, we will continue our contributions within the framework of PURL,” Erdoğan said, adding that “while supporting Ukraine, we are also using our communication channels in such a way as to guide Russia toward peace.” Source-Kyiv Post
