Germany and allies to send major military aid package to Ukraine using new NATO supply line
BERLIN (AP) — Germany announced on Wednesday that it will work with a group of Ukraine's Western backers to supply a package of military aid to the war-ravaged country worth up to $500 million using a new NATO supply line. Earlier this month, NATO started coordinating regular deliveries of large weapons packages to Ukraine after the Netherlands said that it would provide air defense equipment, ammunition and other military aid worth 500 million euros ($582 million). Sweden announced the following day that it would contribute $275 million to a joint effort along with its Nordic neighbors Denmark and Norway to provide $500 million worth of air defenses, anti-tank weapons, ammunition and spare parts. Germany's foreign and defense ministries said the support is focused on equipment like 'critical air defense capabilities. These are urgently needed to defend against Russia's ongoing air strikes, which are killing more and more civilians throughout Ukraine.' The United Nations has said that Russia's relentless pounding of urban areas behind the front line has killed more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians. Two deliveries of equipment, most of it bought in the United States, were scheduled for this month, although the Nordic package was more likely to arrive in September. Germany did not name the group of countries it would be working with. The equipment is supplied based on Ukraine's priority needs on the battlefield. NATO allies then locate the weapons and ammunition and send them on. Germany has delivered or pledged military support to Ukraine worth around 40 billion euros ($47 billion) since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Bybit Rising Fund: A Global Initiative to Transform Crypto Education From the Ground Up
DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 11, 2025 /CNW/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is excited to announced the launch of the Bybit Rising Fund, a groundbreaking corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative focused on education through impact. Spanning 15+ geographies across four continents—from Bolivia and South Africa to the Nordic capitals—the fund represents a paradigm shift from traditional one-off charitable donations to sustainable, mutually beneficial, and education-first partnerships that serve communities long-term. Rewriting the Standard for Crypto CSR The Rising Fund debuts as part of Bybit's World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2025, operating under the transformative theme "Rewrite & Reshape." This year's competition goes beyond trading excellence to create real-world impact by allocating a portion of the prize pool to localized education initiatives, demystifying abstract blockchain concepts and utilities for the academia, researchers, developers, creators, and students alike.

For the first time in WSOT's history, Bybit will decentralize control of the CSR prize pool, giving each region—from Latin America and Southeast Asia to MENA and Europe—the opportunity to directly fund and co-create educational programs, scholarships, and hackathons with local institutions. The approach strengthens project ownership and decentralizes creative power to the builders. Together, local taskforces will shape the blockchain-enabled future best suited for their realities and real-world needs. Reshaping Access to the Industry The Rising Fund addresses critical barriers to entry in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space through: Blockchain and crypto bootcamps designed for entry-level participants Beginner-focused educational courses that make complex concepts accessible Stronger scholarship-backed educational support for underserved communities Collaborative hackathons that unite core crypto players and foster innovation "The Rising Fund represents our commitment to amplifying WSOT's legacy through real-world educational support beyond just goodwill gestures," said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO at Bybit. "Through strategic partnerships, Bybit creates lasting value, positioning crypto as a force for real-world utility and social mobility." Restrictions and user requirements apply.
