Ukraine's president says partners asked if the attacks could be "reduced" as prices soar due to the Iran war.

Speaking with FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney, Helen Yaffe, Professor of Latin American Political Economy at the University of Glasgow, describes the "stark hypocrisy" of the Trump administration's complaints about Iran blocking free movement on the seas while at the same time weaponising starvation by denying the Cuban people oil.

Viktor Orbán has turned Hungary into a Trojan horse inside the European Union. And the problem is - our current rules allow this to keep happening 🤯

Orbán’s foreign minister was calling Moscow during breaks in EU meetings to give his Russian counterpart “live updates” on what we were discussing.

Think about that for a second.

russians withdrew over one trillion rubles in cash from banks in a single months! Main reasons: problems with bank cards and ATM denials and constant internet shut downs.

That’s about $400 million a day from the increase in oil prices and the easing of sanctions, which is somewhat puzzling to me….

Germany's Merz says easing of Russia sanctions is 'wrong'

The German chancellor has said a US decision to temporarily allow the sale of sanctioned Russian oil is flawed. Friedrich Merz said the timing of the decision was incorrect and questioned Washington's motive.

So let me get this straight, after launching another war in the middle east with absolutely no plan, to counter a threat that doesn't exist, the US is now strengthening the only country who actually does pose a threat, undermining European security.
