🇧🇪 Belgium keeps blocking EU’s plan to use €210B in frozen Russian assets for Ukraine. Even with legal guarantees & concessions, Brussels won’t budge, fearing retaliation from Moscow. Four other countries now also back looking at alternative financing like joint EU debt.

Ukraine will not legally or practically recognize Donbas as Russian, Zelensky. "Russia still wants Donbas, but Ukraine won’t cede it. The U.S. has floated a “free economic zone” compromise, but “free” doesn’t mean under Russian control. Talks on territory continue, and no consensus yet," he added.

Au Chili, la victoire de José Antonio Kast et l'ombre de Pinochet
L'ultraconservateur José Antonio Kast est devenu, dimanche, le président chilien le plus à droite depuis la fin de la dictature de Pinochet en 1990. Son ascension réactive des fractures laissées par 17 ans de régime autoritaire : entre un passé encore douloureux, d'une population en quête de retour à l'ordre, et une désillusion à l'égard de la gauche.

Russia’s shadow fleet remains its cash lifeline.
We are cutting it.
Today we sanctioned several individuals linked to Rosneft and Lukoil, as well as 40 additional vessels.
We will also sanction shadow fleet vessels on a rolling basis, with decisions every month.
