WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
THE FRONTLINE President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Moscow of “bestial savagery” after Russian troops unleashed a new flurry of missile and drone strikes on Ukraine. It follows a visit to Kyiv by Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, the only G7 leader who had not yet travelled to the war-torn country. “I’m outraged by the cruelty,” Kishida said while paying tribute to the victims. Meanwhile, a US institute has estimated the Wagner Group, Russia’s mercenary force, will soon lose most of its recruits as convicts finish their six-month military contracts. And in more inspiring news, green technology is making inroads in Ukraine’s reconstruction.
STOLEN GENERATION Russia’s abduction of Ukrainian children came to the fore after the International Criminal Court placed an arrest warrant on Vladimir Putin himself, accusing the president of war crimes. Since launching the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has used various tactics, including hotlines and “re-education camps,” to forcefully transfer Ukrainian kids onto territory under its control. Many of these abductees end up being illegally adopted by Russian families or even lost. Lily Radziemski has this must-read story on the forced deportations.
‘NO REGRETS’ After forcing the approval of his pension reform without a parliamentary vote, President Emmanuel Macron is facing the anger of the French people. “This reform is necessary, it does not make me happy. I would have preferred not to do it,” Macron said in his first remarks since the controversial move, adding he had “no regrets.” Asked about the ongoing protests, the President said expressing discontent was legitimate but promised zero tolerance against violence.
OVERRIDE CLAUSE Macron’s now-infamous decision to trigger article 49.3 of the French Constitution and circumvent the National Assembly made headlines around the world. Could something similar happen elsewhere on the continent? We take a look at the rules in other European countries.
E-FUELS IMPASSE In a rare intervention, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola has urged an end to the standoff prompted by Germany over the issue of combustion engines and e-fuels.
RIGHT TO REPAIR If it’s broken, don’t ditch it. The European Commission proposed this week a new right to repair that will compel producers of devices and machines to offer consumers repair services, if doing so does not cost more than a replacement. In a separate proposal, the executive unveiled new rules to crack down on greenwashing, a widespread marketing trend that deceives consumers: around 53% of green claims made by companies contain “vague, misleading or unfounded” information.
