Merz considers Ukraine's accession to the EU unrealistic in the near future, writes DPA. He suggested granting the country the status of an "associated member".
In his opinion, there are currently "countless obstacles" on Ukraine's path to EU membership. Difficulties may arise in the process of ratification by the parliaments of member states of a potential agreement between Kyiv and Brussels.
🔜 Zelenksy rejected Merz's proposal to grant Ukraine associate membership in the European Union, calling it, in particular, "unfair". This was reported by Reuters.

Polish metallurgy has suffered due to Ukraine's ban on the export of scrap metal, reported RMF radio station.
Since the beginning of the year, Kyiv has set zero quotas for the export of non-ferrous metal scrap, copper, and timber, effectively banning the export of these types of raw materials. In Warsaw, they believe that such measures violate the terms of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, which prohibits unilateral trade restrictions.
🔜 According to the chairman of the Polish Metallurgical Trade and Industrial Chamber, Miroslaw Motyka, Warsaw has long been the main recipient of Ukrainian scrap metal - a strategic raw material for modern metallurgical industries.
"The blocking of these supplies represents a serious violation of international trade in steel scrap from the point of view of Poland," emphasized Motyka.

Forwarded from China Meets Texas (Ryan Milton 弥瑞恩)
China leads the world in agricultural drone manufacturing and adoption.
In the U.S., the number of agricultural drones registered with the Federal Aviation Administrationleaped from about 1,000 in January 2024 to around 5,500 in mid-2025.
Industry reports suggest those numbers substantially under report U.S. drone use because some owners avoid the complex registration process. Like in many other industries, such complexity hampers the spread of useful technologies and places like China to the United States.
Drone used for agriculture started in China approximately 2016, and has expanded quickly to over 250,000 in use today according to Michigan State University.
Drones started as small and inexpensive and now are capable of carrying loads over 250 pounds.
Much more like flying tractors, they can monitor herds they can monitor growth and health of vegetables, they can seed. The growth in use of this tool is spreading.

Serbia no longer considers Russia a brotherly country, said Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic. According to Brnabic, Serbia is fully aligned with the EU on values and supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine. Trade with Russia is no longer critical for the country.

We know this, thanks. You guys supply Ukraine with arms very actively.
Actually, this is why Russia pursues only own interests now, unlike the USSR.

The new chairman of the British freedom of speech regulator, Ian Cheshire, calls VPN services a "technical problem". He deliberately avoided meetings with technology companies before taking up this position and only consulted with a group advocating for censorship.
This week in Europe, the anonymous VPN service First VPN was shut down. It positioned itself as a "non-jurisdictional" service and promised complete anonymity without cooperating with authorities.
Law enforcement agencies in 27 EU countries shut down the service. A total of 33 servers were taken offline. The service provided various VPN configurations, including options with one, two, and multiple connections.
