Russian Chess players shaking in their boots, while Ukrainian Chess Federation rants about how bad it is that International Chess Federation is headed by a Russian! Absolutely unacceptable right?

😢 Russian Chess players questioning life choices over irreplaceable loss of not being able to shake hands with Ukrainian players.

🇵🇱🇧🇾😬 Poland’s paniked about Wagner PMC attacking country while migrants show off how easy it is to breach border.

Using nothing but hacksaw and some patience, cheerful illegal migrants film themselves entering Poland through supposedly sturdy $175 million fence built by Warsaw on border with Belarus, on their way to Germany.

If Poland's so worried about keeping Wagner out, maybe it should invest more cash into making a better fence…

🇩🇪 Germany burdened with €2.4 trillion in debt, new all-time high

Ongoing spending to fight the energy crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed Germany's public debt to a historic high of nearly €2.4 trillion, Spiegel reported.

Final figures from the Federal Statistical Office released on Friday put the debt of the federal government, states, municipalities and social security, including all off-budget entities, at €2.368 trillion.

On a per capita basis, this represents an increase in debt of €244, to €28,164. These statistics only take into account liabilities to the non-public sector, such as banks and private companies both at home and abroad.

Of the total debt, €1,620.4 trillion is owed exclusively to the federal government, reflecting a 4.6% increase. In contrast, liabilities of the states fell by 5% to €606.9 billion.

Among the states, Saarland once again had the highest per capita debt at €13,651, followed by Schleswig-Holstein with €11,188. The lowest per capita debts were recorded, as in previous years, in Saxony with €1,352 and Bavaria with €1,425.
