Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that if the United states decides to supply Kyiv with longer-range missiles for U.S.-made HIMARS systems in use by Ukraine it would cross a "red line" and become "a party to the conflict".
ℹ Russia has set repeated "red lines", and done exactly nothing when NATO has run over them, because it is not capable of doing anything.

Germany Seizes Assets of Russian Oil Giant Rosneft
Germany seized the local unit of Russian oil major Rosneft PJSC as Berlin moves to take sweeping control of its energy industry, secure supplies and sever decades of deep dependence on Moscow for fuel.
The German government is close to finalizing a swap with Greece that would see Athens send 40 of its Soviet-made BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine and in return get 40 Marder IFVs from former Bundeswehr stocks now kept by industry.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the alliance's stocks of weapons and other military equipment are being depleted by supplies to Ukraine.
According to Stoltenberg, NATO needs to increase production in these areas to replenish stocks.
Thus, Germany has already stated that it has reached the limit of its ability to supply Kyiv with weapons from its presence, and the United States is actively entering into contracts with arms manufacturers to replenish its own warehouses.

Hungary faces EU judgement day that could hammer its economy
Hungary is facing a reckoning with Brussels over corruption concerns that could cost Budapest billions.
The EU appears to be about to impose financial penalties on the government of Viktor Orban, amid alleged fraudulent behaviour and rule of law violations.
