Grain import caps, which are stopping local farmers in Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, And Slovakia from being flooded with cheap Ukrainian wheat, have infuriated Kiev, who confirmed they will take the bloc to court if the bans aren’t lifted.
The bans are set to expire on September 15, but if the EU chooses to extend them, “ Ukraine will bring the case against Poland and the EU to the World Trade Organisation,” the Ukraine deputy economy minister Taras Kachka said.
Ukrainian officials had previously accused Poland of selfishly putting its own “self-interest” above that of Kiev.
Yes, and?

Holland Norway Lines has been declared bankrupt, one week after suspending operations, as no serious candidate approached to buy the company, and now travellers who bought a ticket are likely to lose their money.
The company’s single ferry, the MS Romantika, carried some 1,500 passengers each way three times a week between the Netherlands or Germany and Kristiansand in Norway.

A gang selling documents which gave access to Schengen Europe charged €18,000 to Vietnamese travellers who posed as students - and on Monday one ‘student’ was jailed for six months.
“They acquire a visa as students. But they never intend to be students... Malta is the easiest place to get a visa. They get it and flee," prosecuting Inspector Karl Roberts told the court.
Nguyen Thi Hanh, a 26-year-old Vietnamese national, left her newborn child with her mother to “study English” in Malta, but after 3 months, still can’t speak a word, the inspector said.
Authorities have been withholding passports to ensure the travellers return home. On this occasion, the woman was heading to board a flight to Budapest using someone else’s passport, police said.

Profile: Who's Zelensky's New Defense Chief? And it Gets Suspicious... (Wait For It!)
The Ukrainian president announced he was firing Oleksiy Reznikov, in an apparent continuation of the so-called corruption crackdown. Zelensky said he wanted, “new approaches and other formats of interaction with both the military and society at large.”
He will definitely get just that... here's why:
Rustem Umerov is a Crimean Tatar with zero military or defense experience at all. Here are some fun facts about Kiev's new man in the hot seat for the conflict:
1️⃣ Zelensky has appointed 42-year-old, Uzbekistan-born Rustem Umerov - who has no military background (in his family or otherwise).
2️⃣ Umerov graduated from the country's National Technical University - with qualifications in finance
3️⃣ Crimea Shift: The defense minister is a leading figure in the Crimean Tatar community - he's known for trying to pass bills on Crimea up until 2022
4️⃣ Zelensky says the parliament 'knows Umerov well' & needs no introduction - no corruption to see here!
5️⃣ Oh wait! Umerov began his career in telecoms & IT and went on to co-found investment firm ASTEM
6️⃣ He only started his political career in 2019 as part of a pro-EU party - and he's a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
7️⃣ Most recently, he's been Head of Ukraine's State Property Fund
REMEMBER: Ukraine has already started selling assets & property off to none other than.... BlackRock.

War On The Wolf: Von Der Lyin’ Howls Over Protection
After her pet pony was killed by a wolf in Germany in 2022, the EC president has been hunting down the strict protection rules for wolves across the continent.
Brussels will now use data to adapt protection status rules in different areas “where appropriate.”
Von der Leyen also urged "local and national authorities to take action," warning that "wolf packs in some regions have become a real danger for livestock and potentially also for humans."
Ursula, Europeans have been trying to keep the wolf from the door for years in terms of energy bills and rents. How about you deal with that instead?

The first Challenger 2 tank to be destroyed by enemy fire has been seen in flames on the battlefield in Zaporizhzhia, according to RIA Novosti.
It is allegedly one of the 14 tanks Downing Street handed to Kiev, and supposedly has armour which "has never been penetrated by enemy fire."
In the entire history of the Challenger 2 tank, only one was destroyed - and that as a result of friendly fire in Iraq, according to the Sun.
Most concerning for British military chiefs is that they banned Ukraine from using Challenger 2 tanks in areas where the they have "bad chances" to prevent secret armour from falling into the hands of the Russians, the outlet states.

A sophisticated 200k system will be installed in the centre of Kaunas and record every car entering the historic centre to try and reduce CO2 emissions - with no exemption for taxis, residents, or workers given as yet.
The exact levy to be imposed is still under discussion, but is expected to be decided by the end of the year.
Time to take the lead of the British blade runners?

Birmingham City Council has effectively filed for bankruptcy after being hit with a £1bn equal pay bill and freezing all non-essential spending.
A section 114 notice has been issued - an admission the council cannot manage its catastrophic financial crisis.
The issuance is essentially the equivalent of a white flag surrender which signals that officers cannot see a way out of the mess without government support and intervention.
But Rishi Sunak is managing the economy, eh?
