On June 22nd 1941, Operation Munchen commences! A joint German-Romanian Army attacks in the early hours the soviet units in occupied Bessarabia and Northern Bucovina.
For the first week of the operation, fighting concentrated along the Danube river in the Danube Delta and Southern Bessarabia. The Soviets initially tried to counterattack with a naval invasion at Chilia Veche and a sea and air raid on Constanța both failing with the one on Constanța being especially a nasty defeat, resulting in one destroyer sunk, 9 bombers shot down for minimal damage on the port itself. In this raid, Romania earned its first war hero, pilot Horia Agarici shooting down 3 of the bombers with his IAR-80 fighter-bomber aircraft.
The main push would begin on July 2nd with the Romanian army crossing the Pruth river at Ripiceni-Corpani-Cuconești in the Botoșani-Edineț area and further south at Costuleni and Bogdănești-Stoianovca (Stoenești before the sovietization of Moldova). The next day, the push towards Cernăuți in Bucovina begins. Storojineț is taken on the same day, Cernăuți is captured on July 5th with the soviet armies withdrawing from Bukovina and northern Bessarabia following defeats up north near Rivne in Western Ukraine. By July 7th, the Dniester was reached with Bukovina and much of Northern Bessarabia having been liberated.
It would take 3 more weeks until Bessarabia was fully liberated but the battle itself was over after Chișinău was freed. Operation Munchen would officially end on July 26th, a resounding success.

In short, AUR joined the ECR because it is the largest ”socially conservative” faction in the European Parliament, arguing that the Identity & Democracy bloc was ”too small” to make a difference and that the ID group exists to ”make noise and start scandals” which the party is more than happy to let its rival, Diana Șoșoacă and S.O.S. România to pick this role.
RostOnline argues that, AUR with its 6 MEPs can better focus on ideas and even as ECR members, they can still vote freely, with the newspaper saying it will ”wait and see before denouncing the MEPs”.

🇪🇺 - EU top jobs update (there’s a EUCO summit about it this week)
Senior EPP figures including Polish PM Donald Tusk and German CDU leader Friedrich Merz are scared that a deal with greens to keep Von der Leyen in charge might be too controversial with the voters. Increasing the chances for a Von Der Leyen-Meloni pact.
EPP group leader Manfred Weber adds: The EU must focus on securing peace, economic growth and limiting migration.

Jourová warns that Putin floods the EU with fake news on Telegram. She said the Russian-owned service “is especially active in the eastern member states where we have a Russian-speaking minority.”
She said Telegram was a “special case” because it claims to have only 42 million users in the bloc — below the 45 million threshold needed to be scrutinized under its new Digital Services Act — which places guardrails on the spread of harmful and illegal material online.
Jourová further believes that Telegram is underreporting its number of users to avoid falling under the DSA regulation and thus finds it necessary to inspect Telegram much more closely.
In an emailed response on Saturday, Telegram spokesman Remi Vaughn said the company is abiding by EU sanctions by blocking access to channels such as RT, Sputnik and NewsFront.
Telegram doesn’t use algorithms to promote sensational content to users, who receive only the information they explicitly choose to subscribe to, Vaughn said.
The Digital Services Act took full effect earlier this year and allows the EU to fine major platforms of as much as 6% of global annual sales if it finds violations — or ban repeat offenders from the EU.

To the dismay of the Commissioner for Values and Transparency, Věra Jourová, who firmly believed that even encrypted messaging needs to be verified to ”better protect children”, the Belgian presidency of the European Council noted that too many EU member states will either oppose or abstain during the decisive vote for the child abuse law, citing privacy concerns.
The Belgians tried to solve the deadlock around the draft bill since taking the office last January but failed achieve a consensus and, as a result, the bill failed.
Under the Belgians' plan, messaging apps would scan pictures and links when users upload them via their services, and users would be informed of this under the terms and conditions. Users who refused the regime would be blocked from sending pictures and links.
