🇸🇳 Senegal Bans Ministers from Foreign Travel as Oil Price Surge Strains Public Finances

Senegal's government has banned cabinet ministers from travelling abroad as rising fuel costs put severe pressure on state finances. The cost of fuel has reached nearly double what the government had budgeted, compounding fiscal difficulties across public institutions.

The austerity measure reflects the wider economic strain facing Dakar as global oil prices continue to climb amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

💸🔥 A series of Ukrainian strikes on key Baltic oil terminals cost Russia almost $1 billion, and that’s just in lost export revenue, - FT

Five strikes on the ports of Primorsk and Ust-Luga damaged terminals that handle more than 40% of Russia’s seaborne oil exports.

In Primorsk alone, about $200 million worth of oil was burned.

Главное из сегодняшних заявлений Дмитрия Пескова журналистам:

➖Кремль не знает доподлинно, кто стоит за попытками атак на "Трецкий поток" в Сербии, но предполагает, что это Киев.

➖В Кремле рассчитывают, что Сербия и Венгрия будут предпринимать меры для минимизации угрозы для Турецкого и "Голубого потоков"

➖Переговорный процесс по Украине в трехстороннем формате пока на паузе, но мы, как и Киев продолжаем обмен информацией с CША

➖В Кремле констатируют, что уровень напряженности в регионе в связи с агрессией против Ирана продолжает расти, видим негативные последствия этого для глобальной экономики.

➖В Кремле видели заявления Трампа с требованием в адрес Ирана открыть Ормузский пролив, предпочитают их не комментировать

🇹🇼🇨🇳 Taiwan Reports 173M Q1 Government Network Intrusions

Taiwan's National Security Bureau submitted a written intelligence report to the Legislative Yuan's Defense Committee stating that the government's service network was intruded upon approximately 173.28 million times in the first quarter of 2026. The bureau did not rule out that the activity was preparatory groundwork by the Chinese Communist Party ahead of Taiwan's year-end local elections, with intent to expand intelligence collection, surveillance, and data theft.

Separately, the bureau's intelligence team detected over 13,000 abnormal accounts and more than 860,000 disputed messages between January and March. The report stated that the CCP continued to target major issues in Taiwan's diplomacy, national defense, and civilian economy, spreading disputed information through state media, online agents, abnormal accounts, and content farms, augmented by AI-generated and manipulated content.

The bureau identified Taiwan's nine-in-one local elections, scheduled for later in 2026, as a focus of anticipated interference. Methods cited included AI deepfake technology, fabricated polling data, underground betting operations, and incentives such as subsidized tours and agricultural procurement to influence electoral outcomes and policy direction.
