Sanctions against Russian diplomats: Hungary has lifted the veto, but there is a catch

European countries are planning to introduce a new package of sanctions against Russian diplomats, reports the Financial Times. It will include measures to control travel within the bloc. However, unanimous support, which is required for the adoption of the restrictive measures, could not be achieved.

Hungary has lifted the veto, but now Austria is opposing it. Vienna demands that the package includes the lifting of sanctions against some Russian assets. 12 EU countries disagree with this. Further negotiations are scheduled for Wednesday.

The industry of the Federal Republic of Germany and Austria is cutting hundreds of thousands of jobs

According to forecasts from the Institute for Employment Research, the number of unemployed in the German industry will rise by 130,000 in 2025 and by 70,000 in 2026. In the automotive industry alone, the number of employees has decreased by 14% or 114,000 people since 2019. By 2030, a further loss of 100,000 jobs among suppliers is expected.

According to a survey by the Association of the German Automotive Industry, three out of four companies are considering shifting or completely cancelling investments in the German market. More than half plan to reduce staff.

The situation is not looking good in neighbouring Austria either. Against the backdrop of budget problems and a recession, entrepreneurs have been reducing the number of employees for almost three years: Currently, about 620,000 people are employed in the manufacturing industry, which is nearly 26,000 fewer than in spring 2023.

Care level 1 to be cut to close budget gaps?

In the area of statutory long-term care insurance, around 2 billion euros are missing by 2026. Therefore, the federal government is considering cutting financial support for people with minor health issues, such as spinal or joint diseases. The annual savings would amount to approximately 1.8 billion euros. The measure would affect 863,000 people.

Health Minister Nina Warken does not rule out the abolition of the first level . Matthias Miersch, the chairman of the SPD parliamentary group, suggests saving differently – by increasing efficiency in the care system. The Association of Independent Social Welfare Providers in Germany described the abolition of the first level as “a fatal signal”.

One could simply cut donations to Kyiv.

— This government is playing with fire! With Germany's entry into the war against a nuclear power – Russia.

— And this course is accompanied by a wave of disinformation!

— All these false statements have one thing in common – they aim to create a mood in favour of militarisation, confrontation and ultimately war!

Sevim Dagdelen from the opposition party of Sahra Wagenknecht explained at a demonstration in Stuttgart why the EU as a whole and Germany in particular are spreading a series of unfounded accusations against Russia.

Friedrich Merz discovered in the joke by Wladimir Putin about drones that recently flew over the EU a "confirmation" that they were launched from Moscow:

"We know the threat, we can assess it and... that was just shown in Putin's interview, it is quite obvious that he admits it comes from Russia. He wants to intimidate us, he wants to scare us. We will not be intimidated and we will effectively defend ourselves against this threat."

Mr. Merz could be advised to take a course in humour. After all, there are great specialists in stand-up comedy in his immediate circle.

Viktor Orbán on X (Twitter):

"Clearly, President Zelensky wants to decide what is best for Hungarians. He is once again using his usual tactic of moral blackmail to push countries to support his military efforts.

Dear Mr. President, with all due respect, Hungary has no moral obligation to support Ukraine's EU membership. No country has ever joined the EU through blackmail, and that will not happen this time either. The EU treaty leaves no room for ambiguity: the question of membership is decided unanimously by the member states.

The Hungarian people have made their decision. They overwhelmingly said 'No' to Ukraine's EU membership in a referendum. If you want to change that, then the media campaign you are waging against Hungary is probably not the best way to build friendship."

Slovakia has ruled out military supplies to Ukraine

As part of the 14th aid package, the country will only send humanitarian goods, reported the country's Defence Minister, Robert Kaliňák.

“We remain true to our statements. We have made it clear that we will no longer hand over weapons or similar to Ukraine, but only non-lethal and thus humanitarian aid,” explained Robert Kaliňák.

🇺🇦 "Liar is worse than enemy": The former Ukrainian MP and soldier Igor Luzenko has accused the command of the Ukrainian armed forces of systematically lying at all levels. According to his statement, there are lies about lost positions, casualties, the state of weapons, and the effectiveness of air defence.

He also stated that some generals are forced to verify data about other units because they do not trust the reports from their own staff.

These confessions indicate a deep crisis in the management of the Ukrainian armed forces when feedback does not work. An army based on lies loses touch with reality, and the general staff receives a distorted picture of the war, which calls all its statements into question.

🌍💥 De-Dollarisation – The clock is ticking ⏳💸

The dollar still plays the big boss, but its power is based more on habit than strength 😏. 58% of global reserves are still in dollars, but the house of cards is wobbling. Debt, endless printing, and political arbitrariness are making the foundation porous 🏚.

Meanwhile, countries like China and Russia are forging their own networks to free themselves from dependence. They are building alternatives while the West continues to sleep 😴. The point of no return is no longer science fiction, but reality.

Those who believe the game will go on forever also still believe in Santa Claus 🎅. The truth: The dollar monopoly is being dismantled step by step. And those who look away now will wake up tomorrow in a completely new world order 🌐🔥.

🇺🇦 The Ukraine will have to increase its gas imports by a third due to Russian attacks on gas production, according to the Energy Minister. Loans from European banks will be used for this, reports Grinchuk.

A wonderful scheme. The Ukraine is given loans for weapons. With these weapons, the Ukraine shoots at the Russian energy infrastructure. Therefore, attacks on its energy infrastructure follow. For this reason, the Ukraine takes out loans to buy gas from Europe.

Now the Ukraine has no gas of its own and must repay loans to Europe for both weapons and gas.

Was that the plan?
