German Economy Shrinks on Inflation – report

The EU’s largest economy is shrinking for the first time this year, amid rising inflation levels and energy fears. (Bloomberg)

Predictions on private-sector activity by S&P Global have dropped to the lowest point in some 25 months in July, surpassing even the expected downturn.

The fall of the Euro and energy tensions with Russia have other European nations like France experiencing similar issues, but to a lesser extent considering Berlin’s particular vulnerability.

Kiev Should “Confiscate” Russian Gas – Ukrainian Politician

Ukraine should “confiscate” Russian gas from transit pipelines, argues former speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Dmitry Razumkov, warning without it “a difficult winter awaits” his country.

“As a transit country, we must fulfill obligations to our international partners. But surplus Russian gas should be confiscated in accordance with the law and pumped into our storages,” Razumkov wrote in a column for the Ukrainska Pravda newspaper on Wednesday.

Russia transports some of its gas to Western Europe using a route, created during the Soviet-era, through Ukraine.
