Handel mit der Ukraine: Es ist vorbei mit der Solidarität (Die Zeit)
|
|
Die EU lässt Handelserleichterungen für die Ukraine auslaufen – zur Freude von Ländern wie Polen. Für die ukrainische Wirtschaft ist die Entscheidung ein schwerer Schlag... --- Die Inflation ist zuletzt auf 15 Prozent gestiegen. Außerdem fehlen dem Staat Steuereinnahmen. Das riesige Haushaltsloch von rund 20 Prozent der Wirtschaftsleistung schließen die Hilfen der EU und anderer westlicher Staaten. Doch die Kriegskosten sind in diesem Jahr bereits deutlich höher als bisher veranschlagt..

Calls for Russia′s frozen assets held in Belgium to be used in rebuilding Ukraine (The Guardian)
|
|
Brussels-based Euroclear holds most of Russia's frozen assets, but some say confiscation could be 'an act of war'The boxy glass and steel tower at a traffic-clogged junction on King Albert II Boulevard hardly stands out among the other buildings in the business district of north Brussels, the Belgian capital's answer to Manhattan or La Défense in Paris.But unlike its neighbours, the institution housed in this bland postmodern building opposite a branch of Domino's Pizza is caught up in a geopolitical maelstrom. It is Euroclear, a little-known body that houses most of the Russian state's frozen assets and now finds itself in the middle of a debate about international justice. Continue reading......

|

Um die kriegsgebeutelte Ukraine zu unterstützen, wurde der EU-Markt für Zuckerimporte aus dem Land geöffnet. Das führte zu einem erheblichen Preisdruck für die Produzenten in der EU und setzte auch den österreichischen Börsenkonzern Agrana unter Druck. Die Schließung des Werks in Leopoldsdorf sei ebenfalls eine Folge davon, sagt CEO Stephan Büttner....

Ukraine's Military Issues Bizarre Recruitment Ad Featuring McDonald's Cheeseburgers
Immense controversy and backlash has been unleashed in Ukraine after the country's defense ministry decided to make a fresh recruitment video on TikTok, bizarrely using the 'lure' of McDonald's. The clip appeared this week on the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense's official channel.
Desperately seeking to gain more young recruits into the army's depleting ranks, also at a moment that disturbing videos showing conscription officers yanking Ukrainian men off the streets and shoving them into vans are going viral, the new video clip informs Ukrainians how many cheeseburgers they can afford at McDonald's by joining the fight against Russia.
A man in civilian clothes walks out of a local McDonald's and poses, "How many cheeseburgers can be bought for 1 million hryvnas ($24,000)?" The man then says that 15,625 burgers can be bought for that amount, and that any person between the ages of 18-24 who ...

Provoked: The Long Train Of Abuses That Culminated In The Ukraine War
Authored by Carus Michaelangelo via The Mises Institute,
[Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine, by Scott Horton, The Libertarian Institute, 2024; 690 pp.]
“A fox knows many things, but a hedgehog knows one big thing.” Scott Horton is the liberty movement's foreign policy hedgehog, endeavoring to convince the American public of one essential truth: the folly of war. But within that sphere, Horton is a fox, weaving an encyclopedic knowledge of various conflicts into an elaborate and convincing tapestry that indicts elites, intellectuals, the military-industrial complex, and—with characteristic vitriol—neoconservatives in pushing the US toward unnecessary wars.
Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine, fits this mold to a tee—not because Horton contorts facts to a preconceived narrative. Rather, because it is ...
