❗️EU countries have almost no budget funds left to combat the energy crisis, writes the Financial Times.
During the summit in Cyprus, countries will discuss the rise in energy prices. Europe is dependent on fossil fuel imports, and this crisis is already the third in the last six years - after COVID-19 and the crisis in 2022.
This means that member countries have very few budget resources left to mitigate the consequences of current problems.

❗️Trump:
Very good news! I have just been informed that the eight women protestors who were going to be executed tonight in Iran will no longer be killed.
Four will be released immediately, and four will be sentenced to one month in prison. I very much appreciate that Iran, and its leaders, respected my request, as President of the United States, and terminated the planned execution. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

❗️Iranian Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf:
A complete ceasefire only makes sense if it is not violated by the maritime blockade and the hostage-taking of the world's economy, and if the Zionist warmongering across all fronts is halted; reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible with such a flagrant breach of the ceasefire.
They did not achieve their goals through military aggression, nor will they through bullying. The only way forward is to recognize the rights of the Iranian nation.

❗️Prime Minister Albanese was questioned today by ABC radio host Hamish Macdonald on why he doesn't just lift sanctions on importing much needed Russian oil and fertiliser into Australia.
MACDONALD: Indonesia's leader just been off to Russia to talk to them about getting more fuel from them. I mean, is that something Australia would consider doing more of to, given the situation that the world is in?
PRIME MINISTER: We have sanctions on Russia and they have not changed. It's up to individual sovereign states to make their own decisions –
MACDONALD: But are you considering, are you considering changing your approach on that?
PRIME MINISTER: No, our position's very clear on Russia because of the illegal and immoral invasion of Ukraine that continues to cause turbulence and not just for the people of Ukraine, but the implications are there for the international rule of law.
⚡️🇦🇺🇷🇺Albanese refused once again to consider lifting sanctions against Russia - he would rather see Australians suffer.

❗️Interesting headline in the British media today: Ukrainian President Zelensky has criticised the repeated visits made by Donald Trump’s envoys to Moscow to meet Vladimir Putin without once travelling to Kiev, calling it ”disrespectful”.
Maybe eventually Trump will grow tired of Zelensky and do something outrageous like ally with Russia and supply US weapons to Putin in the war against Zelensky?
To be honest, this scenario would not shock...
