Four executives at the last major Russian bank still operating in Europe exploited the market chaos unleashed by EU sanctions in 2022 to make millions on their personal accounts. Read my investigation for @FT here: www.ft.com/content/3cb4...?

🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.

EU's 20th #sanctions package on Russia and EU's 90 bln loan for Ukraine are on the agenda of the EU Ambassador's meeting (COREPER 2) right now. If everything goes well, both get pre-approved today and get quickly confirmed by the Council by tomorrow.

Possibly true. 😉

Brutal. 😆

I am just going to tweet it now to save for later. I am predicting EC President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu will end up firing current Hungarian Commissioner Várhelyi once Peter Magyar's new Hungarian government is installed.

I have sooo many questions.

This is getting confusing. Is the Iran war a distraction from Epstein? Or is Epstein now a distraction from the Iran war?

Yesterday, I spoke to @tvpworld.bsky.social on consequences of HUN blocking EU's Ukraine Loan and 20 RUS #sanctions package. We touched on: ▶️ We don't fully know all facts re pipeline ▶️ HUN elections driving Orban. He needs a win ▶️ No "hard" solution => compromise youtu.be/4F5r_uEedJ4?...

Po unieważnieniu przez Sąd Najwyższy USA ceł Trumpa opartych na ustawie IEEPA, omawiam z Marcinem Dobrowolskim z Pulsu Biznesu treść, konsekwencje i reperkusje tego wyroku. 👇👇👇 youtu.be/dPBLpR3yrSM?...

Yet last night, they have not done anything suggesting that they realize EU is alone now.

Last night - before Council vote today - I discussed 𝗘𝗨-𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗢𝗦𝗨𝗥 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 with @tvpworld.bsky.social. We focused on EU farmers, but also the political context of the agreement in view of developments in South America and the world. Enjoy! youtu.be/wpWvIK2hEAM?...

As 𝗘𝗨-𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗢𝗦𝗨𝗥 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 is clearly in trouble (EU farmers up in arms, far-right hoping for their first "big kill"), I spoke with @tvpworld.bsky.social Ashim Kumar on EC decision to postpone the signing of the agreement into mid January. youtu.be/SFfAHd_L6C0?...

Mind-blowing how EU investor stupidity jeopardized EU security. When most reasonable ppl wouldn't commit a single penny in Russia, greedy & dumb investors poured billions. Russia now has at least $127 bln private EU investment that is keeping us hostage. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

📢🔊Breaking news🔊📢 European Parliament's INTA & ITRE Committees just jointly adopted result of trilogue on phasing out Russian #gas: ✔️ 92 in favor ❌ 17 against ⚪ 4 abstentions #Plenary debate tomorrow, plenary vote Wednesday. After Council approves, Reg will be published in OJ & enter into force.

Leadership: "Several people familiar with the debate in Congress said Republicans were very frustrated with the decision but were reluctant to criticise the move because they were nervous about a backlash from Trump." www.ft.com/content/1647...

"Huang in April flew to Mar-a-Lago to talk to Trump on the sidelines of a $1mn per head dinner. The administration softened its stance in the following months." www.ft.com/content/ba30... via @FT

Last night, I discussed EU-MERCOSUR Trade Agreement with @tvpworld.bsky.social Ashim Kumar. In short: it's a great agreement, we need to get it done. Fears abt agriculture are overblown, mainly stemming from farmers' other sensitivities around AGRI trade. youtu.be/SHIZvcUl_yQ?...

The staff of our EU Enlargement Commissioner @martakos.ec.europa.eu needs a geography lesson. I realize Azerbaijan is increasing its regional influence, but have they really gone all the way across the Caspian Sea to seize Tashkent 🤨?

This is cringe-worthy for thousands of reasons, but it brings home a very important point for #lobbying, which is very close to my heart: whoever makes the first draft, is light years ahead in securing their interests. 🤷‍♂️ www.politico.eu/article/dona...

Hopefully this is 💯 on point. 🙏

Given Zelensky admin's corruption scandal is used to pressure Ukraine into unacceptable territorial, political and military concessions towards Russia, it has to be asked whether Russian intelligence had anything to do with the corruption scandal in the first place.🤷‍♂️ abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

Kallas: We’ve to understand that in this war,there is one aggressor&one victim.We haven't heard of any concessions on the Russian side.If Russia really wanted peace,it could have agreed to an unconditional ceasefire already some time ago,whereas we see again,over this night,bombings of civilians

Buyers of Russian fossil fuels, per Financial Times.

"An analysis by the Kick Big Polluters Out coalition found that over 1,600 lobbyists from the industry had been granted access to the talks — amounting to one in 25 participants." One in twenty-five. Why is this a problem? on.ft.com/481DXBa

We have a saying in Polish: "When you're in trouble, you see who your real friends are". Not clear what use is EU's global outreach if EU & Member States chicken out leaving our partners isolated, bz Trump would get mad. Disrespectful and short-sighted. www.ft.com/content/8214...

Excellent analysis from @gideonrachman.bsky.social. Trump is squandering in record time the incredible political PR and goodwill capital US has accumulated globally over the decades. His successors will have nothing to work with. The damage is impossible to undo. on.ft.com/4qAdoeI

Fascinating discussion on a very important topic: #public #procurement reform in the European Parliament in Strasburg. Report by Piotr Muller. EU Industry Commissioner Stéphane Séjourne in attendance. Check out the full room on the picture below 👇. Extremely disappointing.

It's interesting how Macron's shocking move last year to unexpectedly call for earlier elections is still judged to have "backfired spectacularly". His point was to prevent NR from getting power, which he did, so what's the measure of success? 🤔 www.politico.eu/article/fran...

Another "I told you so" moment for Macron. Lets remember: the UK and US edged out France over this submarine contract. If US backs out, the French stand vindicated and UK and Australian deeply embarrassed and betrayed. on.ft.com/4kBm6pB

Possibility of EU- #China detente is a top topic in EU. Today, I discussed this with TVP World host Anna Kalczynska. - are EU-China #EVs and rare earth talks a sign of a thaw? - will China "divide & conquer" EU ? - will Trump blink in talks with China? youtube.com/watch?v=aBoi...

The F-16 launched an AIM-120 missile, downing the Su-35 just 16 km from the border in Russia’s Kursk region. The pilot ejected, and the Ukrainian aircraft returned without losses. Thankful to Ukrainian Allies for providing us with the tools! Source: bild.de/politik/auslan…

For weeks I've been arguing EU must quickly strike a deal with US on trade, as our main preoccupation is not trade but security, and we must avoid a perfect storm of negotiating Russia peace, defence & NATO & trade at the same time. Well, here it comes.🤷‍♂️ on.ft.com/4409O4f

Reportedly, this is Belaya airfield, Irkutsk region of Russia. In terms of cost-efficiency ratio, #Ukraine's operation on June 1, 2025, is unprecedented. A single FPV drone can cost as little as $300 to $600. Russia's modernized Tu-95MS strategic bomber is valued at more than $100 million.
