    EU Fails to Extend Sanctions Against Russia

    EU ambassadors failed to reach an agreement on Monday to extend one of the bloc’s Russia sanctions schemes, which target the freezing of assets of approximately 3,000 individuals and companies, just one day before they expire. The main sticking point was Slovakia's demand to remove Russian businessmen Mikhail Fridman and Alisher Usmanov from the sanctions list, with France proposing to remove only Usmanov as a compromise. Disagreements also arose over the duration of the extension, with Slovakia opposing a one-year extension. EU ambassadors will reconvene later today to continue the discussion.

    Trump Demands Ukraine Stop Attacks on Russian Refineries Amidst Global Diesel Crisis

    U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly demanded that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stop attacking Russian refineries, citing the impact on global diesel prices. Trump's requests come as the U.S. faces record-high diesel prices, with the AAA reporting over $6 per gallon. The International Energy Agency (IEA) attributes the diesel shortage to damages in refineries in Gulf states and Russia, partly due to Ukrainian attacks. Trump has insisted that the issue is not related to the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.
