1.500 Tage nach Beginn der russischen Invasion. Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj empfängt Gordon Repinski in Kiew zu einem Gespräch. Mitten in der globalen Eskalation durch den Iran-Krieg warnt Selenskyj vor einem gefährlichen Fokus-Verlust des Westens. Er spricht über die bittere Erkenntnis, dass Patriot-Raketen nun im Nahen Osten statt über Kiew gebraucht werden, und seine Sorge, dass US-Präsident Donald Trump die Sanktionen gegen russisches Öl de facto aushebeln könnte. Selenskyj findet außerdem deutliche Worte für den ungarischen Premier Viktor Orbán. Er bezeichnet ihn offen als „Verbündeten Putins“ innerhalb der EU und wirft ihm Erpressung vor, weil Orbán die Freigabe von…

Currently, roughly 4 million Iranians live abroad, and most of them migrated during or after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. In Europe, Germany leads with over 300,000 Iranians, followed by Sweden and the UK, each home to around 100,000. In 2025, only 8,000 Iranians sought asylum in Europe – less than 1% of all applications. But with a population of 90 million, the EU Asylum Agency warns that even partial instability could trigger a…
POLITICO reported Wednesday that some Baltic and Nordic countries have a plan to give Ukraine enough money to keep it afloat through the first half of this year, even if Orbán maintains his veto. But when it comes to peace negotiations, Zelenskyy was clear that Trump’s influence will still be key. “We need negotiations. We support them,” Zelenskyy said in the interview. “We don’t trust Russia, but I think, and I trust that Americans really want to finish with this war. I hope that they will help us, but we need more pressure on Russia, not on me.” His comments…
The leading Fidesz lawmaker in the European Parliament, Tamás Deutsch, turned the tables and accused Tisza of spreading false information. “As part of this serious interference, the pro-Ukrainian and pro-Brussels Tisza party is spreading disinformation through sympathetic media outlets in Brussels and Hungary,” he told POLITICO. “Hungary and its government will not accept pressure or interference in its democratic processes and will do their utmost to stand up for the interests of the Hungarian people.” Forcing resignations Because the deadline to register candidates for the April 12 vote has passed, the names on the party lists can’t be changed.

The most successful companies of the next decade will be those that move away from “command and control” management toward a model of high autonomy and high accountability. This transition is only possible when supported by the right digital infrastructure. By providing total visibility into goals and progress, workplace platforms allow managers to step back and let their teams lead. Trust is not a feeling; in a business context, trust is a function of transparency. When everyone can see the “North Star” goals and the progress toward them, micromanagement becomes obsolete. Radical Transparency as a Management Tool When a company’s…
“Hungary does not accept the shutdown of the Druzhba oil pipeline,” Czepek said, adding that the delegation’s job is to verify the pipeline’s condition and “create the conditions necessary for restarting it.” The pipeline delivers roughly 5 million metric tons of Russian crude to Hungary each year and is key to supplying the country’s Danube refinery, he said. Czepek said the delegation, which was joined by Slovak experts, plans to meet Ukrainian energy officials as well as EU representatives and diplomats stationed in Kyiv to discuss the situation surrounding the Druzhba pipeline and the possibility of restarting deliveries. The southern…

The mission, which includes Gábor Czepeka, a deputy minister at Hungary’s Ministry of Energy, and a team of oil industry specialists, comes after months of dispute between Hungary and Slovakia—the two remaining importers of Russian crude via the pipeline— and Ukraine, which controls the transit infrastructure on its…
Published on 11/03/2026 – 16:14 GMT+1•Updated 16:26 Historical figures like Winston Churchill will soon be replaced by native wildlife on UK banknotes. In a public consultation run by the Bank of England, the theme of nature came out on top. The exact plants and animals that will be on the notes will be chosen later this year. “Nature is more than just scenery, it is the living thread that binds our landscapes, our history, and our future together,” says Scottish wildlife filmmaker Gordon Buchanan, who is part of an expert panel compiling the list. “To protect nature is to protect…
