Kosogov is a co-founder of LetterOne, Remedica’s parent company. Two other Russian businessmen at LetterOne have already been sanctioned: Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven, also co-founders, were sanctioned by the EU and U.K. in March 2022. “Remedica has not engaged in any discussions with the Cypriot government regarding concerns about EU sanctions related to individuals associated with LetterOne,” the generics firm said, adding: “Neither LetterOne nor Remedica have made any political donations to President Christodoulides’ administration.” The government has denied the allegations made in the video and calls it “hybrid activity” aimed at harming “the image of the government and the country.” Investigators…
A pro-Russian Telegram channel is sharing fake, doctored Euronews clips, some that include AI-generated voiceovers based on the voices of real Euronews reporters, to spread negative narratives about Ukrainian refugees in Europe. One clip focuses on the tragic fire in Crans-Montana, which blames a Ukrainian refugee for the blaze, despite no evidence to support this claim. The video adds approximately 15 seconds to a real Euronews report on the fire. It includes footage taken from social media that shows the blaze spreading and adds fake captions in Euronews’ style. Whilst the authentic clip starts narrating that a preliminary investigation revealed…
The European Union’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas will present fresh sanctions against Iran to member states as early as today to punish Tehran for its violent crackdown on protesters, two diplomats familiar with the discussion told Euronews. The proposed measures would fall under the EU’s human rights sanctions regime against Iran and would add to a wide range of travel bans and asset freezes already in place. At the start of the week, Kallas signalled that she was prepared to pursue fresh sanctions in response to the crackdown, which has claimed thousands of lives since protests began nearly two…

Published on 15/01/2026 – 13:19 GMT+1 Amid mounting pressure in Europe and abroad, Elon Musk’s social media platform has announced that it is implementing “technological measures to prevent its AI tool, Grok, from allowing the editing of images of real people in revealing clothing such as bikinis”, a restriction that will apply to all users, including paid subscribers. Grok’s image editing function had been used by some users to virtually undress pictures of real women and underage girls. The situation, described as “appalling” and “disgusting” by the European Commission, prompted the EU executive to launch a request for information and…
Along parts of the Great Ocean Road, heavy rain fell in a short time, sending water through towns and across roads. Authorities issued emergency warnings for communities near Wye River, Kennett River and Cumberland River, urging people to stay indoors and keep away from floodwaters. More than 170 millimetres of rain were recorded in the area. Local media showed cars swept from roads and carried onto beaches, with several vehicles stranded near a bridge. Despite the damage and disruption, officials said no injuries had been reported as crews continued to assess the situation.
But Weber was adamant he had done nothing wrong, saying: “I want to stop populism and anti-Europeans,” and adding that he’s happy to work alongside the centrist parties, but they need to listen to voters. The outcome of the 2024 EU election, which changed Parliament’s arithmetic in favor of right-wing and far-right parties, “has to be reflected” and “translated” into policy to show that Brussels is listening to its citizens, Weber said. There are more challenges to come for the old coalition — a deregulation package targeting environmental rules, a reversal of the ban on combustion engines, and a bill to…
