The attacks forced shipping giant Maersk to stop operations at the Chornomorsk Fishing Port in the Odesa region this week, redirecting cargo to Romania’s Constanta Port. Ukraine says it would still provide security, but the vessel owners decided to halt traffic due to heightened security threats. “Previously, there had also been many hits on ships, but most of them concerned ships already docked in ports,” Andrii Klymenko, head of the Black Sea and Baltic Strategic Research Monitoring Group, told POLITICO. Vessel owners have halted operations, wanting to see how the situation unfolds and what new solution Ukraine can find, Klymenko…
The European Commission announced a €890 million fine against Google on Thursday over alleged self-preferencing practices and unfair treatment of app developers, just as the Trump administration prepares a fresh round of trade duties.

However, for entrepreneurs, this move is far from a casual one and requires considerable planning and strategy. This includes everything from choosing the right visa and understanding tax implications, to planning…
It’s not every day that for the low price of two airport coffees you could become the owner of a twin-engine aircraft… At least in theory. Spain’s airport and air-navigation manager Aena is looking for a buyer for a Piper PA-23 Apache after the aircraft was legally declared abandoned at Seville Airport. The plane is now up for public auction, with bids starting at just €10, not including the additional deposit of €0.50. How does a plane end up being declared legally abandoned?

Pushed on whether Miliband could work effectively with his White House counterparts, Stephens said only: “People were people. People’s view of President Trump in 2016 is probably a lot different than it is … now.” While Miliband was “wrong then,” Stephens acknowledged he had also made remarks “where you come back a few years later and say, Yeah, why did I say that? I don’t think that’s really right.” Miliband was previously quizzed about his combative comments following the U.S. president’s second election victory in 2024. He has described his prior statements as “irrelevant,” adding: “I genuinely don’t think that…

The State Duma approved the bill in its second and third readings simultaneously. State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin made no effort to obscure who the law was aimed at. “We are talking about those who harm our country,” he said before the vote. “About extremists, traitors to our homeland.…
Hollywood star Zendaya has come under fire for wearing 3,000-year-old Iranian gold artefacts as earrings at a London photocall for Christopher Nolan’s film The Odyssey, which some critics have called a misappropriation of one of the ancient world’s most significant collections of objects. The earrings — gold disc medallions dating to the first millennium BCE and attributed to the Ziwiyeh hoard, a collection discovered in northwest Iran in the late 1940s — were remounted with diamonds and 18-karat gold by London jeweller Glenn Spiro as part of his Materials of the Old World series. They are owned by Barron London,…

The European Union has agreed to impose a new round of sanctions against Russia, following chaotic negotiations that threatened to put the entire package at risk. Greece, whose veto had until now prevented a deal, secured an exemption to continue shipping Russian LNG to non-EU clients for the foreseeable future. It marks the 21st sanctions package since February 2022. The agreement, reached on Thursday by ambassadors, is considerably watered down and raises serious questions about the influence of national economic interests in the yearslong campaign to cripple Moscow’s ability to finance the invasion of Ukraine. Still, the bloc managed to…
