Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reiterated his country’s commitment to joining the European Union, telling Euronews’ The Europe Conversation that Kyiv’s future lies within the bloc. Asked about the possibility of Ukraine joining the EU by 2030, Zelenskyy said during Euronews’ Enlargement Summit that although it may sound like “science fiction,” he would “like to believe that Ukraine will be in the EU before that date.” The Ukrainian leader went on to caveat expectations, emphasising his desire for the process to be conducted “in a fair way,” and only once Russia’s full-scale invasion has ended. “I would like that to…

“Les pays ont eu trois occasions d’atteindre leurs engagement dans le cadre de l’Accord de Paris, et à chaque fois, elles sont tombées à côté de la cible”, indique le rapport. “Nous avons toujours besoin d’une réduction d’ampleur sans précédent des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, dans un délai toujours plus court, dans un contexte géopolitique difficile.” Bien que la trajectoire représente un progrès depuis l’Accord de Paris, lorsque la hausse de température prévue se rapprochait de 4°C, elle est encore loin d’être suffisante, selon ce même document. Les Nations unies sont parvenues à la conclusion que l’augmentation…

More than three-and-a-half years after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, 23 French companies continue to operate in Russia. That’s just under a third of the 75 firms that were active in the country at the beginning of 2022, before the invasion of Ukraine in February that year. Since then, many French corporate giants – such as Société Générale, LVMH and Safran — have withdrawn, either under pressure from sanctions or to protect their reputations. Yet some of the companies that remain are heavyweights, and business is booming. Two French corporations are in the top 20…
