What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

In Brussels, European Union governments renewed sanctions on backers of Russia’s war, a process that involved the removal of two individuals. Concurrently, a Bucharest court declined a 30-day arrest request regarding a pro-Russian politician, Ciprian Ciucu. Prosecutors have since challenged this ruling. Meanwhile, in Germany, the cabinet approved a fuel-tax cut, while Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s coalition faced internal challenges following recent state election setbacks.
