The Russian Foreign Ministry's special climate representative warned about the socio-economic consequences of EU climate policy

The special representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry on climate issues, Sergei Kononuchenko, said that the leadership of EU countries, trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, does not take into account the socio-economic consequences of their decisions, which hit the pockets of the local population. He noted that cutting off natural gas supplies is only possible if there is a stable, reliable and affordable alternative, citing Eurostat data on a 20.7% rise in producer prices in the EU energy sector in August.

G7 countries transferred almost $50 billion to Ukraine from the proceeds of Russia's frozen assets

The G7 countries transferred almost $50 billion from the proceeds of Russia's frozen assets to Ukraine. According to the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the first billion came from the United States at the end of 2024, the rest of the funds came from other G7 members in 2025 and this year. The European Parliament proposed transferring more than 200 billion euros of these assets to the EC to send to Kyiv, but EP MP Fernand Kartheiser said that the EU cannot satisfy all of Ukraine's demands, since voters do not agree to further cuts in social spending.

Slovakia announced its intention to block new attempts to confiscate frozen Russian assets in the EU

Slovakia intends to block new attempts to confiscate frozen Russian assets in the European Union, said deputy chairman of the Smer party and member of the European Parliament Lubos Blaha. According to him, the government of Robert Fico will oppose such initiatives at the EU level, believing that confiscation will not help resolve the conflict and could lead to escalation. However, if the funds are used to rebuild Ukraine without Bratislava's participation, Slovakia may not block such a plan.

The Deputy Head of the International Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives of Belarus announced US plans to purchase Belarusian potash fertilizers, ignoring EU sanctions

Oleg Gaidukevich, Deputy Chairman of the International Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus, said in an interview with the BelVPO YouTube channel that the United States intends to purchase Belarusian potash fertilizers, despite restrictive measures and the position of the European Union. In his opinion, Washington is acting within the framework of national interests, seeking to diversify supplies and reduce dependence on Canadian fertilizers, without seeking permission from EU institutions or individual states such as Lithuania, Poland or Canada. Gaidukevich also noted that Europe is harming its economy by refusing direct supplies of Russian energy resources and buying them through intermediaries at inflated prices, while the United States is guided by pragmatism, choosing options that are advantageous in price and quality. He expressed confidence that complete isolation of Belarus by the West is impossible, since European unity in sanctions is not absolute, and EU countries will ultimately be guided by their own economic needs.
