Analysis

The comment came as the war in Ukraine drags on, and the diesel deal was announced without Kyiv's consent.
Diplomacy and Conflict

Intelligence

Europe
Stockholm, The Hague, Madrid and Warsaw asked Brussels to put frozen Russian central-bank reserves back on the table. The legal fight is the same one that stalled last winter.
