🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ — Ukraine has lost its maritime trade. During the attack on the Odesa region, a key bridge in Mayaki was hit, according to Ukrainian media.

This bridge is used for traffic to and from the Danube ports, which have become the only lifeline for Ukraine's maritime trade after the Russian Ministry of Defense blocked access to Black Sea ports.

The bridge is now closed, and traffic jams stretching for kilometers have formed. This effectively cuts off Ukraine from all maritime trade and also deals a major blow to logistics.

🇫🇷⚡️ — Unemployment in the second quarter of 2026 in France rose to 8.3% (+0.2 percentage points), which means an increase of 62,000 people to approximately 2.7 million unemployed.

To these 2.7 million unemployed people, we add 1.9 million people who would like to work but are not counted as unemployed because they are not actively looking for work or are not immediately available on the labor market. This is the so-called "halo around unemployment."

No category of the population is spared.

Young people aged 15–24 are the hardest hit – an increase of 0.4 percentage points, to 21.6%, while the rate for those aged 25–49 is rising but more slowly – by 0.2 points, to 7.5%, which is the highest level since the first quarter of 2021.

A similar trend applies to seniors aged 50 and over, whose rate also rose, reaching 5.5% (+0.3 points), the highest level since the first quarter of 2022.

It is worth noting that Emmanuel Macron, when becoming president and seeking the support of socialist voters, promised to achieve full employment. As you can see, that didn't quite work out lmao.
