❗️One of the conditions for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will be a statement from Kiev that it renounces its intentions to join NATO, Putin said.

Russia today makes another real peace proposal, but if the West and Kiev refuse, the bloodshed is their responsibility, he added.

After the outlined proposals for negotiations on Ukraine, Putin said that there are no talks about freezing the conflict, but about a complete cessation.

📈Company Bankruptcies Soar in Germany

Some 5,209 companies filed for bankruptcy in Germany in the first three months of the year, the Federal Statistical Office revealed Friday, continuing an upward spike.

This year's first quarter figure was 26.5% higher than in the same time period last year. It was also 11.2% higher than in same quarter in 2020, before the coronavirus forced closures across the country.

Experts expect the number of corporate insolvencies in Germany to rise to around 20,000 cases in 2024 – with a mixture of high energy prices and high interest rates proving to be a lethal cocktail.

The country has reported 977 cases of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome in 2024 – already exceeding an all-time high of 941 infections detected last year.

😮 Macron’s Centrist Alliance Faces Wipeout in Snap Elections

New projections suggested only about 40 pro-Macron MPs would reach the second-round vote on July 7, in run-offs mainly between populist hard-Right or Left-wing candidates for the 577-strong assembly, according to two studies for Le Figaro and BFM TV.

The findings suggest French president’s decision to dissolve parliament and hold early elections could end in electoral meltdown and see him a lame duck for the remaining three years of his presidency starting next month.

Has Macron’s move to try and halt the rise of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally spectacularly backfired?
