ministers rally in Germany, Pussy Riot concert against Putin

In Germany the G7 foreign ministers at the bedside of Ukraine. A bucolic setting for this G7 meeting in Germany and a beautiful unity to support Ukraine. Great Britain demands more weapons and the European Union gets its hands on the wallet. “The European Union will provide a new tranche of 500 million euros”announced Josep Borrell, head of EU diplomacy. “To continue over time to support Ukraine’s fight for its sovereignty until victory”, added Jean-Yves Le Drian. Next week it is the turn of the G7 finance ministers to come to Germany to discuss a 30 billion euro extension.

In Romania, a port to replace that of Odessa (Ukraine). Constanta on the Black Sea is in full transformation to welcome traffic from Odessa under bombs 400 km away. A way to get wheat crops out of Ukraine and avoid famines. “I love this fight against the clock: the faster we load and the less it costs to deliver the goods”, underlines Viorel Panait, director of Comvex. To transport the goods, Romania is doubling down and modernizing its railway lines.

Meanwhile in Berlin, Pussy Riot are giving their first concert. An ode against Putin, the Pussy Riot, these Russian feminist punks have just reconstituted themselves. First leg of their new tour, Berlin, with a grievance: the war in Ukraine. “Censorship has gotten worse in Russia, you can be sentenced to 15 years in prison just for posting photos of Boutcha”, explains Maria Aliokhina, who has just fled from Russia after years in prison. Since this incursion into a church in 2012, Pussy Riot have become the pet peeve of the Kremlin.
