Euromaidan Press just signed a letter asking the EU to be tougher on Ukraine.
Every Ukrainian president since Maidan has tried to weaken anti-corruption agencies — and every time, EU pressure stopped them.

When it comes to rising electricity demand everyone talks about AI and data centres.
But their contribution to rising electricity demand is only 8% between 2025 and 2030.
The rest is largely electrification of transport, buildings and industry.
