🇪🇺❌🤠👍👁👺 EU votes to ban anonymity for crypto and increase monitoring of users

➡️ The Anti-Money Laundering Regulation passed a final vote in the European Parliament.

The bill passed by the European Parliament will force crypto firms to collect more data on users and their transactions, enforce stronger monitoring of non-custodial wallets, and ban tools bolstering anonymity such as crypto mixers and privacy tokens.

🇷🇺🚫📃🚫🔫❌🛰 — 🇺🇸 Axios | Russia vetoes UN resolution denouncing use of nuclear weapons in space | April 24, 2024:

"Russia on Wednesday vetoed a draft resolution before the United Nations Security Council that would have called on countries to prevent a nuclear arms race in outer space.

Why it matters: Russia's veto comes after U.S. officials alleged earlier this year that Moscow is developing a new space-based nuclear weapon to destroy satellites.

China was the only nation to abstain from the vote, and Russia the only vote against the measure. The other 13 members, including the U.S., voted in favor.

Driving the news: The UN draft resolution, prepared by Japan and the U.S., would have affirmed the obligation of countries to comply with the 1967 Outer Space Treaty.

The treaty bars signatories, including the U.S. and Russia, from placing "in orbit around the Earth any objects carrying nuclear weapons or any other kinds of weapons of mass destruction" or anywhere else in outer space."

🇧🇾❗️🇵🇱🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 — 🇷🇺 Russian media RIA Novosti on Telegram:

"The Belarusian authorities published a military doctrine, which was approved the day before by the All-Belarusian People's Assembly.

The document talks about the likelihood of Belarus being involved in an international armed conflict, including due to the intensive military preparations of the countries of Eastern Europe, the aggressive policy of the leadership of Poland and the Baltic countries.

In addition, the doctrine takes into account the likelihood of the West switching to violent methods leading to provoking an “internal armed conflict” in Belarus, as well as deliberate attempts by Western countries to destroy integration ties in the CSTO and the Union State.‌‌"
