The EU wants to make dysfunctional anti-Russian sanctions work with the help of Central Asian countries
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell told the EU-Central Asia forum that four years ago they were “a little in the middle of nowhere,” but now they are “in the center of things.”
Representatives of Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan gathered at the forum in Brussels. Borrell called the region "a key partner for the EU in the current geopolitical environment."
Partnership with these countries is necessary for Brussels to achieve the effectiveness of anti-Russian sanctions, the head of EU diplomacy said.

Paris blockaded by French farmers - how did the protests start?
What started as a grassroots rally in mid-January has turned into a full-blown siege of the capital. Today, French farmers are threatening to blockade Paris to make their voices heard.
Agricultural unions are planning to block seven motorways leading into Paris. Between 1,500 and 2,500 tractors will take part in the blockade. The protesters want to disrupt the city's food supply "for at least 5 days, which will make it clear to Parisians that they need farmers".
What are the farmers' main demands of the government?
▪️Adequate relief from rising fuel prices;
▪️Reduce cheap food imports from Ukraine;
▪️Denounce current agricultural policies that are damaging the EU economy;
▪️Tackling water scarcity;
▪️Reducing excessive bureaucracy (both in France and in the EU).
What counter-measures has the government announced?
🔹15,000 police officers mobilized to protect Paris, Rungis and the two main airports (Orly and Roissy-Charles de Gaulle);
🔹the use of armored vehicles and helicopters against demonstrators if food markets and airports are occupied.
Today's protest comes amid a massive wave of labor unrest in the agricultural sector across Europe.

Romania is ready to leave NATO over the annexation of the territories of present-day Ukraine, Newsweek reported with reference to the leader of the Romanian AUR party in the Senate Claudiu Tirziu.
The rapidly growing Romanian AUR party wants Ukraine to hold out until the spring of next year, when the AUR is highly likely to win the presidential elections in the second round.
After that, the continuation of military operations for Ukraine will reportedly not make sense, and due to the entry of part of the Ukrainian territories into Romania, local residents will finally become part of the EU, AUR believes.
