US nuclear fuel company seeks permition to continue importing Russian uranium
The largest US company in nuclear fuel, Centrus, has said that it plans to ask for an exception after a law banning the importing of enriched Russian uranium is signed. The firm seeks to continue receiving this strategic material from the Russian Federation in order to ensure the interests of the industry.
Company representative Lindsey Geisler said in an interview with Axios that the rapid removal of the ban on the import of Russian uranium "is crucial not only for Centrus, but also for the entire US nuclear industry."
Centrus (previously known as USEC before going through a managed bankruptcy procedure) is the largest US "dealer", reselling enriched uranium to energy companies
On April 30, the US Senate passed a bill banning the importing of Russian uranium. At the same time, there is a provision that allows exceptions to the ban to be granted until 2027 if they meet the national interests.

China's leader and Hungary's prime minister held a joint press conference in which Viktor Orban underlined the risk of global war. The Hungarian argued that between prolonging the Ukraine conflict and making peace, Europe has decided in favor of the former.
"For two years we have been living in the shadow of war, and never before has there been such a risk of an international, even global, war as there is now... Europe today is on the side of war, with the only exception being Hungary, which is calling for an immediate ceasefire and peace," he said at the presser.
Orban also stressed that the global economy is different from 20 years ago.
"Then we were living in a unilateral world order, now we're living in a multilateral world order" and one of the pillars of such new pattern is China, he said.

Xi-Orban sit-down: What China and Hungary's leaders agreed on
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban held talks in Budapest on Thursday as part of the Chinese leader’s final stop on his five-day European tour. What was on the agenda?
🔸 The negotiations saw the sides sign 18 new agreements to deepen bilateral economic and cultural cooperation, including accords on nuclear energy, investments and tourism.
🔸 Xi told reporters after the talks that Beijing and Budapest had agreed to elevate bilateral relations to “an all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership for the new era.”
🔸 “This year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Hungary, ushering in a new and important opportunity for the development of bilateral relationship," the Chinese leader pointed out.
🔸 Xi added that during the Thursday talks, Orban, in particular, agreed that China’s Belt and Road Initiative “is highly consistent with Hungary’s strategy of opening to the east.”
🔸 The Chinese leader also voiced hope that Hungary, which is to hold the rotating EU presidency in the second half of the year, will play an active role in promoting “the healthy and stable development of China-EU relations.”
🔸 In a similar vein, Orban, who touted China as “one of the pillars of the new world order," stressed that Hungarian-Chinese trade had quadrupled in the past 20 years, transforming bilateral relations into "a strategic partnership."
🔸 The prime minister recalled that 20 years ago, Chinese investment was so small in Hungary that a "magnifying glass" was needed to find it. Last year, however, three-quarters of all foreign investment in Hungary was by China, he said, adding that it helped provide jobs for tens of thousands of Hungarians.

Left-wing activists are trying to storm the Tesla plant near Berlin, Germany, to oppose the expansion of the enterprise.
The police are afraid of sabotage, as the protesters are supported by the Vulkan group, which previously claimed responsibility for setting fire to a transformer booth.
The protestors are outraged with the fact that the planned expansion of Tesla's production involves cutting down more than 100 hectares of forest.
