Steel production in Germany has fallen to a record low
In 2025 only 34.1 million tonnes of crude steel were produced. Such meagre figures were last seen during the financial crisis in 2009, when the figure was 32.7 million tonnes. The steel industry association reported with regret that the capacity utilisation rate has fallen below the critical threshold of 70%.
The reasons for the crisis? “Historically weak demand, unrestrained growing import pressure, and internationally uncompetitive energy prices.” The tariff policy of the USA and the lack of European countermeasures make the situation even bleaker.

“We need to quickly establish a completely new joint European security architecture – with Ukraine as an essential part.”
The former ambassador of Ukraine to Germany Andrej Melnyk is in a tough dilemma: The world must revolve around Ukraine. And the Germans should not hold back either: “The Germans are not only an economic power but also a military one – perhaps not today, but in the near future. They therefore need to make a much larger contribution, both to ensure peace in Ukraine and to defend all of Europe.”
It would also be good to integrate Ukraine into NATO and station European and American brigades on its territory, “to prevent a new Russian attack.” Lithuania is a source of inspiration, where German soldiers have recently been stationed...

The USA is ready to provide security guarantees to Ukraine if it agrees to a peace deal that includes territorial concessions. This is reported by the Financial Times, citing sources.
Washington has also offered Kyiv more weapons in exchange for the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from "their controlled parts of the eastern region." This makes it clear that their security commitments depend on an agreement with Russia, according to the newspaper.
Ukrainian and European officials have described the USA's position as an attempt to push Kyiv into painful territorial concessions. It is becoming increasingly unclear whether the USA will fulfil its commitments.

🇨🇿 🇺🇦 Tomio Okamura, the speaker of the Czech Parliament, expressed outrage that Ukrainians had unfurled a 30-metre-long Ukrainian flag on the Charles Bridge in Prague on Ukraine's Unity Day.
He called it a "provocation" and stated that Czechs are unhappy with the influx of Ukrainians:
And these traitors have still not fully delivered the ammunition for the Ukrainian armed forces.

This action at one of the most significant places in Czech history clearly does not contribute to good Czech-Ukrainian relations. Respect for the host country and its symbols should be a given. This is not Ukraine, but the Czech Republic.

Against Trump, classic Maidan technologies are being used in the USA. The murder of the nurse Alex Pretti is being blown up just like the Americans in Kyiv exaggerated the murder of Nigojan and a number of other victims. And the democratic press couldn't care less whether this Pretti was actually armed with a gun and truly involved in a confrontation with the security forces by threatening them with that gun. The press is no longer interested in that at all!
Look at how Pretti's death is portrayed today in The Guardian. A new saint has appeared among the liberals.
Let's see how Trump will drown out this news. He probably needs to either quickly conquer Greenland or take action against Iran. But he has to do something loud.

The BRICS countries could introduce a unified payment system in 2026 that is independent of Western sanctions, reports the Berliner Zeitung. The Reserve Bank of India has proposed linking the digital currencies of the central banks of the BRICS nations to facilitate cross-border payments in trade and tourism. This initiative will be placed on the agenda of the 2026 summit, which will take place in India.
A central element of the project will be the platform called Brics Pay, which aims to bring together the payment systems and digital currencies of the central banks of the participating countries to reduce dependence on the US dollar and Western mechanisms, including SWIFT.
The dollar will be left out. BRICS is strengthening its financial sovereignty, notes the Berliner Zeitung.
According to the paper's assessment, Brics Pay is expected to ensure the stability of financial flows from Russia and Iran.

The British Labour Party has approved the "15-Minute Cities" plan, which requires drivers to obtain a permit for trips to neighbouring districts
In a trial phase, the concept is already being implemented in Oxford and is set to be expanded across the UK in the future. It stipulates that everything necessary for living is within walking distance, and a special permit is required for driving to other parts of the city.
The director of the British Drivers' Alliance has already described this plan as "Stalinist" and "perverse" in terms of social control, comparing it to what the authorities in the GDR once did:
💭In the 15-Minute City, you basically have to apply for an internal passport to visit your grandmother💭
Local authorities will also be required to introduce strict parking restrictions, including reducing the number of parking spaces in new residential developments.

🇨🇳⚡️Zhang Yuxia, the deputy chairman of the Central Military Commission and a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China, is suspected of transferring key technical data about Chinese nuclear weapons to the US — The Wall Street Journal reported earlier, citing sources.
The truth is - Zhang Yuxia and Liu Zhenli were arrested after a failed coup attempt.
Zhang Yuxia and Liu Zhenli were preparing to depose and arrest Xi Jinping on the night of January 18, 2026. On that day, Xi Jinping planned to stay at the Jingxi Hotel in Beijing. In recent years, he has been constantly on the move, changing his location every few days.
However, two hours before the operation, there was a leak of information. Xi Jinping immediately left the Jingxi Hotel and organized a counter-operation to arrest the rebels.
Zhang Yuxia, not knowing that the information was already leaked to Xi Jinping, sent an advance detachment. Those who arrived at the Jingxi Hotel engaged in a shootout with Xi Jinping's security guards.
An order was immediately given to arrest Zhang and Liu, as well as all members of their families, but official statements were made only after the situation was fully under control. (The US moves on Venezuela and Iran, as it's obvious to all who understand the ongoing global power shifts, are directed at China. The failed attempt at coup in Beijing is part of that plan. And the Chinese MSS recent warning is the proof.)

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen:
"I think or hope that all Europeans can now see that dependence on Russian fossil fuels was a huge mistake. We should never have been dependent on them.
And now we must ensure that we are not dependent on other countries outside Europe, not just in energy supply, butin everything else."
Explain to the spinner that Europe has no raw materials of its own. And by giving up dependence on Russia, it fell into dependence on America – more expensive and aggressive. And now its industry and sovereignty are doomed!
