The centralized data from customs shows that the trade deficit between the EU and China exceeded one billion euros per day, in July 2026. The figures come…

A financial company created by the fugitive Moldovan oligarch Ilan Șor, with the support of a Russian state bank linked to the defense industry, has injected at least 6.9 billion dollars into the international banking system, using a vast network of shell companies and falsified trade documents to circumvent Western sanctions imposed on Russia.
