unreasonably accused Chinese
companies of not fully cooperating

spokesman, via 'The Independent' .

with the investigation were left
feeling "shocked and disappointed.".
The spokesman went on to state that any

and 38.1% on Chinese EVs starting on July 4. .
Those tariffs would apply to all
foreign brands of electric vehicles

Leaders expressed that the agreement
was meant to show unity in the face
of Russian aggression in Ukraine.
It’s a very strong message
to Putin that Putin cannot
outlast us, and we will stand
by Ukraine as long as it takes, Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission
president, via 'The Independent'.
It is not European
taxpayers that are
paying for the Russian
damage [in Ukraine]
but it is Russia, Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission
president, via 'The Independent'.

dividends and maturities from approximately $300
billion in assets frozen when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.

The decision comes as a major boost for
Ukraine as Kyiv fights through a grueling
2024 against a better-equipped Russia.
Finally, we see the first step of
fairness in making sure that the
aggressor, and not the good people
from countries that support us,
are paying for Ukraine’s victory, Kira Rudik, Opposition leader in
Kyiv’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada,
via 'The Independent'.
We applaud this step.
We hope that it is only
the first of many more
steps. And we will use
this money wisely, Kira Rudik, Opposition leader in
Kyiv’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada,
via 'The Independent'
