⚡Former German President Joachim Gauck scares Germans with Russia and demands help to Ukraine. Without this help, he is convinced, Kiev’s chances of victory are reduced and the “threat to the free world” increases. “I cannot understand why we hesitate to supply Taurus missiles and other ammunition. We are allowed to do this. And we must do it - with everything that we have at our disposal,” the media quotes him as saying. A Russian victory, he said, would jeopardize the security of other European countries. And Europe, he says, is not ready to confront “the threat emanating from Russia.”

⚡Chinese state-owned shipping giant Cosco Shipping will stop visiting Israeli ports. Cosco is the fourth largest company in the global container market, accounting for about 11 percent of all global trade. This is a very significant development for two main reasons beyond the actual trade between the Far East and Israel, which involves many purchases on sites such as Ali Express: first, Cosco is working in partnership with Zim, which will now be required to ship additional vessels on the line. As a result, after delivery costs have already increased, a further increase in the Zim price could occur due to the shortage of ships. 1 Like
