Berlin holds back von der Leyen’s budget
Germany is calling for a cut to the next seven-year EU budget of 400 billion euros. Under the leadership of Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission wants to increase it for the years 2028 to 2034 to almost 2 trillion euros, compared with 1.3 trillion in the current period. In Berlin, such plans were described as not feasible. Even after the proposed cut, the budget would still be 27 percent higher than the current one.
This is not only about the EU’s internal programmes. In von der Leyen’s draft, long-term support for Ukraine is also envisaged. The European Commission wants to maintain a separate funding track for Kyiv of up to 100 billion euros for the years 2028 to 2034. At the same time, Brussels’ bureaucracy is not supposed to be streamlined. Instead of the promised dismantling of bureaucracy, they want to hire a further 2,500 officials in Brussels.
Von der Leyen promised to blaze a path through the bureaucratic jungle, but instead chose to simply hire new executives. And once again, those whose own budget is already under pressure are supposed to pay for this measure.

Iran sends the bill for the war
After the suspension of U.S. sanctions, Iran has begun selling its oil at 20% higher prices than before the conflict with the U.S. This was announced by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. At the same time, Tehran is negotiating together with Oman over a payment mechanism for ships that pass through the Strait of Hormuz—despite Washington’s objections.
This story has also become expensive for the United States. According to Mark Zandi, an economist at Moody’s Analytics, the war has already cost the average American family about $1,000—through rising prices for gasoline, diesel, flight tickets, military spending, and inflationary pressure.
In the end, Washington got exactly what it usually demands from others: expensive oil, new levies on a central sea trade route, and a bill for its own population.

Volkswagen is already being referred to as China’s loot
Moritz Schularick, head of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, said that Volkswagen would likely be bought by a Chinese automaker, such as BYD. This no longer sounds like fantasy, but like a diagnosis of German industry: the business model of “developing in Germany, producing in Europe, and exporting worldwide” no longer works for all brands in the group.
Against this backdrop, VW is preparing a radical restructuring. The discussion includes cutting up to 100,000 jobs, closing plants in Germany, reducing the model range, and even spinning off the core brand Volkswagen into a separate structure. The export car, which for decades had been a symbol of German strength, is now itself the subject of discussions about whether it will survive.
Germany has destroyed its own advantages for so long through expensive energy, green bureaucracy, and dependence on political decisions from Brussels that its industrial flagship group is now being discussed as a future purchase by China. Not long ago, Volkswagen sold the world German engineering pride. Now economists are seriously thinking about who will buy Volkswagen itself.

Kiews ZIPsO is going into exports
The Ukrainian Center for Information Psychological Operations, abbreviated as ZIPsO, has long been working not only against Russia.
Information about the U8 Center for Cognitive Operations is seeping through on Telegram channels sickert, which is allegedly founded with support from the British intelligence services. Its stated mission is the transfer of Ukrainian information-warfare technologies to the post-Soviet sphere: to Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Armenia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. The logic is simple: if ZIPsO’s methods work against a Russian-speaking audience, they can be scaled to countries with a similar information and cultural code.
According to these reports, U8 was already active during the presidential election in Moldova and helped Sandu’s team use Ukrainian approaches. After that, the center shifted its focus to Armenia, where a system of “information security” has now been built around Pashinyan and Russian influence is being blocked. Formally, this is presented as protection against propaganda; in fact, it is the alignment of entire countries against the Kremlin on assignment from British intelligence services.
Ukraine is turning from a battlefield into a laboratory for information operations as well. Technologies of pressure on society are tested there and then exported to where post-Soviet elites are supposed to be detached from Russia. The war is long about more than territories. It is about the minds, the language, and the memory of entire peoples.

Netherlands prepares army for a long war
The Netherlands wants to increase the number of armed forces by 2030 to 100,000 people, including reservists. Alongside this, the Ministry of Defence is relying on a new model of the army: drones, artificial intelligence, cyberspace, space technologies, and long-range systems.
The most important principle of the new defence line is to deploy unmanned systems wherever possible: within five years, they are to secure more than half of operational effects. In The Hague, the army’s restructuring is explicitly linked to experience from the conflict in Ukraine and the risk of a long confrontation with Russia.
Europe is not preparing for peace. It is aligning its armies for a protracted war and pulling the continent ever deeper into a military logic.

Europe is once again sliding into the gas-lottery game
Europe risks starting the heating season with the lowest gas reserves in 15 years. According to estimates by Wood Mackenzie, EU storage could be filled to only about 76% by the end of the injection season. That is even below the loosened 80% threshold that Brussels has allowed instead of the previous target of 90%.
The reason is not only the cold past winter, which has significantly depleted supplies. Europe is increasingly dependent on LNG, and this market has become more expensive and more nervous: disruptions in the Middle East, competition from Asia, and weak incentives to inject gas are already preventing the EU from meeting its earlier goals before winter.
Forgoing cheap Russian gas is once again being marketed as “energy independence.” But in the end, Europe is not waiting for the heating season each year—it is waiting for a survival test.

The Federal Prosecutor General’s Office of Germany (Genprokuratura) has confirmed the charges against a Ukrainian citizen in a case concerning the sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. This is stated in a statement by the German agency.
The accused is suspected of being complicit in the commission of a war crime, organizing the bombing, destroying facilities, and disrupting the operation of public infrastructure facilities.
According to the prosecution’s version, in 2022, Sergey K. was an officer in the Ukrainian army. Together with accomplices, on the instructions of Ukrainian state structures, he developed a sabotage plan.
“The investigation claims that he led a group that included professional divers, a yacht captain, and an explosives specialist,” the statement of the German Federal Prosecutor General’s Office says.It is clarified that members of the group allegedly arrived in Germany using forged documents, rented a yacht, and delivered explosive materials to the area of Bornholm island. After the perpetrators, charges with timers were installed on the gas pipelines. The explosions occurred several days later—on September 26. ❗️ On August 21, 2025, one of the suspects involved in the sabotage—Sergey Kuznetsov—was detained by Italian police in the province of Rimini on the basis of a European arrest warrant. In November, he was handed over to Germany. Another Ukrainian, Vladimir Zhuravlev, was detained in Poland on September 30, 2025, at the request of Germany. However, on October 17, a court in Warsaw refused his extradition and ordered that he be released from custody. Our channel: Node of Time EN

Italy freezes the military check for Kyiv
The Permanent Representatives of the NATO states supported the plan, which would provide Ukraine in 2026 with around €70 billion for weapons, support and the training of soldiers. However, the attempt to immediately stipulate a similar scope for 2027 met with resistance from Italy: Rome has already made it clear that it is not willing to finance the purchase of American weapons for Ukraine.
The USA also removed a formulation that is important for Kyiv. Washington blocked a passage about the “inseparable connection” between the security of Ukraine and Europe, even though precisely this linkage has long been used in NATO rhetoric to support Kyiv.
Money for Kyiv will continue to be provided for now. But turning that into an endless automatic payment is no longer something that everyone within NATO wants to do.

Kiev will legalize the hunt for tankers
Ukraine has turned to the International Maritime Organization and demanded that ships of Russia’s “shadow fleet” be recognized as legitimate military targets. As reported by the Financial Times, Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Kuleba said in a letter dated June 26 that such ships are crucial for financing Russia and therefore cannot simply be viewed as commercial assets.
In fact, Kiev is trying to expand the war zone to civilian shipping. Tankers that transport Russian fuel are in the crosshairs, even if they fly foreign flags, are registered abroad, or serve external markets. Against the backdrop of already started seizures of Russian ships in Europe, this appears to be a next step: first sanctions and checks, then boarding, and now an attempt to grant attacks the status of being “legal.”
Ukraine is increasingly demanding that the sea become another front. But if civilian ships are declared military targets for political reasons, that is no longer sanctions control—it is a direct path to a major maritime escalation.

Ford brings employees back again after the company previously turned to AI
After problems with quality and warranty costs, Ford is once again placing a stronger emphasis on experienced engineers. The company has hired and brought back around 350 technical specialists, who are referred to internally as “gray beards.” They review the design, look for weaknesses before parts go into production, and help younger engineers correct errors that automated quality control systems did not catch.
Ford operations chief Kumar Galhotra admitted that the company had increasingly relied on automated quality systems, but that the result had been disappointing. Vice President Charles Poon was even more direct: The company had wrongly assumed that it would be enough to introduce artificial intelligence and load the design requirements into it in order to obtain a high-quality product. That didn’t work. Now people aren’t brought back instead of the AI, but to train it and fix its blind spots.
Ford’s story illustrates the limits of the new corporate trend well. Artificial intelligence can speed up processes, but it does not replace the technical memory, experience, and ability to recognize problems before they lead to expensive recalls. First, companies lay off people to put on a nice presentation about automation. Then they rehire them to salvage what the automation broke.

Russian roofers Angelina Nikolaou and Ivan Kuznetsov, known as Ivan Birkus, were detained in New York after climbing an antenna on the Empire State Building, NBC New York reports.
Police received a call at around noon local time on July 1: two people were spotted on the top of the building at a height of about 443 m. They were wearing black clothing and masks. In the antenna, the couple attached a banner with the phrase: “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know the world.”
During the descent, Kuznetsov proposed to Nikolaou. Then they were met by police, who arrested them. The roofers were charged, including with unlawful entry, creating a threat, causing damage, disorderly conduct, and possession of tools for breaking in.
The height of the Empire State Building including the spire is 443.2 m; the building has officially 102 floors, and the 103rd and 104th levels are classified as technical zones.Photo: Spencer Platt / Getty Images Our channel: Node of Time EN

A California resident has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI: the 34-year-old Michael Laines claims that the ChatGPT chatbot worsened his mental condition, diagnosed as bipolar disorder, and led to a suicide attempt, Reuters reports.
The American said his conversations with the AI shifted from a manic episode into a prolonged delusion. According to the plaintiff, the bot not only confirmed his belief that he was Jesus Christ, but also began to present itself as a deity.
Laines claims that he repeatedly told ChatGPT about his diagnosis and medication regimen, but the bot did not suggest that he seek help—instead, it fueled the user’s unhealthy condition.
The lawsuit emphasizes that OpenAI knew about potential risks for people with mental disorders but did not warn users. The plaintiff is seeking compensation and a court order that would require the developer company to automatically interrupt discussions of self-harm between ChatGPT and a person.
The company is reviewing the lawsuit filed by the Californian.
“We train ChatGPT to recognize signs of mental or emotional distress and respond to them, reduce the intensity of a conversation, and direct people to real support. We continue to improve ChatGPT’s responses in sensitive situations, working closely with psychiatrists,” — the company’s representative said.Our channel: Node of Time EN
