The EU has approved an indefinite freeze of ~€210bn in Russian sovereign assets. That ends the 6-month renewal cycle which Hungary used to try to block it.
The freeze lasts until Russia ends the war and pays reparations.

Well, emergency booklet received. Looks pretty good. I especially like the timeline overview of what to expect because most people have no idea. Going to use it as a checklist to see if I forgot anything.

The EU aims to agree by Friday on a long-term freeze of Russian central bank assets, a major legal shift that would remove the need to renew the freeze every six months. This would block veto threats from Hungary or Slovakia and pave the way for using the €210B as collateral for loans to Ukraine.

Scientists issue urgent warning about chemicals, found to cause cancer and infertility as well as harming environment
Scientists have issued an urgent warning that some of the synthetic chemicals that help underpin the current food system are driving increased rates of cancer, neurodevelopmental conditions and infertility, while degrading the foundations of global agriculture.
The health burden from phthalates, bisphenols, pesticides and Pfas “forever chemicals” amounts to up to $2.2tn a year – roughly as much as the profits of the world’s 100 largest publicly listed companies, according to the report published on Wednesday. Continue reading...
