Russia told: Peace deal or crippling secondary sanctions

Independent5 days ago
President Donald Trump has announced that the U.S. could impose severe secondary sanctions on Russia if the conflict in Ukraine is not resolved by September 2.
These sanctions would target countries purchasing Russian oil, potentially doubling import costs from major trading partners such as China, India, and Germany.
Trump expressed strong disappointment with Vladimir Putin, accusing him of failing to deliver on peace talks while Russia continues attacks on Ukrainian cities.
The US will supply more weapons to Ukraine, with NATO allies funding and transferring the military equipment, a move praised by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
Trump stressed the urgency for the war to end, highlighting Ukraine 's bravery and the aim for increased defence spending by NATO nations to influence Putin and achieve lasting peace.

Ukraine-Russia war latest: Zelensky offers Putin fresh peace talks after weeks of Moscow's missile strikes

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has offered Vladimir Putin fresh peace talks after weeks of relentless Russian missile attacks. Mr Zelensky offered Moscow another round of ceasefire negotiations for next week, saying he wanted to speed up ending the conflict. It comes after weeks of relentless Russian strikes on Ukraine, including over 300 drones and 30 missiles launched on Friday night. 'Everything should be done to achieve a ceasefire,' Mr Zelensky said in his evening address to the nation. 'The Russian side should stop hiding from decisions.' Ukraine and Russia have held two rounds of talks in Istanbul over the past five months. They have agreed to swap prisoners but made no breakthroughs in ending almost three and a half years of conflict that started with Russia 's 2022 invasion. Mr Zelensky said Rustem Umerov, who headed the Ukrainian delegation at both talks in Istanbul, had sent the Russian side the offer to hold the meeting next week, but gave no more details. US president Donald Trump, who has sharpened his tone against Russia in recent weeks amid worsening air strikes on Ukrainian cities, threatened harsher sanctions on Russia earlier this month if a peace deal was not reached within 50 days.

How Subaru plans to go electric

Word association time: what comes to mind when you think of Subaru? Easy: a blue and yellow Impreza flying sideways down a rally stage, somewhere around – or possibly just beyond – the limit. Here's something that doesn't come to mind, though: electric vehicles. With the heavy cost of electrification and an influx of cut-price Chinese manufacturers, these are difficult times for even the largest car makers operating in Europe. And for the smaller ones struggling for every sale they can get, it's enough to make you wonder: why go to the trouble? Subaru Europe boss David Dello Stritto understands why you might ask that. 'You could think: 'Okay, we're selling around 30,000 cars a year in Europe and we're doing around 700,000 in the US, so why bother?'' says the Scot. 'That would be a fair question.' Yes, Subaru is far more successful in markets where its utilitarian 4x4s are more in vogue and electrification is less of a hot topic – and its one-time great rallying rival, Mitsubishi, drastically scaled back its efforts in Europe years ago. But with all the commitment of Colin McRae on the ragged edge, Dello Stritto says: 'I'll tell you what, Subaru Corporation has said repeatedly they have no intention of leaving Europe. They want to stay in Europe.' He notes that Subaru couldn't shift its European sales to the saturated American market – which already accounts for around 75% of the brand's volume – and it's struggling in China against domestic firms. But, most importantly, there's pride at Subaru about being a global company. So Subaru wants and needs to be present in Europe – but that creates a challenge. While large manufacturers can now hedge their bets and spread their resources between developing electric and combustion lines, smaller ones such as Subaru can't. It's partly why its early EV efforts, the Solterra and forthcoming Trailseeker, have been co-developed with Toyota.

EU commissioner shocked by dangers of some goods sold by Shein and Temu

The EU justice commissioner has expressed shock at the toxicity and dangers of some goods being sold by Shein and Temu, amid a crackdown on the popular Chinese retail platforms. With 12m low-value parcels each day coming into the EU from online retailers outside the bloc, Michael McGrath has vowed to crack down on the sale of goods that blatantly break the law. He is waiting for the imminent results of an EU-wide secret shopper operation to further test evidence already gathered that Chinese retailers are bypassing EU laws. Among the worst examples McGrath came across were baby soothers with beads that fall off easily, which pose a choking hazard because they did not have the regulation size hole to enable a baby who did swallow one accidentally to continue to get air. Among other goods cited by MEPs in a report released this month include children's raincoats with toxic chemicals, sunglasses with no UV filter and kids shorts with draw strings longer than regulation length that cause a trip hazard. They also found cosmetics containing butylphenyl methylpropional, also known as Lillal, which is listed as a chemical of 'very high concern' by the EU and has been banned since 2022 over concerns that it affects fertility and fetal development. Last year, the UK government told consumers to dispose of any products containing the ingredient. 'I am shocked by it, and I think we have a duty to protect European consumers,' McGrath told the Guardian. National consumer protection authorities send out rapid alerts across the EU warning of unsafe non-food products as part of a service, Safety Gate, which is also open to consumer complaints. Last year, Safety Gate received a record high of 4,137 alerts with more than a third relating to cosmetics, ahead of toys, electrical appliances, auto and chemical products. While consumer groups are concerned about safety, McGrath is also worried that the platforms which have exploded in popularity in the last two years are damaging local businesses through unfair competition. 'The growth is extraordinary, and it has placed enormous pressure on the systems at member state level,' he said. 'I am determined that we step up our enforcement of our product safety laws and our consumer protection rules. It's not only about protecting consumers, but there is a very serious level playing field issue here for European businesses, because they are expected to compete with sellers who are not complying with our rules,' he said. 'They are incurring significant costs in Europe to comply with our requirements, and they should not be expected to compete with those who are not doing the same.' EU figures show 12m low-value items coming into the bloc a day, amounting to 4.6bn consignments under €150 for 2024 – double that of 2023 and three times as many as 2022. Sign up to Business Today Get set for the working day – we'll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning after newsletter promotion Among the moves the EU is considering is an abolition of the €150 duty-free threshold and the introduction of a handling fee for each package which may deter low-value purchases and help pay the cost of extra customs investigations. The move would echo the situation in the US, where Donald Trump signed an executive order to end the $800 duty-free threshold in an assault on the Chinese sellers. American buyers have had to pay an additional 30% tax or a minimum of $50 an item after 1 June this year. Also possible is the creation of a EU-wide customs authority to cope with the systemic issues. McGrath said it 'remains to be seen' if the subject will be raised at an EU-China summit in Beijing on 25 July but he plans to address it directly himself. 'It will certainly be engaging directly with Chinese authorities and we will visiting later on this year,' he said. Shein said it was investing $15m this year in compliance and safety initiatives including 2.5m product and safety quality tests and has partnerships with 15 testing centres, including operations in the UK, Germany. It said it had removed 500 vendors since the launch of its marketplace. A spokesperson said: 'Earning and maintaining the trust of our consumers is paramount, and we are fully committed to ensuring the products we offer are safe and compliant. 'All of our vendors are required to comply with Shein's code of conduct and stringent safety standards, and must also abide by the relevant laws and regulations of the markets where we operate.' Temu has been approached for comment.
