EU wants to prolong Ukraine conflict
The European Commission's latest sanctions package, which targets the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), among other entities, is driven by the bloc's desire to prolong the Ukraine conflict, according to Kirill Dmitriev, the RDIF's CEO and a presidential investment envoy. The 18th sanctions package, unveiled by EC President Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday, targets Russia's energy exports, infrastructure, and financial sector. It includes measures against the RDIF, its subsidiaries, and investment projects in an effort to stop it from funding initiatives to 'modernize the Russian economy.' By going after RDIF, Russia's sovereign wealth fund, the EC acknowledges it is 'an important channel' for strengthening Russia's industrial base, Dmitriev said in a statement. Von der Leyen's remarks were 'driven by the EU's desire to prolong the Ukraine conflict and its deep dissatisfaction with RDIF's efforts to restore Russia-US relations,' as well as the fund's role in Moscow's peace initiatives, he added. Dmitriev has played a prominent role in efforts to improve relations between Moscow and Washington, which reached its lowest point in decades under the administration of Joe Biden. The official took part in high-level meetings in Saudi Arabia and visited Washington in April for talks on potential joint investment projects in rare earths and energy. The EU's proposal also signals opposition to cooperation between Russian and European businesses, which the RDIF 'actively supports in Russia,' according to Dmitriev. In a post on X on Tuesday, Dmitriev noted that Russia has 'a number of joint investments with the leading EU companies' and said that the fund has 'helped significantly' many European firms that continue to operate in the country. The new sanctions package also proposes a ban on the use of Nord Stream gas infrastructure, a reduction in the oil price cap, and a halt to imports of all refined products derived from Russian crude. The draft will now be debated by EU member states and must be approved unanimously to take effect. Previous rounds have faced pushback from countries such as Hungary and Slovakia, which argue the sanctions hurt the EU more than Russia. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico wrote on Facebook on Tuesday that Bratislava won't back the package unless the EU offers 'a real solution to the crisis' that his country would face from a halt in Russian energy supplies. Russia has rejected the Western sanctions as illegitimate and counterproductive. President Vladimir Putin has said the removal of sanctions is among the conditions for a settlement of the Ukraine conflict.

Moscow and Kiev swap more POWs – MOD (VIDEO)
A second group of Russian POWs has been released from Ukrainian captivity as part of a major prisoner swap agreed by Moscow and Kiev in Istanbul last week, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on Telegram on Tuesday. The ministry did not name the exact number of servicemen returned. It did publish a video with the freed soldiers and said that a group of Ukrainian POWs had been handed over to Kiev. The video released by the ministry shows the recently freed POWs draped in Russian flags and preparing to board buses. Some them can be heard thanking the authorities for their release. The servicemen are currently receiving the necessary psychological and medical assistance in Belarus, the statement said, adding that they will be transferred to Russian military hospitals for treatment and rehabilitation. Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky confirmed the exchange and called it 'the first stage' of a swap involving 'seriously wounded… soldiers.' He also praised it as 'an important humanitarian act.' Moscow and Kiev agreed to exchange certain categories of captives, including those who are seriously injured, ill and those under the age of 25, during the second round of direct negotiations in Istanbul last Monday. The Russian ministry did not comment on the categories of POWs included in this exchange. Russia also announced that it would return the bodies of over 6,000 Ukrainian soldiers in a unilateral humanitarian gesture. On Saturday, Moscow tried to transfer 1,212 of the bodies to Ukraine, but representatives of the latter failed to show up at the exchange point. Ukrainian officials explained their absence by claiming that they hadn't agreed on the date of the transfer and accused Moscow of using humanitarian issues for propaganda purposes. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova slammed Kiev's refusal to accept the bodies by saying that the Ukrainian leadership 'does not need its people, either dead or alive.'

Musk's father comments on son's spat with Trump (VIDEO)
Errol Musk has weighed in on the public feud between his son, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and US President Donald Trump, telling reporters in Moscow that the two may yet find common ground. The dispute between Musk and Trump – once close allies – escalated last week over the president's so-called 'Big Beautiful' tax and spending bill. Musk, who recently stepped down as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), had repeatedly criticized the bill, arguing it undermines his efforts to trim the fat off the federal budget. On Thursday, he accused Trump of 'ingratitude,' backed calls for his impeachment, and threatened to halt the US space program by grounding the Dragon spacecraft. Trump fired back, saying Musk had 'gone crazy' and blaming the spat on the end of what he called the 'EV mandate' – a reference to federal incentives that had benefited Tesla. Musk responded with a now-deleted post linking Trump to deceased financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Speaking to journalists in Moscow on Monday, where he was attending a tech forum, Errol Musk suggested that his son's strong response was rooted in principle, but added there may be room for compromise. 'I think Elon might agree to step down a little … because he's basically standing up for his principles,' the elder Musk said. Errol Musk said his son had backed the Trump administration, believing it would cut government spending, not increase it, and that the shift in direction left him frustrated, as it went against the values he had agreed to support. The 79-year-old pointed out that government policy often requires compromise and long-term thinking. 'In politics, sometimes you have to spend money on products you have yet to make, because that money later helps increase production. It's the laws of economics,' Errol Musk explained. He added that both men may now be taking a more mature view of the situation – and hinted that a thaw in relations could be possible.
