Ukraine receives the first Western heavy tanks from the UK since the start of the invasion. The pressure on Germany is increasing to react in the same way and will materialize in the meeting of the NATO support group for Ukraine, at the German Ramstein base. The Kremlin has responded by saying that it will burn each and every one of those tanks.
Shadow of Morocco

In Germany, the protests in the town of Lützerath ended. The last two environmental activists who held their sit-in against the expansion of a lignite mine after days of resistance to the police operation deployed to evict them were evicted. The German Police had already concluded the bulk of the operation on Sunday, although they warned that they were continuing the tasks of what they called “rescue” of those last two people who were entrenched underground. The convening environmental movements have accused the German Ministry of the Interior of ordering the Police to act with disproportionate forcefulness. Although the German government’s plan is for the abandonment of coal in North Rhine-Westphalia to take place as early as 2030, in the short term it is planned to increase the extraction of coal in the face of the energy crisis derived from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
