💬 «”Убьют, тогда и приходите”. Мне кажется, что европейские чиновники, которые выдают политубежища, работают в той же логике» Российские антивоенные активисты, дезертиры и другие беженцы всё чаще сталкиваются с отказами в предоставлении убежища в странах ЕС и угрозой депортации на родину, несмотря на то что там им почти гарантированно грозит тюрьма. 📈 В 2022 году в ЕС в среднем отказали 67,7% просителям, а к 2025-му эта цифра выросла до 80,2%. На фоне ужесточения миграционной политики и усиления влияния правых партий европейские власти ставят под сомнение обоснованность кейсов политэмигрантов из РФ, совершенно игнорируя российский репрессивный контекст. ➡️ «Новая-Европа» републикует большой текст партнерского издания EUObserver, посвященный этой проблеме. novayagazeta.eu/articles/202…

The numbers expose the gesture. EU–settlement trade: ~€340 million/year. Total EU–Israel goods trade: €43.3 billion in 2025. A settlement measure touches under 1% of the relationship — while the real lever, partial suspension of the Association Agreement, stays blocked. Act on the trivial slice, shield the substantive one. ↳ ~€340m settlement trade vs total relationship (The National): thenationalnews.com/news/eur… ↳ EU–Israel goods trade €43.3bn in 2025 (CIDSE / EUobserver): cidse.org/2026/05/27/from-we…

EU countries collected €157.1m in application fees last year for visitor visas that were later rejected, according to data published on 8 June by the LAGO Collective. The NGO based its calculations on European Commission data from across the EU-27 in 2025. The number is another point in a continuous upward trend as rejected short via applications brought in €145.1m in 2024 and €130m in 2023. The highest rejection rates were recorded for applicants from Bangladesh (54.5%), Senegal (51.9%), Nigeria (47.8%), Pakistan (46%), and Angola (45.4%), whose rejection costs rose by the steepest margin at 177%, from €1m in 2024 to €2.9 million. Founder Marta Foresti of LAGO Collective called the Schengen process a “visa regime that functions as a tax on tourism, business, trade and aspirations.” Source: EUObserver

Povratak Janeza Janše na čelo vlade u Sloveniji neki mediji u EU vide kao vraćanje politike podela i dubokih neslaganja ne samo u toj zemlji, već i u institucijama Evropske unije, kako to tumače "Dojče vele (Deutsche welle)" i "Euobserver". beta.rs/content/246394-evrop…

America resettled more refugees in 2025 than the whole EU and UK combined. 11,500 vs 7,800, and that is AFTER Trump cut the US program nearly 90%. Both numbers are a collapse. Global resettlement fell by half. (UNHCR via EUobserver) #Refugees

EU to sanction Moscow’s top Ukraine negotiator – EUobserver A leaked draft of the proposed new sanctions includes Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky, the outlet reported Published 11 Jun, 2026 (FULL) rt.com/russia/641409-eu-sanc… The European Union is considering sanctions against Kremlin adviser and historian Vladimir Medinsky, who led the Russian delegation in the latest rounds of US-mediated peace talks with Kiev, EUobserver has reported, citing a draft of the bloc’s 21st sanctions package. Brussels has been mostly left out of diplomatic efforts initiated by US President Donald Trump following his return to office last year, as most EU member states have opted to back Kiev with weapons and impose sanctions on Russia instead of seeking a resolution to the conflict. Medinsky, also known for co-authoring a new series of history textbooks introduced in Russian schools and leading an extensive online course on Russian history, has reportedly been described by Brussels as a key figure in what they call Russia’s state propaganda efforts. The measures proposed in a draft leaked on Wednesday would also target Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, and International Chess Federation (FIDE) president Arkady Dvorkovich, over alleged support for Russia’s military campaign, according to the report...link to read full article

That’s a bold speculation by EUObserver which seems based on a misunderstanding: The conclusions don’t mention China — instead trade imbalances worldwide, which still boils down to Beijing — to avoid tensions. Yet the debate is taking place.See Merz today. politico.eu/article/friedric…
