Musk’s wealth soared to stratospheric levels last month after he became the world’s first trillionaire. At the same time, he's still cashing in on German subsidies that helped Berlin tap EU Covid funds. @NikolajNielsen's latest investigation for @euobs:

Less than two weeks to go! Hungary’s election campaign is turning into something resembling a spy movie: alleged Ukrainian spies, rising protests against Viktor Orbán, and a far-right party that could decide who governs after 12 April.

The fate of Belarus is tied to Europe’s future, as I write in @euobs. Freeing Belarus from tyranny & Russia’s grip is in all Europeans' interest. No fight for freedom is won alone—but with support from our allies, we will build a free, democratic Belarus.

👀Have you seen the great feature article in @euobs

The EU, Germany, the Netherlands, and fossil fuel giants are driving a green hydrogen boom in South Africa — but, if the fever subsides, it will be the people of South Africa left footing the bill. A must-read piece by @Westervangaal

In our joint op-ed with @JosepBorrellF in @euobs, we stressed why it is so important for the EU to stand with Belarus. euobserver.com/eu-and-the-wo…
"Belarusians must know that one day, when they are ready, the door of the EU will be open for their country to join as well. The EU’s support for a democratic Belarus is more than just a moral commitment—it is a strategic necessity."

Sabotage or not, incidents like the Baltic cable faults show how important it is to improve the resilience of critical marine infrastructure.
An interesting, in-depth article about what lessons the incident offers to NATO. 👇
(Some comments by me in there as well).
Nato is helping find out if Russia or China deliberately cut Baltic allies' telecoms cables, in order to cause fear of how a new world war might begin.
