Oil prices may have risen because of the Iran conflict, but they will not save Russia's economy. Windfall gains were significantly offset by a stronger currency and subsidy payments to oil companies and refiners.

In the first four months of 2026, Russia's budget deficit reached 5.9 trillion roubles, already far above the 3.8 trillion planned for the whole year. More than 200,000 businesses have closed since January. Interest rates remain high. Corporate debt has nearly doubled since the full-scale invasion. Labour shortages are persistent, taxes are rising, and domestic demand is falling.

EU sanctions, now 20 packages in force, continue to restrict Russia's access to technology, finance, logistics and energy markets, imposing long-term structural costs. Higher oil prices give Russia short-term breathing space. They do not fix the structural damage. The pressure continues.

A special part of childhood in Germany: the dandelion. 🌼💭✨

Did you, too, make a wish while blowing dandelion seeds into the wind? 🌬️💫

On this 🌍💚 World Environment Day 💚🌍, the humble dandelion reminds us that even the smallest parts of nature are valuable. 🌱Often dismissed as just a w**d, dandelions are actually an important source of food for pollinators 🐝 and contribute to biodiversity. And their leaves make a nice salad, too!🥗

We will do our part to promote a working multilateral order. This is in our foreign policy DNA, and it's our own interest (...) especially in times of massive geopolitical disruption.“

🤝 Additionally, Wadephul congratulated the other candidates Austria and Portugal: “I am convinced that in the Council they will work to the benefit of the global community for peace and security.
