🇧🇪❌🇪🇺🇩🇪 A triumphant Bart De Wever takes a dig at Friedrich Merz for pushing so much the reparations loan.

“Today, we proved that the voice of small and medium-sized member states also counts. Decisions in Europe are not simply driven by the biggest capitals.”

📝: The EUCO summit was a disaster for Ursula von der Leyen and Friedrich Merz. Despite having enough for a qualified majority in EUCO, the opposition of Belgium and 6 other countries meant that Russian assets were not seized. Despite promising to give Ukraine somewhere between 140-210 billion Euros, EUCO decided to give just 90 billion and the cherry on top, strong opposition from France and Italy meant that the Mercosur free trade deal was postponed. The EU is more divided than ever. 🔗 Jorge Liboreiro (@JorgeLiboreiro)

🇺🇸 18 Navy SEALS Were Disciplined For Racist Harassment Of Black SEAL One racist meme sent to the SEAL in 2022 was described in the investigation as "Slave in Chains." Another meme sent in 2022 was titled "Monkey Face" and depicted the SEAL in uniform with his face distorted to look like a monkey. A meme sent in 2023 compared him to the movie character Radio, a mentally disabled man played by Cuba Gooding Jr. CBS News has learned that Rear Adm. Milton Sands, then the head of Naval Special Warfare Command, acted swiftly once the allegations surfaced in March. Sands has since been removed from his position by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The reason for his removal is unknown.  In the complaint, the Black Navy SEAL said his name was scratched off two plaques where it once appeared alongside others serving on SEAL Team Four. On one of the plaques, the names are etched into a piece of wood under a hatchet adorned with Navy SEAL Tridents, the physical pin that signifies a SEAL. The SEAL described the removal of his name as "A final, disgraceful act to make it clear that I was not welcome," and that it was "a direct and unmistakable act of hatred." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/navy-seals-disciplined-racist-memes/

🇪🇺🇺🇦 The European Council agreed to grant a 90 billion Euro loan to Ukraine with 0% interest rate from the EU's budget The plan to seize Russian assets and use them to fund the loan fell as too many EU member states opposed it during the EUCO meeting. Hungary, Slovakia and Czechia successfully won the right to not participate in funding this loan, meaning that the 90 billion sum will be split proportionally according to the GDPs of the remaining 24 member states. While EUCO agreed to provide this loan, the legal mechanism for this loan to be effectively granted to Kiev hasn't been revealed yet and will take a few more weeks until it is created. @CIG_telegram
