克里姆林宮發言人佩斯科夫：俄羅斯國際貿易船隻將不配備武器，但海軍可能會採取措施保護船隻。

ECB Governing Council member Kazimir said on Monday that at least one more rate increase is needed to curb inf, and that more aggressive tightening could be required if the economic outlook deteriorates. The ECB left rates unchanged last week but signalled a hike at its September meeting. Oil and gas prices have risen sharply this month after renewed Middle East hostilities. In a commentary, the typically hawkish Kazimir said he still views at least one further hike as appropriate even if conditions improve, and that he would press for action in September unless "very convincing" economic data and geopolitical progress emerge in the coming weeks.
