EU foreign policy chief kallas said Russia's hybrid attacks are endangering lives across Europe.

Interfax reports the Russian Defence Ministry said cargo ships collided in the Black Sea.

ECB chief economist Lane said the bank should pursue a moderate policy response while assessing second‑round effects from the renewed energy shock. Oil and gas prices spiked after the Iran war and the euro area has shown stronger‑than‑expected resilience. New energy‑price pressure raises upside inf risk and could weigh on growth; the ECB must judge whether the second‑round shock will hit activity and inf dynamics more strongly than the first. Monetary policy remains on a middle path; two rate hikes to date are intended to secure medium‑term disinflation toward the 2% target. Lane and other policymakers say energy‑cost increases have not yet altered inf expectations but remain vigilant; economists and markets expect further tightening.
