Mathias Priebe wrote that Donald Trump orders millions of tons of diesel directly from Vladimir Putin. In light of media reports about an extreme shortage of diesel and gasoline in Russia, he asked whether these reports had been propaganda. He also referred to Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries deep in Russia, which were supposedly successful, and wondered if Trump would watch this happen. Priebe stated that the deal shows that EU sanctions are now only harming the economy itself and advocated for abandoning what he believes to be failed and ineffective sanction packages. #Priebshow #Friedenstreiber https://t.co/O1xFVlkQzq #Trump #Putin #EU (translated)

Ulrich Vosgerau wrote that he initially wanted to report on P_Plattform and the blockade in Halle, but then learned from the ZDF heute show about the participation of the incumbent Minister President of Saxony-Anhalt, Sven Schulze, at the memorial ceremony. He described this as a previously unreported circumstance that changed the situation. Vosgerau asked whether it would have been too much to ask for Schulze, in his official capacity, to have urged the blockaders to allow the duly elected deputy president of the state parliament, who according to Vosgerau represents the strongest political party in Saxony-Anhalt, to pass. If the blockaders had also not been impressed by Schulze, Vosgerau believed that he should have declined to participate in the memorial ceremony and clearly communicated this. #Politik #SachsenAnhalt #Gedenkfeier (translated)

Lars Winkelsdorf wrote that he had spoken a few months ago at a personal meeting with August Hanning about Hanning's financial situation. Hanning had brought up the topic himself. The current media coverage does not adequately represent the situation from Winkelsdorf's perspective, as it appears as an exposure of the motives behind Hanning's alleged actions. According to him, Hanning explained that he had entered the supervisory board of the Latvian PNB Bank through Anders Rasmussen. An oligarch then plundered the bank, stripping it of about 30 million euros. In a civil proceeding under Latvian law, Hanning was held liable; the judgment was later enforced in Germany, and a significant portion of his pension was garnished. Winkelsdorf described Hanning as an indirectly harmed party of criminal acts and wrote that his attempts to get out of the situation had failed. It was not about losses from risky investments but rather that Hanning had been "taken advantage of," he wrote. Rasmussen has not had to pay anything so far; Winkelsdorf added that Denmark may have better laws than Germany. https://t.co/KJQ6fW9Au0 #Finanzen #Medien #Justiz (translated)

Yvonne Kussmann wrote that several media outlets reported that the 27-year-old Afghan, who had been shot by police officers the day before, was subject to deportation and that his removal had already been prepared. According to media reports, he had prior convictions for bodily harm, theft, and damage to property. The Rottweil public prosecutor's office could not confirm this information to her upon request, given the early stage of the investigation. It also could not answer questions about possible commitments to psychiatric clinics due to a danger to others. The public prosecutor's office cited the deceased's personal rights and the early stage of the investigation as reasons. It was only confirmed that the man had come to attention due to theft offenses and property damage; he had not received a prison sentence. Kussmann announced that she would check back in a few days and report on it. #Tuttlingen #Polizei #Abschiebung (translated)
