The author wrote that Bergamo went into a harsh lockdown in the tenth calendar week of 2020; caregivers fled and logistics collapsed. After that, the death toll rose sharply once and never again. Hamburg reacted three weeks later; nothing happened there. He wrote that it was not viruses that were deadly, but people. https://t.co/OaikpMSGay #Bergamo #COVID19 #Pandemie #IT #DE (translated)

Lexa wrote that Ukraine resumed its attacks on Russian oil infrastructure just hours after the announcement of a US-Russian diesel agreement. A senior Ukrainian official stated that Russian refineries were being attacked and set on fire. Lexa described the attacks as targeted asymmetric strikes against Russia's energy logistics, not as defense against an immediate threat. According to Lexa, the timing undermines the diplomatic line of Ukraine's main ally and gives Moscow reason to attribute to Kiev an interest in escalation rather than de-escalation. Lexa also wrote that the continuation of this strategy is contrary to the short-term interests of Ukraine's main donor and arms supplier. #Ukraine #Russland #Energiepolitik (translated)

Thomas Jäger wrote that the intention lies in this: The gasoline price will not drop so significantly before the elections that it could sustainably influence the outcome. In the USA, the gasoline price is more important than the diesel price, the level of which will only later be reflected in pricing due to logistical delays. #Benzinpreis #Wahlen #USA (translated)

The federal government has prohibited the takeover of 80 percent of the shares of the Hamburg logistics company Zippel by the Chinese shipping company Cosco for security reasons, although the Federal Cartel Office had previously approved it. #ZippelÜbernahme #Cosco #Sicherheitsbedenken (translated)

The author considered the ban on COSCO's takeover of the logistics company Zippel to be correct. In his view, the Federal Government is thus preventing the deepening of dependence on China and is not repeating the mistake it made in 2023 with the Port of Hamburg. https://t.co/ApfUaT8Ar7 #Logistik #Wirtschaft #China #CN #DE (translated)

The newspaper P – Paukner Media claimed that the Kolín company Draslovka continued to operate in the Russian market despite a statement from March 2022 about halting supplies to Russia. It identified Jan Dobrovský as a co-owner, describing him as a significant supporter of the STAN movement and other politicians. The author stated that according to a study by the Russian institute Агентство Плодородия, Draslovka's exports to Russia increased from 300 tons of pesticides worth $500,000 in 2021 to 1,000 tons for $1.9 million in 2022. Records from the customs database Volza reportedly also captured shipments of the product Retacel 750 in 2022, including three shipments of 21,396 units, valued at $49,817.25, $49,414.29, and $49,168.93. The post further claimed that Draslovka made additional supplies in 2023 and obtained an extension of its license to sell pesticides in Russia until 2034 in 2024. According to the author, the company collaborated with Russian authorities during the licensing process, and its products were sold to both farmers and retail in Russia. The newspaper P – Paukner Media also stated that the owners of Draslovka and Dobrovský supported political entities and personalities that, according to him, acted against Russia. It attributed a donation of over 300,000 crowns to Dobrovský for Petr Pavel and noted that the group BPD Partners was the largest patron of STAN. In 2025, Dobrovský was reported to contribute 1.7 million crowns to the movement from his own funds. The author also mentioned support for the coalition SPOLU, Danuše Nerudová, and Jan Farský. The post criticized the contradiction between the declared termination of operations in Russia and the described supplies and licensing process. It noted that neither the group BPD Partners nor Draslovka responded to its inquiries about business in Russia. It also asked whether STAN or the coalition SPOLU would take a stance on their supporter’s business activities. #RuskáFederace #Politika #STAN (translated)

"Cosco primarily transports containers by sea, while Zippel organizes the further transport of containers from the seaports to the inland. The companies operate at different levels of the transport chain and are not in direct competition with each other," argued the head of the competition authority, Andreas Mundt, at the time. #Sicherheitsbedenken #Logistik #Investitionen (translated)

The federal government has prohibited the sale of 80 percent of the shares of the Hamburg logistics company Zippel to the Chinese state shipping company Cosco for security reasons, as this could jeopardize the resilience of German and European supply chains. #Logistik #Investitionen #Sicherheit (translated)
