Russian Oil Poised To Flood World Markets As Trump Admin Lifts Sanctions

The U.S. began Operation Epic Fury on Feb. 28, killing Iranian Supreme Leader Khamanei and striking key military locations in the Islamic Republic. Iran’s retaliatory strikes caused tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz to plummet, dramatically increasing prices and prompting the Trump administration to temporarily lift Russian oil sanctions. The U.S. Department of the Treasury gave a temporary 30-day waiver on Russian oil sanctions March 5 to allow for Indian refineries to purchase […]

EU AI Act и санкции: двойной регуляторный барьер для российских IT-компаний

13 марта 2026 года Совет ЕС согласовал позицию по Digital Omnibus on AI — пакету упрощения правил EU AI Act. Через пять дней, 18 марта, в России опубликован проект федерального закона «Об основах государственного регулирования применения технологий искусственного интеллекта». Два регуляторных режима с фундаментально разной философией входят в решающую фазу одновременно. Для IT-компаний из РФ, экспортирующих SaaS- и B2B-продукты на европейский рынок, ситуация осложняется дополнительным фактором — 19 пакетами санкций ЕС против России. С декабря 2023 года запрещена поставка корпоративного ПО в Россию, а с ноября 2025 — предоставление AI-сервисов. EU AI Act добавляет к этому санкционному каркасу ещё один слой требований: экстерриториальное регулирование, обязательную классификацию рисков и штрафы до 35 млн евро. Статья разбирает механику EU AI Act, его пересечение с санкционным режимом и российским законодательством, а также практические последствия для компаний, работающих на стыке двух юрисдикций.

Video - Why Activists from 11 Countries Sailed to Cuba
https://peertube.world/w/7TJsjq2QNGpMxpan7J9tsv

[a #video about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

After five days at sea, the #NuestraAméricaConvoy flotilla sailed into Havana harbor carrying 14 tons of humanitarian aid, including 73 #SolarPanels, #medicine, food, and hygiene supplies. The aid was delivered by 32 people from more than 11 countries.

They came from the #US, Brazil, Italy, Europe, and beyond. Some have been bringing aid to Cuba for years, stuffed into suitcases on #solidarity brigades.

"My government is the one imposing these cruel #sanctions and economic warfare on the Cuban people," said an activist from the US. "And this has been happening for over 60 years."

“The world owes Cuba,” said a Brazilian activist. “Cuban #doctors were among the first to fight Ebola in Africa. They went to Italy during COVID. That's why Italians are on this boat.”
