EU's race for lithium and rare earths sidelined calls to reduce consumption, finds study
In 2024, the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) came into force. The regulation is intended to secure Europe's supply of critical raw materials, especially minerals and metals such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements. The EU is therefore focusing on reducing its dependence on third countries such as China, boosting domestic minerals and metals production, and expanding recycling. In a study published in Communications Earth & Environment, researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Environme…

Putin thinks Europe is not going to fight itself for Ukraine, they are losing US support, internal dissent within Germany, France etc. He has no reason to compromise or even to agree to a temporary ceasefire. He just has to persevere in the war of attrition... The EU has to change this logic.
#geopolitics #putin #russia #ukraine #europe

Maybe the war between Russia and Europe, will not be as kinetic and intense as past wars. But it seems we are slowly gliding into something that could be given that name. Russia also has an interest to make it not an "all-out" conflict because by keeping it at a lower intensity, art. 4 and art. 5 of the NATO treaty stay out of sight. A lot of NATO-countries will oppose calling for a art.5 procedure when "just" a few targets in Europe are hit.

With instability in Germany, France, Spain and other european countries i am quite sure Putin will not compromise and fight on in Ukraine, further provoke NATO and the EU.
