The referendum that started yesterday in the Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporijya and Herson regions in Ukraine still continues. While the referendum is being reprimanded by Ukraine, and western countries, the residents of the four cities continue voting to decide if the cities should get involved in Russia or not.

Residents vote by going to the ballot boxes as people who have limited mobility are voting at their houses or nearby hospitals. The unofficial voting commission defends that the referendum is proceeding perspicuously and there is a high voter turnout.

EU Warns US Tariffs Could Trigger De Facto Trade Ban

0

EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic warned that a proposed 30% US tariff on European goods would effectively amount to a trade ban, severely disrupting transatlantic supply chains.

Speaking ahead of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, Sefcovic expressed disappointment over a letter from US President Donald Trump that halted expected trade progress. “We were close to an agreement,” he said, but now “must prepare for all outcomes.”

The EU has delayed retaliatory measures on $72 billion worth of US goods until August 1, hoping for a negotiated resolution. Sefcovic emphasized that “no one wants a trade war,” while France urged faster preparation for countermeasures and Hungary blamed the EU Commission’s weak response to US pressure.

Danish and Lithuanian ministers echoed calls to avoid escalation but emphasized EU readiness to defend its interests.
