06:10⇢Ukraine Accepts Ceasefire As Trade War Erupts
⌨The newspapers report on three major developments: Ukraine-Russia ceasefire negotiations, US-EU trade tensions, and domestic German issues. Ukraine has expressed willingness to agree to a ceasefire as Trump releases military aid, with attention now turning to Russia's response (Bild, FAZ, FR, Zeit, merkur.de). Simultaneously, a trade war appears imminent as the EU announces retaliatory measures against new US steel and aluminum tariffs, planning countermeasures worth €26 billion on three product groups (Tagesspiegel, Welt). Domestically, German workers are striking across North Rhine-Westphalia, affecting public transportation, childcare, and waste collection (WAZ, RP Online), while financial concerns include potential EU plans to access private savings (Junge Freiheit) and a bankruptcy affecting property owners' maintenance reserves in Stuttgart (Stuttgarter Zeitung).
