Putin shrugs off fuel shortages as Russia ramps up attacks on Ukraine

President Vladimir Putin appears unbothered by Ukraine's escalating strikes on Russian oil refineries, which are causing domestic fuel shortages. Despite growing energy supply problems inside Russia, Moscow is continuing to intensify its military offensive against Ukraine. Analysts suggest the Kremlin views economic losses as an acceptable cost of the war effort.

Are Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil refineries effectively weakening Russia's military capabilities?

Gen Z invests more cautiously than assumed — data from thousands of accounts

An analysis of thousands of brokerage accounts at Trade Republic by Poland country manager Kamil Szymański shows that Gen Z investors are more cautious than commonly assumed. Cryptocurrencies do not dominate their portfolios; instead, young investors tend to favour ETFs and blue-chip stocks. The popular narrative of Gen Z as reckless speculators does not fully match the actual data.

Does Gen Z invest more responsibly than older generations?

Integrated circuits shaped US tech dominance — and now define the AI race

An article in the "Arsenal of Innovation" series traces the history of semiconductors as the origin story of modern computing and American technological leadership. It highlights a recurring pattern in US innovation: government funding underwrites breakthroughs, and commercial markets scale them into general-purpose technologies. The author argues this dynamic is central to understanding today's competition for AI leadership.

Should the US government fund AI research the way it funded semiconductors?

Two Cities Television developing TV series based on 1969 war film 'Army of Shadows'

Two Cities Television chief Michael Jackson has announced a TV reimagining of Jean-Pierre Melville's 1969 film "Army of Shadows," about the French resistance. The company is developing the project alongside the success of its "Backrooms" adaptation, which bosses describe as "heartening." Jackson says the timing feels right because there is "something in the zeitgeist" that makes the wartime resistance story resonate today.

Should classic war films be reimagined as TV series?

Physicists create exotic new form of matter in the lab

Experimental physicists have created a surprisingly exotic new form of matter that goes beyond established quantum paradigms. The achievement, described as a "sea of quantum weirdness," involves probing matter states with highly unusual properties. The findings raise new questions about the boundaries of quantum physics.

Should research into exotic forms of matter be a top scientific funding priority?

Sweden reverses course: new law forces shops to accept cash

Sweden, once a frontrunner in going cashless, has passed a law requiring shops to accept cash and encouraging citizens to use it again. The government concluded that near-total reliance on digital payments carries unacceptable risks, including system failures and cyberattacks. While Swedes are unenthusiastic about the reversal, authorities point to real vulnerabilities exposed by the cashless experiment.

Is Sweden right to require shops to accept cash again?

Poland withheld MiG-29s from Ukraine after Kyiv demanded Warsaw fund costly upgrades

Ukrainian delegations inspected Poland's MiG-29 fighters and found them in such poor condition that they agreed to accept them only if Poland funded full modernisation at its own expense — a demand Warsaw rejected. The official explanation cited a failure to agree on drone technology transfers, but Onet revealed the real reason behind the decision. Difficulties in defining Poland's own expectations also complicated the negotiations.

Should Poland fund the MiG-29 upgrades and transfer the jets to Ukraine?

Hormones in chicken are a myth — fast growth is down to breeding, not chemicals

Experts are firmly debunking the widespread Polish belief that poultry is raised with hormones or steroids, calling it the "stupidest myth in Polish society." The rapid growth of modern chickens is the result of decades of selective breeding, not chemicals — which are banned in the EU. Poles are unnecessarily avoiding poultry counters due to a fear with no factual basis.

Are Poles' fears about hormones in poultry justified?

US Civil War: industrial North vs feudal South – a fight over money and slavery

In the mid-19th century the US was starkly divided: the capitalist North was building industry while the South maintained a feudal plantation economy based on enslaved labour. The Civil War was therefore a conflict not only over the rights of Black Americans but also over economic dominance and the country's direction. The two regions held incompatible visions for the nation's future.

Was economics a more important cause of the Civil War than slavery?

Poland's Sejm passed the Personal Investment Accounts (OKI) law by 427 votes to 5, with one abstention. OKI accounts will launch on 1 January 2027, allowing savers to hold shares, funds and bonds in a single account with relief from the so-called Belka tax on capital gains. Instead of the standard capital gains tax, a 0.85% annual levy on asset value will apply from 2027.
