Germany and Poland say they're not sending troops to Ukraine as the Kremlin warns of a wider war
Germany and Poland affirmed Tuesday that they would not be sending troops to Ukraine, after reports that some Western countries may be considering doing so as the war with Russia enters its third year. The head of NATO also said the U.S.-led military alliance has no plans to send troops to Ukraine, after other central European leaders confirmed that they too would not be providing soldiers. The Kremlin, meanwhile, warned that a direct conflict between NATO and Russia would be inevitable if the alliance sends combat troops. «In this case, we need to talk not about probability, but about the inevitability (of conflict),» Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Will India get a four-year breather on carbon tax?
New Delhi/Mumbai: India plans to seek a four-year delay in the start date of the European Union’s contentious carbon tax to provide more breathing space to its exporting industries, multiple people aware of the matter said. Under the EU’s carbon control regime that kicks off in 2026, emissions should be reduced 2.5% in the first year and reduced every year after that, and eliminated by 2034. There are different targets set for every year and the current plan aims to reduce emissions by 48.5% by 2030.
