Today's news roundup covers three significant events.
First, Hungary's former foreign minister, a close ally of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, has joined Chinese car giant BYD. This move marks another ex-politician finding a second career in the automotive industry.
Second, Russia has attacked Odesa while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen arrived in Kyiv. Ukrainian port infrastructure, critical for wartime exports, has come under sustained bombardment in recent days.
Third, Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev stated that Bulgaria has no place in the "Coalition of the Willing" that supports Ukraine. He emphasized that the solution to the conflict lies not in prolonging it by military means, but in a strong diplomatic mission.
