Germany’s leader vows fixes for a budget crisis as the economy struggles. But he offers few details

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:02:57 GMT

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz vowed Tuesday that his government will work “as fast as possible” to lay out how to solve a budget crisis, but he offered few details on how he would achieve his goals of promoting clean energy after a court decision struck down billions in funding. With its economy struggling, Germany now is wrestling to fill the gaps in spending set aside for renewable energy projects and relief for companies and consumers facing high utility bills because of Russia’s war in Ukraine. Cuts could further slow what is already the world’s worst-performing major economy. Germans “need clarity in unsettled times,” Scholz said in a speech to parliament, adding that the government would not abandon any of its goals, which also include promoting investment in computer chip and battery factories for electric cars to modernize the economy. He said it would be “a serious, an unforgivable mistake … to neglect the modernization of our country.” A cap...

Avdiivka, Ucrania (CNN) — “Chicos, déjenme aquí. No puedo caminar”, suplica un soldado ucraniano sentado en una estrecha trinchera bajo constante bombardeo ruso.Tiene las piernas heridas por la metralla y sangra a través de los vendajes. Fuma un cigarrillo mientras yace en el suelo, al tiempo que el médico de la unidad se agacha en la trinchera tratando de curarlo.Momentos antes, cuatro tanques enemigos pasaron a pocos metros de distancia, lo que lo obligó a él y a sus compañeros a enterrarse en la tierra negra y fértil, que tiembla cuando los tanques pasan sobre sus cabezas.La misión de asalto de la unidad era recuperar 150 metros de trincheras a lo largo de la línea de árboles en la ciudad de Avdiivka, en el este de Ucrania, que se ha convertido en uno de los lugares más disputados en la línea del frente ucraniana.Avdiivka ha estado en primera línea desde que los separatistas prorrusos se apoderaron de gran parte de la región de Donbás, incluida la cercana ciudad de Donetsk,...
