- Jens Spahn’s resignation as CDU faction leader has triggered renewed debate on Germany’s approach to surrogacy.
- The Ethics Council calls for open dialogue, emphasizing surrogacy’s relevance for women unable to carry children and same-sex couples.
- Critics argue that the CDU/CSU denies women autonomy by supporting a paternalistic state controlling reproductive rights.
- Child welfare remains a largely overlooked issue, while the Union cites ethical, legal, and practical concerns to oppose surrogacy.
She wants a paternalistic state that, above all, knows what’s best for women and also for potential surrogates.— Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf, Leipzig-based professor; quoted in Die Zeit about the CDU/CSU's stance on surrogacy.

- A Russian-flagged oil tanker was seized in the North Atlantic following a coordinated US military and Homeland Security operation.
- The vessel is part of a shadow fleet transporting oil for sanctioned countries including Venezuela, Russia, and Iran.
- Russia deployed a submarine to escort the tanker after it evaded a US boarding attempt near Venezuela.
- This seizure supports a presidential directive aimed at safeguarding security and stability across the Western Hemisphere.
For reasons unclear to us, the Russian vessel is receiving heightened attention from the U.S. and NATO militaries — attention that is clearly disproportionate to its peaceful status.— Russia's Foreign Ministry expressed concern over the U.S. pursuit of the tanker.
