Russian Presidential Aide Ushakov: Moscow maintains close contact with Kyiv.On June 7th, Christodoros Pazalides, a member of the European Central Banks Governing Council and Governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus, stated that it is time for Europe to abandon its long-standing political resistance to joint debt issuance, as large-scale "safe assets" would help enhance the EUs sovereignty and stability. Europe has long discussed creating a benchmark financial instrument through joint borrowing to challenge the status of US Treasury bonds, but some countries, particularly Germany and the Netherlands, have opposed it, fearing that their taxpayers would ultimately foot the bill for the fiscal irresponsibility of other countries. This lack of common safe assets has left the EUs financial architecture incomplete, leading to higher borrowing costs and reduced competitiveness, thus prompting the ECB to increasingly push for this policy shift. In a commentary, Pazalides stated, "The current economic, geopolitical, and institutional conditions are unusually synchronized, providing a strong justification for issuing European common safe assets." He also pointed out that such instruments could not only reduce financing costs but also provide the necessary funding for joint projects in areas such as green and digital transformation, artificial intelligence projects, defense, public health preparedness, and energy security.Ukrainian President Zelensky: Russias deliberate attack on nuclear fuel storage facilities was an "extremely despicable" attack.June 7 – Armenia held its National Assembly (parliamentary) elections on June 7, with voters casting their ballots for at least 101 members of parliament from candidates representing 18 political parties and coalitions.

Voyager Digital Holdings Inc., a cryptocurrency company, has been granted permission by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York to restore $270 million in client funds, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.


Voyager Digital Holdings Inc., a cryptocurrency company, has been granted permission by the US Bankruptcy Court in New York to restore $270 million in client funds, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.


According to the Journal, Judge Michael Wiles, who is in charge of Voyager's bankruptcy, said the firm had "sufficient grounds" to back up its claim that clients should be given access to the custodial account kept at Metropolitan Commercial Bank.


The business did not immediately respond to requests for comment.


Voyager, one of several businesses that struggled after the widespread turbulence on the cryptocurrency market, filed for Chapter 11 last month.


Voyager reported that it had between $1 billion and $10 billion in assets and liabilities, as well as over 100,000 creditors, in its bankruptcy case.


The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC) issued an injunction to the firm last week directing it to stop making "false and misleading" promises about the government's protection of its clients' cash.


The firm only had a bank account at Metropolitan Commercial Bank, according to the authorities, and none of the investors using its platform were covered by the FDIC.


During the COVID-19 epidemic, cryptocurrency lenders like Voyager saw a surge in business, luring depositors with high interest rates and convenient access to loans that conventional banks seldom ever gave. Lenders have suffered from the recent decline in cryptocurrency markets, which was brought on by the failure of two significant tokens in May.
