    BEIJING, July 10 — Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that China is ready to work with other countries in building a global network for dialogue and cooperation among civilizations.

    Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the statement in a congratulatory letter to the Global Civilizations Dialogue Ministerial Meeting, which opened in Beijing.

    He pledged that China will work with other countries to champion equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness among civilizations, and implement the Global Civilization Initiative, in a bid to provide fresh impetus for advancing human civilizations and promoting world peace and development.

    “The world is, in nature, a place of diverse civilizations,” Xi said in the letter. “History has shown us that exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations are essential for civilizations to flourish and human progress to be made.”

    In a world where transformations and turbulences are interwoven and humanity stands at a new crossroads, there is an ever-pressing need for civilizations to transcend estrangement through exchanges, and to transcend clashes through mutual learning, Xi said.

    He also expressed his hope that participating representatives would engage in in-depth exchanges to build consensus and contribute their wisdom and strength to the goal of promoting understanding and friendship among peoples, and achieving harmonious coexistence among civilizations.

    Themed “Safeguarding Diversity of Human Civilizations for World Peace and Development,” the two-day meeting is co-hosted by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee and the International Department of the CPC Central Committee.

  • MIL-OSI USA: World-First Gene Editing Trial for Rare Genetic Disease at UConn Health

    Source: US State of Connecticut

    In a global first, UConn Health, in collaboration with Connecticut Children’s, has dosed a patient in a groundbreaking clinical trial testing gene editing technology to treat glycogen storage disease type 1a (GSD1a), a rare inherited metabolic disorder, marking the third “first-in-human” trial for GSD1a conducted by this research team.

    This clinical trial is evaluating a therapy that uses permanent gene editing, one of the most novel technologies in modern medicine. Instead of delivering a missing gene, this approach edits a single letter of DNA directly inside the patient’s liver cells, thereby correcting the genetic error at its source.

    “This therapy marks a groundbreaking achievement for the treatment of GSD and similar rare diseases,” said Juan C. Salazar, MD, Chair of the Department of Pediatrics at the UConn School of Medicine and Physician-in-Chief at Connecticut Children’s. “This milestone represents a beacon of hope for patients and their families worldwide, showcasing out commitment to advancing healthcare and saving lives.”

    GSD is a metabolic disorder caused by an enzyme deficiency where the liver fails to break down glycogen into glucose, causing the body’s blood sugar levels to drop. The disorder is devastating, causing potential damage to kidneys and liver along with other serious side effects, including death.

    The trial is being led by Rebecca Riba-Wolman, MD, a pediatric endocrinologist in the Department of Pediatrics and a physician-scientist at both the Connecticut Children’s Research Institute and UConn Health. She serves as the principal investigator for the study, with Karen Loechner, MD, Ph.D., and Malaya Mount, MS, RD serving as sub-investigators.

    “This is truly a next-generation therapy,” says Riba-Wolman. “What makes this especially exciting is that this technology allows us to make a permanent edit in the liver cells of patients with GSD1a. If it works, it could last a lifetime.” Though in its earliest phase, the potential of this technology extends far beyond a single disorder. “Liver cells are one of the most accessible organs for genetic treatments, so while this is a treatment for GSD1a, it is also a stepping-stone,” Riba-Wolman explains. “What we are learning here could be applied to other diseases in the future.”

    The therapy is based on nucleotide editing and is part of the cutting-edge field born out of the precision technique of CRISPR-Cas genetic editing technology, which earned the Nobel Prize in 2020. The trial corrects a single nucleotide (one of the DNA “letters” A, G, C, or T) that is the basis for the most common mutation causing GSD1a. This targeted approach could allow for lifelong correction of the underlying disease. To date, there exists only one FDA-approved gene editing treatment in the world – for sickle cell disease.

    The trial has generated excitement among researchers and patients alike. Many families with GSD1a have followed the progress of the gene editing mouse studies that laid the foundation for this moment. For them, this trial represents the real possibility of a long-awaited breakthrough. “This is not just a clinical study. It is a hopeful step forward for a community that has been waiting years for new treatment options,” says Riba-Wolman.

    While the first trial participant was from out of state, UConn Health and Connecticut Children’s have built a robust local and regional GSD1a community, supported by a dedicated clinical team that includes physicians, nurses, study coordinators, research dietician and others, many of whom played a critical role in preparing for this first infusion.

    “This kind of clinical research requires an enormous amount of collaboration,” says Riba-Wolman. “I cannot say enough about the commitment of UConn Health to our research. From nursing leadership to pharmacy to respiratory therapy, everyone came together to make this possible.”

    Though results may not be fully appreciated for several years, this historic milestone underscores the growing reputation of UConn Health and Connecticut Children’s as leaders in rare disease research and gene-based therapies.

    “We have now been involved in three first-in-human trials for GSD1a, and this one is the most ambitious yet,” says Riba-Wolman. “It is incredible to think how far the science has come, and to be part of that here at UConn Health and Connecticut Children’s is something really special.”

    In partnership with Beam Therapeutics, this trial builds on decades-long leadership in GSD1a research, and it is expected to help shape the future of treatment not just for this rare condition, but for all genetic diseases.

    We’d like to acknowledge the significant contributions of the dedicated research team, including Shaylee King, administrative director of the Department of Pediatrics; study coordinators Vi Nguyen and Shila Bhandari from the Department of Pediatrics, and Julieta Bonvin Sallago from CT Children’s; as well as research nurses Stephanie Ruggiero, Travis Healy, Love Joy Tacadena Melendez, Osob Yusuf, Darby Lamontagne, and Amber Barry, all from the Department of Pediatrics.

  • MIL-OSI USA: For Restoring Biodiversity Look for Help from the Humble, World-building Muskrat

    Source: US State of Connecticut

    In his speech for the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources (CAHNR) this past spring, keynote speaker Rodney Butler ’99 (BUS), Chairman of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, told an abbreviated version of the Indigenous creation story of Skywoman. 

    “When the world was covered in water, Skywoman fell from an opening in the Skyworld and landed on the back of a giant turtle. Skywoman enlisted the help of many animals to dive deep to retrieve soil from the depths of the ocean in an effort to create land. Many animals attempted to grab the soil, but it was the unlikely muskrat, who was both humble and courageous, that was able to return the soil and place it on the back of the great turtle. As the mud is placed on the turtle’s back, it grows and expands, eventually forming the continents and life-sustaining world we know today.” 

    Butler spoke of how the story emphasizes the importance of working together and that we are all better when we work and learn together. There is also great strength in partnering Indigenous knowledge with science to build a sustainable future. 

    Associate Professor Beth Lawrence has a joint appointment with the Center for Environmental Science and Engineering and the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment in CAHNR, and her work adds to the time-honored appreciation of the courageous and humble muskrat. In research published in Freshwater Science, Lawrence and collaborators, including project lead Shane Lishawa and Andrew Monks from Loyola University, and Danielle Fegan and Eric Clark, who are biologists with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, describe how muskrats engineer more biologically diverse marsh ecosystems. 

    The researchers study cattail-dominated marshes and strategies to create more varied, or heterogeneous, ecosystems using methods like mechanical harvesting or by applying herbicides. While out on field research, Lawrence says they made an intriguing observation.

    “We noticed in some years that muskrats were doing naturally what we were doing with our aquatic weed whackers and gas-powered equipment. We thought that maybe we should investigate how muskrats alter cattail and associated species,” says Lawrence. 

    The project focused on a marsh that connects the St. Mary’s River outlet of Lake Superior to Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. In vast marshes like this one, the non-native cattail species Typha can take over and make acres of marshland look similar to cornfields in terms of the lack of diversity, says Lawrence. These kinds of monocultures do not support biologically diverse ecosystems. 

    “It homogenizes the wetland, and is not an ideal habitat for birds, macro-invertebrates, fish, and native plants, so over the last 15 years we’ve been interested in how we can manage these invaded cattail marshes of the Great Lakes,” Lawrence says. 

    The researchers have tried a variety of methods to control the cattails, but they are most interested in using mechanical means, rather than chemical control measures. 

    “Cutting the cattail at different intensities and frequencies can reduce its abundance and promote native diversity and also open up habitat that creates heterogeneity in these monotypes. This promotes species diversity overall, and improves habitat for native fish and bird communities,” says Lawrence. 

    Muskrats are semi-aquatic rodents that naturally harvest cattails by cutting them below the water level. This is important because the stems of the plant act almost like a snorkel to provide oxygen to the roots. Cutting stems below the water essentially drowns the cattail by severing the connection between the oxygen-rich atmosphere and the anoxic sediment common to wetlands. The muskrats use the cattails to build their lodges, and the process creates openings that give other plant species a chance to grow. 

    “These important aquatic rodents transform habitats in many ways that some communities, like the Native Americans, have appreciated for 1000s of years, and Western science is just now discovering that importance.” (Adobe Stock)

    Using drones and aerial photography, the researchers identified several lodges and openings where they sampled the vegetation and water quality parameters. They also harvested cattails via mechanical methods or with herbicides to create muskrat disturbance analogs (MDAs) to simulate the muskrat openings. They compared these data with data collected from adjacent non-muskrat-impacted areas.  

    “Then we monitored the vegetation and water quality parameters for two growing seasons after that. We found there was greater biodiversity with the muskrat disturbances and the MDA treatments,” says Lawrence. 

    The muskrats and the MDA methods reduced the presence of the cattails as well as another invasive plant called European frogbit (Hydrocharis), therefore they helped promote more heterogenous communities and the authors note that efforts to increase muskrat populations should be taken as a management strategy in areas where these two invasive plant species dominate. 

    “Restoring biodiversity is critical to our future. Climate change is happening rapidly, and we’re rolling the dice. Maintaining and protecting a diversity of species is important because we don’t know which species will survive or thrive in different climate scenarios,” says Lawrence. “I think of Aldo Leopold’s quote about how an intelligent tinkerer always keeps all the parts. We want to keep all of the parts of the planet because we don’t know exactly what the future is going to look like.” 

    Lawrence also has projects focusing on beavers, which are also vital ecosystem engineers. Like muskrats, beavers transform habitats and act as keystone species that play an important role in creating wetland habitats, 

    “These important aquatic rodents transform habitats in many ways that some communities, like the Native Americans, have appreciated for 1000s of years, and Western science is just now discovering that importance. Beavers are resurging on the landscape after being almost extirpated in New England due to hunting. They were reintroduced after being essentially extinct in Connecticut about 200 years ago and then reintroduced about 100 years ago. Now, their populations are exploding, and they’re transforming our landscape again.”  

    Lawrence also reflects on the significance of teamwork in this project:

    “I think science takes a team. Our relationship with the tribe and across institutions is a big part of the importance of this paper and this project. It was a really satisfying project, both in terms of the relationships that have developed over the years, but also how we’ve gained a lot of insights by studying the system over decades.”

  • MIL-Evening Report: Grattan on Friday: childcare is a ‘canary in mine’ warning for wider problems in policy delivery

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Michelle Grattan, Professorial Fellow, University of Canberra

    It’s such a familiar pattern. When a big scandal breaks publicly, governments jump into action, ministers rush out to say they’ll “do something” instantly.

    But how come they hadn’t seen problems that had been in plain sight?

    Who can forget then-workplace relations minister Tony Burke insisting he’d been unaware, before media revelations, that organised crime was in the CFMEU? After a Nine media expose, a large portion of the notorious union soon ended up in administration.

    When a childcare worker was charged with some 70 offences last week, Education Minister Jason Clare immediately declared he’d introduce legislation in the new parliament’s first sitting for the removal of federal funds from errant providers.

    After ABC reporter Adele Ferguson had exposed serious safety issues in the system on Four Corners in March, the Albanese government announced it would be “exploring” various measures to strengthen Commonwealth powers “to deal with providers that put profit over quality and child safety at risk”.

    In another expose, Ferguson this week revealed substantial problems in the training system for childcare workers.

    Federally, childcare comes under the education minister, and there’s also a dedicated minister for early childhood education (Anne Aly last term, now Jess Walsh). Basically, the federal government funds the system while the states and territories regulate it.

    Anthony Albanese made major promises for expanding childcare in his 2022 and 2025 election pitches. The government also supported higher wages for workers in the sector. Albanese has nominated “affordable childcare” as the legacy he wants to leave.

    It’s all the more surprising, then, that the government didn’t seem to spot a plethora of problems in an area so central to the prime minister’s ambitions.

    The government points to the division of responsibility between Commonwealth and states.

    But surely that explanation doesn’t wash or, if it does, the relevant federal and state ministers, public servants and the regulators have not been doing their designated jobs effectively.

    In various human service policy areas, there are split responsibilities, which differ in specific arrangements.
    Politically, this often brings blame-shifting, and arguments over money and accountability.

    The federal government attaches conditions, for example, to funding agreements for hospitals and schools, which fall under state responsibility. But in practice, there are slippages.

    Split responsibilities, whatever their precise form, can never be “set and forget” – rigorous, constant scrutiny needs to be built in.

    Childcare policy has its complications. But, in terms of complexities, it is nothing like, say, running the nation’s defences. There are not unknowns.

    The obvious issues within childcare include funding, safety, workforce numbers and training.

    The childcare revelations will inevitably lead to new regulations – ironically just as a debate about the desirability of easing excessive regulation in some sectors has become fashionable. In many policy areas, there are tensions between regulation and costs, and no unanimity about where the trade offs should be struck.

    The childcare imbroglio highlights the challenges when public policy is substantially delivered by the “for profit” private sector. Social services expert Gabrielle Meagher, professor emerita at Macquarie University, says, “It’s very difficult to regulate across the gaps governments open up when they fund policies that they don’t deliver themselves”.

    The childcare issue also invites much wider questions about how “governing” is working. Such as, are ministers too distracted?

    Today’s ministers spend more time than ever in the media, and travelling (part of the modern “permanent” election campaign). This takes a large amount of their attention. The prime minister is in the media most days.

    One has to wonder how much of this is a diversion for ministers from detailed policy work, especially as they must bone up on “talking points” because, given the 24-hour news cycle, they will be quizzed about issues outside their portfolios. They usually feel obliged to offer an opinion, rather than saying “sorry, that’s not my bag”.

    What about the public servants, who are formally responsible for policy advice, implementation and supervising?

    We saw with Robodebt shocking behaviour by some bureaucrats. There have been substantial reforms since then and, apart from that, the Albanese government has boosted the numbers and strengthened the capability of the public service.

    But is it fit-for-purpose? If it were, wouldn’t the problems in childcare, apparently well-known among many parents, have filtered up through the system to the ears of ministers – even allowing that regulation rests mainly with the states?

    Apart from failures by state regulators, one issue is who is telling what to whom about the sector. The federal minister responsible for early childhood education visits dozens of childcare centres. But on those visits, the minister will be talking to managers, who will have their own set of concerns. The minister is less likely at the centres to encounter parents who have had a bad experience.

    This goes to a wider problem: in areas of human service delivery, providers of services will usually be organised, while consumers lack the same coherent and forceful voice. Complaining through the media may be only way for families using a service to bring things to light.

    But what about the complaints that do flow into government departments, and ministers’ offices? Surely these give a channel for the red flags that point to a policy failure?

    Bureaucrats say all this communication amounts to a great deal of “noise”, but the challenge is to identify what it signifies, in terms of substantive problems to be addressed.

    When programs are growing very fast, the risk is that corners are cut in delivery. We saw this, disastrously, years ago during the global financial crisis when the Rudd government rolled out the home insulation scheme. A royal commission was damning about the failures of the program, which was marked by several deaths and many household fires. Safety had been compromised in the pursuit of speed and the delivery framework was inadequate.

    There are many lessons from the childcare policy failures. A big announcement does not automatically mean a successful policy delivery. Programs can be working on some fronts while flawed on others. All new or expanded policies should come with detailed evaluation arrangements which are then carefully monitored. And while ministers will boast publicly about how well a policy is doing, they should be constantly demanding to know from their bureaucrats where things might be going wrong.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Western Cape concerned at 23 deaths on province’s roads in one week

    Source: Government of South Africa

    The Western Cape Government has expressed deep concern at the number of pedestrian fatalities and drunk driving arrests recorded during the past week. 

    Between 30 June and 6 July 2025, 23 people lost their lives in 23 crashes on Western Cape roads. 

    These include 15 pedestrians, four drivers, three passengers, and one motorcyclist. 

    The province believes the figures serve as a sobering reminder that reckless behaviour on the roads continues to have devastating consequences, particularly for the most vulnerable road users.

    “The loss of lives on our roads is avoidable and requires collective action. Too many innocent lives are impacted and altered by the poor judgment and decisions of road users,” said Western Cape Mobility MEC Isaac Sileku.

    Sileku said it was most alarming that 57 people were arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol during a week marked by heavy rain across the province. 

    “Driving while under the influence, no matter how small the amount, will not be tolerated. Drivers are urged to always prioritise safety,” added Sileku.

    The provincial government said the winter season brought added challenges for all road users. 

    “Shorter days, poor visibility, wet roads, and adverse weather conditions increase the risk of incidents, especially for pedestrians.” 

    Meanwhile, the Western Cape Provincial Government said driving under the influence remained one of the leading causes of road crashes and fatalities. 

    To improve safety and visibility on the roads, the Western Cape’s Provincial Traffic Services conducted 213 integrated roadblocks, vehicle checkpoints, and speed control operations across the province during the past week. 

    Over 27 000 vehicles were stopped and checked, resulting in just over 4 000 fines issued for various traffic violations. 

    A total of 78 arrests were made for various offences, including 57 for driving under the influence of alcohol, 11 for possession of fraudulent documentation, four for reckless and negligent driving, three for vehicles with overloaded goods, two for failure to furnish information, and one for speed-related arrest. 

    The Western Cape Government continues to urge all road users to act responsibly, especially during adverse weather conditions.

    “Pedestrians remain our most vulnerable road users, and the numbers recorded this weekend are a stark reminder. We all have a role to play in protecting lives on our roads, let’s drive, walk, and act with care,” the MEC added.

    Tips for motorists and pedestrians: 

    •    If you plan to drink, arrange for a sober driver, taxi, or e-hailing service.

    •    Never let a friend drive under the influence.

    •    Be part of the solution, report reckless drivers when it is safe to do so.

    •    Pedestrians are urged to take personal responsibility when heading out and wear bright or reflective clothing, especially in poor light conditions.

    •    Cross only at designated crossings or intersections where drivers expect to see pedestrians.

    •    Avoid distractions such as cellphones and headphones when walking near or across roads.

    •    Do not walk under the influence of alcohol. 

    •    Stay alert, always assume drivers cannot see you. – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI: Abraxas Power Corp. Receives First Ever Renewable Energy Permit from the Maldives Special Economic Zone Board of Investment

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ABRAXAS POWER CORP. (“Abraxas” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, APM SPV Pvt Ltd., has signed an Investment Agreement with the Government of Maldives for the development of its flagship Project Solar City in the Republic of Maldives (aka “Luminosity”), a pioneering 100 MW mixed-use renewable energy project.

    Following the successful execution of the Investment Agreement with the Government of Maldives, the President of the Maldives has issued a Presidential Decree, dated 1 July 2025, officially designating the Project Area as a Special Economic Zone under the Special Economic Zone Act (“SEZ Act”). This marks the first-ever Presidential Decree issued under the SEZ Act and represents a historic achievement for both Abraxas and the Maldives in advancing renewable energy and sustainable investment. The Project showcases the Abraxas team’s leadership and expertise in supporting a complex energy transition and advances Abraxas’ mandate to develop projects that further the UN Development Programme’s sustainable development goals, specifically Sustainable Development Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.

    “Our initiative in the Maldives represents a transformative step toward a cleaner, more resilient energy future,” said Mr. J. Colter Eadie, Chief Executive Officer of Abraxas. “By leveraging sustainable innovation and strategic investment, we aim to cut emissions, lower energy costs, and meet up to 50% of Greater Malé’s electricity demand with 100% clean power. This project not only strengthens national energy security by reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels, but also supports the country’s foreign reserves by addressing one of its largest sources of capital outflow. With stable, long-term pricing insulated from global volatility, we are proud to support the Maldives in setting a new standard for environmental leadership and energy independence.”

    The Project aligns with the Maldives government’s goal of ensuring adequate, reliable, sustainable, secure, and affordable energy to foster prosperity, and represents a crucial milestone in achieving the country’s net zero targets by 2030. The Project alone has the potential to fulfill the commitment made by the Maldives’ President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu during the COP28 summit to generate at least 33% of the Maldives’ energy needs through renewable sources by 2028.

    Eadie continued, “This project is about more than clean energy — it’s about transferring knowledge, technology, and global best practices to empower local enterprises and accelerate infrastructure development across the Maldives. It demonstrates how strategic investment can generate far-reaching benefits, driving inclusive growth and long-term prosperity. We are proud to partner with the Government of the Maldives to bring this vision to life.”

  • MIL-OSI: AleAnna, Inc. Announces Strong Early Production and Revenue Results at Longanesi Field

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • AleAnna and its partner Societa Padana Energia have recorded more than 6 weeks of continuous production history at the Longanesi Field, with steadily growing daily rates.
    • Results have been above expectations, with a stabilized natural gas production rate of approximately 28 MM cubic feet per day, which was achieved well ahead of the anticipated 3-month timeline for this milestone.
    • Strong natural gas prices in Italy, averaging about $13.50 / Mcf over the last 6 weeks, are providing AleAnna > $100,000 / day in revenues.
    • The European Union’s (EU) stated goal of eliminating Russian natural gas imports by year-end 2027 should create a longer-term demand for domestic natural gas in Italy.

    DALLAS and ROME, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AleAnna, Inc. (“AleAnna” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ANNA) is pleased to announce strong early performance from the Longanesi Field. All five wells in the Phase 1 development are contributing to current daily production averaging 28 million cubic feet per day, which was AleAnna’s budgeted maximum rate for 2025. While striving to prevent damage to the reservoirs from early over-production, the impressive growth rate in daily production over the first 6 full weeks of production nonetheless signals potential for the Phase 1 development to outperform initial expectations.

    Combined with average Italian natural gas prices over this 6-week period of about $13.50 per thousand cubic feet, current production is generating in excess of $100,000 in revenue per day net to AleAnna’s account. In addition, the Company expects further expansions of reserves and additional increases in daily production, highlighting Longanesi’s importance as a driver of mid-to-longer term growth for AleAnna.

    Advantaged Natural Gas Environment in the EU
    About 20% of the EU’s natural gas supply continues to come from Russia. As part of a broader plan to improve energy security and independence, the EU has stated an overarching goal to completely eliminate Russian natural gas supply by year-end 2027. The need to replace this supply, combined with gas storage levels at 34% of capacity, has created an increased demand for new sources of domestic natural gas and a near-to-mid-term increase in the price of natural gas in the EU.

    AleAnna is committed to strengthening Italy’s long-term energy security while supporting the global transition to cleaner and more sustainable sources of energy. By advancing current and future investments at Longanesi, AleAnna aims to address the gap in natural gas supply left by the loss of Russian natural gas imports.

    Management Commentary
    Marco Brun, Chief Executive Officer of AleAnna, emphasized the importance of the positive early results from Longanesi, stating: “Strong early results from Longanesi are a signal of AleAnna’s growth potential and profitability. With an advantaged environment for natural gas producers in the EU, and the opportunity to further grow our Longanesi production, we are excited about the future of the Company.”

    About AleAnna
    AleAnna is a technology-driven energy company focused on bringing sustainability and new supplies of low-carbon natural gas and RNG to Italy, aligning traditional energy operations with renewable solutions, with developments like the Longanesi field leading the way in supporting a responsible energy transition. With three conventional gas discoveries in Italy already made and fourteen new natural gas exploration projects planned this decade, AleAnna plays a pivotal role in Italy’s energy transition. Italy’s extensive infrastructure, featuring 33,000 kilometers of gas pipelines, three major gas storage facilities, and a strong base of existing RNG facilities, aligns with AleAnna’s commitment to sustainability. AleAnna’s RNG projects’ portfolio includes three plants under development and almost 100 projects representing approximately €1.1 billion potential investment in the next few years. AleAnna operates regional headquarters in Dallas, Texas, and Rome, Italy.

  • MIL-OSI: First Federal Savings Bank and ICBA: 10 Tips for Safe Travel This Summer

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    EVANSVILLE, Ind., July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Americans make their travel plans this summer, First Federal Savings Bank and the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) are sharing planning tips for consumers to minimize unwanted surprises during travel to maximize their enjoyment as they venture away from home.

    “Planning for the unexpected is the key to lessen the financial impact and increase your peace of mind when traveling domestic or abroad. Important factors are trip delays, lost or damaged merchandise, and last-minute expenses,” said Courtney Schmitt, VP, Marketing Manager at First Federal Savings Bank. “Call on First Federal Savings Bank and our expert staff who can offer support if you encounter an unforeseen expense during your travels.”

    ICBA and First Federal Savings Bank urge consumers to consider these 10 tips before departing for their next trip:

    1. Inform your community bank of your travel plans to avoid account holds or transaction rejections when unusual transactions are presented for processing. Set up a travel notice within the My Cards section of our banking app.*
    2. Ensure you have a chip-enabled card or contactless card, particularly if your travel plans take you overseas where chip technology may be a prerequisite for card acceptance.
    3. Carry multiple cards as a backup. Families or couples may get even greater backup coverage if each person takes a different card.
    4. Create transaction alerts for credit and debit cards. If you suspect your information has been compromised, contact your bank and credit card provider immediately. For information about what to do in the event of a lost or stolen card, visit the Visa and Mastercard websites.
    5. Inquire about special card features like travel accident insurance and traveler’s assistance.
    6. Choose an ATM or bank for currency purchases for fewer fees and an exact conversion rate.
    7. Check card readers for signs of tampering. When in doubt, choose another terminal.
    8. Lock away valuables such as passports, backup credit cards, financial information, and cash.
    9. Use social media with care. Posting your pictures or whereabouts during travel could leave you susceptible to home invaders.
    10. Monitor charge activity. Review purchases and ATM withdrawals with your bank and credit card companies when you return home and save your receipts. Be sure to set up alerts within the My Cards section of our banking app* to receive alerts in real time.

  • MIL-OSI: Vixor Announces $2M Seed Round to Redefine Market-Making with Free, Automated Liquidity Management

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    VICTORIA, Seychelles, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vixor has officially launched its $2 million Seed Round, raising capital to fuel the growth of its free, fully automated market-making platform. With this raise, Vixor aims to help crypto projects of all sizes take full control of their liquidity strategies without the high costs, opacity, and inefficiency that have long plagued traditional market-making services.

    Vixor is tackling one of the most persistent challenges in crypto — the inability of smaller teams to build and sustain liquid, transparent, and healthy token markets. By offering an AI-powered, automated, and completely free platform, Vixor removes the need for expensive retainers and middlemen while giving projects the tools to thrive on their own terms.

    At the center of the platform is VXR, Vixor’s utility token, which unlocks access and drives ecosystem growth. Seed Round investors can acquire VXR at just $0.10 per token, an 80% discount compared to the planned token generation event price of $0.50. This marks the beginning of Vixor’s larger $10 million fundraising strategy and offers early supporters the most advantageous entry point.

    The capital raised will accelerate product development, expand Vixor into new markets, and strengthen the VXR token economy. Around 35% of proceeds are earmarked for product and infrastructure, with another 25% devoted to marketing, community building, and user acquisition. Additional funds will cover exchange listings, liquidity provisioning, team expansion, and legal and compliance needs.

    Vixor has already made waves by replacing outdated and costly market-making models with a transparent, efficient, and accessible alternative. Projects using Vixor benefit from real-time analytics, arbitrage protection, buyback and cash-out strategies, and seamless execution across more than 100 exchanges, all from one intuitive dashboard and completely free.

    The Seed Round terms are designed to align with Vixor’s long-term vision of sustainable growth and adoption. Tokens are priced at $0.10 each, with a six-month cliff followed by 18 months of linear vesting. This structure rewards early believers while fostering platform stability over time.

    Investors in this round are backing more than just a product; they’re supporting a movement to make liquidity fair, open, and efficient for every crypto project, regardless of size.

    Vixor’s Seed Round is now live. To learn more and join the round, visit https://vixor.io.

  • MIL-OSI Economics: Code highlighting with Cursor AI for $500,000

    Source: Securelist – Kaspersky

    Headline: Code highlighting with Cursor AI for $500,000

    Attacks that leverage malicious open-source packages are becoming a major and growing threat. This type of attacks currently seems commonplace, with reports of infected packages in repositories like PyPI or npm appearing almost daily. It would seem that increased scrutiny from researchers on these repositories should have long ago minimized the profits for cybercriminals trying to make a fortune from malicious packages. However, our investigation into a recent cyberincident once again confirmed that open-source packages remain an attractive way for attackers to make easy money.

    Infected out of nowhere

    In June 2025, a blockchain developer from Russia reached out to us after falling victim to a cyberattack. He’d had around $500,000 in crypto assets stolen from him. Surprisingly, the victim’s operating system had been installed only a few days prior. Nothing but essential and popular apps had been downloaded to the machine. The developer was well aware of the cybersecurity risks associated with crypto transactions, so he was vigilant and carefully reviewed his every step while working online. Additionally, he used free online services for malware detection to protect his system, but no commercial antivirus software.

    The circumstances of the infection piqued our interest, and we decided to investigate the origins of the incident. After obtaining a disk image of the infected system, we began our analysis.

    Syntax highlighting with a catch

    As we examined the files on the disk, a file named extension.js caught our attention. We found it at %userprofile%.cursorextensionssolidityai.solidity-1.0.9-universalsrcextension.js. Below is a snippet of its content:

    A request sent by the extension to the server

    This screenshot clearly shows the code requesting and executing a PowerShell script from the web server angelic[.]su: a sure sign of malware.

    It turned out that extension.js was a component of the Solidity Language extension for the Cursor AI IDE, which is based on Visual Studio Code and designed for AI-assisted development. The extension is available in the Open VSX registry, used by Cursor AI, and was published about two months ago. At the time this research, the extension had been downloaded 54,000 times. The figure was likely inflated. According to the description, the extension offers numerous features to optimize work with Solidity smart contract code, specifically syntax highlighting:

    The extension’s description in the Open VSX registry

    We analyzed the code of every version of this extension and confirmed that it was a fake: neither syntax highlighting nor any of the other claimed features were implemented in any version. The extension has nothing to do with smart contracts. All it does is download and execute malicious code from the aforementioned web server. Furthermore, we discovered that the description of the malicious plugin was copied by the attackers from the page of a legitimate extension, which had 61,000 downloads.

    How the extension got on the computer

    So, we found that the malicious extension had 54,000 downloads, while the legitimate one had 61,000. But how did the attackers manage to lull the developer’s vigilance? Why would he download a malicious extension with fewer downloads than the original?

    We found out that while trying to install a Solidity code syntax highlighter, the developer searched the extension registry for solidity. This query returned the following:

    Search results for “solidity”: the malicious (red) and legitimate (green) extensions

    In the search results, the malicious extension appeared fourth, while the legitimate one was only in eighth place. Thus, while reviewing the search results, the developer clicked the first extension in the list with a significant number of downloads – which unfortunately proved to be the malicious one.

    The ranking algorithm trap

    How did the malicious extension appear higher in search results than the legitimate one, especially considering it had fewer downloads? It turns out the Open VSX registry ranks search results by relevance, which considers multiple factors, such as the extension rating, how recently it was published or updated, the total number of downloads, and whether the extension is verified. Consequently, the ranking is determined by a combination of factors: for example, an extension with a low number of downloads can still appear near the top of search results if that metric is offset by its recency. This is exactly what happened with the malicious plugin: the fake extension’s last update date was June 15, 2025, while the legitimate one was last updated on May 30, 2025. Thus, due to the overall mix of factors, the malicious extension’s relevance surpassed that of the original, which allowed the attackers to promote the fake extension in the search results.

    The developer, who fell into the ranking algorithm trap, didn’t get the functionality he wanted: the extension didn’t do any syntax highlighting in Solidity. The victim mistook this for a bug, which he decided to investigate later, and continued his work. Meanwhile, the extension quietly installed malware on his computer.

    From PowerShell scripts to remote control

    As mentioned above, when the malicious plugin was activated, it downloaded a PowerShell script from https://angelic[.]su/files/1.txt.

    The PowerShell script contents

    The script checks if the ScreenConnect remote management software is installed on the computer. If not, it downloads a second malicious PowerShell script from: https://angelic[.]su/files/2.txt. This new script then downloads the ScreenConnect installer to the infected computer from https://lmfao[.]su/Bin/ScreenConnect.ClientSetup.msi?e=Access&y=Guest and runs it. From that point on, the attackers can control the infected computer via the newly installed software, which is configured to communicate with the C2 server relay.lmfao[.]su.

    Data theft

    Further analysis revealed that the attackers used ScreenConnect to upload three VBScripts to the compromised machine:

    • a.vbs
    • b.vbs
    • m.vbs

    Each of these downloaded a PowerShell script from the text-sharing service paste.ee. The download URL was obfuscated, as shown in the image below:

    The obfuscated URL for downloading the PowerShell script

    The downloaded PowerShell script then retrieved an image from archive[.]org. A loader known as VMDetector was then extracted from this image. VMDetector attacks were previously observed in phishing campaigns that targeted entities in Latin America. The loader downloaded and ran the final payload from paste.ee.

    Our analysis of the VBScripts determined that the following payloads were downloaded to the infected computer:

    • Quasar open-source backdoor (via a.vbs and b.vbs),
    • Stealer that collected data from browsers, email clients, and crypto wallets (via m.vbs). Kaspersky products detect this malware as HEUR:Trojan-PSW.MSIL.PureLogs.gen.

    Both implants communicated with the C2 server 144.172.112[.]84, which resolved to relay.lmfao[.]su at the time of our analysis. With these tools, the attackers successfully obtained passphrases for the developer’s wallets and then syphoned off cryptocurrency.

    New malicious package

    The malicious plugin didn’t last long in the extension store and was taken down on July 2, 2025. By that time, it had already been detected not only by us as we investigated the incident but also by other researchers. However, the attackers continued their campaign: just one day after the removal, they published another malicious package named “solidity”, this time exactly replicating the name of the original legitimate extension. The functionality of the fake remained unchanged: the plugin downloaded a malicious PowerShell script onto the victim’s device. However, the attackers sought to inflate the number of downloads dramatically. The new extension was supposedly downloaded around two million times. The following results appeared up until recently when users searched for solidity within the Cursor AI development environment (the plugin is currently removed thanks to our efforts).

    Updated search results for “solidity”

    The updated search results showed the legitimate and malicious extensions appearing side-by-side in the search rankings, occupying the seventh and eighth positions respectively. The developer names look identical at first glance, but the legitimate package was uploaded by juanblanco, while the malicious one was uploaded by juanbIanco. The font used by Cursor AI makes the lowercase letter l and uppercase I appear identical.

    Therefore, the search results displayed two seemingly identical extensions: the legitimate one with 61,000 downloads and the malicious one with two million downloads. Which one would the user choose to install? Making the right choice becomes a real challenge.

    Similar cyberattacks

    It’s worth noting that the Solidity extensions we uncovered are not the only malicious packages published by the attackers behind this operation. We used our open-source package monitoring tool to find a malicious npm package called “solsafe”. It uses the URL https://staketree[.]net/1.txt to download ScreenConnect. In this campaign, it’s also configured to use relay.lmfao[.]su for communication with the attackers.

    We also discovered that April and May 2025 saw three malicious Visual Studio Code extensions published: solaibot, among-eth, and blankebesxstnion. The infection method used in these threats is strikingly similar to the one we described above. In fact, we found almost identical functionality in their malicious scripts.

    Scripts downloaded by the VS Code extension (left) vs. Solidity Language (right)

    In addition, all of the listed extensions perform the same malicious actions during execution, namely:

    • Download PowerShell scripts named 1.txt and 2.txt.
    • Use a VBScript with an obfuscated URL to download a payload from paste.ee.
    • Download an image with a payload from archive.org.

    This leads us to conclude that these infection schemes are currently being widely used to attack blockchain developers. We believe the attackers won’t stop with the Solidity extensions or the solsafe package that we found.

    Takeaways

    Malicious packages continue to pose a significant threat to the crypto industry. Many projects today rely on open-source tools downloaded from package repositories. Unfortunately, packages from these repositories are often a source of malware infections. Therefore, we recommend extreme caution when downloading any tools. Always verify that the package you’re downloading isn’t a fake. If a package doesn’t work as advertised after you install it, be suspicious and check the downloaded source code.

    In many cases, malware installed via fake open-source packages is well-known, and modern cybersecurity solutions can effectively block it. Even experienced developers must not neglect security solutions, as these can help prevent an attack in case a malicious package is installed.

It would seem that increased scrutiny from researchers on these repositories should have long ago minimized the profits for cybercriminals trying to make a fortune from malicious packages. However, our investigation into a recent cyberincident once again confirmed that open-source packages remain an attractive way for attackers to make easy money.

    Infected out of nowhere

    In June 2025, a blockchain developer from Russia reached out to us after falling victim to a cyberattack. He’d had around $500,000 in crypto assets stolen from him. Surprisingly, the victim’s operating system had been installed only a few days prior. Nothing but essential and popular apps had been downloaded to the machine. The developer was well aware of the cybersecurity risks associated with crypto transactions, so he was vigilant and carefully reviewed his every step while working online. Additionally, he used free online services for malware detection to protect his system, but no commercial antivirus software.

    The circumstances of the infection piqued our interest, and we decided to investigate the origins of the incident. After obtaining a disk image of the infected system, we began our analysis.

    Syntax highlighting with a catch

    As we examined the files on the disk, a file named extension.js caught our attention. We found it at %userprofile%.cursorextensionssolidityai.solidity-1.0.9-universalsrcextension.js. Below is a snippet of its content:

    A request sent by the extension to the server

    This screenshot clearly shows the code requesting and executing a PowerShell script from the web server angelic[.]su: a sure sign of malware.

    It turned out that extension.js was a component of the Solidity Language extension for the Cursor AI IDE, which is based on Visual Studio Code and designed for AI-assisted development. The extension is available in the Open VSX registry, used by Cursor AI, and was published about two months ago. At the time this research, the extension had been downloaded 54,000 times. The figure was likely inflated. According to the description, the extension offers numerous features to optimize work with Solidity smart contract code, specifically syntax highlighting:

    The extension’s description in the Open VSX registry

    We analyzed the code of every version of this extension and confirmed that it was a fake: neither syntax highlighting nor any of the other claimed features were implemented in any version. The extension has nothing to do with smart contracts. All it does is download and execute malicious code from the aforementioned web server. Furthermore, we discovered that the description of the malicious plugin was copied by the attackers from the page of a legitimate extension, which had 61,000 downloads.

    How the extension got on the computer

    So, we found that the malicious extension had 54,000 downloads, while the legitimate one had 61,000. But how did the attackers manage to lull the developer’s vigilance? Why would he download a malicious extension with fewer downloads than the original?

    We found out that while trying to install a Solidity code syntax highlighter, the developer searched the extension registry for solidity. This query returned the following:

    Search results for “solidity”: the malicious (red) and legitimate (green) extensions

    In the search results, the malicious extension appeared fourth, while the legitimate one was only in eighth place. Thus, while reviewing the search results, the developer clicked the first extension in the list with a significant number of downloads – which unfortunately proved to be the malicious one.

    The ranking algorithm trap

    How did the malicious extension appear higher in search results than the legitimate one, especially considering it had fewer downloads? It turns out the Open VSX registry ranks search results by relevance, which considers multiple factors, such as the extension rating, how recently it was published or updated, the total number of downloads, and whether the extension is verified. Consequently, the ranking is determined by a combination of factors: for example, an extension with a low number of downloads can still appear near the top of search results if that metric is offset by its recency. This is exactly what happened with the malicious plugin: the fake extension’s last update date was June 15, 2025, while the legitimate one was last updated on May 30, 2025. Thus, due to the overall mix of factors, the malicious extension’s relevance surpassed that of the original, which allowed the attackers to promote the fake extension in the search results.

    The developer, who fell into the ranking algorithm trap, didn’t get the functionality he wanted: the extension didn’t do any syntax highlighting in Solidity. The victim mistook this for a bug, which he decided to investigate later, and continued his work. Meanwhile, the extension quietly installed malware on his computer.

    From PowerShell scripts to remote control

    As mentioned above, when the malicious plugin was activated, it downloaded a PowerShell script from https://angelic[.]su/files/1.txt.

    The PowerShell script contents

    The script checks if the ScreenConnect remote management software is installed on the computer. If not, it downloads a second malicious PowerShell script from: https://angelic[.]su/files/2.txt. This new script then downloads the ScreenConnect installer to the infected computer from https://lmfao[.]su/Bin/ScreenConnect.ClientSetup.msi?e=Access&y=Guest and runs it. From that point on, the attackers can control the infected computer via the newly installed software, which is configured to communicate with the C2 server relay.lmfao[.]su.

    Data theft

    Further analysis revealed that the attackers used ScreenConnect to upload three VBScripts to the compromised machine:

    • a.vbs
    • b.vbs
    • m.vbs

    Each of these downloaded a PowerShell script from the text-sharing service paste.ee. The download URL was obfuscated, as shown in the image below:

    The obfuscated URL for downloading the PowerShell script

    The downloaded PowerShell script then retrieved an image from archive[.]org. A loader known as VMDetector was then extracted from this image. VMDetector attacks were previously observed in phishing campaigns that targeted entities in Latin America. The loader downloaded and ran the final payload from paste.ee.

    Our analysis of the VBScripts determined that the following payloads were downloaded to the infected computer:

    • Quasar open-source backdoor (via a.vbs and b.vbs),
    • Stealer that collected data from browsers, email clients, and crypto wallets (via m.vbs). Kaspersky products detect this malware as HEUR:Trojan-PSW.MSIL.PureLogs.gen.

    Both implants communicated with the C2 server 144.172.112[.]84, which resolved to relay.lmfao[.]su at the time of our analysis. With these tools, the attackers successfully obtained passphrases for the developer’s wallets and then syphoned off cryptocurrency.

    New malicious package

    The malicious plugin didn’t last long in the extension store and was taken down on July 2, 2025. By that time, it had already been detected not only by us as we investigated the incident but also by other researchers. However, the attackers continued their campaign: just one day after the removal, they published another malicious package named “solidity”, this time exactly replicating the name of the original legitimate extension. The functionality of the fake remained unchanged: the plugin downloaded a malicious PowerShell script onto the victim’s device. However, the attackers sought to inflate the number of downloads dramatically. The new extension was supposedly downloaded around two million times. The following results appeared up until recently when users searched for solidity within the Cursor AI development environment (the plugin is currently removed thanks to our efforts).

    Updated search results for “solidity”

    The updated search results showed the legitimate and malicious extensions appearing side-by-side in the search rankings, occupying the seventh and eighth positions respectively. The developer names look identical at first glance, but the legitimate package was uploaded by juanblanco, while the malicious one was uploaded by juanbIanco. The font used by Cursor AI makes the lowercase letter l and uppercase I appear identical.

    Therefore, the search results displayed two seemingly identical extensions: the legitimate one with 61,000 downloads and the malicious one with two million downloads. Which one would the user choose to install? Making the right choice becomes a real challenge.

    Similar cyberattacks

    It’s worth noting that the Solidity extensions we uncovered are not the only malicious packages published by the attackers behind this operation. We used our open-source package monitoring tool to find a malicious npm package called “solsafe”. It uses the URL https://staketree[.]net/1.txt to download ScreenConnect. In this campaign, it’s also configured to use relay.lmfao[.]su for communication with the attackers.

    We also discovered that April and May 2025 saw three malicious Visual Studio Code extensions published: solaibot, among-eth, and blankebesxstnion. The infection method used in these threats is strikingly similar to the one we described above. In fact, we found almost identical functionality in their malicious scripts.

    Scripts downloaded by the VS Code extension (left) vs. Solidity Language (right)

    In addition, all of the listed extensions perform the same malicious actions during execution, namely:

    • Download PowerShell scripts named 1.txt and 2.txt.
    • Use a VBScript with an obfuscated URL to download a payload from paste.ee.
    • Download an image with a payload from archive.org.

    This leads us to conclude that these infection schemes are currently being widely used to attack blockchain developers. We believe the attackers won’t stop with the Solidity extensions or the solsafe package that we found.

    Takeaways

    Malicious packages continue to pose a significant threat to the crypto industry. Many projects today rely on open-source tools downloaded from package repositories. Unfortunately, packages from these repositories are often a source of malware infections. Therefore, we recommend extreme caution when downloading any tools. Always verify that the package you’re downloading isn’t a fake. If a package doesn’t work as advertised after you install it, be suspicious and check the downloaded source code.

    In many cases, malware installed via fake open-source packages is well-known, and modern cybersecurity solutions can effectively block it. Even experienced developers must not neglect security solutions, as these can help prevent an attack in case a malicious package is installed.

    Source: United Kingdom – Executive Government & Departments

    Press release

    British investment boost in Ukraine to benefit both countries

    British investment boost in Ukraine to support security and prosperity of both countries

    • New UK package of support for Ukraine’s immediate and longer-term needs at Ukraine Recovery Conference.
    • UK and Ukraine conclude historic deal for Thales Air Defence missiles, boosting British growth and jobs and keeping Ukraine in the fight.
    • UK also confirms up to £283 million in bilaterial assistance for Ukraine over the next year.

    Two hundred British jobs will be created and another 700 safeguarded in a major defence deal between the UK and Ukraine to be signed at this year’s Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC). 

    The jobs at Thales in Belfast come as the UK and Ukraine successfully conclude the largest export credit agency-backed deal in Ukraine.  

    Supported by a £2.5 billion guarantee with a 19-year financing agreement, the funds can now be released. This enables the delivery of more than 5000 Air Defence missiles from British business Thales – in what is not only a major boost to the UK’s defence capabilities but will also keep Ukraine in the fight, boosting their defence against Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion.  

    Representing the Prime Minister at the conference, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Minister for Exports Gareth Thomas will formally sign the agreement with the Government of Ukraine, marking a key milestone in the UK-Ukraine defence cooperation.  

    The deal delivers on this Government’s Plan for Change, by spending more on defence and creating jobs we will keep the country safe and boost economic growth.  

    In a speech at the conference in Rome, the Deputy Prime Minister will also reaffirm the UK’s bilateral assistance to Ukraine for the financial year 2025-2026 of up to £283 million. This will keep the country in the fight and ensure Ukrainians living through Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion have access to vital support across humanitarian, energy, stabilisation, reform, recovery and reconstruction needs.  

    Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said:

    As we continue to witness the enduring strength of the Ukrainian people, the UK stands by their side to provide the assistance their country needs to not only stay in the fight, but to rebuild and recover.

    This announcement underlines our continued support for Ukraine – boosting their air defences against devastating drone and missile attacks and supporting the critical work to reconstruct this nation and provide the hope that they need.

    This will also provide skilled jobs in the UK and is all part of our Plan for Change – bolstering the UK defence industry and strengthening our international ties.

    Minister for Services, Small Business and Exports Gareth Thomas said on the Thales deal: 

    This landmark agreement is a powerful example of how British expertise is supporting Ukraine’s defence and recovery while creating high-quality jobs at home. 

    By unlocking UKEF-backed finance, we’re enabling the delivery of vital equipment to Ukraine and strengthening our own defence industrial base. 

    It’s a clear demonstration of our Plan for Change in action—backing British business, boosting exports, and standing shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression.” 

    The UK will provide up to £10.5 million for the Governance Reform Programme and up to £1 million in support of Ukraine’s Green Transition Office in financial year 2025 to 2026 to help Ukraine reform for the future. £10.5 million will go towards efforts on rule of law, justice and anti-corruption while £1 million will fund work on green transition and energy, both supporting Ukraine on its path to becoming a prosperous, green and modern European nation.   

    During the conference, British International Investment (BII) will also confirm €30 million for MHP, a leading Ukrainian agribusiness. MHP employs over 30,000 people in Ukraine, with more than 40% being women. The loan will help them to safeguard jobs and boost resilience in the food and agriculture sectors during Russia’s full-scale invasion. MHP, Ukraine’s largest poultry and processed meat producer, exports to over 70 countries.  

    Underpinning much of these efforts, the UK will endorse the Government of Ukraine’s insurance agreement. This initiative seeks to make insurance more affordable and widely accessible for businesses, including those in the UK, helping to derisk their investments into Ukraine. 

    The UK is committed to supporting Ukraine win the war and the peace, emerging as a stronger, more prosperous and free nation, resilient to Russian threats. Our 100 Year Partnership, alongside the commitments made at URC, reaffirm the UK’s iron-clad support for Ukraine now and into the future.  

    In total, the UK has committed £18.3 billion for Ukraine with £13 billion in military support and £5.3 billion in non-military support.  

    Background:  
    • More information on the UK’s overall support to Ukraine can be found here. 
    • The £10.5 million and £1 million funding commitments sit within the £283 million for the financial year 2025-2026.  
    • The UK and Ukraine will sign the UKEF financing agreement on Thales, with representatives from both governments formalizing the deal’s conclusion at URC.  
    • The BII investment will be funded from capital the UK Government has already provided (£250 million) to support BII’s expansion into Ukraine.

    Press release

    UK Export Finance announces backing of major Taiwan offshore wind project

    UK Export Finance provides support for British exporters supplying a new multi-million pound renewable energy development.

    Greater Changhua 2 is a 632 MW offshore wind farm comprised of both Greater Changhua 2a, which is operational, and Greater Changhua 2b, which is under construction

    • Export Credit Agency provides guarantee to develop one of Asia’s largest offshore wind sites

    • Backing of wind farm will unlock opportunities for British exporters, strengthening Britain’s position as a clean energy superpower

    UK Export Finance (UKEF) is guaranteeing financing for a major offshore wind farm project in Taiwan, creating export opportunities for British businesses.

    In support of the government’s Plan for Change and its mission to kickstart economic growth, UKEF – the UK government’s export credit agency – is providing a €146 million Buyer Credit Guarantee to assist the development of 632MW of renewable energy capacity off coast in the Taiwan Strait.

    The deal enables British exporters Cadeler, CRP Subsea, Ordtek, and Cathie to secure contracts to provide specialised services and critical components.

    It also supports jobs across the UK’s renewable energy supply chain, reinforcing Britain’s position as a global leader in the low-carbon transition – a key ambition set out in the government’s modern Industrial Strategy.

    Ørsted, the lead sponsor for this project, is a great example of a business transforming from one reliant on fossil fuels to one based on renewable energy.

    The new wind farm will result in reductions of carbon emissions estimated at 1,118,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.

    The project is being financed in collaboration with export credit agencies from Denmark, Norway, South Korea, and Taiwan.

    Minister for Exports, Gareth Thomas, said:

    This shows how Government is boosting exports in our key growth sectors and supporting jobs across the country as part of our Plan for Change.

    This investment will enable British innovation in renewable technology to scale up Taiwan’s clean energy transition and follows our modern Industrial Strategy, which provides up to £13 billion of direct lending for UKEF to help businesses to export.

    Trond Westlie, Group CFO of Ørsted, said:

    We’ve received very strong support from both international and local banks and export credit agencies for the project financing of Greater Changhua 2. This shows that there is a healthy appetite for premium assets with robust contractual structures, and it’s a clear sign that we’re working diligently to deliver on our divestment and partnerships programme.

    Danielle Baron, Global Head of Energy & Real Assets, Credit Agricole CIB, said:

    As the ECA Coordinator and Documentation Bank for the multi-billion financing of the Greater Changhua 2 project, Crédit Agricole CIB reaffirms its strong commitment to the renewable energy sector. This landmark transaction highlights our dedication to supporting our clients and partners in delivering society’s clean energy needs. It underscores the strength of our collaboration with UKEF and the other European Export Credit Agencies, whose contribution have been key to the development of the offshore wind sector in the APAC region.

    This announcement helps to deliver UKEF’s goal to provide at least £10 billion of financing for sustainable and renewable projects by 2030, enabling the UK to build export opportunities in clean growth sectors while supporting global decarbonisation efforts.
