An investigation by the Kyiv Independent reveals a coordinated rise in hate speech against Ukrainians across Central Europe, with organized campaigns targeting refugee communities.

The European Commission is reportedly examining these developments as part of broader regional security concerns, per the Independent.

Meanwhile, the European Central Bank maintained its key interest rate at 2.5% following a meeting that concluded today, CNBC reports.

EU leaders are also preparing for a new head of the ECB after Christine Lagarde's early departure, as RFI notes.
