Good Morning,

Bosnian Serb president Milorad Dodik has been sentenced for his separatist actions, reflecting ongoing tensions in the region. Meanwhile, Turkey has expressed readiness to deploy troops to Ukraine if needed, highlighting its involvement in the conflict. In economic developments, the Eurogroup president has stated that the Euro is on a clear path to increased use as a reserve currency. In South Korea, a military drill went awry when a fighter jet accidentally bombed a village, injuring seven people. Additionally, the EU ambassador to China has called on Beijing to cease the construction of coal-fired power plants, urging a shift towards more sustainable energy practices.
