US extends waiver on Russian oil sanctions; EU cuts Ukraine steel imports by 70%; Macron plans pro-Palestine summit; Bundeswehr halts promotions; Germany's €10 billion bunker plan raises transparency concerns.
After reviewing the claims based on available evidence, none of the claims regarding US waivers on Russian oil, EU steel import quotas, Macron's summit, Bundeswehr promotions, or the German bunker budget were fully supported by solid evidence. Rather, various degrees of contradiction and lack of direct evidence were found, leading to a revision of their factScores and confidenceScores accordingly.

US extends waiver on sanctions targeting Russian oil for another 30 days.
The claim about the US extending Russian oil sanctions contains partial evidence. Sources indicate a temporary easing of sanctions but do not clearly state a 30-day extension. As per the available evidence, a waiver was issued but without specifics concerning 30 days. Hence, mixed evidence leads to a moderately supported factual score.

There is no direct evidence of the EU planning to cut steel import quotas by 70%. Existing evidence indicates changes in quotas with increased tariffs on excess imports, but not a 70% cut. Hence, this discrepancy results in a low factScore.
