Opposition candidates lead in French election polls. German businesses to attend St. Petersburg forum. Chancellor Merz backs tougher EU trade measures against China. Polls indicate AfD could win regional leadership in Germany.

After analyzing the claims, several were found with supporting evidence, while others like the interception of a Russian tanker and changes to the oil price cap had less direct evidence. The Ukrainian President's request for Patriot missile licenses and participation in St. Petersburg by German businesses were clearly supported. Meanwhile, claims about an intercepted oil tanker by France and Chancellor Merz's support required further verification.
