In Niger, one of the representatives of the military authorities, General Amadou Ibro, said at a rally in the capital that the country should prepare for “war” with France, accusing Paris of attempting to destabilize the situation. His speech took place in a stadium in front of a young audience, and a video of the speech was widely shared on social media.
According to Jeune Afrique and AFP reports, Ibro, who is said to be the chief of staff of Niger’s leader Abderrahmane Tiani, claimed that France allegedly intends to wage war on Niger and, in this regard, called for preparations for conflict.
The French side rejected these claims. Colonel Guillaume Vernet, a representative of the French General Staff, stated that “French intervention in Niger is not being considered” and called the accusations an element of “information warfare.”
The rhetoric came amid a sharp deterioration in relations between Niamey and Paris following the 2023 military coup and the subsequent withdrawal of French troops from the country. At the end of January 2026, Niger’s leader Tiani also publicly accused the French leadership and a number of neighboring countries of involvement in the attack near Niamey airport, without providing any evidence.
In 2025, the Dila medical laboratory increased the number of tests performed by 10.5%, the number of clients by 4%, and opened 26 new branches.
According to the laboratory’s press release summarizing the results of the past year, the development of online services remained the driver of sales growth in 2025. In particular, in 2025, the share of orders paid online increased by more than 10% to almost a third of orders.
The laboratory notes that in 2025, Dila opened 26 of its own and partner branches. In total, since February 2022, the laboratory has almost doubled its network, and as of the beginning of 2026, the company’s network consists of 276 points of presence.
In the fall of 2025, Dila launched a new clinical diagnostic laboratory in Kyiv with an area of over 2,000 square meters, with a capacity to perform over 15 million tests per year.
The largest amount of capital investment during 2022–2025—about UAH 40 million—was directed toward launching a new laboratory in Kyiv, comprehensively equipping the network of branches with generators and inverters with batteries, and installing additional power lines and uninterruptible power supplies.
“By the beginning of 2026, all of Dila’s own branches and clinical diagnostic laboratories will be operating in a completely autonomous mode,” the laboratory specifies.
They also note that 465 new employees joined the Dila team in 2025, bringing the total number of company personnel to over 2,100.
In addition, as part of corporate social responsibility projects, Dila, together with the Dila Foundation, allocated more than UAH 70.6 million in aid in 2025, and since 2022, over UAH 162.2 million, including UAH 49.3 million for social discounts, of which UAH 45 million was allocated to support the health of military personnel and veterans.
In 2025, Dila transferred UAH 593.2 million in taxes and fees to the state budget, which is 56% more than in 2024.
The volume of the semi-trailer market (new, imported used, domestic market) shrank by 39% in 2025 compared to 2024, to 15,486 thousand units, according to the Automotive Market Research Institute.
“The largest decline (by 46% to 4,445 thousand units) was recorded in the used import segment – the market is actually saturated with European ”second-hand“ vehicles,” according to a statement on the analysts’ website.
It is noted that the secondary market, where the decline was 35.3% to 9,847 units, was dominated by German giants, with Schmitz Cargobull (2,224 units) remaining unattainable, followed by Krone (1,026 units) and Kögel (905 units).
Popular types are flatbed and tent trailers, with tankers holding a significant share, which is critical for the fuel and agricultural sectors.
Experts note that Ukrainian Everlast (129 units) is firmly held in the top ten of this market segment, which, in their opinion, indicates the high liquidity of domestic tankers on the secondary market.
According to analysts, demand in the used imported semi-trailer segment is clearly structured around international routes: in addition to standard tarpaulins, great attention is paid to refrigerated vans.
In this segment, Schmitz Cargobull occupies the lion’s share of the market – almost 2,000 semi-trailers, or almost half of used imports.
Among new semi-trailers, dump trucks (construction and agriculture), refrigerators, and tent trailers are popular. At the same time, among imported new semi-trailers, imports of which fell by 39.1% to 9,581 units, the leading brands were Schmitz Cargobull (352 units) and Wielton (123 units).
At the same time, 236 semi-trailers were produced in Ukraine last year (28.3% less than the previous year), and in the new semi-trailer segment, Ukrainian manufacturer Everlast (82 units) came in fourth after Schmitz Cargobull, Wielton, and Krone, while Ukrainian manufacturers TAD (53 units) and VARZ (46 units) came in fifth and sixth.
Experts believe that when it comes to complex special equipment (trawls or tanks), Ukrainian carriers are increasingly choosing local manufacturers because of better service and adaptation to our conditions.
“The trailer market in 2025 finally got rid of the feverish demand. We see that the number of new Ukrainian-made trailers has fallen significantly less (-28.3%) than imports of new ones (-39.1%). This is an important signal: Ukrainian factories have learned to make a product that businesses are willing to buy even in difficult times,” Stanislav Buchatsky, head of the Automotive Market Research Institute, is quoted as saying in the report.
He notes that the overall decline in the market is not a sign of crisis, but a stage of stabilization—fleets are fully equipped, and logistics chains are in place.
“Now the market is moving towards planned renewal, where the main factors are not the availability of equipment ‘for yesterday’, but its fuel efficiency, weight, and maintenance costs,” he states.
