Байден посещает Киев в знак поддержки Украины.

Вице-президент США Джо Байден находится с визитом в Киеве, где он, как ожидается, встретиться с украинскими лидерами и объявить о мерах в поддержку экономики страны. Однако, визит Байдена в первую очередь имеет политическое значение и приходится на решающий момент, когда кризис в Украине, кажется, вступает в решающую фазу. Визит самого высокопоставленного чиновника США в Украину в  кризис, разразившийся с прошлого года, свидетельствует о том, что США сейчас уже решили дать полную свою поддержку украинским властям, в попытках удержать страну в целостности в лице явных попыток России расчленить ее. После того как Россия вторглась и аннексировала Крым в марте этого года, на протяжении последних дней мир наблюдал за завуалированными попытками России повторить тот же сценарий в восточном регионе Украины, в Донецкой области.

В западных столицах вызывает раздражение и тревогу тот факт, что Россия не приняла никаких мер по реализации соглашения, которое было достигнуто в прошлый четверг на переговорах в Женеве с представителями Украины, США и Европейским Союзом. Вместо этого министр иностранных дел Лавров в понедельник заявил, что украинские власти потеряли контроль над ситуацией, в очередной попытке подорвать легитимность их право представлять Украинский народ.

По словам политического редактора Commonspace.eu, становится ясно, что администрация Обамы пришла к выводу, что путинская Россия больше не является надежным партнером в международных отношениях и должна быть изолирована. В то время как в самой Украине в настоящее время разыгрывается противостояние сама проблема стала еще глобальнее. Скорее всего в течение ближайших дней будет объявлено о новых санкциях, и они будут сопровождаться поддержкой присутствия НАТО в Восточной Европе. В самой Украине ситуация прежде чем улучится она ухудшиться. Еще месяц остается до президентских выборов 25 мая, которые имеют решающее значение для подтверждения легитимности нынешнего руководства страны. Понятно, что Россия попытается создать нестабильность в Восточной Украине для того, чтобы эти выборы  потерпели неудачу, по крайней мере в одной части страны.

Council of Europe launches new International Claims Commission for Ukraine

Thirty-four countries and the European Union have signed a new convention establishing an International Claims Commission for Ukraine at a diplomatic conference co-hosted by the 46-nation Council of Europe and the Netherlands in the Hague. The diplomatic conference was attended by leaders and high-level representatives from over 50 states, including the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia Sandu, and the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Dick Schoof.  “Today marks a major step forward in ensuring accountability for Ukraine. The International Claims Commission represents justice and hope for tens of thousands of victims—our determination that those who have suffered will not be forgotten. I call for quick ratifications so we can get the commission rapidly up and running for the people of Ukraine,” said Council of Europe Secretary General Alain Berset. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said: “We expect that every mechanism for compensation from the Register of Damage and Claims Commission to the actual payments – will start working and receive strong and sufficient international support, so that people can truly feel that any kind of damage caused by the war can be compensated. This war, and Russia’s responsibility for it, MUST become a clear example – so that others learn not to choose aggression.” “Accountability is about creating the conditions for peace that endures. And therefore, accountability is a condition of security – today and for the future. But accountability is not only about Ukraine. And it is not only about one aggressor and one victim. Accountability is about Europe. About every country in Europe. It is about whether Europe, as a whole, is willing to defend its peace,” said Maia Sandu, President of the Republic of Moldova, which currently holds the Presidency of the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers. The Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Dick Schoof, said: “Every day Russia is deliberately bombarding homes, destroying businesses and damaging infrastructure in Ukraine. Russia must compensate Ukraine for the damage caused. That is why we have launched the International Claims Commission for Ukraine and we are honoured to host it.” The International Claims Commission will be the second part of a comprehensive compensation mechanism related to Russia’s war of aggression, building on the existing Register of Damage for Ukraine. The claims commission will be established within the framework of the Council of Europe and will also be open to other countries. The Register of Damage for Ukraine, created in 2023, collects and records compensation claims submitted by individuals, organisations and public bodies in Ukraine. Forty-four states and the European Union have so far joined the Register, which has already received 86,000 claims. The International Claims Commission will review, assess and decide upon claims submitted to the Register of Damage for Ukraine and determine the amount of compensation, if any, which is due in each case. The convention establishing the commission will enter into force once it has been ratified by 25 signatories, as long as sufficient funds have been secured to support its initial work.
