Изоляция России в ООН; вето на резолюцию по Украине.

В субботу международное сообщество изолировало Россию и она была вынуждена использовать свое право на вето, чтобы остановить принятие резолюции с критикой ее действий в Украине. Голосование состоялось после многодневной и интенсивной дипломатической деятельности в Нью-Йорке, направленной на создание международного консенсуса в отношении Украины.

Однако, в конце концов резолюция была одобрена с тринадцатью странами проголосовавшими за нее, против проголосовала Россия, а Китай  от голосования воздержался. Россия использовала право на вето, чтобы остановить принятие резолюции. Резолюция была поддержана тремя постоянными членами Совета Безопасности - Францией, Англией и США, а также всеми десятью непостоянными членами: Австралия, Аргентина, Чад, Чили, Иордания, Литва, Люксембург, Нигерия, Руанда, и Южная Корея.

Голосование состоялось в момент нарастания напряженности на Крымском полуострове в преддверии завтрашнего референдума, направленного на узаконивание аннексии Россией части территории Украины.

В то же время информационные агентства сообщили в субботу о противостоянии между украинскими и российскими военными в районе, прилегающем к Крыму. Информационное агентство Reuters со ссылкой на источники в Министерстве обороны Украины сообщило, что украинская авиация и десантники были подняты по тревоге, чтобы отразить попытку российских военных занять косу на территории, относящейся к соседней с Крымом области. "Подразделения вооруженных сил Украины сегодня пресекли попытку проникновения российских военнослужащих на территорию Херсонской области со стороны Арбатской стрелки" – говорится в сообщении министерства обороны Украины. "Отпор был дан немедленно." В сообщении говорится, что в операции были задействованы самолеты, наземные силы, а также аэромобильный батальон украинской армии. Арбатская стрелка представляет собой длинную узкую полосу земли, идущую параллельно Крымскому полуострову, который в настоящее время контролируется  российскими силами.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
