Лавров обсудил карабахский конфликт с Керри и Штайнмайером

Как сообщают СМИ, министр иностранных дел России Сергей Лавров на этой неделе посетит Южный Кавказ. В преддверии визита, в минувшие выходные, Лавров провел телефонные переговоры с госсекретарем США Джоном Керри, а также с министром иностранных дел Германии и действующим председателем ОБСЕ, Франк-Вальтер Штайнмайером. Согласно СМИ главной темой двух разговоров стала ситуация вокруг карабахского конфликта и процесс его мирного урегулирования.

Штайнмайер только что вернулся в Берлин после посещения Южного Кавказа. Немецкое председательство в ОБСЕ прилагает значительные усилия для поддержки мирного процесса вокруг карабахского конфликта, который номинально проходит под эгидой ОБСЕ, но в основном им занимаются три страны-сопредседателя Минской группы - Франции, России и США. МИД России сообщил, что разговор между Лавровым и Штайнмайером был инициирован немецкой стороной.

Со своей стороны госсекретарь США Джон Керри также намерен посетить регион на этой неделе, и, как сообщается, 6 июля он прибудет в Грузию. Из Тбилиси Керри отправится в Варшаву для участия в Саммите НАТО.

Россия, являясь одним из сопредседателей Минской группы ОБСЕ по Нагорному Карабаху, также предпринимает отдельные усилия для решения конфликта и, как сообщается, не заинтересована во вовлечении в них третьей стороны. Однако, по мнению аналитиков, ввиду того, что регион становится все более значимым, российскую монополию не возможно будет сохранить, и Россия рано или поздно должна будет принять это.

Moldova votes in crucial parliamentary elections

Moldova votes in crucial parliamentary elections

Moldova is voting in crucial parliamentary elections that will determine the country's future. Sunday's general election will be the most crucial since Moldova gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Russia is doing all it can to divert the country from its European course. If a flood of videos on TikTok is to be believed, the people of Moldova are currently living through a reign of terror. These short videos claim that the country is being governed by a "dictatorship" of its pro-European President, Maia Sandu, and the ruling liberal-conservative Action and Solidarity Party (PAS). They also allege that this "puppet regime" has sold itself to the EU and NATO and US billionaire George Soros with a view to destroying Moldova's agriculture, "introducing LGBTQ ideology" and leading the country into a war against the Russian Federation. One of the people who posts such things on TikTok almost daily is former President Igor Dodon, a devoted follower of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Dodon is leader of the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova (PSRM) and head of the Patriotic Electoral Bloc alliance. The logo of the alliance features a red-and-white star surrounding a heart with the Soviet hammer and sickle at its center. Dodon describes himself as right-wing and committed to "traditional values," closing his videos with the Orthodox Christian salutation "God help us!" This blend of hatred of Europe and the West, Soviet nostalgia, loyalty to the Kremlin, Orthodox Christian piety and right-wing populism appeals to a large part of Moldovan society, particularly in view of the precarious economic situation of many people in the country, especially pensioners. On Sunday, Moldovans go to the polls to elect a new parliament. This will be the first scheduled general election since Moldova and Ukraine were granted candidate status by the EU in 20 For months now, the poll has been seen as a pivotal election and one that could take the country either further along the road to the EU or back to Russia. Opinion polls in the country are considered notoriously unreliable. The unpredictability of the vote is further compounded by the fact that almost half of all voters have still not made up their mind who they are going to vote for. Even though Sandu's liberal-conservative, pro-European, anti-corruption civil rights party PAS is expected to remain the strongest party, it might lose the absolute majority it got in 2021. Two other electoral alliances that opinion polls indicate will be represented in the new parliament are both clearly pro-Russian. These are the Patriotic Electoral Bloc and the political alliance known as Alternative, which was founded by Mayor of Chisinau, Ion Ceban. Our Party (PN) is another party that could enter parliament. It was founded by businessman Renato Usatii, a political adventurer and populist who made his fortune in Russia and is hard to pin down politically. Usatii could end up holding the balance of power and determining whether the country keeps its pro-European government or gets a pro-Russian one.
