Россия и Азербайджан обсуждают сотрудничество в сфере обороны

В воскресенье вечером (14 августа) президент Азербайджана Ильхам Алиев встретился с министром обороны России Сергеем Шойгу, который прибыл в Баку с коротким рабочим визитом во главе делегации из Министерства обороны РФ. Визит состоялся всего через несколько дней после визита президента Путина в Баку, где он провел несколько часов обсуждений с азербайджанским коллегой. В четверг Путин провел встречу с Советом национальной безопасности, где дал указания о последующей деятельности по итогам своего визита в Азербайджан и по итогам других встреч, которые он провел с лидерами Ирана, Турции, Азербайджана и Армении.

По словам политического редактора Commonspace.eu, визит Шойгу в Баку спустя всего несколько дней после визита Путина является свидетельством решимости российской стороны продемонстрировать Баку серьезность своих намерений относительно двусторонней повестки дня сотрудничества между ними. Однако, визит также может указывать на то, что Москва, которая столкнулась с сопротивлением со стороны Армении касательно своих планов по урегулированию конфликта в Карабахе в замен пытается подсластить Азербайджан в форме военных поставок и сотрудничества.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
