Швеция вернет внимание ОБСЕ к ее основам

Швеция определила свои приоритеты в рамках своего председательства в Организации по безопасности и сотрудничеству в Европе (ОБСЕ) в 2021 году.

Выступая по видеосвязи в Постоянном совете Организации в Вене с заместителем министра иностранных дел Швеции Робертом Ридбергом, он заявил, что содействие урегулированию конфликтов в регионе ОБСЕ будет занимать первое место в повестке дня его страны, поскольку она берет на себя руководство организацией. Заместитель министра процитировал конфликты в Украине, Приднестровье, Нагорном Карабахе и Грузии и сказал, что они представляют серьезную угрозу для общей безопасности в регионе ОБСЕ.

Обращение Ридберга к Постоянному совету произошло, когда организация столкнулась с одним из самых сложных моментов в своей 25-летней истории после неожиданного решения не продлевать мандат своего высшего руководства.

Не делая прямой ссылки на нынешний кризис, заместитель министра иностранных дел Швеции заявил:

"Организация испытывает серьезные проблемы. Нашей главной задачей должно стать возвращение к основам. Упор будет сделан на фундаментальные задачи ОБСЕ: защищать порядок европейской безопасности и отстаивать всеобъемлющую концепцию безопасности ОБСЕ.

Европейский порядок безопасности - территориальная целостность, воздерживаться от угрозы силой или ее применения и отстаивать право каждой страны выбирать свое собственное внешнее соглашение и меры безопасности - это основной интерес политики безопасности для моей собственной страны. Это отвечает интересам всего региона ОБСЕ. Наша общая приверженность этим принципам датируется Хельсинкским заключительным актом 1975 года и Парижской хартией 1990 года. Настало время, чтобы мы все выполнили эти обязательства. Нарушения международного права и отсутствие ответственности никогда не могут быть приняты".

В заключение шведский дипломат заявил, что ОБСЕ может изменить ситуацию путем диалога, интеграции и соблюдения согласованных принципов.

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).
