Новый спец представитель ЕС встретился с руководством Армении в момент когда напряженность на линии соприкосновения увеличивается, при этом обе стороны сообщают о погибших.

Новый спец представитель Европейского Союза на Южном Кавказе, Герберт Саблер, в среду в Ереване в ходе своего первого визита в эту страну после его назначения встретился с президентом Армении Сержем Саргсяном.

В ходе встречи президент Серж Саргсян подчеркнул, что Армения придает большое значение должности специального представителя ЕС на Южном Кавказе и заверил своего гостя о готовности Армении содействовать конструктивному сотрудничеству.

Герберт Зальбер подчеркнул, что с его назначением Европейский Союз хочет послать сообщение о том, что он стремится участвовать в урегулировании существующих конфликтов и в развитии сотрудничества. По его словам, это именно то, о чем его визит в три страны региона был направлен на. Саблер подтвердил о готовности ЕС содействовать мирному решению нагорно-карабахского конфликта, признавая первостепенную роль Минской группы ОБСЕ в этом процессе.

Визит специального представителя ЕС на Южный Кавказ совпал с периодом повышенной напряженности на линии соприкосновения, стороны заявляют о погибших. В четверг и Армения, и Азербайджан сообщили о серьезном нарушении режима прекращения огня. Армения утверждает, что были убиты двое ее солдат. Азербайджан также заявляет, что один из его солдат был убит. Армянская сторона говорит, что двое погибших были из Нагорного Карабаха. Они также сообщили, что в ходе другого инцидента в районе села Айгедзор были ранены гражданские лица. Азербайджан заявил, что один из его солдат был убит армянским снайпером, но не указал на место, где это произошло. Представитель ОБСЕ, как ожидается, проконтролируют линию соприкосновения во время плановой проверки завтра.

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).
