Обращение СНГ к Грузии. Президент Беларуси выразил надежду на то, что Грузия вернется в состав СНГ после президентских выборов, но это маловероятно. Однако, участие в качестве наблюдателя возможно.

Саммит одиннадцати стран, которые составляют Содружество Независимых Государств (СНГ), состоялся в эту пятницу в Минске, столице Беларуси. Саммит продолжался несколько часов, в течение которых главы государств сначала встретились в частном порядке, и, затем в расширенном составе. Киргизия и Туркменистан были представлены первыми вице-премьерами.

На саммите было принято 14 соглашений, которые будут добавлены к сотням другим, принятыми СНГ за двадцать два года своего существования, многие из которых остаются только на бумаге.

В конце встречи президент Беларуси Александр Лукашенко заявил на пресс-конференции, что лидеры стран СНГ надеются, что Грузия сможет вернуться в состав организации. Грузия вышла из СНГ в 2009 году после войны между Грузией и Россией в августе 2008 года. В это воскресенье в Грузии запланированны президентские выборы, которые станут концом эпохи правления Саакашвили, которая охарактеризовалась враждебными отношениями между Грузией и Россией. Однако, маловероятно, что новый президент Грузии будет спешить к  воссоединению с СНГ. Предположения, что Грузия сможет участвовать в СНГ в качестве наблюдателя могут сформировать некоторые новые договоренности, как только политическая ситуация в Грузии успокоится после выборов.

Также сюрпризом в Минске стали президенты Армении и Азербайджана, Серж Саргсян и Ильхам Алиев. На их лице чувствовался дискомфорт, когда они сидели рядом друг с другом. О двусторонней встрече между ними не сообщалось, хотя на данный момент сопредседатели Минского процесса ОБСЕ предпринимают усилия для организации личной встречи до конца года.

По окончанию Минского саммита Украина взяла на себя председательство в Организации. Следующий саммит пройдет в Киеве.

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).
