Российский политолог:

Предпринятая Россией попытка единоличного модераторства в карабахском урегулировании, несомненно, является способом повышения своего влияния в регионе. При этом, Россия сейчас действительно искренне стремится что-то сделать, чтобы хотя бы вывести карабахский процесс из тупика, куда его загнали сами стороны, причем не без поддержки извне. Подобное мнение выразил в интервью АрмИнфо главный редактор журнала "Россия в глобальной политике", известный политолог Федор Лукьянов.

"В случае отношений России с Арменией, все прозрачно, так как Россия имеет перед республикой институционально закрепленные обязательства по обеспечению ее безопасности. Эти обязательства Россия будет неуклонно выполнять, если, не дай Бог, что-нибудь случится и в этом назреет необходимость. Азербайджан в силу объективных складывающихся факторов, прежде всего, на энергетическом рынке, становится все более важной страной как в регионе, так и для России, от которой многое зависит", - заметил он.

Поэтому для Москвы, на взгляд политолога, реализация сценария военной эскалации карабахского конфликта воистину является ужасной перспективой. Политолог отметил, что может быть кто-то и имеет какие-то другие подсчеты, однако, исходя из вышеуказанного геополитического расклада, становится понятно, что в случае новой войны, положение России будет «хуже некуда».

"Россия имеет перед Арменией обязательства, которые нужно выполнять и при этом есть понимание важности второй стороны - Азербайджана. В общем, я не думаю, что существуют какие-то эксклюзивные возможности для того, чтобы радикально воздействовать на ситуацию вокруг карабахского урегулирования. Есть лишь возможность военного вмешательства России в конфликт, в случае повторения его военной фазы, что, думаю, понятно всем. Но других рычагов у России и, в первую очередь, дипломатических для того, чтобы быстро остановить разгорающийся конфликт, я пока не вижу", - подытожил политолог.

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).
