ТУСК В АРМЕНИИ: "Этот год решающий для наших отношений".

Президент Европейского Совета Дональд Туск находится с визитом на Южном Кавказе для обсуждения с руководителями стран этого региона их отношений с Европейским Союзом и актуальных международных вопросов.

В понедельник Туск встретился в Ереване с президентом Армении Сержем Саргсяном. После встречи Туск заявил: "Армения решила не использовать возможность ассоциации с ЕС, включая соглашение об углубленной и всеобъемлющей свободной торговле. Это выбор, который Европейский Союз полностью уважает. Мы по-прежнему готовы углубить наши отношения, работая вместе над открытием рынков, над продвижением демократических реформ, экономическим ростом, региональной интеграцией, над построением лучшего бизнес-инвестиционного климата и устойчивого развития. В кратце обширная повестка реформ".

Президент Европейского Совета также говорил о конфликте в Нагорном Карабахе. Он сказал, что "негативные тенденций за последнее время стали причиной для беспокойства". Президент Европейского Совета добавил, что "мирное разрешение этого конфликта остается приоритетом для Европейского Союза. Европейский Союз поддерживает переговоры, направленные на урегулирование конфликта во главе с Минской группой ОБСЕ. Мы поддерживаем дальнейший диалог между Арменией и Азербайджаном, в том числе на самом высоком уровне - на вашем уровне г-н президент важно строго соблюдать прекращение огня, проявлять сдержанность на действия и заявления, а также создать атмосферу, способствующую прогрессу в урегулировании конфликта".

Дональд Туск завершил свое выступление, сказав, что в этот год решающий для будущего отношений между Арменией и Европейским Союзом.

Туск также намерен посетить Грузию и Азербайджан.

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).
