Рост риска для гражданского населения на границе Армения-Азербайджан

Существует обеспокоенность в связи с повышенным риском для гражданских лиц в ходе нынешних боевых действий между Арменией и Азербайджаном в северном секторе на их международной границе. Уже есть сообщения о жертвах среди мирного населения, в том числе, по крайней мере, о гибели людей с азербайджанской стороны.

Международный комитет Красного Креста (МККК) в заявлении, опубликованном во вторник (14 июля), сообщает, что он обеспокоен гуманитарными последствиями текущих военных действий на международной границе между Арменией и Азербайджаном, которые усилились с 12 июля 2020 года. В заявлении говорится, что эти действия создает дополнительные риски для гражданского населения, проживающего в этом районе, и влияет на его доступ к средствам существования. МККК делится своими соображениями на двусторонней основе со сторонами в конфликте, напоминая им, что они должны всегда проводить различие между гражданскими лицами и лицами, непосредственно участвующими в боевых действиях.

"Мы призываем стороны соблюдать основные нормы международного гуманитарного права и при проведении военных операций принимать все меры предосторожности, необходимые для обеспечения уважения и защиты жизни и инфраструктуры гражданского населения, таких как дома, школы и медицинские учреждения", - сказал Мартин Шуепп, директор по операциям в регионе. "Мы готовы действовать в качестве нейтрального посредника между сторонами и помогать тем, кто пострадал в результате последней эскалации боевых действий".

Andrii Parubiy shot dead in Lviv - a "shot fired at the heart of Ukraine"

Andrii Parubiy shot dead in Lviv - a "shot fired at the heart of Ukraine"

The former speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, Andriy Parubiy, has been shot dead in the Ukrainian western city of Lviv. Police received reports of the shooting in the Frankivsk district of Lviv, western Ukraine, at around midday local time on Saturday. Unconfirmed reports suggest he was shot multiple times by a gunman dressed as a courier on an e-bike. Parubiy, 54, rose to prominence during Ukraine's Euromaidan movement, which advocated for closer ties with the EU and brought down pro-Russian former President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described it as a "terrible murder" and offered his condolences. Parubiy was a pivotal figure in the Euromaidan movement, which began after the Ukrainian government refused to sign an association agreement with the EU in late 2013. He later became secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, during a period when pro-Russian separatists began fighting in eastern Ukraine - and when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the annexation of the Crimea peninsula. Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Parubiy joined Ukraine's territorial defence. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described Parubiy as "a patriot and statesman who made an enormous contribution to the defence of Ukraine's freedom, independence and sovereignty". Sybiha added: "He was a man who rightfully belongs in the history books." Former President Petro Poroshenko said the killing of Parubiy was "a shot fired at the heart of Ukraine".
