quote:Jailed US reporter Evan Gershkovich to stand trial in Russia on espionage charges, authorities say
Evan Gershkovich, the first American journalist to be arrested on espionage charges in Russia since the Cold War, will stand trial in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg after prosecutors formally accused him of spying for the CIA.
The Russian Prosecutor General’s office said Thursday it had approved the indictment, more than a year after Gershkovich was first detained. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.
Gershkovich, the US government and his employer, the Wall Street Journal, have vehemently denied the charges against him. Less than two weeks after his arrest, Gershkovich was designated as wrongfully detained by the US State Department, which called for his immediate release.
Russian prosecutors said the country’s federal security service (FSB) had “established and documented” that Gershkovich was acting on CIA instructions in the month he was arrested, alleging he had “collected secret information” about a Russian tank factory.
“Gershkovich carried out the illegal actions using painstaking conspiratorial methods,” it said in a statement.

quote:Russia’s war with Ukraine accelerating global climate emergency, report shows
Most comprehensive analysis ever of conflict-driven climate impacts shows emissions greater than those generated by 175 countries in a year
The climate cost of the first two years of Russia’s war on Ukraine was greater than the annual greenhouse gas emissions generated individually by 175 countries, exacerbating the global climate emergency in addition to the mounting death toll and widespread destruction, research reveals.
Russia’s invasion has generated at least 175m tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e), amid a surge in emissions from direct warfare, landscape fires, rerouted flights, forced migration and leaks caused by military attacks on fossil fuel infrastructure – as well as the future carbon cost of reconstruction, according to the most comprehensive analysis ever of conflict-driven climate impacts.
The 175m tonnes includes carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), the most potent of all greenhouse gases. This is on a par with running 90m petrol cars for an entire year – and more than the total emissions generated individually by countries including the Netherlands, Venezuela and Kuwait in 2022.

quote:Russia accused of deliberate tactics of starvation in Mariupol as lawyers submit report to ICC
Lawyers calculated that 22,000 people died during the siege and capture of Mariupol at the beginning of the full-scale war
The Russian army used a "deliberate pattern" of starvation tactics during the 85-day siege of Mariupol in early 2022, which amounts to a war crime, reported The Guardian with reference to a new analysis submitted to the International Criminal Court.
This report was submitted to the International Criminal Court in The Hague by Global Rights Compliance lawyers working together with the Ukrainian government.
Russia and its leaders reportedly intended to kill and harm large numbers of civilians.
Lawyers calculated that during the siege and capture of Mariupol at the beginning of the all-out war, 22,000 people died, and a few days after the siege, civilians were left without water, gas and electricity, and the temperature dropped below -10 C.
Global Rights Compliance Partner Catriona Murdoch said the research aimed to "see if there was a broader narrative" of the Russian military and leadership's deliberate denial of food and other necessities of life — a strategy of starvation that could be equated to war crime
She noted that lawyers drew attention to four phases of the Russian attack:
→ attack on civilian infrastructure;
→ cutting out the supply of electricity, heating and water supply;
→ denial of humanitarian evacuation;
→ attacks while help could not come.
She said the staged shelling of Mariupol demonstrated that Russia planned to capture the city without mercy for the estimated 450,000 civilians by February 24, 2022.
The report concluded that approximately 90% of the city's health facilities and homes were destroyed or damaged during the siege, while food distribution points and humanitarian evacuation routes were bombed.

quote:Germany blocks EU sanctions against Russia
The German government is blocking progress in negotiations on new sanctions against Russia. According to diplomats, Germany's position is the main reason why the EU sanctions plan has not yet been approved.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by the German media outlet RND.
According to diplomats, Germany's position is the main reason why the EU sanctions plan has not yet been approved.
"Recently, there was a feeling that Germany was the new Hungary, the EU official said, referring to the fact that in the past, the Budapest government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban had repeatedly postponed a decision on sanctions against Russia," RND writes.
It is noted that the new sanctions are aimed at combating the circumvention of existing restrictions. Thus, the EU plans to stop the use of Western technologies that Russia still uses to produce weapons for the war against Ukraine. In addition, the European Union wants to impose sanctions against liquefied natural gas for the first time. In particular, the European Commission wants to ban the use of European ports for the transport of Russian LNG to third countries. This will result in Russia selling less LNG due to lack of transport capacity and investing less money in the war.
According to EU diplomats, Germany's warning relates to plans to make it more difficult to circumvent EU sanctions. Berlin is calling for the removal of the provision on the liability of branches of companies that may violate sanctions.
"The reason is apparently the fear that German companies could be held liable for violating sanctions," the German newspaper explains.
As a reminder, on 12 June, the US Treasury Department announced sanctions against Russian liquefied natural gas projects that Russia is currently trying to implement.

quote:Russia Has Officially Declared US an Enemy State. What Does This Mean in Diplomatic Terms?
This marks the first official instance of the US being designated an “enemy” state by the Russian government. Why did this happen now and what are the consequences?
As global tensions over the war in Ukraine continue to mount, Russia-US relations have hit a new low. On June 11, Dmitry Peskov, Press Secretary to Vladimir Putin, declared the United States an “enemy country,” in an unprecedented and stark escalation from previous rhetoric.
“We are now an enemy country for them, just as they are for us,” Peskov stated during a press briefing.
The statement came after allegations from former American intelligence officer Scott Ritter, who claimed he was denied entry to St. Petersburg and had his passport confiscated by border officials.
Ritter has frequently been cited in Russian state media, echoing Moscow’s perspectives on the war in Ukraine.
Peskov’s response to reporters underscored that recent actions intended to obstruct Americans from engaging with Russia would be considered justifiable only if directly associated with Ritter’s past intelligence activities. Otherwise, Peskov suggested, such measures would be perceived as an effort to isolate Russia.
This may represent an escalation in rhetoric, as Moscow had previously referred to the US and its allies supporting Ukraine as “unfriendly states” or “opponents.” The shift in terminology is attributed to the ongoing war in Ukraine, particularly the latest permission to use US-supplied weaponry on Russian territory.

Ukraine is testing a ground-based drone that carries smoke mortars to create smoke barriers on the battlefield.
The National Information Portal “Tysch” published the pictures of the ground drone.
Ukrainian engineers have mounted a battery of 15 Tucha smoke grenade launchers on a remotely controlled tracked platform.
The AEK-902 Tucha is a Soviet system designed specifically for mounting on light armored vehicles and tanks.

Mogelijk bevoorradingsvliegtuigen, verkenningsvliegtuigen of zo iets. Geen F-35s. Tenminste niet de nabije toekomst. Al zijn de Amerikanen daar volgens mij ook niet zo blij mee op het ogenblik. Dus wie weet in de toekomst.quote:

Het gaat om fighter jet squadrons.
Dus het zou om F35's kunnen gaan. Maar ik denk eerder F15's en F18's. Die kunnen van autowegen opstijgen.

De Germanen houden dan ook de laatste EU-sancties tegen. Die willen zo graag tegen Rusland vechten dat ze Ukraine daarvoor opofferen. En voor hun industrie.quote:
