ANÁLISIS | La contraofensiva ucraniana ha sido brutal y lenta. Pero a Kyiv le quedan muchas cartas por jugar

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:09:04 GMT

(CNN) — Las imágenes son granuladas e inquietantes. Un soldado ucraniano del 73º Centro Naval de Operaciones Especiales se abre paso a través de una trinchera, aparentemente en el frente sur, disparando repetidamente a quemarropa a soldados rusos. El polvo levantado aumenta la sensación de caos, y el denso pánico y la brutalidad del comienzo de esta contraofensiva.Nunca iba a ser sencillo, y siempre iba a implicar el tipo de espantoso combate cara a cara que se muestra en el video de las fuerzas especiales. Pero el éxito de la ofensiva ucraniana sigue dependiendo de si puede sorprender y burlar a las fuerzas de Moscú, no en un combate cuerpo a cuerpo, sino a un nivel estratégico más amplio. Y probablemente sea por eso por lo que estamos asistiendo a un comienzo lento —y a veces gradual— de esta primera fase de operaciones abiertas.Durante meses hemos asistido a un paciente intento de Ucrania de erosionar la preparación de las defensas rusas. El lento goteo de explosiones en de...

EU countries agree on sanctions package to target Russia’s helpers

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:09:04 GMT

EU ambassadors Wednesday agreed on an 11th sanctions package against Russia, the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the EU said, making it possible for the first time to punish third countries that help Moscow evade trade restrictions. After adopting 10 sanctions packages following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February of last year, the EU has now designed a new mechanism: If third countries, for example in Central Asia, fail to comply with Western sanctions or can’t explain a sudden rise in trade in banned goods, they could face EU punishment.EU countries have been wrangling over the package since mid-May and the row had threatened to overshadow a leaders’ summit next week. Several countries, including heavy-hitter Germany, had fretted that such a mechanism would hurt diplomatic relations, and even drive countries into the arms of Russia and China.In various versions of the text seen by POLITICO, the European Commission had included m...

France disbands climate movement over ‘eco-terrorism’ allegations

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:09:04 GMT

The French government on Wednesday delegalized a movement of climate activists following violent clashes with police that left hundreds injured. “No cause can justify the especially numerous and violent acts called for and provoked by this grouping,” said Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin. A day earlier, French police arrested 18 members of Les Soulèvements de la Terre (Earth Uprising) across the country.The group, which has no clear leadership structure, vowed to battle the decision in court. It was set up in 2021 and counts more than 115,000 supporters, some of whom take radical action to raise awareness about climate change and environmental protection, targeting projects such as reservoirs, highways, and industrial agriculture.Last weekend, it tried to block the construction of the Lyon-Turin railway tunnel — with a dozen police officers injured in clashes. In June, it demonstrated against sand mines; in May against a motorway interchange near Rouen that would destroy a forest; ...

TURMUS AYYA, West Bank (AP) — Hundreds of Israeli settlers on Wednesday stormed into a Palestinian town in the occupied West Bank, setting fire to dozens of cars and homes to avenge the deaths of four Israelis killed by a pair of Palestinian gunmen the previous day, residents said.
