UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has called on the international community to increase pressure on Russia in the form of sanctions until the Kremlin withdraws its troops from Ukraine.

The statement is part of a statement addressed to the G-7 summit meeting in Germany on Thursday, which has been broadcast by CNN.

Meanwhile, Russia continues to pressure the West with the flow of gas to Europe.

This Friday, the state-owned Gazprom, which on Thursday announced that it will stop sending the fuel through a Polish gas pipeline, has reduced the amount of gas scheduled for today through one of the main branches that passes through Ukraine: it will send 60.8 million cubic meters by the Sudzha station, less than the planned 65.7 million.

This amount, however, is higher than that sent yesterday, Thursday, of 53.45 million cubic meters.

The Russian invasion has so far cost the Ukrainian government 8 billion euros, according to the Finance Ministry.

Above all, the war has made tax revenues up to 40% lower than expected, and kyiv is asking for more foreign aid to plug budget gaps.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that Finland's entry into the Alliance, promoted on Thursday by the country's president and prime minister and which Russia considers a "threat", can take place "easily and quickly". .

Ukraine denounces that Moscow sells stolen Ukrainian grain to the Syrian authorities

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dimitro Kuleba denounced on Thursday that a Russian ship carrying stolen Ukrainian grain docked off the Syrian coast on May 11 to sell the cargo to Syrian authorities.

“Russia has committed a triple crime: it bombed Syria, it temporarily occupied a part of Ukraine, and it is currently selling Ukrainian grain that it has stolen from Syria there.

I would like to remind everyone involved in this shady business that theft has never brought [anything] to anyone,” he said in a statement.

Thus, he has pointed out that "any person who participates in the sale, transport or purchase of stolen grain is an accomplice in this crime."

"Your conduct of his will have the appropriate legal consequences on a global scale," he added.

According to Ukraine, Moscow has seized between 400,000 and 500,000 tons of grain worth more than 100 million dollars —96 million euros— on ships leaving the ports of Sevastopol, as reported in a statement from the Foreign Ministry ukrainian

Russia cuts gas shipments to Europe through Ukraine

Russia's Gazprom – controlled by Moscow, which has a monopoly on gas pipelines and Russian gas sent to Europe – has announced that it will reduce supplies to Europe this Friday through the Sudzha station in Ukraine.

The shipment of gas will go from 65.7 million cubic meters to 60.8 million.

This amount, however, is higher than that sent yesterday, Thursday, of 53.45 million cubic meters. 

Ukraine on Wednesday stopped the flow of gas through a station in the eastern province of Lugansk in the Donbas region, now held by Moscow forces.

From the Sojranivka interconnection route and through the now compromised Novopskov compression point in Lugansk, about a third of Russian gas exports to Europe circulate through Ukraine.

The Operator of the Gas Transmission System of Ukraine (GTSOU, in its acronym in English) on Tuesday cited security reasons for taking the measure, and stated that Vladimir Putin's forces, who are fighting in the area on one of the most hot from the second phase of the war against Ukraine, had begun to divert gas and were interfering with the technical processes of this key infrastructure, putting the stability of the system at risk.

On Thursday, the Kremlin decided to cut off one of the key routes that supply gas to the European Union.

The state monopoly Gazprom announced that it will suspend supply along the entire Yamal-Europe gas pipeline because the owner of the Polish section, EuRoPol GAZ, was sanctioned by Moscow on Wednesday night, and the Government of Vladimir Putin demands that another company manage it.

A group of US senators will attend the NATO summit in Madrid

A group of Democratic and Republican senators from the United States will attend the NATO summit in Madrid at the end of June to demonstrate their support for the alliance.

This was stated by the Democratic and Republican leaders of the Upper House, Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell, in a statement released by the former's office.

The group will be led by progressive Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and conservative Thom Tillis of North Carolina.

Shaheen and Tillis co-chair the Senate Observer Group for NATO, which was created in 2018 and is made up of seven Democrats and seven Republicans.

Schumer stressed in the note that the Upper House of his country remains "steadfast" in its support for Ukraine and the allies' global response to hold Russian President Vladimir Putin accountable for his "unjustified and violent invasion of Ukraine."

McConnell stressed "the need" for NATO to remain "united and strong" to deter and defend against "serious threats" to collective security.

The summit comes at the height of the war in Ukraine and after Sweden and Finland have expressed interest in joining NATO, a move Russia sees as hostile.

The White House has expressed support for the inclusion of Sweden and Finland in the alliance, something that also has the support of Democrats and Republicans.

Finland took a historic step for its incorporation on Thursday, after the country's president, Sauli Ninistö, and the prime minister, Sanna Martin, decided to support accession after decades of "non-alignment".

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and threats from the Kremlin have caused a shift in Finland's position towards NATO.

It only remains for the rest of the coalition government and the Eduskunta (Parliament) to give their official support to formalize the application for admission, something that could happen in the coming days.

Sweden is expected to follow in Finland's footsteps later this month, and if the two join NATO, all Nordic countries would come under the umbrella of the Atlantic Alliance, of which Denmark, Norway and Iceland were founding members.

Among them, 101 hospitals.

Zelensky has also pointed out that Kremlin troops have fired missiles at schools in the Chernigov region.

"The Russian state is in such a condition that education only hinders it," criticized the leader. 

Zelensky also wanted to stress that "Russia's strategic defeat is obvious to everyone, but they lack the courage to admit it."

"Instead," he continued, "they are trying to hide the truth behind the missiles and air strikes."

"Our task is to fight until we achieve our goal in this war: liberate our land, our people and ensure our security," he concluded.

US says Moscow 'forcibly' displaced thousands of Ukrainians to Russia

The United States accused the Russian army on Thursday of having "forcibly" mobilized "several thousand" Ukrainians to Russia since the start of the war in late February.

kyiv presented the figure of almost 1.2 million Ukrainians deported by Moscow to Russia, and also denounced the existence of "filtration camps" in Russian-controlled territories in eastern Ukraine, through which these "deportees" pass.

"The United States estimates that Russian forces transferred at least several thousand Ukrainians into these 'seepage camps,' and evacuated at least several tens of thousands more to Russia without telling them their final destination," said Michael Carpenter, the US ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). 

The diplomat referred to testimonies about "brutal interrogations", including "torture", in these "filtration camps", aimed at identifying anyone with the "slightest loyalty to Ukraine".

There are "many accounts of cell phones being confiscated from detainees," including their passports, "passwords obtained under duress, social media and messaging systems scrutinized for any signs of opposition to Russia's barbaric war against Ukraine." 

"According to this information, those who are considered pro-Ukrainian are transferred to the so-called 'Donetsk People's Republic,'" controlled by pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine, "where they face a sinister fate," Carpenter said.

"These acts constitute war crimes. Russia is well aware" that such "forced displacement" is "contrary to international humanitarian law."

According to Lioudmila Denissova, a Ukrainian government official, "more than 1.19 million" Ukrainians, "including more than 200,000 children, were deported to the Russian Federation."

Reports the AFP agency.

A Republican senator threatens to delay the US economic aid package to Ukraine

The US Senate was preparing this Thursday to urgently approve the package of 40,000 million dollars of economic aid to Ukraine, with a closed agreement between the two major parties, the Republican and the Democrat.

However, Republican Senator Rand Paul, of the party's fiscal

hawk

wing , has threatened to delay the package's entry into force by demanding the appointment of an inspector to review how the money is spent.

"My commitment is to the Constitution," said Paul.

"We cannot save Ukraine by dooming the US economy." 

El problema es que incluir la petición de Paul retrasaría la entrada en vigor del paquete hasta la semana que viene, cosa que tanto demócratas como republicanos quieren evitar. El Gobierno de Joe Biden ha afirmado que el viernes 19 se le acabarán los fondos que puede usar en Ucrania. Y, en una rara demostración de unidad, tanto el líder demócrata en el Senado, Chuck Schumer, como el republicano, Mitch McConnell, han declarado juntos a favor de acelerar su aprobación. "El paquete está listo y la mayoría de senadores quiere que se apruebe", ha afirmado Schumer. "Ucrania no nos está pidiendo luchar esta guerra. Solo piden los recursos que necesitan para defenderse de esta invasión enloquecida. Y la necesitan ahora mismo", ha dicho McConnell. (Reuters)

EE UU vuelve a respaldar la incorporación de Finlandia y Suecia a la OTAN

Washington ya había respaldado la incorporación de Finlandia y Suecia a la OTAN, ofreciendo incluso garantías parciales de seguridad a ambos países durante el periodo de transición mientras se tramita su adhesión, pero hoy la Casa Blanca ha vuelto a hacerlo. "Apoyaremos una solicitud de Finlandia o Suecia en el caso de que la hagan", ha afirmado la portavoz de la presidencia, Jen Psaki. "Respetaremos la decisión que tomen".

Esta mañana, el presidente finlandés, Sauli Niinistö, y la primera ministra, Sanna Marin, presentaron conjuntamente una recomendación al Parlamento finlandés para que presentase su solicitud de incorporación a la OTAN "lo antes posible". Suecia, que coordina gran parte de su política de defensa con Finlandia, ya ha indicado en varias ocasiones que su decisión de adherirse a la Alianza dependerá en gran medida de lo que haga su país vecino.

El Parlamento alemán da luz verde a facilitar la expropiación de empresas energéticas

La cámara baja del Parlamento alemán (el Bundestag) ha aprobado este jueves la reforma de la Ley de Seguridad Energética que permite al Estado alemán expropiar empresas energéticas en caso de que la seguridad del suministro se vea amenazada. La ley también permite intervenir con más facilidad en caso de que haya cuellos de botella significativos en el suministro. La reforma de la ley, que data de 1975 (tras la primera crisis del petróleo) es parte de la respuesta del Gobierno alemán a la posibilidad real de sufrir un corte de suministro de hidrocarburos por parte de Rusia. La legislación también obliga a informar al Estado en caso de que se desee cerrar una instalación de almacenaje de gas.

La ley deja claro que la expropiación es el último recurso si no hubiera otra manera y (bajo presión de los liberales del FDP, parte de la coalición de Gobierno) una vez expropiadas las empresas deberán volver a ser privatizadas. Los partidos de la coalición (los socialdemócratas del SDP, los Verdes y el FDP) han votado a favor, así como Die Linke (extrema izquierda). Los cristianodemócratas se han abstenido y la ultraderechista Alternativa por Alemania ha votado en contra.

La ley reformada deberá ahora someterse al Bundesrat (la cámara alta) y entrar en vigor en junio. Su primera prueba puede no tardar: la refinería PCK, en Schwedt (en el estado de Brandeburgo, en la antigua Alemania del Este) es mayoritariamente propiedad de la rusa Rosneft, sancionada por la UE. Berlín ya tiene planes para el futuro de la planta, pero para ello ahora mismo Rosneft debe vender sus acciones.

Ucrania afirma haber incendiado un barco ruso en el mar Negro

La región militar de Odesa ha afirmado este jueves que sus fuerzas han dañado un barco logístico de la Armada rusa, el Vsevolod Dobrod, y lo han incendiado. En una publicación en internet, el portavoz de la región militar, Sergii Bratchuk, afirmó que el barco había sido atacado cerca de la isla de las Serpientes, al sur de Odesa y cerca de la frontera marítima rumana, donde en los últimos días fuerzas rusas y ucranias han intercambiado ataques.

El Vsevolod Dobrod es uno de los barcos más modernos de la flota rusa del mar Negro, en servicio en la zona desde principios de año. Si se confirma la información (que no ha podido ser comprobada de forma independiente), sería un nuevo golpe a la reputación de la Armada rusa, después del hundimiento del crucero Moskvá, el buque insignia de la Flota del mar Negro, hace un mes.

Ucrania ha gastado 8.000 millones de euros en la guerra desde la invasión

Ucrania ha gastado 245.100 millones de grivnas (8.000 millones de euros) en la guerra con Rusia desde la invasión del 24 de febrero, ha anunciado este jueves el ministro de Finanzas, Sergii Marchenko. La cifra, que no había sido revelada antes, pone al desnudo la tempestad económica a la que se enfrenta el país mientras sus soldados intentan contener la ofensiva rusa. 

El Gobierno solo ha logrado el 60% de su recaudación fiscal prevista para abril. Las ayudas internacionales han complementado esa cifra, pero únicamente hasta un 79,5% de lo esperado. Marchenko ha afirmado que Kiev necesita urgentemente un incremento de los fondos internacionales. En abril, la contribución internacional ha sumado 2.000 millones de dólares, de los que menos de la mitad (795 millones) ha sido en ayudas. "Si no tenemos en cuenta la ayuda extranjera, ahora estimamos que la recaudación en mayo y junio será de entre el 45% y el 50% de lo esperado, y eso si la situación no empeora", ha afirmado el ministro. 

Marchenko ha afirmado que Ucrania mantiene sus compromisos de seguir pagando los intereses de su deuda a pesar de la guerra. "Nuestra posición no ha cambiado", ha señalado. "El gasto en esto no es grande en comparación con las necesidades presupuestarias". (Reuters)

Suecia blinda la isla de Gotland mientras acelera el debate sobre el ingreso en la OTAN

La apacible vida de los habitantes de la isla de Gotland se ha visto alterada en los últimos meses. Por primera vez en muchos años, militares suecos han patrullado las calles o el puerto de Visby, su capital. En sus bosques, cientos de soldados entrenan desde hace semanas con ropa de camuflaje y munición real. Y en todas las casas se guarda un folleto distribuido por las autoridades que indica cómo actuar si estalla una guerra. Mientras reaparecen en Gotland los viejos fantasmas de la Guerra Fría, la clase política de Suecia debate contra el reloj sobre el posible ingreso del país escandinavo en la OTAN.

La posición estratégica de Gotland, en medio del mar Báltico, la ha convertido durante siglos en un territorio codiciado por otros Estados de la región. Su historia está plagada de invasiones repelidas por Suecia. La última, en 1808, cuando las tropas del zar Alejandro I de Rusia ocuparon la isla durante 26 días hasta que fueron derrotadas. Sin embargo, tras la caída del muro de Berlín, Estocolmo comenzó a reducir su inversión en defensa y a disolver regimientos. En 2005, abandonaron Gotland los últimos militares que quedaban; el talón de Aquiles del país nórdico quedó desmilitarizado. Por Carlos Torralba, Visby (Suecia).

Unicef pide que cesen los bombardeos de centros educativos en Ucrania

La Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Infancia (Unicef), ha denunciado este jueves que los centros educativos en Ucrania están siendo utilizados para fines militares y bombardeados, y ha pedido poner fin a ambas prácticas en una reunión del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU convocada a petición de Francia y México. 

"Los ataques deben cesar", ha afirmado Omar Abdi, director ejecutivo adjunto de Unicef. "Solo hasta la semana pasada, al menos 15 de las 89 escuelas apoyadas por la organización en el este de Ucrania han quedado dañadas o destruidas desde el inicio de la invasión: eso es una de cada seis. Hay cientos de escuelas a lo largo y ancho del país afectadas por artillería pesada, ataques aéreos y de otras armas explosivas en zonas pobladas. Mientras, otras escuelas son usadas como centros de información, refugios, centros de avituallamiento o con fines militares, algo que tiene un impacto a largo plazo sobre el regreso de los niños a la escuela". 

Rusia ha calificado de "absurdas" las acusaciones de ataques contra centros educativos y su embajador, Vasili Nebenzia, ha lanzado una diatriba contra la educación en Ucrania, afirmando que tiene un sesgo antirruso. Mientras, el embajador ucranio, Sergii Kislitsia, ha vuelto a acusar a Moscú de secuestrar a niños ucranios para ser adoptados por ciudadanos rusos. (Reuters)

Qué ha pasado en las últimas horas en Ucrania

En el 78º día de la guerra iniciada por Rusia contra Ucrania, estos son los datos clave a las 20.00 de este jueves 12 de mayo:

  • Rusia corta el envío de gas a la UE a través de territorio polaco. Un nuevo cuello de botella en el envío de gas ruso a Europa. El monopolio estatal Gazprom ha anunciado que cerrará uno de los mayores gasoductos del continente, el canal Yamal-Europa, porque su operador polaco ha sido sancionado por el Kremlin. A este corte se suma la interrupción esta misma semana del bombeo a otro gasoducto que discurre por Ucrania rumbo al bloque comunitario.
  • Más de seis millones de refugiados han huido de Ucrania, según la ONU. ACNUR, la agencia de la ONU para los refugiados, ha elevado este jueves a más de seis millones de personas el número de refugiados que han huido de Ucrania desde que comenzó la ofensiva de Rusia, hace ya 78 días. Según Naciones Unidas, 6.009.096 personas han abandonado el país europeo desde el inicio del conflicto bélico.

  • Putin asegura que Rusia resiste a las sanciones. El presidente de Rusia, Vladímir Putin, ha culpado este jueves a Occidente de haber creado una crisis mundial a través de las sanciones impuestas al país por su intervención militar en Ucrania y ha asegurado que la Federación Rusa resiste a este golpe como ya hizo en la II Guerra Mundial. "Estas sanciones están provocando en gran medida la crisis global. Sus autores, guiados por ambiciones políticas miopes e infladas, por la rusofobia, perjudican en mayor medida sus propios intereses nacionales, sus propias economías, el bienestar de sus ciudadanos", ha dicho Putin en una reunión telemática con miembros del Gobierno.

  • La "gran mayoría" de la población finlandesa, a favor de entrar en la OTAN. El ministro de Exteriores de Finlandia, Pekka Haavisto, ha confirmado este jueves en una rueda de prensa que el próximo lunes comenzará en el país nórdico el debate parlamentario sobre la adhesión a la OTAN. El político finlandés también ha descartado la opción de que se celebre un referéndum: “Las últimas encuestas reflejan de manera indiscutible que la gran mayoría de la población está a favor de la adhesión”

  • Ucrania negocia sacar a 38 heridos muy graves de Azovstal. El Gobierno ucranio está llevando a cabo negociaciones "muy difíciles" para sacar de la planta siderúrgica Azovstal, en Mariupol (al sudeste del país) a 38 heridos "postrados y muy graves", según ha anunciado la vice primera ministra Irina Vereshchuk a través de su cuenta de Telegram.

Zelenski premia la labor de las enfermeras ucranias 

El presidente ucranio, Volodímir Zelenski, ha premiado este jueves la labor de las enfermeras ucranias "que han ayudado desinteresadamente a la gente". "Desde el primer día de la guerra, las enfermeras han estado trabajando en condiciones extremadamente difíciles. Bajo bombardeos, en sótanos y refugios antiaéreos. Poniendo en riesgo su propia vida todos los días, salvan la de los demás", ha escrito el presidente en su cuenta de Telegram. Entre las enfermeras que han asistido al acto se encontraba Oksana Balandina, la joven de 23 años que perdió ambas piernas por la explosión de una mina.

Ucrania negocia sacar a 38 heridos muy graves de Azovstal

El Gobierno ucranio está llevando a cabo negociaciones "muy difíciles" para sacar de la planta siderúrgica Azovstal, en Mariupol (al sudeste del país) a 38 heridos "postrados y muy graves", según ha anunciado la vice primera ministra Irina Vereshchuk a través de su cuenta de Telegram.

"Estamos trabajando paso a paso", ha indicado Vereshchuk, que ha reprochado los comentarios "de algunos políticos, periodistas y figuras públicas" que han barajado que Kiev podría estar hablando con Moscú de la posibilidad de sacar entre 500 y 600 prisioneros de la planta.

"I beg you. These are human lives. Do not comment on what you do not know. If everything goes well and we manage to get people out, then do what you want," the deputy prime minister asked.

"I ask everyone to work seriously, and not get bogged down in discussions and statements that are unrealistic. Only realism and sobriety in thoughts and actions will give us results."
