Ukraine agrees with Poland to relax border controls to increase cereal exports
Poland will ease veterinary checks and add inspection personnel at its border with Ukraine in an effort to increase the volume of Ukrainian grain exports through its territory, according to an agreement reached between the two countries reported by the Ukrainian Ministry of Agriculture.
With Ukrainian ports blocked or in Russian hands, Ukraine, the world's largest producer of cereals and one of the largest exporters, is forced to export the grain through trains, with less capacity, through its western border or through small ports. of the Danube.
However, customs officials complain that border procedures and poor Polish staff limit Ukraine's export capacity.
"The new measures will significantly ease the border crossing of our cereals and increase our export volumes, which is the Minister's priority," Ukrainian Agriculture Minister Mykola Solskiy said in a statement.
Ukraine's grain exports have been greatly reduced by the Russian invasion, due to the closure of ports and the difficulties in the field for harvest work.
In the first 10 days of May, exports have halved compared to the same days last year, from 667,000 tons to about 300,000.
Ukraine had been exporting about 6 million tons of cereal per month before the Russian invasion.
In April, 3.5 million tons left by train across the borders of western Ukraine.

La primera ministra sueca, la socialdemócrata Magdalena Andersson, y el líder de la oposición, el conservador Ulf Kristersson, han anunciado formalmente este lunes que el país solicitará el ingreso en la OTAN. “Hay una clara mayoría parlamentaria que respalda el ingreso”, han asegurado.

"No nos lo esperábamos, tampoco", ha reconocido. "Todo el mundo sabía que el tema no estaba maduro. Pero queríamos tener una discusión sobre los temas técnicos y económicos".
- Putin advierte de que responderá si la OTAN refuerza militarmente a Suecia y Finlandia. El presidente ruso, Vladímir Putin, ha asegurado que el Kremlin “no tiene ningún problema con el posible ingreso de Finlandia y Suecia en la OTAN” porque “no supone una amenaza para Moscú”. El mandatario ha valorado el anuncio de Helsinki y Estocolmo en el arranque del encuentro de la Organización del Tratado de Seguridad Colectiva (CSTO, por sus siglas en inglés). No obstante, Putin ha lanzado una advertencia: “Una ampliación de la infraestructura militar a los territorios que serán incluidos en la OTAN provocará una respuesta de Rusia”.

La exitosa apertura del primer McDonald’s ruso en la plaza Pushkin de Moscú a finales de enero de 1990 fue todo un símbolo de la perestroika.

Ahora, más de 32 años después, la compañía estadounidense ha anunciado que deja el país. También acaba una era.

La UE sigue sin llegar a un acuerdo para un nuevo paquete de sanciones por el bloqueo de Hungría
La Unión Europea sigue sin llegar a un acuerdo para un nuevo paquete de sanciones contra Rusia por la falta de apoyo de Hungría a un embargo petrolero, ha informado este lunes el alto representante de la Unión Europea para la Política Exterior, Josep Borrell, tras una reunión con los responsables de Exteriores de los Veintisiete. "No nos lo esperábamos, tampoco", ha reconocido. "Todo el mundo sabía que el tema no estaba maduro. Pero queríamos tener una discusión sobre los temas técnicos y económicos.
El debate sobre las sanciones vuelve ahora al nivel técnico y diplomático, en el Consejo de los Representantes Permanentes (Coreper). Sin embargo, Borrell ha afirmado que, en lo que al embargo petrolero se refiere, no ha sido una reunión del todo perdida. "La discusión de hoy ha servido para aclarar las cosas", ha indicado. "Hungría no nos ha explicado su posición en términos políticos, sino en económicos. Nos han expresado sus necesidades para adaptar su industria, su estructura de refinerías y oleoductos, tanto en tiempo como en dinero". Y ha desarrollado: "Está la adaptación de las infraestructuras, que se paga de una sentada, pero luego está el problema estructural de que el petróleo ruso es más barato que otros".
Ante los avisos del primer ministro húngaro, Viktor Orbán, de que las sanciones a Rusia dañan la economía europea, Borrell ha reconocido que "las sanciones cuestan, eso no lo descubrimos hoy". "Dañan al sancionado y, colateralmente, a quien sanciona. Todos estamos haciendo cálculos, pero todo el Consejo tiene claro que hay que acabar con la dependencia energética con Rusia, que nos hace muy vulnerables".
Para lo que sí hay acuerdo es para una contribución adicional de 500 millones de euros de los Veintisiete al Fondo de Defensa Europeo para que Ucrania pueda comprar armamento, por lo que la cifra se eleva hasta los 2.000 millones.

Turquía asegura que no aprobará la adhesión de Finlandia y Suecia a la OTAN
El presidente de Turquía, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, ha reiterado este lunes que su país no apoyará la entrada en la OTAN de Finlandia y Suecia. El líder turco ha pedido a las delegaciones de ambos países que no se molesten en viajar a Turquía para tratar de hacerle cambiar de opinión, según recoge Reuters. La membresía de la OTAN requiere la ratificación de todos los miembros existentes.
El mandatario islamista ha justificado estos días su oposición en que estos países “se han convertido en hospedaje de terroristas”, en particular de organizaciones armadas como el Partido de los Trabajadores del Kurdistán (PKK) o el Partido-Frente Revolucionario de Liberación del Pueblo (DHKP-C). Tradicionalmente, los países escandinavos han sido refugio para numerosos activistas y políticos de Turquía —pro-kurdos, izquierdistas o islamistas— que huían de la represión en su país, tanto aquellos que optaban por vías pacíficas como aquellos más o menos cercanos a estos grupos armados proscritos por la legislación antiterrorista de la Unión Europea y que aún cometen atentados en suelo turco.

El ministro de Asuntos Exteriores español, José Manuel Albares, ha valorado la solicitud de entrada en la OTAN de Finlandia y Suecia desde Bruselas, donde participa en el Consejo de Exteriores de la UE. "El ingreso de Finlandia y Suecia, dos democracias consolidadas, reforzará a la OTAN, que es una alianza de democracias que comparten valores, principios y objetivos y que es el fundamento de un orden internacional basado en normas. Si algo ha conseguido Putin con esta agresión es que los socios europeos estemos cada vez más unidos", ha valorado.
Albares ha explicado que su homólogo ucranio, Dmitro Kuleba, ha vuelto a solicitar el respaldo de los países de la UE. "El ministro Kuleba ha vuelto a solicitar nuestro apoyo. España le ha trasladado el apoyo que venimos dándole tanto a nivel humanitario como a través de las sanciones", ha dicho.

Ampliación | Putin afirma que la entrada de Finlandia y Suecia en la OTAN no supone una “amenaza inmediata” para Rusia
Por Javier G. Cuesta, desde Moscú. El presidente ruso, Vladímir Putin, ha asegurado este lunes que la adhesión a la OTAN de los países nórdicos no supondría un “problema” ni una “amenaza inmediata” para Moscú si no implica el despliegue allí de bases militares y misiles. “En cuanto a los [potenciales] nuevos miembros de la Alianza Atlántica, Finlandia y Suecia, me gustaría informarles de que Rusia no tiene problemas con esos Estados y, por lo tanto, la ampliación a esos países no genera una amenaza inmediata para Rusia”, ha señalado el mandatario en el encuentro en el Kremlin de la Organización del Tratado de Seguridad Colectiva (OTSC), la alianza militar de varias exrepúblicas soviéticas que lidera Moscú.
Putin ha relativizado esta previsible ampliación de la OTAN, pese a que antes de la invasión exigía para retirar sus tropas de la frontera de Ucrania la expulsión de la Alianza de todos los socios bálticos y de Europa del Este. En cualquier caso, ha lanzado una advertencia: “La expansión de la infraestructura militar ―un eufemismo de misiles y bases― a ese territorio provocará una respuesta nuestra. Esta irá en función de las amenazas creadas contra nosotros”.

Se dispara el precio del trigo tras la decisión india de suspender sus exportaciones
La cotización del trigo, disparada desde la guerra en Ucrania, ha vuelto a batir un récord este lunes en el mercado europeo, tras el anuncio de India de suspender sus exportaciones de este cereal. La tonelada de trigo para panificación ha llegado a 435 euros en la apertura del Euronext, máximo para este grano que se negocia ya a precio de oro en el mercado mundial.
India, segundo mayor productor mundial de trigo, ha prohibido el sábado la exportación del grano, a no ser que la operación cuente con una autorización especial del Gobierno. La decisión ha sido adoptada en pleno retroceso de la producción debido a olas extremas de calor. Nueva Delhi, que se había comprometido previamente a suministrar este cereal a los países dependientes de las exportaciones ucranias, ha alegado que vela por la "seguridad alimentaria" de sus 1.400 millones de habitantes.
Este sábado, los ministros de Agricultura del G-7 han asegurado que la suspensión de las exportaciones de trigo de India "agravará la crisis" de aprovisionamiento mundial de cereales provocada por la guerra de Ucrania. Ahora, "los mercados reaccionan con más fuerza pues el embargo de India a sus exportaciones de trigo contradice sus promesas previas sobre el suministro mundial", ha dicho Gautier Le Molgat, analista del gabinete Agritel.

Tribuna | Tras la invasión de Ucrania, Europa en el interregno
Las noticias que aparecen en nuestras pantallas nos muestran imágenes monstruosas y extrañamente familiares. Hace un mes, un gato sucio merodeaba por las calles del cementerio a cielo abierto en que se ha convertido Bucha, en Ucrania. Hace tres meses, el patriarca de Moscú y de todas las Rusias exhortó a una potencia nuclear a emprender una guerra santa; no hay perdón para quienes organizan desfiles del orgullo gay. Hace diez meses, unos cuerpos aferrados a un avión que despegaba se estrellaron en la pista del aeropuerto de Kabul. Hace dos años, en el peor momento de la pandemia, el presidente de Estados Unidos anunció que la Bolsa acababa de alcanzar su máximo histórico. Esta semana, hay temperaturas de más de 50 grados centígrados en Pakistán. Por Gilles Gressani y Mathéo Malik.
