Austria summons the Russian ambassador for writing in a tweet: "No mercy for the Ukrainian people"
The Austrian government has announced that it will summon the Russian ambassador to the country, Mikhail Ulianov, for a controversial message on Twitter in which he wrote: "No mercy for the Ukrainian people", before clarifying that he was actually accusing the authorities of Ukraine to reject any diplomatic effort to end the war.
Ulianov reacted on Twitter to a news about the new military aid package announced yesterday by the United States with the aforementioned message.
The ambassador, also a representative of his country before international institutions in Vienna, such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), shortly after deleted the tweet and assured that his intention was to accuse kyiv of ignoring the population and
Ulianov's arguments have not convinced the Austrian authorities.
"We are outraged by the inhumane statements by the Permanent Representative of Russia and by his attempts to put into perspective what cannot be put into perspective," an Austrian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said in a written statement.
"Although the Ministry defends freedom of expression, it is also free to resolutely oppose such incendiary statements," added the spokeswoman before confirming that the ambassador will be summoned this Sunday.

Six months later, Ukraine changes its strategy to try to break Russia
To a historian like Michel Goya, the war in Ukraine reminds him of the immovable trenches of the First World War.
This retired colonel of the French Army, a researcher at the Foundation for Strategic Research, indicates in an essay published this summer that the conflict, which is now active for half a year, is stalled on a 1,300-kilometer front that barely moves.
Goya continues that to get out of the current blockade "there is no other solution than to break the balance with the massive incorporation of new resources, and with innovation".
To try to unbalance the balance, kyiv wants to go from a defensive position to bet everything on the confrontation with the invader.

Russia accuses Ukraine of poisoning some of its soldiers in Zaporizhia
The Russian Defense Ministry has accused Ukraine of poisoning some of its military in the Russian-controlled part of Zaporizhia province in late July.
Several Moscow soldiers were taken to a military hospital with signs of severe poisoning on July 31.
In response, an adviser to the Ukrainian Interior Ministry has said that the suspected poisoning could have been caused by eating expired canned meat.
The tests that were carried out on those affected show the presence in their bodies of a toxic substance, botulinum toxin type B. "Russia is preparing supporting evidence with the results of all the analyses," the Russian ministry has reported, which has not clarified how many soldiers have allegedly been poisoned or what their current status is.
Botulinum toxin type B is a neurotoxin that can cause botulism (difficulty breathing, muscle paralysis, and even death) when ingested in previously contaminated food products, but it can also have medical uses.
The advisor to the Ukrainian Ministry of the Interior, Anton Gerashchenko, has commented that "the Russian department has not clarified whether the poisoning could have been caused by expired canned meat, in which botulinum toxin is often also found. The occupation forces are have massively complained about having to eat expired rations since the first days of the invasion of Ukraine," he said.

China increases purchase of Russian fuel
The Asian country has increased imports of Russian fossil fuels in recent months, according to official data, which show the scant impact that the war in Ukraine has had on the Asian giant's energy policy.
The Chinese Customs Office confirmed this Saturday that Russia is, for the third consecutive month, the main supplier of oil.
In July, China purchased 7.15 million tons of crude oil, 7.6% more than in the same period a year ago.
Coal imports soared 14%, to 7.42 million tons, and are now at unprecedented levels in more than five years, according to data collected by the Bloomberg news agency.
The data contrasts with the political interest of the European Union to reduce energy dependence on Russia, in retaliation for the military offensive launched in February on Ukraine and in fear of cuts in the coming months.
China, on the other hand, has taken advantage of the occasion to increase imports from the neighboring country, after it has not condemned the Russian invasion.

Zelenski asegura que la mejora en la seguridad nuclear en Zaporiyia comienza con la misión de la OIEA
El presidente de Ucrania, Volodímir Zelenski, ha asegurado este viernes que el restablecimiento de la seguridad en la central nuclear de Zaporiyia puede comenzar con la misión del Organismo Internacional de Energía Atómica (OIEA). "Diplomáticos ucranianos, nuestros socios, representantes de la ONU y del OIEA están trabajando en los detalles específicos de la misión que se enviará a la central nuclear de Zaporiyia", ha explicado Zelenski antes de añadir que "con esta misión, puede comenzar el restablecimiento de la seguridad total".
En este sentido, el mandatario ucraniano ha afirmado que, "si continúa el chantaje ruso con la radiación, este verano puede pasar a la historia de varios países europeos como uno de los más trágicos de todos los tiempos". Asimismo, Zelenski ha criticado "otro aspecto del chantaje ruso en el campo de la energía" al mencionar los cierres de los gaseoductos. "Los suministros de gas a Alemania a través del Nord Stream 1 se están restringiendo nuevamente y se vuelven a hacer afirmaciones absurdas de que es posible compensar algo a través del Nord Stream 2", ha expresado. Según el dirigente, Rusia necesita estos "flujos exclusivamente para abastecer problemas a Europa", no para suministrar gas. (EP)

El campo ucranio sigue herido
El sector agrícola en Ucrania aún teme a la guerra. El director de operaciones de Agrio-Region, Volodímir Kravtsov, de 42 años, pide antes de nada que, a petición de los servicios de seguridad, no se localicen en este artículo sus campos de cultivo. Así sea; baste con decir que están en algún pedazo de tierra de la gran región de Kiev. “En Ucrania”, explica Kravtsov, “han disparado con misiles de alta precisión a los elevadores”. Para los poco duchos en la materia, estos elevadores son la joya más mimada de una producción agrícola. Hasta allí llega el grano, se pesa, limpia, seca y conserva antes de salir hacia el comprador. Pero he aquí, en esta salida, la herida más profunda que la campaña militar rusa ha abierto al campo. El bloqueo de los puertos del suroeste, que dan salida al mar Negro, paralizaron el transporte del grano ucranio, principal partida de las exportaciones del país. El desbloqueo ahora gracias al acuerdo alcanzado en julio por separado entre Ucrania y Rusia con la medidación de Turquía parecía despejar el camino, pero solo para unos pocos. “Nosotros no podemos financiar ahora el transporte por Odesa”, explica Kravtsov, “solo lo pueden hacer los grandes propietarios de las terminales portuarias que construyeron para servir a sus empresas”.

Ampliación | Putin acepta una misión internacional para inspeccionar la central nuclear de Zaporiyia
Por Marc Bassets, desde París, y Javier G. Cuesta, desde Moscú. Es uno de los lugares más peligrosos hoy, no solo de la guerra de Ucrania, sino del planeta. La central nuclear de Zaporiyia, en territorio ucranio, pero ocupada por tropas rusas, ha sido escenario de intercambios de fuego entre ambos ejércitos y un misil mal dirigido (o apuntado con intención) podría causar una catástrofe de efectos incalculables. El presidente ruso, Vladímir Putin, aceptó este viernes, durante una conversación con su homólogo francés, Emmanuel Macron, que expertos del Organismo Internacional de la Energía Atómica (OIEA) visiten “cuanto antes” la central ucrania, según un comunicado del palacio del Elíseo.

Rusia puede haber perdido la mitad de su aviación naval en Crimea, según una estimación. Las explosiones del pasado día 9 en la base aérea rusa de Saky, en la península de Crimea, pueden haber puesto "fuera de servicio" a más de la mitad de la flota de cazas de combate de la Armada rusa en el mar Negro, según ha estimado Reuters este viernes citando a un funcionario de alto nivel de un país occidental. Rusia ha negado que las explosiones (que responsabiliza a un "accidente") hayan causado algún daño a sus fuerzas aéreas. Imágenes obtenidas por satélites comerciales muestran varios cráteres en las pistas del aeródromo y al menos ocho aviones de guerra carbonizados.

The official has told Reuters that at least some of these attacks are the responsibility of Ukraine, noting that they are damaging Russian forces and causing "significant" psychological effects among the Russian military command.
