The Government of Belarus has placed its troops in "anti-terrorist regime", a kind of alert state that gives security forces broad powers to take measures to prevent or respond to "provocations from neighboring countries", according to the minister of Foreign Affairs of the country, Vladimir Makei, in an interview with the Russian newspaper
Izvestia
Posted this Friday.
This week, the Belarusian regime, one of the few allies of Moscow, has taken measures, such as this or the creation of a joint military action group with the Russian Army, which make the West fear that it is directly involved in the war.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recorded 620 attacks on health centers since the beginning of the conflict.
The organization's regional director for Europe, Hans Kluge, has also warned of a possible increase in people fleeing before the arrival of winter and the escalation of the conflict.
The head of the WHO puts at 2-3 million Ukrainians who could leave their homes inside the country in the coming weeks.
The interior ministers of the European Union discussed this Friday at a meeting in Luxembourg the situation of Ukrainian refugees in member countries.
Meanwhile, the International Committee of the Red Cross has stressed that it "understands the frustration" of kyiv for its lack of access to prisoners of war, but has indicated that "it cannot enter by force" in prisons such as the one in Olenivka, where he believes there are numerous captive Ukrainian soldiers.

Red Cross responds to Zelensky that he cannot enter "by force" in the Olenivka prison
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) stressed today that it "understands the frustration" of kyiv for its lack of access to prisoners of war, but pointed out that "it cannot enter by force" in prisons such as the one in Olenivka, where he believes there are numerous Ukrainian soldiers being held captive by the Russian occupiers.
“Our teams have to move in conditions of relative safety;
Of course, there are always risks in our work but we have to make sure that our staff are not going to be shot at or landed on,” ICRC spokesman Ewan Watson told a news conference.
“We share the frustration about our lack of access to prisoners of war in the conflict, and we have been working since February to obtain it,” said Watson, who said that the ICRC has been able to visit “hundreds” of Russian and Ukrainian captives, but “ There are thousands more to see."
"Our teams have been prepared on the ground for months to visit Olenivka and other locations, but access has not been guaranteed," he insisted.
Watson thus responded to the Ukrainian government, which demanded that the ICRC send a mission - with Russian permission or not - to the Olenivka prison, in the east of the country, where more than 50 Ukrainian soldiers died in an explosion in mid-July according to Kyiv.
Russia and Ukraine blamed each other for the bombing that killed the prisoners.
The spokesman, who said he was unaware of the conditions in which the Olenivka prisoners are currently held, reminded the Russian and Ukrainian sides that "the third Geneva Convention obliges the parties to a conflict to give immediate access to all prisoners of war wherever they are”.
“It is a legal obligation and helps preserve humanity in an armed conflict like the current one, which has caused huge losses to countless families,” he said.
The ICRC's work in the conflict has even been criticized by the Ukrainian president, Volodimir Zelenski, who on his official website assured that the hundred-year-old organization "is not a privileged club where they get paid and enjoy life", since "it has obligations, mainly of a moral nature.

What has happened in the last hours
On the 233rd day of the war initiated by Russia against Ukraine, these are the key data at 12:00 noon this Friday, October 14:
Belarus raises the alert level of its security forces in the face of alleged "provocations" from neighboring countries
.
The Government of Belarus has placed its troops in an "anti-terrorist regime", a kind of alert state that gives the security forces wide powers, in the face of "reports that some neighboring countries are planning provocations or even the taking of certain parts of the Belarusian territory”, explains the country’s Foreign Minister, Vladimir Makei, in an interview with the Russian newspaper Izvestia published this Friday.
The privileges include arbitrary arrests, the interception of communications or movement restrictions.
The regime of the Belarusian dictator Lukashenko is one of the few faithful allies of the Kremlin.
In the last week, he has taken some steps that make the West fear that Belarus will be directly involved in the war in Ukraine.
The WHO puts the number of attacks on health centers in Ukraine at 620 since the beginning of the conflict
.
The WHO regional director for Europe, Hans Kluge, has reported that since the beginning of the Russian investment in Ukraine on February 24, 620 attacks on health facilities have been recorded.
He has requested the organization's access to areas occupied by Russian forces and has warned that "the arrival of winter and the escalation of the conflict may lead to a significant increase in internally displaced persons."
He estimates that 2-3 million people could leave their homes, in addition to an exodus across borders with increased stress on the health systems of both Ukraine and nearby countries.
Russian troops advance towards the center of the key city of Bakhmut in Donbas
.
Russian troops are advancing slowly in the center of the eastern Donbas region, made up of Donetsk or Luhansk provinces, as the Ukrainian counteroffensive gains ground on the northern and southern flanks, according to the UK Ministry of Defense.
Kremlin forces aim to seize the city of Bakhmut as a first step towards the key towns of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, according to the latest British intelligence report issued on Friday.
Zelensky accuses the Red Cross of failing to defend Ukrainian prisoners of war
.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused the International Committee of the Red Cross of failing to uphold the rights of Ukrainian prisoners of war.
In the latest in a series of criticisms of the Red Cross, Zelensky has said that "the concentration camp" of Olenivka, in eastern Ukraine, has not yet been visited by the organization.
There, dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed in an explosion in July.
The country's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, has given an ultimatum to the humanitarian organization to start a mission in the next three days or, he has assured, the kyiv authorities would do it themselves.
Musk asks the Pentagon to pay for the satellite service he donated to Ukraine to provide internet coverage
.
SpaceX billionaire founder Elon Musk has asked the US Department of Defense to bear the cost of supplying communications satellites to Ukraine, something the company has so far been funding.
The American channel CNN has revealed that SpaceX has informed the Pentagon that it cannot pay indefinitely for a service that costs it, he says, 20 million dollars a month.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Musk has been sending terminals of his SpaceX Starlink satellite connection service to try to alleviate internet service interruptions in Ukraine caused by the bombing.

WHO estimates 620 attacks on health centers in Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict
The regional director of the World Health Organization (WHO) for Europe, Hans Kluge, reiterated this Friday that his organization's commitment to kyiv remains strong.
“The escalation of the humanitarian emergency requires an escalation of the humanitarian response.
The WHO will continue to support Ukraine”, he announced in an appearance to report on the health impact of the escalation of the conflict.
Kluge has recorded some 620 attacks on health centers since the beginning of the conflict, on February 24, and has requested the organization's access to areas occupied by Russian forces, such as Mariupol (in the south) and the eastern region of Donbas.
Another priority is to prepare to protect the population before the arrival of winter.
"The destruction of homes and the lack of access to fuel and electricity due to damage to infrastructure could become a matter of life or death if the population cannot heat their homes," said the WHO regional official.
The Ukrainian government estimates that around 800,000 houses have been destroyed or damaged in the fighting and that thousands of people are exposed to harsh winter temperatures.
"The arrival of winter and the escalation of the conflict can lead to a significant increase in internally displaced persons," warned Kluge, who estimates that 2-3 million people could leave their homes within the country, in addition to an exodus beyond of the borders with an increase in the tension in the health systems both in Ukraine and in neighboring countries.
Kluge recalled that, according to the latest World Bank estimates, the conflict could condemn 60% of the Ukrainian population to living below the poverty line, a percentage that could be even higher, according to the United Nations.

Russia plans to finish the repair of the Crimean bridge in July 2023
The works to repair the Crimean bridge, partially destroyed by an explosion last weekend, will end in July next year, according to estimates published this Friday on the Russian government's website.
The Kerch Strait Bridge, the only one linking Russia and Crimea, is a key infrastructure in supplying resources for the peninsula illegally annexed by Moscow in 2014 and for the invader's war machine.
Russian authorities in Crimea accuse kyiv of being behind a truck bomb attack.
The Ukrainian government does not confirm the authorship of the action.
The bridge was inaugurated in 2018 by Russian President Vladimir Putin as a symbol of the annexation of the peninsula and the occupation of Ukraine by Kremlin forces.

Belarus raises the alert level of its security forces in the face of alleged "provocations" from neighboring countries
The Government of Belarus has put its troops in "anti-terrorist regime", a kind of alert state that gives security forces broad powers to take measures to prevent or respond to provocations from neighboring countries, according to the foreign minister. of the country, Vladimir Makei, in an interview with the Russian daily Izvestia published this Friday.
"The country's leader [Alexander Lukashenko] has held a series of meetings with law enforcement and an 'anti-terrorist operation regime' has been put in place," Makei says in the interview.
The head of Belarusian diplomacy justifies the measure in that "there is information that some neighboring countries [in clear reference to Ukraine] are planning provocations or even the seizure of certain parts of Belarusian territory."
He adds that "naturally, in the current situation no such signal can go unreacted."
The anti-terrorist regime gives the security forces wide prerogatives, including detention to verify the identity of people, limiting movements, listening or controlling communications.
The Belarusian opponent Franak Viačorka, in a Twitter thread, points out that it is not about facing any external enemy, but about a "war against the Belarusian people" and lists some of the measures that may be taken within the framework of the "regime antiterrorist”, such as political purges or arbitrary detentions.
He does not explain which countries or which parts of the territory are threatened, although he does comment that in his opinion, the recent offer by Polish President Andrezj Duda to host US nuclear weapons on the territory of his country "is not just words."
“There is a clear intention to create another focus of tension along our borders.
And, of course, we cannot ignore it”, the minister replies.
“If nuclear weapons are actually stationed on the territory of our neighboring countries, tougher measures will be taken,” he warned.
Asked if these measures include the placement of nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus, Makei replied that "no one can exclude anything today, so I am convinced that our leaders have also studied this possibility."
The regime of the Belarusian dictator Lukashenko is one of the few faithful allies of the Kremlin and tens of thousands of Russian soldiers left from Belarusian territory to invade Ukraine on February 24.
In recent days, troop movements have been observed in the country, causing the West to fear that Belarus will involve its army in the war in Ukraine, which would mean an extension and escalation of the conflict.
So far, although Belarus served as a base for the invasion, Belarusian troops have not been directly involved in the conflict.
This week, Russia and Belarus announced the creation of a joint military group on the border with Ukraine in the face of alleged threats from the neighbor and the West.
The poor progress of the war for the Russian troops seems to have prompted the Kremlin to turn to its ally.

Zelensky Says "Ukrainian Defenders" Fight "For Independence And Freedom Of Future Generations"
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, stressed this Friday that the "defenders of Ukraine" are fighting "for the independence and freedom of future generations", within the framework of the war with Russia unleashed on February 24 after the order of invasion of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Zelensky has published several messages on his social media accounts on the occasion of Ukraine Defenders Day, which is celebrated this Friday, and has stressed that the soldiers who defend the country "fight for Ukraine, independence and freedom of generations future”.
“True heroes.
People with capital letters.
Our defenders”, he has pointed out.
“This is the day of those who fight.
This is the day we fight for.
This is the day of the type of victory that we will achieve," said the Ukrainian president, who has advocated "expressing gratitude to all those who fought for Ukraine in the past and to all those who are fighting for it now. To all those who won then and to all those who will win now. To win in a way that crowns the struggle of many generations of our people with success. People who have always wanted one thing above all else: freedom for themselves and their children," he said. " Glory to all our heroes. Glory to all those who fight, work and help. Glory to Ukraine", he has riveted his messages. (Europa Press)

Two associations denounce the French group TotalEnergies for alleged complicity in the Russian attacks
Two associations have filed a complaint in Paris for complicity in war crimes against the French group TotalEnergies, accused of allowing the production of fuel used by Russian planes in the Ukraine conflict.
The complaint was filed Thursday with the anti-terrorist prosecutor's office, competent for war crimes, by the France-based association Darwin Climax Coalition and the Ukrainian association Razom we stand.
The French energy group calls the accusations "defamatory and unfounded".
The complaint recalls that TotalEnergies owned until September 49% of the Terneftegaz company, which exploits the Termokarstovoie deposit, in the north of Russia.
The remaining 51% was in the hands of the Russian group Novatek, in which TotalEnergies has a 19.4% stake.

EU interior ministers meet today to discuss the situation of Ukrainian refugees
The interior ministers of the European Union debate this Friday at a meeting in Luxembourg the situation of the Ukrainian refugees who have fled the Russian invasion, as well as the implications of the war for the internal security of the community club.
At the meeting, the Twenty-seven are expected to evaluate their contingency plans and efforts to ensure good living conditions during the winter.
This week, the European Commission already proposed to extend until March 2024 the directive that grants temporary protection in the EU to Ukrainian citizens fleeing the war.
The directive, activated for the first time in March, is designed to offer immediate protection to people who arrive en masse on community territory and cannot return to their countries due to war, violence or human rights violations.
It provides people who have fled Ukraine, whatever Member State they are in, with a residence permit, access to the labor market and housing, and medical and social assistance.

Musk asks the Pentagon to pay to continue donating satellites to Ukraine
SpaceX billionaire founder Elon Musk has asked the US Department of Defense to bear the cost of supplying communications satellites to Ukraine, something it was doing for free until now.
The American channel CNN has revealed that SpaceX has communicated to the Pentagon that if it does not contribute tens of millions of dollars each month, the donations could end.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Musk has been sending terminals of his SpaceX Starlink satellite connection service to try to alleviate internet service interruptions in Ukraine caused by the bombing.
According to Musk himself, the operation has already cost SpaceX $80 million and is expected to reach $100 million by the end of the year.

Disrupted rail service in the Russian region of Belgorod by a missile attack
The rail service has been suspended near the town of Novi Oskol, in the Russian province of Belgorod, bordering Ukraine, after the remains of a missile shot down by air defenses fell onto the track, as reported by the regional governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov.
En un mensaje acompañado de tres imágenes en las que se aprecian los restos humeantes de un proyectil junto a la vía, así como lo que parecen ser cables eléctricos y de catenarias cortados por el impacto, el gobernador afirma que las defensas aéreas rusas “derribaron misiles en el distrito de Novo Oskol, una localidad de unos 18.000 habitantes situada a unos 90 kilómetros de la frontera. Los restos cayeron en la zona del ferrocarril y las líneas eléctricas sufrieron daños”. Por ello, informa de que “el tráfico de trenes ha sido suspendido temporalmente”, hasta que los servicios de emergencia reparen la infraestructura. No hubo víctimas en el ataque, asegura.
Belgorod, fronteriza con Ucrania, ha sido objetivo de algunos ataques ucranios desde el comienzo de la invasión rusa. Gladkov acusó el jueves a Ucrania de bombardear un edificio de apartamentos en la ciudad de Belgorod, la capital administrativa de la región. También han sido atacados durante estos meses algunos depósitos de munición o instalaciones militares rusas. (Reuters)

Las tropas rusas siguen avanzando lentamente en el centro de Donbás, en el este de Ucrania, mientras la contraofensiva ucrania gana terreno en los flancos norte y sur, según el Ministerio de Defensa del Reino Unido. Las fuerzas del Kremlin aspiran a tomar la ciudad de Bajmut como primer paso para avanzar hacia las localidades clave de Kramatorsk y Sloviansk, de acuerdo con el último informe de inteligencia británico, emitido este viernes. En los últimos días, las tropas del presidente Vladímir Putin han anunciado la toma de localidades cercanas a Bahamut, Opytine e Ivangrad.

El reto de Europa es subsistir, “y digo subsistir”
El avance del ejército de Ucrania en la provincia de Járkov, donde recuperó cerca de 8.000 kilómetros cuadrados hace un mes, mostró que también puede ser capaz de construir ofensivas en profundidad. Y con eso, ha llevado a la guerra a una fase diferente. Moscú respondió con una movilización parcial, convocando a 300.000 reservistas, y poco después puso en marcha una tromba de bombardeos para dañar infraestructuras sensibles y para golpear y aterrorizar a la población civil. El estallido de un camión el sábado pasado en el puente de Kerch, que une Rusia con Crimea, fue una llamarada simbólica para subrayar que Kiev tiene capacidad de hacer daño. Este miércoles, la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas rechazó la mascarada que organizó el Kremlin en septiembre para anexionarse Lugansk, Donetsk, Jersón y Zaporiyia: 143 países votaron a favor de la moción contra los referendos “coercitivos” de Moscú y para reafirmar la independencia e integridad territorial de Ucrania dentro de sus fronteras internacionalmente reconocidas. China fue uno de los 30 países que se abstuvieron, y solo Bielorrusia, Nicaragua, Corea del Norte y Siria bendijeron la iniciativa rusa. La guerra sigue ahí, impertérrita, y sus sacudidas afectan a todo el mundo. Fíjense en dos colas, dijo el martes Josep Borrell en Madrid, una en la frontera con Georgia, donde decenas de miles de ciudadanos rusos procuran abandonar su país; otra en el mar Negro, allí son cientos los cargueros que están detenidos por las inspecciones de Moscú mientras el grano que transportan empieza a estropearse e igual no llega nunca a su destino.
El alto representante para Asuntos Exteriores y Política de Seguridad de la Unión Europea dio una conferencia en la Fundación Carlos de Amberes, donde estuvo arropado por Javier Solana, ex secretario general de la OTAN, y fue presentado por el ministro de Exteriores, José Manuel Albares, y el ex primer ministro italiano Enrico Letta. El tono de la intervención de Borrell fue el del mensajero que viene a contar desde la sala de mandos de Bruselas que el mundo ha cambiado, que existe una brutal deriva autoritaria y populista. Que Europa corre peligro y tiene que reinventarse. Conseguimos construir “un jardín”, explicó, pero estamos rodeados de la jungla, y no queda otra que defender los valores en los que creemos. El acto se inició con la Oda a la alegría; fue un violinista el que tocó la música de Beethoven, así que no se escucharon las palabras del poema de Schiller que están en el corazón del himno de Europa. “Quien haya tenido la dicha / de poder contar con un amigo, / quien haya logrado conquistar a una mujer amada, / que su júbilo se una al nuestro”. La amistad, el amor y la alegría: Europa construyó un espacio donde la solidez institucional, el “dulce” comercio y la defensa de los derechos humanos los hicieron viables.

Erdogan, el mediador entre Rusia y Ucrania con sus propios intereses
La estampa de Recep Tayyip Erdogan estrechando la mano de Vladímir Putin se ha convertido en algo repetitivo: no hay otro líder con el que el presidente turco se haya reunido personalmente en más ocasiones —cuatro— desde julio. La última cita fue este jueves, cuando ambos mandatarios conversaron en Astaná (Kazajistán), aunque con pocos avances aparentes. Los gobernantes no llegaron a abordar la cuestión de una posible salida para la guerra en Ucrania, al menos según la versión del portavoz del Kremlin, Dmitri Peskov. Ese contacto entre los dos líderes es visto con recelo desde Occidente, donde algunos analistas creen que Ankara se ha convertido en un caballo de Troya dentro de la Alianza Atlántica. Pero esto contrasta con los mensajes que llegan desde Kiev, agradeciendo el suministro de drones turcos y la puesta en marcha del corredor del cereal, o con los propios comunicados del Ministerio de Exteriores de Turquía en los que se defiende la integridad territorial de Ucrania, incluida Crimea. La respuesta de la diplomacia turca es que su Gobierno busca mantener una política “equilibrada” y mediar entre las partes para poner fin a la guerra. Turquía se juega mucho; y Erdogan, más: tiene unas elecciones a la vuelta de la esquina.
“No habrá ganadores en la guerra ni perdedores con una paz justa”, dijo el presidente turco en la inauguración de la Conferencia de Interacción y Medidas de Construcción de Confianza en Asia, un foro multilateral celebrado esta semana en la capital kazaja. En realidad, es el mismo mensaje que lleva repitiendo desde marzo, cuando, a las pocas semanas del inicio de la invasión rusa, Turquía logró reunir a delegaciones negociadoras de ambos países hasta en dos ocasiones, si bien los acuerdos alcanzados no se respetaron.

Editorial | 'El chantaje de los misiles'
Hay una convergencia inquietante entre la Rusia de Vladímir Putin y la Corea del Norte de Kim Jong-un, no tan solo en su concepción del arma nuclear como resorte del terror para preservar su poder y expandir su hegemonía sobre países vecinos, sino también en la similar reacción que suscitan sus sistemáticas vulneraciones de la legalidad internacional y de las resoluciones de las instituciones multilaterales. Están coincidiendo estos días la exhibición de fuerza balística de Pyongyang para amedrentar a Japón y Corea del Sur y el lanzamiento por Rusia de más de un centenar de misiles y drones suicidas sobre Ucrania en una ofensiva vengativa, sin objetivos militares, que ha dejado un reguero de civiles muertos y de infraestructuras destruidas.

Zelenski acusa a la Cruz Roja de no defender a los prisioneros de guerra ucranios
El presidente de Ucrania, Volodimir Zelenski, ha acusado al Comité Internacional de la Cruz Roja de no defender los derechos de los prisioneros de guerra ucranianos. El jefe de Gabinete del país, Andriy Yermak, ha dado un ultimátum a la organización humanitaria para que iniciar una misión en los próximos tres días o, ha asegurado, las autoridades de Kiev lo harían ellas mismas.
En la última de una serie de críticas a la Cruz Roja, Zelenski ha dicho que "el campo de concentración" de Olenivka, en el este de Ucrania, aún no ha sido visitado. Allí decenas de prisioneros de guerra ucranios murieron en una explosión en julio. "La Cruz Roja tiene obligaciones, principalmente de carácter moral. Su mandato debe cumplirse", ha señalado el mandatario. (Reuters)

Bolaños afirma que España considerará participar en el escudo antimisiles europeo si Alemania se lo pide
El ministro de la Presidencia, Relaciones con las Cortes y Memoria Democrática, Félix Bolaños, ha manifestado este jueves que si Alemania pide a España participar en el escudo antimisiles europeo que promueve, el Gobierno "lo valorará".
Así lo ha manifestado en el programa La noche en 24 horas de TVE, en el que ha recordado que España "está ya en dispositivos de escudos antimisiles similares en la OTAN y participamos con toda normalidad".
"Alemania no nos lo ha pedido; si nos lo pide, lo valoraremos", dijo Bolaños, que añadió que los catorce países de la OTAN más Finlandia que han dado su visto bueno a la participación del escudo antimisiles promovido por Alemania son los más cercanos a la zona fronteriza con Rusia. (Efe)

Francia rechaza el plan ruso de usar Turquía para distribuir su gas: "No tiene sentido"
El centro de distribución de gas en Turquía propuesto por el presidente ruso, Vladímir Putin, para exportar gas a Europa "no tiene sentido", ya que los europeos quieren reducir su dependencia de los hidrocarburos de Rusia, ha afirmado este jueves la presidencia francesa. "No tiene sentido crear una nueva infraestructura que nos permita importar más gas ruso", ha dicho el Elíseo en un comunicado.
Putin ha anunciado este centro de distribución como el gran resultado de su reunión de hoy con el presidente, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, crear este "hub del gas", sugiriendo que permitiría a los europeos recibir gas a precios menos "exorbitantes". “Hace unos meses, casi el 40 % del gas entregado a la Unión Europea procedía de Rusia", ha afirmado el comunicado del Elíseo. "Hoy, esta participación del gas ruso es solo del 7,5 % y es probable que vaya a disminuir aún más”.
"Rusia y Turquía pueden decidir juntos exportar más gas, pero no puede ser a la Unión Europea, que tiene compromisos de soberanía, de reducción de sus dependencias y, además, de transición climática que son incompatibles con ese tipo de razonamientos", ha continuado el comunicado. Putin había asegurado el día anterior que Moscú estaba lista para reanudar las entregas a Europa a través de los gasoductos Nord Stream. (AFP)

Ampliación | Rusia prepara la evacuación de civiles de Jersón por el avance de las tropas ucranias
Por Cristian Segura, enviado especial a Kiev. El avance de las tropas ucranias en la provincia de Jersón, en el sur del país, ha empujado a las autoridades rusas a organizar la evacuación de la población civil. El gobernador de la región, instaurado por el Kremlin, envió este jueves un grito de auxilio a Moscú al que ha respondido el vice primer ministro ruso, Marat Jusnullin, que ha asegurado que el Gobierno ayudará a trasladar a los civiles a provincias de Rusia. Mientras, los ataques rusos en Ucrania en represalia por el sabotaje del puente de Kerch en Crimea el pasado fin de semana han continuado en todo el país. Los misiles rusos han alcanzado por tercer día consecutivo múltiples localidades (hasta 40 poblaciones). Los objetivos han sido enclaves civiles e infraestructuras críticas, según las Fuerzas Armadas ucranias.

Ampliación | España enviará a Ucrania cuatro lanzaderas de misiles Hawk para reforzar su defensa antiaérea
Por María R. Sahuquillo, desde Bruselas, y Miguel González, desde Madrid. España enviará cuatro lanzaderas de misiles Hawk a Ucrania, para reforzar su defensa antiaérea frente a la agresión de Rusia. El secretario general de la OTAN, Jens Stoltenberg, ha dado la “bienvenida” este jueves al anuncio realizado durante la reunión de ministros de Defensa aliados, en la que ha participado la ministra Margarita Robles. El envío de las lanzaderas Hawk se sumará a la entrega por parte española a Kiev de una batería de misiles antiaéreos Aspide, en cuyo manejo se instruyen desde hace dos semanas en la base aérea de Zaragoza una veintena de militares ucranios.
