The US is investigating whether Russia is diverting weapons that NATO had sent to Ukraine to Iran

The United States continues to monitor the possible diversion by Russia of weapons and equipment provided to Ukraine by NATO and the North American country itself, the Pentagon announced this Friday, after CNN pointed out that these weapons end up in places like Iran.

Citing four sources familiar with the matter, CNN says that in many cases equipment recovered from the battlefield was sent to Iran for dismantling and analysis, likely so the Iranian military could try to make its own version of the weapons.

"We have seen those reports and while it is something we will continue to monitor, we have nothing further to add to Dr. Colin Kahl's statements on the subject in his recent testimony before Congress," a Pentagon source said.

On February 28, Undersecretary of Defense Kahl appeared before the House Armed Forces Committee to defend the aid sent to Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion a year ago.

Although he did not refer to any specific case, Kahl noted that "if any of these systems have been diverted, it has been by Russians who have captured material on the battlefield."

According to information from CNN, in the last year officials from the US, NATO and other Western countries have seen several cases in which Russian forces have seized weapons such as Javelin anti-tank systems and Stinger anti-aircraft systems, which Ukrainian forces have times they have been forced to leave behind on the battlefield.

US officials do not believe the problem is widespread or systematic and the Ukrainian military has made a habit since the start of the war of reporting any loss of US-supplied equipment to the Pentagon.

Moscow sees the hand of the US in the protests in Georgia

Russia sees the hand of the United States in the protests unleashed in Georgia against the foreign agents law, a rule inspired by Russian legislation to muzzle the media and non-governmental organizations.

The Kremlin has expressed its "concern" about the situation in the country and sees a risk of "provocations" in the regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, two breakaway regions of the former Soviet republic supported by Russia.

The Georgian Parliament has scrapped this Friday the foreign agents law after three days of violent demonstrations in Tbilisi, the country's capital, and the EU protest, the day after the pro-Russian Georgian Dream party, which governs the country, agreed to remove it. 

Russia sees the hand of the US in the "anti-Russian sentiment" which, in its opinion, is at the origin of the protests.

Thus, the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, has stated that proof of this is the fact that the Georgian president, Salomé Zourabichvili, has launched from New York, where she was on an official trip, a message of support for the protests.

"She addresses her town not from Georgia, but from America," she explained.

Peskov has said that Moscow views the situation with "concern" and estimates that there is a risk of other anti-Russian "provocations" taking place in the separatist regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

Russia follows the same paths in these provinces as in the Donbass region of Ukraine, supporting and arming separatist groups.

Russia attacks Zaporizhia again and leaves thousands of people without electricity

The Russian Army attacked again on Thursday night the Ukrainian region of Zaporizhia and its homonymous capital, in the south of the country and where the largest nuclear power plant in Europe is located, leaving thousands of people without electricity.

The offensive came late in the day, hours after Russia had launched dozens of missiles in ten regions of the country that caused a dozen deaths and left the nuclear power plant disconnected from Ukraine's electricity grid for hours.

“The racist abomination [Russia] cynically attacked our city again.

As a result of the flights, critical infrastructure facilities were damaged," said Anatoliy Kurtev, secretary of the Zaporizhia city council, according to the local Unian news agency.

The person in charge also affirms that the bombardment caused damage to two schools.

As he explained, some 20,000 subscribers were left without electricity as a result of the attack.

The heating and water supply were also interrupted in some areas of the city for a few hours.

“Currently, the electricity, heating and water supply in Zaporizhia has been partially restored.

The work is ongoing," said the municipal official.

The Zaporizhia nuclear plant, seized by the Russians in the first days of the invasion, was already completely cut off from the power grid on Thursday after massive Russian attacks that occurred early Thursday morning.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported Thursday night that the plant had been reconnected to an external power supply line after 11 hours in emergency mode, relying on diesel generators.

"Today's loss of all external energy has shown once again how fragile and dangerous the situation is at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant," warned Rafael Grossi, director general of the IAEA, who for months has been calling for the establishment of a safety zone around the plant to avoid the risk of a nuclear accident.

Orbán accuses the West of warmongering in Ukraine and warns of the danger of a world war

The risk of the war caused by the Russian attack on Ukraine becoming a world conflict has never been greater than now, the Hungarian Prime Minister, the ultranationalist Viktor Orbán, assured this Friday, who has accused the West of “war fever”. for sending weapons to support Kiev.

"The world has never been so close to a local war becoming a world war," he warned in statements to Kossuth public radio.

The prime minister has added that "the leaders of the West live in a war fever" for sending to Ukraine weapons that he considers increasingly dangerous, such as fighter jets.

Orbán ha dicho que, frente a la postura de Occidente de respaldar a Ucrania ante el ataque ruso, “los países africanos, los turcos y los chinos piden negociaciones de paz”, porque muchos sufren las consecuencias de la guerra, como la inflación y los problemas de abastecimiento de alimentos.

El Gobierno húngaro es el mejor aliado de Moscú en la Unión Europea y tanto Orbán como otros ministros aseguran que la inflación que enfrentan los países comunitarios se debe a las sanciones contra Rusia por la invasión de Ucrania, que consideran “erróneas”. (Efe)

Prigozhin afirma que le han bloqueado las comunicaciones con Moscú para que no pida munición

El fundador y jefe del grupo de mercenarios Wagner,  el empresario Yevgeni Prigozhin, denunció este viernes que le han bloqueado las comunicaciones y el acceso a las instancias de toma de decisión rusas para que no pida munición para su compañía.

"Para que deje de pedir munición me desconectaron todos los teléfonos de comunicación especial en todas las oficinas y en todas las unidades", afirma Prigozhin en un audio publicado en su cuenta de Telegram. Subrayó que la falta de municiones que sufren sus milicianos y de la que viene quejándose a las autoridades rusas desde hace semanas no ha cambiado. Anteriormente, ha afirmado que la falta de armamento impide que sus hombres avancen en la toma de la ciudad de Bajmut, el punto más caliente de la guerra actualmente, e incluso ha llegado a decir que si por la "hambruna" de munición sus mercenarios tienen que retirarse, se desmoronará todo el frente ruso en Donetsk. Acusa a la cúpula militar rusa, sobre todo al Ministerio de Defensa, de traición por no abastecer a sus milicianos. 

"Y otra cosa importante que hicieron, bloquearon todos los pases en todas las instituciones donde se toman las decisiones. No las voy a nombrar, para no desprestigiarlas", añadió Prigozhin, cuyas diferencias con el ministro de Defensa, Serguéi Shoigú, y con el Estado Mayor General han trascendido públicamente. Ya esta semana se quejó de que a uno de los enviados de su empresa se le denegó el acceso a la oficina desde donde se dirige la "operación militar especial", como Rusia denomina la invasión de Ucrania. Ante esta situación, Prigozhin afirma que lo único que le queda es pedir munición a través de los medios de comunicación y que es lo que "probablemente" va hacer.

"Pero no todo está tan mal. Hay cosas positivas. Mis agradecimientos a los industriales", dijo Prigozhin, que agradeció personalmente al ministro de Industria y Comercio, Denís Mánturov, por la producción de munición.

Zelenski pide a Bruselas un incremento de las sanciones contra Moscú

El presidente de Ucrania, Volodímir Zelenski, ha dedicado su habitual discurso nocturno del jueves a las consecuencias de las oleadas de ataques rusos que ayer golpearon varios puntos del país, causando al menos seis muertos. “Por muy traicioneras que sean las acciones de Rusia, nuestro país y nuestro pueblo no estarán encadenados. Ni los misiles ni las atrocidades les ayudarán”, ha dicho el mandatario.

Los bombardeos del jueves causaron daños en infraestructuras críticas del país y provocaron cortes temporales de electricidad, calefacción y agua en algunas regiones.

“Járkov (este) y la provincia de Yitómir (norte) se encuentran en la situación más difícil. Odesa (sur), la región de Dnipropetrovsk (este), Kiev (centro) y Zaporiyia (sur) también se enfrentan a dificultades”, ha detallado Zelenski. 

El presidente conversó ayer con la jefa de la Comisión Europea, Ursula von der Leyen, sobre apoyo energético y sobre un aumento de sanciones contra el Kremlin. "Discutimos el asunto de aumentar la presión sobre el terror ruso. Presión en forma de sanciones, las maneras de ampliar las sanciones", afirmó el presidente en su mensaje, añadiendo que "Rusia no puede ser un socio de buena fe en ninguna relación en la esfera nuclear" y, por tanto, "cuanto antes se sancione a la industria nuclear rusa, más seguro estará el mundo". "No se puede permitir que un Estado terrorista use ninguna instalación nuclear del mundo para su terrorismo", sentenció.

El Papa afirma que no solo los intereses imperiales rusos están detrás de la guerra en Ucrania

A punto de cumplir diez años de Pontificado, el papa Francisco se ha referido a la guerra de Ucrania y ha afirmado que se ha llegado a ella no solo por el interés del imperio ruso, sino que hay otros “intereses imperiales” que lo alimentan. Aunque ha cargado en varias ocasiones contra Moscú como responsable de la guerra y causante del “martirio” del pueblo ucranio, Francisco ha intentado mantener una posición equilibrada y ha intentado mediar entre los gobiernos de Kiev y Moscú. 

Según ha afirmado el Papa en una entrevista con el canal suizo de televisión RSI, algunos de cuyos extractos han adelantado los diarios italianos La Repubblica y Corriere della Sera, el conflicto fue impulsado “por intereses imperiales, no solo del imperio ruso, sino de otros imperios de otras partes”. 

En caso de entrevistarse con el presidente ruso, Vladímir Putin, el pontífice explica que le hablaría de “manera clara”. El Papa ha recordado que al estallar el conflicto se personó en la sede de la embajada rusa para manifestar su disposición a viajar a Moscú para mediar en la negociación. El ministro de Exteriores ruso, Serguéi Lavrov, le contestó que “no era el momento”. “Putin sabe que sigo disponible, pero ahí hay intereses imperiales. No solo del imperio ruso, sino también de imperios de otros lugares”, ha añadido.

Ha funcionado bien y es la mejor garantía para alcanzar un nivel adecuado de almacenamiento para noviembre”, ha dicho este jueves la comisaria de Energía, Kadri Simson, ante la comisión de Industria y Energía del Parlamento Europeo.

• Turquía, Suecia y Finlandia reconocen avances hacia la ampliación de la OTAN. Turquía, Suecia y Finlandia han reconocido este jueves "progresos" en el proceso para que esos dos países se conviertan en miembros de pleno derecho de la OTAN y que Ankara sigue bloqueando por el momento, ha informado la Alianza en un comunicado tras una reunión celebrada en Bruselas. "Todos los participantes se congratularon de los progresos realizados", ha afirmado el bloque tras el encuentro, auspiciado por el secretario general de la OTAN, Jens Stoltenberg.

• Uno de los principales asesores del opositor ruso Navalni dimite tras haber presionado a la UE en defensa de un oligarca. Uno de los principales asesores del político opositor ruso Alexei Navalni ha dimitido este jueves tras ser acusado de haber pedido a la Unión Europea que levantara las sanciones contra uno de los hombres más ricos de Rusia.
