Ukrainan konflikti/sota

Suomen kehitysapu 2021 oli 1 343 miljoonaa euroa. Sotilasapu Ukrainaan, jossa ratkaistaan Euroopan kohtalo, ollut jossain about 80 miljoonan korvilla. Ei oikein mene omaan tajuntaan tämä asia.

Suomen kehitysapu/tuki Neukkulaan vuonna 2022 on yli 20 miljoonaa. Eli neljännes siitä mitä ollaan tuettu Ukrainaa. Pitäisköhän lisätä? Onhan tuo epäreilua, että toinen saa vähemmän! Marin!? 😆 🤪
 
For six months, people in occupied Ukrainian cities have lived under the gloom of Russian rule. Across the south and east of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin’s forces have tried to legitimize makeshift administrations: Newly announced referendums would see occupied areas officially join the Russian Federation; citizens have been previously handed Russian passports; and troops have tried taking over the internet, potentially submitting people to the Kremlin’s powerful censorship machine.

As part of these efforts, in recent months two new Russian mobile and internet companies have appeared seemingly from nowhere in occupied Ukraine—claiming to provide cell phone coverage across “liberated territories.” At the same time, existing Russian internet companies in the separatist areas of the Donbas claimed to have expanded their mobile coverage, experts say. These are some of the latest efforts to convert areas of Ukraine to Russian infrastructure and control, with the actions mimicking a playbook similar to Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014.

“All this seems to be so obviously priming customers for taking away this impression that they’re bringing connection and peace and liberation to these areas,” says Olena Lennon, a national security practitioner in residence at the University of New Haven who has looked at the new mobile companies. “The language is very propagandist and manipulative,” says Lennon, who is from eastern Ukraine. She compares the actions to an act of “soft power.”

The two mobile providers—7Telecom and MirTelecom—have both been visible since around June, when people spotted new, unbranded SIM cards being sold in occupied Ukraine for the first time. Both companies use the +7 Russian mobile code, and their websites are registered on Russian domains. They claim to provide mobile coverage over Ukrainian towns and cities in the Kherson, Melitopol, and Zaporizhzhia regions.

The 7Telecom operator says people need to register for its services at one of its offices and must bring ID when they do. Lennon says the mobile tariffs she has seen show MirTelecom charging more for calls to Ukrainian phone numbers than for calls to Russian numbers. (Internet companies in Ukraine have previously said Russian occupying forces have taken over their equipment to run services. In some cases, Ukrainians have purposefully destroyed equipment to stop it from falling into Russian hands.)

Shadowy Russian Cell Phone Companies Are Cropping Up in Ukraine

But as Ukrainians retake ground, some of the firms are erasing their online presence.
www.wired.co.uk www.wired.co.uk
It isn’t clear how popular the networks are. Maps showing areas receiving cell phone signals cannot be verified, nor can Russian media claims that 7Telecom has more than 100,000 subscribers. MirTelecom and a Gmail account linked to 7Telecom’s Kherson recruitment efforts did not respond to WIRED’s request for comment. There have been a few sporadic online posts showing posters or advertising flyers for the companies, but it’s not clear how widespread they are. 7Telecom has the larger social media presence of the two, with around 8,600 followers of its account on VKontakte, Russia’s version of Facebook. While there are unofficial Telegram channels for both companies, linked to a firm that allows people to top up SIM cards, each has only a few dozen subscribers. (Although this has not stopped people from complaining about poor connections.)

While the scale of their presence is uncertain, both MirTelecom and 7Telecom appear to have some links to existing mobile companies, which were created following Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 and have formed part of its long-term occupation in the area. “The main Russian operators are not operating a commercial presence in this part, and this is the same as what they did in Crimea,” says Mc Daid. In Crimea and the Donbas, Russian forces created new internet providers. In recent months, Mc Daid says, existing Russian mobile providers in the Donbas have updated their coverage maps claiming that new areas of Ukraine fall under their service.

Eikös tämä päävuohenn*ssija käynyt mukamas silloin kevättalvella rynkky kädessä poseerauskuvat ottamassa itsestään Ukrainan maaperällä ? Tosin sitten todettiin että tämä kuva ei voi olla Ukrainasta koska siellä ei tällaista huoltoasemaketjua ole.

The UN nuclear watchdog and Western powers voiced alarm Wednesday over the safety of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia atomic power plant as Kyiv accused Russia of new shelling.

The strike by Russian "terrorists" damaged a power line at the facility, forcing a brief launch of emergency generators, Ukrainian nuclear operator Energoatom said on Telegram.

But it said radiation levels remained normal.

Rafael Grossi, director of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), renewed his warning of "playing with fire" at the plant.

"The situation is still getting worse and we can't wait for something regrettable to happen," Grossi said at United Nations headquarters in New York.

"I've proposed technical parameters to give the necessary protection to this installation," he told reporters after a meeting led by French President Emmanuel Macron.

Grossi said he had met in New York with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday and was speaking later with Ukraine's top diplomat Dmytro Kuleba.

But he acknowledged the lack of progress in his recommendation of a security zone around the plant.

"Demilitarizing is an objective but for now it's about protecting the plant," Grossi said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in a video address Wednesday to the UN General Assembly, warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin has turned the Zaporizhzhia plant "into a target," something he said should raise profound alarm worldwide.

"Russian radiation blackmailing is something that should concern each and every one of you, because none of you will find a vaccine against radiation sickness," he said.

In a joint statement, top diplomats from powers including the United States, France, Britain and Germany said they had "grave concern" over Ukraine's nuclear facilities.

They laid out seven "indispensable pillars" for nuclear safety including that safety and security systems "remain fully functional at all times."

Energoatom called for "more resolute actions" against Russia, saying that even "the presence of IAEA inspectors does not stop" them.

Minäkin näen tilanteen juuri näin. Ukrainassa on tullut jo sotilaallinen tappio ja sotilaallinen tilanne siellä vain huononee. Putin ajattelee silti voivansa voittaa EU:n, eikä se ajatus mitenkään mahdoton ole, kun katsoo millaista toopea Italia-Ranska-Saksa -mestoilla on keulilla ja väestönä. Venäjän voittavassa skenaariossa saksan velttomunat laskevat, että "sodan jatkaminen maksaa meille Ooppelin ja Basfin ja lisäksi mellakoita tiedossa Münchenissä, Hampurissa ja Stuttgartissa.

Jos Ooppelin tehdas kaatuu ja valmistus loppuu, näen sen suurena lahjana ihmiskunnalle.

400 kaatunutta päivässä on poikkeuksellinen määrä, uskon että tässä on kumulatiivisesti lisätty tietoa.
Esimerkiksi jatkosodan aikana puolutusvoimilla oli 8 päivää jolloin tappiot ylittivät 400 kaatunutta päivässä, kerran hyökkäysvaiheessa ja seitsemän kertaa kannaksen suurtaistelussa.

Ihan aiheesta. Miksi pitäisi edesauttaa putlerin agendaa? Taipuminen uhkailujen edessa ei ole vaihtoehto, koska se jatkuisi uusilla vaatimuksilla höystettynä ja p-korea sekä luultavasti kiina liittyisi jonon jatkoksi. Bonuksena tulisi jokaisen räkäpää diktaattorin hirmuinen hinku polkaista omat ydinohjelmat tulille.

Höpötys ydinaseista on kestänyt vuosia, tässä esimerkkiä 2015. Minusta tuossa ei ole mitään oleellista eroa nykyiseen.
