The episode was recorded on 28 November 2023 in cooperation with Ponto. A new power balance is emerging in the South Caucasus – especially visible after the Second Karabakh War – whereby Turkey and Russia are simultaneously competing and cooperating in the region. Turkey is Azerbaijan's staunchest ally and has assisted it militarily in its war effort. Russia, on the other hand, spearheads the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), in which Armenia is a member. However, Moscow has been ambiguous about its support for Yerevan in the conflict with Baku, refusing to back Yerevan militarily in the Second Karabakh War in 2020 and the subsequent Azerbaijani offensives in 2021-2023. With the exodus of Karabakh Armenians in September after Baku's complete takeover of the territory, Russia's peacekeeping force stationed in the region has been rendered meaningless. But will Russian forces leave the region? Will Turkey normalize its relations with Armenia now that Azerbaijan has all of Nagorno-Karabakh under its control? What kind of involvement might Russia have in the establishment of a route through Armenia to Nakhichevan? What interest does Turkey have in transport connections in the region? In this episode, we discuss these and other motivations for the continued involvement of Turkey and Russia in the South Caucasus. Guests: Mustafa Aydın is a Professor of International Relations at Kadir Has University (Istanbul), and the President of International Relations Council of Turkey. Previously, he worked at Ankara University and Economy and Technology University, and was the Rector of Kadir Has University between 2010 and 2018.

C'est un coup de tonnerre pour le gigantesque projet gazier russe en Arctique, LNG 2. Ce lundi 25 décembre, les actionnaires étrangers (français, chinois et japonais) ont annoncé suspendre leur participation dans le programme. Le projet LNG 2 va-t-il pouvoir exporter 20 millions de tonnes de gaz naturel liquéfié chaque année ? C'est en tout cas ce qui était prévu à partir du mois prochain. Mais c'était sans compter sur un véritable rebondissement dans ce programme clé de la stratégie de la Russie sur le marché mondial de GNL (gaz naturel liquéfié).Ce lundi 25 décembre, trois investisseurs étrangers, français, chinois et japonais, ont annoncé suspendre leur participation. Ils invoquent un « cas de force majeure ». C'est en fait la conséquence directe des sanctions internationales qui visent Moscou. La dernière décision en date est celle des États-Unis et visait directement le projet LNG 2.Selon Reuters, deux grandes majors chinoises avaient pourtant demandé des exemptions au gouvernement américain. Désormais, ils se retirent, tout comme un consortium de sociétés japonaises et TotalEnergies. Ils pesaient chacun 10% du projet. Le pétrolier français s'était déjà retiré de manière opérationnelle en 2022 après le début de la guerre en Ukraine, mais des contrats d'approvisionnement continuaient de le lier au projet.Retards de livraison du gaz naturel liquéfiéCe dernier rebondissement est donc un immense coup dur pour LNG 2 Arctique, détenu à 60% par Novatek, le plus grand producteur russe de gaz naturel liquéfié.Ce gisement pouvait permettre à Moscou d'augmenter sa part sur le marché mondial de GNL, pour passer de 8 à 20% d'ici à 2030. Le quotidien russe Kommersant estime que le retrait des investisseurs étrangers pourrait conduire LNG 2 Arctique à perdre les contrats d'approvisionnement à long terme qu'il a déjà signé. Le journal évoque aussi la nécessité pour Novatek de financer le projet par ses propres moyens et de vendre le gaz sur le marché au comptant.Ces contretemps retardent forcément les livraisons.

Minerais critiques: le commerce continue entre l'Union européenne et la Russie

Selon une enquête du collectif de journalistes « Investigate Europe » parue mardi 24 octobre, les pays de l'Union européenne continuent d'acheter des métaux et minerais dits « critiques » aux entreprises russes. Ce commerce florissant contribue à renflouer le budget de l'État. De notre correspondante à Moscou,Quelques chiffres glanés dans la presse russe ce mois-ci sur une entreprise appelée Nornickel disent beaucoup des échanges qui continuent entre les Vingt-Sept et la Russie sur ces matières premières critiques.Sur le papier, Nornickel avait largement de quoi être sanctionnée par Bruxelles. Son principal actionnaire est Vladimir Potanine, un oligarque, un ancien vice-Premier ministre sous sanctions américaines et britanniques. Mais l'entreprise est un fournisseur majeur de nickel et de palladium, ces deux métaux indispensables à la fabrication de batteries de véhicules électriques et de semi-conducteurs.47 % des ventes de Nornickel destinées à l'Union européenneCe géant est donc aujourd'hui en pleine forme. Il y a dix jours le journal Kommersant publiait ainsi les résultats de l'entreprise, en 2022 elle a augmenté ses exportations vers les Vingt-Sept de 4,3 %, l'Union européenne reste son marché majeur, soit 47 % des ventes de l'entreprise.Dans ce secteur, d'autres géants russes tirent leur épingle du jeu, celui de l'aluminium avec, par exemple, Rusal, et son immense usine en Irlande, ou encore sa fonderie en Suède. Son principal actionnaire est Oleg Deripaska, oligarque sanctionné par les Occidentaux, Union européenne comprise.Les matières premières critiques, des ressources de facto exemptées des sanctions ?Sur ces fameux métaux, l'Union européenne commence à être isolée. Le Royaume-Uni a par exemple récemment interdit le cuivre, l'aluminium et le nickel russes alors qu'entre mars 2022 et juillet 2023, l'UE a importé, toujours selon « Investigate Europe » pour 13,7 milliards de ce type de matières premières.Pourquoi ? La question a été posée en septembre à David O'Sullivan, l'envoyé spécial de l'UE pour les sanctions. Sa réponse est lapidaire : « Pourquoi les matières premières critiques ne sont-elles pas interdites ? Parce qu'elles sont critiques. Soyons honnêtes. »

Vì sao nhiều quốc gia muốn xa lánh đô la Mỹ ?

TẠP CHÍ KINH TẾ

Tại Trung Quốc và Nga, nhân dân tệ được cho là đã soán ngôi đô la để thanh toán các khoản trao đổi mậu dịch. Mặc dù hiện tại mới chỉ có 2 % trao đổi mậu dịch thế giới được thanh toán bằng tiền của Trung Quốc, nhưng tỷ lệ này đã không ngừng gia tăng. Tại sao ngày càng có nhiều quốc gia muốn xa lánh đơn vị tiền tệ của Mỹ ? Và nhân dân tệ đủ tư cách để được trọng dụng hơn hay chưa ? Theo hãng tin Anh Reuters, tháng 3/2023 tổng trao đổi mậu dịch hai chiều của Trung Quốc bằng nhân dân tệ đạt kỷ lục 550 tỷ đô la. Đơn vị tiền tệ Trung Quốc được sử dụng trong 48,4 % các thương vụ. Vai trò của đô la bị thu hẹp lại còn có 46,7 %. Ba tháng sau, đến lượt Nga loan báo lần đầu tiên trong các giao dịch của mình, nhân dân tệ của Trung Quốc qua mặt đô la Mỹ. Nhật báo tài chính Kommersant hôm 07/07/2023 đưa tin trên 100 thương vụ giao dịch, 41 trường hợp được tính bằng tiền Trung Quốc, 40 ca được thanh toán bằng đô la và đồng tiền chung châu Âu chỉ được sử dụng trong 19 trường hợp mà thôi. Điều này dễ hiểu khi mà Âu Mỹ liên tiếp trừng phạt kinh tế Nga, giảm trao đổi mậu dịch với các tập đoàn của Nga. Trong đà này giới phân tích tại Matxcơva phấn khởi dự báo chỉ hai năm nữa thôi, nhân dân tệ sẽ chiếm từ 50 đến 60 % tổng kim ngạch mậu dịch của Nga.Đà tiến của nhân dân tệTừ đầu năm 2023, hai nước châu Mỹ Latinh là Brazil và Achentina cùng thông báo muốn « xa rời đô la ». Hôm 29/03/2023 vài tuần trước khi tổng thống Lula da Silva hội kiến ông Tập Cận Bình tại Bắc Kinh, Brazil và Trung Quốc đã thông qua thỏa thuận « đẩy mạnh trao đổi mậu dịch và đầu tư hai chiều » bằng nhân dân tệ. Đặt chân đến Bắc Kinh hồi mùa xuân vừa qua, tổng thống Lula da Silva không những đã xác định muốn sử dụng đồng tiền của Trung Quốc nhiều hơn trong các khoản trao đổi mậu dịch hai chiều với Bắc Kinh, mà còn vận động để cho ra đời một đơn vị tiền tệ chung được sử dụng giữa 5 thành viên trong nhóm BRICS, gồm Brazil, Nga, Ấn Độ, Trung Quốc và Nam Phi. Ông tuyên bố :« Chúng ta cần có một đơn vị tiền tệ cho phép các quốc gia được thanh thản hơn thay vì cứ phải mải miết chạy theo đô la. Chúng ta hoàn toàn có thể dùng đồng tiền của chính mình để thanh toán các khoản xuất nhập khẩu. Chắc chắn là các Ngân Hàng Trung Ương phải làm được chuyện này. Tại sao các ngân hàng của khối BRICS lại không thể sử dụng một đồng tiền chung để thanh toán giữa các thành viên, thí dụ như là giữa Trung Quốc với Brazil hay giữa Brazil với bất kỳ một thành viên nào trong khối ? Cái khó ở đây là chúng ta đã quá lệ thuộc vào đô la Mỹ và xem đó như một đồng tiên duy nhất trên đời ! »Cuối tháng 5/2023 bộ trưởng Tài Chính Achentina, Sergio Massa đến Bắc Kinh để đàm phán vay thêm tín dụng của Trung Quốc, tránh để Buenos Aires phải tuyên bố vỡ nợ. Đổi lại Achentina cam kết mua hàng của Trung Quốc bằng nhân dân tệ. Hôm 07/08/2023 Achentina vừa huy động 1,7 tỷ nhân dân tệ để thanh toán nợ đáo hạn. Trên đài RFI chuyên gia về tiền tệ Carl Grekou Trung Tâm Nghiên Cứu về Triển Vọng Kinh Tế và Thông Tin Quốc Tế CEPII của Pháp giải thích về trường hợp đặc biệt của Achentina muốn thoát khỏi ảnh hưởng của đô la Mỹ :« Achentina từ khoảng những năm 2000 đã trải qua một cuộc khủng hoảng tiền tệ nghiêm trọng, từ đó cả nước bị lạm phát ngựa phi. Hiện tại khó khăn của quốc gia Nam Mỹ này xuất phát từ hai yếu tố cùng lúc. Thứ nhất là do Achentina quá lệ thuộc vào đồng đô la Mỹ và điều đó ảnh hưởng trực tiếp đến cán cân thương mại, đến khả năng tài chính của Buenos Aires. Yếu tố thứ hai là Achentina quản lý kinh tế quá tồi, đến nỗi một nền kinh tế lớn như vậy mà không có khả năng thu hút đầu tư nước ngoài, không đủ năng động để thu hút ngoại tệ. Trong hoàn cảnh đó, chỉ cần một Ngân Hàng Trung Ương như của Mỹ hay châu Âu chẳng hạn, tăng lãi suất chỉ đạo, vốn đầu tư sẽ nhanh chóng rút khỏi Achentina. Bị thiếu hụt tiền mặt, lạm phát lại tăng mạnh và tình hình lại càng tồi tệ hơn khi quốc gia này đã mang nợ chồng chất. Achentina phải trả cái giá đắt về mặt xã hội. Achentina không là một trường hợp riêng lẻ. Liban hay Venezuela cũng tương tự và đơn vị tiền tệ của các nước này đã mất một nửa trị giá ». Nước chảy chỗ trũngChính vấn đề nợ nần như trong trường hợp của Achentina lại càng thúc đẩy một số quốc gia mang nợ xa lánh đô la. Năm 2012 chẳng hạn chỉ cần có 4 pesos Achentina đủ để mua vào 1 đô la Mỹ. Hiện tại thì phải mất đến 253 pesos. Theo giáo sư Vincent Pons, cộng tác viên với đại học kinh doanh Harvard khi mà một đơn vị tiền tệ bị phá giá đến mức độ này, thì điều dễ hiểu là Buenos Aires không còn muốn phải lệ thuộc vào đô la, vào hệ thống tiền tệ IMF.Trong khi đó, do làm chủ đồng đô la, Hoa Kỳ tự cho mình những quyền lợi mà các nước nghèo khó có thể chấp nhận được. Mỹ cũng nợ nần chồng chất, nhưng chỉ cần « in tiền » là giải quyết được tất cả. Cũng vì đô la và kinh tế của Hoa Kỳ vững chắc và được tín nhiệm mà chính quyền Liên Bang luôn đi vay với lãi suất thấp. Những nước nghèo không được hưởng những « ưu đãi » đó !Carl Grekou trung tâm CEPII ghi nhận hệ thống tiền tệ thế giới hiện nay với vị thế áp đảo của đô la là một cái bẫy : « Đây là cả một hệ thống mà tự nó đã nuôi dưỡng nó hiểu theo nghĩa là ai cũng sử dụng đồng đô la và đấy là một giải pháp đơn giản. Thậm chí mức nợ của các nền kinh tế cũng được tính bằng đô la, bởi họ phải đi vay bằng đô la. Đơn giản là khi đã cần đi vay, người ta không thể đem đơn vị tiền tệ quốc gia ra để bảo đảm, vì sẽ không mấy ai tín nhiệm cái đồng tiền đó cả. Nhìn đến thâm hụt mậu dịch đương nhiên khoản này cũng được tính bằng đô la. Thành thử một quốc gia trong tình trạng nhập siêu thì trước sau gì cũng phải huy động đô la để thanh toán cho nhà cung cấp. Tất cả những yếu tố vừa nêu châm thêm củi lửa cho những nhà tiên tri dự báo hệ thống tiền tệ quốc tế sắp sửa chuyển sang mô hình lưỡng cực mà ở đó đô la không còn độc quyền mà sẽ phải chia sẻ vị thế áp đảo với một đơn vị tiền tệ khác.Hiện tại người ta nghĩ là đồng nhân dân tệ sẽ chia sẻ vị trí áp đảo đó của đô la. Nhưng đừng quên là trong quá khứ đã có nhiều dự báo là đô la bị thì bị đồng yen của Nhật, Deutch Mark của Đức đe dọa như trong thập niên 1980. Khi đồng tiền chung châu Âu ra đời người ta cũng đã nghĩ rằng euro sẽ là đối thủ của đô la và bây giờ trong bối cảnh Trung Quốc đang vươn lên rất mạnh ai cũng nghĩ rằng nhân dân tệ sẽ soán ngôi đô la ».Vậy câu hỏi kế tiếp là đồng tiền Trung Quốc có « đủ điều kiện » để trở thành một đơn vị tiền tệ quốc tế như đô la hay chưa, theo giáo sư Pons đại học kinh doanh Harvard, thì câu trả lời là chưa : « Một trật tự tiền tệ quốc tế khác hoàn toàn có thể chào đời nhưng tôi thiển nghĩ đồng euro sẽ là đơn vị tiền tệ thay thế tốt hơn cả - với điều kiện là các thành viên châu Âu phải đồng ý phát hành nhiều hơn công trái phiếu bằng euro. Về giải pháp thành lập một đơn vị tiền tệ chung cho nhóm BRICS, tôi không mấy tin tưởng, bởi điều đó có nghĩa là 5 nước thành viên phải đồng ý về một tỷ lệ hối đoái nhất định và không một bên nào được quyền điều chỉnh tỉ giá hối đoái đó. Vấn đề đặt ra là kinh tế các nước này, từ Brazil đến Nga, Trung Quốc hay Ấn Độ, Nam Phi đều trồi sụt thất thường. Do vậy ít có khả năng họ sẽ giữ được cam kết là không điều chỉnh tỉ giá hối đoái, không phá giá đồng tiền và cũng không tự động tăng giá của đơn vị tiền tệ chung để giải quyết những khó khăn riêng của một thành viên nào đó trong khối. Hiện thời người ta nhắc nhiều đến nhân dân tệ nhưng đồng tiền Trung Quốc này không đủ tư cách để được các nhà đầu tư quốc tế tín nhiệm, do vậy nhân dân tệ không đủ sức thay thế đô la ».Kinh tế Trung Quốc báo động đỏHãng tin Reuters hôm 01/08/2023 tiết lộ Ngân Hàng Trung Ương Trung Quốc được lệnh bán đô la để giữ giá cho nhân dân tệ, « hoãn hoặc hủy các kế hoạch mua vào đô la » tránh để đơn vị tiền tệ quốc gia bị « phá giá » vào lúc mà các « tin xấu » về nền kinh tế thứ hai toàn cầu dồn dập ập xuống.Tỉ lệ thất nghiệp chính thức của giới trẻ dưới 25 tuổi lên tới 21 % nhưng nhiều nhà quan sát ghi nhận : 1 người trên 2 không tìm được việc làm. Chỉ số sản xuất công nghiệp trong tháng 7/2023 giảm trong 10 tháng liên tiếp, lợi nhuận của các doanh nghiệp sụt giảm.Nhìn đến xuất khẩu, tháng 7 vừa qua, kim ngạch xuất khẩu của Trung Quốc giảm hơn 14 % và đây là mức sa sút mạnh nhất từ 1 năm qua. Hệ quả kèm theo là « hàng chục ngàn hãng xưởng hoạt động chậm lại ».Tiêu thụ trong nước, xuất khẩu hai đầu máy tăng trưởng của Trung Quốc đều bị đóng băng. Vào lúc mà Âu Mỹ phải đối mặt với lạm phát, thì trái lại Trung Quốc bị giảm phát, điều đó báo trước các chương trình kích cầu sẽ không còn hiệu quả.Báo Financial Times tiết lộ chưa tìm ra giải pháp để kích thích kinh tế các giới chức tại Bắc Kinh « gây sức ép » và khuyến khích các chuyên gia Trung Quốc kín tiếng về tình hình kinh tế, tránh nêu lên những vấn đề tiêu cực của nền kinh tế thứ hai toàn cầu.Tháng 6/2023 cơ quan môi giới China Merchants Securities, trụ sở tại Thâm Quyến, được « nhắc nhở » sau khi dự báo « thị trường tài chính Trung Quốc đang mất đi tính năng động trong những năm sắp tới ». Viễn cảnh bị giảm phát càng khiến những bài phân tích về tình hình kinh tế Trung Quốc, về nguy cơ vốn đầu tư rút khỏi Hoa Lục trở thành « những đề tài cấm kỵ ».

Pour la première fois depuis sa rébellion armée contre Moscou au mois de juin, le chef de la milice Wagner prend la parole dans une vidéo. Le Washington Post dit avoir authentifié le clip plutôt flou, apparemment filmé au crépuscule. « Prigojine s'engage à poursuivre les activités de son groupe en Afrique et à faire de l'armée de Biélorussie, son nouveau pays d'accueil, la deuxième armée du monde » annonce le quotidien qui précise « Wagner a des activités militaires et commerciales dans une douzaine de pays du continent, mais a dû céder quelques-unes de ses activités en Afrique pour payer les salaires de ses combattants ».« Malgré ces changements, ajoute le journal, Prigojine confirme une nouvelle fois qu'il n'entend pas réduire sa présence en Afrique, mais au contraire, l'étendre ». Le Washington Post note aussi la présence de Dimitry Utkin sur la vidéo, le fondateur du groupe Wagner dont les apparitions sont rares. « Ce n'est pas la fin, c'est juste le début de notre plus grande mission dans le monde » hurle-t-il avant d'ajouter en anglais « bienvenue en enfer ». Des exercices de combat proches de la frontière polonaiseLa presse confirme dans la foulée que la milice a bien quitté la Russie et déplacé l'essentiel de ses forces en Biélorussie. La BBC a analysé des images satellites pour tirer ses conclusions. « Les images montrent que des douzaines de camions et de véhicules militaires sont entrés le 18 juillet dans le nouveau camp de la milice, située à une centaine de kilomètres de Minsk la capitale » explique la chaine britannique. En Russie, le Moscow Times annonce que « Dix mille mercenaires de Wagner vont se déployer en Biélorussie ». Et en Allemagne, Die Welt précise l'étendue de la coopération qui s'annonce entre la milice et les forces armées du pays : « des mercenaires du groupe russe Wagner entraînent les forces spéciales biélorusses dans une zone d'entraînement militaire près de la frontière avec la Pologne. Des exercices de combat sont prévus. »La croix rouge biélorusse impliquée dans l'enlèvement d'enfants ukrainiensLa Biélorussie, proche alliée de Vladimir Poutine, et terre d'accueil de Wagner, confirme par ailleurs être impliquée dans l'enlèvement d'enfants ukrainiens. « La Croix Rouge de Biélorussie affirme avoir participé au transfert d'enfants hors d'Ukraine » titre le Guardian. « Dans un reportage diffusé à la télévision d'État, détaille le quotidien, le chef de la croix rouge du pays est filmé dans une région ukrainienne occupée par les Russes. Il explique qu'il est activement impliqué dans la déportation d'enfants vers la Biélorussie pour, selon ses termes, améliorer leur santé et leur faire oublier les horreurs de la guerre ». « Un reportage qui suscite l'indignation de la fédération internationale de la Croix Rouge et de la communauté internationale » poursuit le journal. « De nouveaux appels ont été lancés après sa diffusion, afin que la cour pénale internationale lance un mandat d'arrêt pour crimes de guerre contre le chef de la croix rouge de Biélorussie et contre le dirigeant du pays ». Poutine n'ira pas au sommet des BricsC'est en raison de ces déportations d'enfants ukrainiens que Vladimir Poutine est déjà sous le coup d'un tel mandat d'arrêt. Pour éviter d'être interpellé, le dirigeant russe ne se rendra pas au sommet des Brics à la fin août en Afrique du Sud. « L'absence de Vladimir Poutine au sommet a été annoncée par la présidence sud-africaine, mettant fin à des mois de spéculation » titreAl Jazeera, qui précise qu'il s'agit d'un accord mutuel entre Pretoria et Moscou. La revue Foreign Policy développe : « Depuis des mois, Moscou faisait pression sur le président sud-africain pour qu'il autorise la venue de Poutine sans qu'il risque d'être interpellé. Mais en tant que membre de la Cour Pénale Internationale, l'Afrique du Sud est tenue de se soumettre aux mandats d'arrêts émis par la CPI ». Foreign Policy conclut : « L'époque où Poutine se prélassait dans l'éclat des sommets de haut niveau est révolue ». La presse russe présente bien entendu l'absence de Poutine sous un autre angle. « Poutine s'adressera à distance au sommet des Brics le 23 août » titre Kommersant qui ajoute, « le président participera à toutes les discussions. Vladimir Poutine a décidé de manière indépendante de ne pas venir au sommet ».Les mines ralentissent la progression de la contre-offensive ukrainienneLa presse rapporte les bombardements russes sur les ports de la Crimée et évoque les difficultés de la contre-offensive menée par Kiev. Après le New York Times en début de semaine, le Financial Times publie un long reportage sur les champs de mines qui freinent l'avancée des troupes ukrainiennes. « Les mines limitent sérieusement l'espace de manœuvre de Kiev. Elles sont disséminées partout et sous toutes les formes. Une menace cachée qui est devenue un tourment psychologique pour les soldats » explique le journal qui décrit un problème sans fin, « le temps nécessaire aux forces ukrainiennes pour déminer est du temps que la Russie consacre à renforcer la prochaine ligne d'engins explosifs ». De l'autre côté du front, le moral des soldats russes n'est pas au plus haut si l'on en juge par les appels téléphoniques interceptés par les renseignements ukrainiens. Le Kyiv Post rapporte ainsi la conversation d'un soldat russe avec sa femme. Il se plaint de ne pas être payé et déclare : « Il n'y a pas assez de munitions. Nous n'avons qu'une grenade par personne, avant d'ajouter, Oui, ma patrie, c'est la Russie, mais on crève de faim et je suis contre les autorités ».

À la Une: la Russie annonce la fin de l'accord céréalier

Moscou a décrété ce lundi la fin « de facto » de l'accord sur l'exportation des céréales ukrainiennes. Cela n'a pas surpris la presse, qui avant même l'annonce du Kremlin avait anticipé ce blocage. « Le dernier cargo transportant des céréales ukrainiennes a quitté le port d'Odessa dimanche matin à huit heures locales », titrait la BBC aux premières heures de la matinée, comme si la non-reconduction de l'accord était déjà actée.Aux États-Unis, le Wall Street Journal se penche sur les objections de Moscou : « L'élite russe et le peuple russe dans son ensemble considèrent que le gouvernement fait trop de concessions et qu'il n'obtient pas grand-chose en retour », déclare un analyste dans ses colonnes. « La Russie est passée d'une position d'accommodement grincheux à une obstruction totale. » Ce n'est évidemment pas la version donnée par le Kremlin pour expliquer ce refus de prolonger l'accord. Le Moscow Times relaye les dernières déclarations du président russe à ce sujet : « L'objectif principal de l'accord, à savoir la fourniture de céréales aux pays dans le besoin, y compris sur le continent africain, n'a pas été mis en œuvre ». Interrogé par Kommersant, le porte-parole du Kremlin précise que la décision de la Russie n'est pas liée à l'explosion d'une section du pont de Crimée. « Ce sont des choses sans rapport », assure Dmitry Peskov qui précise : « Si nos conditions sont remplies, nous reviendrons à sa mise en œuvre ».Les conséquences de la rupture de l'accord« L'objectif de l'accord était d'éviter la famine dans d'autres régions du monde », rappelle le Süddeutsche Zeitung. Le quotidien allemand précise qu'il n'y a aucun traité direct entre la Russie et l'Ukraine, et donc que « l'accord entre l'Ukraine, la Turquie et les Nations unies reste en place ». « Les exportations de céréales peuvent théoriquement continuer, poursuit le journal, mais les exploitants de cargos doivent s'aventurer sans garanties russes, et les assureurs facturent des sommes extrêmement élevées pour de tels voyages. » Et le Süddeutsche Zeitung ajoute : « La plupart des bateaux qui assurent les exportations à travers la mer Noire ne naviguent pas sous pavillon ukrainien. Il est donc difficilement concevable que la Russie les attaque ».Toujours en Allemagne, le Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung rappelle pour sa part que les exportations qui sont passées par la mer Noire au cours de l'année écoulée ont représenté « plus de la moitié des céréales expédiées par le Programme alimentaire mondial vers des pays comme le Yémen, l'Éthiopie, ou la Somalie ». Aux États-Unis, le Washington Post pointe d'ailleurs le récent rapport de cinq agences onusiennes sur la faim dans le monde et écrit par exemple au sujet de la Somalie qu'« environ 43 000 personnes sont mortes de faim en 2022, l'afflux d'aide humanitaire a permis d'éviter un résultat encore plus désastreux ».Une nouvelle catastrophe pour les agriculteurs ukrainiensLe journal ukrainien The Kyiv Independant a enquêté sur le port d'Odessa et interrogé plusieurs directeurs d'entreprises de fret maritime. « Je crois que le corridor céréalier va fonctionner même sans la Russie », espère l'un d'entre eux, qui mise sur « la protection de la marine turque dans la mer Noire ». Un autre, plus pessimiste, s'inquiète : « Nous risquons d'accumuler des tonnes de céréales dans les silos et dans les champs, la plupart de ces récoltes vont être perdues ».En Belgique, le quotidien Le Soir a rencontré des agriculteurs ukrainiens dans la région de Kherson. Pour eux, la fin de l'accord s'ajoute aux difficultés insurmontables qui s'accumulent depuis le début du conflit. « Le 6 juin dernier, la démolition du barrage de Nova Kakhovka a porté un coup fatal au secteur, explique le journal, plus destructrice pour l'agriculture que l'ensemble des bombes russes depuis le début de l'invasion, la catastrophe a asséché les canaux d'irrigation ». Le Soir donne la parole à un couple d'agriculteurs, Olep et Natalia, qui partagent leurs inquiétudes : « On ignore s'il y aura de quoi irriguer nos plantes. Des animaux morts gisent dans les flots, des litres de pesticides se sont déversées dans le fleuve. L'eau pourrait être infectée pour longtemps», témoigne le producteur. Et il pointe un autre problème : « Nous plantions des semences quand nous avons repéré des mines. Nos champs en sont infestés. Il nous faudra des années pour reprendre l'exploitation ».La prolifération des mines en UkraineLe New York Times consacre justement un long article à la prolifération des mines en Ukraine. « Petites, cachées et mortelles : les mines paralysent la contre-offensive ukrainienne », titre le quotidien américain avant de développer : « Pour gagner du terrain, les forces ukrainiennes doivent se frayer un chemin à travers une variété et une densité de mines terrestres russes qu'elles n'auraient jamais imaginées ». « Je pensais que les mines seraient alignées. Mais des champs entiers en sont remplis, partout », témoigne un Ukrainien chargé de venir en aide aux soldats blessés par les explosions.Des dizaines de types de mines jonchent le terrain, explique le journal, qui précise : « Parmi les explosifs les plus sophistiqués, on trouve les mines dites sauteuses qui surgissent et projettent des éclats d'obus. D'autres explosions sont provoquées par de minces fils déclencheurs qui s'étendent sur des dizaines de mètres ». Le New York Times a notamment interrogé un médecin militaire ukrainien, qui déclare que « les mines ont dépassé l'artillerie comme principale cause de blessures. Certaines sont en plastique afin d'éviter d'être repérées par les équipes de démineurs. Les éclats qu'elles projettent sur les soldats peuvent aussi être invisibles pour les médecins près du front, qui utilisent des détecteurs de métaux pour trouver et retirer les fragments ».

Tout juste un mois après la mort de la jeune kurde Mahsa Amini, arrêtée par la police des mœurs pour un voile mal ajusté, la contestation a gagné « 30 des 31 provinces du pays », note le Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, et touche même désormais les « travailleurs du secteur pétrolier ainsi que les commerçants ». Et chaque jour qui passe, insiste le quotidien allemand, « voit grandir la volonté de recourir à la violence parmi les manifestants, face à la répression brutale du régime ». Une répression « particulièrement sévère dans la province du Kurdistan où, selon certaines ONG, des armes lourdes ont été utilisées contre les manifestants », souligne de son côté Le Temps. La police a même commencé « à faire le tour des écoles pour arrêter des lycéennes et des étudiantes qui ont pris part aux manifestations pour les emmener dans des centres de "correction psychologique" », rapporte de son côté le correspondant du Times. Certains élèves « ne vont plus à l'école par peur d'être arrêtés ». ► À lire aussi : Iran: un mois de contestation et de répression meurtrière Ces manifestations contre le voile sont « désormais dirigées contre le régime islamiste lui-même, contre l'ayatollah Khamenei », note le Suddeustche Zeitung qui estime « qu'elles constituent l'un des défis les plus sérieux auxquels la République islamiste ait été confrontée en 40 ans d'existence ». « Face à ces jeunes femmes qui n'ont plus peur de lui, le régime iranien est en danger », commente de son côté Le Temps qui explique « que le pouvoir théocratique ne peut rétablir le contact avec ces quelque quatre millions et demi d'étudiants, une jeune génération ouverte au monde et en rupture complète avec le système ». La grande crainte, s'inquiète un chercheur dans le quotidien suisse, « c'est que, désespéré, le régime applique la méthode "syrienne" de massacres indiscriminés de civils ». Premières voix discordantes parmi l'élite politique iranienne Alors que le régime iranien continue à blâmer « la politique de déstabilisation des États-Unis, [...] l'ancien président du parlement iranien, Ari Larijani, une véritable figure de l'establishment », dit le Guardian, « vient d'appeler à un réexamen de l'application de la loi sur le voile obligatoire » en mettant en garde « contre une réponse trop rigide », a-t-il dit de son application. Et critiquant au passage les forces de la police des mœurs « qui ne devraient pas, selon lui, être chargées d'encourager le port du hijab. [...] Cette première fissure est le signe que la ligne dure du gouvernement n'est pas universelle », commente encore le quotidien britannique qui rappelle que « Larijani avait été interdit de se présenter à la présidentielle l'an passé en raison de la menace qu'il représentait pour le vainqueur Raisi, le candidat favori du guide suprême ». Ukraine : le président turc Erdogan reprend ses efforts de médiation Le président turc qui doit s'entretenir avec Vladimir Poutine ce jeudi 13 octobre en marge d'un sommet régional au Kazakhstan, avec au cœur des discussions la proposition d'Erdogan d'organiser en Turquie « une "grande concertation" qui réunirait tout à la fois la Russie et quatre états soutenant l'Ukraine, les États-Unis, la Grande-Bretagne, l'Allemagne et la France », rapporte le quotidien russe Nezavissimaïa Gazeta. « Le président turc qui a proposé à plusieurs reprises de servir d'intermédiaire dans des pourparlers de paix entre Kiev et Moscou se positionne ainsi comme un acteur essentiel dans la crise », note de son côté le Wall Street Journal qui souligne que « sa médiation a déjà contribué en juillet dernier à la conclusion d'un accord pour l'exportation des céréales ukrainiennes bloquées dans les ports de la mer noire ». Alors que le président ukrainien Zelensky exclue « toute idée de négociation avec Poutine ». De son côté, la Russie se dit ouverte « à des discussions avec l'Occident », rapporte le quotidien russe Kommersant qui note également « que le président français Macron exhorte Poutine à reprendre les pourparlers sur l'Ukraine ». L'Allemagne s'oppose au plafonnement du prix du gaz dans l'UE Face à l'envolée des prix de l'énergie, « l'Allemagne se retrouve de plus en plus sur la défensive » face à ses partenaires européens qui souhaiteraient la mise en place d'un plafonnement des prix dans l'UE, commente le Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Refus donc catégorique de Berlin qui préfère « mettre en place son propre plan national de soutien à quelque 200 milliards d'euros », souligne Die Welt et qui plaide au niveau européen « pour des achats en commun de gaz d'ici 2023 auprès notamment de la Norvège ». Décision qui « pourrait être entérinée dès la semaine prochaine à Bruxelles », note de son côté Le Soir qui rapporte également l'inquiétude des 27 face au risque de « pénuries » cet hiver. ► À lire aussi : Pétrole: fuite détectée en Pologne sur un oléoduc reliant la Russie à l'Allemagne

À la Une: la dangereuse fuite en avant de Poutine après l'annexion d'une partie de l'Ukraine

Avec cette annexion formalisée aujourd'hui en grande pompe au Kremlin, « Vladimir Poutine choisi à nouveau l'escalade », dit le Guardian. « C'est la plus grande annexion militaire en Europe depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale », souligne de son côté le Times, au terme « de référendums bidon dans les territoires occupés ». Une « annexion brutale et illégale dénoncée par l'Occident » mais qui indique clairement que le président russe « est prêt à faire monter les enchères après 7 mois de guerre contre l'Ukraine », commente le New York Times, qui comme le Guardian estime « que cela confirme que la guerre sera longue », et que rien ne dit que « Poutine se contentera de s'arrêter aux frontières de ces quatre régions annexées ». « En faisant ainsi monter les enchères dans une guerre que la Russie a perdu, Poutine se retrouve dangereusement à cours d'option de sortie », s'inquiète également le Wall Street Journal, avec le risque « qu'il aille trop loin », « avec ses menaces de frappes nucléaires en défense de ces territoires nouvellement annexés ». Face à cette montée des périls « la seule réponse de l'Occident doit être encore et toujours la fermeté », souligne de son côté le Washington Post, qui note que « les États-Unis et les alliés entendent ainsi augmenter considérablement leurs pressions militaire, diplomatique et économique contre Moscou » en espérant « que cela finira par mettre Poutine dans une position intenable ». Même si le quotidien américain reconnaît « que cela ne risque sans doute pas de décourager Poutine dans l'immédiat ». Sous le choc de la mobilisation, les Russes n'ont pas le cœur à la fête « L'ambiance est assombrie par le mécontentement face à la mobilisation militaire », titre le Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, alors que « des dizaines de milliers de Russes ont déjà fui le pays ». « À Moscou, la peur commence à être palpable », rapporte de son côté le correspondant du Soir qui explique « comment le conflit en Ukraine est devenu ces derniers jours une réalité douloureuse pour la population russe, après 7 mois de virtualité lointaine ». Alors que « certaines mères et épouses vont elles-mêmes acheter casques et uniformes pour leurs hommes, d'autres s'épuisent à faire le tour des bureaux administratifs et des cabinets médicaux en quête d'un document salvateur permettant une exemption », rapporte encore le correspondant du Soir. Même la presse russe rapporte le désespoir des mères. « Je ne réalise pas encore qu'il va partir et du coup qu'il ne reviendra pas », se désole ainsi l'une d'entre elle dans le quotidien Kommersant. Selon un sondage « plus de la moitié des Russes avouent avoir ressenti de la crainte et de l'anxiété après l'annonce de la mobilisation », rapporte le Guardian. Et « la peur s'est encore accrue après les menaces nucléaires de Poutine », note encore Le Soir qui cite un ancien haut responsable du Kremlin pour qui « s'il voit qu'il perd, Poutine n'aura que 2 solutions : le suicide ou une frappe nucléaire ». La Floride complètement dévastée après le passage de l'ouragan Ian Un « super ouragan » sans doute la « pire tempête jamais enregistrée aux États-Unis en 500 ans », dit le Wall Street Journal qui à l'instar de l'ensemble de la presse internationale affiche en Une des images impressionnantes de destructions, et de villes noyées sous les eaux. L'ouragan a tracé « un chemin stupéfiant de ruines » à travers la Floride, commente de son côté le New York Times qui s'inquiète d'un « bilan très lourd » sur le plan humain, mais également en perspective de la reconstruction alors « que moins de 20% des habitants qui ont été évacués sont couverts par une assurance contre les inondations ». « Le bilan financier du changement climatique pourrait ainsi venir ruiner des millions de ménages américains », s'alarme le quotidien américain. Brésil : Lula grand favori de la présidentielle face à Bolsonaro « Le vétéran de la gauche brésilienne pourrait faire un retour fracassant dimanche », titre le Guardian qui souligne que « 20 ans après sa première élection à la présidence, Lula, 76 ans, semble prêt à battre le président sortant d'extrême-droite Jair Bolsonaro ». « Peut-même dès le premier tour », dit El Pais « s'il arrive à vaincre l'abstention » ce qui permettrait d'éviter « toute frayeur pendant le long mois qui précède le second tour ». La grande crainte, souligne le Washington Post, est que Bolsonaro n'agite très vite en cas de défaite « des accusations de fraude » et n'encourage ses partisans « à descendre dans la rue et à provoquer des troubles ». Dans un pays « hanté par les coups d'État », l'affrontement actuel et le niveau de détestation entre les deux hommes « laisse redouter une possible instabilité politique au Brésil dans les prochains mois ».

C'est ce qu'on appelle changer son fusil d'épaule, ou plutôt retourner sa veste. Car après avoir longtemps limité l'usage des cryptomonnaies, le gouvernement russe s'apprête à y avoir recours pour ses échanges à l'étranger, et ainsi contourner les sanctions des pays occidentaux.D'après l'agence de presse russe Interfax, le ministère des Finances et la banque nationale de Russie auraient trouvé un accord pour utiliser des monnaies virtuelles dans le cadre d'échanges commerciaux internationaux. La grande question est de savoir pourquoi cette annonce est si tardive, pourquoi elle n'a pas eu lieu plus tôt ?

À la Une: des milliers de Russes s'enfuient à l'étranger pour échapper à la guerre en Ukraine

Cela fait la Une de l'ensemble de la presse internationale, « les hommes s'empressent de fuir la Russie plutôt que d'aller combattre en Ukraine », titre le Times qui décrit « l'onde de choc provoquée par la mobilisation des réservistes » avec ces images des longues files d'attente de voitures aux frontières du pays. C'est « la grande panique », dit de son côté le New York Times « alors que les Russes se croyaient à l'abri des lignes de front », les voilà menacés par le « chaos de la guerre », et beaucoup de ceux qui s'enfuient, souligne le quotidien américain, le font par peur « que le gouvernement n'impose de nouvelles restrictions de voyage ». « La crainte est également que la mobilisation soit plus large que prévue, bien au-delà des réservistes », note de son côté le Wall Street Journal qui souligne « que Poutine n'a d'ailleurs fait aucune mention d'une quelconque limitation du nombre d'hommes, ni même des conditions d'admissibilité au service militaire ». Dans la presse les témoignages sont nombreux de ces jeunes gens convoqués qui n'ont pourtant « jamais servi dans l'armée »; C'est le cas de Viktor un informaticien moscovite de 32 ans, qui dans le Times se désole, « qu'est-ce que je peux faire ? je n'ai pas d'autre choix que d'y aller ». Pareil pour Glev 26 ans, qui confie au correspondant du Soir que les officiers recruteurs ne lui ont laissé le choix « qu'entre la guerre ou la prison ». Et le voilà donc parti, « baluchon sur le dos vers une caserne de la grande banlieue de Moscou ». Entre les soldats mobilisés et ceux qui s'enfuient « on assiste peut-être à une nouvelle fuite des cerveaux » qui pénalisera le pays, commente le Guardian, alors que le journal russe Kommersant fait de son côté état de l'inquiétude des compagnies aériennes « alors les pilotes et les contrôleurs aériens généralement formés dans des écoles militaires commencent à recevoir leurs ordres de mobilisation ». Entre mobilisation et menaces nucléaires, Poutine commence à inquiéter Pékin « La Chine commence à perdre patience », titre le Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung qui en veut pour preuve les appels de la diplomatie chinoise qui réclame « non seulement à un cessez le feu mais également à une solution rapide qui tienne compte « des préoccupations légitimes de sécurité de toutes les parties ». Comme l'Inde qui juge également que « la guerre est une erreur », souligne encore le quotidien allemand, les alliés de Poutine « prennent leur distance ». Dans le South China Morning Post un analyste chinois explique ainsi « qu'en raison de son escalade guerrière la Chine n'a pas d'autre choix que de s'éloigner un peu plus de Poutine ». Pas de rupture avec la Russie, insiste de son côté le Global Times, mais sans nommer Moscou le quotidien nationaliste fustige avec des mots très durs « les menaces de guerre nucléaire ». « L'arme nucléaire n'est en aucun cas une grenade qu'on peut attacher à sa ceinture et dégoupiller au gré de ses envies de faire peur aux gens », assène le quotidien « car en matière de guerre nucléaire il n'y a de pilule pour les regrets ». La France inquiète de la victoire annoncée de l'extrême droite en Italie Et c'est la presse italienne qui se fait l'écho de cette inquiétude qui s'est emparée de toute l'Europe et notamment de Paris, dit La Stampa qui publie une longue interview de Stéphane Séjourné, le chef de file du parti d'Emmanuel Macron au Parlement européen qui « redoute que l'arrivée de Giorgia Meloni au pouvoir ne fasse dérailler la voie des réformes entamées au sein de l'UE » et que « l'Italie ne s'aligne aux côtés de la Hongrie d'Orban ». « Mais pas question de rupture avec Rome », explique de son côté La Repubblica qui cite une source gouvernementale française pour qui « une rupture avec l'Italie serait un cadeau supplémentaire fait à Poutine ». Il n'empêche que le président Macron « mesure le piège dans lequel il risque de se retrouver », souligne le quotidien italien « en normalisant ses relations avec Meloni et son allié Salvini, il donnerait à l'extrême droite française, à Marine Le Pen, un véritable avantage politique ». Après deux ans et demi de fermeture, le Japon rouvre grand ses frontières « Pour les voyageurs vaccinés ou bien muni d'un test négatif, les frontières rouvriront enfin le 11 octobre prochain », se réjouit l'Asahi Shimbun. Une décision prise « alors que les cas de Covid sont à leur plus bas niveau » -explique le New York Times mais également « alors que le yen est en chute libre »; moins 20% par rapport au dollar depuis le début de l'année, « le retour des touristes », espère le Japon Times « pourrait donner un coup de fouet à l'économie en relançant les secteurs lucratifs du tourisme et de l'hôtellerie ». Avant la pandémie, en 2019, note encore le quotidien nippon, le Japon avait accueilli « près de 32 millions de visiteurs étrangers, rapportant près de 34 milliards d'euros » à l'économie nationale.

Il l'a dit lui-même « ce n'est pas du bluff » et « cette menace du président russe ne peut être écartée avec désinvolture », dit le Guardian, « alors même qu'elle émane d'un dirigeant à la rationalité douteuse et redoutant de perdre la face ». « Cette fois il pourrait être sérieux », commente encore le quotidien britannique à l'instar du New York Times pour qui « Poutine désormais acculé est plus dangereux que jamais ». « L'horloge de l'apocalypse s'est remise en marche », dramatise de son côté la Repubblica qui voit la confrontation est-ouest « entrer dans une phase extrêmement délicate, avec le risque d'une guerre nucléaire ». « Même si elle devait se limiter à l'utilisation de bombes tactiques », dit l'éditorialiste italien, « ces bombes restent aussi dévastatrices que la bombe d'Hiroshima ». L'hypothèse d'une frappe terrestre n'est pas non plus complètement écartée par le Times, même si le quotidien britannique estime que « la Russie pourrait tout d'abord décider de faire exploser une bombe nucléaire tactique au-dessus de la mer Noire pour envoyer un message à l'Occident » et « tester ainsi sa réponse ». « Poutine veut faire peur aux Occidentaux », explique de son côté le Washington Post pour qui « il faut bien sûr se préparer à ce qu'il mette ses menaces à exécution ». « Mais la pire chose serait de se laisser intimider par ces menaces », souligne le quotidien américain qui insiste sur la nécessité de « ne pas céder » et de « continuer notamment à fournir encore plus d'aide militaire aux ukrainiens ». Les Russes « paniqués » après l'annonce de la mobilisation de 300 000 réservistes « Un vent de panique » hier à l'annonce de cette mobilisation « des manifestations ont ainsi éclaté dans une quarantaine de villes de Moscou à Ekaterinbourg dans l'Oural », rapporte Die Welt avec des slogans « anti-guerre » et souvent « anti-Poutine » . « Après avoir essayé pendant des mois d'ignorer la guerre en Ukraine, de nombreux Russes ont soudainement vu leur vie basculer dans le chaos alors qu'ils étaient convoqués pour prendre du service », commente de son côté le Washington Post qui souligne que ces manifestations « ont conduit à plus d'un millier d'arrestations ». Voilà qui explique la volonté de fuir d'un grand nombre de Russes « moins d'une heure après l'annonce de Poutine, les billets pour quitter Moscou à destination de la Turquie, de l'Azerbaïdjan et de l'Arménie affichaient complet », rapporte le correspondant en Russie d'El Pais qui souligne également que sur internet les recherches ont explosé avec les questions de « qui peut être mobilisé? » ou bien encore « comment se casser un bras ? ». Même parmi les députés de la Douma qui ont pourtant soutenu « l'effort de mobilisation du président », certains, dit le quotidien russe Kommersant, ont néanmoins tenu à expliquer « pourquoi ils n'iraient pas au front », mettant en avant qu'ils préféraient « rester à Moscou pour mieux servir les citoyens russes ». En Iran, la vague de protestation s'amplifie, durement réprimée par la police Six jours après le décès dans un commissariat de Mahsa Amini, arrêtée pour avoir mal ajusté son voile islamique, « la colère de la rue ne retombe toujours pas », dit le Guardian « des manifestations continuent de secouer le pays ». « Chaque soir des milliers de manifestants crient leur fureur contre le voile, contre la République islamique également », note The Australian qui rapporte à l'instar de la presse internationale, la répression de la police « qui n'a pas hésité à tirer à balles réelles » faisant déjà au moins 11 morts. « Cette manifestation ne ressemble à aucune autre », commente Die Welt , qui souligne que le régime des mollahs « est sérieusement ébranlé par ces protestations, alors que même que certains religieux demandent la levée de l'exigence du port du voile ». Pour autant, « il ne faut pas surestimer les chances de succès de ces manifestations », insiste le quotidien allemand « face à l'appareil de répression sophistiqué du régime qui n'hésitera pas à tuer des milliers de manifestants ». « Le courage de ces jeunes femmes et de ces hommes qui manifestent pour leur liberté n'en est que plus impressionnant », salue Die Welt. Donald Trump et trois de ses enfants poursuivis pour « fraude fiscale » Une « fraude fiscale géante, stupéfiante », selon les mots de la procureur générale de New York qui accuse « l'ancien président et trois de ses enfants impliqués dans l'entreprise familiale d'avoir sciemment menti aux prêteurs et aux assureurs en surévaluant frauduleusement ses actifs de plusieurs milliards de dollars », note le New York Times. La plainte au civil vise à « récupérer plus de 250 millions de dollars » et pourrait également « interdire à l'avenir toute activité de dirigeant d'entreprise à Trump et à ses enfants à New York », souligne de son côté le Washington Post qui rapporte la réaction outragée du jeune Donald Trump Junior dénonçant avec les mêmes mots que son père « une chasse aux sorcières de ces crétins de démocrates ».

Pas un seul quotidien dans le monde n'affiche en Une, ce 9 septembre, un portrait de la reine, et ne laisse place dans ses pages à un concert de louanges après la disparition de celle dont « le règne a marqué le monde », salue le Washington Post. Après « sept décennies sur le trône », dit le Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, « Elizabeth II était devenue une référence immuable dans une société en évolution rapide, un point d'ancrage pour les gens du monde entier ». Le Süddeutsche Zeitung pleure ainsi la mort de la « reine éternelle ». ► À lire aussi : Elizabeth II: le plus long règne de la monarchie britannique C'était « l'ange gardien du Royaume-Uni », estime même le quotidien russe Kommersant qui, à l'instar de la Repubblica salue « le sens du devoir inoxydable » de la souveraine qui jusqu'au bout de sa vie a tenté « de rassurer le monde avec son sourire pétillant et irrésistible ». Une émotion mondiale et surtout un chagrin britannique immense, « en faisant le deuil de la reine, nous pleurons aussi les pertes de nos propres vies », écrit le Guardian, « elle a incarné la nation pendant si longtemps que des millions de Britanniques ont mesuré leur vie à l'aube de la sienne et à celle de sa famille ». « Nos cœurs sont brisés », titre le Daily Mail. « Même si le Royaume-Uni s'était préparé à cette mort, c'est toujours un choc », compatit le Washington Post, pour qui la Grande-Bretagne pleure aujourd'hui « une vie de devoir et de service ». Une reine diplomate qui a conquis tous les puissants du monde Même si elle n'avait aucun pouvoir politique, la reine en tant que chef de l'État et du Commonwealth a été, au cours de son très long règne, « une diplomate discrète mais efficace qui pouvait fait fondre les dirigeants les plus intransigeants », souligne le Times « avec son magnétisme tranquille et sa capacité à surprendre ». « La fascination des dirigeants mondiaux pour l'aura d'Elizabeth II » était bien réelle, acquiesce El Pais. « Mais la reine ne faisait pas qu'écouter, elle a aussi défendu des idées politiques souvent bien plus progressistes qu'on aurait pu le croire », souligne le quotidien espagnol qui rappelle notamment « comment dans les années 1960, la reine s'était associée au Premier ministre Wilson pour empêcher l'indépendance de la Rhodésie [l'actuel Zimbabwe] tant que le régime raciste restait en place. L'apartheid de la Rhodésie a fini par tomber ». Elizabeth II qui n'a également pas hésité « à affronter sa Première ministre » Margaret Thatcher en 1986, « quand cette dernière s'était opposée aux sanctions exigées par le Commonwealth contre le régime raciste d'Afrique du Sud ». La reine, elle, a toujours maintenu des contacts indirects avec Nelson Mandela, rapporte El Pais et l'a reçu 10 ans plus tard en tant que président avec tous les honneurs à Buckingham Palace. « Mandela était la seule personne au monde que la souveraine avait autorisé à l'appeler Lizzie. » Si ses pouvoirs diplomatiques « ont été parfois mis à l'épreuve », note de son Guardian, « Elizabeth restera dans les mémoires comme une figure morale et une force de cohésion nationale ». Charles III va devoir sortir de l'ombre de la reine Et « ça ne va pas être facile », juge le quotidien allemand Der Neue Tag, à l'instar de The Independent qui estime même « que la mort de la reine soulève des questions fondamentales sur l'avenir de la monarchie », et cite un historien qui regrette que Charles « n'ait pas cet aura mystique qui entourait sa mère ». « Le problème de Charles est que nous le connaissons trop bien », explique également le Times, « après avoir passé des décennies à apprendre ses pensées, ses opinions, ses faiblesses, sans même parler des détails affligeants du feuilleton de sa vie personnelle », assène le quotidien. ► À lire aussi : Mort d'Elizabeth II: les pays du Commonwealth pleurent aussi la reine À 73 ans et après avoir passé « presque toute sa vie dans l'attente de devenir roi, Charles a hérité d'une monarchie qui doit relever le défi de respecter les traditions tout en s'adaptant à la Grande-Bretagne moderne », note de son côté le Wall Street Journal qui mesure la difficulté de ce début de règne pour un roi qui n'est pas « excessivement populaire ». Sa première tâche sera déjà « de diriger un pays en deuil », note de son côté le Guardian qui estime « que la perte de la reine et de sa puissante force unificatrice va mettre à l'épreuve une Grande-Bretagne en crise et divisée ». Cette « succession dynastique sera un test pour la cohésion de tout le pays », assure encore le quotidien britannique.

Si elle s'affiche encore souriante sur toutes les Unes de la presse internationale, après son élection le 5 septembre à la tête du Parti conservateur, la nouvelle Première ministre britannique Liz Truss « n'aura désormais aucun état de grâce » dit le Times. Elle va rentrer « directement dans le dur » prévient également le Guardian à l'instar du Wall Street Journal qui souligne que Liz Truss « hérite d'une économie britannique à genoux : sur le point de rentrer en récession, avec une inflation à plus de 10 % et des ménages britanniques au bord de la crise de nerf alors qu'ils doivent faire face à des factures d'énergie écrasantes ». « Un leader impopulaire dans un pays en grande difficulté », analyse également le correspondant à Londres du Washington Post qui rapporte « qu'une majorité de Britanniques pensent déjà qu'elle fera une mauvaise, voire une très mauvaise Première ministre ». Face à la « crise imminente », Liz Truss va en tout cas devoir agir vite, « mettre le pied sur l'accélérateur », titre le Sun à l'instar du Times qui redoute « des faillites en chaîne d'entreprises ». Elle pourrait d'ailleurs annoncer « dès cette semaine une intervention massive - à hauteur de 100 milliards de livres sur 2 ans », affirme le Financial Times. « Les factures d'énergie pourraient également être gelées jusqu'en 2024 », rapporte de son côté le Daily Telegraph. Une nouvelle « Dame de fer » plus pragmatique que prévu ? Face à cette « mission qui semble quasi impossible » de relever un pays au bord de l'effondrement, explique Le Temps, Liz Truss a prouvé dans son parcours politique « qu'elle pouvait faire preuve d'une adaptabilité sans pareil ». « La nouvelle Première ministre tient d'ailleurs plus du caméléon que de son idole Margaret Thatcher », estime le quotidien suisse, qui, comme l'ensemble de la presse internationale, met en avant « qu'elle est passée de la gauche à la droite conservatrice, d'anti à pro-Brexit et que pas plus tard que dimanche dernier, elle a tourné casaque quant à sa stratégie face au prix de l'énergie assurant qu'elle ferait passer un paquet d'aides dès sa prise de fonction ». « Une capacité à s'adapter précieuse face aux défis » estime également El Pais. « Une certaine forme d'opportunisme politique » analyse de son côté le Washington Post qui peut être « la poussera à adopter une approche plus pragmatique lorsqu'elle aura élu domicile au 10 Downing Street », espère le quotidien américain. ► À lire aussi : Royaume-Uni: Boris Johnson s'en va, Liz Truss s'installe à Downing Street Sur la scène internationale, Liz Truss suscite encore beaucoup de méfiance À commencer bien sûr par l'Union européenne, dont la patronne Ursula Von der Leyen a dès le 5 septembre, « exhorté Liz Truss à respecter l'accord du Brexit et à avoir une vision plus large de la relation entre la Grande-Bretagne et l'Europe », rapporte le Guardian qui note qu'en coulisses « les fonctionnaires européens ne s'attendent guère à une amélioration des relations avec Truss, qui a été l'architecte du projet de loi visant à annuler des aspects clefs du protocole nord-irlandais, au risque d'entraîner une guerre commerciale ». Côté américain, « Washington est convaincue qu'elle sera une alliée fiable », souligne encore le quotidien britannique. Même si elle a soigneusement entretenu ses relations avec le camp républicain, Liz Truss partage la même volonté que Biden « d'affronter et de contenir la Chine et la Russie ». Le Kremlin et Pékin qui sont vent debout contre la nouvelle Première ministre britannique. « Truss pourrait nommer des politiciens extrêmement anti-chinois pour gérer les affaires étrangères », s'alarme ainsi le quotidien de Hong Kong le South China Morning Post. « La Russie ne se fait aucune illusion sur l'ancienne ministre des Affaires étrangères britannique », raille de son côté le quotidien russe Kommersant qui redoute « des relations plus désastreuses encore qu'avec son prédécesseur Boris Johnson ». Dans ce concert de méfiance, l'Ukraine, elle a « offert un accueil exubérant à Liz Truss », rapporte encore le Guardian, « aussi populaire que Boris Johnson grâce à son soutien sans faille aux ukrainiens ». Les médias ukrainiens ont rapporté « que le premier appel de Truss sera destiné au président Zelensky », note le quotidien britannique. Les rendez-vous internationaux vont s'enchaîner pour Liz Truss Dès la fin du mois à l'Assemblée générale des Nations unies à New York, puis en novembre au G20 de Bali, « où de la guerre en Ukraine, à la crise énergétique mondiale en passant par la crise climatique, le monde attend un véritable leadership des grandes économies, dont la Grande-Bretagne », dit le Guardian. Et avant cela, précise Le Soir, « même si l'Union européenne n'est pas sa priorité, Liz Truss va devoir agir », alors même que « le 15 septembre, le Royaume-Uni devra répondre à l'action en justice lancée par l'UE concernant les modifications du protocole nord-irlandais ». ► À lire aussi : Royaume-Uni: «Boris Johnson va conserver un poids important»

Un « rapport accablant », dit le Guardian, tellement explosif « que la Chine a tenté jusqu'à la dernière minute d'empêcher sa publication », souligne le quotidien britannique ; peine perdue « Michèle Bachelet la haut-commissaire de l'ONU aux droits de l'homme l'a enfin rendu public hier soir, dans les dernières heures de son mandat ». Un rapport de 45 pages qui « n'utilise pas le mot « génocide » comme l'a qualifié Washington mais qui valide les accusations des groupes de défense des droits de l'homme concernant la répression chinoise contre la minorité musulmane ouïghoure dans le Xinjiang », note le New York Times. « Détention arbitraire, torture, viols, dans le nord-ouest de la Chine, Pékin pourrait ainsi avoir commis des crimes contre l'humanité », rapporte encore le quotidien américain qui assure « qu'au cours des 5 dernières années, la Chine a ainsi parqué environ un million de Ouïghours dans des camps d'internement qu'elle a qualifiés de centres de formations. Certains de ces centres ont été fermés, mais des centaines de milliers de personnes seraient encore incarcérés ». « Le rapport de l'ONU n'a pas peut-être pas la véhémence des enquêtes publiées par Amnesty international » note de son côté Le Temps « mais il demeure solide et risque de changer la donne au sein des Nations Unies », estime le quotidien suisse pour qui « il pourrait servir de base pour de futures enquêtes sur la question du Xinjiang ». De quoi enrager Pékin, qui ne décolère pas depuis la nuit dernière La Chine dénonce « une farce orchestrée par les États-Unis et plusieurs pays occidentaux » comme le rapporte le Global Times, le quotidien nationaliste chinois qui encourage d'ailleurs les États-Unis à plutôt « défendre les droits l'homme du peuple américain ». Pour la Chine, la publication de ce rapport intervient à un moment « extrêmement sensible », explique de son côté le Washington Post, « moins de 2 mois avant une réunion politique majeur pour le PC chinois au cours de laquelle Xi Jinping devrait se voir confier un 3ème mandat sans précédent, pour un président chinois ». La mission à haut risque des experts de l'AIEA en route pour la centrale de Zaporijia « C'est l'une des missions les plus complexes et les plus dangereuses de ce type jamais tentées », estime l'envoyé spécial du New York Times à Zaporijia qui rapporte comment « les 14 experts de l'agence internationale vont devoir franchir les lignes de front, en pleine zone de combat pour rejoindre la centrale nucléaire ». Alors même que l'Ukraine accuse la Russie de frappes d'artillerie, tandis que les Russes dénoncent l'envoi « de saboteurs ukrainiens » pour prendre la centrale « la traversée de cette zone tampon entre les 2 armées est ultra périlleuse », fait encore valoir le Times. « Un diplomate russe de haut rang a approuvé la volonté du patron de l'AIEA d'établir un présence permanente de surveillance à la centrale », note de son côté le Washington Post, qui souligne néanmoins que si « Moscou et Kiev ont garanti la sécurité des experts onusiens », les responsables pro-russes de la région « ont d'ores et déjà minimisé l'ampleur et la portée de la mission », souligne le Post. Visas européens : l'Ukraine déçue par le compromis de l'UE Alors que le président Zelensky avait réclamé « la fin des visas européens pour tous les citoyens russes », le compromis passé hier entre les ministres des Affaires étrangères des 27 sur « une suspension de la facilitation de l'octroi des visas avec la Russie », constitue « une demi-mesure », « insuffisante » a déploré le chef de la diplomatie ukrainienne, rapporte Le Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung qui souligne que « l'Allemagne et la France se sont opposés à une interdiction totale », que réclamaient notamment certains pays de l'Est. « C'est une demi-mesure » estime également le quotidien russe Kommersant qui explique « qu'en pratique, les citoyens russes devront seulement payer plus cher et attendre plus longtemps l'obtention de leur visa ». Et « il faudra sans doute plusieurs semaines avant que cette suspension soit mise en œuvre », estime encore Kommersant qui rapporte qu'au printemps dernier, « la Russie a de son côté annulé l'accord de facilitation des visas pour les diplomates et les journalistes d'une quarantaine de « pays hostiles ». Poutine n'assistera pas aux obsèques de Gorbatchev samedi à Moscou Cela répond à la question de se posait la presse internationale ce jeudi matin qui se demandait si «Gorbatchev bénéficierait d'obsèques nationales ou s'il subirait un dernier camouflet de la part de son successeur », notait The Guardian qui mettait en garde contre « la volonté de Poutine de reléguer la mémoire de Gorbatchev aux oubliettes de l'histoire ». Une décision qui était également très attendue en Allemagne où le patron de la CDU Friedrich Merz avait même hier recommandé au gouvernement fédéral « d'assister aux funérailles de Gorbatchev en cas d'obsèques nationales », rapporte Die Welt.

À la Une: Mikhaïl Gorbatchev, un «Européen qui parlait la même langue que le reste du monde»

Jusqu'à son dernier souffle, l'ancien secrétaire général du Parti communiste de l'Union soviétique, décédé mardi 30 août à l'âge de 91 ans des suites d'une longue maladie, aura « vécu une double réalité », constate le Guardian : « Aimé, célébré à Washington, Paris et Londres mais injurié par une large partie des Russes ». Avec des reproches de deux ordres : pour certains, sa politique de réforme et d'ouverture est surtout concomitante à une baisse drastique du niveau de vie. Pour d'autres, la « perestroïka » et la « glasnost » sont synonymes de la chute d'un empire auquel ils croyaient profondément. « La vieille sagesse dit que la route de l'enfer est pavée de bonnes intentions », avance RIA Novosti, l'une des agences de presse officielles russes, qui poursuit ainsi sa nécrologie : « Le destin historique de Mikhaïl Gorbatchev est une leçon pour tous les hommes d'État. Peu importe que vous ayez voulu sincèrement faire quelque chose de bien ou que vous ayez été guidé par des idéaux élevés. En fin de compte, seuls les résultats réels de vos décisions et de vos actions comptent ». Et ces résultats, selon RIA Novosti, sont la « catastrophe nationale » que fut l'effondrement en 1991 de l'URSS. « Merci Mikhaïl Gorbatchev » Au contraire, pour la presse critique du Kremlin, sans Gorbatchev, « une Russie moderne n'aurait guère été possible ». C'est ce que martèle Kommersant, qui salue la mémoire du « seul dirigeant soviétique à n'avoir pas quitté le pouvoir les pieds devant », c'est-à-dire dans un cercueil. « Il était un Européen qui parlait la même langue que le reste du monde. Il était facile pour lui de briser les murs », s'enflamme Novaïa Gazeta Europe, journal interdit de diffusion désormais en Russie, et dont le journaliste se rappelle cette « manifestation le 4 mars 1990, lorsque 200 000 personnes se sont rassemblées juste sous les murs du Kremlin. [...] Ils n'ont pas été mis dans des fourgons de police, ils n'ont pas été déclarés révolutionnaires, le KGB n'a pas ouvert un dossier [...] contre eux, ils n'ont pas été fouillés à six heures du matin, ils n'ont pas été licenciés ». « Merci Mikhaïl Gorbatchev », dit de son côté un ancien prisonnier politique soviétique. Natan Sharansky prend la plume dans le Washington Post. Il fut le premier libéré en 1986 par le dirigeant de l'URSS. À l'époque, il a refusé de remercier publiquement le leader communiste. « Il y avait encore trop de chemin à parcourir vers la liberté », dit-il. Il le remerciera plus tard, en face-à-face... Et aujourd'hui, au lendemain de son décès, Natan Sharansky le clame : Gorbatchev est « totalement unique ». « Produit du régime soviétique, membre de son élite dirigeante qui croyait en son idéologie et jouissait de ses privilèges mais qui a néanmoins décidé de le détruire. Pour cela, le monde peut être reconnaissant », conclut l'ancien dissident soviétique. « Gorbatchev a insufflé l'optimisme et a montré que la politique pouvait être exercée d'une manière différente, avec une autre vision de la réalité », s'exclame l'ancienne correspondante en URSS d'El País, dans les colonnes du quotidien espagnol. « Il croyait en une politique à visage humain et voulait rendre le monde plus sûr. Rien ne peut lui être plus étranger que la violence. C'est pourquoi, en décembre 1991, le président de l'Union soviétique de l'époque a refusé d'utiliser l'armée pour maintenir l'unité de l'empire-État qui s'effondrait », relate Pilar Bonet. Vu de Berlin, « l'homme qui a frappé aux portes de l'Histoire » « Gorbi, Gorbi »... « Il y avait du changement dans l'air » ce jour de juin 1989 sur la place de la mairie de Bonn, raconte Die Welt. La capitale de l'Allemagne de l'Ouest de l'époque accueille le « visage du Kremlin ». Ce « n'était plus celui d'un vieux fonctionnaire comme Leonid Brejnev ou Konstantin Tchernenko, avec leur langage sans émotion et plein de formules toutes faites. C'était un jeune homme politique, humain et ouvert ». Quelques mois plus tard, le mur de Berlin tombait, la réunification de l'Allemagne était en marche. Mikhaïl Gorbatchev est au contraire « une figure tragique » qui a « commis de graves erreurs », sermonne le Global Times, à Pékin. L'une des voix du Parti communiste chinois critique, sous le couvert d'interviews avec des experts, les conséquences de l'action du dernier dirigeant de l'URSS. « Un homme naïf et immature », admoneste le Global Times. Gorbatchev « a été trompé par l'Occident » et la Chine a des leçons à tirer de cette expérience, car c'est bien ce qui préoccupe le régime de XI Jinping. Un héritage qui fait écho avec la guerre en Ukraine Cette expérience de la fin des années 1980 et du début des années 1990, c'est aussi ce qui préoccupe le Kremlin. Et la guerre actuelle en Ukraine fait partie de la bataille que livre Vladimir Poutine pour défaire l'héritage de Mikhaïl Sergueïvitch Gorbatchev, souffle le New York Times. L'agence RIA Novosti affirme effectivement que « la transformation de l'Ukraine en un bastion nazi montre que le cycle infernal mis en branle il y a plus de trente ans est toujours en mouvement. La Russie doit, est obligée de l'arrêter, et elle le fera ». Avec la guerre en Ukraine, « la société russe d'aujourd'hui a appris en quelques mois à qualifier la guerre d'"opération spéciale" », soupire Novaïa Gazeta Europe. « En 2022, on peut donc imaginer l'explosion que représente à l'époque la glasnost de Gorbatchev après plusieurs décennies d'hypocrisie et de mensonges », conclut le journal russe d'opposition, comme pour mieux souligner la place, à part, de Gorbi dans l'Histoire. « Gorbatchev a soutenu les manifestants de Biélorussie et les militants des droits de l'homme de Memorial », se remémore le journal contestataire Meduza, qui poursuit : « Gorbatchev n'a pas commenté la guerre totale de la Russie avec l'Ukraine », mais son ami, le journaliste Alexeï Venediktov, a déclaré qu'il était contre la guerre : « Il ne s'est pas exprimé publiquement. Je peux vous dire qu'il est bouleversé. Naturellement, il comprend. C'était l'œuvre de sa vie. La liberté est l'affaire de Gorbatchev ».

À la Une: toujours l'inquiétude autour de la centrale de Zaporijjia

Si, comme le fait valoir le Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, « la situation reste opaque dans la plus grande centrale nucléaire d'Europe », occupée et contrôlée par les forces russes, mais toujours administrée par les ingénieurs ukrainiens, la certitude est que « la poursuite des combats met la centrale et une grande partie de l'Europe en danger », dit le Guardian, alors qu'un « accident nucléaire pourrait propager des radiations sur tout le continent ». Dès hier, le quotidien britannique mettait en cause la volonté des Russes de causer un incident « en bombardant les lignes qui relient la centrale au réseau ukrainien », et de fait, on a « frôlé la catastrophe », souligne de son côté le Washington Post « avec la déconnexion complète hier de la centrale pour la première fois en 40 ans de fonctionnement ». Et Washington de mettre en garde la Russie « contre toute tentative de détourner l'énergie nucléaire ukrainienne », note encore le Post, alors que « tout en accusant les forces ukrainiennes d'être à l'origine des bombardements », le quotidien russe Kommersant évoque également « la volonté des autorités pro-russes de Zaparijia de réorienter la puissance des centrales nucléaires vers la Crimée et les territoires contrôlés par la Russie ». Une mission de l'AIEA, l'agence onusienne à l'énergie atomique « est toujours en cours de négociation », rapporte le Guardian, les inspecteurs pourraient arriver « d'ici la fin du mois », note de son côté le Frankfurter, « une mission qui devient extrêmement urgente », a martelé hier le président Zelensky « avant que les occupants russes ne portent la situation à un point de non-retour ». Au 7e mois de guerre, Poutine décrète un renforcement de l'armée Le président russe, qui semble « se préparer à une guerre longue en Ukraine », dit le New York Times, et qui a donc « par décret hier ordonné un renforcement important des forces militaires », en augmentant « de 137 000 le nombre de soldats -pour porter à plus d'un million le nombre de combattants en janvier prochain ». Une expansion militaire qui montre surtout « les difficultés aiguës que traverse Moscou dans son offensive en Ukraine », commente encore le quotidien américain, « avec une absence de mouvement sur le front et surtout des pertes gigantesques ». « Jusqu'à 80 000 morts disparus et blessés confondus selon les responsables américains et britanniques ». « Sans renforcement de sa force de combat, la Russie ne pourra plus faire de progrès significatifs », analyse de son côté le Times qui rapporte que « déjà dans de nombreuses villes russes, des affiches invitent les hommes âgés de 18 à 59 ans à s'engager dans l'armée pour "défendre la patrie" avec à la clef la promesse de recevoir une prime de 100 000 roubles (à peu près 1 700 euros) et une solde de 4 300 euros par mois, soit cinq fois le salaire moyen en Russie », note encore le quotidien britannique. L'Espagne durcit sa législation contre le viol « C'est une étape historique dans l'histoire législative espagnole », se félicite El Pais après l'adoption hier par le Congrès de la loi intitulée « seul un oui est un oui », qui introduit « l'obligation d'un consentement explicite ». « Les femmes n'auront plus à démontrer qu'il y a eu violence ou intimidation lors d'une agression pour que cela soit reconnu comme une agression sexuelle », explique de son côté El Mundo. Une loi qui intervient « six ans après qu'une jeune femme a été violée dans le hall d'un immeuble par cinq hommes lors des fêtes de Pampelune », rapporte de son côté le New York Times, « parce que la victime, filmée par ses agresseurs, apparaissait immobile et les yeux fermés, ces derniers avaient dans un premier temps échappé à une condamnation pour viol », explique encore le Times, déclenchant un tollé et des manifestations en Espagne. Avec cette loi, « l'Espagne rejoint ainsi des pays comme le Canada, la Suède et le Danemark qui ont adopté une loi similaire sur le viol et le consentement », note le quotidien américain. Au Japon, les funérailles nationales de Shinzo Abe font polémique Abattu en juillet dernier alors qu'il prononçait un discours de campagne, Shinzo Abe continue à susciter la controverse. « Une pétition circule dans tout le pays pour s'opposer aux funérailles nationales, prévues le mois prochain de l'ex-Premier ministre », et le week-end dernier, « 1 200 personnes ont même manifesté à Tokyo », rapporte l'Asahi Shimbun, qui souligne sobrement que « les Japonais sont divisés sur l'héritage politique d'Abe, ses réalisations et les scandales dans lesquels il a été impliqué ». Selon un récent sondage, « 56% de la population rejette ces obsèques », qui coûteront « 250 millions de yens », près de 2 millions d'euros, note de son côté le Japan Times, entièrement pris en charge par le gouvernement « qui a invité plus de 6 000 personnalités ». Parmi lesquelles « Barack Obama, Kamala Harris et Emmanuel Macron qui prévoient d'assister aux obsèques », rapporte l'Asahi Shimbun.

À la Une: la suspension des livraisons de pétrole russe à certains pays européens

Comme hier mardi 9 août, entre la Grèce et la Turquie, c'est aujourd'hui encore une histoire d'hydrocarbures. « Le pétrole ne coule pas », lit-on sur le site d'Aktuálně en République tchèque. Même musique en Slovaquie : « Le pétrole a cessé de couler », écrit le site de Pravda. Depuis le 4 août, explique Aktuálně, « l'Ukraine a stoppé le transit du pétrole russe par la branche sud de l'oléoduc Droujba ». Cela fait donc six jours que les livraisons d'or noir ont été suspendues vers la République tchèque et la Slovaquie, mais aussi la Hongrie. La branche nord de l'oléoduc, elle, alimente toujours d'autres pays européens, comme l'Allemagne. La raison de cette coupure, développe Aktuálně, c'est que la facture du transit revient à l'opérateur russe Transneft, gérant les oléoducs, or, il ne peut payer en raison des sanctions européennes. « Le paiement d'août, envoyé en juillet à l'opérateur ukrainien UkrTransNafta a été restitué sur son compte », lit-on. Une coupure sans grandes conséquences Cependant, cette situation ne devrait pas avoir de lourdes conséquences. En Slovaquie, Pravda s'interroge : « que va-t-il se passer ensuite, quels sont les scénarios de crise ? » Le pays est « désormais confronté à deux scénarios : soit le différend financier entre l'Ukraine et la Russie est résolu et le pétrole continuera d'affluer vers le territoire slovaque, soit la Slovaquie devra recourir à ses réserves stratégiques de pétrole ». En République tchèque, un expert se veut rassurant : « les ménages et les entreprises ne sont pas en danger ». Ils ne seront pas touchés, assure-t-il, soulignant que Prague dispose de trois mois de réserves stratégiques et que Droujba n'est pas la seule voie d'acheminement du pétrole. Il partage l'optimisme de l'opérateur tchèque des oléoducs, ayant déclaré que les livraisons devraient reprendre dans quelques jours. Une solution serait déjà d'ailleurs sur la table. Le journal russe Kommersant l'affirme également : « Les livraisons devraient reprendre prochainement ». Un expert y explique que « le moyen le plus simple de sortir de cette situation » est de voir les destinataires du pétrole payer la facture à l'Ukraine pour le transit, et non la Russie, l'expéditrice. Or, toutes les parties se seraient entendues sur un tel dispositif, les autorités ukrainiennes ont accepté que les compagnies slovaques et hongroises règlent le transit. Mais Kommersant s'interroge également sur les motivations ukrainiennes dans cette affaire. « Au mois de mai, la conseillère du ministre ukrainien de l'Énergie, Olena Zerkal, a directement qualifié l'oléoduc Droujba de levier de pression sur la Hongrie », rappelle le journal russe. Alors, à première vue, « la situation ne ressemble pas à une décision politique prise par Kiev, mais plus simplement à la complexité de la bureaucratie », mais cela pourrait aussi être « une tentative de punir la Hongrie pour sa politique trop indépendante : le pays ralentit l'adoption du sixième paquet de sanctions et a veillé à ce que l'approvisionnement en pétrole "Droujba" soit retiré de l'embargo de l'Union européenne sur le pétrole russe », souligne encore Kommersant. Les nouveaux déboires de Donald Trump La presse américaine en parle évidemment, mais le dossier dépasse encore une fois largement les frontières. « Trump sur le sentier de la guerre », titre le Guardian au Royaume-Uni. Comme les journaux du monde entier, il revient sur la perquisition « sans précédent » du FBI dans la résidence privée de l'ancien président américain, Mar-A-Lago, en Floride. Les enquêteurs cherchaient des documents classés confidentiels que Donald Trump aurait pu emporter chez lui. Et cette descente a créé « une onde de choc » dans le système politique aux États-Unis, analyse le Guardian, redoutant notamment les « menaces de vengeance » de l'ancien président et de ses alliés républicains. En Italie, le Corriere della Serra titre ainsi sur « la fureur de Trump ». Mais en Belgique, Le Soir y voit quant à lui « une colère feinte » et se demande finalement si cette perquisition du FBI ne « serait pas un cadeau du ciel » pour Trump, qui se dit victime d'une persécution politique. Or, on sait que c'est justement son créneau. Pour La Vanguardia en Espagne, l'observation n'est pas nouvelle, mais elle est certaine : « Le bilan de Trump aggrave les divisions aux États-Unis ». Même constat d'ailleurs pour ABC, « cela divise encore un peu plus » le pays. La légende du tennis Serena Williams sur le départ On retrouve une autre Américaine dans les kiosques ce mercredi 10 août, et c'est bien la preuve qu'elle est une légende du tennis. Elle est presque partout. En Une du Times, du Daily Telegraph ou du Guardian au Royaume-Uni… En Une du Corriere della Serra ou de La Repubblica en Italie. On la voit même en Une du Financial Times et du Wall Street Journal, c'est dire ! La joueuse de tennis Serena Williams va tirer sa révérence. La championne américaine a annoncé qu'elle prendrait sa retraite possiblement après l'US Open. Et vu l'impact dans les kiosques aujourd'hui, on comprend que c'est une vraie légende qui s'en va.

"El gas ruso es insustituible en Europa"En un momento en que La turbina Siemens, que se convirtió en el motivo de la reducción del suministro de gas, fue enviada desde Canadá a Alemania citando sus fuentes. Según ellos, la turbina será transportada por ferry y por tierra a través de Helsinki a Rusia (la estación compresora se encuentra cerca del pueblo de Torfyanovka en la región de Leningrado). Se espera que el equipo llegue a Rusia alrededor del 24 de julio.Turbina atascada en Canadá debido a sanciones. Gazprom usó esto como excusa para cortar drásticamente el suministro de gas a Europa. Las autoridades europeas, sin embargo, no consideran motivos convincentes para reducir el suministro a través del gasoducto Nord Stream al 40% de la capacidad nominal. Tras negociaciones con las autoridades alemanas, Canadá acordó entregar la turbina, a pesar de sus sanciones, a Alemania, desde donde, como estaba previsto, la turbina debería regresar a Rusia. Este curso de los acontecimientos provocó una fuerte reacción de Ucrania. Creen que los canadienses no deberían haber violado su política de sanciones.El día anterior, el presidente Volodymyr Zelensky habló con el primer ministro canadiense, Justin Trudeau. "Agradecí a Canadá por su apoyo. Pero señaló especialmente que los ucranianos nunca aceptarían la decisión de Canadá con respecto a la turbina para Nord Stream, que se decidió transferir a Alemania en violación de facto del régimen de sanciones", dijo Zelensky en un mensaje de video. . Al mismo tiempo, Gazprom aún no ha confirmado que aumentará el bombeo a través de Nord Stream tan pronto como reciba una turbina reparada, señala Kommersant.

La Russie va légaliser le piratage des logiciels ?

Choses à Savoir TECH

Depuis le début du conflit Ukraine-Russie, les sanctions internationales et mesures économiques se multiplient pour tenter d'isoler le pays de Vladimir Poutine. Un isolement qui commence à se faire sentir en Russie puisque le président serait même prêt à légaliser le piratage dans son pays afin d'éviter que le secteur informatique ne soit totalement sous l'eau. De quoi parle-t-on concrètement ? C'est ce que je vous propose de voir dans cet épisode. Selon le journal russe Kommersant, le Kremlin réfléchirait à autoriser le piratage de logiciels informatiques. Une info repérée et relayée chez nous par Kyle Mitchell, avocat spécialisé des nouvelles technologies. En clair, une telle mesure serait la conséquence directe de l'inquiétude grandissante du secteur informatique russe face aux sanctions occidentales. À noter que ces derniers jours, Amazon est le dernier grand nom de la tech a avoir suspendu ses activités dans le pays, de quoi grandement pénaliser la tech russe, que ce soit pour le commerce ou bien pour les serveurs d'Amazon Web Services qu'elle pouvait utiliser. Pour être clair, autoriser le piratage de logiciels ne serait pas une riposte frontale aux sanctions, mais bien une tentative pour devenir indépendant de l'occident dans ce domaine. Selon le quotidien russe que je cite « une telle mesure pourrait temporairement atténuer les conséquences suite au départ de la Russie de Microsoft, IBM, Oracle et compagnies ». À bien y regarder, une telle mesure est déjà prévue par la loi russe je cite « en cas d'urgence ». Concrètement, le Kremlin peut prendre des mesures sans l'accord des droits d'auteur et peut suspendre toute responsabilité pénale pour l'utilisation d'un logiciel sans licence par une entreprise russe. Alors pour être honnête, cette annonce met surtout en exergue le fait que Moscou est démuni sur ce terrain. En effet, il ne faut pas oublier que de plus en plus de logiciels sont vendus en tant que service et ne fonctionneront pas sans un accès aux serveurs de l'éditeur. Si l'on regarde encore un peu plus en profondeur, la situation autour des logiciels libres inquiète également les autorités, puisque GitHub, principale plateforme d'hébergement de projets open source, est une filiale de Microsoft. Je vous l'ai dit précédemment, Microsoft a cessé ses activités en Russie il y a peu. Ceci dit, l'entreprise américain a déclaré que les développeurs russes auront toujours la possibilité d'accéder à GitHub. Face à ce qui ressemble à une épée de Damoclès prête à s'abattre sur l'informatique russe, le gouvernement de Vladimir Poutine réfléchit à créer sa propre plateforme de partage open source similaire à celle de Microsoft.

#shib #shiba #shibcoin #shibarmy #bitcoin #btc #ethereum #crypto #solana #cardano #cryptonews #crypto #xrp #ripple #matic #polygon #metaverse #nfts El presidente ruso, Vladimir Putin, les ha dado a los entusiastas de las criptomonedas un rayo de esperanza para el futuro de los activos digitales en el país, que se han visto amenazados por un reciente impulso para prohibir las criptomonedas y la minería. El líder del hombre fuerte abrió una videoconferencia el miércoles con miembros del gobierno ruso diciendo que le gustaría "comenzar con un tema que actualmente está en el centro de atención: la regulación de las criptomonedas". “Por supuesto, aquí también tenemos ciertas ventajas competitivas, especialmente en la llamada minería. Me refiero al excedente de electricidad y al personal bien capacitado que hay en el país”. El gobierno y el banco central de Rusia han llegado a un acuerdo sobre cómo regular las criptomonedas, según un anuncio del martes . El gobierno y el banco central de Rusia ahora están trabajando en un proyecto de ley que definirá las criptomonedas como un "análogo de las monedas" en lugar de los activos financieros digitales que se lanzarán el 18 de febrero. Las criptomonedas funcionarían en la industria legal solo si tienen una identificación completa. a través del sistema bancario o intermediarios autorizados. Kommersant señaló que las transacciones de Bitcoin ( BTC ) y la posesión de criptomonedas en la Federación Rusa no están prohibidas; sin embargo, deben realizarse a través de un "organizador de cambio de moneda digital" (un banco) o un intercambio entre pares con licencia en el país. El informe también destaca que las transacciones de criptomonedas de más de 600.000 rublos (aproximadamente $8 000) tendrían que declararse; de lo contrario, podría ser considerado un acto delictivo. Aquellos que acepten ilegalmente criptomonedas como pago incurrirán en multas. Esta noticia llega después de meses de especulaciones sobre cómo el gobierno ruso manejará las monedas digitales. Si bien aún no está claro qué significará esta decisión para las empresas y los ciudadanos en Rusia, parece que el país se está acostumbrando lentamente a la idea de las criptomonedas.

Antriksh Matters: Russia’s in Cooperative Mood on Space Stations— Aditya PareekDespite the ubiquity of remotely operated space vehicles, inhabited orbital stations remain a symbol of prestige and scientific endeavour. In Russia’s case, much of its spacefaring tradition is tied to its history as a pioneer of the final frontier. Russia has continued to support the International Space Station(ISS) and has launched another module, this time a docking node called “Prichal”, the Russian word for pier. The Prichal is the second module launched and successfully integrated to the ISS by Russia this year, and according to RIA Novosti it might be the last one Russia has planned for the ISS as of now. The Prichal has five docking slots that can accommodate cargo and crew spacecraft wishing to dock to the ISS. It is also interesting that Russian state space company ROSCOSMOS, according to another RIA Novosti article, is in discussions with NASA on how SpaceX’s Crew Dragon can dock with Prichal. According to the article: a docking interface, that is, a special adapter, would be required for American spacecraft.ROSCOSMOS has acknowledged the revolutionary role SpaceX has played in bringing new efficiencies to spacefaring. Significantly for the Russians, SpaceX has given NASA an alternative to the Soyuz missions for sending crews and cargo to the ISS. Only India among the BRICS can HelpWhile Russia has not closed the door on the ISS, it has nevertheless started pursuing its own alternative, a unilateral space station tentatively called “Russian Orbital Service Station (ROSS)”. The project was at one point envisioned to be undertaken with BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India and China) partners. However, no significant support in terms of financial commitments came through from BRICS or any other partners. Now ROSCOSMOS is moving ahead with the design of ROSS with Russian state funding.Furthermore, China has started assembling its own unilateral space station, the “Tiangong” with its core module “Tianhe” already operational in orbit.Brazil and South Africa do not seem to have similar financial wherewithal or short-medium term ambition on sustained human presence in orbit. That leaves only India. The country’s human spaceflight efforts are set to begin with the Gaganyaan mission which, as ISRO chairman Dr. K. Sivan recently said, is a major thrust area for international cooperation, especially with Russia. It would be interesting to see if Russia is able to persuade India to work with it on a joint space station derivative of, or integrated with, ROSS project.According to a report in Russian business newspaper Kommersant, Russian Ambassador to India Nikolai Kudashev said India and Russia are also discussing joint production:The ambassador also noted that in the field of space, Russia and India "are discussing not only the supply of engines, but are also talking about joint engine building, joint development of launch vehicles - heavy, light and ultralight, joint creation of satellites.”The ambassador also indicated joint Lunar exploration is still on the Russia-India agenda, though this was yet to be discussed in detail by both countries.If you like the content of this newsletter consider signing up for our Post-Graduate Programme in Public Policy (PGP).

At the heart of this was quantum innovation and research. Apart from allocating funds for a long-term quantum mega project, President Xi also announced the establishment of a National Laboratory for Quantum Information Sciences. An announcement made by a group of Chinese scientists in late 2021 buttresses the country’s growth in the field. They declared the creation of a quantum communication network in space using their quantum satellite to secure the national power grid against blackouts and other long-distance attacks. This is a massive leap forward in building secure communication networks using quantum science and technology. It also underlines the strides made by China in the field and the significant advantage it has gained over its competitors in the recent past. It was in 2008 that a certain Pan Jianwei returned to China in the hope of facilitating quantum research in the country. Hailed as the ‘Father of Quantum Physics’ in China, Jianwei founded a lab at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) dedicated to achieving quantum breakthroughs. This ushered in a quantum revolution in the country with extensive research projects on quantum science, especially communications, taking shape. This focus on quantum communications resulted in advanced telecommunications and cryptography systems being developed by the scientific community in the country.The Beijing-Shanghai communication line, which was opened in 2017, was a result of this decade-long quantum research. It was hailed as the world’s longest un-hackable communication line. Though not a fully realised quantum connection, the line is divided into multiple nodes (based on the distance traveled by each photon before succumbing to noise) which provided a high level of security. China also launched the world’s first quantum satellite in 2016 that was pushed to a higher orbit for a wider coverage to develop the quantum internet. The satellite programme was started in the hope of securing communications between military outposts, embassies, government bodies, and financial institutions. These advancements have effectively made China the global leader in quantum communications. In terms of quantum computing and its applications, China was behind the United States in both investments and technological superiority until this year. The revealing of Zuchongzhi, a Chinese-made quantum computer comprising of superconducting 66 qubits easily surpasses the speed and computing power of Google’s quantum computer, Sycamore. There was also a major improvement to their photonic quantum computer raising the number of qubits from 76 to 113. Owning two of the fastest computers in the world, China now is the only country to achieve a quantum advantage in both photonic and superconducting quantum computing. With China pulling ahead in the quantum race, there are also threats of the Chinese government exploiting and weaponising critical quantum technologies for military purposes. This would mean that the Chinese military might develop capabilities to neutralise many offensive and defensive military technologies of its rivals. A Chinese company, Electronic Technology Group Corporation, has claimed having developed Quantum Radar which is supposedly capable of determining the type of airplane and the weapons the airplane is carrying. This would render any stealth technology useless. The Chinese National Academy of Science has reported the development of a quantum submarine detector using extremely sensitive sensors called SQUIDs (Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices). This has the ability to detect a submarine from a long distance away creating limitations for all opposing forces. If these technologies are functional as the Chinese claim, the possibility of China gaining a military quantum advantage is imminent. China has definitely made incredible progress in building its quantum ecosystem. With quantum research driven by the state and concentrated in a few university research labs, the funding provided by the Chinese government consistently remains on the higher side. This has resulted in critical breakthroughs in the domain. However, inherent challenges remain for China to navigate before officially winning the quantum race. CyberPolitik #1: DCNs Reporting for National Security Duty — Prateek WaghreIn August 2021, the actions that the likes of Facebook, Twitter were about to take (or not take / or had not taken in the months/year before it) in the aftermath of the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan were the subject of intense scrutiny and debate. These were yet another reminder of how entangled DCN firms are in decisions that have significant geopolitical implications as well as the national security of individual states.Literature on the role of DCNs primarily invokes the lenses of competition, privacy and speech. However, a recent paper, ‘National Security by Platform’ by Elena Chachko, proposes a framework for analysing their role in the privatisation of national security functions.Before going into the framework, there are some key points the paper makes which are worth considering upfront. I’ve paraphrased my interpretation here:Ad hoc developments: The growing role of DCN firms in geopolitics and national security weren’t the product of a deliberate, consensus-building exercise. Instead, these were ad hoc, piecemeal and incremental steps in response to significant events such as terrorist attacks, concerns over election integrity, etc.Contradiction with Competition: While competitive markets envisage many private firms taking part, a market with a limited set of large-scale operators is better suited for cooperation with the national security apparatus and rapid, uniform responses/actions.DCN capabilities and intent: Are DCN firms capable of meeting national security challenges, and are they likely to prioritise addressing them over profits?Chachko makes the following points about the relationships between DCN firms and governments (I’ve separated them into bullet points for better readability) :… Involve threat analysis and policy development cooperation, information sharing, and platforms replicating government practices and methods. A mutually beneficial, at times even symbiotic, relationship has emerged between platforms and government agencies in addressing certain important national security and geopolitical challenges. On other fronts, however, platforms and government have clashed.These trends can be considered to be forms of ‘indirect, informal national security privatization’, and proposed the following categories:A. Hard Structural ConstraintsThere can be institutional or constitutional limitations/constraints on state actors. For example, state actors likely have neither the capability to detect/respond to sophisticated disinformation operations nor the authority to control what information can or cannot be posted/shared in other jurisdictions. DCN firms, on the other hand, exercise more control over these spaces (at least the ones they operate) and have the tools/capabilities/expertise to understand these threats better than state actors. This creates a need for state actors to rely on private actors.B. Bureaucratic WorkaroundsEven in the absence of ‘hard constraints,’ state actors may choose to rely on / cooperate with DCN firms to work around legal/administrative requirements and/or political opposition, speed up response times, limit the visibility of their role, etc.Both categories A and B require varying degrees of cooperation between state actors and DCN firms. They are also not mutually exclusive. C. Platforms as SubstitutesIn cases of inaction by state actors, or when their desired/preferred actions are at odds with government policy prescriptions/direction, DCN firms may resort to acting unilaterally, essentially substituting for state actors.And while privatisation in the context of national security, both formal and informal, are not unique to platforms, Chachko argues that it is the change in scope that is significant:The breadth of security and geopolitical policy and execution discretion that platforms currently exercise is striking. Questions such as what to do about genocide in Myanmar, what kinds of coordinated behavior constitute security threats and require enforcement, what foreign government blowback might ensue following such enforcement, what is necessary to secure the Indian election and protect its integrity, how to respond to Turkish demands to silence opposition,or what constitutes credible information about COVID-19 are complex and open-ended. They require far broader and more diverse expertise and greater exercise of policy discretion than identifying individual terrorism suspects or monitoring violent groups, finding breaches of computer systems, exposing zero-day vulnerabilities, or even attributing computer breaches to perpetrators.CyberPolitik #2: Consider the benefits of Digital Communication Networks— Sapni G KThis entry is adapted from one of the sections of a forthcoming discussion document by Prateek Waghre and Sapni G K on the opportunities and benefits associated with Digital Communication Networks.As Prateek had written in the previous issue of this Newsletter, the discourse around Digital Communication Networks (DCN) tends to be dominated by the harms they have caused. Literature around DCNs focuses heavily on the myriad of troubles they have exacerbated with little consideration of their benefits, particularly from the Indian perspective. In our latest discussion document, we attempt to examine the potential opportunities and benefits that could be attributed to DCNs. We broadly look at how DCNs interact with the market and the society at large. In this section, I will write about the interaction between DCNS and the market, which has contributed to the creation of new economic opportunities and efficiencies.DCNs have facilitated the growth of business models that were thought to be highly improbable or previously associated with high transaction costs. This includes the booming creator economy with its turbocharged growth during the pandemic. They even enabled new job categories such as social media managers and curators, which did not exist in the world before DCNs. They also help many people to reach out to their extended networks for job opportunities, which has facilitated the freelance economy. Since DCNs transcended geographies and economic divides, a range of new opportunities was created and amplified. This benefitted Indian businesses in multiple ways. Their operations were globalised, with small and medium enterprises also eyeing the global market. Analytics and visualisation tools that are a part of most DCNs helped firms understand trends in real-time and modify their business practices. DCNs also facilitated the opening up of entirely new markets, such as the thrifting- used clothes retail, that has historically been looked down upon. The advertisement model that DCNs presented helped businesses to move into targeted marketing. Many DCNs operate on the advertisement-supported business model where they provide access to their services in return for tracking users’ activities, both on and off the platforms, and serving them targeted advertisements.Calculating the economic efficiency of different domains is an inherently difficult task. At the level of algorithm design, calculations have historically considered informativeness as the near equivalent of economic efficiency. Through the document, we identify increased informativeness and online social graphs as tools for creating economic efficiency, which has led to the compounding of benefits created by DCNs. While the points mentioned above only represent a small portion of our document, they serve the purpose of reiterating why it is important to reorient our perspectives on conversations about the governance of DCNs. We argue that these cumulative benefits should not be lost out as proposals for governance and regulation are presented across the globe. India, in particular, has benefitted immensely from DCNs, and caution must be exercised when we think of regulating them.You can read the entire document here.

Siliconpolitik: India and Taiwan Want to Complement Each Other’s Strengths — Arjun GargeyasThere were reports earlier this month that Indian and Taiwanese officials had met to discuss the possibility of a $7.5 billion investment in India by the Taiwanese government and its premier semiconductor foundry, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). This was to set up a long-pending state-of-the-art semiconductor manufacturing facility in the country. While India has been strong at semiconductor IC design, it has also made efforts to create a presence in fabrication. Taiwan, on the other world, dominates the semiconductor manufacturing market, with two of its major companies, TSMC and UMC, jointly accounting for over 60% of the global revenue in manufacturing and fabrication. With Taiwan’s presence in the semiconductor IC design also growing gradually with companies like MediaTek looking to challenge the fabless American firms, the Indian semiconductor fraternity’s experience in the design cycle is attractive for Taiwanese design firms looking to upscale their operations.Semiconductor manufacturing has been at the heart of a possible technology alliance between the two states. However, with both India and Taiwan having their own comparative advantages in the semiconductor industry, there is significant potential for collaboration in other areas of the semiconductor supply chain. Research and Development: The government of India has, for a long time, envisioned setting up a semiconductor fabrication facility in the country that can indulge in cutting-edge research. Its attempt started way back in the 1980s with the establishment of the Semiconductor Company Limited (SCL). But a major fire and sluggish innovation have now restricted SCL to research in specific fields like space technology. Taiwan’s semiconductor success story lies in its consistent investments, funded by the Taiwanese government itself in research and development to improve semiconductor manufacturing processes. India and Taiwan should look to invest in an R&D center that can bring together both semiconductor firms and universities from both states.Design: Though Taiwan’s stranglehold over the semiconductor industry originates from its ‘Pure Play Foundry’ business model focusing on manufacturing semiconductors for its clients, the IC design ecosystem in the country has gradually grown, dominated by firms like MediaTek. However, these semiconductor design firms indulge in the low-cost design of trailing edge nodes as an alternative to the Western companies’ products. The major market for Taiwanese design firms remains the Chinese mainland. With relations deteriorating between the two countries, Taiwanese firms will look at alternative markets. India, with its ever-increasing demand for high technology products, can step into the role. A thriving semiconductor design services market in the country can also help Taiwanese firms reach the level of American firms with the Indian workforce’s expertise in the field.Assembly and Testing: While India’s ambitions to invest in a semiconductor fabrication facility are commendable, the costs associated with semiconductor manufacturing remain very high. Exorbitant equipment costs and the need to pump in investments regularly can hamper India’s plan to become a major player in the foundry business. Instead, India, which has already gained expertise in downstream assembly and testing processes can look at Outsourced Assembly and Test (OSAT) opportunities. With low-skilled labor only needed, unlike semiconductor manufacturing, India can serve as a source of low cost and low skilled labor for Taiwanese firms like ASE Technology and Powertech Technology, which look to outsource such operations offshore. The Indian government’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has also released schemes like SPECS to attract foreign firms for OSAT operations. The Scheme for Promotion of Manufacturing of Electronic Components and Semiconductors (SPECS) will provide a financial incentive of 25% on capital expenditure for the identified list of electronic goods that comprise downstream value chain of electronic products, i.e., electronic components, semiconductor/ display fabrication units, ATMP units, specialized sub-assemblies and capital goods for manufacture of aforesaid goods, all of which involve high value-added manufacturing. India and Taiwan’s technology trade has gradually increased in the last two decades. With increasing technological cooperation between the two countries, the semiconductor industry, and both their complementary strengths in it offer a great opportunity for better collaboration in the domain. This can cover a wide area in the supply chain, going beyond just the talk on semiconductor manufacturing and fabrication facilities.

Yogakshema: Is it Worth Debating Responsible Behaviour in Cyberspace and Outer Space?— Aditya PareekThe Japanese Defence Minister Nobuo Kishi recently remarked that "An invasion may begin without anyone realizing it, and a war may be fought without the use of military forces." The challenges Kishi alludes to are aggravated when taking hightech domains like cyberspace and outer space into account. There is a lot of shadowy, hard-to-attribute activity associated with rendezvous and proximity operations(RPO)s in outer space as well as in cyber attacks. With near misses in outer space and major attacks against infrastructure and finances via the use of cyberspace, a lot of finger pointing between states ensues.There is a multilateral push for figuring out rules of the road or more formally, to establish some mechanism to set norms for responsible behaviour in cyberspace and outer space. Two draft resolutions have been submitted to the UN General Assembly’s First Committee that try to address these topics. The first is earmarked as agenda item 95 titled “Developments in the field of information and telecommunications in the context of international security, and advancing responsible State behaviour in the use of information and communications technologies”. The second is earmarked as agenda item 98 (d) “Prevention of an arms race in outer space: reducing space threats through norms, rules and principles of responsible behaviours”.India and China are both absent from the list of sponsors of both resolutions for the moment, but this may change as the time nears for the UNGA to take a general votes on the resolutions.At first glance the subject and titles of the two draft resolutions might seem to be signalling some sort of consensus emerging in the UNGA simultaneously over norms of responsible behaviour in cyberspace and outer space. However, on closer study, the two draft resolutions are reflective of the same tense international relationships which are the cause for friction in these domains in the first place. On the draft dealing with cybersapce, as Elena Chernenko of Kommersant (a Russian business media outlet) points out in her reporting, The development of a joint draft document by Russia and the United States can be considered an important event, if only because in recent years the two countries have often acted in the UN as rivals or even adversaries. And the subject of cybersecurity, until recently, was no exception in this regard. As expected of a document prepared as a compromise between geopolitical adversaries, it features very amenable language while clearly highlighting that its contents are aimed at “voluntary, non-binding norms” which “do not seek to limit or prohibit action that is otherwise consistent with international law” in cyberspace.The draft dealing with responsible behaviour in outer space features sponsors countries that enjoy good relations with the US. Some of these sponsors are lesser adversaries in their own right to Russia, like the United Kingdom and Poland. The draft notably has several references to “a combination of legally binding obligations and political commitments” as being essential on issues ranging from “instruments on the prevention of an arms race in outer space” to a more broadly focused issue of “space security”. These references to legally binding obligations will likely dissuade a lot of state including some major powers that prefer to achieve their political goals via the use of asymmetric means. If a consensus is not likely and some major powers will continue to keep their options open, then the whole point of the resolutions becomes moot. Whatever toothless guidelines the resolutions incorporate will be ignored and worse may even be flouted, degrading the momentum and credibility of the international efforts that went in the drafting of these resolutions.Cyberpolitik: Going Meta— Sapni G KMired in controversy and bad press, the Facebook Company has been having some of the worst days of its existence. The last couple of months saw it facing suits that pushed for breaking up the company to whistle-blower revelations which contradicted multiple positions it took while addressing allegations raised against it. Amidst these serious allegations, it has also been trying to reinvent itself to attract and retain more users on its various platforms. After weeks of conversations led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg on the metaverse, the company has found a home in that idea to find a better future for itself.The term "metaverse" has its origins in Snow Crash, the 1992 dystopian science fiction novel by Neal Stephenson ( who clarified that he has got nothing do with the company). The book envisions metaverse as a full-fledged alternate reality built in a virtual space. Life is brutal on the metaverse, but it is worse in Snow Crash's real world. This virtual escape fuelled further science fiction writing on the idea, now culminating in the world's largest social media company changing its name to " Meta" to reflect its interest in building the metaverse future. Meta now holds the range of apps such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and technologies such as Oculus.In the keynote introducing Meta, Zuckerberg outlined his vision for the metaverse as a space different from the siloed worlds created by the social media age. He sees it as a collection of protocols that are interoperable and not owned by one company. Here users can jump into the virtual to connect with others and have experiences in different worlds. Meta is not pioneering the idea. Epic Games and Roblox have already created similar worlds, where some failed decades ago. However, it is trying to shift the status quo from today's walled gardens to open protocols. This is a huge leap in Meta's ethos (RIP the Facebook Company) which rallied ahead by creating siloed spaces. It is also reflective of how our platformised lives are moving further towards gamification.Critics and industry observers have called this a gimmick to divert attention from the pressing issues raised against the company. Even if that were the case, changing the name of the company will do little to save it from public ire and demands for addressing these concerns better. However, it is worth noting this change in priorities as we continue to look to fix the problems in the social media platforms. While Zuckerberg proclaimed that 'since the Metaverse isn't here yet, this offers a chance for policymakers to stop playing catch up with technology but direct its development and regulation', Meta would not be the desirable choice for many to drive this change. Its shady track record in norm-setting on platform governance only exacerbates worries.For India, this change might currently have no visible difference. Access to today's Metaverse is limited, mostly through expensive VR headsets. The penetration of such technologies in India is limited, though growing. However, learning from the smartphone boom, India could see this as an opportunity to amp up the capabilities in manufacturing of the devices and development of software that are necessary for interacting in the metaverse. The manufacturing and design economies can gain from this. A thriving design and manufacturing economy could also have knock-on effects creating more professionals who understand the functioning of the "metaverse" better. Finally, it can give India a seat on the table in virtual reality/metaverse regulation and policymaking, which in current nascent stages in restricted to China, the EU and, the USA.Yogakshema: Hyperbole Over Hypersonics — Aditya RamanathanIn a television interview on 27 October, the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark A. Milley acknowledged reports of recent Chinese tests of hypersonic weapons. Presumably seeking to strike a balance between underplaying and overplaying the significance of the tests, Milley described them as “a very significant event,” adding that “I don’t know if it's quite a Sputnik moment but I think it’s very close to that.”The cliche of a “Sputnik moment” refers to the dawn of the space age. The Soviet launch of the world’s first artificial satellite, on 4 October 1957, sparked fears in the US that it was being left behind, and spurred its own space programme. In the years since, politicians have used the phrase to evoke the sense of a much-needed wake-up call for the US . President Barack Obama called the recession of 2008-09 a “Sputnik moment” and Senator John Kerry used the term in the context of clean energy technology. Roger Launius, senior curator of the NASA museum’s space history division summarised the parable of the “Sputnik moment” the best:"A Sputnik moment is a trigger mechanism, an event that makes people collectively say that they need to do something, and this sets a course in another direction".Are China’s new capabilities significant enough for the US to rejig its defence priorities? Not quite. The Hypersonic Rationale: Let’s begin by trying to understand what exactly it was that China tested in July and August of this year. On 21 October, The Financial Times reported that China used a Long March rocket to launch a “fractional orbital bombardment” system that, in turn, carried a hypersonic glide vehicle. The Soviets experimented with fractional orbital bombardment systems (FOBS) in the 1960s. The broad idea of FOBS was to evade US early warning systems that were largely focused towards the North Pole. It would achieve this by launching a craft that would only complete a partial orbit before de-orbiting and plunging towards its target on Earth. Theoretically, a FOBS system would allow the Soviets to attack the US via the South Pole, and achieve complete surprise. The Soviets deployed small numbers of such systems for about two decades during the Cold War.That leaves us with hypersonic boost glide vehicles. While regular long-range ballistic missiles such as ICBMS use space as a rapid-transit zone to reach distant spots on Earth, boost glides fly at much flatter trajectories, below the 100-kilometre that marks the boundary between the upper atmosphere and space. The key advantages of boost-glides are that their flatter trajectories allow them to hide behind the Earth’s curvature for longer periods (thus delaying detection) and that navigation technologies allow them to manoeuvre unpredictably on their approach to a target, possibly making interception even harder. So why is China developing such systems? The short answer is the US ballistic missile defence (BMD) programme. And China is not alone in this effort. In 2018, Russia unveiled a series of experimental systems designed specifically to evade US ballistic missile defences. These included a long-range ballistic missile that could approach the continental United States via the South Pole as well as a cruise missile with a nuclear-powered engine that would give it unprecedented range. If the Russians and Chinese are resorting to such exotic weapons, we must ask two questions. One, are they the only solution for tackling US BMD? And two, do hypersonic boost glides have problems of their own?The Uncertain Glory of BMD: The current US BMD programme has its origins in 2002, when the country withdrew from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. The political pretext for this move was the 9/11 attacks. The technological rationale was the revolution in sensory and computing technology that allowed for far more accurate tracking and targeting of incoming missiles. Some also argue that US BMDs also continue to provide it with negotiating leverage in any future arms control talks.However, while US BMDs are far more effective today than they were even a decade ago, they still face two fundamental obstacles: they have at best a 50% chance of successfully intercepting a ballistic missile, and they’re far more expensive. In short, BMDs are expensive and only partially effective. US BMDs are not meant to defend against a full-fledged attack by another state; they’re only meant to stop stray missiles, either from a rogue launch or from the remnants of an adversary’s nuclear arsenal after most of it has been destroyed. The reality is that an arsenal of regular ICBMs, each with bristling with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs) and decoys is more than a match for BMDs. Exotic weapons like boost-glides are at best an augmentation to existing capabilities. The Limited Advantages of FOBS and Boost Glides: While FOBS and boost-glides may have their place, there’s a reason why the USSR did not rely heavily on such systems during the Cold War. FOBS weapons need a small rocket to de-orbit, meaning a reduced payload. And today’s boost-glides can carry only a single warhead. Therefore, a combined FOBS-boost glide system will only carry a single, relatively small warhead. Also, since boost-glides actually travel at lower speeds than ICBM warheads on re-entry, they may actually become easier to intercept in the future. The Prospects: Nothing is settled in the matter of long-range missiles. New developments could make boost glides and FOBS more accurate and capable of delivering greater payloads. BMD systems could also become more effective in the future. As of now, however, we must acknowledge that whatever China tested earlier this year, was probably not revolutionary, and hardly amounts to a Sputnik moment.Our Reading Menu[Opinon] Facebook and YouTube’s vaccine misinformation problem is simpler than it seems by Will Oremus on Wahsington Post [Opinons] Why Facebook has become Meta on Financial Times by Hannah Murphy and Madhumita Murgia[Book] Tiger Technology: The Creation of a Semiconductor Industry in East Asia [Article] Russia, China, The US: Who will win the Hypersonic Arms Race?

Siliconpolitik: Ab Dilli Door Nahin— Pranay KotasthaneReaders would've noticed that this newsletter bats for a Quad partnership on semiconductor supply chain security for geopolitical, geoeconomic, and technological reasons.In edition #5, we proposed what an 'announcement' on semiconductors as an outcome of the upcoming Quad leaders-level summit meeting, could look like. We wrote:One, announce a Quad Semiconductor Supply Chain Resilience Fund. Think of this as a multi-sovereign wealth fund but for semiconductor investments across the Quad countries. This fund could focus on two areas:create a roadmap for new manufacturing facilities across the Quad countries. One of the focus areas should be to secure supplies not just at the leading-edge nodes but also at key trailing-edge nodes, which will continue to remain workhorses for automotive, communications (5G), and AI.Sponsor new standard developments such as composite semiconductors and create one centre for excellence in each Quad country in an area of its immediate interest. For example, Australia could host the CoE for new materials in electronics, Japan could host the CoE for silicon manufacturing equipment, while the US and India could host CoEs on specific fabless design architectures.Two, and this one is an even more ambitious goal, facilitate strategic alliances between companies in the four quad states.So, we were glad to read Asia Nikkei's report claiming that a draft joint statement of the Quad summit seems to have identified semiconductors and 5G as two areas for technology collaboration.From an Indian national interest perspective, this collaboration should be used to get a semiconductor fab up and running, although at a matured node such as 65 nm. This move would minimise the risk of failures while ensuring India's core defence and strategic interests are secured.The AUKUS defence alliance has shown that the US is willing to share sensitive technologies with key partners, something it wasn't amenable to in the past. This new technology alliance mindset should become the norm in the Quad as well. India should push for the US to lower investment barriers and reduce export controls so that companies such as a rejuvenated Intel can consider setting up mature-node fabs in India, Japan, or Australia. The geopolitical timing couldn't have been better.We're keeping an eye on the Quad Summit. There will be another edition discussing the specific announcements on technology collaboration.Meanwhile, for a detailed take on a Quad partnership on semiconductors, read my paper here.If you are looking for a primer on semiconductor geopolitics, here's a recording of a session I participated in, for Ahmedabad University.Antriksh Matters #1: Where’s India’s Space Doctrine?- Aditya RamanathanIn the last few years, India has set up a tri-services Defence Space Agency to manage its military space capabilities. It has greenlighted the setting up of a Defence Space Research Agency that is to be “entrusted with the task of creating space warfare weapon systems and technologies". It has also engaged in dialogue with the US, Japan, and France on space security and has sought to increase its space situational awareness (SSA) capabilities, which are crucial to ensuring the safety of space-based assets. While these efforts are modest, they are likely to expand in the near future. What remains to be developed (at least in the public domain) is a doctrine that lays down the rationale for military space capabilities, and provides signposts for those crafting strategy or planning acquisitions. We at Takshashila took inspiration from India’s 1999 Draft Nuclear Doctrine, and put together a succinct, five-page “A Space Doctrine for India”, following many hours of debate and discussion. The doctrine, as we envisaged it, would be anchored in deterrence but would be flexible enough to keep India’s options open. The key objective would be to preserve India’s use of space. India’s space forces, which are meant to protect its use of space would be:Versatile, encompassing a range of Earth and space-based non-kinetic and kinetic capabilities. Vigilant, providing early warning of imminent attacks or identifying and attributing attacks already underway, whether during peacetime, crisis or conflict.Effective at taking defensive and offensive countermeasures against imminent or ongoing attacks on Indian space assets or forces.India’s terrestrial forces would also form a key component of the space doctrine since they would need to be capable of functioning in a space-degraded environment. They would also have to train to perform in such conditions and develop terrestrial back-ups for space-based capabilities that are vulnerable to enemy attack. Our doctrine also laid out the role of command and control, and India’s objectives in pursuing arms control agreements or restraint regimes. In a separate document, Space as a Geopolitical Environment, we sought to make explicit the assumptions that had gone into the making of the doctrine. Drawing on our discussions, as well as the works of scholars such as Bleddyn Bowen and John J. Klein, we brought it down to ten points:1. The geography of space is determined primarily by gravitational forces and radiation. 2. Space is a distinct environment. The character of orbital space fundamentally differs from that of Earth’s stratosphere, troposphere, and so-called ‘near space’. Therefore, space power cannot be extrapolated from the military term ‘air power’.3. Human activity in orbital space is shaped by the interaction between activities on Earth and the physical character of the celestial littoral, as defined by such phenomena as orbital mechanics and solar weather patterns.4. Human activity in orbital space is heavily Earth-centric, with most orbital craft tasked with providing remote-sensing, communications, and navigation services on Earth.5. Space power is the ability of a state to leverage its space-related activities to wield influence in international politics. It encompasses commercial, military and scientific activity in space, as well as all Earth-based activities connected to the use of space.6. Celestial lines of communication (CLOCs) are the routes used for space-related activities, including orbital paths and communications links between satellites and Earth.7. The command of space is the ability to use space, deny it to others, or to do both.8. Space warfare is waged for the command of space. It can be waged both in space and on Earth.9. Orbital space has always been militarised, but new technologies and the diffusion of existing technologies will make it easier to contest the use of space in the near future.10. The battlefield of space is characterised by vast distances, the lack of natural cover and concealment, the absence of atmospheric attenuation, the presence of radiation, and the mechanics of gravitation.If you enjoy this newsletter, please consider taking our special credit courses in Ethical Reasoning in Public Policy and Evidence-based policy-making for responding to COVID-19Cyberpolitik:(un)Safe Harbour - Sapni G KThe past couple of days have seen a lot of high-profile media coverage of Facebook. A few of them stand out for their arbitrariness in decision-making. The Wall Street Journal reported that Facebook favoured profitability over a finding that Instagram causes body dysmorphia in one out of five teenage girls who are users of the app. Another report suggests that Facebook followed a differential treatment for select users, not taking down content that was otherwise in violation of its community standards. Such reports of devious practices add to the bid against safe harbour protection given to social media platforms that host user-generated content. Governments across the globe use these incidents to justify restrictive and harmful mandates on speech on these platforms. The Brazilian Supreme Court and Congress acted steadfastly against a recent ban on the removal of election-related disinformation promulgated by the Bolsonaro Government. The US state of Texas also passed a law preventing content-takedown to “protect the freedoms of conservative users." China’s recent recommendation algorithm regulations, which we covered in the previous edition, also undermine safe harbour protections in the interest of toeing the line drawn by those in power. Safe harbour provisions have been the backbone of the development of social media platforms. They protect social media platforms from liability for user-generated content. They catalysed a new wave of ideas around the governance of these particularly positioned privately-owned public spaces. The provisions opened up new avenues for governance such as large-scale pre-legislative policy consultations.Cyberspace - particularly the internet public sphere created by social media platforms - acted as soft power tools for countries. Russian content farms arguably meddled with the elections in the USA. However, social media popularised K-Pop culture, as it was exported across the globe giving South Korea a niche area of cultural dominance. More broadly, social media platforms also contributed to the rise of new identities.Barlow’s Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace might be an unachievable utopia today, but social media contributed massively to a stronger sense of community in people located wide and far. Politically motivated actors maliciously meddling with safe harbour protections will not augur well for the future of cyberspace that is already inching closer to a splinternet. The shifting narratives can cause changes in the undercurrents of power in the frontier of cyberspace. Techpolitik: After-effects of Nokia Suspending O-RAN Alliance Participation- Arjun GargeyasIn 2018, a group of telecommunication firms and network operators came together to improve the coverage of radio access networks (RANs) across the globe. A proposal to transition into virtualized network elements and open interfaces to the RAN was the idea behind improving global connectivity systems through radio communications. The O-RAN Alliance was conceived in the hope of providing a better platform and enhancing opportunities for small and medium-scale firms in the communications domain. This includes networking software, hardware supply and cloud computing firms collaborating to create an open and programmable RAN solution that can be deployed. Other O-RAN Alliance initiatives have focused on incorporating artificial intelligence (AI), specifying interfaces and APIs to drive appropriate standardization, and establishing the supply chain infrastructure. The organisation is involved in defining and creating specifications for open interfaces and functions used in open radio access network architecture. Currently, the group has a total of 29 operators including telecommunication giants like AT&T and China Mobile. O-RAN specifications adhere to specific standards such as the ones created by global standard-setting bodies like 3GPP for 4G and 5G standards.Founding operator members include AT&T, China Mobile, Deutsche Telekom, NTT DoCoMo and Orange. The O-RAN ecosystem allows for newer and smaller entrants focused on specific interoperable solutions for 4G and 5G to be included in the system. This mainly allows for mixing and matching different hardware and software solutions created by multiple vendors. Nokia, one of the earliest champions of the O-RAN alliance, recently announced their temporary suspension of work on the O-RAN system. This was in response to the US government taking cognizance of Chinese firms’ activities and blacklisting them. A number of restrictions were placed on some of the Chinese vendors, part of the alliance, by the US authorities citing threats to national security.Nokia officials mentioned that the smooth functioning of the alliance needs the support of Chinese vendors, who form a fifth of all the members of the alliance. Some of these Chinese companies, which are part of the O-RAN alliance, were added to the Entity List of the US, which serves as the list of all blacklisted companies in the country. Nokia has categorically said that these firms hold considerable clout in the industry and cannot be ignored. This has put the objective of the O-RAN alliance becoming the next global standard for communications operations in a limbo. It is not known if Nokia will eventually pull out of the alliance or continue to work without the involvement of blacklisted Chinese firms. This can also mean that there might be parallel development of O-RAN technology both by the alliance and other Chinese firms, which goes against the tenet of the technology being an international standard facilitating interoperability between different vendors. Some operators and vendors are pushing ahead on Open RAN irrespective of the status of activities at the O-RAN Alliance.Heads of technology companies believe that if the O-RAN alliance is accorded the status of an international standards body, which has a considerable global reach, then the frictions between the members of the alliance and a single government will not result in the breakdown of the entire group. The whole point of the O-RAN alliance is to break the oligopolistic telecommunications market by providing opportunities for smaller firms to succeed in this space. Political nitpicking is going to derail that effort and ensure that dependencies still exist. Antriksh Matters #2: Russia Seeks a Favourable Anti-counter Space Future- Aditya PareekWeaponisation in space is a major concern that has become increasingly important to the global arms control discourse. The advantages of basing weapons systems in space are hardly lost on major world powers. The same also goes for their anxieties about similar capabilities wielded by adversaries.Russia has been curiously signing joint statements on the non-placement of first weapons in space (NPOK) with countries that don’t have any counter space capabilities. According to this BBC Russian Service report, which also has a nice rundown of the matter, Russia has signed such agreements with “Venezuela, Cambodia, Togo, Uruguay, Burundi and a dozen other countries”. While this Kommersant report mentions that Russia has “accumulated 25 such interstate joint statements. And there is also a multilateral one - within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO)”According to this brief on the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, which makes it clear that, although closely related to similar multilateral initiatives introduced via the Conference on Disarmament, NPOK is a unilateral Russian initiative. As the Kommersant article argues, the pragmatic purpose of signing these agreements is to have leverage in multilateral fora where Russia can count on the signatory nations’ support on counter space and anti-counter space agreements that may address its concerns and keep its shared interests with these nations in mind.Our Reading Menu[Research Article] The capricious relationship between technology and democracy: Analyzing public policy discussions in the UK and US by Bridget Barrett, Katharine Dommett and Daniel Kreis[Facebook Files] An investigation by the Wall Street Journal [Book] The Routledge Companion to the Makers of Global Business[Commentary] Geopolitics and Technology – US‑China Competition: The Coming Decoupling?[Book] Undersea Geopolitics: Sealab, Science, and the Cold WarBook by Rachael Squire This is a public episode.

La Russie est-elle en train de se convertir au café ? Le pays a longtemps préféré les feuilles de thé aux grains de café, mais depuis dix ans la consommation d’expresso, capuccino et autres lattes n’a cessé de grimper, en particulier dans les grandes villes. Résultat en 2019, la Russie a importé davantage de café que de thé. C’est un chiffre qui a fait sensation lorsqu’il a été rendu public au printemps dernier : pour la première fois en Russie, les ventes de café ont dépassé celles de thé : 180 000 tonnes de café vendu en 2019, contre 140 000 tonnes de thé. Du jamais vu dans un pays où le thé est considéré comme une boisson nationale – alors même qu’il est importé d’Inde, du Sri Lanka ou du Kenya. En Russie, l’image du Samovar et des tasses de thé brûlant que l’on boit à toute heure de la journée fait partie du folklore national. Et pourtant, depuis une décennie, le café est en train de s’imposer dans les esprits et dans les tasses. Et tandis que la consommation de thé est orientée à la baisse, celle de café ne cesse de grimper. Selon les chiffres cités par l’agence TASS, la consommation de café a doublé en Russie au cours des années 2010. Et l’histoire ne fait que commencer ! Car, malgré cette progression fulgurante, les Russes restent de « petits » consommateurs lorsque l’on compare avec d’autres pays. En moyenne, selon des chiffres cités par le journal Kommersant ils boivent 21 litres par an contre une centaine pour les Américains et 200 pour les Finlandais, qui sont les plus gros buveurs de café au monde. Engouement dans les grandes villes Les Russes boivent de plus en plus de café, et ils le font différemment ! Après avoir plébiscité durant des années le café instantané, les amateurs découvrent – en tous cas dans les grandes villes, les délices de l’expresso, du latte ou du cappuccino. Et, à Moscou comme à Saint-Pétersbourg, une multitude de cafés se sont ouverts pour surfer sur cet engouement. Les Russes ont peut-être besoin de se rattraper, car ils ont longtemps été privés de café de qualité : à l’époque soviétique, ils devaient bien souvent se contenter de chicorée, ou d’ersatz de café sans grande saveur. Aujourd’hui, le café en Russie véhicule donc une image branchée, d’ouverture sur le monde extérieur. Pour autant, le thé a encore son mot à dire dans un pays où il reste incontournable. Et le coronavirus pourrait d’ailleurs ralentir quelque peu l’irrésistible ascension du café en Russie ! Car c’est à l’extérieur de chez eux, dans les restaurants ou les bars, que les Russes préfèrent boire le café. Et lorsqu’ils restent à la maison, comme ce fut le cas durant le confinement imposé au printemps dernier, c’est la bouilloire et les feuille de thé qui s’imposent de nouveau.

The US has made Russia an offer it hopes she won't refuse: accept a new arms control deal including no limits on NATO weapons in Europe, or deal with a modernized American nuclear arsenal on its doorstep. Following the US' unilateral withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty last year, the 2011 New START treaty remains the only arms control deal in force between Moscow and Washington. However, it's due to expire in February, and negotiations to replace it remain deadlocked.

Save Meduza!https://support.meduza.io/enOn September 1, 2020, the Russian newspaper Kommersant ran a story that looked like a real bombshell before it fizzled out. The report, titled “Hackers Appeal to the U.S. State Department: American Voter Data Appears on Russian Darknet,” credits a Russian hacker platform with posting millions of American voters' personal data (mainly voters in the swing state of Michigan, but also in Connecticut, Florida, and North Carolina) and then profiting off a U.S. government project to pay foreigners for tips about election interference. Kommersant also quoted experts who warned that the publication of the voter data could be a “provocation” ahead of this year's presidential election in the U.S. But the voter data in question wasn't hacked or leaked — it's all publicly available — and the U.S. State Department says it's yet to pay anyone for intelligence about election interference. Kommersant's report isn't entirely false, however. Russian hackers are sharing the personal information of millions of American voters, and that's not all.

C’est la surprise de cet hiver : la Russie a depuis la mi-janvier un nouveau gouvernement. Il a été nommé une semaine à peine après l'annonce d'une révision surprise de la Constitution suivie de la démission du Premier ministre Dmitri Medvedev. Pour remplacer le chef du gouvernement devenu impopulaire, Vladimir Poutine a pris tout le monde de cours en nommant un haut fonctionnaire inconnu du grand public : Mikhaïl Michoustine était jusque-là le patron du fisc russe. Son portrait. (Rediffusion du 26/01/2020) De l’ombre à la lumière en un rien de temps. Citant une source proche du Kremlin, le Financial Times va jusqu’à affirmer que Mikhaïl Michoustine n’aurait appris sa nomination qu’après la démission de Dmitri Medvedev. Une thèse que conteste le politologue Alexei Moukhine, qui a ses entrées au Kremlin « Ça ne s’est pas passé comme ça. Des observateurs ont constaté que Mikhaïl Michoustine assistait à une série de réunions avec Vladimir Poutine, réunions où d’habitude le chef du fisc n’était pas convié. Mais personne ne comprenait pourquoi. Tout est devenu clair après la démission de Dmitri Medvedev. Monsieur Michoustine a des nerfs d’acier et c’est pour ça qu’il n’a pas vendu la mèche », dit-il. ► À écouter aussi : Une nouvelle donne politique en Russie ? Des nerfs d’acier, mais aussi des talents d’organisateur et de modernisateur dont il a fait preuve à la tête du Service fédéral des impôts pendant 10 ans. « Il a ces dernières années mis en place toute une série de systèmes qui permettent non seulement de lever les impôts de façon plus efficace, mais aussi de surveiller les actions des citoyens et des contribuables », explique Clémentine Fauconnier, docteure associée au CERI, spécialiste de la vie politique russe. Puis d’ajouter : « Cela lui a valu à la fois une très bonne réputation auprès de ceux qui le connaissaient déjà dans les cercles du pouvoir, et aussi ce qui fait qu’il a un profil de technocrate et qu’il s’inscrit tout à fait dans la base de désignation, à tous les niveaux du pouvoir qu’on a pu observer ces dernières années, où ce type de profil qui a été particulièrement favorisé par Poutine, par exemple, quand il s’agit de désigner les gouverneurs en régions. » Le rôle de Michoustine dans le gouvernement Le technocrate Michoustine, ingénieur de formation, docteur en sciences économiques et Moscovite, remplace le juriste et Pétersbourgeois Dmitri Medvedev, discrédité et impopulaire notamment pour n’avoir pas réussi à redresser le niveau de vie de la population. Ce sera la tâche prioritaire du nouveau Premier ministre comme il l’a lui-même annoncé devant les députés. « Notre priorité ce sont les enfants, les familles et l’augmentation de leur niveau de vie », a-t-il déclaré. ► À lire aussi : Russie, un nouveau gouvernement sans grand changement Si Vladimir Poutine a gardé ses ministres clés aux Affaires étrangères, à la Défense et aux Finances, les portefeuilles plus « sociaux » sont remaniés. Les talents d’organisateur de Mikhail Michoustine ne seront pas de trop pour la tâche qui leur est assignée. « Les nouveaux ministres ont carte blanche pour mettre en œuvre les réformes de Vladimir Poutine. Mais ce sont des gens jeunes et bien que bons spécialistes, ils n’ont pas de poids politique et ils ne peuvent pas peser sur l’administration. Ils vont devoir lutter contre l’inertie du système bureaucratique russe. Mikhail Michoustine peut les y aider. Il est l’un des meilleurs spécialistes de l’organisation du travail et il n’a pas de poids politique et c’est justement ce qui convient à Vladimir Poutine », commente Alexei Moukhine. Un technocrate pas si terne que ça Mikhail Michoustine, un technocrate de 53 ans, jusque-là très discret, mais pas si terne que ça. Féru de hockey, comme Vladimir Poutine, il est aussi poète et musicien à ses heures. Il a notamment composé la musique d’une chanson de l’artiste pop Grigory Leps. Un hobby qu’il préfère toutefois ne pas trop afficher… Tout comme les revenus attribués à son épouse. « L’opposant Alexeï Navalny qui s’est spécialisé dans la lutte contre la corruption, la dénonciation du mode de vie des élites, a fait une petite enquête sur lui », explique Clémentine Fauconnier. « Il a notamment relevé le fait que son épouse, qui est sans activité professionnelle, est à la tête d’une somme assez importante, évaluée à peu près à 11 millions d’euros. Alexeï Navalny s’interroge sur la façon dont éventuellement le couple Michoustine se serait enrichi ces dernières années. » Le Premier ministre n’a pas fait de commentaire, mais le journal Kommersant affirme que cette importante somme provient de placements. Pas de quoi convaincre Alexeï Navalny dont les équipes s’interrogent désormais sur l’origine de la fortune de la sœur de Mikhaïl Michoustine.

Will the collapse of oil prices and subsequent loss of revenue force Russia to rein in its ambitious foreign policy of recent years? Are there renewed hopes for progress in the Donbas peace talks?

Européen de la semaine - Russie: Mikhaïl Michoustine, de l'ombre à la lumière

La Russie a un nouveau gouvernement. Pour remplacer son Premier ministre Dmitri Medvedev, devenu impopulaire, Vladimir Poutine a pris tout le monde de cours en nommant un haut fonctionnaire inconnu du grand public : Mikhaïl Michoustine, qui était jusque-là le patron du fisc russe. De l’ombre à la lumière en un rien de temps. Citant une source proche du Kremlin, le Financial Times va jusqu’à affirmer que Mikhaïl Michoustine n’aurait appris sa nomination qu’après la démission de Dmitri Medvedev. Une thèse que conteste le politologue Alexei Moukhine, qui a ses entrées au Kremlin « Ça ne s’est pas passé comme ça. Des observateurs ont constaté que Mikhaïl Michoustine assistait à une série de réunions avec Vladimir Poutine, réunions où d’habitude le chef du fisc n’était pas convié. Mais personne ne comprenait pourquoi. Tout est devenu clair après la démission de Dmitri Medvedev. Monsieur Michoustine a des nerfs d’acier et c’est pour ça qu’il n’a pas vendu la mèche », dit-il. ► À écouter aussi : Une nouvelle donne politique en Russie ? Des nerfs d’acier, mais aussi des talents d’organisateur et de modernisateur dont il a fait preuve à la tête du Service fédéral des impôts pendant 10 ans. « Il a ces dernières années mis en place toute une série de systèmes qui permettent non seulement de lever les impôts de façon plus efficace, mais aussi de surveiller les actions des citoyens et des contribuables », explique Clémentine Fauconnier, docteure associée au CERI, spécialiste de la vie politique russe. Puis d’ajouter : « Cela lui a valu à la fois une très bonne réputation auprès de ceux qui le connaissaient déjà dans les cercles du pouvoir, et aussi ce qui fait qu’il a un profil de technocrate et qu’il s’inscrit tout à fait dans la base de désignation, à tous les niveaux du pouvoir qu’on a pu observer ces dernières années, où ce type de profil qui a été particulièrement favorisé par Poutine, par exemple, quand il s’agit de désigner les gouverneurs en régions. » Le rôle de Michoustine dans le gouvernement Le technocrate Michoustine, ingénieur de formation, docteur en sciences économiques et Moscovite, remplace le juriste et Pétersbourgeois Dmitri Medvedev, discrédité et impopulaire notamment pour n’avoir pas réussi à redresser le niveau de vie de la population. Ce sera la tâche prioritaire du nouveau Premier ministre comme il l’a lui-même annoncé devant les députés. « Notre priorité ce sont les enfants, les familles et l’augmentation de leur niveau de vie », a-t-il déclaré. ► À lire aussi : Russie, un nouveau gouvernement sans grand changement Si Vladimir Poutine a gardé ses ministres clés aux Affaires étrangères, à la Défense et aux Finances, les portefeuilles plus « sociaux » sont remaniés. Les talents d’organisateur de Mikhail Michoustine ne seront pas de trop pour la tâche qui leur est assignée. « Les nouveaux ministres ont carte blanche pour mettre en œuvre les réformes de Vladimir Poutine. Mais ce sont des gens jeunes et bien que bons spécialistes, ils n’ont pas de poids politique et ils ne peuvent pas peser sur l’administration. Ils vont devoir lutter contre l’inertie du système bureaucratique russe. Mikhail Michoustine peut les y aider. Il est l’un des meilleurs spécialistes de l’organisation du travail et il n’a pas de poids politique et c’est justement ce qui convient à Vladimir Poutine », commente Alexei Moukhine. Un technocrate pas si terne que ça Mikhail Michoustine, un technocrate de 53 ans, jusque-là très discret, mais pas si terne que ça. Féru de hockey, comme Vladimir Poutine, il est aussi poète et musicien à ses heures. Il a notamment composé la musique d’une chanson de l’artiste pop Grigory Leps. Un hobby qu’il préfère toutefois ne pas trop afficher… Tout comme les revenus attribués à son épouse. « L’opposant Alexeï Navalny qui s’est spécialisé dans la lutte contre la corruption, la dénonciation du mode de vie des élites, a fait une petite enquête sur lui », explique Clémentine Fauconnier. « Il a notamment relevé le fait que son épouse, qui est sans activité professionnelle, est à la tête d’une somme assez importante, évaluée à peu près à 11 millions d’euros. Alexeï Navalny s’interroge sur la façon dont éventuellement le couple Michoustine se serait enrichi ces dernières années. » Le Premier ministre n’a pas fait de commentaire, mais le journal Kommersant affirme que cette importante somme provient de placements. Pas de quoi convaincre Alexeï Navalny dont les équipes s’interrogent désormais sur l’origine de la fortune de la sœur de Mikhaïl Michoustine.

— The entire politics desk of the Kommersant business newspaper, 11 people in total, handed in their resignations this week. The mass departure was a protest against a decision by the editor in chief and the oligarch owner to fire two journalists for a scoop in April. We speak with one of the Kommersant reporters who was fired for the scoop, and to Russian journalist Alexei Kovalev about how this latest incident fits into the worsening media landscape in Russia. — On April 25, Russia halted oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline to Eastern Europe and Germany because the deliveries had been contaminated with organic chloride, leading to frictions between Russia, Belarus and the West. We speak to Bloomberg reporter Jake Rudnitsky to discuss the fallout.
