Quan hệ giữa Mỹ và Belarus, quốc gia thường được coi là hoàn toàn nằm trong quỹ đạo của điện Kremlin, có một số biến chuyển bất ngờ. Quan sát viên Mỹ được mời dự tập trận Zapad do Nga và Belarus chủ trì. Washington mở lại sứ quán tại Belarus. Trừng phạt với hãng hàng không quốc gia Belarus được dỡ bỏ sau khi Minsk thả hàng chục tù chính trị. Việc Mỹ và Belarus tốc lực bình thường hóa quan hệ có phải là một kịch bản nằm hoàn toàn trong lợi ích của chế độ Putin? Drone Nga xâm nhập lãnh thổ NATO, Mỹ được mời quan sát tập trận Zapad Ngay trước khi cuộc tập trận lớn Zapad 4 năm một lần, đêm 09/09/2025 khoảng 20 drone Nga xâm nhập lãnh thổ Ba Lan, quốc gia sườn đông của khối NATO. Đây là lần thứ 4 trong lịch sử liên minh phòng thủ NATO từ khi thành lập năm 1949, điều 4 Hiến chương của khối được một quốc gia thành viên kích hoạt để tham vấn các đồng minh. Lần đầu tiên chiến đấu cơ NATO được huy động để hủy diệt mục tiêu xâm nhập không phận của một thành viên. Chính trong bối cảnh đó, các quan sát viên quân đội Mỹ đã được mời tham dự cuộc tập trận Zapad vào hai ngày cuối, 15 và 16/09.  Trước đó, ngày 11/09, chính quyền Minsk trả tự do cho 52 tù nhân nhiều quốc tịch, trong đó có 14 công dân nước ngoài và nhiều tù nhân chính trị Belarus, gồm cả ông Nikolai Statkevich, ứng cử viên tổng thống Belarus năm 2010 (người đã không chấp nhận đi ra nước ngoài, nên sau đó bị đưa trở lại nhà tù). Tuyên bố trả tự do cho tù nhân nói trên được đưa ra vào lúc luật sư John Coale, đặc sứ của tổng thống Trump, dẫn đầu một phái đoàn Mỹ đến Minsk. Cũng trong dịp này, phía Mỹ thông báo mở lại sứ quán tại Belarus, bị đóng cửa năm 2022 sau khi Nga xâm lược Ukraina, dùng Belarus làm bàn đạp tấn công Ukraina từ phía bắc. Trước đó, quan hệ giữa chính quyền Trump và Belarus đã có một bước tiến đáng kể. Hồi cuối tháng 6/2025, đặc phái viên của tổng thống Mỹ về Ukraina, ông Keith Kellogg, công du Belarus. Đây là cuộc gặp đầu tiên giữa một quan chức cấp cao Nhà Trắng và nhà độc tài Belarus từ 5 năm nay, và chuyến thăm đã « đánh dấu một bước ngoặt lớn » so với chính sách của tổng thống tiền nhiệm Joe Biden. Trong dịp này chế độ Lukashenko đã trả tự do cho 14 tù nhân chính trị Belarus, trong đó có ông Sergei Tikhanovsky, lãnh đạo đối lập, bị bắt giam khi cổ vũ cho phong trào biểu tình phản đối chính quyền trước cuộc bầu cử tổng thống năm 2020. Ông Tikhanovsky là chồng của bà Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, lãnh đạo hiện tại của phong trào đối lập Belarus, tị nạn ở hải ngoại. Đọc thêm : Quốc Hội Belarus « hợp thức hóa » trấn áp phong trào đòi dân chủ Trước khi bay đi Alaska hội kiến với tổng thống Nga Vladimir Putin ngày 15/08, ông Trump đã gọi điện cho tổng thống Lukashenko. Sau cuộc điện đàm, ông Trump gọi nhà độc tài Belarus, hiện không được các nước phương Tây công nhận sau cuộc bầu cử bị lên án là gian lận, là « vị tổng thống rất đáng kính », cho biết đã nhận lời mời thăm Belarus và « nóng lòng » gặp mặt đồng nhiệm. Vì sao Trump và chế độ Minsk nhanh chóng xích lại gần nhau ? Điểm chung bề ngoài có thể thấy rõ giữa tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump và nhà độc tài Belarus là hai bên có sự gặp gỡ về quan điểm trong việc ủng hộ việc tìm giải pháp cho việc chấm dứt chiến tranh Ukraina. Hãng thông tấn Nhà nước Belarus Belta, trong một bài viết hồi cuối tháng 8/2025 (« Lukashenko: Trump excelled as a mediator during Alaska talks / Tổng thống Belaurs : Trump là một nhà trung gian tuyệt vời tại cuộc đối thoại Alaska »), cho biết tổng thống Belarus đã ca ngợi lãnh đạo Mỹ, bênh vực cuộc thượng đỉnh Alakska, bị không ít người lên án là đã quá nhân nhượng Putin. Một chuyên gia hàng đầu về Belarus, ông Artyom Shraibman, trong một bài trả lời phỏng vấn, với chủ đề chính « Những gì diễn ra trong lòng Belarus » (What's Going On Inside Belarus), đăng tải cuối tháng 8/2025 trên trang Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, đã ghi nhận các nỗ lực bình thường hóa quan hệ Mỹ - Belarus diễn ra vào thời điểm mà các đàm phán giữa Mỹ và Nga nhằm tìm giải pháp chấm dứt xung đột Ukraina « rõ ràng đang bị đình trệ ». Đọc thêm : Hạn định 50 ngày với Nga và rủi ro bế tắc chính trị cho Donald Trump Tổng thống Trump đã tuyên bố chấm dứt chiến tranh 24 giờ sau khi nhậm chức, rồi sau đó triển hạn thêm 6 tháng. Nửa năm đã trôi qua, cuộc xung đột tiếp diễn. Không có gì cho thấy là Nga từ bỏ các tham vọng tối đa về Ukraina, như chiếm lĩnh nhiều vùng lãnh thổ của Ukraina, đòi Ukraina phi quân sự hóa. Theo chuyên gia Artyom Shraibman, trong lúc tổng thống Lukashenko tìm cách thoát thế cô lập, dùng việc trả tự do cho các tù nhân chính trị  đổi lại việc dỡ bỏ trừng phạt, và cải thiện quan hệ với Mỹ, ông Trump muốn phá thế bế tắc trong các đàm phán với Nga về chấm dứt chiến tranh Ukraina, thông qua Belarus. Mỹ bình thường hoá quan hệ với Belarus : « Con đường vòng » để Washington bỏ cấm vận Nga ? Việc Mỹ đẩy nhanh việc bình thường hóa quan hệ với Belarus, quốc gia đàn em của Nga, được một số nhà quan sát xem như mang lại nhiều lợi thế cho điện Kremlin. Nhà báo Marie Jégo, của Le Monde, chuyên về Nga, cựu thông tín viên tại Matxcơva, trong bài « Sự nhượng bộ hoàn toàn của Trump đối với Putin », nêu bật : « Về những điều đã xảy ra, cá nhân tôi thấy khá là bất ngờ. Và đây là điều đã không được các chuyên gia và nhà quan sát thực sự chú ý. Đó là vụ xâm nhập bằng drone của Nga vào bầu trời Ba Lan, và chỉ một ngày sau sự kiện này, nước Mỹ đã cử một đặc phái viên đến Minsk. Mỹ đã đạt được thỏa thuận với nhà độc tài Lukashenko, người được Matxcơva coi là một quân cờ, và chính Belarus là nơi khởi nguồn của cuộc tấn công xâm lược Ukraina của Nga. Và từ Belarus, mà tên lửa đã bắn vào Ukraina. Belarus đã can dự rất nhiều vào cuộc chiến này. Vậy là người Mỹ đã đến đó chỉ một ngày sau sự kiện kinh hoàng drone Nga xâm nhập. Họ đã đến đó. Và đã có một cuộc đàm phán. Ông Lukashenko đã thả 52 tù nhân chính trị. Riêng điều này thì chúng tôi rất vui. Đây là điều tốt. Nhưng mặt khác, chính quyền Mỹ cũng cho biết họ đang dỡ bỏ các trừng phạt, đặc biệt là đối với lĩnh vực hàng không dân dụng của Belarus. Điều đó có nghĩa là Belarus giờ đây sẽ có thể nhận được phụ tùng thay thế từ hãng Boeing của Mỹ. Và nếu như Belarus được như vậy, thì Nga cũng sẽ là nước nhận được. Như vậy, có thể nói, đây là một con đường vòng để dỡ bỏ các trừng phạt Nga. » Đọc thêm : Mỹ « bình thường hóa » quan hệ với Nga: Ác mộng với châu Âu và Ukraina? Trang mạng chuyên về chính trị Quốc tế Politico.eu, có bài ghi nhận về « nguy cơ tan vỡ » của mặt trận Mỹ - Âu trừng phạt Nga.   Minsk với thế đi dây một thời giữa nước Nga Putin và châu Âu dân chủ Trước cuộc xâm lăng Ukraina của Nga, kể từ khi lên cầm quyền năm 1994, tổng thống Belarus đã xây dựng chiến lược cân bằng giữa hai đối cực, giữa nước Nga của Putin và châu Âu dân chủ. Chế độ Lukashenko đã lợi dụng vị thế địa-chiến lược đặc biệt nằm ở giữa Liên Âu và Nga để thực thi chính sách « đi dây ». Belarus phụ thuộc vào Nga về năng lượng, quân sự và chính trị, nhưng mặt khác chính sách cởi mở có chọn lọc của quốc gia thành viên Liên Xô cũ này với Liên Âu đã giúp cho Minsk được nhiều lợi thế về kinh tế. Chuyên gia về Belarus, Artyom Shraibman, trên Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, trong bài « Not So Quiet on the Eastern Front: Elements of a Risk Management Strategy Toward Belarus » (Mặt trận phía Đông không quá yên tĩnh: Một số đề xuất về chiến lược quản lý rủi ro đối với Belarus) (6/2025) ghi nhận : « Cho đến năm 2020 (tức trước cuộc bầu cử tổng thống bị lên án là gian lận), ông Lukashenko đã tìm cách duy trì thế cân bằng mong manh của Belarus giữa phương Tây và Nga, đòi phần thưởng từ mỗi bên để đổi lấy việc không xích lại gần bên kia. Chìa khóa cho chiến thuật này là khả năng của Minsk trong việc xử lý mối quan hệ với Nga như một con lắc (pendulum). Sự linh hoạt đó đã đột ngột chấm dứt do mối quan hệ gần như hoàn toàn đổ vỡ với phương Tây sau khi chính quyền Lukashenko đàn áp dữ dội các cuộc biểu tình lớn ở Belarus vào mùa hè năm 2020. Kể từ đó, con lắc Belarus bị kẹt hoàn toàn trong vùng kiểm soát của Nga. » Đọc thêm : Càng bị phương Tây cô lập, Belarus càng lệ thuộc vào người "anh cả" Nga Châu Âu cần ứng xử thế nào với « con lắc Lukashenko » ? Kể từ khi Nga xâm lược Ukraina, « con lắc » Belarus hoàn toàn bị kẹt trong vùng kiểm soát của Nga. Câu hỏi đặt ra là sau các động thái bình thường hóa quan hệ mới đây từ phía Mỹ, liệu chế độ Lukashenko có trở lại với hành xử kiểu « con lắc »? Cho đến nay Liên Âu duy trì chính sách rất cứng rắn với chế độ Minsk, không công nhận Lukashenko là tổng thống Belarus, và coi Belarus là quốc gia đồng lõa với Nga trong cuộc xâm lăng Ukraina. Liên Âu ủng hộ đối lập Belarus lưu vong và có chính sách hậu thuẫn xã hội dân sự Belarus trong tiến trình chuyển tiếp sang chế độ dân chủ, đã bị cuộc đàn áp mùa hè 2020 của chế độ Lukashenko chặn đứng. Hiện tại, hơn 1.200 nhà hoạt động Belarus vẫn bị giam giữ. Đối lập Belarus cảnh báo các nước phương Tây, trước hết là châu Âu, không để Minsk lợi dụng thủ đoạn thả tù nhân nhỏ giọt theo mặc cả với Mỹ, để đánh bóng hình ảnh. Đọc thêm : Tổng thống Belarus Lukashenko "khó xử" vì chiến tranh Ukraina Tuy nhiên, 5 năm sau cuộc bầu cử tổng thống Belarus không được phương Tây công nhận, gần 4 năm kể khi Nga xâm lược Ukraina, quan hệ giữa châu Âu và chế độ Putin ở mức căng thẳng chưa từng có. Belarus không những có thể được Nga dùng làm bàn đạp tấn công Ukraina một lần nữa, mà có thể được dùng để tấn công chính các thành viên NATO châu Âu. Chuyên gia về Belarus, Artyom Shraibman, lưu ý châu Âu cần chủ động xây dựng một chiến lược khéo léo với Minsk, để không bị Mỹ đẩy vào thế bị động trong quan hệ với Belarus (bài « Trump serves Lukashenko a welcome aperitif and pressur on Europe  / Trump đãi Lukashenko món khai vị và gây áp lực lên châu Âu », ngày 22/09/2025). Để làm được điều đó,  theo vị chuyên gia này, không nên đi theo định kiến cho rằng Belarus hoàn toàn là « tay sai », nhất nhất hành xử theo mệnh lệnh của điện Kremlin. Đọc thêm : Belarus lo chiến tranh hạt nhân, nhưng khẳng định sẽ tiếp nhận vũ khí hạt nhân "chiến lược" Nga Trong vụ drone xâm nhập Ba Lan vừa qua, quân đội Belarus đã báo trước cho phía Ba Lan. Cuộc tập trận Zapad được tổ chức ở miền đông Belarus, cách xa biên giới với Ba Lan. Chế độ Lukashenko không muốn biên giới với Ba Lan đóng cửa làm tê liệt tuyến đường sắt nối liền Trung Quốc – châu Âu thông qua Belarus. Chuyên gia về Belarus nhấn mạnh : châu Âu phải tỏ ra cứng rắn, nhưng cũng cần có những biện pháp tinh tế, khiến chế độ Lukashenko « phải cân nhắc kỹ lưỡng » trước khi quyết định có hành xử theo đòi hỏi của Matxcơva hay không, đặc biệt vào những thời điểm hệ trọng, liên quan đến chiến tranh hay hòa bình.

Metal is metal? Zeker niet! Want hoewel de meeste herrie uit het Westen komt, is er ook een levendige Spaanse en Latijns-Amerikaanse scene, met totaal eigen klanken en teksten. Gelukkig weet dubbelbloed Bram 'El Pastuso' Franssen, frontman van ¡Pendejo!, in deze editie van Dood & Verderf deze werelden te combineren én te duiden. Wat metal, wat grindcore, wat stoner, wat punkrock, wat teringherrie. Niets nieuws onder de zon in Dood & Verderf, zou je denken. Maar niets is minder waar. Want in deze editie vertrekken we naar de exotische wereld van de Spaanstalige teringherrie. Live vanaf het festivalterrein van Baroeg Open Air zit ik in de podcastcontainer met Bram ‘El Pastuso' Franssen. Bram, dat is de zanger en trompettist van ¡Pendejo!. En ¡Pendejo!, dat is, en ik citeer, ‘snelle stoner met trompet én trombone, stomp-groovend als een zwaar opgevoerde stoomwals die wordt aangedreven door een megawaterpijp met op smeltend asfalt gekweekte wiet erin'.  Spaanstalige teringherrie dus. We bezoeken daarvoor zo ongeveer elk land in Midden- en Zuid-Amerika, plus nog wat Zuid-Europa, en natuurlijk ons eigen Nederland. Vamos! Vond je dit tof?

In this episode of War & Peace, Olga and Elissa speak with Valery Kavaleuski, former Belarusian diplomat and Executive Director of the Euro-Atlantic Affairs Agency, about Minsk's evolving foreign policy and how it is constrained by enduring Russian influence. They discuss the joint Russian-Belarusian military exercise Zapad 2025, which took place just after 19 Russian drones crossed into Poland, heightening tensions between NATO and Moscow. They unpack Belarus' continued participation in the Vienna Document, its recent engagement with Washington, which seems to have led to prisoner releases in exchange for sanctions relief, and whether the EU and its members should adopt a more pragmatic approach when engaging with Minsk. They also look at the future of Belarus' domestic politics, the prospects for dialogue between the opposition and the Lukashenka government, and what a post-Lukashenka Belarus might look like.This episode was made possible through extra-budgetary funding from the OSCE.

Bienvenidos a nuestro último capítulo de la serie. Hoy vamos a adentrarnos en uno de los conflictos más determinantes de nuestro tiempo: la guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. Estos dos pueblos comparten una historia en común, desde la Rus de Kiev y el Imperio Ruso hasta la Unión Soviética y su disolución en 1991. Vamos a recorrer cómo esa historia común se convirtió en ruptura, cuáles son las posiciones y argumentos de cada bando, y cómo esta guerra no sólo redefine a Europa del Este, sino también a la Unión Europea, la OTAN y, en general, al mundo entero en un momento de multipolaridad. Porque lo que ocurre en el Donbás y en cualquier escenario de este conflicto influye en la economía global, la energía, la alimentación y el futuro de la geopolítica planetaria.

Pavērsiens ASV un Baltkrievijas attiecībās. Čārlija Kērka slepkavības atskaņas. NATO uzsāk misiju "Austrumu sardze". Aktualitātes pasaulē analizē Elīna Vrobļevska, Austrumeiropas politikas pētījumu centra pētniece, Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Sociālo zinātņu fakultātes lektore, politologs Andis Kudors, Latvijas Universitātes Ekonomikas un sociālo zinātņu fakultātes pasniedzējs, un politologs Veiko Spolītis. Ledlauzis Baltkrievijā Ir pagājuši jau trīs mēneši, kopš uzzinājām, ka no Baltkrievijas cietuma pēkšņi atbrīvoti 14 politieslodzītie, tajā skaitā gan Svetlanas Cihanouskas vīrs, gan pāris Latvijas valstspiederīgo. Toreiz uzzinājām, ka Minskā bija ieradies īpašais ASV sūtnis Kīts Kellogs. Šī vizīte nebija iepriekš izziņota, tāpēc daudziem notikušais bija liels pārsteigums. Pagājušajā nedēļā sekoja turpinājums. Līdzīgi kā iepriekšējā reizē, nereklamēti Minskā atkal ieradās ASV īpašs sūtnis, šoreiz Kelloga vietnieks Džons Kols. Sabiedrība par vizīti uzzināja tikai pēc tam, kad nākamajā dienā, 11. septembrī, no cietuma tika atbrīvoti 52 politieslodzītie, kas gandrīz visi ieradās Lietuvā. Viens no atbrīvotajiem – disidents Mikola Statkevičs – atteicās pamest valsti, un nu jau viņš ir atkal apcietināts un atrodas Baltkrievijas cietumā. Pārējie ir deportēti, arī šoreiz starp atbrīvotajiem ir divi Latvijas valstspiederīgie. Kola sarunas ar Lukašenko esot ilgušas piecas stundas. Visas detaļas mēs nezinām, tomēr šoreiz atbrīvošana no cietuma nav notikusi tāpat vien. Piektdien, 12. septembrī, ASV paziņoja, ka tiek atceltas visa veida noteiktās sankcijas Baltkrievijas nacionālajai lidsabiedrībai „Belavia”. Šīs sankcijas tika noteiktas vēl pirms Krievijas iebrukuma Ukrainā, kad 2021. gadā Minskā ar viltu piespieda nolaisties „Ryanair” lidmašīnu, kas bija ceļā no Atēnām uz Viļņu. Toreiz Baltkrievija praktiski to nolaupīja, lai varētu arestēt opozīcijas blogeri Ramanu Prataseviču. Tagad Amerikas puse toreiz noteiktās sankcijas ir atcelusi. Tāpat ASV delegācija paziņoja, ka atkal atvērs vēstniecību Minskā. Tas nozīmē, ka Savienoto Valstu un Baltkrievijas attiecībās ir noticis pavērsiens, un ledus, kas bija izveidojies jau vairāku gadu garumā, ir atkal salauzts. Kērka slepkavības atskaņas 10. septembra vakarā Savienotās Valstis pāršalca ziņa, ka Jūtas štatā vietējā universitātē ir sašauts kārtējais politiķis, šoreiz ASV prezidenta Donalda Trampa sabiedrotais, konservatīvais influenceris Čārlijs Kērks. Drīz vien uzzinājām, ka no gūtajiem ievainojumiem Kērks ir miris. Politiskās slepkavības Savienotajās Valstīs nav nekas jauns. Tomēr šoreiz slepkavība ir izraisījusi plašāku rezonansi nekā parasti. Visā valstī tika izsludinātas nacionālās sēras, un Tramps lika nolaist ASV karogus pusmastā līdz pat nedēļas beigām. 31 gadu vecais Kērks bija konservatīvo republikāņu jaunākās paaudzes pārstāvis, kuram bija miljoniem sekotāju sociālajos medijos. Kērks apmeklēja ASV universitātes, aicinot studentus debatēt ar viņu un pārraidot šīs debates soctīklos. Uz tām bieži tika uzaicināti studenti, kas bija Kērka viedokļu pretinieki. Zīmīgi, ka slepkavība notika vienā no tikšanās reizēm, kad Kērkam jautāja par viņa attieksmi pret biežajām publiskajām apšaudēm. Kērks jau iepriekš bija daudzkārt aktīvi iestājies par amerikāņu tiesībām nēsāt šaujamieročus, sakot, ka zaudētas dzīvības reizēm ir neizbēgams upuris, kas jāmaksā par šādu brīvību. Kērka slepkavam izdevās aizbēgt, un pirmajās dienās izvērtās visdažādākās spekulācijas, kas aiz šīs slepkavības stāv. Tāpēc tad, kad slepkavu izdevās aizturēt, pārsteigums bija liels. Izrādījās, ka tas ir 22 gadus vecais Tailers Robinsons, kurš pats nāk no konservatīvas vides. Noslepkavotā Čārlija Kērka ļoti aktīvā publiskā darbošanās ir tā, kas šoreiz ir raisījusi tik plašu rezonansi. Turklāt šoreiz tā ir izpletusies krietni pāri Amerikas robežām. Kērks bija aktīvs ne tikai politikā, bet arī kristīgajā vidē. Arī Latvijā daudzi konservatīvie kristieši viņu ir pasludinājuši par ticības mocekli. Tajā pašā laikā Kērka politiskie uzskati bija ļoti strīdīgi. Viņš bieži izteicās kritiski par Ukrainu, un analītiķi saka, ka viņa retorika šajā ziņā bija piesātināta ar Krievijas propagandu. Austrumu sardze Piektdienas vakarā NATO ģenerālsekretārs Marks Rute paziņoja par jaunu NATO misiju „Austrumu sardze”, lai nodrošinātu drošību Polijā un Baltijas valstīs. Misija ir atbilde Krievijas dronu incidentam Polijas gaisa telpā 10. septembrī. Lai gan oficiāli alianse to neuzskata par tīšu uzbrukumu, tomēr ar šo misiju cer nodrošināt reģiona drošību un atturēt kremli no tālākām provokācijām. Pašlaik misijā iesaistījušās četras valstis – Dānija, Vācija, Francija un Lielbritānija, kas katra nodrošinājusi vairākus iznīcinātājus, kuri veiks pretgaisa aizsardzības misijas. Informācija par konkrētiem misijas plāniem gan netiek izpausta, tomēr Latvijas amatpersonas pieļāvušas, ka šī varētu kļūt par patstāvīgu misiju NATO Austrumu flangā. Paralēli publiski parādās runas, ka NATO varētu aizsargāt Ukrainas rietumu gaisa telpu. Ukraina jau kopš kara pirmajām dienām ir lūgusi NATO sargāt tās debesis.

On today's Strategy Series program, sponsored by General Atomic Aeronautical Systems, Sam Bendett of the Center for Naval Analyses and Dr. Eugene Rumer, the director of the Russia and Eurasia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss details of Russia's drone attacks on Poland, Romania and Moldova — the first and largest such attack against the alliance; how the alliance can respond given President Trump's conditioning of US support on all alliance members agreeing to halting energy purchases from Russia and imposing penalties on China; the changing nature of Russia's ever larger attacks on Ukraine; the joint Russian-Belorussian Zapad 2025 exercises and how Moscow and Minsk are working to improve capabilities; whether the exercise is cover for potential future action against NATO given how Russia used past Zapad exercises to pre-position forces and equipment for the 2022 attack on Ukraine; the implications of US military observers at Zapad; and whether Washington's engagement with Minsk will change Belarus' alignment with Russia.

La tension s'intensifie entre l'Otan et la Russie, avec des manœuvres militaires russo-biélorusses près de Minsk. Des violations de l'espace aérien en Roumanie et en Pologne par des drones russes ont été qualifiées de provocations. En réponse, l'Otan a lancé l'opération "sentinelle orientale" pour renforcer ses défenses à l'est de l'Europe. Donald Trump appelle à de nouvelles sanctions contre la Russie, sous condition d'un arrêt des achats européens de pétrole russe.

Beim Militärmanöver "Sapad 2025" demonstrieren Russland und Belarus ihre militärische Stärke. Den letzten Truppenaufmarsch dieser Größe gab es vor dem Krieg in der Ukraine. Wie das aktuelle Manöver in Belarus ankommt.

En vacker sensommardag i september 2011 ska Stefan Liv och hans Lokomotiv Jaroslavl flyga till Minsk för säsongens första match i KHL. Men planet kraschar in i en radiomast och störtar ner i floden Volga. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play.

In this provocative Flashback Friday episode of The Radio Vagabond, I travel to Belarus – often called “Europe's last dictatorship” – to uncover the lived reality of life under Alexander Lukashenko. As I meet locals and explore Minsk, I ask a bold question: are there bright sides to this autocratic system? Some people credit the regime with preserving economic stability post-USSR, keeping unemployment low and averting the oligarchic chaos seen elsewhere. They say limited online freedoms – like the ability to access opposition sites – create an illusion of choice. But the darker truth sits just beneath the surface. Lukashenko's heavy censorship, the criminalization of dissent – even for wearing “wrong” socks – and the ongoing use of capital punishment paint a grim picture.

In this provocative Flashback Friday episode of The Radio Vagabond, I travel to Belarus – often called “Europe's last dictatorship” – to uncover the lived reality of life under Alexander Lukashenko. As I meet locals and explore Minsk, I ask a bold question: are there bright sides to this autocratic system? Some people credit the regime with preserving economic stability post-USSR, keeping unemployment low and averting the oligarchic chaos seen elsewhere. They say limited online freedoms – like the ability to access opposition sites – create an illusion of choice. But the darker truth sits just beneath the surface. Lukashenko's heavy censorship, the criminalization of dissent – even for wearing “wrong” socks – and the ongoing use of capital punishment paint a grim picture. This episode digs into these contradictions. I speak with people benefiting from economic predictability, then confront the chilling reality of repression and human rights abuses.

Die ganze Welt redet plötzlich über „Sicherheitsgarantien“ für die Ukraine! Aber was bedeuten sie? Was müsste Deutschland leisten und wären wir am Ende sogar bereit, Soldaten zu schicken?Paul spricht darüber mit Claudia Major, Sicherheitsexpertin vom German Marshall Fund. Sie erklärt, warum echte Garantien eine Art „Lebensversicherung“ für die Ukraine wären, welche militärischen Dimensionen das hätte und weshalb Europa ohne die USA kaum handlungsfähig ist. Außerdem: Warum ein halbgarer Waffenstillstand ein neues „Minsk“ wäre und wie groß die Gefahr ist, dass Russland genau darauf setzt.Eine Folge über Glaubwürdigkeit, Abschreckung und die entscheidende Frage: Was ist Europas Sicherheit wert?Wenn euch der Podcast gefällt, dann lasst gerne Like & Abo da!Ihr habt Fragen, Kritik oder Themenvorschläge?

In this episode of The Power Vertical Podcast, host Brian Whitmore speaks with David Kramer, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, and Serhiy Kudelia, Associate Professor of Political Science at Baylor University, about the high-stakes Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. With the meeting unfolding as the episode was recorded, they analyze the possible scenarios—from capitulation to a Minsk 3-style ceasefire to the status quo—and explore how each could impact Ukraine, Europe, and U.S.-Russia relations. They also examine the broader strategic goals at play, the political signals from Washington, and what history might teach us about moments like this.

На фоне пагаршэння сітуацыі з міграцыйным заканадаўствам у шэрагу краін Еўрасаюза і ЗША рашэнне Германіі прыпыніць выдачу гуманітарных віз выглядае не больш, чым непрыемным момантам. Але насамрэч ён можа мець непрыемныя, а часам і катастрафічныя наступствы для беларусаў, якія шукаюць магчымасці выехаць з краіны з-за пераследу. Але насуперак усім гэтым пагаршэнням беларусы не апускаюць рукі і працягваюць рабіць сваю беларускую справу: праз прасоўванне нашых інтарэсаў, праз культурніцкую дыпламатыю. Што стала нагодай для такога рашэння ўладаў Германіі наконт гумвіз і якіх “сюрпрызаў” чакаць далей? Як за пяць гадоў у эміграцыі змяніўся стан культуры і культурніцкага менеджэменту і ці ёсць чым хваліцца? Ці адбудзецца сёлета на мюнхеншчыне ІV беларуска-нямецкі фэстываль культуры Minsk x Minga і з якой праграмай? На гэтыя ды іншыя пытанні ў эфіры Еўрарадыё адказвае сяброўка Пашыранай рады беларускага аб'яднання ў Германіі Razam, каардынатарка фестывалю Minsk x Minga, супрацоўніца Універсітэту Пасаў (The University of Passau) Хрысціна Дарапей

Il y a cinq ans, les Biélorusses votaient pour élire leur président. Une élection une nouvelle fois marquée par une fraude massive qui a permis la réélection d'Alexandre Loukachenko, au pouvoir depuis 1994. Mais en 2020, à la différence des autres années, les Biélorusses sont descendus en masse dans les rues pour protester. Des manifestations qui ont été réprimées dans le sang. Cinq ans après, les persécutions se poursuivent. Près de 1 200 prisonniers politiques sont en prison et 500 000 Biélorusses ont quitté leur pays pour fuir la répression. Ils se sont surtout installés en Pologne et en Lituanie.

We are Different Parashat Balak tells of how Balak, the king of Moab, summoned Bilam and hired him to place a curse on Beneh Yisrael so they would be annihilated. The plan backfired, as G-d repeatedly forced Balak to bless Beneh Yisrael, instead. Bilam began his first blessing by noting that Balak brought him from his homeland, Aram, for the purpose of cursing Beneh Yisrael (23:7). We must ask, why is this detail important? Of what significance is it that Bilam was brought to Moab specifically from the region of Aram? A deep answer to this question was suggested by Rav David Tevel of Minsk (1794-1861), in his work Nahalat David. He explains that Balak's scheme was not at all rash or haphazard; it was very carefully devised and crafted. Balak explored the origins of this nation – Beneh Yisrael – by whom he felt so threatened, and he discovered that they originated from Aram Naharayim. It was there where Abraham Abinu was raised, and from where the family later journeyed toward the Land of Israel. Balak figured that his best chance to destroy Am Yisrael would be by finding someone with the same origins, another person from Aram. As we know, the greatest pain that can inflicted upon someone is from somebody close to him. (Thus, for example, an insult from an immediate family member hurts far more than an insult from somebody who is not part of the family. And an insult from a community member hurts far more than an insult from a total stranger.) Balak thought that if he could bring somebody from Aram to oppose and inflict harm upon Beneh Yisrael, this would be their undoing. His strategy was to bring someone from Aram, an "insider," who could bring Beneh Yisrael down. However, the Nahalat David explains, Balak made a grave mistake. He did not realize that although Abraham indeed grew up in Aram, he had since been completely detached from his background. When G-d first spoke to Abraham, He commanded him to leave his country, his birthplace, and his father's home (Bereshit 12:1) – referring to not simply geographical relocation, but to complete dissociation from his past. Abraham's move to Eretz Yisrael constituted a clean break from his family background, the start of something completely new. The Nahalat David explains that this is why Abraham and Sara were naturally unable to beget children, and they produced a child through a miracle. The establishment of Am Yisrael marked the creation of an entirely new line, with no biological connection to Abraham and Sara's family background. This is also why Abraham and Sara's names were changed – from Abram to Abraham, and from Sarai to Sara – to indicate that they underwent a fundamental transformation and rebirths. Indeed, Bilam pronounces in his first blessing, "For from the top of rocks I see them, and I look upon them from the hills" (23:9). Rashi writes that this refers to the Abot (patriarchs) and Imahot (matriarchs). Bilam was saying that Beneh Yisrael are rooted in greatness, stemming from their sacred, righteous ancestors, and thus cannot be cursed. The Nahalat David explains that Bilam was observing that Beneh Yisrael's roots extend no further than the Abot and Imahot. They do not trace their lineage back to Abraham's parents and forebears – because they are a fundamentally new and distinct entity, bearing no connection at all to Abraham's origins in Aram. As the verse continues, "Hen Am Le'badad Yishkon U'ba'goyim Lo Yit'hashab" – "Behold, they are a nation that dwells alone, and is not reckoned among the other nations." The "genes" of Aram, so-to-speak, never made it to Avraham Avinu's descendants. They have no attachment to any other people, and so Balak's plan was doomed to fail already from the outset. The Jewish People are different, and we are meant to be different. Beliefs, values and lifestyles that are accepted and popular among other nations are not necessarily acceptable to us. The things that the surrounding society prioritizes and celebrates are not necessarily for us to prioritize or celebrate. We must always live with a sense of "Am Le'badad Yishkon" – that we dwell alone, with our own traditions, our own beliefs, and our own way of life.

Edition No175 | 01-07-2025 - This is an episode based on Putin's recent speech -perhaps the most perverse and rambling one he has ever made. After listening to it, we must ask – has Vladimir Putin lost the plot? Following the EAEU summit in Minsk, Vladimir Putin answered questions from Russian journalists on June 27, 2025. This was perhaps the least consequential set of ramblings he's made to date, yet the speech is of great consequence. Because it seems that his brain is now totally dominated by a mixture of resentment, lies and delusions. As Vlad Vexler has insight-fully pointed out in a recent video, Putin seemed not to be addressing the world in his responses, nor an internal audience, nor the so-called Russian elite. Rather, this sounded like an internal monologue, unfiltered and unvarnished. It was also deeply unhinged. ----------"They'll Die Themselves Soon” Putin said of Europe. Is this because he is trying hard to bring this about, or he fervently believes it will happen? A kind of ‘inevitable' historical mythology, something like Marxism? Putin's speech was part war cry, part peace overture, and entirely delusional. Putin once again took to the stage — not to chart a path to peace, but to perform a geopolitical pantomime: a speech to no one in particular, the world, his own people? It contained within it two rhetorical tricks. Yes, Putin is more than a one trick donkey. The first, menace, the other, misdirection.----------DESCRIPTIONPutin's Delusional Speech and Global Reactions: Analysis and ImplicationsIn this episode, we delve into Vladimir Putin's recent speech at the EAEU summit in Minsk on June 27th, 2025. The speech, marked by delusional claims and unfiltered rhetoric, raises questions about Putin's state of mind and strategic intentions. We analyze his assertions about Russia's position in the Ukraine war, his dismissive remarks about the West, and his unexpected admiration for Donald Trump. The episode also covers the global reactions, including responses from European leaders and NATO, who see through Putin's manipulative strategies. Key themes such as Putin's distorted portrayal of Russia as a victim, his misleading economic claims, and his call for peace under Russian terms are critically examined. This episode underscores the urgent need for unity and decisive action in the face of ongoing Russian aggression.----------CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Support Acknowledgment00:36 Putin's Delusional Speech Overview02:01 Key Points from Putin's Speech03:48 Putin's Manipulative Tactics06:16 International Reactions to Putin's Speech07:37 Economic and Military Realities09:52 Putin's Continued Aggression and Delusions11:33 Summary and Analysis of Putin's Speech22:02 Final Thoughts and Implications----------LINKS: http://www.en.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/77316 https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-says-russia-plans-cut-military-spending-next-year-2025-06-27/https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/06/28/7519200/https://euromaidanpress.com/2025/06/27/west-keeps-trying-to-bury-russia-but-they-will-die-themselves-soon-says-putin-in-new-speech/----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Pirms pāris dienām ASV prezidents Donalds Tramps savā sociālajā tīklā paziņoja, ka esot panākta vienošanās par uguns pārtraukšanu starp Irānu un Izraēlu. Savukārt Baltkrievijā no režīma cietumiem atbrīvoti un Lietuvā ieradušies četrpadsmit politieslodzītie. Ārvalstu aktualitātes apspriežam kopā ar ārpolitikas ekspertu Andi Kudoru un Latvijas Radio Ziņu dienesta ārzemju ziņu korespondentu Rihardu Plūmi. * Divpadsmitdienu karš? 23. jūnija pievakarē pēc Savienoto Valstu Austrumkrasta laika prezidents Tramps savā sociālajā tīklā paziņoja, ka esot panākta vienošanās par uguns pārtraukšanu starp Irānu un Izraēlu ar 25. jūniju. Līdz ar to „Divpadsmitdienu karš”, kā to nodēvēja prezidents, esot noslēdzies. Vai šis apzīmējums patiešām ieiesies, respektīvi, vai uguns pārtraukšana, kura vakar sāka izskatīties diezgan cerīgi, paliks spēkā un pāraugs zināmā noregulējumā – par to pagaidām drošas pārliecības, protams, nav. Kā zināms, 22. jūnijs nesa jaunu pavērsienu militārajā sadursmē, kad amerikāņu gaisa spēku bumbvedēji B-2 raidīja vairākas lieljaudas vadāmās aviobumbas, savukārt jūras spēki – spārnotās raķetes „Tomahawk” pa trim Irānas kodolobjektiem: urāna bagātināšanas rūpnīcām Fordo un Natanzā, kā arī Isfahānas kodoltehnoloģiju centru. Tika laisti darbā jaudīgākie konvencionālie ieroči, kādu Izraēlas rīcībā nav, un kuri, kā tika lēsts, varētu nodarīt Irānas kodolprogrammai izšķirošu postu. Drīz pēc tam Vašingtona sāka bombardēt abas konfliktējošās puses ar uguns pārtraukšanas prasījumiem. Irānas ārlietu ministrs Abass Aragči reaģēja uz prezidenta Trampa paziņojumu par uguns pārtraukšanu, sakot, ka vienošanās gan vēl neesot panākta, bet Irāna ir gatava pārtraukt triecienus otrdienas agrā rītā, ja Izraēla rīkosies tāpat. Dažas stundas vēlāk arī Izraēlas puse paziņoja, ka esot gatava uguns pārtraukšanai, jo karadarbības mērķi sasniegti. Otrdienas rītā gan no Irānas puses pret Izraēlu esot raidītas divas raķetes, un par atbildi Izraēlas gaisa spēki uzbrukuši kādam radaram Teherānas pievārtē, taču pēc tam patiešām iestājies klusums. Cik var spriest, izšķirošais bijis Donalda Trampa telefona zvans premjeram Netanjahu. Vakarā Irāna atvērusi savu gaisa telpu civilās aviācijas lidojumiem, savukārt Izraēla atcēlusi iedzīvotājiem noteiktos ierobežojumus un ziņojusi par lidostu darbības atsākšanu. Zīmīgi, ka abas puses dēvē sevi par uzvarētājām. Premjers Netanjahu paudis, ka viņa valsts vēsturiskās uzvaras nozīme nezudīšot paaudzēm ilgi. Viņa Irānas kolēģis Masuds Pezeškiāns, savukārt, izteicies, ka Izraēla esot saņēmusi „smagu un vēsturisku” pārmācīšanu. Irānas kodolprogramma, kā apgalvo tās valdība, nepavisam neesot sagrauta. Ko līdzīgu pauž arī Savienoto Valstu izlūkdienestu primārais ziņojums, kura saturs tapis zināms presei. Ziņojumā pausts, ka izraēliešu un amerikāņu uzlidojumi varētu būt nobremzējuši Irānas kodolprogrammas gaitu vien uz dažiem mēnešiem. Attiecīgās mediju ziņas likušas pukoties prezidentam Trampam, kurš amerikāņu uzlidojumus Irānai dēvē par vienu no sekmīgākajiem militārajiem triecieniem pasaules vēsturē. Daži brīvībā, tūkstotis paliek aiz restēm Sestdien Savienoto Valstu prezidenta īpašais sūtnis Kīts Kellogs apmeklēja Minsku, kur tikās ar Baltkrievijas autoritāro vadoni Aļaksandru Lukašenku. Nākamajā dienā mediji izplatīja ziņu, ka no režīma cietumiem atbrīvoti un Lietuvā ieradušies četrpadsmit politieslodzītie. Daļa no atbrīvotajiem ir ārvalstu pilsoņi vai personas ar dubultu pilsonību – Zviedrijas, Polijas, Japānas un arī divi Latvijas valstspiederīgie. Bet īpaši nozīmīgu šo Minskas autokrāta žestu padara baltkrievu opozīcijas līdera Sjarheja Cihanouska izlaišana no cietuma. Cihanouskis, blogeris un uzņēmējs, atļāvās mest izaicinājumu diktatoram 2020. gada vēlēšanās. Tieši viņš priekšvēlēšanu kampaņas laikā asociēja ūsaino vadoni ar tarakānu, kurš būtu nospiežams ar čību. Baltkrievijas Centrālā vēlēšanu komisija lēma nepielaist blogeri vēlēšanām, un drīz pēc tam viņš tika aizturēts. Stafeti no vīra pārņēmusī Svetlana Cihanouska, startējot kā apvienotās opozīcijas kandidāte, vēlēšanās, domājams, saņēma daudz vairāk nekā varas oficiāli atzītos 10 % balsu. Svetlanai Cihanouskai nācās bēgt no Baltkrievijas, savukārt Sjarhejam tika piespriesti astoņpadsmit gadi cietumā, apsūdzot viņu masu nekārtību organizēšanā un naida kurināšanā. Tagad, sabijis aiz restēm piecus gadus, viņš ir brīvībā un atkal kopā ar ģimeni, kaut pārvērties līdz nepazīšanai. Visus šos gadus viņam bija liegta saziņa ar tuviniekiem, un 2023. gadā Svetlana Cihanouska pat esot saņēmusi ziņas par vīra nāvi, kas gan, kā redzams, izrādījušās nepatiesas. Preses konferencē atbrīvotais stāstīja, ka viņam bijusi liegta ne vien sarakste un pieeja medijiem, bet arī elementāri higiēnas līdzekļi kā ziepes un zobu birste. Prezidentam Trampam, pauda Cihanouskis, esot vara un iespējas ar vienu vārdu panākt visu baltkrievu politieslodzīto atbrīvošanu, un viņš lūdzot Trampu teikt šo vārdu. Pēc Baltkrievijas opozīcijas ziņām režīma cietumos atrodas vēl apmēram 1150 politieslodzīto. Par šo četrpadsmit atbrīvošanu diktators Lukašenka neesot saņēmis pretī neko vairāk kā pašu sūtņa Kelloga vizītes faktu diplomātiski no Rietumiem praktiski izolētajā Minskā. Kā spriež BBC Austrumeiropas un Dienvideiropas korespondente Sarā Reinsforde, diktators esot izsvēris, ka iespējamie ieguvumi no prominentā politieslodzītā atbrīvošanas esot nozīmīgāki par iespējamajiem riskiem.

На айчыннай метал-сцэне з'явіўся новы гурт — “Hangover in Minsk”. Больш за тое, гэта такі адмысловы праект, які самі музыкі называюць “фестывальным DSBM з жаночым вакалам з Польшчы/Беларусі”. Гурт “Hangover in Minsk” быў створаны ў стане пахмелля пасля фестывалю “Dark Easter Metal Meeting 2024”. Усё пачалося з жартаў пра “дэпрэсіўны піўны метал” падчас 12-гадзіннай паездкі з Мюнхена ў Варшаву. І працягнулася дэбютным альбомам “Party Is Over” з удзелам гасцей Déhá і Кіма Карлсана, які выйшаў 16 красавіка 2025. “На першы погляд можа падацца, што гэта бестурботны альбом пра п'янку. Але насамрэч гэта гісторыя страты. Гэта музыка пра спробу патапіць свой боль у алкаголі — і ў нейкі момант табе нават становіцца крыху весела. Ты сыходзіш у запой, бо здаецца, што губляць ужо няма чаго. Але ў выніку пахмелле ўсё адно наганяе цябе,” — кажуць музыкі, адстаўляючы пустыя келіхі... Як насамрэч нарадзілася ідэя гурта “Hangover in Minsk” і ці варта таго яно было? Ці сапраўды існуе такі музычны стыль, як “дэпрэсіўны піўны метал” і ці маюць музыкі рэцэпт ратавання ад пахмелля? Як прыхільнікі сустрэлі новы праект і ці мае ён перспектывы на заходняй метал-сцэне? На гэтыя ды іншыя пытанні ў жывым эфіры Еўрарадыё адказваюць заснавальнікі і ўдзельнікі гуртоў “Hangover in Minsk” і “Dymna Lotva” Кацярына Манкевіч і Яўген Чаркасаў

Zac Alcampo, Creative Director at Grow Your Center, brings a fresh perspective to leadership, culture, and creativity in early education. With two decades of experience in the gaming industry, Zac is a dynamic entrepreneur and inventive strategist who has helped build immersive digital experiences that merge gamification, artificial intelligence, and user engagement. Now, he's applying those same ideas to the world of child care — reimagining everything from team collaboration to marketing to parenting itself.   In this episode, Zac joins Kris to talk about gamification in parenting, business, and leadership. They cover how AI can boost productivity and creativity, how to use jam-style collaboration in your team culture, and how behavioral design can be a powerful tool in both the classroom and the breakroom.   Key Takeaways: [6:15] Kris shares her summer travel adventures and spiritual coaching work. [7:48] Zac joins from Minsk, Belarus, where he splits his days between parenting and leading creative tech projects. [9:12] Zac explains how his video game industry background led him to gamify tools at Grow Your Center. [13:24] From Microsoft to Bangkok startups, Zac's global career shaped how he solves problems creatively and at scale. [18:23] He shares how he co-parents a bilingual preschooler and how every moment becomes a playful game. [25:51] Fun fact: Zac is a seasoned street dancer and battle organizer who once crowdfunded a street culture festival in Thailand! [33:07] Kris and Zac talk about the tools that the GYC team uses to build next-level content. [37:48] Zac explains how “art directing” AI is the key to using it effectively. It's not about replacing creativity but amplifying it. [45:31] Zac outlines the structure of a “session” — collaborative cycles that build energy, creativity, and connection. [48:26] Gamification isn't just games; it's strategic behavior design. Done well, it increases engagement without being overwhelming. [53:45] Ideas for using gamification in parent events, leadership retreats, classroom behavior, and team training. [55:08] Tip: Split leaderboards into categories so everyone has a lane where they can win and feel valued. [56:28] S3 clients will soon see new gamified systems for onboarding, tracking progress, and celebrating wins. [58:59] Zac spills some beans on what's coming to S3, including visual progress tools, Slack AI, and more rewards. [1:01:35] Zac shares what he's most excited about: launching the M3 platform (Marketing Made Easy) for 2026.   Quotes: “I always tell people, GYC is childcare center marketing on the outside, but inside it's this crazy, cool tech, innovative kind of machine going on inside.” — Zac [9:40] “I have to say, I have a huge sense of purpose with everything that I've learned in my career beforehand and applying it to child care centers.” — Zac [12:10] “Everything turns into a game, and it's quickly become like having a little best friend.” — Zac [18:50] “That's the biggest thing, the mentality shift in the team, instead of like a doer, or just like, you know, a run-of-the-mill worker, really put into their heads to just act like the art director of what you're doing, and use the AI as a pencil, a really, really fast pencil. And you still have to know what looks good. You still have to have your design principles and your theory in there, but you can just produce so much more content with that.” — Zac [40:11]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal Zac Alcampo LinkedIn

De spanning liep de afgelopen weken op: gaat de Russische president Poetin om tafel met z'n Oekraïense collega Zelensky? Het antwoord kennen we inmiddels: nee. De delegatie die Poetin wel stuurt, laat volgens Ruslandkenner Hubert Smeets zien hoe hij naar de oorlog kijkt: de tactiek is vooral om de onderhandelingen te vertragen. Dat terwijl het een moment zou kunnen zijn geweest waarop wat zou kunnen keren, na een lange lijst aan onderhandelingen sinds het conflict begon tussen Oekraïne en Rusland ruim 10 jaar geleden. De twee zaten één keer eerder met elkaar om tafel in 2019. In Podcast De Dag blikt Smeets terug op die ontmoeting. Zelensky hoopte de verhoudingen met buurland Rusland toen nog te verbeteren. Maar die hoop is met de jaren oorlog vervlogen. Er is onderhandeld in Parijs, in Minsk, in Istanbul en in Riyadh. Met bemiddelaars Frankrijk, Duitsland, Turkije en de VS. Maar na al deze onderhandeltafels zijn beide partijen veranderd volgens Hubert Smeets. Beide kanten zijn meer en meer uit elkaar gedreven. Reageren?

Cet investissement de 10 milliards de zlotys (2,3 milliards d'euros) le long de la frontière avec la Russie et la Biélorussie doit servir à consolider la frontière est de l'Europe pour la rendre imperméable à toute tentative d'invasion venue de Moscou ou de Minsk. Près d'un an après son annonce par le gouvernement polonais, les premiers tronçons de travaux ont déjà été réalisés à la lisière de l'enclave de Kaliningrad, avec l'ambition de faire de cette frontière la plus sécurisée d'Europe. De notre correspondant de retour de Braniewo, Pour se rendre dans ce lieu hautement stratégique, l'armée nous a donné rendez-vous près de la frontière et nous fait monter dans un véhicule militaire. Encore quelques mètres sur un sentier boueux et voilà qu'apparaissent les impressionnantes installations qui bordent la clôture frontalière. Cette portion du « bouclier oriental » a été entièrement réalisée par la brigade d'ingénieurs militaires d'Iwona Misiarz. Elle repose principalement sur un alignement de dents de dragons, des blocs de pierre triangulaires qui doivent faire office de rempart face aux chars russes. « Sur la droite, on a creusé un fossé antichar, et sur la gauche, il y a la première rangée de dents de dragon, décrit-elle. Puis, vous avez une surface qui peut éventuellement devenir un champ de mines antichar, et enfin une nouvelle rangée de dents de dragon. »Un parcours d'obstacles qui ne prétend pas bloquer complètement la route aux Russes en cas d'invasion, mais qui vise à les ralentir. « Les barrages d'ingénierie ont pour but de forcer l'ennemi à abandonner le maximum de son équipement militaire ici, explique Iwona Misiarz. Histoire de lui montrer que s'il veut nous mordre, il y laissera des dents. Et c'est aussi pour la sécurité des habitants, car plus on a de temps pour procéder à des évacuations, mieux c'est. » À lire aussiPologne : devant la menace russe, les formations militaires en faveur des civils se multiplient Une initiative qui ne fait pas l'unanimitéDepuis son exploitation agricole, Sergiusz, le chef de la localité voisine, se réjouit de voir l'armée prendre les devants pour anticiper une éventuelle invasion russe. « On a vraiment besoin de ce bouclier, affirme-t-il. Et on est pour sa construction, c'est une très bonne chose. Il faut se protéger de ces bandits de Russes. » À peine a-t-il fini sa phrase qu'un véhicule des garde-frontières se gare devant sa ferme pour contrôler notre identité. Ils disent avoir repéré notre véhicule, inconnu sur leurs registres. « Ce sont des gens bien ! », réagit Sergiusz. « Ils sont aux aguets, ils surveillent pour qu'on soit en sécurité et pour s'assurer que personne ne traverse la frontière. » Mais quelques mètres plus loin, au milieu de ses ruches, Stefan est plus dubitatif quant à la nécessité de tout ce dispositif : « Aujourd'hui, ça va un peu mieux, même si on est toujours sur nos gardes. Je pense qu'on s'y est habitué et que le temps a passé, le pire est derrière nous. » Pour lui, la peur d'une agression russe s'est apaisée avec le temps.Dans le village voisin, Marta ose même parler d'une simple opération de communication de l'armée. Pour elle, l'hypothèse d'une invasion russe par Kaliningrad relève du fantasme. « Ça leur ferait plus de mal qu'autre chose d'envoyer des missiles dans notre région, soutient-elle. Peut-être sur Varsovie à la limite, mais je n'y crois pas vraiment... Parce qu'ici, il n'y a rien ! Ils vont lancer des missiles sur nos petites maisons et dans nos champs ? Des missiles à plusieurs millions ? Quel intérêt pour eux ? »Le bouclier oriental doit être terminé d'ici à trois ans, en 2028, mais le ministère de la Défense reconnaît déjà que les travaux colossaux se poursuivront probablement au-delà de ce délai. À lire aussiL'engagement militaire des jeunes polonais

This week, Ben and Zach are joined by two organizers based in Palestine-Israel whose lives and political journeys inform powerful reflections on displacement, state oppression, solidarity, and the possibilities of joint struggle.Kastuś, originally from Minsk, has moved through various diasporic contexts—Belarus, Australia, and now Tel Aviv — shares his path from growing up under authoritarianism to joining the Belarusian uprising in 2020, and working with Kompass Media (Ep. 26) and on his own to alleviate harm and expose the reality of state (and state-backed) violence.Mohammed, a 48' Palestinian from Umm al-Fahm, brings deep insight from growing up as part of an activist family and community, and reflects on his experience as a Palestinian student at an Israeli university in the wake of October 7.Our conversation draws provocative parallels between the histories of European Jews and Palestinians—without flattening their differences—as a way to think about shared experiences of dispossession, repression, and resistance. On this 82nd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, it is as important as ever to reject nationalist histories and challenge all forms of domination and hate.Learn more a bout the Polish-Belarusian (EU) Border Refugee crisis and consider supporting activists here!

La prison ou l'exil. C'est le sort réservé aux acteurs de la scène musicale underground au Bélarus, s'ils se risquent à des paroles ou des actes trop contestataires. Depuis 2020 et la répression de manifestations inédites contre le pouvoir de l'autocrate Alexandre Loukachenko, aucune opposition n'est tolérée dans le pays. De nombreux musiciens ont été pourchassés pour leur soutien au soulèvement populaire ou leur opposition à l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie.Après la fuite massive des cerveaux créatifs, ceux qui restent au Bélarus tentent aujourd'hui de recoller les morceaux de la scène underground et d'offrir un exutoire à l'expression culturelle.Sur le Fil a pu assister à l'un de ces concerts à Minsk, avec sur le terrain, Thomas O'Callaghan et Robin Bjalon.Avec l'éclairage de Yauheni Kryzhanouski, enseignant chercheur à Sciences po Strasbourg et auteur de "Contester par la musique sous régime autoritaire : la politisation du rock au Bélarus" (Editions du Croquant, 2022).

In today's war diary, Nikolai Sobolev and Alexey Arestovich discussed the main news on the 1119th day of war:➤ 00:00 Nikolay Sobolev: Who is Alexey Arestovich?➤ 02:07 What is the "new world" and what was the "old" one?➤ 05:33 Trump's arrival - a step back in building the security architecture of the modern world?➤ 06:19 Four years of Trump, Musk and Vance - a reaction or a revolution?➤ 07:30 What's wrong with the liberal democratic project? Time for the fall of idols.➤ 10:40 Is Trump's rhetoric ethical? Trump is a technical "good", a figure of transition. He does not bring something new, he destroys the old.➤ 12:56 Conspiracy theories.➤ 15:41 Who is J.D. Vance? His biography is a set of crises. Mature thinking in the category of the common good.➤ 20:55 Can humanity overcome wars? There will be wars as long as politics exists. Politics will exist as long as there is a difference between people. Wars can become less intense thanks to the economy.➤ 24:00 The hot phase of the war may end in 2025. Ukraine is a "sacred wound" for Russia. Russia will never leave Ukraine alone. What to do about it?➤ 27:28 The project for an independent Ukraine has failed.➤ 28:30 The deal on rare earth metals is the best possible guarantee of Ukraine's security. Only the Russian Federation can give Ukraine the other real guarantee of security. Ukraine's proposal to Russia.➤ 32:54 Criticism of the "UPA dugouts".➤ 33:41 What could be the contours of the "Minsk-3" peace agreement? People calling for "fighting to the last Ukrainian" are not in Ukraine themselves.➤ 35:36 The key point of the peace agreement is the number of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. A deal with the Russian Federation is possible if Trump offers bonuses that exceed the Kremlin's fears regarding the numbers of the Ukrainian army.➤ 38:49 Corruption in a country at war: Zelensky organized it. These schemes will be made public later. He does not think in terms of the common good.➤ 40:12 Zelensky's political hypocrisy. Plans to create a special tribunal to investigate decisions made since 2014 as a vaccination for future Ukrainian politicians - there should be no impunity.➤ 42:12 Russian military aggression and its hybrid operations.

Political emigration - the danger has not been removed yet. Understanding the cause-and-effect mechanisms of war.➤ 49:00 Narratives promoted by the West since 2004: the victim is always right; you were a colony of Russia; you must contain Russia. Hundreds of millions of dollars were allocated to them.➤ 50:45 When Oleksiy Arestovych becomes the president of Ukraine: rethinking the imperial and Soviet past.➤ 53:45 What percentage of Ukrainians support the war party? Sociology is losing relevance when the global background changes.➤ 55:25 "I don't want to. But you have no choice." I am the next president and the only one who will ensure peace. Accept this as a fact. If not me, Ukraine will not cope.➤ 58:45 We must end democracy. We will all die if we follow democratic mechanisms. We need direct presidential rule and a state of emergency.➤ 59:51 Symphony instead of Empire: my architecture of the future. I am not going to be a monarch.

C dans l'air du 14 mars 2025 - Trump / Poutine : qui mène le jeu ?Si Volodymyr Zelensky a accepté sans conditions un cessez-le-feu de trente jours, Vladimir Poutine s'est dit "pour" la trêve proposée par Washington… tout en prévenant qu'il restait des "questions importantes" à régler concernant sa mise en œuvre. Donald Trump, qui a déjà adopté nombre des positions du Kremlin au grand dam de Kiev et de l'Europe, veut que Moscou fasse taire les armes au plus vite. Mais le maître du Kremlin semble vouloir faire durer les choses. D'autant que les troupes russes ont l'avantage sur le terrain, après avoir repris ces derniers jours des territoires contrôlés par l'Ukraine depuis l'été, dans la région russe de Koursk.Dans ce contexte, Vladimir Poutine a reçu hier soir l'émissaire américain Steve Witkoff, qu'il a chargé de remettre un message avec "des indications supplémentaires" à l'attention de Donald Trump. Quand celles-ci seront transmises, "nous déterminerons le timing pour une conversation" entre les deux présidents, a expliqué le porte-parole du Kremlin, Dmitri Peskov.Jusqu'à présent, la Russie n'a pas renoncé à ses conditions pour mettre fin aux combats : une reddition ukrainienne, une cession par l'Ukraine de cinq régions annexées par la Russie, l'abandon des ambitions de Kiev de rejoindre l'Otan et le démantèlement du pouvoir ukrainien en place. Sur son compte Telegram, le président ukrainien a dénoncé les "manipulations" de Vladimir Poutine, l'accusant de "faire traîner les choses". Berlin a pointé vendredi une "manœuvre dilatoire" de Poutine quand Donald Trump reste optimiste. « Nous avons eu hier des discussions très positives et productives avec le président russe, Vladimir Poutine, et il y a de fortes chances que cette guerre horrible et sanglante s'achève enfin », a écrit le président des Etats-Unis sur son réseau, Truth Social.Alors une trêve est-elle proche ? Quand est-il réellement ? Quelles sont les conditions discutées entre Donald Trump et Vladimir Poutine ? Si les deux dirigeants doivent échanger prochainement, sur le front les combats se poursuivent et la population demeure inquiète. Car les Ukrainiens savent d'expérience que la Russie n'a jamais respecté les cessez-le-feu conclus par le passé, dans le cadre des Accords de Minsk, et qu'ils doivent rester prêts. Ils sont soutenus sur ce point par les pays européens, notamment la Pologne et l'Estonie sur le pied de guerre depuis plusieurs mois. Nos journalistes se sont rendus en Estonie rencontrer des habitants, inquiets, face à la menace russe.En France, une résolution symbolique prévoyant notamment la saisie des avoirs russes pour aider Kiev a été largement adoptée mercredi. Mais le score est loin d'afficher une union nationale : le RN et son allié ciottiste ont décidé de s'abstenir, LFI et les communistes ont voté contre.Les experts :- Général Dominique TRINQUAND - Ancien chef de la mission militaire française auprès de l'ONU, auteur de "D'un monde à l'autre" - Nicole BACHARAN - Historienne et politologue, spécialiste des États-Unis, éditorialiste - Ouest France - Annie DAUBENTON - Journaliste-essayiste, auteure de Ukraine, les métamorphoses de l'indépendance - Guillaume LAGANE - Spécialiste des questions de défense, maître de conférences à sciences Po- Julian COLLING (en duplex Koursk) - Journaliste indépendant

Trump is losing it bigly. He's being fooled or he's fooling us over Ukraine ceasefire. The Syrian pogrom. 'Christians to Beirut, Alawites to the grave.' The ghoulish truth. They want to drive them into the sea. 'We predicted it would happen.' Syrian Girl on the m*rders of the minorities, captured on the cameras of the killers. It cannot be denied.Scott Ritter: Former UN Weapons Inspector and Marine Corps Intelligence Officer, Author and Political Analyst.- Twitter: https://twitter.com/realscottritter- Rumble: https://rumble.com/v27scfr-scott-ritter-extra-ep.-41-ask-the-inspector.html@Scott Ritter Extra - YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ScottRitterAgain- Website: ScottRitterExtra.com- Telegram: https://t.me/ScottRitter Become a MOATS Graduate at https://plus.acast.com/s/moatswithgorgegalloway.

HAS THE IRON CURTAIN RETURNED? 4/4: The Picnic:A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain by  Matthew Longo  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Picnic-Dream-Freedom-Collapse-Curtain/dp/0393540774/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= In August 1989, a group of Hungarian activists organized a picnic on the border of Hungary and Austria. But this was not an ordinary picnic―it was located on the dangerous militarized frontier known as the Iron Curtain. Tacit permission from the highest state authorities could be revoked at any moment. On wisps of rumor, thousands of East German “vacationers” packed Hungarian campgrounds, awaiting an opportunity, fearing prison, surveilled by lurking Stasi agents. The Pan-European Picnic set the stage for the greatest border breach in Cold War history: hundreds crossed from the Communist East to the longed-for freedom of the West. Drawing on dozens of original interviews―including Hungarian activists and border guards, East German refugees, Stasi secret police, and the last Communist prime minister of Hungary―Matthew Longo tells a gripping and revelatory tale of the unraveling of the Iron Curtain and the birth of a new world order. Just a few months after the Picnic, the Berlin Wall fell, and the freedom for which the activists and refugees had abandoned their homes, risked imprisonment, sacrificed jobs, family, and friends, was suddenly available to everyone. But were they really free? And why, three decades since the Iron Curtain was torn down, have so many sought once again to build walls? Cinematically told, The Picnic recovers a time when it seemed possible for the world to change. With insight and panache, Longo explores the opportunities taken―and the opportunities we failed to take―in that pivotal moment. 1930 MINSK
