The foreign ministers have to ratify the decision, which would not prevent them from entering community territory, so as not to put even more obstacles to diplomatic negotiations.

The foreign ministers of the European Union are going to formalize today, Friday, the second package of sanctions against Russia for the invasion of Ukraine. And among the measures, one that had not been agreed upon last night, after the summit of the heads of state and government: freezing the assets of Vladimir Putin and his Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov.

Community and diplomatic sources have advanced this noon and the Austrian minister, Alexander Schallenberg, and the high representative Josep Borrell, have confirmed it upon their arrival at the meeting, explaining that the idea is to freeze the possible accounts that both have in community entities, but not prevent their entry into community territory, as has been applied to hundreds of citizens of the country since 2015 for their participation or responsibility in the annexation of Ukrainian territories.

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas had said in the early morning that the leaders had shown unity on the idea, but there were some reservations about the most appropriate time to apply it. “The decision is going to be made by the Foreign Affairs Council in a few minutes,” she said in Spanish when she arrived. “It is a legal act that will take place after a long discussion. The leaders talked about it, there was no clear consensus and they asked me to find a solution. We have worked hard tonight and I hope we can reach an agreement, and if there are no surprises, and nobody opposes, if there is unanimity we will certainly approve it. Personally I am very much in favor, but what matters is not what I think, but the Council. If nobody opposes, Putin and Lavrov will be on the list“.

The measure is symbolic, since Putin’s fortune is not in EU banks, but it is highly symbolic. Until now, the 27 had not wanted to target the two main faces, but rather the Minister of Defense, the president’s chief of staff, different oligarchs or the head of the Wagner group of mercenaries. The idea was to reserve ammunition as the events worsened, but the invasion, which has brought the fighting to Kiev, has been considered sufficient to take the step.

Diplomacy

Not impeding Putin and Lavrov’s access to the EU has a very clear purpose, as Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte explained on Thursday: not to make diplomatic negotiations even more difficult. “It is difficult to speak when your interlocutor cannot meet with you,” community sources explained last night. In this way you want to send two messages. On the one hand, that no one is beyond the reach of the measures, even if they are not going to have much effect. It did not make much sense that 351 deputies were punished for voting in favor of the recognition of Lugansk and Donetsk but not their two main responsible parties. And, on the other, that the door is not closed to seek the end of military operations through diplomatic channels.

The leaders of the 27 discussed the second package, but also the third, on Thursday in the community capital, according to Charles Michel, president of the European Council. The ideas were clear in general, but some countries, the most lukewarm, continue to bet on gradualism. And taking them out little by little, not all at once. Hence, Russian imports are targeted, preventing the arrival of key components both for refining oil and for the aeronautical sector. But not in exports, as the EU’s dependence on Russian coal, gas and oil is gigantic. Or also the doubts about leaving Russian banks out of Swift, the mechanism (based in Belgium) made up of 11,000 financial institutions around the globe and used to quickly communicate operations and transactions.

Kicking Russia out of the Swift has become something of a fetish, something that has been called for by prime ministers and analysts, but not convincing in Germany. Foreign Minister Olaf Scholz was the most reluctant at the leaders’ summit, returning home without speaking to the media knowing that the issue was already the news, or the scandal, of the day in his country. “Cutting off their access would mean that ordinary people would not be able to send money to their relatives in Russia,” German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock justified. Berlin believes that the measure would also have consequences for Europeans and that there are no prepared contingency plans, so it is a bad idea at the moment.

Not being in Swift would undoubtedly make communications more difficult and slow, and would force alternatives to be sought. A few years ago the system shut out Iranian banks as part of sanctions over its nuclear program. But many experts say that freezing assets or prohibiting certain ‘clearing’ operations to Russian entities, as the US has done, is much more devastating for the financial system.

The decision-making process in the EU establishes that although it is the heads of state and government who make the political decision and set the guidelines, it is the foreign ministers, at the proposal of the high representative, who must formalize the sanctions . Last night the battery was more or less outlined but the technicians of the Commission and the Council, the commercial experts and the legal services, had to polish the document to turn it into a solid legal text. Then the ambassadors of the 27 analyze it and the ministers conclude. After its approval, the measures must be published in the EU Bulletin (its BOE) to enter into force, something that is expected to happen throughout the afternoon or evening of this Friday.

For its part, the Council of Europe today “suspended” the participation of Russian diplomats and delegates in the main bodies of the pan-European organization.

The US president meets with the G7 and explains the punishments against Russia, among which its exit from the Swift banking system is not found at the moment.

US President Joe Biden has announced on Twitter that the G7 leaders, during their virtual meeting on Thursday, agreed to impose “devastating” sanctions on Russia, in response to the invasion of Ukraine. “We support the brave Ukrainian people,” the American leader said before addressing the nation.

After the meeting with the G7, Biden said that “Putin is the aggressor, he has chosen this war.” Step followed he has spoken of sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. They will be limited to the financial sector, to the export of technology that can be used in the defense, aerospace, and naval sectors, and to some personalities of the Vladimir Putin regime. They will not include the expulsion of Russia from the international Swift payment system, which would mean removing that country from the international financial system.

Nor will they cover the energy sector, which accounts for 30% of Russian GDP, 50% of state income, and 60% of Russian exports. Nor will they affect the personal accounts of Vladimir Putin, who has an estimated fortune of 180 billion euros, part of it outside Russia. The US and its allies will also release part of their strategic oil reserves to compensate for the rise in that raw material due to the invasion of Ukraine.

In the military field, the US will make its troops in Europe advance towards the countries closest to Russia and Ukraine, but it flatly rules out its intervention in the war. Washington has also not reported whether it is giving additional weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, although everything seems to indicate that this is not the case, and that the collaboration is limited to sending them intelligence on the unstoppable advance of the invaders. Meanwhile, looking ahead, more measures are being considered, such as Russia’s exclusion from the Swift or direct sanctions on Putin.

Biden’s press conference coincided with the acknowledgment by Western spy agencies that Ukraine’s capital, Kiev, is likely to fall to invaders tomorrow or the day after . Biden declared that the new sanctions will be as damaging to that country “as bullets and tanks”, and recalled that the ruble has plummeted a spectacular 35% since the invasion began.

Biden unambiguously condemned the invasion, but on the ground of practical realities, the measures imposed by the US are not going to affect Putin’s calculation. Five of the largest Russian banks will see their activities in the US banned and their assets frozen. The borrowing capacity of large corporations in that country, such as the gas giant Gazprom, will be severely limited, since they will only be able to issue short-term debt. And a number of Putin’s close associates will see their assets frozen. In total, around 2.5 trillion dollars (2.3 trillion euros) of Russian money will be tied up. In total, 50% of Russian technology imports will be cancelled. But all these measures were already expected. The sanctions did not make Putin give up the invasion. And they’re not going to change your mind.

“America stands up to thugs,” Biden has said. “Putin has committed an assault on the principles of global peace,” continued the American leader, assuring that in the coming weeks and months he will help the people of Ukraine.

“Putin will be a pariah on the international stage,” Biden has threatened. “Putin wants an empire in any way possible. He has a sinister vision for the future of our world,” she continued.

“Our allies and the United States will emerge from this stronger,” he concluded before giving way to questions from journalists. “His ambitions are totally contrary to where the rest of the world is,” he told reporters.

G7 Meeting

The group of the seven most important democratic economies in the world (G-7) has condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine and put on record after the virtual summit held this Thursday under the German presidency that Russian President Vladimir Putin has put himself on the wrong side of the history.

In a statement released by the current presidency after the meeting of the leaders of the US, Canada, Japan, France, the United Kingdom and Italy, in addition to Germany, the G-7 condemns “President Vladimir Putin for his constant refusal to participate in a diplomatic process to address European security issues, despite our repeated offers.

The Group thus lashes out at Putin for invading Ukraine despite diplomatic efforts by the West to prevent war. “President Putin has reintroduced war on the European continent. He has placed himself on the wrong side of history,” they said in a statement after a meeting chaired by Germany.

They also condemned Moscow for recognizing the breakaway Donetsk and Luhansk regions as independent from Ukraine and reiterated that these regions, along with the Crimean peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014, are “an integral part” of Ukrainian territory.

The G7 powers urged Russia to ensure the safety of OSCE monitors in Ukraine and expressed their commitment to “democracy and its common universal values” , sustainable development and the needs of the international community.

“We are united in the determination to provide common responses to both the challenges of a systemic nature and the immediate crises of our time,” the statement underlined.

Initially, an appearance before the media by Foreign Minister Olaf Scholz had been planned , at the end of the meeting convened from his role as rotating president of the group.

That appointment was later cancelled, due to the face-to-face summit between the leaders of the European Union (EU) that will take place this Thursday in Brussels, in which a package of common sanctions against Russia is expected.

In a television statement before traveling to Brussels, Scholz highlighted the unity of the Atlantic Alliance in defending the eastern flank in the event of Russian aggression. “Putin should not call NATO’s unity into question,” he stressed.

War breaks out between Russia and Ukraine: bombings leave dozens dead, the Russian army takes control of Chernobyl and advances towards Kiev.

The chancellor maintained that Russia’s attack on Ukraine is more than a war, “it is a war that has not been experienced in Europe for 75 years.” Scholz said that Putin wants to start the clock but “time does not turn back. There is no return to the time of the cold war.”

Along with the explicit mention of the Russian invasion, the declaration of the seven leaders expresses the “general” commitment to the defense of democratic systems and multilateralism on issues such as the fight against climate, environment and Covid.

Indian Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya announced on Monday that for the third time in eleven days, health authorities have vaccinated more than ten million people against the coronavirus.

Mandaviya has celebrated on his Twitter profile that September has started in India “on a high note”, in relation to the number of people who have received the vaccine in a single day, some 10.5 million, according to preliminary data from the Ministry of Health , waiting for them to be finally updated this Tuesday.

The states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar lead the highest vaccination rates in the last 24 hours. Both regions, with a significant proportion of the population over 60 years of age, had suffered further delays in their respective vaccination plans, especially with regard to the second dose.

India had achieved the daily record of doses administered on August 31, when 10.4 million were inoculated. Four days earlier it exceeded ten million for the first time.

To date, according to health authorities, more than 532 million people have received at least one dose of the vaccine, of which there are more than 163 million who already have the full schedule.

In contrast, India continues to be the second country hardest hit by the pandemic, with more than 33 million accumulated cases, almost 39,000 this Monday, although 32.1 million have already managed to overcome the disease.

On the other hand, more than 440,000 people have died, while another 404,000 continue to receive medical treatment.

The Taliban have tried to convey a more modern and moderate image, but the human rights violence by insurgents in Afghanistan is a reality that does not seem to cease. One of the current cases is the murder of the Afghan comedian, Nazar Mohammad , also known as Khasha Zwan.

The Afghan comedian was popularly known for creating content and videos , through song and dance routines, in which he poked fun at whatever topic his followers suggested to him, and the Taliban were no exception. Some of his filming had a great impact on social networks such as Tik Tok.

In addition, Nadar had diverse personalities. He also worked for the Afghan National Police , which led the Taliban to seek revenge against him.

As reported by Human Rights Watch, the events took place at the end of last July when the Taliban dragged the comedian from his home in order to shoot him.

His case has been popularly known because of a viral video spread on social networks in which he is seen how two armed insurgents slap him, in the back of a car, before being killed.

In an attempt at defense, the Taliban accused the comedian of having been involved in the torture and murder of several Taliban.

Its end was tragic . The reports show photographs of him leaning against a tree, and then lying on the ground with his throat slit . This reflects the danger Afghans are exposed to under the command of the Taliban.

The US  has terminated its military mission in Afghanistan on Monday, after the departure of the last planes with its troops. A day ahead of schedule, after 20 years of war, he ends his presence in the Afghan country, where the Taliban are in command.

The announcement of the end of the mission was given by the head of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), General Frank McKenzie, at a press conference from the Pentagon, in which he intervened electronically. US President Joe Biden will address the nation on Tuesday to justify his decision not to extend the presence of US soldiers in Afghanistan beyond August 31.

“I am here to announce our withdrawal from Afghanistan and the end of the mission to evacuate US citizens, third country nationals and vulnerable Afghans,” General McKenzie began.

McKenzie has detailed that the last US military plane, a C-17, took off from the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul this Monday at 3:29 p.m. off the US east coast (19:29 GMT).

“Now the latest drone is clearing (air) space over Afghanistan,” the CENTCOM chief said.

McKenzie added that although the military pull-back has been completed, efforts are still continuing  to ensure that more US citizens and “eligible Afghans” who want to leave can do so. 

Withdrawal today marks the end of the military part of the evacuation, but also the end of a mission that began nearly 20 years ago in Afghanistan, shortly after  September 11, 2001,” he said.

The general recalled that it was “a mission that  put an end to Osama bin Laden, along with his al Qaeda collaborators.”

Largest Noncombatant Air Evacuation In Military History

“It has not been cheap mission. The cost has been  2,461 US soldiers and civilians killed  and more than 20,000 wounded,” he remarked.

The day before the Taliban took Kabul, more than 79,000 civilians, including 6,000 Americans, were evacuated by US military aircraft at Hamid Karzai International Airport.

Together with the flights of the international coalition, this number increases to more than 123,000 evacuated civilians, but tens of thousands of Afghan civilians are still in danger in the country.

An estimated  250 US citizens would remain on Afghan soil , although authorities have not yet been able to determine whether they want to stay or leave. Besides, there are still thousands of Afghans, many of them former collaborators of the US forces, such as translators and drivers, who have not been removed from the country.

The United States has had more than 5,000 soldiers deployed in recent weeks to ensure the protection of the Afghan capital’s airport during evacuations, of which there are no longer any in the country.

McKenzie assured that the United States “always has” the right to attack the intentions of Al Qaeda or Islamic State (IS) terrorists if necessary.

Despite completing the withdrawal, McKenzie assured that the United States  “always has” the right to attack targets  of  Al Qaeda  or the Islamic State  (IS) terrorist group if necessary.

Biden Will Address The Nation On Tuesday 

In this way, the US puts an end to its withdrawal from Afghanistan  within the deadline set by the president,  Joe Biden , who set August  31 as the deadline  to finish leaving the country.

According to  a statement from the White House , the president will address the nation on Tuesday to justify his decision not to prolong the presence of his country’s troops in Afghanistan beyond August 31.

The president explained in said statement that this was the “unanimous” recommendation of the Defense General Staff  and “all” the commanders on the ground.

Biden has added in it that, according to the point of view of the military leaders, the best way to protect the soldiers and the evacuations of civilians was by ending the military mission.

The president has indicated that he has asked the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, to lead the coordination with international allies to guarantee the “safe” departure of any American, Afghan collaborators and foreign nationals who want to leave Afghanistan.

The US Will Transfer It’s Diplomatic Mission In Afghanistan To Qatar

For his part, the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has announced that Washington will transfer its diplomatic mission in Afghanistan to Qatar, a mission that will be led  by the former Chargé d’Affaires of the embassy in Kabul,  Ross Wilson .

From Doha – the Qatari capital – consular services will be offered, in addition to managing humanitarian aid for Afghanistan and working with allies and partners to “coordinate” the deal with the Taliban.

“A new episode in the US relationship with Afghanistan has begun. The military mission has ended. A new diplomatic mission has begun,” said the head of US diplomacy.

He explained that in this new era of US foreign policy towards the Central Asian country, Washington will focus first on continuing its “tireless efforts” to help Americans, foreign nationals and Afghans, who want to leave Afghanistan.

Taliban Celebrate Withdrawal 

Another of the US priorities is that the Taliban fulfill their commitment to allow people who want to travel outside the country: “They have committed to let anyone who has the proper documents leave the country safely. and orderly “. 

The Taliban have also pledged to  prevent terrorist groups from using Afghanistan as a base of operations  that could threaten the United States, but Blinken has admitted that the United States will remain “vigilant” for possible non-compliance. 

Shortly after the withdrawal was known, members of this Islamist movement  have taken control of the Kabul international airport . And a couple of hours later they have taken to the streets to  celebrate the news with shots in the air.

Taliban Celebrate US Withdrawal: “We Have Made History”

“At midnight in Afghanistan, the last group of US soldiers left the Kabul airport. The withdrawal of US forces was thus completed and  our country and the Afghans achieved their full independence, ” said one of the main spokespersons for the Taliban.

The First Afghan Refugee Woman Arrives In The Balearic Islands https://www.techsplashers.com/the-first-afghan-refugee-woman-arrives-in-the-balearic-islands/ https://www.techsplashers.com/the-first-afghan-refugee-woman-arrives-in-the-balearic-islands/#respond Tue, 31 Aug 2021 11:48:41 +0000 https://www.techsplashers.com/?p=4604 The first Afghan refugee woman from the group assigned to the Balearic Islands by the

The first Afghan refugee woman from the group assigned to the Balearic Islands by the State arrived in the Community on Monday, as announced by the Minister of Social Affairs and Sports, Fina Santiago, who did not want to specify where the woman is staying to preserve her privacy.

This is the first person of the group of 33 Afghan refugees that the State will send to the Balearic Islands. The rest will arrive “progressively”, the councilor has indicated.

The head of Social Affairs has clarified that the Community does not know if these people were collaborators of Spain in Afghanistan. “We do not ask for this information,” the councilor pointed out, pointing out that it is enough for the State to have considered that the asylum application they have presented “has enough value to be able to study it.”

Santiago has stated that the majority are families with minors. Of the figure assigned to the Balearic Islands, 22 are men (14 minors accompanied by family members) and 11 women (four minors).

The minister explained that Spain will assess the possible granting of the refugee letter to these people, and if they obtain it, they will be granted a residence permit and a work permit and they will be able to move freely throughout the eurozone.

These people will settle in the Government shelters in Playa de Palma and Son Rapinya, and their community insertion process will be managed by the Red Cross.

Fina Santiago has also indicated that it will be up to those affected to decide if they want to attend the media to tell their story. The councilor has indicated that “they have to think very well” because “they come from a very bloody situation”, but has considered that their testimony can help raise awareness about the crisis in Afghanistan.

Likewise, the councilor has trusted that in Spain they have learned from the “mistreatment” of Syrian refugees, and has considered that “initially it has been done better” than then. Regarding the reception of people rescued by the ‘Aquarius’ of Open Arms in 2018, Santiago has clarified that that case was different because they were declared economic immigrants.

Family Welcomed By The Consell

Apart from these 33 refugees who will arrive in the Balearic Islands, the Consell de Mallorca has welcomed a family evacuated from Afghanistan, but in this case they are not refugees since they have Spanish nationality. It is about a family who arrived on the island from the Torrejon base, currently hosted in a center of the Mallorquin Institute of Social Affairs (IMAS).

The Government Delegation contacted the Consell to study whether the reception was possible, since one of the family members had lived in Mallorca, so they considered that it would be a good solution for them.

The family did not have any type of family support in Spain after having lived for many years in Afghanistan, and therefore they needed a certain degree of help, said the Consell, which has included them in its comprehensive care program for families.

The president of the US, Joe Biden, has appeared at the White House after it was learned that 13 American soldiers have lost their lives in the double suicide attack committed by the Islamic State in the vicinity of the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, where The international community is carrying out evacuation of Afghan citizens after the arrival of the Taliban to power in Afghanistan.

In total, a hundred people have been injured and at least 60 people have died , although some sources put the number of people killed as one hundred. In addition, among those killed in the double attack are also several Taliban , who have condemned the massacre. The attack came after the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom warned of the high risk of attack, which is why several countries, such as Belgium, France and the Netherlands, had announced the end of their rescue missions in the country.

We will not forgive, we will forget, we will look for you, we will hunt you down and we will make you pay for this

In his message, Joe Biden assured that there would be a response from the United States and confirmed that he has asked the heads of the Armed Forces to develop different plans to attack the Islamic State. “ We will not forgive, we will forget, we will look for you, we will hunt you down and we will make you pay for this,” the US president alleged.

They Will Continue With The Evacuations Until August 31

Likewise, the head of the White House explained that the United States, in parallel to what can begin to be done against the Islamic State, will continue to evacuate people from Kabul, despite the attacks that occurred, until August 31, the deadline imposed by the Taliban to leave the country. According to Biden, they will continue with these tasks “knowing that there may be another attack”, but he affirms: ” the military has decided that this is what we have to do and I think they are right.

On the other hand, the president has assumed responsibility for what happened , for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, but he extends the blame to Donald Trump, “I assume responsibility for what has happened, but here is the key, but you know as well as I did that the previous president signed an agreement with the Taliban so that in exchange for leaving Afghanistan he would obtain a commitment that the Taliban would attack others, but not American troops.
