Agi: Stop sanzioni Usa alla Russia: critiche dell'Ue e di Kiev

AGI - Forti critiche di Europa e Ucraina alla decisione statunitense di revocare per 30 giorni le sanzioni su alcuni prodotti petroliferi di Mosca. L'amministrazione Trump consentirà per un mese l'acquisto dei carichi di idrocarburi russi rimasti in mare con l'obiettivo di alleviare l'impatto sui prezzi dell'energia della guerra in Iran e della chiusura dello Stretto di Hormuz. Ciò però contrasta con la linea seguita finora dal G7, ovvero massima pressione economica sul Cremlino per rendere sempre più costoso lo sforzo bellico contro Kiev.
"Quest'unica concessione statunitense da sola potrebbe garantire alla Russia circa 10 miliardi di dollari per la guerra. Questo di certo non aiuta la pace", ha affermato il presidente ucraino, Volodymyr Zelensky, durante una conferenza stampa congiunta a Parigi con il presidente francese, Emmanuel Macron. Secondo Zelensky, la decisione di Washington "non è molto logica" dato che "la Russia riceverà soldi per la sua macchina da guerra e ci sono molti droni costruiti in territorio russo per destabilizzare il Medio Oriente".
La posizione del G7 e le critiche europee
"La posizione comune del G7", ribadita a Trump dagli alleati durante la videoconferenza di mercoledì scorso, "è stata il mantenimento delle sanzioni contro la Russia, ed è anche la posizione di europei e Francia", ha sottolineato da parte sua Macron, "la situazione attuale non giustifica in alcun modo la revoca delle sanzioni". "Al momento c'è un problema di prezzi ma non un problema di offerta", è il commento del cancelliere tedesco, Friedrich Merz, in Norvegia per incontrare il suo omologo di Oslo, Jonas Gahr Store. "Crediamo che sia sbagliato", ha aggiunto Merz, uno dei leader europei più allineati alla Casa Bianca, "vorrei sapere quali altri fattori hanno portato il governo Usa a prendere questa decisione".
Le preoccupazioni del Consiglio europeo
Il presidente del Consiglio Europeo, Antonio Costa, ha parlato, da parte sua, di un'iniziativa "preoccupante, in quanto colpisce la sicurezza europea". "Aumentare la pressione economica sulla Russia è decisivo perché Mosca accetti un negoziato serio per una pace giusta e duratura", ha scritto su X Costa, "indebolire le sanzioni aumenta le risorse della Russia per portare avanti la guerra di aggressione contro l'Ucraina".

US sanctions against Russia: criticism from the EU and Kyiv.

NATO - Strong criticism from Europe and Ukraine of the U.S. decision to revoke sanctions on some Russian oil products for 30 days. The Trump administration will allow the purchase of remaining Russian hydrocarbon cargoes at sea for a month, aiming to alleviate the impact on energy prices due to the war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. However, this contrasts with the line taken so far by the G7, namely maximum economic pressure on the Kremlin to make the war effort against Kyiv increasingly costly.

“This single U.S. concession alone could guarantee Russia about $10 billion for the war. This certainly doesn’t help peace,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris. According to Zelensky, Washington’s decision “is not very logical” given that “Russia will receive money for its war machine and there are many drones built on Russian territory to destabilize the Middle East.”

The Position of the G7 and European Criticism
“The common position of the G7,” reiterated to Trump by allies during Wednesday’s video conference, “is the maintenance of sanctions against Russia, and it is also the position of Europeans and France,” Macron emphasized, “the current situation in no way justifies the revocation of sanctions.” “At the moment there is a problem of prices but not a problem of supply,” commented German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, in Norway to meet his counterpart Jonas Gahr Store. “We believe it’s wrong,” Merz added, one of the European leaders most aligned with the White House, “I want to know what other factors led the U.S. government to take this decision.”

Concerns of the European Council
European Council President Antonio Costa, for his part, spoke of an initiative “worrying, as it affects European security.” “Increasing economic pressure on Russia is crucial because Moscow will accept a serious negotiation for a just and lasting peace,” Costa wrote on X, “weakening sanctions increases Russia’s resources to continue the war of aggression against Ukraine.”

RaiNews: No europeo all’apertura di Trump sul petrolio russo: è un regalo a Mosca

Washington allenta le restrizioni sul greggio di Mosca per la guerra all’Iran, ma i leader europei non vogliono che diventi un aiuto al Cremlino

No European reaction to Trump’s remarks on Russian oil: it’s a gift to Moscow.

Washington is easing restrictions on Moscow’s crude oil for Iran over the war, but European leaders don’t want it to become a help to the Kremlin.

#GraceTame has said “we’re living in an #Orwellian nightmare” in a scathing critique of prime minister #AnthonyAlbanese and his government’s position on the #war in the #MiddleEast.

In an essay published in Crikey on Friday, the advocate for #sexualabusesurvivors and #humanrights #activist accused Anthony Albanese of being a “#coward” and a “#turncoat” for refusing to condemn the #US #Israel strikes on #Iran.

It was her most comprehensive rebuke of the PM since he called her “difficult” at a News Corp event when he was asked to describe public figures in one word. He later claimed he meant to describe her “difficult life”.

Tame, who was named #AustralianoftheYear in 2021, said she had come up against a “well-oiled, well funded political #propaganda machine” in recent months, adding the only reason #Albanese found her “difficult” was because she had been “outspoken about Australia’s #toxicalliance with the US and Israel”.

“Anthony Albanese has let us all down by capitulating to foreign powers who crave hegemony, profit from endless chaos, and whose interests conflict with our own,” she said.

“This was recently reinforced by how quickly the government moved to show support for the Iran war initiated by the US and Israel without congressional approval and in direct #violation of #internationallaw.

“I don’t think Albanese is a bumbling misogynist. I think he’s a savvy political operator keen to appease #Washington and #TelAviv. It’s a badge of honour to weigh on his conscience.”

Tame contrasted Albanese’s historical advocacy for #Palestine and critique of Australia’s involvement in the #Iraqwar with his current position on #Iran, alleging as a “relatively defenceless Pacific middle power, Australia cannot afford to cut its military ties with the US and Israel”.

“We’re in a geopolitical chokehold,” she said.

“To Albanese, I am difficult because I am both aware of this reality and unafraid to scream it at the top of my lungs, much to his obvious chagrin.

The federal government has endorsed the war by stating that “#Australia supports action to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent Iran from continuing to threaten international peace and security”.

Tame has faced major backlash from some conservative politicians and media outlets since her appearance at a pro-Palestine rally outside Sydney’s Town Hall last month, in which she led chants of the controversial phrase “globalise the intifada”.

“That day, the press and our so-called leaders needed a soundbite,” Tame said. “They needed a #scapegoat to distract from the broadcast footage of unprovoked police brutality that erupted that very evening. I was the obvious, easy target.

“In the weeks following, countless headlines, opinion pieces, talk-show segments and radio interviews have been churned out, framing me as an antisemite and terrorist sympathiser who promotes violence. Never mind that I have spent half my life trying to protect children.”

Tame said there was a “disconnect” between the “values of everyday voters and desires of influential #powerbrokers”, which was placing the Australian government and some media outlets out of step with it’s people.

“The tide of public consciousness has turned in Australia,” she said. “The game is up; we don’t buy the propaganda anymore. Just as we don’t buy Albanese’s defence for calling me difficult.”

In an Instagram post earlier this month, Tame said she had lost three speaking engagements on the theme of child safety due to an “ongoing media campaign”.

Albanese was approached for comment. #auspol
