Az Iszlám Állam nevű nemzetközi terrorhálózat szerdán megerősítette, hogy vezetője, Abu al-Hasszán al-Hasemi al-Kurasi meghalt.
A dzsihadista szervezet szóvivője a Telegramon bejelentette azt is, hogy már választottak maguknak új vezetőt Abu al-Huszein al-Huszeini al-Kurasi személyében. A tájékoztatás szerint Abu al-Hasszán al-Hasemi al-Kurasi harcban eset el, de sem részleteket, sem halálának időpontját nem közölték.
Abu al-Haszán al-Hasemi al-Kurasi a terrorszervezet harmadik „kalifája” volt. 2022 márciusában került a dzsihadisták élére. Elődeit, Abu Ibrahim al-Hasimi al-Kurasit, illetve a hírhedt Abu Bakr al-Bagdadit az amerikai különleges erők ölték meg.
John Kirby, a Fehér Ház nemzetbiztonsági szóvivője üdvözölte a terroristák vezérének halálát. A Kurasi név Mohamed próféta törzsére utal, amelyre az önjelölt kalifák a saját legitimitásukat igazolandó hivatkoznak.
Oroszország a világ legnagyobb terrorszervezete lett, az agresszor állam nemcsak Ukrajnára, hanem számos más országra is veszélyt jelent – állapította meg csütörtökön Dmitro Kuleba külügyminiszter az rbc.ua hírportálnak írt cikkében.
Mint írásában az ukrán diplomácia vezetője rámutatott, kevesebb mint hat hónap alatt az oroszok a Római Statútumban felsorolt nemzetközi bűncselekmények teljes körét elkövették. „Népirtás, emberiesség elleni bűncselekmények, háborús bűnök és agressziós bűncselekmények. De az agressziónak ebben a szakaszában az aljas terrorcselekményekben mutatkozott meg igazán Oroszország barbár arca” – mutatott rá.
A külügyminiszter kifejtette, hogy a terrorizmust úgy értelmezik, mint ártatlan emberek megölését a társadalom vagy a közösség többi részének megfélemlítése érdekében, így Oroszország tettei 100%-ban megfelelnek ennek a definíciónak. „Állandó rakétatámadások civilek ellen, Harkiv, Mikolajiv és más városok lakónegyedeinek bombázása és barbár ágyúzása, óvodák, iskolák, kórházak, infrastruktúra célzott lövetése, ukránok elleni terror az ideiglenesen megszállt területeken” – emlékeztetett.
Cikkében a külügyi tárcavezető felidézte Volodimir Zelenszkij államfő fontos megállapításait is. „Ahogy Zelenszkij elnök mondta, a modern Oroszország a világ legnagyobb terrorszervezete lett. A terrorista Putyin-rezsim nemcsak Ukrajnára, hanem egész Európára és a világra is veszélyt jelent. Ezért ennek felismerése és a terrordaganat azonnali elszigetelése megmenti a nemzetközi békét és biztonságot. Valóban, az ENSZ Biztonsági Tanácsa állandó tagjának a terrorizmus állami szponzoraként történő elismerése példátlan lépés. De példátlan Oroszország fenyegetése a világgal szemben is” – összegezte Dmitro Kuleba.
I call on all EU and G7 states to stop issuing visas to Russians. President @ZelenskyyUa is absolutely right to insist on this. Russians overwhelmingly support the war on Ukraine. They must be deprived of the right to cross international borders until they learn to respect them.
This is Russia’s, not just Putin’s war. Not Putin, but actual Russian soldiers come from Russia to kill, torture and destroy. Russians overwhelmingly support the war, cheer missile strikes on Ukrainian cities and murder of Ukrainians. Let Russian tourists enjoy Russia then.
In our call, IAEA Director General @rafaelmgrossi informed me that, responding to Ukraine’s invitation, he is ready to lead an IAEA delegation to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. I emphasized the mission’s urgency to address nuclear security threats caused by Russia’s hostilities.
Putin’s and Lavrov’s irresponsible statements on the possible use of nuclear weapons are absolutely unacceptable. Ukraine won’t give in. We call on all nuclear powers to speak out now and make it clear to Russia that such rhetorics put the world at risk and will not be tolerated.
I am grateful to @JosepBorrellF and EU foreign ministers for doing exactly what I asked them for yesterday: ramping up military aid for Ukraine and sanctions pressure on Russia. The EU keeps proving its determination. We look forward to a swift implementation of both decisions. pic.twitter.com/h3qNWKQVnM
The suggested elements of the upcoming EU sanctions package on Russia do not correspond to the scale of Putin’s escalation and the threat he poses to Europe and the whole world. We encourage the EU to hit Putin harder in order to stop him. This is a crucial moment.
I welcome the EU’s prompt action following my appeal on Monday to impose sanctions on Iran for helping Russia kill Ukrainians and damage our energy infrastructure. In three days, the EU agreed on a set of restrictions which will take effect as soon as today.
FM: “On November 26th #Ukraine will honor the memory of millions of innocent victims of the #Holodomor genocide, 1932-1933 Soviet artificial famine in Ukraine. We call on parliaments of all nations to support Ukraine by recognizing the Holodomor as genocide of the #Ukrainians”. pic.twitter.com/Gd7MHPAjda
Today, I received a call from Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, during which I demanded Iran to immediately cease the flow of weapons to Russia used to kill civilians and destroy critical infrastructure in Ukraine.
Governments which still have not banned RT must watch this excerpt. This is what you side with if you allow RT to operate in your countries. Aggressive genocide incitement (we will put this person on trial for it), which has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Ban RT worldwide! https://t.co/xJC371rqyg
I value that @Antonio_Tajani held his first call as Italy’s new Foreign Minister with me. A clear sign of the new government’s priorities. I wished him all the success in his endeavors and emphasized that Ukraine’s highest priority now is to swiftly receive air defense systems.
After committing the crime of aggression against Ukraine, numerous war crimes, undermining global food and energy security, should Russia still occupy the seat of a permanent member of the UN Security Council? Remember that Russia is there on dubious legal grounds. @United24mediapic.twitter.com/x7eQ3KmDSy
Building on their dialogue with President @ZelenskyyUA, I met with Prime Minister of Australia @AlboMP. I thanked him for standing firmly with Ukraine as we defend ourselves from Russian aggression. We focused on further defense assistance and aid to tackle energy challenges. pic.twitter.com/kVNvtPkm4N
I had a call with @JosepBorrellF discussing in detail the preparations for the upcoming Ukraine-EU summit on February 3. We have outlined our expectations and focused on a format that will ensure its success. We also discussed military aid, sanctions, and Iran-Russia cooperation.
??Ukrainian peace summit to be held on February 24 at the #UN headquarters in #NewYork
The summit will discuss #Ukraine's security, food and energy security, as well as the de-occupation of Ukrainian territories. pic.twitter.com/iyfJ5MaQnw
This will be the first meeting between Ukraine, the European Union, and NATO in this trilateral format. I look forward to meeting @JensStoltenberg and @JosepBorrellF to strengthen our partnership and cooperation in defending Ukraine and Europe. https://t.co/QA0g0I0B3W
I took part in a G7 ministerial meeting at the invitation of Japanese FM Hayashi Yoshimasa. We focused on everything needed for Ukraine's victory in 2023. There will be rapid deliveries of weapons and new sanctions. Russia must realise we won’t tire of countering its aggression. pic.twitter.com/Z6sCs4yLPY
Russian UNSC presidency is a slap in the face to the international community. I urge the current UNSC members to thwart any Russian attempts to abuse its presidency. I also remind that Russia is an outlaw on the UNSC: https://t.co/rZVC1pV0MY#BadRussianJoke#InsecurityCouncil
A horrific video of Russian troops decapitating a Ukrainian prisoner of war is circulating online. It’s absurd that Russia, which is worse than ISIS, is presiding over the UNSC. Russian terrorists must be kicked out of Ukraine and the UN and be held accountable for their crimes.
In our today’s call, @MelanieJoly and I discussed ways to expedite Canada’s security assistance for Ukraine and the upcoming NATO summit in Vilnius. I am grateful to Canada for standing with Ukraine.
Russia makes a mistake if it thinks it can “wait out” military aid for Ukraine. Ukraine will only get stronger, and Russian aggression will fail. We are not just bringing weapons to Ukraine. We are ramping up domestic production and co-production with partners in NATO and beyond. pic.twitter.com/mljxtPNKX6
Our talks at @MFA_Ukraine proved that Ukraine and the UK are determined to work together toward victory.
The UK remains steadfast in providing Ukraine with weapons, increasing their co-production, and ridding the Black Sea of Russian threats. pic.twitter.com/k3ZGNo3RcN
Russia's international isolation continues to grow.
After failing to be elected to the International Court of Justice, the IMO, UNESCO, and the OPCW executive boards in November, Russia suffered another diplomatic defeat at the Danube Commission, one of the world's oldest…
Another devastating Russian nighttime attack on Kharkiv, Odesa, and the Sumy region. In Odesa, a residential building was hit. As of now, two people are reported killed and eight injured, including a child.
