Respect," said Emomali Rakhmon, Tajikistan's president since 1994, complaining that Moscow's attitude had not improved since the Soviet era. The conflict prompted Japarov to skip an informal meeting of ex-Soviet leaders in Moscow on Putin's birthday, Oct. 7. Kazakh state television showed a selection of street interviews in which respondents said the war in Ukraine cast doubt on whether any post-Soviet unity still existed. Its report also highlighted what it called provocative behaviour by Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, widely regarded as Putin's proxy, who interrupted one of Tokayev's speeches.

Summary This content was produced in Russia where the law restricts coverage of Russian military operations in UkraineMOSCOW, Oct 16 (Reuters) - The defence ministry in Minsk on Sunday said just under 9,000 Russian troops would be stationed in Belarus as part of a "regional grouping" of forces to protect its borders. "The first troop trains with Russian servicemen who are part of the (regional grouping) began to arrive in Belarus," Valeriy Revenko, head of the defence ministry's international military cooperation department, wrote on Twitter. "The total number will be a little less than 9,000 people." Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said last week that his troops would deploy with Russian forces near the Ukrainian border, citing what he said were threats from Ukraine and the West.

ASTANA, Kazakhstan — Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has a warning for the West: Do not push Russian President Vladimir Putin into a corner. Russia has nuclear weapons for a reason and crossing Putin’s “red lines” in Ukraine would be a mistake, the strongman and close Kremlin ally said in an exclusive interview Friday. And you don’t need nuclear weapons. Russia will cope without them.”The Kremlin has stoked growing nuclear fears as its military retreats on the battlefield and disquiet grows at home. “If nuclear weapons are used even by one country, it will cause a chain reaction.
On Oct. 26, President Vladimir Putin appeared on Russian state television overseeing a practice run of Russia's strategic nuclear deterrence forces. The conflict has revived Cold War-era fears of nuclear war across the region. In August, a Ukrainian official said that 9,000 Ukrainian military personnel had been killed, though another source said the number could be far higher. (President Zelensky previously estimated that 30% of Ukraine's power stations have been damaged or destroyed, although the figure is now likely to be greater.) In a wide-ranging answer, Putin had offered, almost as an aside, that Russian victims of nuclear war "will go to heaven as martyrs" while Western citizens would perish without having "time to repent."
Oct 14 (Reuters) - Belarus has given its security forces broad powers under to prevent or respond to provocations from neighbouring countries, Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei told the Russian Izvestia newspaper in an interview published on Friday. "There was information that some neighbouring states were planning provocations on, pretty much, the seizure of certain sections of the territory of Belarus." The counter-terrorist operation regime gives security forces broad rights, including detentions to verify identities, barring movement, wiretapping and control of all communication and unimpeded entry of agents on any premises. "(That's) in order to identify and localise threats in a timely manner, and, if necessary, adequately respond to any military manifestations against Belarus."

That blast, which was used by the Kremlin as a justification for Monday’s onslaught, bruised the Russian psyche and handed Ukraine a significant strategic boost. And the airborne strikes distract from what has been a dismal stretch for Russia in the ground war. They were “an indication of the nature of the threat from Russia,” Giles said. “The reopening of a northern front would be another new challenge for Ukraine,” Giles said. Beyond weapons supplies, Ukraine will be watching to ensure that Western resolve stays firm if Russia tightens energy supplies even further.
Lukashenko has ordered troops to deploy with Russian forces near the Ukraine border, and his defence ministry says "combat readiness" drills are under way. On Tuesday, the interior ministry held exercises to eliminate "sabotage groups" near Yelsk, only 20 km (12 miles) from the border with Ukraine. "It's not exactly a combat-tested armed force," said Samir Puri, author of "Russia's Road to War with Ukraine". It's unclear who would provide such a force, as Moscow would veto any U.N. role and NATO or EU observers could be drawn into clashes with Russian forces. Not all the evidence suggests the Belarus military is on the verge on joining the fight.
Oct 11 (Reuters) - Belarus said on Tuesday that its forces had grouped with Russian troops on its borders as a defensive measure. "All the activities currently being carried out are aimed at responding adequately to actions near our borders," the defence ministry said. President Alexander Lukashenko said on Monday he had ordered troops to deploy with Russian forces near Ukraine in response to what he said was a clear threat to Belarus from Kyiv and its backers in the West.

Ukraine, which views the bridge as a military target sustaining Russia's war effort, celebrated the blast without claiming responsibility.

Belarus's Lukashenko warns Ukraine, deploys troops with Russia

The remarks from Lukashenko, who has held power in Belarus since 1994, indicate a potential further escalation of the war in Ukraine, possibly with a combined Russian-Belarus joint force in the north of Ukraine. "Their owners are pushing them to start a war against Belarus to drag us there." Lukashenko said that a warning was delivered to Belarus through unofficial channels that Ukraine planned "Crimean Bridge 2", though he did not give details. On Sunday, the head of Belarus's border guards accused Ukraine of provocations at the border. Russian forces used Belarus as a staging post for their Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine, sending troops and equipment into northern Ukraine from bases in Belarus.
The barrage of dozens of cruise missiles fired from air, land and sea was the biggest wave of air strikes to hit locations away from the front line, at least since the initial volleys on the war's first day, Feb. 24. The Russian leader said he had ordered "massive" long range strikes and he threatened more strikes in future if Ukraine hits Russian territory. Ukraine, which views the bridge as a military target sustaining Russia's war effort, celebrated the blast without officially claiming responsibility. 1/23 A smoke rises over the city after Russian missile strikes, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Lviv, Ukraine October 10, 2022. The European Union condemned Monday's "barbaric and cowardly attacks" on Ukraine, among a chorus of denunciations from Western countries.

Seems counter-intuitive, but the Fed (and much of Wall Street) is actually rooting for that number to go down. Here’s the thing: Before the pandemic and its whiplash-inducing economic rebound, the US economy averaged about 200,000 new jobs each month. In the last jobs report, wages were up 5.2% over the last 12 months. GRIM PROGNOSIS(CNN Business) Peloton announced yet another round of layoffs — its fourth round of cuts this year — as its new CEO attempts to shore up the company’s bottom line. And if it fails, McCarthy told The Wall Street Journal, Peloton likely isn’t viable as a stand-alone company.

His doctor had prescribed him antidepressants, but he was starting to realize that his mental health issues needed additional care. They said that doing so could alleviate the struggles of others, and that it's important for law firm attorneys to understand they aren't alone. He also co-founded the Lawyers Depression Project, a support network of some 900 legal professionals around the world, an endeavor he has found meaningful. "I didn't feel like I could keep surviving in an environment that played into the worst aspects of my own mental health," Alexander said.

Organizaţia Internaţională pentru Aviaţie Civilă a Naţiunilor Unite (ICAO) a convenit joi, 27 mai, să investigheze impunerea de către Belarus a aterizării la Minsk a unei aeronave de pasageri a companiei Ryanair, un incident care a provocat indignare la nivel internaţional. Președintele din Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, a declarat miercuri că a acționat „legal” în deturnarea unui zbor Ryanair și a criticat Vestul pentru „trecerea liniilor roșii”. Deturnarea avionului RyanAir a dus la decizia Uniunii Europene (UE) de a bloca legăturile cu spațiul aerian al Republicii Belarus. Ordinul de interceptare a avionului comercial ar fi fost dat chiar de președintele Aleksandr Lukașenko. Protasevici a fost inclus de către autoritățile din Belarus pe lista teroriștilor, dat în căutări interstatale.

Țările occidentale au acuzat Belarusul de deturnarea avionului Ryanair, care a fost redirecționat în urma unei presupuse amenițări cu bomba. Sofia Sapega, care are cetățenie rusă, mergea la Vilnius pentru a-și susține teza de masterat la Universitatea Europeană de Științe Umane, acolo unde studiază dreptul internațional. După arestarea celor doi, un videoclip cu Sofia Sapega a fost distribuit de către autoritățile din Belarus. Mama Sofiei Sapega, Anna Dudich, a declarat pentru BBC că aceasta nu a lucrat în Lituania pentru liderul opoziției bieloruse Svetlana Tikhanovskaya. Înainte de arestare, Sofia a reușit să-i transmită mamei sale pe WhatsApp doar un cuvânt: „Mami”.

Președintele din Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, a declarat miercuri că a acționat „legal” în deturnarea unui zbor Ryanair și a criticat Vestul pentru „trecerea liniilor roșii”. Rusia a respins indignarea occidentală, în ciuda arestării iubitei lui Protasevich și a cetățeanului rus Sofiya Sapega la același zbor și se așteaptă să se opună unei declarații colective cu privire la incident. Deturnarea avionului RyanAir a dus la decizia Uniunii Europene (UE) de a bloca legăturile cu spațiul aerian al Republicii Belarus. Aeronava, care efectua o cursă Atena – Vilnius, a fost interceptată în spațiul aerian belarus, sub pretextul că la bord ar fi o bombă. Protasevici a fost inclus de către autoritățile din Belarus pe lista teroriștilor, dat în căutări interstatale.

UE a decis luni seară să-și închidă spațiul aerian pentru aeronavele din Belarus, pentru a sancționa regimul lui Alexander Lukashenko acuzat că a redirecționat un avion de linie european pentru a aresta un disident, potrivit unui purtător de cuvânt al consiliului. Astfel, imaginea unui Belarus izolat a început să fie distribuită pe platforma socială de către comentatori de politică externă și internauți. Harta a fost distribuită pe twitter de președintele Consiliului European Charles Michel, cu mesajul ”Europa în acțiune”. Cele 27 de state membre, întrunite în cadrul summitului de la Bruxelles, au cerut, de asemenea, companiilor aeriene să evite survolarea Belarusului și au cerut „eliberarea imediată” a oponentului Roman Protassevich și a însoțitorului său, conform concluziilor summitului.

Coincidenţă sau nu, după reţinerea lui Roman Protasevici, jurnaliștilor din Belarus le-a fost interzis să organizeze sau să participe la evenimente în masă. De asemenea, autorităţile de la Minsk pot restricționa accesul la sursele de internet care au fost anterior blocate. Modificările legislative vor intra în vigoare după o lună de la publicarea lor în Monitorul Oficial.Vara trecută, în timpul protestelor antiguvernamentale din Belarus, a fost blocat accesul la zeci de site-uri, iar periodic erau probleme cu conexiunea la internet. Alexander Lukașenko a declarat că este vorba de atacuri cibernetice din străinătate, însă Bloomberg a aflat că autoritățile blochează intenționat accesul la Internet. Canalele de Telegram au fost unele dintre puţinele modalităţi de comunicare şi informare.

Liderii UE cer Belarusului să permită decolarea avionului deturnat la Minsk de preşedintele LukaşenkoLiderii UE cer Belarului să permită decolarea avionului deturnat la Minsk din ordinul lui Aleksandr Lukaşenko, pentru arestarea un jurnalist critic la adresa puterii. Avionul a fost însă rerutat către Minsk, unde, după aterizare, Protasevici a şi fost arestat. Conform agenţiei de presă de stat din Belarus, Lukaşenko a dat personal ordinul ca avionul să aterizeze la Minsk în urma acestei ameninţări. Nicio bombă nu a fost descoperită la bordul avionului, dar autorităţile l-au arestat pe jurnalistul Roman Protasevici.

Universitățile din rusia amenință studenții cu exmatricularea pentru participarea la mitinguri neautorizate organizate de susținătorii lui Alexei Navalny. Potrivit acesteia, postările din grupurile oficiale ale universității sunt cele care „aruncă o umbră asupra universității” și nu studenții care participă la acțiuni. Universitatea de Stat din BashkiriaUniversitatea de Stat din Bashkiria a anunțat sâmbătă, 23 ianuarie, o zi academică. Mai târziu, Orlova le-a trimis studenților o declarație că nici ea, nici facultatea nu au nimic de-a face cu acest mailing. Dmitry Navosha, fondatorul Fondului pentru solidaritate cu bielorușii concediați de la muncă pentru participarea la mitinguri, a numit intimidarea studenților ruși cu exmatricularea pentru participarea la mitinguri „o practică totalitară lukashistă importată de Rusia”.

Șeful Bisericii Catolice din Belarus, episcopul Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz, care criticase represiunea împotriva protestelor împotriva președintelui Lukașenko, a demisionat din cauza vârstei, a anunțat duminică Vaticanul, potrivit AFP, citat de hotnews.ro. Acesta a trebuit să petreacă mai mult de trei săptămâni în Polonia. După negocierile dintre guvernul Belarus și Vatican, episcopului Kondrusiewicz i s-a acordat în sfârșit permisiunea de a se întoarce la Minsk chiar înainte de Crăciun. Duminică, Vaticanul i-a anunțat demisia într-un mesaj scurt, explicând pur și simplu că decizia a fost „în conformitate cu regula care permite episcopilor să se retragă la 75 de ani”. Liderul opoziției, Svetlana Tikhanovskaïa, a subliniat pe Twitter, din Lituania, unde se află în exil, că „bielorușii au fost cu adevărat binecuvântați să se afle sub conducerea arhiepiscopului”, scrie sursa citată.
