Leaked Documents Suggest Ukrainian Air Defense Is in Peril if Not Reinforced
WASHINGTON — For more than a year, Ukrainian air defenses, reinforced by Western weaponry, have kept Russian planes at bay. But without a huge influx of munitions, Ukraine’s entire air defense network, weakened by repeated barrages from Russian drones and missiles, could fracture, according to U.S. officials and newly leaked Pentagon documents, potentially allowing President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia to unleash his lethal fighter jets in ways that could change the course of the war.

Europe Has Pledged a Million Shells for Ukraine in a Year. Can It Deliver?
The giant robot arms and high-tech heaters at one of Europe’s largest ammunition plants have been whirring around the clock since the start of the war in Ukraine to produce more desperately needed 155-millimeter artillery shells. If all goes as planned, the factory’s parent company, Nammo, will be turning out as many as 200,000 of the shells a year by 2028 — up to 20 times its prewar production.

Beijing explains goal of drills off Taiwan
The Chinese military exercises near Taiwan launched last week should not be perceived as "retaliation" for the visit of the island's leader, Tsai Ing-wen, to the United States, explained the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wang Wenbin. Taiwanese separatism goes against the "one China policy" that is widely supported by the international community, Wang noted. The cause of Taiwanese independence is incompatible with peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, so it must be firmly opposed, he emphasized.

.According to a Reuters report, the Pentagon suspects that a US citizen may be responsible for the leak of classified information that includes data on the strategy and military resources of Ukraine, as well as allegations of illegal surveillance by the United States against Israel and the Israeli spy agency Mossad's organization of demonstrations against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The documents contain explosive information and it is believed that the leak was made by an internal source rather than a computer hack.

Her expression of support came after she made the solo visit last week while on a trip with her British, German and Norwegian counterparts to the Peruvian Amazon city of Pucallpa.

Estados Unidos envía a un destructor a aguas disputadas por China
Estados Unidos ha enviado un destructor de la clase Arleigh Burke a aguas disputadas por China en el Mar del Sur de China. Este es el primer despliegue de un buque de guerra estadounidense en la región desde que el presidente Joe Biden asumió el cargo en enero de 2021.
Las aguas en cuestión son objeto de disputa territorial entre China y varios países vecinos, incluyendo Vietnam, Filipinas, Malasia y Brunei. China ha reclamado gran parte de estas aguas y ha construido islas artificiales con instalaciones militares en ellas, lo que ha aumentado la tensión en la región.

La filtración de documentos secretos del Pentágono en Internet vuelve a enfrentar a Estados Unidos e Israel
Mientras el Pentágono se afana en aplicar la estrategia de contención de daños, el Departamento de Justicia de EE UU ha abierto una investigación sobre la filtración de documentos militares y de inteligencia, en buena parte relacionados con la guerra de Ucrania, en Internet. Las derivadas de la filtración se multiplican, enfrentando aún más si cabe a Ucrania con Rusia, y viceversa, además de exponer vulnerabilidades y debates en el seno de países aliados de EE UU. Uno de los más estrechos, Israel, se ha visto también aludido por la revelación del supuesto papel del Mosad, el servicio de espionaje exterior, como motor de las protestas contra la reforma judicial del Gobierno de Benjamín Netanyahu. Las relaciones de EE UU e Israel atraviesan desde hace semanas uno de sus momentos más tensos.

La seguridad se transforma en el flanco principal del gobierno de Boric
La crisis de seguridad en Chile ha golpeado tan fuerte al gobierno de Gabriel Boric, que incluso el nuevo proceso constituyente -donde los chilenos deberán elegir este 7 de mayo a los 50 miembros del consejo constitucional- ha pasado a segundo plano: según la Encuesta Criteria apenas el 31% de la población está interesado en la posible Nueva Constitución que reemplazaría a la de 1980, tras el contundente rechazo del primer texto constitucional en septiembre del año pasado.

"En Colombia tenemos relaciones de producción premodernas"
El presidente de Colombia, Gustavo Petro, hizo declaraciones contundentes este sábado analizando el presente de su gobierno, que carece de mayoría en el Congreso, obligándolo a construir una coalición mayoritaria en donde su fuerza política necesita de otras que no son tan progresistas y han estado ligadas al pasado institucional: "Considero que el radicalismo en sí mismo puede llevar a errores. En la tensión existente entre reforma y revolución, una reforma mantiene algunas cosas del pasado y provoca una ruptura hacia el futuro. Esa ruptura tiene que ver, en todas las reformas que he presentado, con la superación del modelo neoliberal. No se trata de abolir el mercado sino de quitar la preponderancia del mercado y poner la preponderancia en el derecho del ciudadano y la ciudadana”.
