Britain and US fear Russia could be setting stage to use chemical weapons
Britain and the US fear Russia could be setting the stage to use a chemical weapon in Ukraine after Kremlin officials alleged without firm evidence that the US had been supporting a bioweapons programme in the country.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Wednesday that Russia had been making “false claims about alleged US biological weapons labs and chemical weapons development in Ukraine”, and added that the allegations had been echoed in Beijing.
Is super-polluting Pentagon’s climate plan just ‘military-grade greenwash’?
The US military, an institution whose carbon footprint exceeds that of nearly 140 countries, says it wants to go green.
On 8 February, the US army released its climate strategy.
Among other tactics, the army aims for net-zero emissions by 2050, to electrify its combat and non-tactical vehicles, to power its bases with “carbon-free” electricity and to develop clean global supply chains

Putin will lead Russia to strategic defeat in Ukraine, says Blinken
The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has said Vladimir Putin will fail in his effort to subjugate Ukraine, and will instead lead Russia into a “strategic defeat” that is already unfolding.
“I’m absolutely convinced that Putin will fail, and Russia will suffer a strategic defeat no matter what short-term tactical gains it may make in Ukraine,” the secretary of state said.
Dozens of worshippers killed in Pakistan suicide bomb attack
A suicide bomber has struck inside a Shia Muslim mosque in Pakistan’s north-western city of Peshawar during Friday prayers, killing at least 56 worshippers and wounding 194 people.
The Islamic State group claimed the attack and threatened more violence against Pakistan’s Shia minority.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says its executive board has approved $1.4bn in emergency funding to support Ukraine in the wake of Russia’s invasion, now in its third week.

Australia to expand defence personnel by a third by 2040
Australia will expand its active defence personnel by a third by 2040, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced, describing the move as part of efforts to keep the country safe “in an increasingly uncertain global environment”.
The force would grow by 18,500 personnel to 80,000 over the 18-year period, at a cost of some 38 billion Australian dollars ($27bn), the prime minister said Thursday during a visit to an army barracks in Brisbane.

La reunión entre Serguéi Lávrov y Dmytro Kuleba, en Antalya concluyó sin resultados pero abriría la vía hacia un posible encuentro de los presidentes de Ucrania y Rusia, afirmó el anfitrión del encuentro.

Los ministros de Exteriores de Ucrania y Rusia se reúnen en Turquía en medio del brutal asedio a Mariupol
Los ministros de Exteriores ruso, Serguéi Lavrov, y ucranio, Dmitro Kuleba, se reúnen por primera vez este jueves en Turquía para tratar de buscar una salida al conflicto desatado por la invasión rusa de Ucrania. Las tres rondas de negociaciones que ha habido hasta ahora en Bielorrusia se han saldado con pocos resultados, entre ellos el establecimiento de varios corredores humanitarios que se pusieron en marcha el martes entre denuncias de bombardeos e incumplimientos del alto el fuego.
El acercamiento de Estados Unidos al chavismo descoloca a la oposición
Los opositores venezolanos, que habían tenido hasta ahora en la Casa Blanca su mejor aliado, ni siquiera han comentado de manera directa el encuentro de funcionarios de Biden con Maduro.
Los miembros más conocidos de la oposición venezolana han asistido atónitos al acercamiento entre altos funcionarios de Estados Unidos y el líder bolivariano Nicolás Maduro. Tanto que se han quedado sin palabras.
Un ejército de miles de piratas informáticos amenaza a Rusia con ataques incesantes
“Estamos creando un ejército digital”, escribía en Twitter el ministro encargado de asuntos digitales de Ucrania, Mykhailo Fedorov, el 26 de febrero. Hacía dos días de la invasión rusa, y el dirigente prometía una lista de tareas para “talentos digitales” de todo el mundo. Fedorov daba un enlace en Telegram de una cuenta que esta semana tenía ya más de 300.000 miembros. Unirse no implica ningún tipo de acción posterior, pero los encargados de su gestión no dejan de sugerir ataques concretos: bloquear páginas de ferrocarriles rusos, analizar correos electrónicos obtenidos mediante pirateo de miembros del Parlamento ruso o de webs de gobiernos regionales rusos. “Por favor, echadnos una mano. Haremos un chat de grupo para compartir pensamientos creativos y abordar la guerra de la información. Todos podéis uniros”, dice un mensaje en Telegram.

Defensa rusa: 90% de aeródromos de Ucrania quedó fuera de servicio
“En el curso de la operación han sido destruidos en total 2786 instalaciones de la infraestructura militar de Ucrania. (...) Para el día de hoy han sido inutilizados el 90 % de los aeródromos militares en los que se basaba el grueso de la aviación militar”, ha detallado el portavoz de la referida Cartera rusa, Igor Konashenkov.
Además, ha precisado que antes de la operación militar especial, ese país disponía de “hasta 250 aviones y helicópteros de guerra”, pero que el Ejército ruso ha destruido ya 89 aviones y 57 helicópteros, teniendo en cuenta que una parte de los aviones ucranianos voló a Rumanía y no participa en el combate.

Morales: OTAN es una amenaza para mundo; Debe ser disuelta
“La OTAN es un peligro para la paz mundial, para la seguridad, entonces estamos en la tarea de cómo llegar a acuerdos con movimientos sociales, no solo en América Latina, sino que en todos los continentes, para eliminarla. Si no se hace nada contra la OTAN, se va a convertir en una amenaza permanente para la humanidad”, ha advertido este miércoles el expresidente boliviano Evo Morales (2006-2019) en una entrevista dedicada a la agencia de noticias rusa Sputnik.
Haciendo alusión al conflicto en Ucrania, el exmandatario ha considerado que el origen del problema entre Rusia y Ucrania es relacionado con las políticas “expansionistas” e “intervencionistas” de la Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte (OTAN) liderada por EE.UU.

Israel está alarmado por el radio de alcance de drones de Hezbolá
El portal israelí de noticias Walla ha recordado este miércoles que desde el final de la segunda guerra de Líbano en 2006, Israel se ha negado a lanzar ataques aéreos contra el Movimiento de Resistencia Islámica de El Líbano (Hezbolá).
Esto significa, conforme a fuentes de seguridad citadas por el medio, que Israel y Hezbolá siguen trabajando según la fórmula de la disuasión y las reglas de enfrentamiento que se establecieron tras la agresión israelí a El Líbano en 2006.

Taiwan Studies Ukraine War for Own Battle Strategy With China
Taiwan‘s military strategists have been studying Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the country’s resistance, for the island’s own battle strategy in the event its giant neighbour China ever makes good on its threat to take them by force.
While Taiwan‘s government has not reported any unusual activity by the military in China, which views the island as its own territory, Taipei has raised its alert level.

From Grain and Corn to Edible Oil, India Will Feel the Food Ripples of Ukraine's Crisis
The emerging food crisis is only one of the dimensions of Russia’s war on Ukraine. While the short-term implications are disastrous for economies across the globe, the ensuing arms race will squeeze even the budgets of developed nations. The poor will bear the brunt of lower allocations for development and welfare. India may be no exception.
Globally, the food price index has already reached the highest it has ever been in the last 32 years – FAO’s food price index in February 2022 was 140.7, the highest since January 1990.

Ukraine Does Not Know What’s Happening at Occupied Nuclear Plants, Says Energy Minister
The Ukrainian authorities do not know what the radiation levels are at Chernobyl nuclear power plant, as they have not heard about what is happening there since it was seized by Russian troops, energy minister Herman Halushchenko said on Wednesday, March 9.
The Ukraine Crisis Has Only Laid Bare India's Economic Sore Spots
The rupee sank to a lifetime low, equity markets are seeing panic selling, there’s a crush amongst foreign institutional investors to pull out money and all growth bets are now off. But wait, there’s more.
From ‘transient’ ‘temporary’ and ‘not a cause of worry’, it seems like India’s retail inflation is set to be exactly that. Crude is in a zone of its own. Sure it’s an overheated and panic-stricken market. But it is now in a price range that oil importing countries are going to find extremely difficult to absorb.

Russia-Ukraine: With Both Oil and Rupee on Fire, What Are Modi Govt's Policy Options?
One criticism of the Narendra Modi government is that it hardly has time to govern between state elections. Half a dozen Cabinet members were camping in Varanasi over the past few days even as global crude crossed $120 per barrel and the rupee weakened to Rs 77 to a dollar against the backdrop of the Ukraine war.
The rupee might have weakened even more if RBI had not sold dollars from its reserves to stem a steeper fall. Until a few days ago, the central bank had already sold a couple of billion dollars to support the rupee. Analysts forecast the rupee might touch Rs 80 to a dollar in the near term.
