‘An abomination’: Morrison signals sanctions against China if it helps arm Russia
Scott Morrison has left the door open to introducing sanctions against China, Australia’s largest trading partner, if Chinese president Xi Jinping’s regime were to provide military equipment to Russia.
The prime minister said his government would move in lockstep with its allies and partners in response to what he called Beijing’s “chilling silence” on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He said any move by China to arm Russia would be “an abomination”.
North Korea suspected missile fails after launch, says South Korea
North Korea fired an “unknown projectile” on Wednesday that appeared to fail immediately after launch, South Korea’s military said after Japanese media reported a suspected missile launch.
The suspected missile was fired from an airfield outside the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, South Korea’s defence ministry said.
The airfield has been the site of several recent launches, including two that the US and South Korea said were tests of a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) system. North Korea said those tests were for developing components of a reconnaissance satellite

‘Turning point’: War in Ukraine tests shaky US-China relations
In recent days, several top officials in the United States have discouraged China from backing Russia in its war in Ukraine, amid reports that Moscow has requested military assistance from Beijing.
While Chinese officials have downplayed the reports, experts say the US’s public pressure campaign on China could define an already shaky relationship between the two nations for years to come.

Refugee aid workers decry ‘hypocrisy’ of European governments
Those who previously supported Middle Eastern refugees say dealing with the Ukraine crisis is far easier with state support.
There is an abundance of solidarity from civil society and states and as many observers have noted, the welcome is almost unrecognisable compared with similar moments over the past 10 years, when refugees from Middle Eastern, Asian and African countries fleeing conflict have sought shelter in Europe.

La OTAN admite su "responsabilidad" para que la guerra no salga de Ucrania
El secretario general de la OTAN, Jens Stoltenberg, reconoció este miércoles (15.03.2022) que la Alianza tiene una "responsabilidad" para asegurar que la guerra no se extiende más allá de Ucrania y admitió que el conflicto tendrá consecuencias "duraderas" para la seguridad de los aliados.
No obstante, destacó que la Alianza ha respondido "de forma unida y rápida" y apuntó que los miembros de la organización transatlántica han impuesto "severas sanciones" a Rusia, proporcionan "apoyo significativo a Ucrania, militar, financiero y humanitario" y refuerzan su defensa colectiva.
Invasión a Ucrania dispara los precios en América Latina y el Caribe
La economía global sufre la onda expansiva de la invasión rusa a Ucrania, que hace subir los precios de los alimentos y la energía en América Latina y el Caribe, lo cual aumenta la inflación, advirtió el martes (15.03.2022) el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) en un blog.
El aumento de los precios del petróleo perjudica a los importadores de América Central y el Caribe, mientras que los exportadores de crudo, cobre, mineral de hierro, maíz, trigo y metales pueden cobrar más y mitigar así el impacto del conflicto en el crecimiento, estiman los economistas del FMI
Kiev reclama en las negociaciones un modelo de neutralidad propio
Ucrania reclama en las negociaciones que lleva a cabo con Rusia que se establezca un modelo de neutralidad propio para su país y no uno basado en el de otros países como Suecia o Austria, que tienen ejército propio pero no pertenecen a la OTAN.
"El modelo de neutralidad de Ucrania solo puede ser ucraniano", dijo este miércoles (16.03.2022) de forma tajante Mykhailo Podoliak, al asesor del presidente de Ucrania, Volodimir Zelenski, y miembro de la delegación ucraniana en las negociaciones con Moscú, según la agencia Interfax-Ukraine.
Podoliak se refirió con estas declaraciones a las realizadas anteriormente por el jefe de la delegación rusa, Vladimir Medinsky, que habló de la posibilidad de que Ucrania se convierta en un estado neutral y desmilitarizado, al estilo de Austria o Suecia.

Silvia Cruz: “El fentanilo se está vendiendo en todas partes. México ya es productor y consumidor”
El fentanilo se ha vuelto un problema difícil de ignorar. El potente opioide, causante de la última ola de muertes por sobredosis en Estados Unidos, se ha instalado como una preocupación en el resto de las agendas antinarcóticas de América. Pese a la poca información oficial sobre el tema, la adulteración de drogas con diferentes tipos de fentanilos se ha ido colando en las noticias. El caso más reciente es el de Argentina, donde 24 personas murieron por consumir cocaína mezclada con carfentanilo, un opioide sintético que se utiliza para sedar elefantes. “El fentanilo se está vendiendo en todas partes. México ya es productor y consumidor”, asegura Silvia Cruz Martín del Campo (Ciudad de México, 1961), doctora en Farmacobiología e investigadora del Centro de Investigación y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politécnico de México. “La adulteración de las drogas tradicionales con fentanilos es una práctica que llegó para quedarse”, agrega.

¿Está pateando Rusia los diálogos nucleares con Irán en Viena?
“Observamos muchas especulaciones con respecto a las ‘demandas de última hora de Rusia en la etapa final de los diálogos de Viena’ que supuestamente bloquean el acuerdo sobre la restauración del JCPOA”, manifestó el martes el representante permanente de Rusia ante organizaciones internacionales radicadas en Viena, Mijaíl Uliánov, mediante un mensaje publicado en Twitter.
Por su parte, el viceministro ruso de Asuntos Exteriores, Serguéi Riabkov, tachó, en declaraciones formuladas la misma jornada, de “infundadas y poco confiables” los referidos infundios.

Nexos ruso-europeos casi cero: Rusia sale del Consejo de Europa
Mediante una carta firmada por el ministro de Exteriores ruso, Serguéi Lavorv, la Federación Rusa oficializó su decisión anteriormente anunciada de salirse del Consejo de Europa (CdE), debido a la “hostilidad” mostrada por la Unión Europea (UE) y la Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte (OTAN).
De acuerdo con la nota, los países de la UE y la OTAN han abusado mayoritariamente del Consejo de Europa para transformar constantemente esta organización en una “herramienta política contra Rusia”.

Senadores de EEUU temen una guerra directa con Rusia
El diario estadounidense The Hill reveló el lunes que tanto los senadores demócratas como los republicanos del Congreso de EE.UU. están profundamente preocupados por el creciente conflicto de Ucrania, disparado por la operación militar rusa, por temor a que eventualmente pueda llevar a Washington a un conflicto directo con Rusia.
Chris Murphy, presidente del Subcomité de Seguridad Nacional de Asignaciones del Senado, y aseveró que EE.UU. se enfrenta a un “momento más peligroso desde la crisis de los misiles en Cuba”. Subrayó que aunque la decisión de apoyar a Kiev es correcta, Washington debe entender el momento sin precedentes que está viviendo en el que financia abiertamente la guerra contra una potencia nuclear.

Some of the biggest countries like China, India, Brazil and Mexico are not part of America’s economic warfare against Russia, but that does not undermine the efforts of the Biden administration against Moscow, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Monday, March 14.
