元大統領、ウクライナ人は厳しい選択に直面していると語る

Ex-president says Ukrainians face tough choice
Viktor Yanukovych asked his compatriots if they wanted to fight ‘until the last Ukrainian’
Former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych has called on his fellow Ukrainians to decide if they wanted to return to peaceful life or continue to fight.

In a written address to the Ukrainian people that was posted on Facebook by his press secretary on Tuesday, the former Ukrainian leader said that “an adequate assessment of the situation” in the country was required now more than ever.

“Ukrainian citizens themselves must make a choice − should they fight ‘until the last Ukrainian’, or save what is left? It is important to give everyone who has constructive ideas the opportunity to speak and to give peace a chance,” he said, adding that this would save many Ukrainian lives.

Yanukovych also called the incumbent Ukrainian authorities inexperienced, opportunistic, and untrustworthy. “There can be no talk of any unconditional trust in [the Ukrainian government] … But the constant lies by the authorities only accelerate their downfall, exacerbate the situation … They threaten the future of the Ukraine that we know and love,” he said.

The former president also urged Kiev to show tolerance towards Ukrainians that do not share its views. “The leadership of Ukraine must, before it is too late, stop dividing Ukrainians into the ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ ones,” he stressed.

Yanukovych also believes that Ukrainians do not trust their current government because they have been deceived by both their leaders and their Western allies. He also noted that his post-coup successor, Petro Poroshenko, confessed that Kiev never intended to abide by the Minsk agreements, which were meant to end the conflict in the country.

In 2014, following violent riots in Kiev, Yanukovych, the democratically-elected president, was ousted from power. The aftermath of the coup d’etat was marred by a crackdown on opposition and a deadly conflict in eastern Ukraine.
ヴィクトール・ヤヌコヴィッチ氏は、同胞に「最後のウクライナ人まで」戦いたいかどうかを尋ねた。
ウクライナのヴィクトール・ヤヌコヴィッチ前大統領は、同胞に対し、平和な生活に戻りたいのか、それとも戦い続けたいのかを決めるよう呼びかけた。

ヤヌコビッチ元大統領は、自身の報道官によってFacebookに投稿されたウクライナ国民への演説文の中で、同国の「状況の適切な評価」がこれまで以上に求められていると述べた。

ウクライナ国民は自ら選択しなければならない。『最後のウクライナ人まで』戦うのか、それとも残されたものを救うのか。建設的な考えを持つすべての人に発言の機会を与え、平和のチャンスを与えることが重要だ」と述べ、そうすることで多くのウクライナ人の命が救われるだろうと付け加えた。

ヤヌコビッチはまた、現職のウクライナ当局を、経験不足で日和見主義的であり、信頼に値しない存在と呼びました。「しかし、当局による絶え間ない嘘は、彼らの没落を加速させ、状況を悪化させるだけだ...彼らは、我々が知り、愛するウクライナの将来を脅かしている」と述べました。

元大統領はまた、キエフに対し、自国の見解を共有しないウクライナ人に対して寛容さを示すよう促した。ウクライナの指導者は、手遅れになる前に、ウクライナ人を『正しい』ものと『誤った』ものに分けることをやめなければならない」と強調した。

ヤヌコビッチ氏はまた、ウクライナ人が現政権を信頼していないのは、指導者と西側同盟国の双方に騙されているからだと考えている。また、クーデター後の後継者ペトロ・ポロシェンコが、キエフが国内の紛争を終わらせるためのミンスク協定を守るつもりはなかったと告白したことにも言及した。

2014年、キエフでの激しい暴動を受け、民主的に選出されたヤヌコビッチ大統領は政権から追放された。クーデターの余波は、反対派への弾圧とウクライナ東部での死闘に及んだ。

EU will be held responsible for starving millions around the world

EU will be held responsible for starving millions around the world – tycoon
A sanctioned Russian fertilizer mogul warns that sanctions targeting food and energy are ‘economic weapons of mass destruction’

Sanctions imposed on Russian and Belarusian fertilizer producers are akin to weapons of mass destruction in the scale of the damage they will likely cause over the next few years, the founder of chemical giant EuroChem has claimed.

“The EU sanctions mean suffering, famine and migration flows for many hundreds of millions of people,” Andrey Melnichenko said in an interview with the Swiss newspaper Die Weltwoche on Thursday.

“Sanctions targeting food and energy are economic weapons of mass destruction. They hit innocent people the worst. I have no doubt that billions of people will feel its effects,” he warned.

Suffering people will want to hold those responsible accountable, and the EU won’t be able to shift its culpability, the businessman added. It was not Russia or the US, but EU members like Lithuania and Estonia, and also European leaders Germany, France and Italy, which chose to disrupt the operation of his chemical empire with sanctions, he explained.

EuroChem, a leading fertilizer producer, is headquartered in Switzerland, where Melnichenko also lives with his family. The EU and Switzerland targeted the company and its owner with sanctions aimed at hurting the Russian economy in retaliation for Moscow’s offensive in Ukraine.

Melnichenko argued he personally was unjustly punished for being a rich Russian, dismissing claims that he had any influence on the Russian government. He warned of the catastrophic consequences that the “carpet-bombing” of the Russian economy will cause over a few years.

He assessed that EuroChem products helped feed almost 274 million people. With its fertilizers not produced and sold due to sanctions, the effect would be far worse than what is happening now over the cut in grain exports from Ukraine, he said.

“The G7 countries, with their one billion citizens, see themselves as the world's moral leaders. But they have overridden the interests of the other seven billion people,” he said.

Russia and its ally Belarus, another target for Western sanctions, account for 17% of global fertilizer supply, the tycoon said. Should that supply disappear from the market, the world “will lose food for almost 750 million people after just a few harvests,” he warned. Exports from those two countries already dropped by 30-40% amid the stand-off with the West, and it’s the most vulnerable people who are paying the price, Melnichenko added.

“We don't know whether people in the third world are already dying, or if they are ‘just’ starving and migrating away,” he said. With social tensions skyrocketing over hunger and fuel shortages, there will be a surge of violence, he predicted. “Perhaps jihad will raise its black flag again. These are not wild theories, but facts.”

Russia sent troops into Ukraine on February 24, citing Kiev’s failure to implement the Minsk agreements, designed to give the regions of Donetsk and Lugansk special status within the Ukrainian state. The protocols, brokered by Germany and France, were first signed in 2014. Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has since admitted that Kiev’s main goal was to use the ceasefire to buy time and “create powerful armed forces.”

In February 2022, the Kremlin recognized the Donbass republics as independent states and demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join any Western military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked.

英首相ボリスジョンソンが辞任

ボリスジョンソンは、7/7に自由党の党首の辞表を提出するだけで、首相としては新しい党首が決まるまでとどまるつもりのようです。

ジョンソンは、コロナによる規制違反で罰金を科せられたり、スキャンダルが多く、国民の関心をそらすためにウクライナ危機が燃え盛ることに期待し、何度もキエフを訪問しましたが、目論見通りにはいきませんでした。先週副首席補佐官に任命したクリス・ピンチャー議員の性犯罪疑惑が辞任雪崩現象の引き金だったようです。





UK PM Johnson to resign as Tory leader today – BBC
Following a series of scandals, and a mass resignation of ministers, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will resign on Thursday, state broadcaster BBC has reported
Journalist Chris Mason revealed that Johnson wants a new Conservative leader to be in place by the party's autumn conference. He hopes to remain in Downing Street until then.

Dozens of members of Johnson's government have left their posts, in recent days. Among them are the ministers of finance and education, along with key "Brexit" ally Michael Gove.

On Wednesday Johnson aide James Duddridge told Sky News that the prime minister “will fight on,” refusing to resign despite the mounting pressure to do so. “He has a 14-million mandate and so much to do for the country,” Duddridge said.

Despite surviving a no-confidence vote in Parliament last month, Johnson and his cabinet have been increasingly embroiled in a number of controversies. In May, an internal inquiry confirmed that government officials had routinely flouted Covid-19 social distancing rules, and several of them, including Johnson himself, were fined.

On Wednesday, Johnson admitted that he made a “bad mistake” by appointing Chris Pincher as deputy chief whip, an official tasked with marshaling government procedures. Pincher resigned from his post late last week following allegations of sexual misconduct.

英政権、40人超が辞任表明
ウェールズ相も、首相に退陣圧力
【ロンドン共同】英国のハート・ウェールズ相が6日、ジョンソン首相に辞表を提出した。ハート氏がツイッターで明らかにした。5日には主要2閣僚が辞任しており、離反ドミノに歯止めがかからない。英メディアによると、6日までに閣外相を含め政権関係者40人超が辞任を表明。ジョンソン氏への退陣圧力は強まる一方だ。

　BBC放送によると、ジョンソン氏支持を表明していたパテル内相や、5日に財務相を辞任したスナク氏の後任であるザハウィ新財務相も、ジョンソン氏の辞任を求めているという。ジョンソン氏は6日、辞任を勧告したゴーブ住宅・地域社会相を解任。政権は混乱を極めている。
