RaiNews: G7, il piano di Tajani: "Nessuna distrazione sull’Ucraina, ma il Golfo è un’emergenza globale"

Dalla ministeriale di Parigi il titolare della Farnesina lancia l'allarme sull'escalation in Medio Oriente: "Effetti dal Caucaso all'Europa". L'Italia spinge per un vertice con i Paesi arabi e conferma il pugno duro contro Mosca e i suoi alleati

G7, Tajani’s plan: “No distractions on Ukraine, but the Gulf is a global emergency.”

From the Paris ministerial, the Foreign Minister launches the alarm about escalation in the Middle East: “Effects from the Caucasus to Europe.” Italy is pushing for a summit with Arab countries and confirms a hardline stance against Moscow and its allies.

A blog post for the Medieval Caucasus Network on our recent conference on studying non-elites in medieval Caucasia. It was a fascinating two days - hopefully this gives a flavour of some of those discussions:

From my days of travelling to the Russian #Caucasus, I’ve got quite a few friends there – one of them is a highlander and he’s fine, whilst the other used to work for RIA (Russian state news agency).

I messaged the first one on Telegram, but the message isn’t getting through and I don’t know if he’s up in the mountains or if the Roskomnadzor is already blocking it. So I ask the other one, who spends most of his time in the lowlands, whether Telegram works there without a VPN. And here I get this reply that sounded like read from an official government statement 😂

It depends – sometimes it’s needed, and sometimes it isn’t. On the other hand, the number of cybercrimes and scams on social media has plummeted since communication restrictions were introduced. Everything has its pros and cons.

I gather he’s probably still working at RIA 😂 Let me emphasise – it was the sort of question that calls for a yes or no answer.

If they cut off the internet for them altogether, he’ll probably send me a letter by post giving a detailed explanation of why life without the Internet has “certain disadvantages, but also advantages”.

Today, only such collectibles souvenirs from auctions serve as a reminder that in 2012, #Donetsk was one of the host cities for EURO 2012 and people could fly there from all over the world.

And it turned out that, all things considered, for the people of Donetsk, the world doesn’t end at Rostov, Moscow and industrial plants 100% controlled by the local mafia.

Back then, I was still driving from #Poland through the #Ukraine including #Donbas to the #Caucasus, and seeing the non-stop renovations of roads, hotels and stadiums that had been going on since 2011, I thought that even there, things were changing for the better.

And I suppose that was precisely the moment when #Putin realised that Ukraine and the Donbas might slip away from him towards economic independence, so he decided to restore everything to the default state of the classic ‘Russkiy Mir’ – that is, squalor, poverty and unemployment, in which the Soviet man is 100% dependent on the state. If not that, no sane person with stable job and pension would voluntarily sign a contract with Russian army to participate in “meat wave” attacks on another country - poverty was the primary requirement here.

Reading what Girking’s thugs are doing on the “border” of “Donetsk People’s Republic” I’ve never attempted crossing that route after 2013…

✧ dunnock ✧

The dunnock (Prunella modularis) is a small passerine bird in the accentor family, Prunellidae. It is native to much of temperate Europe and parts of southwest Asia, including the Caucasus, northern Iran and Lebanon, and is also widely distributed in New Zealand after being introduced there in the 19th century. The dunnock inhabits lowland environments...

"#Azerbaijan’s State Security Service has announced it has thwarted multiple planned #terrorist attacks and #sabotage operations allegedly directed by #Iran’s #IslamicRevolutionaryGuardCorps (#IRGC).

Among the primary targets were prominent #Jewish sites: the #Ashkenazi #synagogue in #Baku, a modern synagogue in #DilaraAliyevaStreet serving the Ashkenazi and #European Jewish communities. The #Israeli embassy in the capital was also a reported target. Also allegedly targeted was a leader of the ancient Mountain #Jews community, a historic Jewish group with centuries-old roots in the #Caucasus region.

About 6,000 to 7,000 Jews live in Azerbaijan today, according to international Jewish organisations."
