Ukraine/Russland/NATO – der Sammler am 30. November 2022

Fürs Archiv: Zum andauernden russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine der Sammler am 30. November 2022:

• Als Konsequenz aus den Anschlägen auf die Nordstream-Pipelines soll sich die NATO koordinierend um den Schutz der unterseeischen Infrastruktur ihrer Mitgliedsländer kümmern. Das schlug Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz am (heutigen) Mittwoch bei einem Treffen mit dem norwegischen Ministerpräsidenten Jonas Støre in Berlin vor:

Jonas und ich haben auch im wahrsten Sinne vertieft über den Schutz der kritischen Infrastruktur auf dem Meeresboden gesprochen. Pipelines, Telefonkabel und Internetverbindungen sind Lebensadern für unsere Staaten und müssen ganz besonders gesichert werden. Nicht zuletzt die Anschläge auf die Pipelines von Nord Stream 1 und Nord Stream 2 haben gezeigt, welche großen Risiken hier bestehen. Deshalb haben wir nach den Anschlägen auch rasch gemeinsam reagiert. Drei deutsche Fregatten liefen zu Patrouillen in norwegische Gewässer aus und trugen zur Lagebildaufklärung bei.
Jonas und ich sind überzeugt, dass wir internationale Ansätze noch stärker miteinander koordinieren müssen, um die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten der betroffenen Küstenstaaten einzubeziehen, deren polizeilichen und militärischen Kräfte effizient aufeinander abzustimmen und Akteure wie die Europäische Union und privatwirtschaftliche Unternehmen gut einzubinden.
Für einen solchen Ansatz ist die NATO mit ihren erprobten Koordinierungsfähigkeiten, ihrer maritimen Präsenz und ihrer Expertise sehr geeignet. Unser Ziel muss sein, rasch eine gute, ständige und pragmatische internationale Abstimmung aller relevanten Akteure zum Schutz dieser Infrastruktur zu erreichen und für den Notfall auch eine schnelle Reaktionsfähigkeit sicherzustellen. Wir sind uns einig darin, den NATO-Generalsekretär zu bitten, eine Koordinierungsstelle für den Schutz der Unterwasser-Infrastruktur einzurichten. Damit wollen wir auch ein klares Zeichen nach außen setzen. Den Schutz unserer kritischen Infrastruktur nehmen wir sehr ernst, und niemand soll glauben, dass Angriffe ohne Konsequenzen bleiben würden. Heute Abend werden wir beide darüber auch mit dem NATO-Generalsekretär sprechen.

• Das britische Intel Update:

In July 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved amendments to the 2012 ‘Foreign Agents Law’, which has been widely used to repress opponents of the regime. The new measures are scheduled to come into force on 01 December 2022.
The 2012 law defined ‘foreign agents’ as individuals or organisations who have received financial support from abroad. The amendments will extend the definition to those which are merely under undefined ‘influence or pressure’ of foreign actors.
The Ministry of Justice will also have the power to publish the personal details and addresses of designated ‘foreign agents’, almost certainly placing them at risk of harassment.
The new laws will further extend the repressive powers available to the Russian state. This continues a trend since Putin returned to the presidency in 2012, but which has dramatically accelerated since the invasion of Ukraine.
The Kremlin is likely acting pre-emptively to prevent greater domestic dissent as the conflict remains unresolved and increasingly impacts Russians’ everyday lives.
