Analyser: Rykten om rysk utrensning cirkulerar

Rykten om en utrensning i de ryska militära leden sprids bland ryska militärbloggare efter Wagnerrevolten, skriver Tim Lister och Katharina Krebs i en analys för CNN. ”Medan den militära ledningens lös med sin frånvaro under revolten var det tjetjenska enheter som förberedde sig för att konfrontera Wagnersoldaterna som valsade fram på gatorna i Rostov-na-Donu”, skriver de. Den populäre bloggaren Rybar påstår att en utrensning redan pågår bland lägre befälhavare, och många spekulerar kring vad toppskiktet egentligen hade för sig under helgens händelser, noterar skribenterna. Belarus diktator Aleksandr Lukasjenko är vanligtvis den som lismar för Vladimir Putin och ber honom om tjänster. Nu är det ombytta roller, skriver Andrew Osborn för Reuters. ”Enligt hans eget och Putins narrativ var det Lukasjenko som spelade en nyckelroll i att kväsa ett myteri som hotade att destabilisera världens största kärnvapenmakt.” Oavsett utfallet har Lukasjenko köpt sig politisk goodwill som han kan växla in vid framtida behov, skriver Osborn.

Veckan efter Trumps triumf

Veckan efter Trumps triumf

▸ Det har gått en vecka sen Donald Trump och Republikanerna vann i rysarvalet i USA. Medan Demokraterna och Kamala Harris slickar sina sår så har Donald Trump satt igång att jobba med vad han vill göra de kommande fyra åren i Vita huset. Bland annat ska han ha ringt till Vladimir Putin och bett honom att inte eskalera kriget i Ukraina - men det är uppgifter som Kreml förnekar. Hur har valresultatet landat? Har Trump ljugit om samtalet med Putin och vad kommer han göra fram till installationen i januari? Gäst: Emelie Svensson, Aftonbladets reporter i New York. Programledare och producent: Jenny Ågren.

Nya uppgifterna om Hvaldimir – väcker fler frågor om "spionvalen"

Nya uppgifterna om Hvaldimir – väcker fler frågor om "spionvalen"

Vitvalen Hvaldimir – vars namn är ett hopkok av det norska ordet för val och Rysslands president Vladimir Putins förnamn – blev känd för första gången 2019 när den siktades utanför Norges kust. Fiskare upptäckte att valen hade en slags sele på sig med plats för en kamera, och när det framkom att selen var tillverkad i Sankt Petersburg pekades valen ut som en rysk ”spionval”. En benämning som kan ha varit felaktig, enligt en ny BBC-dokumentär. Tränades att vakta Jennifer Shaw är regissör för dokumentären ”Secrets of the Spy Whale”, där det framgår att Hvaldimir snarare tränades upp till att bli en slags ”vaktval”. Delfiner kan tränas till att upptäcka och larma för dykare och ska ha använts av Sovjetunionens flotta i Svarta havet i just det syftet, men har bytts ut mot valar då de tål lägre vattentemperaturer. – Det öppnar för frågan vad Ryssland vill skydda i Arktis – och varför, säger Jennifer Shaw, som regisserat dokumentären, till The Guardian. Kan ha använts för att skydda u-båtar Arktis fick ökad strategisk betydelse under kalla kriget, och Jennifer Shaw tror att valar började användas under den tiden för att skydda vapenbestyckade u-båtar i Rysslands norra flotta. Något som backas upp av den tidigare sovjetiske delfintränaren och befälhavaren Volodymyr Belousiuk, som var posterad i Murmansk vid den tiden och som uppger att man började intressera sig för valar ungefär då. Hvaldimir hittades död utanför södra Norges kust i september. Djurrättsorganisationer hävdade att han hade blivit skjuten, men efter en obduktion framkom det att han hade fått en stor pinne i munnen och kvävts till döds.

Ryska skräcksiffrorna från Ukraina: 1500 döda och skadade – varje dag

Ryska skräcksiffrorna från Ukraina: 1500 döda och skadade – varje dag

Ryssland lider rekordstora förluster på fältet. BBC rapporterar att landet har haft sin värsta månad hittills sedan de inledde den fullskaliga invasionen av Ukraina. Under oktober har i genomsnitt 1 500 dött eller skadats varje dag. Detta gör att Rysslands förluster är nästan uppe i 700 000 sedan februari 2022. Den totala siffran räknar med stupade, skadade och försvunna. Den brittiske försvarschefen och amiralen Tony Radakin säger till BBC att det ryska folket betalar ett ”extraordinärt pris” för Vladimir Putins invasion. – Ryssland är på väg att drabbas av 700 000 dödade eller skadade människor. Det är en enorm smärta och lidande som den ryska nationen måste bära på grund av Putins ambitioner, säger han. Så mycket lägger Ryssland på försvaret Han menar att de stora förlusterna bara gav små markvinningar. – Det råder ingen tvekan om att Ryssland gör taktiska, territoriella, vinster och det sätter press på Ukraina, säger han.

Tony Radakin tillägger att Ryssland lägger mer än 40 procent av sina offentliga utgifter på försvar och säkerhet, vilket är en enorm belastning för landet, menar han. ”Det är budskapet till Putin” Medan allierade till USA:s blivande president Donald Trump insisterar på att Ukrainas president Volodymyr Zelenskyj kan bli tvungen att avstå från vissa territorium för att få ett slut på kriget så insisterar Tony Radakin på att väst måste vara beslutsamma i sitt stöd så länge det krävs.

– Det är budskapet som president Putin måste ta till sig och det är den försäkran president Zelenskyj ska få, säger han.

Donald Trump har konsekvent sagt att hans prioritet är att avsluta kriget och stoppa militärt och ekonomiskt stöd till Ukraina då det ”dränerar amerikanska resurser”. Han har dock inte sagt konkret hur han tänker få slut på kriget, men han har lovat att det ska ta slut inom 24 timmar efter att han tillträtt som president.

Transcendance #9 - Achilles heel of Vladimir Putin | William Browder | TEDxBerlin (2018)

(source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT254smRufA ) How I figured out the Achilles heel of Vladimir Putin | William Browder | TEDxBerlin William Browder is an American-born investor and former hedge fund manager who is known for being an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin. In the 1990s, Browder established an investment fund in Russia called the Hermitage Fund, which became successful by investing in the newly privatized companies in the country. However, he later discovered that many of these companies were corrupt and being robbed by their majority shareholders, who were Russian oligarchs. In response, Browder began researching and exposing the corruption and sharing the information with the international media. As a result of his efforts, he has become a prominent critic of Putin and has been targeted by the Russian government in various ways, including being blacklisted and having a warrant issued for his arrest. by TEDx Talks Youtube channel
