Cordlife Unveils Enhanced Processing and Storage Facility in Singapore; Strengthens Processes as It Resumes Collection of Cord Blood Units in a Controlled Manner

September 17, 2024
SINGAPORE, Sept 17, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Cordlife Group Limited (“Cordlife” or the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), which has been approved to resume cord blood banking activities in Singapore in a controlled manner, today unveiled its enhanced processing and storage facility, featuring strengthened operational protocols and an advanced laboratory monitoring system, among other improvements.Group Executive Director Ms Chen Xiaoling and Group Chief Executive Officer Mr Ivan Yiu said the intense rectification efforts leading up to the resumption of its services highlight Cordlife's commitment to rebuilding trust with clients in Singapore and laying a stronger foundation for future growth."We sincerely apologise for the distress the incident has caused. We are deeply grateful for the patience shown by our clients and the authorities. We drew support from external industry experts as part of our in-depth review,” said Ms Chen."After vigorous evaluation, the Board, which was reconstituted on 14 May, continues to identify safeguards to prevent such incidents from recurring. We are fully committed to making Cordlife safer, stronger, and more secure for the families who trust us with their children's future health," Ms Chen added.Enhanced Lab Monitoring and Operational ResilienceA significant highlight of the enhanced 5,400 square feet (502 sqm) facility is its new laboratory monitoring system. This system tracks the temperature of 27 cryogenic storage tanks and other critical equipment, ensuring 24/7 real-time surveillance both on-site and remotely. It provides detailed alerts to technicians, supervisors, and management through multiple communication channels, with procedures in place to escalate issues to senior leadership if necessary.To further safeguard operations and power supply, the monitoring system is equipped with its own power source, while other equipment in the facility is supported by multiple uninterruptible power supplies and a backup generator. Additionally, the Company has strengthened its core processes and implemented additional failsafe measures, such as assigning more technicians to be on duty after office hours, ensuring continuous operations under any circumstances.Validated Cord Blood Processing CapabilitiesThe facility’s cord blood processing laboratory is equipped with four units of AXP® II system, a U.S. FDA-approved automated platform for processing cord blood. The Company has successfully completed validation of this system under the supervision of the Ministry of Health's (MOH) expert panel. The system’s advanced sensors ensure precise control during processing, allowing for a higher yield of viable stem cells, which is crucial for successful cord blood transplants. The Company has also refurbished its facility and plans to reorganise its key laboratory equipment to streamline operations and improve efficiency. Staffing and Governance EnhancementsOn human resources, Mr Yiu said, “To enhance operational capabilities and improve service quality further, we have increased our laboratory and technical personnel by 18% since I was appointed. We will continue to recruit more experts and professionals to elevate standards further and prepare for future growth.” To ensure robust oversight, Cordlife has established a dedicated oversight committee comprised of certain Board members and management, as well as a Medical and Technical Advisory Board.Strategic Partnerships and Controlled Resumption of Cord Blood CollectionCordlife has also engaged Shandong Qilu Stemcell Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Qilu”), a leading cord blood bank in China, to further strengthen its operational capabilities. Shandong Qilu’s expertise, gained from managing about 1 million cord blood units and facilitating over 10,000 cord blood transplants in China, brings invaluable expertise to the Singapore team.From 15 September 2024 to 13 January 2025 (unless approved sooner by MOH), Cordlife will be permitted to resume its cord blood banking services operations in a controlled manner, provided that the Company shall not collect, test, process, and/or store more than 30 new cord blood units per month from infant donors (including through any person appointed to provide the aforementioned services on behalf of the Company). This follows MOH’s confirmation that Cordlife’s facility in Singapore has “met the essential criteria necessary for the resumption of its cord blood banking services operations.”Ms Chen said, “Over the last nine months, our staff has worked closely with various industry experts and, most importantly, MOH. We thank MOH for its guidance, which has helped Cordlife emerge with a much stronger foundation. We intend to progress from controlled resumption to full resumption. We will work hard to regain the full trust of MOH and our clients in Singapore.”Mr Yiu said, “Cordlife has emerged from a major challenge, which has made us a more robust cord blood bank in Singapore. Our facilities outside of Singapore are not affected. We will grow our Group’s operations to provide more reliable and innovative services, establish strategic partnerships, and grow our market share in the region.”Commitment to Clients and TransparencyCordlife has been engaging with active clients affected by temperature excursions in two cryogenic storage tanks and a dry shipper to offer a refund of annual fees received from the start of the temperature excursion and a waiver of subsequent fees until the maturity of service agreements when the child turns 21. The Company will store these units at no cost until the maturity of their service agreements when the child turns 21. Cordlife will not unilaterally dispose of any cord blood units for clients whose service agreements are nearing or have already passed maturity until a resolution is reached. If a transplant physician deems the cord blood unit unsuitable for an approved cord blood transplant solely due to its failure to meet the viability criteria, Cordlife will make all reasonable efforts to find a suitable replacement.Additionally, donated cord blood units stored in five other cryogenic storage tanks, deemed at low risk of being adversely affected by temperature excursions, are undergoing further testing following the results of the preliminary impact assessment conducted earlier this year. Billings for clients with cord blood in these tanks have been paused pending the test results. Ms Chen concluded, “Cordlife appreciates the support of all clients over the years. We also thank all clients who have accepted our resolutions in recent months. We are encouraged by this and will continue to engage the remaining clients to reach an amicable resolution.”ABOUT CORDLIFE GROUP LIMITEDCordlife Group Limited (“Cordlife”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), founded in 2001, owns and operates Asia’s largest network of private cord blood banks.

LENVIMA(R) (lenvatinib) Plus KEYTRUDA(R) (pembrolizumab) in Combination With Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) Significantly Improved Progression-Free Survival Compared to TACE Alone in Patients With Unresectable, Non-Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) JCN Newswire

LENVIMA(R) (lenvatinib) Plus KEYTRUDA(R) (pembrolizumab) in Combination With Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) Significantly Improved Progression-Free Survival Compared to TACE Alone in Patients With Unresectable, Non-Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

September 17, 2024
TOKYO and RAHWAY, N.J., Sept 17, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai and Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA (known as MSDoutside of the United States and Canada) today announced results from the first interim analysis of the Phase 3 LEAP-012 trial evaluating LENVIMA® (lenvatinib), the orally available multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)discovered by Eisai, plus KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab), the anti-PD-1 therapy from Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA, in combination with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) compared to TACE alone for the treatment of patients with unresectable, non-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These late-breaking data were presented for the first time on September 14 (Central European Summer Time) during a Presidential Symposium at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024 (Presentation #LBA3).After a median follow-up of 25.6 months (range, 12.6-43.5), LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA in combination with TACE demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival (PFS),reducing the risk of disease progression or death by 34% (HR=0.66 [95% CI, 0.51-0.84]; p=0.0002) compared toTACE alone. Median PFS was 14.6 months (95% CI, 12.6-16.7) for the LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA-based regimen versus 10.0 months (95% CI, 8.1-12.2) for TACE alone. At this analysis, a trend toward improvement in overall survival (OS), the trial’s other primaryendpoint, was observed for the LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA- based regimen versus TACE alone (HR=0.80 [95% CI,0.57-1.11]; p=0.0867); the OS data are not mature and did not reach statistical significance at the time of this interim analysis. The trial is continuing, andfollow-up of OS is ongoing. The safety profile of the LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA- based regimen was consistent with that observed in previously reported studies evaluating the combination.“Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, highlighting the need for new treatment options,1,2” said Dr. Josep Llovet, Director of the Liver Cancer Program and Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “These findings from the LEAP-012 trial demonstrate the potential of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab in combination with TACE to extend progression-free survival for patients diagnosed with unresectable, non-metastatic disease.”“Global incidence rates for hepatocellular carcinoma are expected to rise by more than 50 percent over the next two decades and there have been limited advances for patients with unresectable, non-metastatic forms of disease, 3” said Dr. Gregory Lubiniecki, Vice President, Global Clinical Development, MSD Research Laboratories. “These resultsreflect our commitment to exploring therapeutic options for these patients, including in earlier stages of disease. We’re encouraged by the potential for another treatment option for patients with unresectable non- metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma in addition to the existing monotherapy indications for KEYTRUDA and LENVIMA.”“Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been a standard of care option for patients with unresectable,non-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma for many years; however, many patients experience disease progression within one year,4,5,6,7” said Dr. Corina Dutcus, Senior Vice President, Oncology Global Clinical Development Lead atEisai Inc. “Data from the Phase 3 LEAP-012 study demonstrate that the addition of LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA toTACE may help address the unmet need for therapies that can improve progression-free survival for people with thisdisease. We are grateful to the patients and investigators for their participation in this study.” Treatment was administered to 237 patients receiving the KEYTRUDA plus LENVIMA-based regimen and 241 patients receiving TACE alone. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 98.7%of patients receiving LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA in combination with TACE versus 84.6% of patients receiving TACEalone and led to the discontinuation of both study drugs in 8.4% versus 1.2% of patients, respectively. Serious adverse events were observed in 33.3% of patients receiving LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA in combination with TACE versus12.4% of patients receiving TACE alone. Grade 3 or 4 TRAEs occurred in 71.3% of patients receiving LENVIMA plusKEYTRUDA in combination with TACE versus 31.1% for TACE alone and TRAEs led to death in 1.7% (n=4) versus 0.4% (n=1) of patients, respectively.LENVIMA monotherapy is approved for the treatment of patients with unresectable HCC in more than 80 countries, including in Japan, the U.S., Europe and China.KEYTRUDA is approved as a monotherapy for the treatment of patients with HCC secondary to hepatitis B who have received prior systemic therapy other than a PD-1/PD-L1- containing regimen in the U.S. and as amonotherapy for the treatment of patients with HCC who have been previously treated with sorafenib or oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy in China.LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA is approved in the U.S., the EU, Japan and other countries for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and certain types of advanced endometrial carcinoma. Lenvatinib is marketedas KISPLYX® for advanced RCC in the EU. Eisai and Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA are studying the LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA combination through the LEAP (LEnvatinib And Pembrolizumab) clinical program in various tumor types, including but not limited to HCC, RCC, head and neck cancer, gastric cancer and esophageal cancer across multiple clinical trials.About LEAP-012LEAP-012 is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind Phase 3 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04246177) evaluating LENVIMA plus KEYTRUDA in combination with TACE versus dual placebo plus TACE for the treatment of patients with unresectable, non-metastatic HCC. The primary endpoints are PFS as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) following amaximum of five target lesions, and with a requirement that new intrahepatic lesions must meet LI-RADS 5 criteria, and OS. Secondary endpoints include objective response rate, duration of response, disease control rate, and time toprogression as assessed by BICR per RECIST v1.1 and Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(mRECIST), as well as PFS as assessed by BICR per mRECIST and safety.

Midea Group Heads For Global Expansion with its ToB Business

September 17, 2024
HONG KONG, Sept 17, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - According to the data from Wind, the mass consumption index has been on a continuous downward movement since May this year with the cumulative decline being over 10% during the year, and showed a fluctuating decline trend in the past three years, which is currently in an overall undervalued state, and has a comparative advantage in terms of market valuation. Well, the U.S. Federal Reserve has released the signal of an interest rate cut in September, which is expected to add some leeway in domestic monetary policy. Meanwhile, against the expected backdrop of the policy actively promoting the implementation of reforms and stable growth to boost the fundamentals, the leaders in the mass consumption industry represented by Midea Group have registered stable growth in results and made continuous dividends distribution, with enhanced returns to shareholders and outstanding investment appeal.Being speeding up the process of its global expansion, Midea Group has currently completed its IPO in the H share stock market and become listed on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange today, achieving the milestone of “A+H” dual listing. Not long ago, Midea Group published its 2024 Interim Report, which not only recorded double-digit growth of 10% and 14% in revenue and profit attributable to parent company to RMB218.1 billion and RMB20.8 billion respectively, both of which hit record highs, but also yielded unusually brilliant results in its ToB business, and strong growth was recorded in its overseas business, which grew by 13% year-on-year and far exceeded that of its domestic business, thus realising a further upgrade of its “global impact”.Going global to accelerate the spillover of its industrial chains and create a sample of Chinese enterprises’ global expansionAt present, the home appliance market of China has entered a mature stage, with the average per household ownership of major categories of products being close to a reasonable level, and the consumption demand being dominated by upgrading of existing products. The competitive landscape is stabilising, and the room for market share expansion is limited. In view of that, global expansion is the general trend in the industry. Midea, which has successfully transformed itself into a globalised technology group in recent years, has significant advantages in terms of scale, R&D, manufacturing, channels and marketing, and there may be a promising future for it to go global.The value of the global home appliance industry chain is distributed in a “smile-shaped” manner, with the demands from European and American markets are mainly upgrade, while in emerging markets, there is significant room for the penetration rate to increase, the export side has therefore relatively large growth potential for Chinese enterprises. Currently, global impact is one of the core strategies for Midea Group, and the Company has taken the route of branding overseas and relocating capacity concurrently to build a second “home court” overseas, and adheres to the OBM (Own Brands) priority strategy to develop exports and shape new growth momentum.By building a global R&D, manufacturing and sales network, Midea Group has been enabling the penetration of its brand in a multi-dimensional and all-round way, unleashing the spillover effect of the industrial chain and strengthening its globalisation development capability. Midea has set up 17 overseas R&D centers in 10 countries abroad, integrating global R&D resources and forming a global technology R&D capability with complementary advantages. The Company has established 22 overseas production bases, realising production and delivery globally, and enjoying growth opportunities in overseas markets, with its products having been exported to more than 200 countries and regions around the world, and the Company has established online and offline sales networks in many markets overseas, with about 5,000 after-sales service outlets. Its overseas OBM business, mainly Toshiba, Midea and Comfee brands, is also growing rapidly and its OBM products have demonstrated strong competitiveness in many overseas markets.The results of the intensive efforts in overseas markets are clearly reflected in the operational data and financial performance. Benefiting from the continuous development of its overseas smart home business and the enhancement of user experience, in the first half of 2024, the smart home apps of Midea had over 1 million newly registered users overseas and 3.1 million registered users, with the average number of monthly active users increasing by nearly 150% year-on-year. At the same time, the Company insisted on digital transformation, using digital tools to empower overseas terminal retail, with more than 1,500 new digital terminal outlets. In addition, the Company also launched e-commerce business overseas to boost the development of its own brand, with e-commerce sales revenue having increased by more than 50% year-on-year in the first half of 2024.Although facing multiple risks and challenges in its development in overseas home appliance market due to multiple factors such as macroeconomic fluctuations, drastic changes in exchange rates and persistently high inflation, Midea Group adhered to the consumer-centric product orientation, strengthened localised operation overseas, and promoted the strong growth of its overseas business against the trend, realising a revenue of RMB91.1 billion in the first half of the year, accounting for 42% of the total revenue of the Company, which made it be the second largest A-share listed company in terms of overseas revenue.For such beautiful results, the outside world has fully saw the ability and confidence behind the global impact of the Midea Group, and in the boom of going global for Chinese enterprises, the Company has successfully created a global expansion sample of high-quality development. With the inventory level of mainstream overseas home appliance consumer markets continuing to decline, sea freight charges have gradually dropped since the second half of 2022, home appliance export sales are expected to continue with a high degree of prosperity, and the benefits of going global are evident. It is just a beginning for Midea Group to benefit from such move.Enhancing Both Quality and Quantity of ToB Business, and Extending Growth Resilience by Diversified LayoutMidea Group’s global impact is not just quantity enhancement for going global, but also a premiumization strategy in a way to seek quantity growth in ToB business (Commercial & Industrial Solutions business). During the ToB business’ transformation, Midea Group actively cultivates new quality productive forces, steps up efforts in four major segments, and continues to promote industrial upgrading with technological innovation, endeavoring to lengthen the second growth curve that drives the Company's continuous results growth, and to enrich the Company's intrinsic value.Regarding the Energy Solutions & Industrial Technology segments, Midea emphasises on growth and creation and continues to expand its business boundaries and achieve accelerated growth. In the first half of 2024, Midea filed more than 680 new patent applications, was granted more than 2,700 patents for inventions, and was awarded one Gold Prize and two Merit Prizes for the Tenth Guangdong Provincial Patent Award, as well as one Silver Prize for the Tenth Anhui Provincial Patent Award. Its R&D achievements have won numerous awards in the industry, and the “High Torque Density and Low Torque Ripple Direct Drive Permanent Magnetic Motor” technology led by Midea, which can provide smaller and quieter motor solutions for air-conditioning products, has been recognised as internationally leading level.Regarding the Intelligent Building Technology segment, Midea has six major product manufacturing bases and seven research and development centers around the world, with a sales network covering the global market, and has formed the largest professional intelligent building product matrix and service network with a complete range of products in China. According to online industrial data, in the first half of 2024, Midea continued to rank first in the industry in terms of sales scale in the domestic central air-conditioning market, and topped the list in the industry in terms of market share for core products such as unit air conditioner and module air conditioner, with a market share of approximately 36% and 13% respectively, and was among the top in the industry in the domestic multi-connected market.Regarding the Robotics & Automation segment, according to MIR statistics, in the first half of 2024, KUKA China's orders in the consumer electronics industry increased significantly, and the domestic market share of KUKA's industrial robots further increased to around 7.8%. As China's manufacturing industry accelerates its overseas expansion, KUKA China has made full use of its overseas channel network and market access advantages to boost its overseas market development with locally developed robotic products in China, and its orders from overseas market in the first half of the year also increased significantly year-on-year, with its mobile robotics business accounting for close to 50% of its overseas revenue.Supported by its technology leadership, the ToB business of Midea Group is making rapid progress, enabling Midea Group's growth resilience to be more explosive. In the first half of 2024, the Company's revenue from Energy Solutions & Industrial Technology amounted to RMB17.1 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 26%; revenue from Intelligent Building Technology amounted to RMB15.7 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 6%; and revenue from Robotics & Automation amounted to RMB13.9 billion. On the basis of the solid leading position of its ToC (Smart Home Solutions) business, the balanced development of ToC and ToB will gradually optimise the Company's business structure through cyclical complementarities in multiple industries, and drive the overall profitability of Midea Group to continue to improve.Focusing on comprehensive intelligentization and digitalization, its in-depth layout and effective execution in the international market and ToB business have pushed Midea Group to make achievements in both “going global and diversification”, and with its firm strategies, the Company is striding forward towards becoming a global B-end enterprise. Its listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will also help the Company to further enhance its international image and open up broader space for its expanding in overseas markets and enhancing its overall competitiveness, thus enabling its market scarcity attributes and investment value to be ready to unleash.

September 16, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Walaupun beberapa pemimpin dunia sekali lagi memberikan reaksi terhadap percubaan pembunuhan lain terhadap bekas Presiden Donald Trump, respons dari negara-negara lain adalah perlahan atau tidak wujud hanya sembilan minggu selepas percubaan pertama terhadap nyawa bekas presiden tersebut. Pemimpin dari negara-negara sekutu utama AS, seperti Australia, Kanada, Itali, Jerman dan Perancis, belum mengeluarkan kenyataan mengecam percubaan pembunuhan kedua tersebut sehingga pagi Isnin. Hanya sedikit butiran mengenai insiden tersebut, yang berlaku ketika bekas presiden bermain golf di kelabnya di West Palm Beach, Florida, pada hari Ahad, telah dikeluarkan, dan motif suspek, Ryan Wesley Ruth, 58 tahun, juga masih tidak jelas.Walaupun ada respons yang tidak jelas dari beberapa pemimpin dunia, pemimpin lain menyatakan kecaman terhadap keganasan politik. Dalam mesej kepada wartawan, Perdana Menteri Britain Keir Starmer, yang baru berada di AS untuk bertemu dengan Presiden Biden minggu lalu, berkata dia "sangat bimbang" dengan berita itu."Saya fikir sangat penting kita semua sangat jelas bahawa keganasan tidak ada tempat dalam mana-mana proses politik," katanya, menurut beberapa media berita Britain. Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu menggunakan media sosial untuk berkongsi reaksinya dan berkata dia dan isterinya "terkejut" dengan percubaan kedua dan "lega mendengar bahawa ia juga gagal.""Tetapi kita tidak boleh bergantung pada nasib," katanya. "Kami mengucapkan selamat kepada Donald dan Melania serta berharap semua langkah akan diambil untuk memastikan bahawa serangan maut seperti itu terhadap calon presiden AS dapat dicegah terlebih dahulu."Perdana Menteri Hungary Viktor Orbán - yang baru-baru ini berada di AS di antara Trump dan pencabar Demokratnya Naib Presiden Kamala Harris - juga berkongsi pendapatnya di X."Jelas sekali bahawa nyawa Presiden Trump berada dalam bahaya, sehingga kemenangannya," kata Orbán. "Kami berdoa untuk anda, Tuan Presiden!"Trump, seperti Orbán, telah menarik perhatian antarabangsa kerana penentangannya terhadap bantuan Barat kepada Ukraine dan telah menimbulkan kebimbangan tentang sama ada AS akan terus mempersenjatai Ukraine sekiranya dia memenangi pilihan raya pada bulan November ini. Dia mendakwa bahawa dia boleh mengakhiri peperangan sebelum memegang jawatan tertinggi pada Januari 2025 sekiranya dia mendapat penggal kedua pada musim gugur ini, walaupun dia enggan mengulas lanjut bagaimana dia akan melakukan ini atau menjelaskan sama ada dia menyokong kemenangan Ukraine berbanding Rusia. Walaupun FBI belum mengeluarkan butiran tentang motif Ruth, media AS dan antarabangsa telah menunjukkan sokongan Ruth terhadap Ukraine, dengan beberapa laporan mendakwa dia membantu merekrut untuk usaha perang Kyiv melalui International Legion Defense of Ukraine. Digital tidak dapat mengesahkan sama ada Ruth secara langsung terlibat dalam peperangan di Ukraine melalui usaha pertempuran atau perekrutan, walaupun pegawai Ukraine menentang laporan yang mendakwa bahawa dia terlibat dan berkata, "Khabar angin yang disebarkan dalam media tertentu tidak benar.""Warga Amerika Ryan Ruth tidak pernah berkhidmat dalam International Legion of the Man Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, tidak ada kaitan dengan unit itu," kata International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine, unit tentera yang terdiri daripada sukarelawan asing yang berperang dalam Ukrainian Ground Forces," dalam catatan di Instagram pada hari Isnin.Presiden Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy tidak merujuk kepada penyerang itu tetapi berkata dia gembira mendengar Trump selamat."Bagus bahawa suspek dalam percubaan pembunuhan itu ditangkap dengan cepat," katanya dalam catatan di X. "Ini adalah prinsip kita: kedaulatan undang-undang adalah yang utama dan keganasan politik tidak ada tempat di mana-mana di dunia. Kami harap semua orang selamat."Rusia tidak kelihatan mengeluarkan kenyataan mengenai percubaan pembunuhan itu, walaupun jurucakap Kremlin Dmitry Peskov pada hari Isnin cuba mengaitkan percubaan kedua terhadap nyawa Trump dengan sokongan penyerang terhadap Ukraine. "Bukan kita yang harus memikirkan hal ini, tetapi perkhidmatan perisikan AS yang harus memikirkan hal ini. Bagaimanapun, bermain dengan api mempunyai akibatnya," kata Peskov ketika ditanya mengenai kejadian Ahad, lapor Reuters. Pegawai Ukraine berkata Rusia menggunakan keganasan politik sebagai usaha untuk menyebarkan "teori konspirasi."Andriy Kovalenko, ketua Pusat Menentang Penyebaran Maklumat Palsu Ukraine, berkata Kremlin "menggunakan percubaan pembunuhan lain terhadap Trump terhadap Ukraine di lapangan maklumat.""Musuh akan melancarkan beberapa teori konspirasi tentang ‘jejak Ukraine’. Sudah tentu, semua ini adalah pembohongan," tambahnya, . Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Duta Besar Israel ke PBB Kecam Badan Dunia, Kata UNRWA Dikuasai Teroris Hamas di Gaza

September 16, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - JERUSALEM - Duta Besar Israel ke badan dunia, Danny Danon, mengeluarkan kecaman yang pedas terhadap Agensi Bantuan dan Kerja untuk Pelarian Palestin (UNRWA), dengan mengisytiharkan pengganas Hamas sedang menjalankan organisasi itu di Semenanjung Gaza.Ucapan Danon dibuat setelah serangan udara Israel minggu lepas yang mengenai sekolah UNRWA al-Jaouni di kem pelarian Gaza. Danon mempersoalkan, "Berapa lama lagi PBB akan terus menutup mata dan mengabaikan hakikat bahawa pengganas Hamas telah mengambil alih UNRWA? Mereka yang terbunuh semalam (Rabu) dalam serangan IDF adalah sembilan pengganas yang berlumuran darah, dan sebahagian daripada mereka terlibat dalam pembunuhan beramai-ramai yang kejam pada 7 Oktober. Jika masih ada keraguan, berikut adalah nama pengganas Hamas yang berada di kawasan sekolah menyamar sebagai 'kakitangan tempatan UNRWA.'"Sekolah itu, yang tidak beroperasi, digunakan sebagai pusat kawalan dan arahan Hamas, menurut Angkatan Pertahanan Israel (IDF).Danon menyenaraikan nama pengganas Hamas yang bersekutu dengan UNRWA dalam catatan X beliau, sambil menyatakan "UNRWA-Gaza adalah organisasi pengganas yang anggotanya terlibat dalam pembunuhan beramai-ramai pada 7 Oktober, dan anggotanya telah menculik dan membunuh orang awam Israel yang tidak bersalah. Sudah tiba masanya untuk menutup UNRWA." Baru-baru ini, Digital melaporkan bahawa UNRWA kerana kemungkinan terlibat dalam pembunuhan beramai-ramai Hamas terhadap hampir 1,200 orang pada 7 Oktober di selatan Israel.Ketika dihubungi oleh Digital, Juliette Touma, jurucakap UNRWA, mendakwa "Pihak berkuasa Israel tidak meminta UNRWA secara rasmi untuk memberikan mereka senarai kakitangan yang terbunuh dalam serangan ke atas sekolah UNRWA semalam." Beliau menambah, "Nama-nama yang dipaparkan dalam kenyataan hari ini daripada Tentera Israel tidak pernah dilaporkan kepada kami sebelum ini oleh pihak berkuasa Israel pada kesempatan sebelumnya sebelum hari ini."Beliau mengadu, "Kami selalu mengetahui tentang tuduhan yang sangat serius ini dalam media. Selepas kejadian." Sekolah-sekolah di Gaza tidak beroperasi sejak sejurus selepas Israel melancarkan perang terhadap Hamas sebagai tindak balas kepada pembunuhan beramai-ramai pada 7 Oktober di selatan Israel. Digital meminta Angkatan Pertahanan Israel mengenai kenyataan Touma. Seorang jurucakap IDF berkata "Daripada apa yang saya faham, agak jelas di Gaza siapa yang dimiliki oleh siapa. Saya tidak fikir ini mengejutkan sesiapa pun di UNRWA, hanya percubaan untuk mengalihkan perbincangan dan menyalahkan." Jurucakap IDF menegaskan bahawa komen jurucakap UNRWA itu "Kedengaran seperti pemindahan daripada membincangkan isu penting - pengganas yang bekerja untuk organisasi itu dan menggunakan UNRWA sebagai topeng."Hillel Neuer, pengarah eksekutif U.N. Watch, memberitahu Digital. "Ini adalah serangan tepat yang menyasarkan pengganas yang menanamkan pusat kawalan dan arahan di dalam kawasan yang sebelum ini berfungsi sebagai sekolah. PBB seharusnya mengutuk Hamas kerana menggunakan bangunan awam untuk tujuan ketenteraan, yang merupakan jenayah perang di bawah Konvensyen Geneva. Sebaliknya, mereka bergegas mengutuk Israel."Neuer, yang telah memberi keterangan kepada Kongres mengenai agensi kontroversi itu, mendakwa, "UNRWA adalah penyokong teguh organisasi pengganas Hamas. Kakitangan mereka secara rutin meraikan serangan pengganas terhadap warga Israel dan Yahudi, seperti yang telah kita kenal pasti dalam banyak laporan kita, menyenaraikan kira-kira 200 nama. Seterusnya, kita kenal pasti ketua , yang merupakan pegawai kanan dalam Hamas. Suhail al-Hindi, yang selama bertahun-tahun mengetuai kesatuan guru UNRWA di Gaza, berada di biro politik Hamas bersama Yahya Sinwar. Begitu juga, ketua kesatuan guru UNRWA di Lubnan, Fathi al-Sharif, adalah seorang pengganas kanan Hamas, didokumenkan di laman web kami, unwatch.org."Beliau menyeru kerajaan asing untuk berhenti membiayai UNRWA. "Sudah tiba masanya untuk semua negara barat yang memberikan lebih daripada satu bilion dolar kepada UNRWA untuk berhenti membiayai agensi yang dipenuhi keganasan. Parlimen Switzerland dengan tepat menyeru untuk menghentikan pembiayaan dan untuk menamatkan UNRWA sepenuhnya. Kami menggesa semua demokrasi lain, AS, UK, Perancis, Jerman, dan Jepun, untuk melakukan perkara yang sama."Touma dari UNRWA mengecam keputusan Switzerland. "Parlimen rendah Switzerland mengundi untuk menggantung pembiayaan kepada UNRWA. Tidak dapat difahami bagaimana ini boleh berlaku dalam keadaan di mana Agensi berada di barisan hadapan kerja bantuan kemanusiaan yang menyelamatkan nyawa di Gaza. Switzerland terkenal dengan perjuangannya untuk bantuan kemanusiaan dan memainkan peranan utama dalam mempromosikan undang-undang kemanusiaan antarabangsa."Touma menambah, "Ahli Parlimen yang mengundi untuk menghapuskan Agensi yang diamanahkan oleh Perhimpunan Agung PBB tanpa menawarkan alternatif politik kepada rakyat Palestin di bawah pendudukan sekali lagi berada di pihak sejarah yang salah." AS telah menggantung pembiayaan kepada UNRWA kerana peranan yang dimainkan oleh beberapa pegawainya dalam pembunuhan beramai-ramai pada 7 Oktober. pada mulanya memulakan semula bantuan kepada agensi yang dilanda kontroversi itu sebaik sahaja memegang jawatan selepas keputusan bekas Presiden Donald Trump untuk mencabut dana organisasi yang kontroversi itu pada tahun 2018.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Filipina hantar kapal pengawal pantai baharu ke Sabina Shoal, mencabar permintaan China untuk penarikan balik

September 15, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - berkata ia sedang menghantar sebuah kapal ke Sabina Shoal untuk menggantikan kapal pengawal pantai yang kembali ke pelabuhan pada hari Ahad selepas lima bulan ditempatkan di ciri yang dipertikaikan di Laut China Selatan, dalam pertukaran yang mungkin akan menyakitkan hati China.Beijing telah menuntut Filipina menarik balik kapal pengawal pantai 318 kaki Teresa Magbanua yang didakwanya "terdampar secara haram" di atol itu, yang didakwanya sebagai miliknya sebagai sebahagian daripada tuntutannya yang lebih luas terhadap hampir seluruh Laut China Selatan."Tindakan pihak Filipina telah mencabul kedaulatan wilayah China dengan serius," kata Liu Dejun, jurucakap pengawal pantai dalam satu kenyataan pada hari Ahad mengenai apa yang dirujuknya sebagai "pengunduran" Manila terhadap kapalnya.Teresa Magbanua, yang ditempatkan di Sabina Shoal untuk memantau apa yang disyaki oleh Manila sebagai aktiviti penambakan tanah berskala kecil China di kawasan itu, telah kembali ke pelabuhan kerana misinya telah selesai, kata Pengawal Pantai Filipina dan Majlis Maritim Kebangsaan (NMC). "Yang lain akan segera mengambil alih," kata jurucakap NMC Alexander Lopez, memetik arahan daripada ketua Pengawal Pantai Filipina. "Pasti, kami akan mengekalkan kehadiran kami di sana."Sabina Shoal, yang dirujuk oleh China sebagai Xianbin Reef dan Filipina sebagai Escoda Shoal, terletak 93 batu ke barat wilayah Filipina Palawan, jauh di dalam zon ekonomi eksklusif negara itu.Kehadiran Teresa Magbanua di sana telah menimbulkan kemarahan Beijing, menjadikan shoal itu sebagai titik panas terbaru dalam laluan air yang dipertikaikan.Manila dan Beijing telah saling menuduh perlanggaran kapal masing-masing berhampiran Sabina bulan lalu, sejurus selepas mencapai pakatan mengenai misi bekalan semula ke kapal tentera laut Filipina yang terdampar di Second Thomas Shoal.Kembalinya Teresa Magbanua adalah perlu untuk keperluan perubatan krunya dan untuk menjalani pembaikan, dan sebaik sahaja ia telah dibekalkan semula dan diperbaiki, ia akan meneruskan misinya, bersama-sama dengan pengawal pantai dan "sebagai pembela kedaulatan kita," kata Lucas Bersamin, setiausaha eksekutif dan pengerusi NMC dalam satu kenyataan.Langkah itu menyusuli perbincangan peringkat tinggi antara Manila dan Beijing di China minggu lalu ketika Filipina menegaskan semula pendiriannya mengenai Sabina dan China mengulangi permintaannya agar kapal itu ditarik balik.Pengawal pantai China berkata ia akan terus menjalankan aktiviti penguatkuasaan undang-undang di perairan di bawah bidang kuasa Beijing selaras dengan undang-undang dan melindungi kedaulatan wilayah dan hak maritim dan kepentingannya.China mendakwa kedaulatan ke atas sebahagian besar Laut China Selatan, yang bertindih dengan zon maritim Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Filipina dan Vietnam.Pada tahun 2016, tribunal timbang tara Hague membatalkan tuntutan China yang luas dan bersejarah, keputusan yang ditolak oleh Beijing.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Kerajaan UK dituduh menindas kebebasan bersuara: ‘Berfikir sebelum anda pos’

September 14, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - LONDON - Britain sedang menghadapi krisis kebebasan bersuara ketika kerajaan kiri baru, polis dan mahkamah yang terlalu bersemangat melakukan tindakan keras terhadap kebebasan bersuara.Perdana Menteri , pemimpin Parti Buruh yang berkuasa, dan kerajaan beliau yang baru berusia dua bulan telah dituduh menarik balik perlindungan kebebasan bersuara atas alasan keselamatan dan gagal menghapuskan penguatkuasaan undang-undang yang terpilih."Setiap rakyat Britain secara asasnya mempunyai hak untuk kebebasan bersuara, tetapi sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, kita telah melihat satu trend yang semakin meningkat," kata Lois McLatchie Miller, Pegawai Komunikasi Undang-undang Kanan untuk Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) U.K., kepada Digital. "Barulah sekarang ia menjadi meluas diketahui bahawa kumpulan-kumpulan tertentu, bergantung kepada kepercayaan mereka, nampaknya kebebasan bersuara mereka dikekang dengan lebih mudah berbanding dengan yang lain yang mempunyai pandangan yang berbeza."di jalan-jalan di England bulan lepas dan pendekatan yang kasar sebagai tindak balas terhadap kekecohan sosial telah menghidupkan kembali perdebatan tentang kebebasan bersuara.U.K. telah bergelut dengan pemantauan ucapan dalam talian yang keras selama bertahun-tahun. Pada tahun 2019, bekas pegawai polis Harry Miller disiasat atas catatan media sosial yang dianggap transfobik kerana mempersoalkan sama ada wanita transgender adalah wanita sejati. Catatan Miller direkodkan oleh polis sebagai "insiden kebencian bukan jenayah," yang mendorongnya untuk mencabar penamaan tersebut di mahkamah. Pada tahun 2020, mahkamah U.K. memutuskan memihak kepada Miller tetapi tidak mengubah garis panduan yang membolehkan polis untuk mengejar orang atas komen yang dibuat dalam talian.Semasa berucap di parlimen, pemimpin Parti Reformasi Nigel Farage mengadu tentang piawai berganda dalam menguatkuasakan undang-undang secara sama rata. Farage menulis di X "Ahli Parlimen Establishment boleh menghina saya sesuka hati, tetapi rakyat Britain marah kerana kita hidup dalam sistem polis dan kehakiman dua peringkat."Bulan lepas, kerajaan mengeluarkan peringatan langsung tentang undang-undang tersebut dan memberi amaran kepada warganya untuk berhati-hati dalam memuat naik kandungan yang dianggap menyinggung dan mengancam dengan hukuman penjara. Perkhidmatan Pendakwaan Mahkota menyiarkan amaran kepada platform media sosial X, yang diperkuat oleh akaun media sosial rasmi kerajaan, memberi amaran kepada warganegara, "Fikirkan sebelum anda memuat naik!""Kandungan yang menghasut keganasan atau kebencian bukan sahaja berbahaya - ia boleh menjadi haram," tulis agensi tersebut. "CPS mengambil serius keganasan dalam talian dan akan mendakwa apabila ujian undang-undang dipenuhi. Ingatkan mereka yang rapat dengan anda untuk berkongsi dengan bertanggungjawab atau hadapi akibatnya." Siaran itu menambah: "Kerajaan Britain sedang mengambil tindakan keras terhadap orang ramai yang berkongsi catatan media sosial tentang rusuhan U.K. yang dianggapnya 'berkemungkinan untuk memulakan kebencian kaum.'"Pada masa yang sama, kerajaan mula bekerja untuk langkah-langkah yang memaksa syarikat media sosial untuk menyekat "berita palsu" yang dianggap dan kandungan undang-undang yang dianggap berbahaya, untuk mengelakkan daripada memicu kekecohan sosial. Langkah-langkah baru itu akan memperluas skop Akta Keselamatan Dalam Talian Britain dengan menyasarkan dan menjadikan syarikat media sosial bertanggungjawab atas kandungan "undang-undang tetapi berbahaya."Datuk Bandar London Sadiq Khan menggalakkan kerajaan Stammer untuk segera melaksanakan perubahan kepada undang-undang keselamatan dalam talian, dengan berkata bahawa pada masa ini, "ia tidak sesuai untuk tujuannya.""Saya fikir kerajaan dengan cepat menyedari bahawa perlu ada pindaan kepada Akta Keselamatan Dalam Talian," kata Khan dalam temu bual dengan . "Saya fikir apa yang kerajaan harus lakukan dengan cepat ialah memeriksa sama ada ia sesuai untuk tujuannya. Saya fikir ia tidak sesuai untuk tujuannya."Tetapi kebimbangan mengenai di U.K. meluas melebihi dalam talian, dengan piawai berganda diterapkan kepada pandangan dan protes politik yang berbeza.Hujung minggu lalu, dua penunjuk perasaan balas pro-Israel, Mark Birbeck dan Niyak Ghorbani, yang membawa tanda "Hamas adalah pengganas," telah ditangkap semasa perarakan pro-Hamas di London atas syak wasangka melanggar keamanan. Kehadiran penunjuk perasaan balas kononnya menyebabkan perarakan itu dihentikan, dan mereka ditangkap selepas bergelut dengan pegawai polis.Ghorbani ialah seorang pembangkang Iran anti-Hamas yang terkenal yang cuba disekat oleh Polis Metropolitan London daripada menghadiri protes anti-Israel pada masa hadapan sebagai sebahagian daripada syarat jaminannya selepas dia ditangkap kerana menentang protes tersebut. Mahkamah menegur pasukan tersebut dan memutuskan pada bulan April bahawa syarat jaminan sedemikian tidak seimbang dan tidak perlu. Gelaran 'Two-tier Kier' ialah bagaimana sesetengah orang di media sosial telah bertindak balas terhadap dasar perdana menteri baharu."Di satu pihak, kita melihat kumpulan seperti penunjuk perasaan alam sekitar, seperti aktivis Stop Oil, atau pro-Palestin, dan juga dalam beberapa kes, penunjuk perasaan pro-Hamas diberi ruang yang luas untuk menyatakan kepercayaan mereka, kadangkala menggunakan bahasa yang sangat ganas," kata Lois. "Namun, apabila kita mempertimbangkan jenis protes yang berbeza, contohnya, orang Kristian yang keluar untuk berdoa di dekat tempat ibadat, mereka sering menghadapi sekatan yang lebih ketat."Sebagai contoh, yang kadang-kadang terlibat dalam penginjilan jalanan, dipaksa untuk menyaman polis tempatan selepas pasukan itu melarangnya daripada "mengucapkan komen tentang agama lain atau membandingkannya dengan Kristian" dan "mengucapkan komen tentang kepercayaan yang dipegang oleh Ateis atau mereka yang percaya kepada evolusi." Moodley menang di mahkamah awal tahun ini, dan polis mengakui bahawa sekatan kebebasan bersuara yang dikenakan ke atas Moodley adalah "tidak seimbang."Adam Smith-Connor, seorang veteran tentera Kristian, sementara itu, dijadualkan untuk muncul di mahkamah minggu depan selepas didenda dan dituduh secara jenayah kerana berdoa secara senyap di dekat kemudahan pengguguran. Pihak berkuasa tempatan mendakwa bahawa doa senyap Smith-Connor melanggar apa yang dikenali sebagai "zon penampan," kawasan yang ditetapkan di mana individu dibenarkan untuk menyatakan kelulusan atau ketidaksetujuan terhadap pengguguran."Doa senyap bukan, dan tidak akan pernah, menjadi jenayah. Namun, pendakwaan terhadap r – yang berkhidmat di Afghanistan untuk menegakkan kebebasan asas bagi semua orang – menunjukkan langkah otoritarian ke arah 'polis pemikiran' di U.K. Ini bukan tahun 1984, tetapi tahun 2024. Namun, ketegasan negara untuk menghancurkan kepercayaan Kristian yang senyap – sambil melindungi ekspresi bebas orang lain dengan pandangan yang berbeza – jelas terdedah," kata McLatchie Miller.Namun, terdapat tentangan yang semakin meningkat terhadap pendirian kerajaan yang menentang kebebasan bersuara, khususnya keputusan untuk menangguhkan pelaksanaan dan mungkin membatalkan sepenuhnya undang-undang kebebasan bersuara dalam pendidikan tinggi atas kebimbangan keselamatan.Lebih daripada 600 ahli akademik dan intelektual, termasuk tujuh pemenang Hadiah Nobel, menandatangani surat menggesa kerajaan untuk mempertimbangkan semula keputusan untuk menangguhkan undang-undang itu, . Undang-undang itu ialah dasar utama yang diluluskan oleh kerajaan Konservatif sebelumnya untuk melindungi hak kebebasan bersuara pelajar dan ahli akademik di kampus."Keputusan untuk menghentikan [akta] nampaknya mencerminkan pandangan, yang meluas di kalangan lawan, bahawa tidak ada 'masalah kebebasan bersuara' di universiti U.K. Tidak ada yang lebih salah. Ratusan ahli akademik dan pelajar telah diburu, dihukum, dibungkam atau malah dipecat dalam 20 tahun terakhir kerana menyatakan pendapat yang sah," surat itu berbunyi.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

3 Warganegara Amerika di Kongo Dihukum Mati Selepas Percubaan Rampasan Kuasa Berita

3 Warganegara Amerika di Kongo Dihukum Mati Selepas Percubaan Rampasan Kuasa

September 14, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Tiga warganegara Amerika telah selepas didapati bersalah atas tuduhan menyertai cubaan rampasan kuasa, dengan seorang daripada mereka memberitahu mahkamah bahawa bapanya - yang memimpin usaha yang gagal itu - "telah mengancam untuk membunuh kami jika kami tidak mengikut arahannya." Seorang peguam yang mewakili Marcel Malanga dan Tyler Thompson Jr. yang berusia 21 tahun dan Benjamin Reuben Zalman-Polun yang berusia 36 tahun, kini merancang untuk merayu keputusan itu berikutan serangan yang gagal yang dirancang oleh bapa Malanga, Christian Malanga, pada bulan Mei yang menyasarkan istana presiden dan sekutu rapat Presiden Felix Tshisekedi. "Kami telah melihat bahawa mahkamah tentera di Republik Demokratik Congo telah menjatuhkan hukuman mati kepada beberapa tertuduh, termasuk warganegara Amerika Syarikat, atas dakwaan terlibat dalam serangan 19 Mei terhadap kerajaan," kata jurucakap Matthew Miller pada hari Jumaat. "Kami faham bahawa proses undang-undang di DRC membenarkan tertuduh untuk merayu keputusan mahkamah. Kakitangan Kedutaan telah menghadiri prosiding ini ... Kami akan terus menghadiri prosiding dan mengikuti perkembangannya dengan teliti." Ketika ditanya sama ada dia berpendapat proses mahkamah itu adil, Miller menjawab, "Saya tidak mahu menilai prosiding setakat ini, kerana kita masih berada di tengah-tengah proses undang-undang." Enam orang terbunuh semasa cubaan rampasan kuasa yang gagal itu, termasuk Christian Malanga, yang ditembak mati ketika melawan penangkapan tidak lama selepas menyiarkan serangan itu secara langsung di media sosialnya, kata tentera Congo. Marcel Malanga, yang merupakan warganegara Amerika Syarikat, memberitahu mahkamah semasa kes itu bahawa bapanya telah memaksanya dan rakan sekolah menengahnya untuk mengambil bahagian dalam serangan itu, menurut The Associated Press. "Ayah telah mengancam untuk membunuh kami jika kami tidak mengikut arahannya," kata Marcel Malanga. Ahli-ahli lain dari menceritakan ancaman serupa dari Malanga yang lebih tua, dan ada yang menggambarkan dirinya tertipu untuk mempercayai bahawa mereka bekerja untuk organisasi sukarelawan, tambah AP. Ibu Marcel, Brittney Sawyer, menegaskan bahawa anaknya tidak bersalah dan hanya mengikut bapanya, yang menganggap dirinya sebagai presiden kerajaan bayangan dalam buangan. Thompson Jr. terbang ke Afrika dari Utah bersama Malanga yang lebih muda untuk apa yang keluarga percaya adalah percutian percuma, dan Zalman-Polun dilaporkan telah mengenali Christian Malanga melalui syarikat perlombongan emas. Keluarga Thompson mengatakan dia tidak tahu mengenai niat Malanga yang lebih tua, tidak ada rancangan untuk aktivisme politik dan tidak merancang untuk memasuki Congo. Dia dan Malangas sepatutnya hanya melancong ke Afrika Selatan dan Eswatini, kata ibu tirinya, Miranda Thompson, kepada AP. "Kami menggesa semua yang telah menyokong Tyler dan keluarga sepanjang proses ini untuk menulis kepada ahli kongres anda dan meminta bantuan mereka untuk membawa dia pulang," kata peguam mereka di Utah, Skye Lazaro, kepada agensi berita itu, sambil menambah bahawa keluarga itu bersedih hati dengan keputusan itu. Sen. Mike Lee dan jurucakap untuk Sen. Mitt Romney mengatakan mereka berdua terlibat dengan Jabatan Negara mengenai perkara itu. Selain ketiga-tiga rakyat Amerika, seorang warga Britain, seorang warga Belgium dan seorang warga Kanada telah dijatuhi hukuman mati selepas didapati bersalah menyertai plot itu, bersama-sama dengan 27 yang lain.

Putin Amaran AS, NATO Berisiko Perangi Rusia Jika Larangan Serangan Jarak Jauh Untuk Ukraine Dicabut

September 14, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin minggu ini mengeluarkan amaran menakutkan terhadap Amerika Syarikat dan sekutunya NATO dan berkata mereka berisiko "berperang" dengan Moscow jika mereka membenarkan Ukraine untuk menggunakan senjata jarak jauh yang dibekalkan Barat untuk menyerang sasaran di dalam Rusia.Presiden Ukraine Voldymyr Zelenskyy telah meminta selama berbulan-bulan untuk menghapuskan sebarang dan semua sekatan yang mereka ada terhadap penggunaan senjata jarak jauh yang dibekalkan Barat oleh Kyiv dan membenarkannya menyerang sasaran ketenteraan jauh di dalam Rusia. Tetapi Putin pada hari Khamis menarik garis merah dan berkata, "Ini bermakna negara-negara NATO, Amerika Syarikat dan negara-negara Eropah berada dalam peperangan dengan Rusia." "Dan jika demikian, maka, memandangkan perubahan dalam inti pati konflik ini, kita akan membuat keputusan yang sesuai berdasarkan ancaman yang akan dicipta untuk kita," tambahnya, menurut . Komen itu dikeluarkan sehari sebelum perbincangan di Rumah Putih di mana Presiden Biden akan bertemu dengan Perdana Menteri Britain Keir Starmer untuk membincangkan penghapusan sekatan serangan semasa pada hari Jumaat.Putin tidak menyatakan tindakan apa yang akan diambil oleh Rusia terhadap Barat jika Washington dan London mengangkat sekatan serangan mereka, tetapi ketua Kremlin telah menekankan dalam strategi perangnya untuk menghalang bantuan Barat kepada Ukraine. Sejak serangan perang itu, Putin telah memberi amaran kepada NATO untuk tidak membekalkan Kyiv dengan bantuan yang mematikan, dan pada hampir setiap langkahnya dia telah memberi amaran bahawa perang itu boleh merebak melebihi sempadan Ukraine - strategi yang dikatakan oleh seorang pakar telah mencapai kesan yang dimaksudkan ke atas Washington. "Perang Putin di Ukraine telah menjadi kegagalan besar-besaran - ratusan ribu kematian, kekurangan tenaga kerja, sejuta rakyat Rusia telah melarikan diri, Sweden dan Finland kini menjadi anggota NATO, senarai itu berterusan," kata bekas ketua stesen CIA Moscow Dan Hoffman kepada Digital. "Satu-satunya perkara yang dia berjaya adalah taktik nuklear retorik dan ancaman lain, cuba mendorong pentadbiran Biden untuk tidak memberikan Ukraine apa yang mereka perlukan, bila mereka perlukannya, untuk mempertahankan diri."Hoffman berkata kenyataan Putin mungkin ditujukan kepada Presiden Biden dan pentadbirannya, yang berulang kali lambat menghantar Ukraine seperti kereta kebal, F-16 dan peluru berpandu ATACMS jarak jauh sebelum kemudian membalikkan arah dan akhirnya bersetuju untuk menghantar persenjataan teratas."Dia membuat ancaman ini kerana dia tahu ia berkesan," hujah Hoffman. "Kita tidak sepatutnya menguruskan secara kecil-kecilan bagaimana [orang Ukraine] menjalankan perang mereka. "Berikan sahaja senjata kepada mereka. Mereka mempunyai hak yang sah untuk mempertahankan diri," tambahnya. Pegawai pertahanan di kedua-dua belah pihak telah berhujah bahawa ia adalah tanggungjawab Amerika Syarikat dan NATO untuk mempersenjatai Kyiv dalam perangnya melawan Rusia, kerana ramai percaya Putin tidak akan berhenti dengan cita-citanya yang mematikan di Eropah jika dia mendapat kemenangan di Ukraine. Masih belum dapat dipastikan sama ada Putin benar-benar akan meningkatkan perang melebihi sempadan Rusia dan Ukraine, sekiranya Biden dan Starmer bersetuju pada hari Jumaat untuk mengangkat sekatan serangan. Pegawai Rusia telah menarik "garis merah" sejak 2022, bersama-sama dengan mengeluarkan amaran bahawa Amerika Syarikat akan menjadi "pihak kepada konflik" dengan menyediakan Ukraine dengan bantuan pertahanan. Starmer menjawab ancaman jelas Putin semasa berada di dalam pesawatnya ke D.C. pada hari Khamis dan memberitahu sebuah , "Rusia memulakan konflik ini. Rusia secara haram menyerang Ukraine. Rusia boleh menamatkan konflik ini dengan serta-merta. Ukraine mempunyai hak untuk mempertahankan diri."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
