Photo GAZETA.PL. The Russian Federation has announced the deployment of missiles in the region dell'Abkhazija, torn to Georgia after the war of 2008. This, despite the terms of the peace agreement signed with Tbilisi. And the sad coincide with the anniversary of the sinking of the Kursk.
A forgotten tragedy and completely hushed up. Ten years ago, in fact, August 12, 2000, in the Barents Sea there was an explosion aboard the Kursk nuclear submarine of the Russian navy. 118 the dead soldiers, mostly young. Of these people, committed to serving their country, all seem to have forgotten. Not only does the Western press, which, a parte qualche rara eccezione, ha lesinato la notizia, preferendo glorificare le gesta di un primo ministro impegnato nella guida di un velivolo per spegnere gli incendi, e diradare una nube - forse tossica - che attanaglia Mosca e dintorni a seguito di un'ondata di caldo eccezionale. Anche lo stesso governo russo si è dimenticato di loro. Sull'incidente, verità non è ancora stata trovata. Né, sembra, lo sarà nei prossimi tempi.
Ufficialmente, il Kursk si sarebbe allagato a seguito di un'esplosione avvenuta a bordo durante le esercitazioni. A certificarlo, sono bastate le parole, alla stampa americana, dell'allora presidente, Vladimir Putin, oggi primo ministro: "il Kursk è affondato". Tuttavia, nella Russian Federation, and not just continue discussions on the real reasons for the disaster. Not everyone, in fact, believe in the explosion accident. Unconfirmed reports have aired a possible collision with another submarine, probably U.S. flagged, perhaps, in a sort of star wars under the sea. Stuff of science fiction, or so, however, shows how the issue is still an open wound in the Russian society.
The fact is that, as pointed out on Radio Liberty, Captain First Rank of the Russian Navy, Igor Kudrin, however, skeptical on the assumption of the collision, Moscow refused the help afforded it by the navy of the United Kingdom, ready to intervene as not far from the scene of the tragedy with a unit. A rescue, he said, could save the lives of 118 soldiers.
But not only justice and historical truth. Perhaps through mistake, or the irony of history, on the eve of the anniversary of the Russian military authorities have stated in a triumphant tones, the deployment of a missile battery in Abkhazia: region, along with South Ossetia, removed from Georgia following the war Lightning summer of 2008, and made an independent state to strengthen Moscow's dominance over the area.
The presence of anti-aircraft battery of interceptors C-300, immediately sparked protests from Tbilisi. The vice premier with responsibility for the reintegration of the country, Temur Jakovashvili, showed that the Kremlin's move contrasts with almost all the clauses of the peace accords closely with the mediation of NATO and European Union, represented by the then president, Nicholas Sarkozy, the French. In particular, Moscow has systematically violated the obligation to stop any act of war, to withdraw its army from the theaters of war, and there allow the return of the Georgian, to allow access, and free passage of convoys to humanitarian aid. And, finally, to address the issue of independence of both regions, torn by force from Tbilisi, at the international level.
"There is no doubt - said the Georgian state news agency - that the presence Russians in Abkhazia interceptors contrasts vividly with the points of the ceasefire of 12 August 2008, reached under the mediation of Sarkozy. The C-300 causes an imbalance of military forces in a warm and unstable. Although this is not talked about, continue aggressive attitudes of various kinds by the Russian army. Like, for example, pressing the control on the population, illegal and unjustified arrests, demolition of structures, and abatement of Georgian national monuments. In the border region, humanitarian means can not move, and is in additional jobs in the area, by sending an increasing number of soldiers. All this testifies to the Russian Federation only in words presents itself as willing to comply with the agreements. But, in fact, threatens our sovereignty. "
are interesting interpretations of military experts of a third country, Ukraine. Interesting ideas, and useful to understand the question. According to the former Chief of the forces Armed Ukrainian Anatoly Lopata, in office during the crisis in Georgia, the Russians in Abkhazia interceptors are a clear response to U.S. missile shield project, which, according to the new conception of the Obama administration, should be located between Poland, Romania, and perhaps , Turkey.
Unlike the opinion of the head of the parliamentary defense and security of Kyiv, Anatole Hrycenko, which has been boiling Moscow's decision as information warfare, as, according to his thought, the antiaircraft battery is already present in the area for some time. To be sure, already after the attack on Georgia.
"I have already informed my fellow Americans - said the leader of the movement" Hromadjans'ka Inicjatyva ", already a candidate in the recent Ukrainian presidential - about the true nature of the issue. Those missiles are there for some time, at least the end of hostilities . The news of their installation is pure propaganda. In addition, you should know that they have no defensive purpose. The fact that they are directed against Georgia is a certainty. "
Security or not, the sad remains of the anniversary the tragedy of the Kursk. The two facts, of course, have no connection. But to make the announcement to coincide with a disaster that involved the military sphere, which, however, has not yet been made light, is a distraction to be avoided. Especially in a country where the dates have high symbolic value.
Lawful Finally, remember that Abkhazia with South Ossetia, a Georgian region that has proclaimed its independence at the end of armed conflict between Russia and Georgia, which lasted for five days in August 2008. To recognize such a decision unit, in addition to the Russian Federation, two other countries in the champions of democracy and respect of human rights in the world: Venezuela and Nicaragua. For them, in 2009, joined the atoll of Nauru.
