欧盟转向俄罗斯能源 – Welt

(SeaPRwire) -   只有挪威在欧盟天然气供应商中排名更高,而两者都领先于美国,一个顶级智库估计。 俄罗斯已超过美国,再次成为欧盟第二大天然气供应商;德国《世界报》周日援引分析报道称,这一发展的象征意义“巨大”。 2022 年 2 月乌克兰冲突爆发后,布鲁塞尔宣布消除对俄罗斯能源的依赖是其首要任务之一。昂贵的美国液化天然气 (LNG) 填补了市场的大部分份额,加剧了整个欧盟的经济危机。 《世界报》援引布鲁塞尔智库 Bruegel 的数据称,2024 年第二季度,俄罗斯天然气约占欧洲进口天然气的 17%,略高于美国供应量。根据其数据,欧洲客户在该期间内接收了 122.7 亿立方米的美国 LNG,而俄罗斯向欧盟交付了 127.3 亿立方米。 俄罗斯供应包括 LNG 和管道天然气,管道天然气通过白俄罗斯和乌克兰以及土耳其溪海底天然气管道流向欧盟。基辅从其领土运输的燃料中获得过境费,并在当前合同于 2024 年底到期后威胁要暂停运营。然而,它表示愿意开放给第三国,如阿塞拜疆,增加其对苏联建造的基础设施的使用。 俄罗斯外交部经济合作司司长德米特里·比里切夫斯基将天然气进口动态描述为欧盟制裁政策失败的证明。 “虽然指标确实远低于 2022 年之前的水平,但事实说明了一切,”他在周一告诉俄罗斯卫星通讯社。“仅希腊就将 2023 年的俄罗斯天然气采购量增加了四倍。” 美国在乌克兰冲突爆发之前就试图取代俄罗斯成为欧洲的能源供应商。唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府臭名昭著地将美国 LNG 称为“自由的分子”,当时它向欧盟国家施压,要求它们选择美国 LNG 而不是俄罗斯天然气。挪威历来是该市场最大的天然气供应商。 莫斯科现在认为欧盟是一个不可靠的客户,它已经证明愿意让美国的政治目标凌驾于欧洲的经济需求之上。 “在实际上宣布对我们进行经济战争的情况下,我们将外贸转向全球南方和东方国家仍然是我们的优先事项,”比里切夫斯基说。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

乌克兰 F-16 战机坠毁“可能”并非友军误伤 – NYT

(SeaPRwire) -   两名美国高级军事官员和其他消息人士现在坚持认为“现在下结论还为时过早”。 乌克兰上周损失了第一架西方提供的F-16战斗机,但尚未公布事故的官方原因,引发了猜测,称这架美国制造的飞机可能是被美国制造的爱国者防空系统友军火力击落的。 这架飞机于上周一坠毁,乌克兰最优秀的飞行员之一阿列克谢·“月鱼”·梅斯遇难。基辅直到周四才承认损失,仅表示正在对此事件进行调查。乌克兰议员玛丽安娜·贝祖格拉娅声称,梅斯是被乌克兰接受的西方捐赠的爱国者导弹击落的。事件发生后,乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基未作解释地解除了其空军司令的职务。 据称,一位不愿透露姓名的西方官员向《纽约时报》证实,初步调查显示,这架飞机可能是被爱国者防空系统友军火力击落的。 然而,在周六的逆转中,“两名美国高级军事官员”告诉该报,F-16坠毁事件“很可能不是友军火力造成的”。消息人士补充说,美国和乌克兰调查人员正在探索其他可能性,例如机械故障或飞行员失误。 当周四被问及“这架F-16有没有可能被乌克兰的爱国者导弹击落的可能性”时,五角大楼副新闻秘书萨布丽娜·辛格回答说,“美国尚未被要求参与对此事件的任何调查。” 《纽约时报》还援引了不愿透露姓名的乌克兰军事分析人士的话,他们声称,西方防空系统和F-16已在如此“复杂条件”下一起测试,但指出现在“下结论还为时过早”。 上周一,俄罗斯对乌克兰的国防工业综合体至关重要的能源设施以及储存西方提供弹药的几个机场进行了“大规模高精度攻击”,使用远程空基和海基武器和无人机。 基辅的官方声明表明,梅斯在一次防空任务中丧生,他在该任务中击落了三枚俄罗斯巡航导弹和一架攻击无人机。乌克兰空军表示,当时除了爱国者系统外,基辅还部署了其他多种防空系统,包括配备“毒刺”导弹和英国“星光”导弹的机动小组。 本月早些时候,少量美国制造的飞机被交付给乌克兰。美国尚未承诺向乌克兰提供任何自己的F-16,但已允许北约其他成员国提供。一个由欧洲国家组成的“联盟”承诺向基辅提供80多架飞机,但迄今为止只交付了不到12架。 华盛顿还希望其在欧洲的北约盟友承担为美国设计的飞机提供服务的责任,因为据《华尔街日报》报道,美国总统乔·拜登政府拒绝了五角大楼派遣美国承包商前往乌克兰的计划,担心他们可能成为俄罗斯军队的目标。 一家俄罗斯公司提供了一份1500万卢布(17万美元)的奖金,奖励击落第一架F-16的人。到目前为止,还没有人站出来领取这笔奖金。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Terrific Texas fight back from TOYOTA GAZOO Racing

Toyota City, Japan, Sept 2, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing suffered an agonising near-miss in the Lone Star Le Mans when a harsh penalty denied it victory in round six of the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.Terrific Texas fight back from TOYOTA GAZOO RacingThe team bounced back from a difficult qualifying by maximising the performance of its GR010 HYBRIDs and implementing a smart tyre strategy – combined with flat-out driving, fast pit stops and a united team effort – to fight for victory.Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries fought through the field with a perfect performance and looked set to win. However, a late penalty for a yellow flag incident changed race result and left the #7 GR010 HYBRID crew second.World Champions Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa had been set for a top-six finish in the #8 GR010 HYBRID after a similarly strong performance but suffered an incident in the fifth hour and they finished 15th.Despite the frustration, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing nevertheless moves into the lead of the manufacturers’ World Championship heading into its home race, the 6 Hours of Fuji, on 15 September, with an 11-point advantage over Porsche.The team was able to fight at the front thanks to an attacking strategy which took the fight to competitors who had shown quicker pace earlier in the week.Mike started ninth in the #7 and survived contact on the opening lap to move up the field, including a spectacular overtake on lap eight when he passed two cars in one manoeuvre to take sixth place. Meanwhile, Brendon started from 12th in the #8 and ran there throughout the opening stint.Mike’s pace moved him into the podium fight and he was sixth, just a few seconds away from third, heading into the first pit stops at the one-hour mark. Nyck and Sébastien resumed the challenge and continued to push hard to improve their positions.The hot conditions took their toll on some Hypercar rivals and, when Mike returned to the wheel early in the third hour, the #7 was in second thanks to a storming stint from Nyck, with Ryo now eighth. As half distance approached, Mike increased the pace, setting a new fastest lap as he closed on the leading #83 Ferrari.At half distance, further driver changes saw Nyck and Brendon resume, in second and seventh respectively. Nyck closed to the rear of the leader midway through the fourth hour while Brendon was pushing the #6 Porsche, and he made a brave move to take sixth.An aggressive strategy call brought the #7 into the pits slightly early at the end of the fourth hour, giving Kamui clear air and a chance to take the lead. That paid off when the #83 emerged from its own pit stop a lap later, two seconds behind Kamui.After another driver change, Sébastien was defending sixth place on his out lap when he made contact with the #6 Porsche, causing a puncture and earning a 30-second stop-go penalty. The car’s chances were further hampered by another penalty for not respecting blue flags and Sébastien resumed in 15th.After a final pit stop, Kamui was comfortably clear at the front until, with 40 minutes remaining, a race-deciding drive-through penalty – when stewards judged he did not respond appropriately to a yellow flag –dropped him to second, nine seconds behind the #83 Ferrari.Kamui pushed hard to recover the time lost, not helped by a full course yellow, but fell just short and he crossed the line in second, just 1.780secs behind the winning #83 Ferrari. Meanwhile, Ryo brought the #8 home in 15th in front of more than 65,000 fans.Kamui Kobayashi (Team Principal and driver, car #7):“The team did a perfect job and made a big effort. We did everything that we could in terms of driving, strategy and pit stops which put us in a position to win. But the penalty was unfortunate and a big surprise for me to be honest. To get a drive-through penalty for that is a bit of a surprise, but that’s how it is. The race was quite fun, and I enjoyed racing back here in Austin; it’s a great track. Now I am looking forward to continuing the very close battle this season at our home race.”Mike Conway (Driver, car #7):“Coming into the race we didn’t feel like we had a chance of winning but as the race evolved we had strong pace; every stint we seemed to be gaining with good tyre wear and consistency. We ended up in a fight and we thought we were going to win, but unfortunately the penalty killed our chance, although Kamui fought all the way to the end. It was a great job by everyone, from the engineers, the pit crew and my team-mates. The result is better than expected and we scored good points for the championship so we will keep pushing and go to Fuji hoping for a positive result.”Nyck de Vries (Driver, car #7):“I would like to thank the team for their amazing job throughout the weekend, especially in the race. They nailed all the calls, all the pit stops and executed a faultless race. I think we all did a great job, but unfortunately the drive-through took away our win. We still need to investigate it because it’s not fully clear yet. Nevertheless, it is a strong result for the team and the World Championship, it’s just bitter-sweet to miss out on the win when it was in the pocket.”Sébastien Buemi (Driver, car #8):“I would like to apologise to the team for the contact I had with the Porsche. It was my fault and I’m sorry for that because obviously that effectively ended our race. Up until then the team had done a fantastic job to help us recover from starting down in 12th, so it feels really difficult to let the team down. I hope we can have a better race in Fuji. Congratulations to car #7 for a great performance, it’s just a pity they got this penalty at the end.”Brendon Hartley (Driver, car #8):“It was a tough day. We started towards the back, but we were coming through the field until Séb made a little mistake, which can happen. The team put in a really impressive performance in a hard situation and I’m really proud of everyone for their work. Car #7 drove an amazing race; the strategy, pit stops, everything was top notch today. They would have won without the penalty. Unfortunately, it didn’t go our way on car #8 but we will fight back at our home race in Fuji.”Ryo Hirakawa (Driver, car #8):“That was a difficult race and it’s a pity because we had shown strong pace to come back through the field and fight in the top six, but the accident was unfortunate. It was the same frustration for car #7; they drove really well and could have won the race. That’s part of racing and we have to move on. The next one is our home race so we need to refocus for Fuji when hopefully we can achieve a one-two. It would be nice to do that in front of our home fans.”Lone Star Le Mans – Result1st #83 AF Corse (Kubica/Shwartzman/Ye) 183 laps2nd #7 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing +1.780secs3rd #50 Ferrari AF Corse (Fuoco/Molina/Nielsen) +26.282secs4th #2 Cadillac Racing (Bamber/Lynn) +46.924secs5th #35 Alpine Endurance Team (Chatin/Habsburg/Milesi) +1min 10.513secs6th #6 Porsche Penske (Estre/Lotterer/Vanthoor) +1min 36.873secs15th #8 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing +2 laps Copyright 2024 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

DR.NOAH BIOTECH’s AI-driven ALS Medicine Receives U.S. FDA Approval for Phase 1 Clinical Trial IND

Seoul, Korea – September 02, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – DR.NOAH BIOTECH (hereafter DR.NOAH), an AI-driven innovative drug development company, announced on August 23 that it had received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for Phase 1 clinical trial of a new drug combination (NDC-011) for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). This Phase 1 clinical trial is planned to be conducted at a specialized clinical trial institution in the U.S., involving 24 healthy adult participants. The study is designed to compare and evaluate the bioavailability, safety, and tolerability of single doses of the individual drugs composing NDC-011, which is a two-drug combination, and NDC-011 itself. The Phase 1 trial is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2025, while Phase 2 is expected to start in 2026. NDC-011 is a combination drug discovered through DR.NOAH’s proprietary AI drug development platform, “ARK.” It is designed to have multiple mechanisms of action in ALS patients, including effects of anti-inflammation, neuroprotection, neuronal differentiation promotion, and muscle cell protection. DR.NOAH used ARK to analyze ALS patient data and over 1.6 million drug combinations to predict candidate drugs. NDC-011 was selected as the final candidate after showing the most significant results in preclinical trials. The efficacy of NDC-011 was confirmed by ALS preclinical study for delayed motor function deterioration and prolonged survival. These study results were published in the October 2023 issue of “Neurotherapeutics,” an international journal of the American Society for Experimental Neurotherapeutics. In September 2023, it received an orphan drug designation (ODD) from the FDA. NDC-011 was aimed at global market expansion from the early stages of development. For this purpose, formulation/preparation development, production, and quality control of the fixed-dose combination (FDC) in tablet form were carried out at the cGMP facility of Patheon, a top-class global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), in the U.S. “Although there are currently approved medicines for ALS, their therapeutic effects fall short of expectations, making the development of new treatments an urgent necessity,” a DR.NOAH’s representative stated. “NDC-011 is expected to alleviate the progression and symptoms of ALS and prolong patient survival.” The representative also added, “Our company is not just an AI technology service provider, but a drug development company capable of handling on our own the entire new drug development process from discovery to clinical development.” DR.NOAH BIOTECH is an AI-driven, innovative drug development company that develops medicines for neurological and muscular diseases. Starting with the launch of the AI drug development platform “ARK” in 2017, the company began its own drug development. The ARK platform consists of NOTE databases containing patient genomic data, drug genomic data, drug 3D structural data, medical big data, and neural/muscle cell imaging data, as well as various AI systems (CombiNet, SF-Rx, VLab, NeuroRG) that analyze these data. ARK’s core technology is the accurate prediction of multiple pathological networks critical to diseases and the discovery of optimal drug combinations to modulate them. DR.NOAH is currently developing eight different combination drug pipelines. Among them, NDC-002 for stroke recovery successfully completed Phase 1 clinical trials in Korea in 2023. This is significant since it is the first time an AI company in Korea has conducted Phase 1 clinical trials for an AI-developed drug in Korea. DR.NOAH is particularly focused on developing medicines for rare diseases. In addition to NDC-011 for ALS treatment, which has just received Phase 1 clinical trial approval, NDC-026 is also under development for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) treatment. NDC-026 received a rare pediatric disease designation (RPDD) and an orphan drug designation (ODD) from the FDA in April. The goal is to submit an IND application in 2025. The initiation of clinical trials for NDC-011 is expected to be the first case of clinical trials for an AI-discovered combination drug for ALS treatment. “Starting with this NDC-011 clinical trial, we will continue to develop medicines for rare diseases,” Dr.Ji-hyun Lee, CEO of DR.NOAH, stated. “We will do our best to ensure that our fast and efficient AI-driven combination drug development strategy will bring hope to rare disease patients worldwide.” Media contact Brand: DR.NOAH BIOTECH Inc.

右翼政党在德国州议会选举中取得历史性胜利

(SeaPRwire) -   德国选择党(AfD)在图林根州赢得近33%的选票,初步结果显示。 德国选择党(AfD)似乎赢得了自2013年该右翼政党成立以来的第一个州级选举。 根据官方初步结果,AfD在周日举行的德国东部图林根州立法选举中获得了32.8%的选票。 保守的基督教民主联盟(CDU)预计将获得第二名,获得23.6%的选票。 根据出口民调,这两个政党在邻近的萨克森州也势均力敌,CDU和AfD分别获得了32%和31.5%的选票。 德国执政的“交通灯”联盟——总理奥拉夫·舒尔茨的社会民主党(SPD)、自由民主党(FDP)和绿党——都没有能够进入这两个州的前三名。 图林根州和萨克森州的第三名是萨赫拉·瓦根克内希特(BSW)新成立的左翼政党。尽管站在政治光谱的相反两端,BSW和AfD都呼吁加强移民控制,并结束柏林对乌克兰与俄罗斯冲突的支持。 AfD的联合领导人艾丽丝·魏德尔表示,该党在图林根州和萨克森州的选举中取得了“历史性的成功”,这两个州分别有约170万和330万合格选民。在接受德国广播公司ARD采访时,她将预计的结果描述为舒尔茨联盟的“挽歌”,并敦促在德国举行大选。 该右翼政党的另一位联合领导人蒂诺·克鲁帕拉说,这两个州的人民已经明确表示,“应该改变政治。”克鲁帕拉强调,AfD“随时准备并愿意与所有政党对话。” 然而,AfD不太可能能够在任何一个州组建地区政府,因为他们的政治对手拒绝与他们合作。 “一个公开的右翼极端主义政党首次成为州议会中最强大的力量,这引起了许多人的极度担忧和恐惧,”绿党的联合领导人奥米德·努里普尔坚持说。 基民盟的全国总书记卡斯滕·林内曼说,“这两个州的选民都知道我们不会与AfD结成联盟,情况将保持不变。”魏德尔将基督教民主党的这种立场描述为“纯粹的无知。” 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

马斯克:美国正“快速驶向”破产

(SeaPRwire) -   特斯拉和 SpaceX 首席执行官埃隆·马斯克认为,政府过度支出是美国通货膨胀的罪魁祸首。 特斯拉和 SpaceX 首席执行官埃隆·马斯克警告称,由于华盛顿政府的支出过高,美国正迅速走向破产。 周四,马斯克在其 X(前身为推特)平台上分享了另一位用户的帖子,该用户引用了美国政府预算中对 2025 财年的预测,该预测称,到 2035 年,预算赤字可能从目前的 18 亿美元增加到近 163 亿美元。 “以目前的政府支出速度,美国正在快速走向破产,” 马斯克写道。 这位科技大亨还暗示,“政府过度支出是导致该国通货膨胀的原因。” 据劳工部两周前发布的一份报告,美国 7 月份的年度通货膨胀率降至 3% 以下,为 2021 年以来的首次。商品和服务的价格上涨了 2.9%,而剔除食品和能源行业的核心通货膨胀率在过去 12 个月中上涨了 3.2%。 7 月下旬,美国财政部宣布,该国的国家债务首次超过 35 万亿美元,自 1 月以来增加了 1 万亿美元。 国会预算办公室 (CBO) 预测,到 2034 年,债务将超过 50 万亿美元,相当于美国 GDP 的 122% 以上。CBO 还表示,预计该国从 2029 年到 2034 年的平均年度 GDP 增长率约为 1.8%。 6 月,负责任联邦预算委员会 (CRFB) 智库声称,在现任美国总统乔·拜登的领导下,国家债务增长了 43 亿美元,而唐纳德·特朗普任期内为 84 亿美元。 8 月,特朗普在 X 上接受了马斯克的长时间采访。在那之后不久,这位共和党总统候选人表示,如果他在 11 月的选举中获胜,他会考虑让这位他形容为“天才”的科技大亨担任其政府的职务。马斯克在帖子中回复了这一提议,强调他“愿意服务。” 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

The company’s business originally entailed buying copper coins (one-hundredth of a yen) and nickel coins (five-hundredths of a yen), and exchanging them, in lots of 100 yen, with merchants for a fee. It went on to engage in the bullion trading business, and began melting down foreign gold coins from Yokohama’s foreign quarter and other places, and then refining and selling the metal. The technologies developed at this time went on to play a significant role in later industrial use of precious metals.About Ichiro TanakaTanaka Shoten’s second president Ichiro Tanaka began negotiations around 1920 to directly import platinum from the Soviet Union, which accounted for approximately 70% of the world’s platinum production during that time. Three years later, in April 1923, the Soviet government signed a contract on sales rights with Tanaka Shoten. Through this contract, Tanaka Shoten became Japan’s sole sales agency for platinum and palladium and gained sales rights for the entirety of East Asia, which were the same terms as with the United States and the United Kingdom. Subsequently, Ichiro Tanaka strove for overseas collaboration in platinum group precious metals such as platinum and palladium.Inquiries Concerning the Research Grant ProgramPrecious Metals Research Grants OfficeGlobal Marketing / R&D Supervisory Department, TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K.2-6-6 Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 103-0025E-mail: joseikin@ml.tanaka.co.jpTANAKA Memorial Foundation website: https://tanaka-foundation.or.jpTANAKA Memorial FoundationEstablished: April 1, 2015          Address: 2-6-6 Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, TokyoRepresentative: Hideya OkamotoIncorporated: 2015Purpose of Business: To provide grants for research related to precious metals to contribute to the development and cultivation of new fields for precious metals, and to the development of science, technology, and the social economy.Areas of Business:- Provision of grants for scientific and technological research related to precious metals.- Recognition of excellent analysis of precious metals and holding of seminars and other events.TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K.Headquarters: 2-6-6 Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku, TokyoRepresentative: Koichiro Tanaka, Group CEOFounded: 1885Incorporated: 1918Capital: 500 million yenEmployees: 2,498 (December 31, 2023)Sales: 217,204,581,000 yen (FY2023)Main businesses: Manufacture, sales, import and export of precious metals (platinum, gold, silver, and others) and various types of industrial precious metals products.URL: https://tanaka-preciousmetals.comPress InquiriesTANAKA Holdings Co., Ltd.https://tanaka-preciousmetals.com/en/inquiries-for-media/Press Release: https://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/files/20240902.pdf  Copyright 2024 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

克里姆林宫:欧盟与俄罗斯的争端是“在美国的授意下”

(SeaPRwire) -   克里姆林宫警告称,俄罗斯反俄政策最终将让欧洲国家付出惨痛代价 克里姆林宫新闻秘书德米特里·佩斯科夫表示,欧盟将为奉华盛顿之命对抗俄罗斯付出高昂代价。 在周日俄罗斯1频道播出的记者帕维尔·扎鲁宾采访中,佩斯科夫被要求评论最近来自西方的升级言论,包括讨论允许乌克兰使用外国武器对俄罗斯境内进行深入打击,以及华盛顿和布鲁塞尔对基辅部队正在进行的入侵俄罗斯库尔斯克地区的口头支持。 佩斯科夫回顾了欧盟外交政策专员何塞普·博雷尔的声明,他于 8 月中旬表示,乌克兰在其库尔斯克进攻中获得了欧盟的“全力支持”。佩斯科夫在采访中说,博雷尔是一位外交官,但他“表现得像国防部长和鹰派”。 “欧洲国家在美国的领导下,正处于对抗狂喜之中。他们在整个事件中扮演着华盛顿分配给他们的角色,损害了他们自己的利益和纳税人的钱包,”发言人强调,指的是自 2022 年 2 月与莫斯科升级以来,欧盟向基辅提供的超过 1210 亿美元的财政和军事援助。 参与冲突将“对 [欧盟] 产生深远的影响。这是不可避免的,在未来十年,我们将见证这些负面后果,”他在俄罗斯1频道说。 但如果西方在乌克兰问题上与俄罗斯的对抗走得太远,“鉴于我们总统 [弗拉基米尔·普京] 的决心,鉴于我们国家的潜力,事实证明比我们预期的更大,正如经济发展速度和我们经济的军事动员所证明的那样,我相信,如果有必要,一切都会为了保护我们的利益,”佩斯科夫说。 他补充说,莫斯科在这种情况下的回应将“有效且符合我们的国家利益”,但没有透露任何进一步的细节。 乌克兰领导人弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基在基辅对库尔斯克地区的持续入侵期间,已恢复呼吁该国西方支持者允许对俄罗斯领土进行远程打击。然而,他尚未获得批准。 俄罗斯国防部周日表示,自 8 月 6 日乌克兰开始攻击国际公认的俄罗斯领土以来,乌克兰已损失 8500 多名士兵和数百件军事装备,包括 80 辆坦克和 69 辆装甲运兵车。“摧毁乌克兰军队编队的行动仍在继续”在库尔斯克地区,国防部强调。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
