Rosario Aitala, deputy president of the International Criminal Court, told Corriere della Sera that the sanctions announced by the United States were preventing judges from carrying out both public and private activities, and that for many of them, the effects were already in place. He reported that they were subjected to measures similar to those reserved for terrorists: revoked credit cards, closed bank accounts, and canceled insurance contracts, with some companies refusing to reimburse medical expenses. According to Aitala, many apps on their phones had stopped working and it was forbidden to book hotels or flights through platforms. As an example, he recounted that Alexa no longer responded to a colleague after he asked her to play blues music. Another European colleague, he added, had booked a room in his own country through a European platform and, after half an hour, received an email ordering him not to try again. #Giustizia #Sanzioni #DirittiUmani (translated)

Massimo Zampini argued that there was no conspiracy, but that particularly involved fans held institutional roles and were treated as such even by Rocchi. He added that no one thought Lautaro would score more than the players on his own team due to a plot behind the scenes, contrary to what, according to him, the interlocutors had thought after nine consecutive championships. #calcio #tifosi #scudetto (translated)

Alessandro Orsini stated that Europe depended on Russia for energy supplies and described as humiliating the announcement, attributed to Donald Trump, of an agreement with Vladimir Putin for the supply of over 300,000 tons of diesel, which would lower prices. Citing the Corriere della Sera, he reported that Europe was facing winter with the lowest gas reserves in the last fifteen years and was purchasing more gas by ship from Russia than ever before. According to the data he provided, European storage was 72% full, compared to 83% a year earlier, while in Germany and the Netherlands it was below 60%. Orsini claimed that the agreement would give Putin more resources to strike Ukraine. Orsini recalled predicting that an attempt by NATO to defeat Russia on the battlefield would provoke a more intense Russian response against Ukraine and a severe economic crisis for Europe and Italy. He said that the prediction, made on February 24, 2022, had not been believed and that subsequent events had confirmed it. He also announced his participation that evening in the program *Accordi e Disaccordi* and the presentation, on October 17, at the Feltrinelli in Largo Argentina in Rome with Luca Sommi, of his book *Nato, l’espansione verso la Russia*. He described the volume as a historical reconstruction of NATO's enlargement towards Russia, from the promises to Gorbachev during the negotiations for German reunification to the war in Ukraine. The thesis of the book, he explained, connected the documentary origins of tensions between NATO and Russia to the contradiction between Article 5 and the minutes attached to the Treaty on the Final Settlement of Germany of September 12, 1990. https://t.co/2KWZ8kSEG9 #Russia #Europa #Gas (translated)

The one to reveal the European strategy, at the end of last May, was the German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, who had introduced a formula never before tested in Europe, and not even contemplated by the Treaties, proposing to welcome Ukraine as an "associated member." #Ucraina #UnioneEuropea #adesione (translated)

"There are two ways in which the EU can strengthen itself. Through enlargement, which has made us stronger, or through more partnerships. And what Ursula von der Leyen was talking about (the associate member formula, ed.) means what we can offer, at most, to a country that is not European. We are very open to going further, but for the moment EU treaties do not allow for associate member status.” And to make the atmosphere even more solemn, the plan for Ukraine's membership, alongside other candidate states like Montenegro, Albania, and Moldova, was presented at a press conference with the Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, who expressed her “confidence” in how the process is progressing, even directly appealing to the EU Council to invoke “a strong political commitment from European leaders”: “In the last nine months we have achieved results far beyond those obtained in the last 25 years and this would not have been possible without the member states,” she stated. #Ucraina #UnioneEuropea #adesione (translated)

The president of the Parliamentary Commission on Defense of Ukraine, Oleksii Goncharenko, states that the country is losing the war and proposes to start negotiations in exchange for the cessation of Russian attacks and the limitation of fighting in Donbass, but his position is not shared by the European Solidarity party. #Ucraina #Guerra #Pace (translated)

"Bettini's intervention on page 12 of the Corriere tells us that he has the recipe for Ukraine: push for negotiations. Dear Bettini, everyone has pushed for compromise starting with Macron, don't come and tell us about the Istanbul negotiations, it's a diversion." #Ucraina #politica #trattativa (translated)

Europe does everything to obstruct peace negotiations. This was recently stated, in his speech at the UN, by Lavrov, a prominent figure in Vladimir Putin's government. In short, Lavrov reveals to the whole world the truth that we all already know in our hearts: the EU, far from #Europa #Pace #Politica #EU #RU (translated)

The peaceful Russia in 2027 will further increase military spending while cutting school, pensions, and healthcare. While we are abundant with pseudo-intellectual politicians and "openly biased" journalists shouting against war-mongering Europe, solely responsible for the war that, according to them, Russia has suffered rather than declared, Moscow shows its willingness to dialogue by increasing military spending by an additional 27% year on year. This is reported by Reuters, which has seen a draft of the budget that will be presented to the Duma in the coming days. Defense spending is expected to rise to 17.1 trillion rubles (202 billion dollars) compared to the 13.5 trillion planned for 2026, an impressive figure in itself but even more chilling when considering the gap between projected and actual investments. This year, despite forecasts, the final defense budget could come close to 18 trillion, and the count may even be partial, as some expenses are classified and others are included in other chapters. In contrast, funding for social policies, which includes items such as pensions, payments to war veterans, and maternity allowances, will decrease by 7% in 2027. Education funding will decrease by 6% and healthcare by 6.8%, compared to the initial plan. Spending allocated to the "national economy" section, which includes road construction and other infrastructure projects as well as subsidies for agriculture and other sectors, will be reduced by 7.4%. Significant increases in taxes and public utility rates are also expected. The drastic worsening of the financial situation in recent years has forced the Kremlin to drain its financial reserves, increase the deficit, and raise public debt, which in 2027 will continue to grow to 21.7% of GDP - according to Moscow's optimistic forecasts - surpassing the 20% threshold considered "safe" for economic and financial stability. Debt poses a systemic danger given the crazy interest rates the Russian central bank has had to impose to curb runaway inflation. Indeed, 9.4% of the 2027 budget will be spent on debt service, rising to 10.6% by 2029. When someone tells us that peace is not being made because "Europe has not yet appointed its representative for negotiations" or that "Zelensky has banned talks by decree," instead of saying that Russia has so far rejected all ceasefire and truce proposals, that it spends on weapons, in purchasing power terms, as much as our entire continent, and that it already teaches young generations to hate us and how to fight us, we know they are mainly trying to hide from us that to the east there are those who see us and treat us as an enemy and have dedicated their entire economy to our destruction instead of the well-being of their people.

Romano al @Corriere: “Qualcosa del mio lavoro cambierà. Spariranno gli “Here We Go”? Non spariranno, resteranno sul mio account. Ma più il tempo passa, più acquista valore la qualità. Il calciomercato mi ha dato tutto, ma è diventato tossico, eccessivo e bulimico. Voglio fare qualcosa di diverso: anziché fare 100 post al giorno per una trattativa vorrei approfondire il perché di un acquisto, spiegare se un giocatore è bravo o meno. Un salto di qualità insomma” #calciomercato #calcio #giornalismo

Cari @GiuseppeConteIT, @NFratoianni e sedicenti pacifisti, sarei onorato se qualcuno di voi per una volta rispondesse a queste semplici domande. Nei giorni scorsi il Consiglio D’Europa ha pubblicato un documento nel quale viene descritto con raccapricciante chiarezza cosa accade nei territori occupati, tra torture sistematiche, rapimenti di bambini, violenze, esecuzioni sommarie, processi pilotati, sparizioni forzate, detenzioni arbitrarie, negazione di ogni libertà, soppressione dell’identità ucraina, arruolamento coatto e militarizzazione dei minori. Quando parlate di pace avete già deciso che a pagarne il prezzo dovranno essere i 3,5 milioni di ucraini che vivono nelle regioni sotto occupazione russa e che ogni giorno subiscono tutto questo? A Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol e altre località si erano già riempite di fosse comuni dopo un solo mese di occupazione. Come potete non chiedere voi per primi la liberazione di ogni centimetro di terra ucraina per impedire che questo orrore si ripeta e perché ogni vittima abbia un nome e ottenga giustizia? L’Ucraina nel 1994 cedette il terzo più vasto arsenale nucleare al mondo in cambio di assicurazioni sull’integrità territoriale, la sovranità e l’astensione dalla coercizione economica. La Russia, cofirmataria del memorandum, ha violato tutte e tre le promesse. Quale insegnamento credete che trarrebbe il mondo se oggi rinunciassimo, come voi chiedete ogni giorno, alla difesa dell’Ucraina, se non che le armi nucleari valgono più dei trattati e che quindi l’unica difesa è costruirsi un proprio arsenale atomico? È questa la vostra idea di disarmo? Dei 4 trattati sottoscritti con l’Ucraina tra il 1994 ed il 2015 la Russia non ne ha rispettato neanche uno. In alcuni ha persino finto di non essere parte in causa mentre armava separatisti e mandava truppe in segreto. Quello in discussione in Turchia ha provato ad imporlo massacrando civili, pretendo che Kyiv accettasse con una pistola puntata alla testa di disarmarsi, rimanere fuori dalla NATO e dare al suo invasore il diritto di veto sull’eventuale soccorso in caso di nuova invasione. Come fate a ritenere che disarmare l’Ucraina possa portare ad un accordo equo che la Russia rispetterebbe, visto che intendete mettere la vittima anziché l’aggressore in una condizione di svantaggio e renderla incapace di reagire? Le cessioni territoriali violano i trattati dell’ONU e le convenzioni internazionali, che tutelano sovranità, rispetto dei confini e autodeterminazione. Putin ha violato questi principi in Cecenia dal 1999, in Georgia dal 2008, in Ucraina dal 2014 e di nuovo dal 2022. Cedere per l’ennesima volta alle pretese di un dittatore a cosa porterà se non alla prossima guerra? Cosa non avete capito dalla lezione della conferenza di Monaco del 1938 e della guerra mondiale che ne è derivata? Putin tenta da 22 anni di controllare l’Ucraina politicamente, 18 anni fa ha iniziato a dire che non esiste, da 12 anni cerca di destabilizzarla e da 5 di cancellarla. Cosa credete che farà Putin se non continuare a provarci? Alla luce della miseria di aiuti che abbiamo inviato finora, i vostri saldi principi vi portano veramente a sostenere che la sopravvivenza di un intero popolo valga meno di un caffè al mese? La Russia spende in armi, a parità di potere d’acquisto quanto l’intera Europa. Nelle tv russe si parla a giorni alterni di come nuclearizzare le nostre capitali. Nelle chiese si definisce santa la guerra contro l’Occidente. Nelle scuole si coltiva l’odio verso di noi e si insegna ad usare droni e armi. A cosa serve il disarmo che proponete se non a lasciarci indifesi davanti ad un pericolo esistenziale? Ecco. Se non sapete rispondere a tutto questo, non rompete più i coglioni con le malefatte di Trump, con i doppi standard su Gaza, con il patriarcato, il femminicidio, la giustizia, il diritto e Bella Ciao. Perché il mondo in cui si legittima la sopraffazione l’avrete voluto voi. #Ucraina #Pace #Giustizia
