“Ningún lugar donde esconderse”: la pregunta que inquieta a las tropas ucranianas en su demoledora contraofensiva

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:48 GMT

(CNN) — Las cuatro carreteras de Staromayorske parecen casi reducidas a polvo en las imágenes del dron. Es un pueblo diminuto, pero como último logro de la renovada contraofensiva de Ucrania en dirección a Mariúpol, el simbolismo de Staromayorske supera con creces su tamaño.Su destino representa un problema mayor para Ucrania a medida que avanza. Después de las amargas batallas de los avances de Ucrania, apenas queda en pie un muro desde el cual las fuerzas de Kyiv puedan defender el territorio recuperado, lo que hace que su progreso ganado con tanto esfuerzo sea vulnerable a la artillería contundente de Rusia.Esto es exactamente lo que sucedió este lunes, cuando se dijo que los bombardeos persistentes habían golpeado las ruinas del pueblo. En un momento, los funcionarios rusos incluso afirmaron haber expulsado a las fuerzas ucranianas de la aldea, lo que Ucrania negó rotundamente.Para las tropas que lucharon por Staromayorske, una mezcla de las fuerzas de defensa territorial ...

Ursula von der Leyen’s going on vacation. Who’s she leaving in charge of the EU?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:48 GMT

BRUSSELS — It’s officially August, which means the last Eurocrats are heading out of town to their favorite summer retreats, and most of Brussels is “out of office.”But a few commissioners have the questionable honor of being on the summer roster, staying behind as the person on duty should an emergency arise. Former Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker introduced the system in 2017 to show that the EU never sleeps, and his successor Ursula von der Leyen continued it. A rota is set up at the start of each five-year Commission term and covers all holiday periods, with each commissioner holding down the fort for 13 days. Von der Leyen and top EU diplomat Josep Borrell are exempt.The official job description for the commissioners on duty recalls the theme of “Designated Survivor.” The assigned commissioner will be in charge if there’s an unexpected crisis and will maintain the “continuity of the Commission’s core tasks,” a Commission spokesperson said, adding that thes...
