G20 meeting ends without consensus over Russia’s war in Ukraine

India, which as chair of the Group of 20 (G20) economies was hosting a meeting in the city of Bengaluru, was reluctant to raise the issue of the war but Western nations insisted they could not back any outcome that did not include a condemnation.

The lack of consensus among G20 members meant India resorted to issuing a “chair’s summary and outcome document” in which it simply summed up the two days of talks and noted disagreements.

Q Mr. President, is it too early to say whether this missile was fired from Russia?

THE PRESIDENT: There is preliminary information that contests that. I don’t want to say that until we completely investigate. But it is — I — it’s unlikely, in the minds of the trajectory, that it was fired from Russia. But we’ll see. We’ll see.

Q Mr. President, has Poland suggested invoking Article 4 or 5 from NATO, sir?

Zelensky asks G7 for ‘air shield’ as rockets rain down on Ukraine

As deadly Russian airstrikes continued into a second day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday asked the Group of 7 nations to help his country establish an “air shield” against aerial attacks.

Zelensky’s plea comes amid one of the fiercest bombing campaigns that Russia has waged against Ukraine since invading in late February. At least 19 people have been killed and more than 100 wounded across the country, as far away as the western city of Lviv, hundreds of miles from the war’s main theaters in eastern and southern Ukraine.

Nach G7-Leak: Polizei legt öffentliche Piratenpartei-Infrastruktur lahm

(24.06.2022)Der Generalsekretär der Piratenpartei, Stephan Erdmann erklärt:

„Durch die Verschlüsselung der einzelnen CryptPads kann die Polizei mit den gesicherten Daten faktisch nichts anfangen. CryptPad ist ein mit EU-Fördermitteln entwickeltes Zero-Knowledge-Projekt. Grundsätzlich ist es so konzipiert, dass Informationen bezüglich Nutzerdaten und Inhalten auch von administrativer Seite aus nicht festgestellt werden können. Das hätte die Polizei auf Nachfrage in wenigen Minuten erfahren können.“

Dr. Patrick Breyer, Europaabgeordneter der Piratenpartei ergänzt:

„Die nicht zielführende Beschlagnahmeaktion passt ins Bild allgemein tiefer Grundrechtseinschränkungen am Ort des Gipfels. Ein Ort wird lahmgelegt, friedliche Demonstrationen weitestgehend verboten, Grenzkontrollen wieder eingeführt, vermutlich massenhaft Kfz-Kennzeichen gespeichert und mit Überwachungstechnologie wie Drohnen und fehleranfälliger Gesichtserkennung gearbeitet. Auf der Grundlage des maximal repressiven bayerischen Polizei- und Versammlungsrechts wird ein Ausnahmezustand geschaffen, der Grundrechte missachtet. In einer Demokratie sollten wir den Mächtigen mit einem gesunden Misstrauen begegnen, nicht der Staat seinen Bürgern mit Generalverdacht.“

G7 Leaders’ Statement

1. Today, on 8 May, we, the Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7), alongside Ukraine and the wider global community, commemorate the end of the Second World War in Europe and the liberation from fascism and the National Socialist reign of terror, which caused immeasurable destruction, unspeakable horrors and human suffering. We mourn the millions of victims and offer our respect, especially to all those who paid the ultimate price to defeat the National Socialist regime, including the western Allies and the Soviet Union.

2. Seventy-seven years later, President Putin and his regime now chose to invade Ukraine in an unprovoked war of aggression against a sovereign country. His actions bring shame on Russia and the historic sacrifices of its people. Through its invasion of and actions in Ukraine since 2014, Russia has violated the international rules-based order, particularly the UN Charter, conceived after the Second World War to spare successive generations from the scourge of war.
