Ukraine ‘has never been closer’ to NATO membership – Stoltenberg

“And these three things, the interoperability, the NATO-Ukraine Council and removal of the requirement for Membership Action Plan for Ukraine, demonstrate that Ukraine has never been closer to a membership in NATO than now,” Stoltenberg declared.

US President Joe Biden said ahead of the July summit that Ukraine would have to meet certain conditions before its bid was accepted. NATO member states have also ruled out Ukraine joining before the conflict with Russia is resolved.

Ukraine‘s front-line forces aren‘t advancing as much as ‚hoped‘ in the face of tough Russian defenses, but they‘re gaining ground, about 300 feet per day, NATO chief says

Since the much-anticipated counteroffensive began in early June, Ukraine has faced waves of criticism — including from officials and experts in Western countries that have provided it with military support — that its forces are not moving fast enough. Kyiv has grown increasingly frustrated with such pessimistic commentary, and Dmytro Kuleba, the country‘s top diplomat, even told critics recently to „shut up“ and try liberating territory themselves.

Biden will then hold talks with current NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg on Monday.

Ukraine is set to top the agenda for their talks which will take place one month out from the summit and will give other NATO countries an inkling of what to expect from Kyiv‘s most powerful western ally.

Wann waren am Freitag wieviel Wachmannschaft, Polizei und Geheimdienst auf Utoya?

(25. Juli 2011)

Gestern am späten Abend veröffentlichte das Boulevard-Blatt „Verdens Gang“ (VG), zwei Tage nach den Norwegen-Attentaten von Oslo und Utoya, eine überraschende Meldung. Unter den Toten auf der Insel, so VG, sei auch ein Polizist. Dieser habe sich dort „außer Dienst“aufgehalten und sei dort als Wachmann eingesetzt gewesen. Unbewaffnet.

Heute nun meldet das „Dagbladet“ (1): es handelt sich bei diesem Toten um den Stiefbruder der Kronprinzessin Mette-Marit, den 51-jährigen Trond Berntsen. Dieser habe, als Polizist außer Dienst, „private Überstunden“ als Wachmann auf der Insel gemacht.

Folgendes wird nun durch das „Dagbladet“ berichtet: nach dem Attentat in Oslo sei am Freitag den Veranstaltern des Jugendcamps auf der Insel telefonisch mitgeteilt worden, daß ein Polizei-Vertreter auf der Insel erscheinen werde, um sie über das Attentat in Oslo zu informieren.
