Neuer ukrainischer Generalstabschef: âRussland hat kein Existenzrechtâ
Donezk und Lugansk seien schwierige Gebiete, so Drapatyj. Dort wĂŒrden vor allem âUmsiedlerâ (aus Russland), âKriminelleâ und Personen wohnen, âdie nicht arbeiten und alles umsonst haben wollenâ (Minute 12:00). In Donezk und Lugansk lebe eine Bevölkerung âohne Bewusstseinâ. Mit âBewusstseinâ meint Drapatyj das GefĂŒhl, zur Ukraine zu gehören.
Russland ist laut Drapatyj eine âstĂ€ndige Gefahrâ fĂŒr die Ukraine. âDas ist eine Nation mit einer FĂŒhrung, die kein Recht auf Existenz hat. Sie hat wĂ€hrend tausend Jahren nichts Zivilisatorisches hervorgebracht, nicht in der MentalitĂ€t und nicht in dem imperial-ambitionierten Verhalten.â (Minute 23:40)
Mit Russland könne die Ukraine, so Drapatyj, keinen Kompromiss finden. âAm Ende des Kampfes um unsere UnabhĂ€ngigkeit muss unser Sieg stehen. Ein Sieg ohne Kompromisse.â (24:34)

Geheimdienstreform: Zeitenwende fĂŒr Spione
(July 10, 2026)
Biometrische Echtzeit-Abgleiche soll die Behörde auch nutzen dĂŒrfen. Damit soll sie VideoĂŒberwachung live auswerten dĂŒrfen und prĂŒfen, ob eine Person im Visier der Behörde an einem bestimmten Ort auftaucht. FĂŒr den Zugriff auf entsprechende Kamera soll der Verfassungsschutz Betreiber verpflichten dĂŒrfen, Aufnahmen herauszugeben, live auszuleiten oder gleich die VideoĂŒberwachungsanlagen mit zu nutzen â zumindest wenn es um Ăberwachung von öffentlich zugĂ€nglichen RĂ€umen geht. Das heiĂt, der Verfassungsschutz dĂŒrfte in Echtzeit Kameras am Bahnhof oder im Einkaufszentrum anzapfen.
(…)
Um biometrische Daten abzugleichen, mĂŒsste der BND laut Entwurf keine eigenen Mittel nutzen â ein Abgleich dĂŒrfte auch ĂŒber öffentliche oder private Stellen im Ausland erfolgen, wenn er selbst oder andere deutsche oder europĂ€ische Stellen das nicht können. Das öffnet die Tore dafĂŒr, dass der BND am Ende Anwendungen nutzt, die es nach europĂ€ischen Datenschutzrechten nicht geben dĂŒrfte. Der Geheimdienst könnte bei auĂereuropĂ€ischen Partnern um Hilfe bitten, fĂŒr die schwĂ€chere Regeln gelten.

Die gröĂte Gefahr fĂŒr die Pressefreiheit ist nicht zwingend das offene Publikationsverbot. Viel wirksamer ist eine AtmosphĂ€re, in der Informanten schweigen, Journalisten ihre Kontakte vorsorglich reduzieren und Redaktionen bestimmte Recherchen vermeiden.
Diese Selbstzensur hinterlÀsst keinen dramatischen Gerichtsbeschluss. Es gibt keinen verbotenen Artikel und keinen beschlagnahmten Drucker. Die Geschichte wird einfach niemals geschrieben.

Beihilfe zum Angriffskrieg
Die Auffassung, dies habe keine Folgen, ist laut Michael Riegner, Professor fĂŒr Ăffentliches Recht, Völkerrecht und Rechtsvergleichung an der UniversitĂ€t Erfurt und Direktor der dortigen Global Justice Clinic, nicht haltbar. Es sei unzulĂ€ssig, Artikel 26 Absatz 1 des Grundgesetzes auf die Bundeswehr zu beschrĂ€nken, urteilt Riegner. In dem Paragraph heiĂt es, âHandlungen, die geeignet sind âŠ, das friedliche Zusammenleben der Völker zu stören, insbesondere die FĂŒhrung eines Angriffskrieges vorzubereitenâ, seien âunter Strafe zu stellenâ. Wer die FĂŒhrung eines Angriffskriegs ermögliche, leiste âBeihilfeâ, konstatiert Riegner.[11] Es könne kein Zweifel daran bestehen, dass dies auch im Fall der Vorbereitung eines Angriffskrieges durch StreitkrĂ€fte eines Drittstaates gelte, etwa durch die StreitkrĂ€fte der USA.

(April 16, 2026)
Die Bundesregierung hat auch in den ersten Wochen des Iran-Kriegs RĂŒstungsexporte nach Israel genehmigt â allerdings in verhĂ€ltnismĂ€Ăig geringem Umfang. Vom 28.
