Ukraine war briefing: Macron, Scholz agree Kyiv should use allies’ weapons against launchers in Russia
Wed, 29 May 2024 00:38:11 GMT
Nato secretary general says alliance members should allow deep strikes, which White House says it doesn’t ‘encourage or enable’. What we know on day 826
Ukraine should be allowed to use its allies’ weapons to “neutralise” Russian military bases used to fire missiles into Ukraine, France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, said on Tuesday. But he added: “We should not allow them to touch other targets in Russia, and obviously civilian capacities.”
Macron commented during a state visit to Germany, whose chancellor, Olaf Scholz, appeared to back Ukraine on the matter as well – saying he agreed with the French president as long as the Ukrainians respected the conditions of the weapons’ suppliers. The chancellor has however refused to supply Germany’s Taurus cruise missiles – sought by the Ukrainians and capable of powerful strikes on Russian positions inside Ukraine and deep into Russia.
The Nato secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, told the Economist that alliance members should let Ukraine strike deep into Russia with western weapons. But the White House on Tuesday ruled out such a possibility for US-supplied weapons. “There’s no change to our policy at this point. We don’t encourage or enable the use of US-supplied weapons to strike inside Russia,” said John Kirby, national security council spokesperson.
Vladimir Putin warned of “serious consequences” if Russia is struck with western weapons – repeating a pattern of routine but vague and unfulfilled threats towards Ukraine’s allies. The Kremlin also gloated over persisting differences in the west – “we see that there is no consensus on this issue”, regime spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told the Russian daily Izvestia.
The first deliveries of 155mm artillery shells under a Czech-led initiative should arrive in Ukraine within days, the Czech prime minister, Petr Fiala, said on Tuesday while hosting Ukraine’s prime minister, Denys Shmyhal, and leaders of some EU allies in Prague. The initiative had so far raised €1.6bn, Fiala said.
EU officials have said an estimated €6.5bn for Ukraine remains stalled by the Hungarian government of Viktor Orbán, considered Russia’s staunchest ally in the union. “That’s the sad thing that we have the cash, we have the capacity, but we are still pending decisions to implement” aid decisions for Ukraine, said the EU foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell. Single member states have wide veto powers – though these powers can be suspended where a member is deemed to be working against the EU’s principles and interests.
Belgium on Tuesday made a €1bn aid pledge to Ukraine and a commitment to give Ukraine 30 F-16 fighter jets in the next four years.
Russian guided bombs killed two civilians in the eastern Ukrainian city of Toretsk on Tuesday and heavily damaged two multi-storey apartment buildings, said the Donetsk regional governor, Vadym Filashkin.
The White House has said the US and its partners are prepared to use more sanctions and export controls to prevent China-Russia trade that threatens their security, Patrick Wintour writes. Daleep Singh, a national security advisers, said they could also act further to increase Russia’s cost of using a shadow fleet to evade a G7 oil price cap.
Singh said Russia was utterly dependent on China, giving Beijing “enormous leverage” over Moscow, and China faced risks and costs as well, given its combined goods trade with the EU and US was seven times that of its trade with Russia. Singh said Russia-China trade had dropped since Joe Biden expanded the targeting of financial institutions, and authorities may go further.
Singh said the G7 leaders’ summit next month was the best chance to shore up Ukraine by planning to monetise around $300bn in frozen Russian assets, a move he said was risky but necessary. G7 leaders are scheduled to gather in Italy on 13-15 June.

Biden official says more sanctions are needed to counter Russia war economy
Tue, 28 May 2024 18:45:48 GMT
Daleep Singh said that sanctioning third parties that trade with Russia is needed, in addition to seizing assets for Ukraine
Russia’s shift towards a full-fledged war economy requires the west to extend its sanctions policy, including by sanctioning third-party entities that trade with Moscow, a senior White House official signalled on Tuesday.
Daleep Singh, deputy national security adviser for international economics, said the United States would consider export controls to prevent China-Russia trade that threatens American security and take further action to increase the cost of Russia using a shadow fleet to evade the G7 countries’ oil price cap.

Lawyer Todd Blanche presented at the end of his closing argument “10 reasons why” there was reasonable doubt in the prosecution’s case and the jury should acquit Trump. It effectively came down to a handful of principal lines of argument:

Spying, hacking and intimidation: Israel’s nine-year ‘war’ on the ICC exposed
Tue, 28 May 2024 12:00:30 GMT
Exclusive: Investigation reveals how intelligence agencies tried to derail war crimes prosecution, with Netanyahu ‘obsessed’ with intercepts
When the chief prosecutor of the international criminal court (ICC) announced he was seeking arrest warrants against Israeli and Hamas leaders, he issued a cryptic warning: “I insist that all attempts to impede, intimidate or improperly influence the officials of this court must cease immediately.”
Karim Khan did not provide specific details of attempts to interfere in the ICC’s work, but he noted a clause in the court’s foundational treaty that made any such interference a criminal offence. If the conduct continued, he added, “my office will not hesitate to act”.

On the Zero-Day Market
2024-05-24T11:07:53Z
New paper: “Zero Progress on Zero Days: How the Last Ten Years Created the Modern Spyware Market“:
Abstract: Spyware makes surveillance simple. The last ten years have seen a global market emerge for ready-made software that lets governments surveil their citizens and foreign adversaries alike and to do so more easily than when such work required tradecraft. The last ten years have also been marked by stark failures to control spyware and its precursors and components. This Article accounts for and critiques these failures, providing a socio-technical history since 2014, particularly focusing on the conversation about trade in zero-day vulnerabilities and exploits. Second, this Article applies lessons from these failures to guide regulatory efforts going forward. While recognizing that controlling this trade is difficult, I argue countries should focus on building and strengthening multilateral coalitions of the willing, rather than on strong-arming existing multilateral institutions into working on the problem. Individually, countries should focus on export controls and other sanctions that target specific bad actors, rather than focusing on restricting particular technologies. Last, I continue to call for transparency as a key part of oversight of domestic governments’ use of spyware and related components...

Ex-FTX executive gets over seven years for making illegal political donations
Tue, 28 May 2024 22:14:23 GMT
Ryan Salame is first of Sam Bankman-Fried’s lieutenants to get jail time for his role in 2022 collapse of cryptocurrency exchange
A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced former FTX executive Ryan Salame to more than seven years in prison, the first of the lieutenants of failed cryptocurrency mogul Sam Bankman-Fried to receive jail time for their roles in the 2022 collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange.
Salame, 30, was a high-ranking executive at FTX for most of the exchange’s existence and, up until its collapse, was the co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets. He pleaded guilty last year to illegally making unlawful US campaign contributions and to operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business.

Bankruptcy trustee should take over Giuliani’s assets, creditors’ attorneys say
Tue, 28 May 2024 21:09:24 GMT
Former mayor repeatedly lied and deceived creditors about his finances to avoid money going to them, lawyers say in court filing
A bankruptcy judge should appoint a trustee to immediately take control of Rudy Giuliani’s financial affairs after the former mayor repeatedly lied and deceived creditors about his finances, lawyers for the creditors said in a Tuesday court filing.
Among other things, the lawyers said Giuliani was funneling money into his businesses to avoid it going to creditors, undervalued his jewellery, and refused to disclose what several Apple and Amazon purchases were for. Giuliani filed for bankruptcy in December, shortly after a jury in Washington DC ordered him to pay $148.1m in damages to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss – two Atlanta, Georgia, election workers he spread lies about after the 2020 election.

‘It breaks an employer’s control’: the tragic disappearance of the American lunch hour
Tue, 28 May 2024 12:00:31 GMT
Americans are spending less on weekday lunches, opting instead to save for weekends. Is a once-cherished meal in its death throes?
“The lunch rush is dead,” an NBC News headline announced this week. Blame it on working from home, tighter budgets, inflation or all of the above: transaction data pulled by the digital-payments app Square found that midday food spending was down 3.3% nationwide last year compared with 2019. The decrease was steeper in some cities, including Boston, Atlanta and Dallas.
While a full obit for the humble lunch break might be premature, a recent report from the University of Toronto backed up the hypothesis that Americans want to spend more on weekend luxuries than a lunch bill. The study found that foot traffic in major US cities remains low on workdays, but higher during the weekend.
