Menteri Pertahanan Rumania Mengundurkan Diri

Vasile Dincu

KotabumiNews - Menteri Pertahanan Rumania Vasile Dincu mengundurkan diri pada hari Senin, mengatakan dia tidak bisa berkolaborasi dengan presiden negara itu, di tengah tekanan minggu setelah dia mengatakan satu-satunya kesempatan Ukraina untuk mengakhiri perang adalah untuk bernegosiasi dengan Rusia.

Uni Eropa dan negara NATO Rumania berbagi perbatasan 650 kilometer (400 mil) dengan Ukraina, menjadi tuan rumah bagi sistem pertahanan rudal balistik AS dan, pada tahun ini, telah memiliki aliansi pertempuran permanen yang ditempatkan di wilayahnya.

Sekitar 2,65 juta orang Ukraina telah melarikan diri ke Eropa melalui Rumania dalam delapan bulan sejak perang dimulai.

"Isyarat saya (pengunduran diri) datang karena tidak mungkin bekerja sama dengan presiden Rumania, panglima tentara," kata Dincu dalam sebuah pernyataan.

"Saya pikir penarikan saya dari jabatan itu diperlukan agar tidak merugikan keputusan dan program yang membutuhkan rantai komando yang cair dan untuk tidak memblokir serangkaian proyek yang mutlak diperlukan untuk ... kementerian dan tentara."

Pada awal Oktober, Dincu mengatakan Ukraina membutuhkan sekutu internasional untuk merundingkan jaminan keamanan dan perdamaian dengan Rusia, yang memicu kritik dari Presiden Klaus Iohannis dan para pemimpin koalisi pemerintahan yang berkuasa. Dia kemudian mengatakan komentarnya diambil di luar konteks.

Iohannis mengatakan Ukraina membayar dengan darah dalam perang dan hanya mereka yang bisa memutuskan apa dan kapan harus bernegosiasi, posisi yang dipegang oleh Rumania dan Uni Eropa.

US Disappointed by Palestinian President Abbas' Comments on Putin

KotabumiNews - The White House is "deeply disappointed" in Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for voicing distrust about Washington's diplomatic efforts to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Abbas instead praised Russia's stance on this issue. The disappointment was expressed by a spokesman for the US National Security Council (NSC) told Axios on Thursday (15/10/2022).

On Thursday, when Abbas praised Russia's "clear position" on a peace settlement between the Palestinians and Israel, he reiterated his support for the so-called Quartet in the Middle East, a framework of mediators that includes Russia, the US, the United Nations and the European Union.

However, Abbas noted that Washington cannot be the sole mediator.

"We don't trust America and you know our position ... under no circumstances can we accept that America is the only party in solving problems," Abbas told Putin on the sidelines of the Conference on Actions to Build Interaction and Trust in Asia in Astana. , Kazakhstan.

Abbas also praised for "standing by justice and international law".

According to two Axios sources, officials in US President Joe Biden's administration were "outraged" by Abbas's remarks and conveyed these sentiments to his advisers.

An NSC spokesman told the outlet that, "We are very disappointed to hear President Abbas' remarks to President Putin."

"Russia does NOT stand for justice and international law, as evidenced by the recent vote in the UN General Assembly," the spokesman stressed.

The spokesman was referring to a recent resolution rejecting a referendum in the four former Ukrainian territories, most of which voted to join Russia.

The spokesman also criticized Putin as "far from the type of international partner" who can help resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, in contrast to Biden, who "has demonstrated decades of US commitment to finding creative solutions."

The spokesman's statement came a week after US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan met top Palestinian official Hussein Al-Sheikh to discuss regional stability.

The meeting follows July talks between Biden and Abbas in which he confirmed his commitment to the idea of ​​creating an independent Palestinian state. However, he answered "not at the right time" to the question of restarting peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, to which Abbas replied that the chance for a two-state solution might be lost.

Analysts suggest that the US leader is seeking to improve relations with the Palestinians after his predecessor Donald Trump pursued policies that were more favorable to Israel.

Russia and Palestine, however, have had warm relations for many years. Abbas has visited Russia more than a dozen times.

Meghan-Harry's Testimony Differs Between Books and Documents

KotabumiNews - The Harry and Meghan Markle documentary, which will be released on Netflix in early December, is said to prove the evidence with the prince's own memoir.

"A lot of what's on the show contradicts what Harry wrote, that's a problem," a Netflix source told Page Six.

"Then Harry and Meghan made an important request [to filmmakers] to review their own content, for their personal projects," continued the source.

Harry and Meghan Markle themselves asked Netflix to delay the release of the show until next year because they wanted to continue editing.

However, Netflix bosses urged the documentary to be released after The Crown Season 5, which releases on November 5.

Now, a number of sources have confirmed that Netflix is ​​sticking with its decision and the couple's documentary will be out in early December.

The documentary series is known to have been filming for more than a year with the direction of director Liz Garbus.

The documentary is believed to be discussing many things about the life of the British Royal family, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, as well as King Charles III and Empress Camilla.

Meanwhile, the British royal family is said to be "very nervous" about the contents of Prince Harry's memoir.

Harry is said to want to rewrite his book after the death of Queen Elizabeth II on September 8.

China's Tianwen-1 Mars Mission Wins Prestigious Award at International Space Congress

KotabumiNews - China's Tianwen 1 Mars mission was awarded one of the space world's most prestigious awards at the 73rd International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Paris.

The Tianwen 1 mission was judged to have successfully carried out a historic first combined orbit, landing and exploration in a single launch. The Tianwen 1 spacecraft took off from the Wenchang spaceport on July 23, 2020 and entered Mars orbit in February 2021. The mission's solar-powered rover Zhurong then successfully landed on the Red Planet's Utopia Planitia plain in May 2020.

The mission carried out a historic combined orbit, landing, and exploration for the first time in a single launch. The achievement was rewarded with the International Astronautical Federation's annual space achievement award on Sunday 18 September 2022 during the 73rd International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Paris.

International Astronautical Federation (IAF) President Pascale Ehrenfreund introduced the team behind the spacecraft development at this year's keynote lecture at IAC. Jilian Wang, vice president at the Chinese Academy of Space Technology (CAST) which developed the spacecraft, presented an overview of the mission and outlined some of the key scientific achievements so far in the keynote, including global mapping of the Red Planet and back data that offers evidence of an ancient Martian ocean.

Wang also recorded visual highlights from the mission, including a Mars orbit selfie and an orbital insertion video. Tianwen 1 continues an extended science mission in Mars orbit, but on the surface, the Zhurong rover is currently hibernating to view winter in Mars' northern hemisphere.

The 240 kilogram solar-powered rover is currently expected to resume activity in December or January. "That's when more solar energy reaches Mars," said a member of the mission team during a question-and-answer session.

China also wants to follow up on its Mars success with an ambitious mission to collect samples from Mars and send them to Earth. The mission is named Tianwen 3 and will involve a pair of launches of Long March 5, China's largest rocket, sometime in 2028.

The mission is to send a lander and orbiter spacecraft to the Red Planet. Prior to this, the country aimed to conduct its first asteroid sample return mission with Tianwen 2, which launches sometime in 2025.

The mission is also likely to be open to international cooperation. "We want to partner with more space agencies, space companies, universities and all kinds of other entities," Wang said.

Japan's Hayabusa2 team's asteroid sample return mission won the award in 2021. China previously won an IAF award in 2020 for the Chang'e 4 landing on the far side of the moon.

Putin Deploys Reserve Troops Intensifies War in Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the partial mobilization of the Russian armed forces on Wednesday morning. He decreed sending Russians undergoing military training to join the fighting in Ukraine while finalizing an all-out draft.

"Only citizens who will be recruited for military service who are currently in the reserves and first of all those who have a certain profession and have the necessary experience, will be recruited for the campaign," Putin said in a televised broadcast, as quoted by NPR, Thursday 22 September 2022.

The announcement came just a day after several Russian-controlled areas announced plans for a referendum to become part of Russia. The series of choreographed events is reminiscent of the Russian leader's announcement to send thousands of troops to Ukraine in February.

Putin's announcement on Wednesday September 21 also comes as his country struggles to replenish its fighting force in Ukraine after suffering a setback on the battlefield amid a surging Ukrainian counter-offensive.

In a separate television interview, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Russia would soon call in 300,000 reservists to guard the front lines in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, criticism of Putin continues to be broadcast in the West. Addressing world leaders at the UN General Assembly Wednesday morning, US President Joe Biden said Russia had shamelessly violated the core principles of the UN charter by invading Ukraine.

"Putin claimed he had to act because Russia was being threatened," President Biden said. "No one threatens Russia. And no one but Russia seeks conflict," he stressed.

US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink tweeted that Russia is showing signs of weakness and is failing to escalate its war with Ukraine. Brink vowed that the United States would never recognize Russia's claim to annex Ukrainian territory, and would continue to stand with Ukraine for as long as necessary.

In his speech, Putin said greater strength was needed as Ukraine continues to receive heavy weaponry from Western collectives intent on weakening, isolating and destroying Russia.

The Russian leader also believes Russia has a moral obligation to protect civilians in parts of Russia-occupied Ukraine as they hold a series of referendums on joining the Russian Federation this weekend.

Putin also accused Western powers of providing Ukraine with long-range weapons systems that could strike deep into Russian territory and again accused Ukraine and its allies of threatening Russia with nuclear threats.

Putin warned Russia and its people would use all available means in their defense - noting Russia has a capable nuclear arsenal. "This is not a bluff," Putin said.

"Those who blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know the wind can turn and blow their way," he said.
