آخرین بسته کمک های بایدن برای اوکراین
به گزارش خبرگزاری مهر به نقل از خبرگزاری آسوشیتدپرس، آمریکا با اختصاص ۱۷۵ میلیارد دلار کمک‌های مالی و تسلیحاتی به کی یف، بزرگترین حامی جنگ اوکراین به شمار می‌رود. با این حال، انتقادهای دونالد ترامپ از کمک به اوکراین و وعده‌ها برای پایان بخشیدن به این جنگ، باعث ایجاد شتاب در دولت بایدن برای تسریع در روند ارسال تسلیحات به کی یف شده است.
بر این اساس، ۲ منبع آگاه که نخواستند نامشان فاش شود اعلام کردند دولت بایدن در نظر دارد پیش از ترک کاخ سفید آخرین بسته کمک‌های واشنگتن به اوکراین را ارسال کند.
این منابع اعلام کردند: لوئید آستین، وزیر دفاع آمریکا قرار است به منظور شرکت در نشست کشورهای غربی حامی جنگ اوکراین روز پنجشنبه به آلمان سفر کند و بسته جدید کمک‌ها طی این سفر به طور رسمی اعلام خواهد شد.
این منابع مدعی هستند آخرین بسته کمک‌های دولت بایدن به اوکراین به میزان قابل توجهی بزرگ و چشمگیر است. با این حال، ارزش دقیق این بسته کمک‌ها اعلام نشده است.
اکنون تیم بایدن در حال ارتباط و تبادل اطلاعات با تیم ترامپ درباره اوکراین است. گرچه ترامپ وعده داده است به جنگ اوکراین در ۲۴ ساعت پایان خواهد بخشید، اما جان مرشایمر، بزرگترین استراتژیست حال حاضر جهان تاکید دارد به دلیل آنکه روسیه مناطق تصرف شده از اوکراین را پس نخواهد داد و خواستار عدم عضویت اوکراین در سازمان ناتو است، رسیدن به توافق آتش بس از طریق میز مذاکره غیرمحتمل است.

Turkey threatens “military operation” against Syrian Kurds
Turkey has threatened to launch an offensive against the Kurdish People”s Protection Units (YPG) in Syria, which it accuses of being aligned with the homegrown Kurdistan Workers” Party (PKK), if the militant group fails to agree to Ankara”s demands in the wake of the fall of Bashar al-Assad.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan made the remarks in an interview with the CNN Turk TV channel on Tuesday, stressing that the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) terrorist regime in Syria must address the issue of the YPG’s presence.
“We will do what”s necessary” if the YPG does not meet Turkish demands and Damascus was unable to address the issue, Fidan said.
When asked what that might entail, he said a “military operation.”
He went on to say that Turkey believes the HTS has the power to battle the YPG on its own, but added that this may take time as a transition period is underway in Damascus.
Since the fall of Assad, Ankara has demanded that the YPG disband, its non-Syrian militants and foreign terrorist fighters leave Syria or be repatriated to their countries of origin, and its leaders turn themselves in.
Fidan further noted that the United States supported the YPG for various reasons, including purportedly confronting the Daesh terrorist group, when it was present in Syria.
However, he said, many of these reasons no longer exist, adding, “The ultimatum we gave them (the YPG) through the Americans is obvious.”
