Lo que el presidente de Ucrania, Volodymyr Zelensky, quería de la OTAN, y lo que obtuvo

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:45:56 GMT

(CNN) — En la cumbre de la OTAN del año pasado, en Madrid, la alianza invitó formalmente a Suecia y Finlandia a unirse a sus filas. En la cumbre de este año, en Vilna, el presidente de Ucrania, Volodymyr Zelensky, esperaba que la Alianza Atlántica le otorgara a su país el mismo favor.Pero no ocurrió. En su comunicado final, emitido este miércoles por la noche, la OTAN afirmó que “el futuro de Ucrania está en la OTAN”, pero no dijo cuándo podría comenzar ese futuro.A lo largo de la invasión rusa, los aliados occidentales se han preocupado por aprobar lo que Kyiv ha pedido: primero, artillería; luego, tanques Leopard; después, aviones de combate F-16 y luego, municiones en racimo. Cada vez, lo que al principio parecía estar más allá de los límites, eventualmente llegó a ser visto por algunos miembros como sensato y justo.Pero la pertenencia a la OTAN es mucho más importante que el equipamiento militar, y puede pasar algún tiempo antes de que se conceda el último deseo de Kyiv.

Spain votes by mail in record numbers, as conservatives feud with the postal service

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:45:56 GMT

MADRID — Spain’s conservatives have a new boogeyman: The postal service. Ahead of next weekend’s national election, post offices across the country have been mobbed by voters seeking to sign up for mail-in balloting before the deadline for that option expires this Thursday. Spain’s center-right Popular Party, however, isn’t happy — and is accusing the postal service of meddling in the election. According to Correos, the state-owned postal service, a whopping 94,000 Spaniards filed for mail-in voting on Wednesday. Madrid resident Alejandro Rodríguez, who is registered to vote in his hometown of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, was one of them.“I waited until the last moment, more because of laziness than anything else,” he admitted sheepishly. “But fortunately it was all super straightforward: I came extra early, at 8:30 in the morning, and there was barely any line so I was done within 15 minutes.”It’s the first time that Spain ...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:45:56 GMT
