多名高官遭查 乌克兰加大反腐争取“入欧”筹码******
中新网2月3日电 综合外媒报道，当地时间1日，乌克兰执法机构扩大了对腐败的打击力度，对多名现任和前任高官及富商的住宅展开搜查。乌总统泽连斯基表示，搜查是必要的，以确保“人们不会滥用权力”。
分析称，乌克兰此时大力反腐是为了在欧盟面前塑造积极改革的形象，以求加入欧盟及获得更多西方援助。

此次搜查对象包括现年59岁的前内务部长阿瓦科夫(Arsen Avakov)。
阿瓦科夫于2021年7月辞去乌内务部长一职。路透社称，在辞职之前，他被认为是该国最有权力的官员之一，曾任该职七年有余。
阿瓦科夫告诉乌克兰媒体，他的家之所以遭到搜查，与一项针对乌克兰空客直升机购买的调查有关。
2023年1月18日，乌克兰一架空客直升机坠毁，造成包括当时的内务部长莫纳斯特尔斯在内多人死亡。阿瓦科夫说，调查人员查阅了内务部与空客公司的合同，该公司制造了H-225“超级美洲狮”直升机，致命坠机事故发生时，该型号直升机被用于运送官员。
阿瓦科夫说，什么都没有发现，当时的所有合同也都获得了相关批准。

涉足乌媒体、石油和银行业的富商科洛莫伊斯基(Ihor Kolomoisky)也遭到调查。
据BBC介绍，泽连斯基出演的《人民公仆》曾在与科洛莫伊斯基有关的媒体频道播出。后者还曾出任第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯克州州长，但因涉嫌腐败遭美国制裁。
《基辅独立报》援引消息人士的话称，2月1日上午，乌克兰国家安全局(SBU)等突袭了科洛莫伊斯基在第聂伯罗的住宅。这位富商被指控逃避海关监管，并贪污价值10亿美元的石油产品。
——国防部卷入物资采购丑闻
乌克兰执法部门还向国防部的多名官员发出因涉嫌物资采购丑闻，将对其调查的通知。
此前，有乌克兰媒体爆料称，乌克兰国防部以“过高的价格”为士兵购买物资，这表明其中可能存在腐败问题。
乌国防部长列兹尼科夫对此称，价格过高是承包商的“技术失误”。乌国防部副部长沙波瓦洛夫则于1月24日辞职。
乌克兰国家反腐败局(NABU)表示，已开始调查国防部可能存在的腐败问题。
乌克兰为何近来反腐动作不断？
BBC分析称，乌克兰在打击腐败方面，正面临来自西方伙伴尤其是欧盟越来越大的压力。基辅定于本周与欧盟主要官员举行峰会，乌方认为这对推动其加入欧盟极为重要。
乌克兰约十名高级官员已于日前被解职，包括乌总统办公室副主任季莫申科。泽连斯基当时指出，这样做将有助于“与欧洲机构的和解”。
法新社也指出，乌克兰正在发起新的努力试图“清理”自身形象，以期安抚西方的支持者。
中新网评：处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事****** 中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称，将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对，企图将核污水“一倒了之”，把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。  资料图：日本福岛第一核电站。2011年，福岛核电站事故发生后，大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋，对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害，数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日，作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。 日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由，在2021年4月13日，正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多，日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。 日本政府辩称，这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全，甚至“可以喝”，这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。 事实上，经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质，核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收，长期来看，将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁，最终危害人类健康。 因此，核污水排海计划推出后，遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示，福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中，约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场，反对该计划。 日本政府认为，核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案，但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海，核污水会随着洋流流动，其影响势必会跨越国界，危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。 《韩国经济新闻》发文称，相关研究认为，福岛核污水如果排放入海，约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域，该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。 德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告，若日本将所有核污水排入海中，不到半年，整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁，包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。 日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国，有义务保护海洋环境。然而，在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上，日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。 国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估，但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论，并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下，日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设，这是极不负责任的行为。 太平洋不是日本的下水道，日本必须正视各方合理关切，在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后，制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远，若只顾眼前，执意将核污水排放入海，不仅其自身，周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单，其后果必将会危害数代人。  Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business By John Lee (ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year. Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business. The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster. On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year. The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public. In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run. Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public. The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution. The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community. The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses. According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan. As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment. However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact. Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad. The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies. If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
