A delegation of MEPs from the Committee on Budgetary Control has arrived in Kyiv for a fact-finding mission into the EU financial assistance in the amount of €3.4 billion granted to Ukraine under the European programs.

Head of the EU's delegation Inge Gräßle said at a news conference, Censor.NET reports citing Ukrainski Novyny.

According to her, the delegation has met with MPs, the minister of economic development and trade, and the first deputy prime minister.

She said that the Budgetary Control Committee verifies the use of the funds in the amount of €3.4 billion allocated under the European programs and used in Ukraine.

€900 million are intended for the bilateral development and support, €500 million - for regional development, €50 million - to raise stability, €60 million - for humanitarian aid, according to Gräßle.

The delegation has also discussed the issue of bankruptcy of 72 banks as well as the lost funds which no one had been able find.

She expressed hope that the Verkhovna Rada will do everything necessary for the continuation of reforms, as otherwise, the EU will be forced to block the macro-financial aid in support of reforms.

Gräßle stressed that Ukraine is faced with very strict requirements, as the financing of its reforms involves a lot of organizations.

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Thursday 19 May [Ukrainian sources] Empty Crimean Muslims face 15-year Sentences for Invented ’Terrorism’

Thu May 19, 2016 12:36 pm
Imprisoned victims of Russia’s occupation were not fotgotten during the remembrance events marking the 72nd anniversary of the Deportation of the Crimean Tatar people

The trial has begun of four Crimean Muslims accused by Russia of involvement in an organization – Hizb ut-Tahrir - which is legal in Ukraine but which Russia and Uzbekistan have declared ‘terrorist’ without providing any reason. The ‘court’ on Wednesday also saw no need for the defence to be shown any proof.

The timing for the preliminary hearing could not have been more telling. The occupation authorities had taken all measures, from threats to a ban on all remembrance gatherings, to prevent Crimean Tatars from attending remembrance gatherings in honour of the victims of the 1944 Deportation. Aside from official flower-laying, it was ‘business as usual’, with the business including a court hearing with the now standard extension of all defendants’ detention until October, and rejection of every application lodged by the defence.

It is not clear why the preliminary hearing was in Simferopol since the four defendants: Ruslan Zeitullayev; Rustem Vaitov; Nuri Primov and Ferat Saifullayev, are already in Rostov where the trial will continue on June 1. Although there was a video link with the men, the entire exercise bore all the hallmarks of a formality, and the prosecutor apparently did not even bother to attend.

Emil Kurbedinov, who was unlawfully prevented from representing three of the four men reported that all applications had been rejected, including the request to be shown the evidence which the lawyers clearly need to defend their clients.

If there is any proof

There is no evidence at all against any of the four defendants of any ‘terrorist’ activities................
