Donbas - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 21 May [Ukrainian sources] Empty In "Ukrnafta" stole over 11 billion. Footprints lead to structures Kolomoisky

Sat May 21, 2016 3:31 am
The lion's share of the billions of the largest Ukrainian oil company was withdrawn in March - October 2015

State Fiscal Service has established a number of companies that have appropriated 11.6 billion hryvnia "Ukrnafta". The founders of these structures still are caught in a scandal over the withdrawal of "Privatbank" Igor Kolomoisky about two billion dollars.

Fiscal Service is investigating a case of theft and misappropriation of funds "Ukrnafta". Investigators found that the top management of five companies - "Halnafta", "Garant-UTN", "Tekhtreid Group", "TD" Prykarpattyanaftotreyd "and" Kotlas "- during the March-October 2015 seized funds" Ukrnafta "11 6 billion.

This was announced with approval Solomyansky Court of Kyiv on May 6, 2016.

According to court documents, the period of spring - autumn last year fell "activity peak output of multi-funds" Ukrnafta "through artificially created receivables". A direct consequence of this, according to prosecutors, is a decrease of 11.6 billion hryvnias amount of dividend distributions. This is, like, resulted in losses of the company.

"Ukrnafta" - the largest Ukrainian oil company. "Naftogaz Ukraine" owns 50% + 1 share "Ukrnafta" group of companies "Privat" Igor Kolomoisky - about 42% of the shares. Net loss for the company in 2015 amounted to about five billion.

As found "cupola", a company which, according to prosecutors guilty of unprofitable activities "Ukrnafta" are involved in problematic transactions "Privatbank" in 2014 worth about two billion dollars. As wrote "cupola", while the country's largest bank received refinancing from the National Bank, and later spent about a billion dollars (later "our money" clarified that this amount was about $ 2 billion) in loans knowingly failed transactions. Money "settled" in the accounts of foreign companies and lending scheme that was used by the bank, made ​​it unlikely their return to Ukraine. This three dozen lesser-known borrowers "Privatbank" and their foreign partners, the accounts were subsequently transferred billions were related to the business group "Privat".

Among them, for example, was of "Tehspetsmontazh" - because it "Privatbank" gave overseas $ 47 million. The founders' Tehspetsmontazhu "-" Staferton kommershial LTD "," Ballioti enterprayzes LTD "," Petrolink Holdings SA ", according to state register of legal entities, while controlling the company "Halnafta." The latter, as noted above, included in the list of structures that, according to DFS, washed money "Ukrnafta".

A similar situation with another cause of financial problems "Ukrnafta" - company "Garant-UTN". Its founder - "Olstrim vencherz Ltd" - simultaneously serving founder of "Paradise". Through the latter, according to "our money", two years ago, "Privatbank" gave overseas $ 56 million. As noted by the publication, at the time the "Olstrim vencherz Ltd" through a chain founders belonged "Privatbank".

The same common ground can be found and the other defendants in the case for loss "Ukrnafta" 11.6 billion USD. For example, among the founders of the above "Kotlas" is company "Global chemikal servisez Ltd", co-owner of companies "Rapita" and "Profit" that due to controversial operations "Privatbank" two years ago received $ 50 million.

Striking that "peak activity" for the withdrawal of capital from "Ukrnafta" started last year after the adoption of the law on the reduction of quorum for the general meeting of shareholders of companies from 60% to 50% + 1 share. From these changes benefited the state, which was in "Ukrnafta" 50% and 1 share, but still could not call a meeting of shareholders and receive dividends under lock controlled by Kolomoisky structures.

Debt "Ukrnafta" to the state budget as of 1 January exceeded 10 billion USD for non-payment of rent payments, VAT and income tax. Only rent payments debt in 2015 reached 3.3 billion USD, which was the reason for criminal proceedings. Prosecution investigators suspect that "in order to obtain undue advantage for companies' top management of the oil company in 2015 deliberately did not pay royalties to the state budget.

Earlier it was reported that "Ukrnafta" refuse to pay the state 1.8 billion hryvnia dividends for the last three years, citing the fact that "Naftogaz" took in her gas 2.6 billion.

Recall from September 2015 "Ukrnafta" led by Briton Mark Rawlins County. At the new head of Ukraine's largest oil company was the challenge - to end the monopoly of the group "Privat" management "Ukrnafta". This was not possible any Ukrainian government since 2002.

Already in April, the State Fiscal Service demanded that "Naftogaz Ukraine" to terminate the contract of Rawlins County. Derzhmonopolist refused this, citing that the issue can be resolved only at the general meeting of shareholders.

As Tsenzor.NET, writes about this in his article, the first deputy chief editor of "ZN" Sergei Rakhmanin. "Russia has practically no secret of how she is interested in lifting sanctions. Turnover state, according to official data of the Federal Customs Service, in year fell by more than a quarter. Revenue from oil exports, according to some, fell three times.

Donbas - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 21 May [Ukrainian sources] Empty Stunning idea by Russian professor

Sat May 21, 2016 8:58 am
Aleksandr Ageyev, director of the Institute for Economic Strategies at the Russian Academy of Sciences proposed giving voting rights to 27 million Soviet citizens who died in WWII, Fontanka.ru reports May 21.

Social networks reacted to the proposal with thousands of sneering comments. 

Allowing the dead to vote will consolidate the Russian society, the professor says, and influence the development of the country they had saved by their feat.

The families of the dead can vote for them, the professor clarified.

He failed, however, to specify what categories of the dead will have  voting rights reinstated, soldiers or millions of political dissidents and victims of Stalin persecution.

Donbas - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 21 May [Ukrainian sources] Empty Why West softens pressure on Ukraine about elections in Donbas

Sat May 21, 2016 9:34 am
Western leaders have decreased pressure on Ukraine regarding the elections in the rebel-held territories of Donbas, influential journalist Serhy Rakhmanin wrote in his article for The Dzerkalo Tyzhnya May 21.

 “As before, the leaders of the USA and Europe are eager to make the progress in Ukraine their trump card in the 2017 election campaigns. But they are aware that rushing things may backlash on them.

The situation in Ukraine has changed a stable decline in power’s and even worrisome nosedive in president’s popularity. On the other hand, the number of those against stopping the war with Russia at any cost is growing.

According to the recent Razumkov Center poll, 56.4% of Ukrainians are against giving the rebel-held territories a special status, 52.5% against holding elections there prior to establishing Kyiv’s control over the territory, and 42.3% against amnesty for rebels.

The conclusions apparently made in the west are: too much haste regarding the elections in Donbas may intensify internal pressure in Ukraine; Pres Poroshenko does not have enough clout to railroad the issue in the Rada; the enforced implementation of the Minsk agreements, something the West has been recently adamant about, may destabilize Ukraine and weaken the power’s positions, eventually playing into Moscow’s hands.

Any rush with the elections in Donbas may lead to the real escalation, not peace,” Serhy Rakhmanin wrote.

Donbas - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 21 May [Ukrainian sources] Empty U.S. present in talks on Donbas not physically, but ideologically - official

Sat May 21, 2016 1:30 pm
The format for settling the situation in eastern Ukraine with the participation of European countries – the Normandy Four – is unlikely to be expanded. The United States is present in informal consultations, Deputy Ukrainian Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze has said.

"I do not see how to change the official [Normandy] format in the near term. I wish the United States was there. I am glad that the United States is present in informal consultations," she told reporters in Kyiv on Saturday.

She said that the United States is present at the talks "not physically, but ideologically."...........

interfax.com.ua

Interesting that since day one, I heard many-many times, "what is the US doing for Ukraine?". But when the US wants to be a part of the Normandy talks, they don't want them included. So if they don't want then in the talks, then they (Europe) should be doing much more than the US is currently. Why don't I hear "what is Europe doing for Ukraine?". Always push everything on the US, and if it's not to their liking, they then bash the US. These are people that don't know what the hell they're talking about, from the beginning. What European country has done more for Ukraine than the US? I'd REALLY like to know. Of course, not one person will come up with one. How about if the US Pulls out of doing anything for Ukraine and leave it up to Europe alone? Guess who'll they'll bash.

Nothing but brainless twits are the ones bashing the US.

Donbas - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 21 May [Ukrainian sources] Empty Reaction to NATO Missile Defense System Is Just One Sign of Russia’s Growing Paranoia

Sat May 21, 2016 1:46 pm
NATO’s deployment of a missile defense system in Romania this month brought the requisite Russian snarls and vows of countervailing action, such as reintroducing a movable, rail-based missile system that Moscow abolished in 2008.

The Romanian system is the latest piece in a strategic chess match between Russia and the West that is based on polar-opposite views of who is the threat to the region.

Russia, which has been invaded by the Mongols, Napoleon and Hitler, freaks out when it sees a force on its doorstep that it believes could be the vanguard of a new invasion.

The West, meanwhile, wants a strong military presence on Russia’s borders to insure there is no repeat of the Soviet subjugation of Eastern Europe that lasted from the end of World War II to the USSR’s collapse in 1991.

So which perspective is right: Russia’s view that it needs a military-free buffer zone on its borders to protect it against a new invasion, or the West’s view that it needs troops on Russia’s borders to prevent Moscow from subjugating its neighbors again?

My view is that the West’s perspective is correct...................

According to him, some attacks are tracked for seven to ten years, ie since 2006.

This attack aimed primarily at institutions that deal with energy policy and security, and foreign policy, military and defense issues.
