BREAKING - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Wednesday 25 May [Ukrainian sources] Empty Portuguese spy caught red-handed passing NATO secret information to Russian handler in Rome

Wed May 25, 2016 4:27 am
Russia’s espionage offensive in Europe came to the surface on Tuesday after a Portuguese spy was detained in Rome for allegedly passing NATO secrets to a Russian intelligence officer.

Censor.NET reports citing The Telegraph.

The supposed double agent, identified by the local media as Frederico Carvalhão, is a member of the Potugal's SIS intelligence service, the country's equivalent of MI5, responsible for internal security and counter-terrorism.

Mr Carvalhão is accused of selling sensitive information relating to NATO and the European Union, both of which are key targets for Russian intelligence.

In line with the tradecraft of espionage, Mr Carvalhão had allegedly been leaving Portugal and travelling to different European capitals to meet his Russian handler since 2014. But he was secretly tracked by the SIS counter-espionage unit.

Last Friday, Mr Carvalhão flew to Rome for a meeting with his Russian contact on Saturday. Italian police accompanied by Portuguese intelligence officers claim to have captured him red-handed in the act of passing documents to the Russian.

Unusually, the alleged Russian intelligence officer was not a diplomat with legal immunity, so he was also arrested.

Mr Carvalhão, who had risen to become a departmental chief in SIS before being shunted sideways into information analysis, is accused of charging €10,000 for every document he passed on.

"As a result of excellent coordination between the public prosecutor, the judicial police and the SIS, and the level of international cooperation with the Italian authorities, two people were arrested in Rome for alleged espionage crimes, corruption and violation of state secrecy," said a statement from the Portuguese police.

This "complex and sensitive operation"stemmed from an investigation started last year pointing to "the suspected existence of a crime of espionage by an official on behalf of a foreign intelligence service".

Russia has escalated its espionage offensive against Nato and Europe, but this is a rare incident of a face-to-face meeting between spies being uncovered. Experts will be surprised at the clumsiness of the episode, with an alleged Russian intelligence officer being caught in the act of receiving information - and not being able to claim diplomatic immunity.

Documents and an unspecified quantity of cash were also seized from Mr Carvalhão's home in Lisbon. The spy is understood to have been the subject of earlier disciplinary proceedings within SIS. He is also believed to have had relationships with several women from Eastern Europe, including Russia.

BREAKING - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Wednesday 25 May [Ukrainian sources] Empty Countries neighboring with Russia seek more protection from NATO

Wed May 25, 2016 4:31 am
NATO buildup on its eastern flank is a direct response to the Russian military campaigns in Georgia, Ukraine, and Syria.

As reported by Censor.NET, this was said by NATO Military Committee Chairman, Gen. Petr Pavel in an interview to Radio Svoboda.

According to the military official, if there were no Russian offensive demonstrated in Georgia, Ukraine, Crimea, and Syria, there would be no reaction on the part of NATO as well.

Petr Pavel said that the members of the Alliance and especially its eastern member states feel threatened by Russia's self-confidence and aggression.

Gen. Pavel stressed that the countries that border with Russia want to be more confident in NATO's presence and the Alliance's readiness to act.

The NATO Military Committee is the principal military authority in the Alliance and the main source of military advice to NATO's civilian leadership.

BREAKING - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Wednesday 25 May [Ukrainian sources] Empty Militants tried to break through defenses near Novotroitske, 33 attacks recorded yesterday

Wed May 25, 2016 4:55 am
The situation in the area of anti-terrorist operation (ATO) remains difficult. Militants keep violating all agreements on deescalation of the conflict.

Censor.NET reports citing ATO press center.

Over the past day, terrorists committed 33 attacks against Ukrainian defenders. As usual, the lion's share of such episodes occurred after dark.

"The enemy continues to intensively attack Ukrainian troops in Avdiivka's industrial area. Over the night, pro-Russian criminals employed grenade launchers, anti-aircraft guns, and 82-mm mortars. The crackle of small arms fire virtually does not subside there.

"In the Horlivka-Svitlodarsk salient, our strong points near Zaitseve and Luhanske again came under small arms and grenade launcher fire. ATO forces' positions in the vicinity of Sokilnyky (the Luhansk region) were hit with anti-tank guided missiles twice. In the same area, invaders fired grenade launchers at the defenders of Stanytsia Luhanska," the report reads.

According to the Staff, the situation at Mariupol direction was also strained. There, invaders employed grenade launchers to hit ATO forces' positions near Shyrokyne, Hranitne, and Hnutove.

In addition, at night, militants tried to break through Ukrainian defenses near Novotroitske: "With the support of IFVs, snipers, and grenade launcher fire, the enemy launched an assault. Ukrainian soldiers returned fire and destroyed an enemy IFV, forcing the attackers to retreat."

As also reported, nine passes of enemy UAVs were registered over the last 24 hours.

After midnight, illegal armed groups have used weapon four times already. In particular, small-arms and grenade launcher fire was delivered in the vicinity of Shyrokyne, Avdiivka, and Zaitseve.

BREAKING - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Wednesday 25 May [Ukrainian sources] Empty "Ivaniushchenko has strong lawyers, and they belong to ruling party," - Butusov

Wed May 25, 2016 5:17 am
Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yurii Lutsenko confirmed that Interpol's order for arrest of former Party of Regions member Yurii Ivaniushchenko, better known as Yura Yenakiyevskiy, has been canceled, but his assets remain under arrest.

This was announced by Censor.NET's Chief Editor Yurii Butusov on his Facebook page after the meeting with Prosecutor General Lutsenko on Ivaniushchenko's case.

"Yesterday I went to see Prosecutor General Yurii Lutsenko on Ivaniushchenko's case. Several TV crews arrived for a commentary. I was surprised to see Petro Poroshenko Bloc MP Oleh Nedava, who came to talk with reporters and then entered the reception of the prosecutor general. Nedava is known as vice president of Novi Tekhnolohii foundation, the president of which is Ivaniushchenko's right-hand man Ivan Avramov. He was not invited, I was told at the reception.

"Nedava was giving interviews to TV crews, saying that neither him nor Ivaniushchenko are involved, and that accusing Ivaniushchenko is illegal.

"After 10 more minutes of such communication, Nedava left the reception of Lutsenko and didn't meet the prosecutor general. I believe we have a problem similar to that in Italy. A mafia boss, who had been a private person and held no posts, signed nothing, he can easily acquire assets for his family, open bank accounts, and demand respect to himself as a citizen.

"Italians had to do a lot to improve their legislation and law enforcement system to hold mafia bosses accountable. The major problem is omerta. I said this at the meeting with Yurii Lutsenko," Butusov wrote.

"We need testimony against Ivaniushchenko. We need witnesses who will help bring the mafia bosses to justice," the journalist stressed.

"Prosecutor general has confirmed that Interpol's order for Ivaniushchenko's arrest had been indeed cancelled. But he noted that his assets are still under arrest. I will not disclose the details. I've seen that the prosecutor general knows onions in the case," Butusov noted.

"I will continue controlling the investigation. Judging from active participation of MP Nedava, Ivaniushchenko has strong lawyers. They do not belong to the Opposition Bloc, but to the ruling party. So we need public control in this case.

"I ask all businessmen who were racketeered by Ivaniushchenko, Sarkisian, Avramov - I believe this is the time for us together to restore justice. Ivaniushchenko is not a businessman or politician, he is a godfather, and no compromises regarding him are possible," Butusov summed up.

BREAKING - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Wednesday 25 May [Ukrainian sources] Empty Doping scandal may cost Moscow the 2018 World Cup, analysts say

Wed May 25, 2016 5:34 am
If as a result of the large-scale doping scandal, the International Olympic Committee votes to prevent Russian athletes from taking part in the Rio Games, then FIFA, the international football association which is obligated to follow IOC decisions, would likely strip Russia of its right to host the 2018 World Cup, two Moscow analysts say.

That would constitute a major public relations disaster for Vladimir Putin who has made the hosting of this competition the most important follow-on event to the 2014 Sochi Olympiad, and it would also eliminate one of the major channels through which he has corruptly purchased the support of key Russian elites.

Consequently, the IOC decision, which a drumbeat of recent events suggests will go against Moscow, could cast a far larger shadow than many now think and have serious repercussions in Russian politics, repercussions far larger if as yet less attended to than a ban on Russian athletes at the upcoming Olympiad.....................

BREAKING - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Wednesday 25 May [Ukrainian sources] Empty E.U. sovereignty "a bit overestimated" - Lavrov

Wed May 25, 2016 6:32 am
Moscow "a little bit overestimated" European sovereignty. Joint sanctions against Russia imposed by the E.U. and U.S. demonstrated Brussels' dependency on Washington.

This bold statement was made by Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov during his visit to Hungary.

"We want a strong European Union to cooperate with. But the truth is, its sovereignty is "a bit overestimated". Ukrainian crisis has shown how the E.U. depends on Washington politically and economically", Lavrov said in an interview with Hungarian media outlet Magyar Nemzet.

The Minister also claimed, Russia managed to stabilise its industrial production and national currency, damaged by the sanctions. And economic restrictions approved by the E.U. actually do "significant harm to Europe itself"............

BREAKING - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Wednesday 25 May [Ukrainian sources] Empty Russian poet detained for ripping down portrait of Stalin

Wed May 25, 2016 6:37 am
The OVDinfo website reports that Sergei Gandlevsky was detained on May 23 by police officers at the Lubyanka Metro station in Moscow after he ripped down a portrait of the bloody dictator Joseph Stalin stuck on a wall. He was, fortunately, released after a couple of hours without any protocol being drawn up.

Gandlevsky, a poet, prose writer and translator, explains that he ripped down the portrait of a criminal. A man standing nearby, however, came up to him and asked him what he was doing, and then disappeared. He re-emerged, together with two police officers who carted him off to a police booth within the metro. The officers were disrespectful in their behaviour and threatened to jail him for what they called ‘vandalism and petty hooliganism’.

They avoided mentioning Stalin, however, and presumably understood that even in today’s Russia, ripping down the portrait of a mass murderer, posted without permission on the metro, does not make for a good court case...................
