Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Tuesday 28 June. [Ukrainian sources]  Empty 70% of residents in rebel-held part of Donbas against union with Russia – Georgy Tuka

Tue Jun 28, 2016 11:03 am
Ukraine must send a strong message to the residents of the rebel-held part of Donbas that they can live in peace and prosperity only as part of bigger Ukraine, Deputy Minister for Occupied Territories and Displaced Persons Georgy Tuka said, Espreso TV reports June 28.

 “It is quite possible to get this message across,” the official said.

Now most of the residents in the occupied territories do not support Ukraine. Nor are they in favor of Putin’s plan to unite all Russia-speakers in Ukraine in a part dominated by Russia (the so-called ‘Russian World’), Tuka said.

Tuka also commented on the probability of elections in Donbas. No elections are feasible today or tomorrow. Ukraine first wants to restore its power in the occupied territories, control the border with Russia and let various political parties run a full-scale campaign.

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Tuesday 28 June. [Ukrainian sources]  Empty Police inhibits investigation into killing of 17 bison in Vinnytsia region, - ecologist Plyha. DOCUMENT (in Ukrainian)

Tue Jun 28, 2016 11:21 am

According to Plyha, 17 bison, which is nearly 1/10 of total bison population in Ukraine, were killed in the Vinnytsia region in February. Right after the crime, bison meat was found in several local yards.

Four months after that, Plyha wrote, no one has been punished for the crime.

According to him, the ecology administration estimated about 2 million hryvnia ($80,000) in damages and sent the materials to the Main Department of the National Police in the Vinnytsia region. However, the case has never moved forward, Plyha wrote and posted a response by the Police (in Ukrainian).

The document reads that 'investigative and procedural activities, required for full investigation of the crime' continue.

Plyha believes that as long as the meat was found in local yards, the case is being purposefully delayed in order to be subsequently closed.

As reported earlier, in late January several dozens bison got on an ice-covered river in the Vinnytsia region, where their population had been restored over the previous 10 years. Some of them might have been killed by locals, others drowned as the ice broke.

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Tuesday 28 June. [Ukrainian sources]  Empty Russia has accused the US destroyer in dangerous proximity

Tue Jun 28, 2016 12:08 pm
Russian Ministry of Defense accused the US destroyer "Greyvli" in dangerous proximity to the Russian patrol ship in the international waters of the Mediterranean, he writes of Deutsche Welle reports .

Events took place June 17 in the eastern Mediterranean. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the US destroyer approached the Russian patrol ship at a distance of 60-70 meters on the left side and crossed his path of movement at a dangerous distance of 180 meters. The Defense Ministry called it a flagrant violation of the Regulations for Preventing Collisions. The Pentagon often "blames the Russian pilots and sailors of incompetence", while "the US military seamen allow themselves to forget about the basic principles of navigation safety", - quotes the representative of the Ministry of Defense agency "Interfax".

American destroyer "Greyvli", equipped with anti-missile defense system is on duty in the Mediterranean Sea in 2013. "Yaroslav the Wise" refers to a permanent operational Russian naval compound in the Mediterranean Sea. It is designed to track submarines, as well as providing amphibious landings.

Previously, the Pentagon has repeatedly said cases of dangerous proximity to the Russian Air Force fighter aircraft of the United States . In particular, in April 2016 a Russian Su-27 made ​​a close encounter with an American aircraft over the Baltic Sea, and the bombers and the Russian military helicopter in the same simulated attack on the American destroyer. In all cases, the military command insisted in Moscow that the pilots had acted in accordance with the rules.

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Tuesday 28 June. [Ukrainian sources]  Empty Ukraine must demand compensations from Russia to pay for Donbas residents’ suffering – Adrian Karatnytsky

Tue Jun 28, 2016 1:55 pm
The Ukrainian government must pursue a more aggressive legal policy toward Russia and demand compensations to be paid to Donbas residents for the damage done by Moscow. West’s legal firms can assist Ukraine in bringing its suits to international courts, US Atlantic Council expert and ex-president of Freedom House Adrian Karatnytsky told ZIK June 28.

 “Ukraine must look for ways to integrate the occupied territories and their populace. The most important thing here is to pursue an aggressive legal policy to repay the damage done by Russia to residents of Donbas, despite the fact that many residents are not loyal to Kyiv,” Karatnytsky said.

Ukraine is to protect Donbas residents in the rebel-held territories not by reaching a compromise with Russia but by an aggressive legal policy in courts, the expert said.

That Russia does not recognize the jurisdiction of foreign courts should not stop Kyiv’s compensation suits.

 “Russia has a lot of property abroad, the Nord Stream and similar state-owned gas/oil pumping facilities. Ukraine may get some part of this property as compensations – if positive court decisions are made.

There are many western legal firms that can assist to win compensation suits in courts – for a share in compensations, for example, Adrian Karatnytsky advised.

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Tuesday 28 June. [Ukrainian sources]  Empty Hontaryeva arrested, involved in the "Savings Bank" money-Arbuzov Yanukovych?

Tue Jun 28, 2016 6:57 pm
Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Tuesday 28 June. [Ukrainian sources]  27_main

In November and December 2013, "Investment Capital Ukraine" Valeria Hontaryevoyi, on behalf arbuzivskyh non-resident companies, has acquired the "Savings Bank" currency treasury bonds worth over 10 bln. UAH

Two years passed since then, as a means of "family" Yanukovych placed a number of Ukrainian banks have been "frozen". July 13 Kyiv Pechersk court decided to arrest 14 accounts of Cypriot companies in the Savings Bank, Ukrgasbank, Ukreximbank, Expobank and Fidobank. Prosecutors believed that all they have to do with the former National Bank Chairman Serhiy Arbuzov. In the accounts were blocked foreign and domestic bond loan (government bonds) worth about 1.02 billion. Dollars. and 1.5 bln. UAH.

Two years Ukrainian politicians argue about how to return the money to the state. Meanwhile, government bonds continue to bring income to their owners - Securities paid coupon. According to the Secretary of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security and Defence John Vinnik, by the end of this year will approach maturity more of the bonds, and the total amount of funds in bank accounts arbuzivskyh companies will make 37 bn. UAH. According to the deputy Tetyana Chornovil, currently two-thirds of the bonds are repaid, ie, it is "real money." Turn to the state budget funds and send them to finance military representatives of the faction "Popular Front" trying using the bill №4811. However, having reconciliation in the Committee on National Security and Defence document on June 16 was not on the agenda. Victoria Syumar People's Deputy said that at the session hall there are many MPs who want to repay Yanukovych, not to give money to the army.

One way or another, but is becoming increasingly clear that in the history of means "family" Yanukovych have any risks to representatives of the current government. But what? Available edition were sensational documents that might explain a lot.

"Cupola" publishes a table of data transactions on the Exchange "Perspective", held by "Investment Capital Ukraine» (ICU) for its customers during November - December 2013. In total, during this period ICU bought the "Savings Bank" currency bonds issued by the Ministry of Finance, totaling $ 10.7 billion. USD.

The names of these same companies we find in the already mentioned decision of the Pechersk court for the arrest of assets "family" Yanukovych. All are involved in criminal proceedings number 42014000000000359 opened Prosecutor General's Office.

ICU served arbuzivski non-resident company as Chairman of the Board of Directors was present head of the NBU Valery Hontaryeva. At that time she was also co-owner of the investment company. And this can not but cause a number of issues that are required to answer Hontaryeva itself, its partners and representatives of the Prosecutor General ICU. Obviously, the money Yanukovych Ukrainian banks - is only "the tip of the iceberg." And people who helped "family" to the legalization of capital, will be able to provide information which is hidden funds the former president.
