Russian tanks and a new crack-down on independent media in occupied Crimea
08.08.16 | Halya Coynash
http://khpg.org/en/index.php?id=1470607451
The latest escalation in Russia’s information blockade of occupied Crimea last week may, as suggested, be due to zeal by de facto prosecutor Natalya Poklonskaya and her team of zealous ‘extremism’-hunters. The move does, however, seem potentially more sinister following Russia’s closure on Sunday morning of all crossing points between mainland Ukraine and occupied Crimea and unsubstantiated reports of a ‘battle’ or attack by Ukrainians on Russian soldiers. Apparent attempts to blame the physical blockade on Ukraine seemed especially implausible given the huge amount of military technology which Russia had transported into Crimea the day before. ....

Washington Post: Advisor Trump has business with Russia

American publication wrote about the incompetence and propensity to avtoreklamy Trump advisor in international affairs

Donald Trump Advisor for Foreign Policy Paige Carter, who caused a shock in America for its pro-Russian and anti-American statements, has business ties with Russia.

This writes the Washington Post.

At the meeting, experts in foreign policy at the beginning of June, he spoke very positively about the president of Russia. Month Paige was in Moscow and in his speech, sharply criticized American policy toward Russia and other countries.

He said the US and other Western countries "impede potential progress" independent states that during the Cold War were part of the Soviet Union, this is because "hypocritical focus on issues such as democracy."

In February 2015 Paige spoke critically about sanctions against Russia, which appointed the US and EU after the annexation of the Crimea and eastern Ukraine in advance.

Page - a graduate of the Naval Academy, he worked in intelligence, holds a degree in business. In 2004 he moved to Moscow, where he worked in the department of investment bank Merrill Lynch. Then contacted Ґazpromom, bought shares ґazpromivskoyi company that operates oil and gas near Sakhalin. He founded the investment firm Global Energy Capital. In an interview with «Bloomberg News Page» Paige admitted having Ґazpromu shares and their value reflected sanctions imposed against Russia.

Paige defended the Russian oligarch, the head of Rosneft, Putin's close associates - Igor Syechyna, which came under santsiyi, banning entry to the US and banning business contacts with US companies. Paige said that Syechyn "made in the last ten years more to improve relations US and Russia than anyone else."

Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff of the Commission on the Intelligence of the House of Representatives said that Russia's relations advisers to Republican White House candidate Donald Trump "show that the Kremlin reaches its tentacles to election headquarters Trump."

Georgia - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Monday 08 August. [Ukrainian sources]  Empty Journalist Bochkala leaves Inter TV channel following scandal over published e-mails between “DPR” terrorists

Mon Aug 08, 2016 8:40 am
Journalist Bochkala leaves Inter TV channel following scandal over published e-mails between “DPR” terrorists

Roman Bochkala resigned from his job as journalist for Inter TV channel after the scandal that sparked over recently published correspondence between the TV channel employees and terrorists.

He wrote on Facebook, Censor.NET reports.

"That's it. The badge has been handed over; the exit check list has been completed. I'm leaving Inter TV channel. These were the most interesting eight years of my life. But the new challenges and projects are ahead," he wrote.

Georgia - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Monday 08 August. [Ukrainian sources]  640x854

Earlier, the correspondence between employee of "DPR Ministry of Public Security" Tatiana Yegorova and representatives of Ukraine's Inter and Donbass TV channels leaked online. In one of the e-mails, a certain Masha, the alleged employee of Inter TV channel (most probably, ex-Creative Producer of Inter's "Podrobytsi Tyznhia" news show Maria Stolyarova is meant), offered apology for the fact that the "DPR" militants were called terrorists on air of the news show. She noted that journalist Bochkala was punished for using such a definition.

In turn, Roman Bochkala gave comment on the correspondence to Glavred: "I cannot take these e-mails for granted. However, judging by the names and e-mail addresses, I assume that the correspondence actually took place. But if it comes to the fact that I was allegedly punished for the word "terrorist" that, as far as I understood, I had used in my story, that's not the case. However, I guess that my leadership got bawled out for my high-quality story. They were outraged by it, and apparently covered themselves in front of their supervisors saying that I was punished. Again, they didn't do it," he commented.

Mon Aug 08, 2016 3:09 pm
Russia continues frantic pace to increase budget deficit

The budget deficit of the year increased by a third

The budget deficit since the beginning of 2016 amounted to more than a trillion rubles, which is 35 percent higher than the same period last year. This follows from the data of the Federal Treasury of the country.

Most - about two and a half trillion rubles - Russian authorities spent on social policy, the same amount - for national defense, national security and law enforcement. This education was allocated 350 billion rubles, on health care - 260.

Despite the data of the Federal Treasury of the Russian budget deficit growing, the Central Bank of Russia said on Monday that the economy in the coming months can go "on the path of slow growth in the absence of external shocks."

As you know, in early August, experts Russian Higher School of Economics said that many industries in Russia are in the negative, and a sharp decrease in oil revenue threatens the exhaustion of the Reserve Fund of the country before the end of this year. The report also noted the continuing fall in domestic demand in Russia and came to the conclusion that talk about any economic recovery in the country soon.

Now he wants China to be included, but won't ask the US to take part. We all know what side China will take, especially after recent talks they've been having together. Seems they're itching to end this, due to how much they're hurting financially and need a quick resolution. The longer this conflict drags out the worse it gets for them. And this request from them is mainly for Ukraine and doesn't include Syria, which they're deeply involved and it's also costing them big. A lot of overall pressure piling up on Putin and company.

IMO, Ukraine won't bow to their demands to make peace, as we all know what their request from Ukraine will be. As far as I've seen, Ukraine hasn't budged to their demands. Still adhering to the Minsk agreement. No foreign troops or military equipment, including putting down their arms BEFORE an election takes place, for starters. And Ukraine have stood stern on that.

Russia's deficit is in the tank, GDP is at its historical worse at over $1 trillion. Putin's losing his support which is the BIGGEST threat for him to keep his thrown. His economy's losing badly, day-by-day. He needs to make a move very soon to stop the bleeding as more and more Russians suffering from his making. Some have brought up a possible end a-la Khadafy. If things get worse, it might just end-up like that, but as we see lately, he's past a law that law enforcement can shoot to kill with protesters. Does he smell it coming to where he's made some really outrageous changes to Russia's laws. That what it seems like. Now the increasing of his positions in the Crimean and Russian western borders seems he's preparing for something big. And believe me, the west does know what's going on. Are they waiting to see how much he's bluffing, OR is it his plans to make a big move as he's run out of resources and patients with nobody he wants to not bowing to him? Seems the time for his decision is too uncomfortably near.
