European human rights chief cancels Russia visit, citing "unacceptable restrictions" to program

Council of Europe's Commissioner for Human Rights Nils Muiznieks has announced that this visit to Russia will not take place because of the unacceptable restrictions that the Russian authorities wanted to impose on his program.

"A key element of my work is that I treat all countries by the same standards. Accepting the special conditions requested by the Russian authorities would have been unjust as a matter of principle and ineffective for the protection of human rights in the Russian Federation," Muiznieks said in a statement.

"In particular, the proposed restriction of the visit to approximately 48 hours in Moscow alone, with only one full working day, would have not allowed sufficient time to carry out a substantive country visit as I do in all Council of Europe member states, where I meet the authorities, national human rights institutions, civil society, and other relevant interlocutors, and I visit places of human rights relevance including outside the capital," the official said...........

Hollande insists Putin talks must concentrate on Allepo bombing – Putin says no deal

Vladimir Putin will not visit Paris next week after declining to meet François Hollande solely for talks on Syria, a source in the French president’s office has said, in the latest deterioration of ties between Moscow and the west.

French officials have been looking for ways to put pressure on Russia after Moscow vetoed a French-drafted UN security council resolution on Syria. Their growing anger at what has been taking place in the rebel-held areas of Aleppo had led them to reconsider whether to host Putin on 19 October.

“There were contacts between the Kremlin and the Élysée this morning to offer to Putin a working visit on Syria, but excluding all other events that president Hollande could have taken part in,” the source said. “In response to this proposal, Russia has just indicated that it wants to postpone the visit.”.....

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Tuesday 11 October. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Trump playing part of Putin's lawyer, - The Washington Post

Trump playing part of Putin's lawyer, - The Washington Post

Hillary Clinton has all reasons to be alarmed by the U.S. intelligence report on Russia's attempts "to interfere with the U.S. election process” through the hacking of political organizations and individuals.

Censor.NET reports referring to an editorial in The Washington Post.

As the Post reports, Donald Trump has once again played the part of Vladi­mir Putin's lawyer.

"She doesn't know if it's the Russians doing the hacking," he said of Clinton. "Maybe there is no hacking."

The article states that Trump is receiving classified intelligence briefings, so he is certainly aware of the evidence that hackers backed by Moscow have stolen email and other records from the DNC and tried to penetrate state electoral systems.

The leaks traced to Russia through the WikiLeaks website have been aimed at Clinton, according to the editorial.

"In Sunday's debate, Mr. Trump reeled off a series of false statements about Russia's intervention in Syria," the publication notes.

"I think it would be great if we got along with Russia because we could fight ISIS together," Trump observed.

"Here's what we don't know: Does Mr. Trump propose this collaboration with a regime obsessed with thwarting and weakening American power out of ignorance and naivete, or because of personal and business interests he has not disclosed? Mr. Putin surely knows the answer to that question - but U.S. voters do not," the article concludes.

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Tuesday 11 October. [Ukrainian sources] Empty The Washington Post debunked five myths about Russia

Tue Oct 11, 2016 8:19 am
The Washington Post debunked five myths about Russia

The publication analyzed whether Putin made Russia great and is actually so much people love Russian President

Publication of The Washington Post published an article that talks about the major Western myths about Russia and its debunking. In particular, refuted five theses on Russia.

Myth 1: "Russia is trying to give the US elections Donald Trump."

"It's less a myth than a conspiracy theory - says the publication. - Like most conspiracy theories, [this version] begins with the facts, which then joined imaginary connections ". "The truth is that Putin would like to become a president who is anything but Hillary Clinton - says the author.

Trump evidence of ties with Moscow a little. A much more serious look at cyber Democratic National Committee and election systems in which the Obama administration formally accuses Russia. But these actions fit into the Russian behavior over the world. For example, in 2007 for her performance temporarily lost the government of Estonia. "The aim of these attacks - undermining the election, but not necessarily in the interest of Trump," - says the publication.

Myth 2: "Putin has made Russia great again"

"Ordinary Russian is much richer than 20 years ago, but poorer than five years ago or even two years ago, when oil prices are rising and falling, not obeying Putin was at its peak," - the article says .

Thus, "although difficult to obtain reliable statistics, it seems that Russia has one of the highest per cent of homicides in the world, and these indicators have not improved, even when nalahodzhuvalasya economic situation. Loud killings of politicians, journalists and businessmen - and at least one of them British investigators directly linked with Putin - does not cause a sense of security. "

Myth 3: "The vast majority of Russians support Putin's policies"

Rating of Putin, who has reached 90% after the annexation of the Crimea, really high and now stands at about 82% .

"However, the Russians did not approve of the work of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev (his current disapproval rating is 51%), its cabinet (55%) and parliament (62%). All three [political units] are only for the legalization of Kremlin policy, which goes directly to Putin. The majority of Russians also recognized that the future is in their pessimism - referred to in the article. - How to explain this discrepancy? Citizens of restless, anxious and want to identify with a symbolic leader or business. They support Putin because he did not leave them a choice. "

Myth 4: "Russian society holds conservative values"

"Putin has criticized the West for" denial of moral principles and traditional identities ", positioning Russia as a defender of traditional values ​​- like the author. - The Russian government sought publication of the law of morality. His most desperate endeavors in this area - a ban "homosexual propaganda" and adoption of children by people from countries where same-sex marriages are allowed. As a result, Russia has become a beacon for the angry far-right extremists from around the world, which draws its apparent traditionalism. "

"These extremists can wait disappointment," - says the publication also cites statistics about the attitude of Russians to various social problems. More than half of Russians do not see anything wrong with premarital sex, a quarter - of adultery. Overall, 20% of the population believe that the government should take action against abortion, while 40% of Americans want to keep abortion outlawed. "

"The Putin government is selling the country a vague vision of an imaginary past and traditional enemies, who are likely to threaten him. Enemies can be LGBT today, tomorrow - Ukrainian, the next day - Americans. And while people struggling with these enemies, Putin remains in power ", - says the publication.

Myth 5: "Russian politics - mainly a reaction to the behavior of the West"

American leftists believe that the US showed its insensitivity to Russia of aggression, the American right - that the cause is excessive softness of America, said in the article. Putin actually motivated by a desire to expand to and stay in power, says the publication. "None of these factors has nothing to do with the US, despite the Russian habit to blame America for their problems," - said in the article.

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Tuesday 11 October. [Ukrainian sources] Empty US' intention to impose sanctions over Russian-orchestrated hacker attacks is provocation, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Krutskikh says

Tue Oct 11, 2016 5:04 pm
US' intention to impose sanctions over Russian-orchestrated hacker attacks is provocation, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Krutskikh says

The threats to impose sanctions against Russia for cyber-attacks voiced by the U.S. are a “provocation and nonsense.”

As reported by Censor.NET citing Tass news agency, this was stated by Russian President's Special Envoy, Ambassador at Large of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Andrey Krutskikh.

"The Russian authorities are in charge of taking decisions as for how to respond to the provocations. It is clear that all provocations will meet with response. We have our own leverage. Another thing that it is not our choice," he said.

"We consider all these initiatives of individual senators to be nonsense and provocation. All these charges are unsubstantiated. We have received no statements or notes through formal channels," the official stressed.

"All of this suggests that the Americans fan [tensions] for the domestic audience. There is no other explanation, because if they have really been committed to resolve, clarify something, they would have used the appropriate existing mechanisms," Krutskikh noted.

However, according to him, "the Americans are reluctant to slow down in bringing charges." "It depends on them how long they will keep accelerating and whether they will remember to slow down making sharp turns. But most importantly, this dangerous driving worsens the political climate," the official added.

Krutskikh stressed the need to reach agreements in this field. "After all, if the cybersphere is so vulnerable that there are plenty of disguised threats, it is necessary to talk to the other party but not engage in unilateral accusations," he said.

As reported, on Oct. 8, Republican Senator Cory Gardner, chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on East Asia, the Pacific and International Cybersecurity, said he planned to introduce sanctions legislation to counter Russian cyber-attacks.

British lawmaker likens Russia's behavior in Syria to that of Nazis – Reuters

A senior British lawmaker has accused Russia of targeting civilians in Syria in the same way the Nazis behaved at Guernica during the Spanish civil war of the 1930s, according to Reuters

Andrew Mitchell, a lawmaker in Prime Minister Theresa May's ruling Conservatives and a former Secretary of State for International Development, said an attack last month on a United Nations relief convoy near the northern Syrian city of Aleppo was a war crime committed by Russian forces, Reuters said. Some 20 people were killed in the attack on the U.N. and Syrian Arab Red Crescent convoy and the United States blamed two Russian warplanes which it said were in the skies above the area at the time of the incident. Moscow rejects the accusations saying it only targets militants and accuses the West of being responsible for the crisis in Syria. "When it comes to incendiary weapons and munitions such as bunker-buster bombs and cluster bombs, the U.N. makes it clear that the systematic use of such indiscriminate weapons in densely populated areas amounts to a war crime," Mitchell told parliament late on Monday...................
