Patriarch Kirill Visits Britain Amid Tense Russia-U.K. Relations

Ukrainian - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 15 October. [Ukrainian sources] 4e1bbcd2-bb7c-2d2d

The head of Russia's Orthodox Church begins a four-day visit to Britain on October 15 that includes an audience with Queen Elizabeth II.

But the visit of Patriarch Kirill has provoked some resistance because of his strong support for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Patriarch Kirill is set to be in London to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the establishment of the Russian Orthodox Church in Britain. The main purpose of the trip is to meet with his congregation, but he also will visit with Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby and see the queen at Buckingham Palace.

The visit will make Kirill the first Russian Orthodox Church patriarch to visit Britain. He will hold a number of prayer services and blessings at various Russian Orthodox sites.

The audience with the queen is being questioned, especially in light of British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson's charge this week that Russia risks becoming a "pariah nation" because of its aggression in Syria and Ukraine...

Ukrainian - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 15 October. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Putin likely to expand Russian invasion of Ukraine in January

Sat Oct 15, 2016 10:01 am
Putin likely to expand Russian invasion of Ukraine in January

Rumors and fears about the possibility of a third world war between Russia and the West have become so overwhelming that many have begun to forget that Vladimir Putin is still involved in an aggressive war in Ukraine and that it is far more likely that he will expand that conflict than that he will risk a nuclear exchange with the West.

The ceasefire in eastern Ukraine is anything but holding, and consequently, it is useful to consider what Putin, the Russian military and the Moscow-controlled hybrid troops in the occupied portions of Ukraine, including Crimea, might do next lest Ukraine get lost in the noise of Moscow’s rhetoric about World War III.

"Opposite the areas controlled by Ukraine, Moscow has been forming a tank army consisting of two corps under Russian command. That is a major change from “’the Cossacks and brigands’” who were there before. This is “now something quite serious” that Kyiv and the West need to take into consideration."

"“the number of tactical battalion groups in these fall months will be sharply increased from 66 to 96. In the course of 2017, they will increase further to 115 and by 2018 to 125 — that is twice as many as now.”"

"In the course of a new round of aggression, Russia is unlikely to choose Mariupol as its goal. Laying siege to that city, he says, would be “a long, bloody and difficult story because it is already prepared for defense. But Odesa is not very well prepared, nor are Kherson and Mykolaiv.".............

When asked if the American public will know a message was sent, the vice president replied, "Hope not."

As reported earlier, the U.S. government formally accused Russia for the first time of cyber attacks campaign against Democratic Party organizations ahead of the Nov. 8 presidential election.

Kremlin as usual refuses to admit its involvement into the attacks. Moreover, a Kremlin spokesman called the U.S. allegations "nonsense".

Ukrainian - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 15 October. [Ukrainian sources] Empty "Battles at Mariupol became hottest spot since Oct.8"

Sat Oct 15, 2016 10:13 am
"Battles at Mariupol became hottest spot since Oct.8"

“Intensification of fighting near Mariupol (the Donetsk region) reported in the anti-terrorist operation (ATO) area.

Censor.NET Chief editor Yurii Butusov wrote on Facebook.

"Battles at Mariupol became the hottest spot of the forefront since Oct. 8", he wrote.

"In order to prevent rumors I must say: Ukrainian units continue to give an adequate rebuff to the Russian occupational troops in this area. The situation is under control, and our army is active. The enemy, which is the 9th Motorized rifle regiment of the 1st army corps of the Armed Forces of Russian Federation, takes serious losses in the Donbas. This Russian regiment is responsible for the territory that includes Kominternove, Dzerzhynsk, Leninske, Sakhanka, Vodiane, Shyrokyne. Thus, the regiment provides seaside flank of the enemy's front. Russian commandment decided to consolidate in these locations, though our army won't give the enemy the opportunity to expand the 'gray zone'", Butusov wrote.

"The nature of the fighting is the harassing actions to improve the tactical positions. Ukrainian units try not to lose the initiative. The worsening of the situation occurred on October 8, when our patrol confronted an enemy rading group near the village of Leninske. Two enemy militants were killed, one sniper was captured", the journalist added.

"As a result of this battle, 'the 1st corps' started attempts to knock our units from the suburbs of the Leninske and Kominternove. This has led to more active exchanges of fire", he wrote.

Ukrainian - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 15 October. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Russia preparing for war in the media but not in the budget, Moscow commentators say

Sat Oct 15, 2016 10:16 am
Russia preparing for war in the media but not in the budget, Moscow commentators say

The Moscow media are filled with stories suggesting that Russia is preparing for war, but a close examination of the Russian government budget calls that conclusion into question, leaving open an even larger one: will this media firestorm lead to a real one or will it burn out of its own accord?

Anyone who has followed the news from Moscow over the last several weeks, the Meduza portal notes, has to conclude that “Russia is preparing for war. The newspapers and television channels are talking about sudden checks of the military and military exercises … the construction and location of bomb shelters … and rations … in the event of military action.”

But a close examination of the Russian state budget, Ekaterina Schulmann of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration says, shows that

“Spending on defense is not growing but declining.” What is growing is spending for agencies that can suppress “domestic disorders.”

“If someone thinks that we are preparing for a world war,” Schulmann says, “this isn’t visible” from the budget. “If we are preparing for something, then it is for some kind of internal disorders. We intend to feed our defense ministry a little less and to feed out special services and interior force structures more,” at least judging from the budget.

But can what is going on in the media lead to something real, can the war on television become a war in reality? That is a question Moscow commentator Oleg Kashin addresses because he says if the current situation were a movie, the news would be a leading indicator.................

That's what freedom's all about, Putin. Something you don't allow in your country. Of course, this is all Putin BS. He CAN'T stand it, he can't get a grip on Ukrainians as he can in his country. He feels his powers aren't what he wants to have, over other populations. So he's so afraid now of the U.S. facing up to his threats that he's going to go and cry to the UN about the threats the U.S. has put forward. He must be feeling VERY small by now. Bring it on Putin. It'll be your last move, дурити.

Ukrainian - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 15 October. [Ukrainian sources] Empty "Masquerade finished": Poroshenko revealed the secret plan of Putin's Donbas

Sat Oct 15, 2016 6:36 pm
"Masquerade finished": Poroshenko revealed the secret plan of Putin's Donbas

The president of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin there secrets about A plan for the East of Ukraine, the Kremlin Kotor razvyazaly vooruzhennыy conflict.

This was a nemetskoy articles for the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung wrote the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, writes YnoSMY.

Putins Strategy at Donbas

Despite the ceasefire, dated to the beginning of the school year, for a short period of time, just a month and a half in the battle with the Russian "green men" and their mercenaries in the Donbas 19 of my soldiers and over a hundred injured were killed. More than 800 times Russian shelling took place in September and this month there were more than 500.

The war continues to rage, and there is ample evidence that the Minsk process stumbles on the eternal Russian masquerade. It is time to adjust our view of Russia's intentions, as they pose a threat not only for Ukraine but also for security and stability in Europe.

Just a few years ago I did not believe that Russia could commit aggression against a friendly neighbor, what once was, and Ukraine. Even after the Russian military operation in Georgia, many believed in the Kremlin's return to the post-war order based on rules rather than power.

Russia is trying to repeat the Crimean scenario in the Donbas

Then I was among those people who just thought so, but my present perception of today's Russia, the other - it is in a moment it was called into question when the Kremlin ordered the first to carry out the annexation of the Crimea, and then makes a military attack to the east of my country. The Kremlin gave a masquerade with the participation of "little green men" on the peninsula, and then entered the Donbas, although stated: "We are not there." But the truth soon became public, and it happened after President Putin himself acknowledged that the Russian soldiers were standing behind the voter in the Crimea, to protect them during the referendum.

It is obvious that these soldiers had to defend not the voters, and voting and falsified results. And does not it seem familiar today Russia's actions when she tries to repeat this scenario in the Donbas, insisting above all on a political solution and on local elections? Is it not clear that the pro-Russian mercenaries are in Donbas to another part of Ukrainian territory was a victim of the Kremlin's aggression? Or someone still believes that there are no Russian soldiers?

The Kremlin has denied its involvement

We must not again fall into the same trap, and console themselves with empty assurances from the Russian side. They are just as poisoned as her manipulation. According to the Ukrainian special services in the Donbas are currently more than 700 Russian tanks, over 1,250 guns, more than 1,000 armored vehicles and more than 300 multiple launch rocket systems. Pro-Russian militants in the Donbass, in the literal sense, have more tanks and more MRLS than the German Bundeswehr.

However, these data do not interfere with the Kremlin denied its involvement in the Donbas, as was done in the case of the Crimea. Without Russia there could not be such a huge military potential. He appeared uninvited in my country, and it has no purpose other than intimidation and murder. This military potential should make the Donbas (and Ukraine) as long to bleed to death, as his wish to master.

Russia enters the Western public misled

This denial has long been put to the service of the Russian appetites. Recently in the Netherlands have been published the preliminary results of an international investigation into the incident with the downed airliner MH17. This tragedy, which killed 298 innocent people, including 80 children, took place in July 2014 in the skies over the Donbas, outside the control zone of the Ukrainian authorities. Russian disinformation machine produces a ton of theories invented to mislead the Western public - in Moscow spoke about the Ukrainian combat aircraft Su-25, who allegedly shot down an airliner MH17, as well as Ukrainian, not Russian air defense missiles.

After a fair and thorough investigation is now proved that it was the Russian rocket was launched from the "Buck" Russian installations. It was delivered to Ukraine, and immediately after committing a shocking crime came back. we heard any word of regret after disclosure of revealing information, in addition to their denial - of alleged "politically motivated" - and call the Dutch ambassador in Moscow?

The true intentions of Russia

It is extremely important that the investigation for the downed airliner MH17 revealed the following: the notorious plant "Buk" on the way back to Russia, crossed the uncontrolled part of the border. This fact confirms the crucial border controls for a comprehensive settlement in the Donbas - and on this for a long time insisted Ukraine. What other Russian military equipment could be Ukraine, not being seen by the Ukrainian authorities and international observers? Is it because Russia prevents the full access of representatives of the OSCE mission to the border of our state and the entire Donbass, which she wants to keep its infiltration channels for the supply of military equipment and personnel?

We must finally cease to be as naive in regard to Russia's intentions, whatever was in 2008 and even in 2014-2015. Moscow does not feel any desire to stop their aggression, and only together, we can stop it. Deception and manipulation are effective only in the absence of solidarity and foresight. Therefore we need and solidarity, and vision, as well as sanctions, which have to act until they are restored to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. They keep Russia at the negotiating table and prevent the loss of many more lives.

We must make every effort to again and again to expose the Russian masquerade, where it would not suit you - whether it be in the Donbas or in Aleppo. That is how we can still try to convince Russia of the need to respect the post-war order. Donbass can become an example and get people to stop acting as if they do not notice a masquerade Russian aggression in Ukraine, and then we can prevent him from spread to the whole world.

Ukrainian - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 15 October. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Putin postpones visit to France amid diplomatic tensions

Sat Oct 15, 2016 6:53 pm
Putin postpones visit to France amid diplomatic tensions

Russian President Vladimir Putin has indefinitely postponed a trip to France after Paris had revised its program for the visit and said it would talk about nothing else but the Syrian crisis.

French President Francois Hollande said Tuesday that Putin put off his visit set for next week after Hollande let him know he wouldn't take part in the opening of a new Russian Orthodox church and was only interested in talks about Syria.

Over the weekend, Russia blocked a U.N. Security Council resolution proposed by France and Spain on ending the hostilities in the war-torn country, blaming Paris for the refusal to discuss a compromise version. And on Monday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault called on the International Criminal Court to investigate Russia for possible war crimes in Syria.

"France has a major disagreement with Russia over Syria," Hollande said. "And the Russian veto to the French resolution at the U.N. council has prevented the cessation of the bombings, as well as the proclamation of a cease-fire."

At the same time, he added that he believes that a dialogue with Russia is essential for ending the massacre.

"The main victims are the civilians who live and die under the bombs," Hollande said. "That's the reason why I consider that a dialogue with Russia is necessary. But it should be firm and open. Otherwise ... it's a mockery."

Putin's trip to Paris, which was planned for next Tuesday, was due to take in the opening of a new Orthodox church next to the Eiffel Tower along with a Russian cultural center and an exhibition, but the French side had revised the program, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"Regrettably, those events dropped out of the program," Peskov said, saying it's up to the French side to explain the reason.

Peskov said that Putin could visit France at a later date which would be "comfortable" for Hollande.

He denied that the cancellation of Putin's visit to France reflected a growing international isolation of Moscow over its actions in Syria, where Russian warplanes have supported the Syrian army offensive on Aleppo.

"Russia and its president aren't facing anything of the kind," Peskov said.

Piontkovsky: The UN Security Council functioned once in a lifetime

To veto UN resolution on Syria, Russia won the right to destroy the city of Aleppo in Syria, however, alienated public opinion around the world, said the Russian journalist Andrei Piontkovsky.

UN Security Council for 70 years, was able to fully work only once. This was on the program "The theme of the day," said the Russian historian and publicist Andrei Piontkovsky.

"The UN Security Council functioned once in a lifetime in 1950, when foolishly Soviet delegation boycotted the Security Council meeting to protest against Chiang representative Kai-shek in place a permanent Chinese member. And at that time adopted a resolution on the establishment of the UN troops, who had to reflect North Korean aggression ", - he said.

Since then, the debate in the UN Security Council veto ends of the opposing sides, said the historian.

"But now Russian veto, the first one! This is the fifth already a resolution on Syria in the last two years. Four times with us put a veto and China. At this time, China has wisely stepped aside, so that the only culprit that all world public opinion outraged calls war crimes in Syria, and above all, in Aleppo is the sole responsibility of Russia ", -. Piontskovsky stressed.

The historian noted that Russia has achieved its veto their right "to destroy Aleppo to the last inhabitant" with the head of Syria Bashar al-Assad. Now, however, she had to decide what to do next, because the destruction of Aleppo show on the screens of all world countries.

"On the one hand, to continue their show-off, go to the end and on the other -. It is clear what the public opinion, in spite of all the conventions of the term, 2 months of this genre in the spirit of horror movies will not stand, and even the government of Barack Obama will have to somehow response. And then what? " - Wondered Piontkovsky.
According to the historian, every US president except Obama, under pressure of public opinion would be imposed no-fly zone in Syria and began to bombard Syrian aircraft and air defense units, giving Putin an opportunity to raise "in this crazy poker" bet defending Assad.

"Despite all the show-off in Moscow know where to stay and are not interested in such an escalation" - suggested Piontkovsky.

Russian blogger Varlamov: The third world war has already begun. This is a war for brains. And we are losing

The Third World War - it's not radioactive ash and space lasers, and the competition between the countries for the best minds, writes Russian blogger Ilya Varlamov in an article entitled "Why Russia will lose the US war." According to Varlamov, no future Elon Musk or Steve Jobs does not want to open a new project in Russia because "in a moment everything can cover crazy ghoul from the FSB." The publication "GORDON" publish material without cuts.

Before the war were over territory, in the XX century fought mainly over resources, in the XXI century war for brains. And the war of the XXI century, we are losing. Let's be honest: it does not matter, he returned to his native Crimea harbor or not. Whether Putin will give the Kuril Islands, or not give. Even if tomorrow we will return to Alaska, nothing is globally will not change. As the recent crisis has shown, oil and other resources is also not so important. Well, a lot of our resources, what? What should I do with them? Bread oil smear? And prices have fallen - and all at once Ass. Once the budget is bursting, all sad just go and scratch turnip.

But the world is Singapore, almost the size of a Moscow. The economy is one of the most open and free from corruption, holds leading positions in the rankings of economic freedom. The country has maintained stable prices, and the GDP per capita - one of the highest in the world. Resources and territories not at all. Even fresh water bought in Malaysia. But the standard of living of the local is very decent. Besides local people from all over the world go there to work. And there is Japan, not the biggest and rich in resources country in the world. Size as the Tomsk region. But one of the strongest economies in the world. Most recently was the second after the United States. The best technique, excellent cars. Well, you all know, what I'm going to tell?.......................

Ukrainian - Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Saturday 15 October. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Putin is not ready to start a major offensive operations in the Donbass - Chornovil

Sat Oct 15, 2016 10:10 pm
Putin is not ready to start a major offensive operations in the Donbass - Chornovil

Russian President Vladimir Putin is not ready for major offensive operations in eastern Ukraine, but intensify tension in the region. This opinion was expressed in the comments UNN former MP of Ukraine Taras Chornovil.

"Go to any offensive major operations in Ukraine, he is clearly not ready. Here he is the main actor, not any there separatists. But tensions about to raise it to be. Generally about Ukraine, it has, among other things, an individual plan . It is about can be treated as a war of attrition, a war to destabilize, "- he said.

According T.Chornovola, Russian President Putin is absolutely beneficial to go to a real peace process in the Donbas even under the Minsk agreements.

"It is not necessary. Because he needs one of two things: either stick us these areas to ensure that they disintegrated in Ukraine since the middle of some there federative rights to everything else, with elections by their rules, or the second option - a keep constant tension and instability. While the first (option - ed.) does not pass, we gave him. There is a second - a constant destabilization, tension. this is against the background of Syria "- said the expert.

However, according to Chornovil, given the current situation in the Donbass, and especially the recent actions of Russia in Syria, pressure from the West, including key EU countries will increase in our northern neighbor.
"Direction of pressure will sylnishaty. And the attitude to Russia will be tougher ... very quiet, loyal tuned to it (in Russia - ed.) Leaders like Steinmeier whether Herault (German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Foreign Minister of France Jean-Marc Ayrault - ed.), a very tough start to make statements. But Hérault generally speaks in plain text, which is clearly things need to be qualified as war crimes, and that France will appeal to the Hague Tribunal on this matter and others. Steinmeier, formerly pressed Ukraine on the need to accelerate the holding of elections in the Donbas, plain text corresponds to PACE on the issue and said that such there (in the Donbas - ed.) security situation that soon all of elections can also be no question, "- said expert.

Another trump card for us, says Chornovil, is the latest PACE resolution on Ukraine.

"Adopted a resolution that Ukraine is very beneficial ... We need it because it is for us to disappear for six months a major factor in US support. There will election, then vstupannya the post of new president. Until they sort out other issues, including with Syria only when it comes to the right to Ukraine. That these six months we have caught alone with the EU. a European Union recently to have put very stringent requirements ... That is the solution we provide six months, when we have a real serious support from the United States. And it actually provoked their actions Putin "- summed up the expert.
