Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Monday 26 December. [Ukrainian sources] Empty TU-154 crashed due to terrorist attack – Yevhen Marchuk

TU-154 crashed due to terrorist attack – Yevhen Marchuk

Ukraine’s ex-defense minister Yevhen Marchuk believes the Russian TU-154 plane crashed due to a bomb on board, Marchuk wrote in Facebook Dec. 25, Ukrinform reported.

 “If the communication ceased abruptly simultaneously with the disappearance of the plane from radar screens, it means the entire crew of 8 pilots died at once.

It also means the blast occurred close to the nose part of the plane, killing the crew, or the plane fell apart due to some other reasons, “Marchuk writes.

If the plane started to break up due to technical reasons, the crew has some seconds to report the accident, Marchuk says.

 “It will be easy to find the planes ‘red boxes’ as they emit signals for 30 days, even at the depth of 1 km. The sea is 70 m deep in the area of the crash.

It is a matter of guesswork whether the Russians will disclose the whole truth,” Marchuk says.

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry comments on UN Israel vote

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry commented on the position of the Ukrainian delegation during the UN Security Council vote on the situation in the Middle East.

Ukraine was among the 14 Security Council members who voted on Friday for Resolution 2334, which declared that Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem have "no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-state solution and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace."

The United States abstained, allowing the resolution to pass, and drawing the indignation of Israeli officials.

"Over the years Ukraine has adhered to the consistent and balanced position on the issue of Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We stand for the peaceful coexistence of two independent States – Israel and Palestine. The settlement of the conflict must be carried out only through peaceful means," MFA of Ukraine said in a statement..............

Russia Tu-154 Crash: Possible causes named

Russian Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov said pilot error or a technical fault were likely to blame for the crash of a Russian Tu-154 carrying 92 passengers and crew. Sokolov added that terrorism was not "among the main versions" of the possible causes of the crash.

He reiterated that it was premature to make any conclusions, and the aircraft's black boxes had yet to be found.

The military plane crashed into the Black Sea on its way from the southern Russian city of Sochi to Syria's Latakia on December 25. Among its passengers were members of the world-famous Russian army choir, the Alexandrov Ensemble, who planned to perform at a New Year's concert at the Russian Hemeimeem air base in Syria..............

Ten types of Russian weapons didn’t work well in Syria, the Russian defense minister says
Russian forces demonstrated their prowess in the destruction of the opponents of the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu says; but ten kinds of Russian weaponry, especially those in high-tech sectors like cruise missiles and communications, did not perform well.

Shoygu’s comments came on Thursday at an expanded collegium of his ministry, at which Vladimir Putin also spoke, and were quickly overshadowed by the Kremlin leader’s claims that Russia is stronger than any potential aggressor and is modernizing its nuclear forces.

At that meeting, Putin said that “we must do a lot to strengthen the nuclear triad… do more with the navy… and perfect the systems of intelligence and communications.” But despite that, he added, he could “with confidence say that today we are stronger than any potential aggressor.”

That provoked a response by US State Department spokesman John Kirby that he “doesn’t think that in the entire history of humanity have there been armed forces… stronger than those of the United States at the present time.”

And that in turn led to another comment by Aleksey Pushkov, chairman of the Russian Federation Council’s Commission on Information Policy. In a Tweet, he said that “the State Department has called the US Armed Forces the strongest in history. But Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan show the impotence of force: the US can win a war but then lose the peace.”...............

Netanyahu-May meeting cancelled as diplomatic backlash escalates

Ron Dermer, the Israeli ambassador to the US, has accused Barack Obama’s administration of “ganging up” on his country by orchestrating a UN resolution on Israeli settlements, in an unusually sharp attack on the outgoing leadership of its closest ally.

Mr Dermer on Monday described America’s decision to abstain in the landmark vote as “a sad day and shameful chapter in US-Israeli relations”. He added that Israel would take evidence it had on the matter to the new administration of president-elect Donald Trump, who will assume office on 20 January.

“We will present this evidence to the new administration through the appropriate channels,” Mr Dermer said in an interview with CNN. “If they want to share it with the American people, they are welcome to do it.”

US officials last week denied Israeli accusations that they played a role in crafting or promoting UN Resolution 2334, which demands that Israel “immediately and completely” halt all settlement activity on Palestinian lands, and draws a clear distinction between the country’s internationally recognised borders and the occupied Palestinian territories....................
