Taking into account a number of political victories, numerous contacts with the oligarchs and the FSB, as well as the rapid expansion of Rosneft's influence, the head of the company Igor Seychin, can be called the second largest person in Russia after President Vladimir Putin.

This is stated in the report of the private American intelligence-analytical company Stratfor, which is at the disposal of "Apostrophe".

Analysts point out that Putin is increasingly threatened by various groups in Russia. At the same time, in order to meet their ambitions, Sechin becomes one of the main engines behind these groups.

According to experts, the oligarch with his allies and the broad influence may be too strong for Putin's rival, and his fall could threaten the stability of Russia as a whole.

Analyzing the reports of the Russian media, US intelligence notes that Putin creates a circle of influential supporters around him. Among them are the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, chairman of Rostegh Sergei Chemezov, assistant to the president, Vladislav Surkov, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, Speaker of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin, financier Yuri Kovalchuk and others. Analysts suggest that Putin can strengthen Gazprom, putting him at the head of a politically strong Medvedev. Do not forget that Putin is developing a National Guard that is solely responsible for it and can be counterbalanced by the FSB.

"In general, Sechin and Rosneft are part of a larger struggle for power within the Kremlin. Russia is increasingly unstable, and therefore Putin is increasingly threatened to face the face of a real political adversary who might threaten his government. "- said in the report.

In this regard, analysts do not rule out that the proliferation of the influence of Sechin and the confrontation between "Gazprom" and "Ronafta" may become a forerunner of political threats to Putin.

Russia wants to exchange Ukrainian arrested Pavlo Gryb on the Russian captain Viktor Ajeev, who was captured on Donbas.

This was reported by well-known Russian lawyer Mark Feigin, quoted by Gordon.

"Why have the Gryb been kidnapped? In the Russian Federation, they are looking for options for whoever such a juicy one could quickly swap Agiev. In my opinion, it is still an operation to resolve this particular issue," the lawyer explained.

Feigin also said that he did not believe that the Gryb itself had entered Russia: "In fact, in Belarus, he was simply seized, put in a car and taken to Russia." Did Belarusian intelligence take part in this? I think so. " Also, Feigin said that the Ukrainian consul to Paul Griba will not be allowed until he signs all the papers with a confession in terrorism.

At the same time, today the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus stated that it does not know where Paul Mushroom is located and he is in search. It is also noted that the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus did not detain Paul Mushroom and otherwise did not get in contact with him.

Also, SIZO No. 5 of Krasnodar could not confirm to BBC journalists that there was Pavlo Mushroom there.

Expansion of the combat zone in the East of Ukraine, as declared by Russian President Vladimir Putin in the context of the possible provision of US lethal weapons to Ukraine, is unlikely scenario.

This is what the People's Deputy Dmitry Timchuk, coordinator of the "Information Opposition" group, writes in his blog on "Apostrophe".

"I do not think Putin will go on a scenario of the open location of troops in other directions, if he could do it, for example, in the Kharkiv region or in any other direction, he would do it," he said.

Timchuk reminded that such attempts were made by Russia in the spring of 2014, but then aggression was limited to separate territories of Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

"I do not think that now Putin will be able to free his" green men "and arrange similar scenarios in other areas in the East or South of Ukraine," the expert said, adding that at present, the combat effectiveness of the UAF is much higher than in 2014.

Speaker of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharova on September 8 recognized that the military serviceman of the RF Armed Forces Contract Service is in captivity in the Donbass, and answered the questions of the mother of the military about why her son in the SIZO visits the consul .

UNIAN reports with reference to its own correspondent.

"They paid attention to the publication in" Novaya Gazeta ", which quoted Svetlana Agiev - a captive Russian, Russian citizen Ageev," - said Zakharov at a briefing.

Speaking about the reasons why, for all time, while Agiev is in a jail, was not visited by a consul, Zakharov began to accuse Ukraine.

According to her, the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Kharkiv is making efforts to assist the military, but the Ukrainian authorities "violate international legal norms and a bilateral consular convention between the Russian Federation and Ukraine from January 15, 1993, Russian representatives still have not been able to meet with the Russian citizen."

She also said that the SBU allegedly denied Agaje at the meeting, explaining that it would become possible after the end of the investigation.

According to the speaker of the Russian Foreign Ministry, since July, the Consulate General has requested a meeting with a Russian for three times. Diplomats also allegedly contacted a lawyer hired by Aegaev's mother, but he stated that he was not allowed to be detained by a client as he refused his services and would use the services of a state defender.

"According to the defense lawyer, in September, the investigation team is about to hand over the case of a Russian citizen to court. We will check this information, the Consulate General will inform Svetlana Agiev," Zakharova said.

Earlier, mother Aegaeva said that her son does not receive full consular and lawyer support.

UN member-states do not support the draft resolution of Russia on peacekeepers in the Donbas.

This was stated by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin in an interview with Ukrinform.

"First, about the UN. The draft resolution submitted by the Russian Federation to the Security Council was not supported by anyone, "he said.

Previously, it was reported that France and Germany would develop a concept for a peacekeeping mission in the Donbas.

Observers of the Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) of OSCE have recorded 51 tanks on the shooting ranges next to occupied Luhansk and Donetsk.

Censor.NET reports citing the press service of OSCE SMM.

"Beyond respective withdrawal lines but outside designated storage sites, in non-government-controlled areas, the SMM saw 13 stationary tanks (T-64) at a training area near Kruhlyk (31km south-west of Luhansk), 12 tanks (type unknown; 11 were stationary and one was travelling south-east) at a training area near Ternove (57km east of Donetsk) and five tanks (T-72) travelling south in the same area. Aerial imagery revealed the presence on 4 September of 21 tanks (type unknown) and four surface-to-air missile systems (type unknown) south of Buhaivka.

"The SMM observed weapons that could not be verified as withdrawn, as their storage did not comply with the criteria set out in the 16 October 2015 notification from the SMM to the signatories of the Package of Measures on effective monitoring and verification of the withdrawal of heavy weapons. At a site beyond respective withdrawal lines in areas outside government control in Donetsk region, the SMM noted that six self-propelled howitzers (2S1 Gvozdika, 122mm) were present, as previously observed, and 13 mortars (12 PM-38, 120mm; one 2B11 Sani, 120mm) remained missing.

"The SMM revisited an "LPR" permanent storage site whose location was beyond withdrawal lines and noted that one tank (T-64) was still missing. The Mission revisited a "DPR" permanent storage site whose location was beyond withdrawal lines and noted that eight tanks (three T-64, five T-72) were still missing. At another "DPR" permanent storage site, the gates were locked and no one appeared to be present to provide the SMM with access," the report reads.
