Russia assists terrorists "DPR" and "LNR" to sell coal abroad

Kremlin helps terrorists "DNR" and "LNR" to sell coal from Donbass on international markets despite the blockade of Ukraine

Bloomberg reports.

Earnings from illegal sales go to the payment of pensions and other social payments to the population of the occupied territories.

According to Deputy Minister of Economy of Russia Sergei Nazarov, separatists send about 1 million tons of coal to Russia.

Next, Moscow re-exports coal to third countries through its seaports, Nazarov said, thereby confirming Ukraine's accusations that Moscow is promoting the development of trade ties with militants.

"Now they are solving all their problems with social infrastructure, budget and pensions," Nazarov said.

He declined to inform which countries buy coal from the occupied territories of the Donbas and the total profit from the sale.

The official noted that Russia has no need to use this coal.

In June 2017, the US Treasury introduced Sergey Nazarov to the sanction list, alleging that he manages transport, trade, energy, tax and financial sector projects for pro-Russian militants.

US prepares to evacuate diplomats from Cuba through "acoustic attacks"

sanctions - Ukraine News in brief. Friday 29 September. [Ukrainian sources] Fd2b2a867306e6ed7

US Department of State is developing a plan for the partial evacuation of employees of the American Embassy in Cuba and their family members.

This was reported by Reuters, citing sources in the Foreign Ministry and the US Congress.

More than 20 diplomats working in Cuba have previously complained about the inconvenience. This, as the State Department suggests, is caused by "acoustic attacks" with the use of certain sound equipment.

It is assumed that only diplomats will remain in Cuba, whose presence is needed to support the work of the embassy. Members of the family of diplomats and all other staff will leave the country.

A plan for evacuation, sources said Reuters, the State Department will present in the next few days. According to other interlocutors of the agency, until it is decided, the evacuation of diplomats and their families will be mandatory or voluntary.

Earlier, employees of the US Embassy in Cuba began to complain about a bad state of health - nausea, hearing loss, headache and difficulties with orientation in space - without any apparent reasons. A version was put forward that some sound devices were used against diplomats. The US State Department has curtailed 16 injured diplomats from an "acoustic attack" in Cuba .

Cuba's "acoustic attacks" categorically deny.

The US Embassy in Cuba opened in 2016 for Barack Obama's presidency. Prior to this, Washington and Havana did not support diplomatic relations for more than 50 years.
