UKRAINE - Ukraine News in brief. Monday 4 December. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Trump will change its strategy in the fight against Russia

Trump will change its strategy in the fight against Russia

The United States is developing a new national security strategy, which will include methods for confronting "Russian aggression."

This is reported by the Wall Street Journal.

According to journalists, the new strategy will also address threats from Iran, the DPRK, China and the "attempt by the Kremlin to carry out propaganda in the West."

The work on the new strategy began in March this year, coinciding with the period when Herbert McMaster, a national security adviser, took over.

Earlier, McMaster noted that the new document will address the "preservation of peace through the use of force", the confrontation of China, Russia, the DPRK and Iran, as well as the fight against terrorism in the Middle East.

As reported by the "Apostrophe", formerly the former adviser to US President Donald Trump of national security, Michael Flynn admitted that he had given false evidence to the FBI about his contacts with the Russians , which the US President himself had already reacted to.

UKRAINE - Ukraine News in brief. Monday 4 December. [Ukrainian sources] Empty US embassies in Russia will resume issuing visas in regions

Mon Dec 04, 2017 2:07 pm
US embassies in Russia will resume issuing visas in regions

American Consulates in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok will resume issuing visas to Russians.

This was announced by US Ambassador to Russia John Huntsman, reports Kommersant.

The procedure will start on December 11th.

Recall that since August 23, the US Embassy in Russia has suspended the issuance of non-immigrant visas in Russian regions. It should be noted that visas were issued to Russians, but only at the embassy in Moscow.

Such a decision by the United States was due to the limitation of the number of US diplomatic staff in Russia at the request of the Kremlin.

On July 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin said 755 American diplomats should leave the Russian Federation.

Later in the United States, they said they were preparing a response to the sending of US diplomats from the Russian Federation.

Donald Trump also thanked Putin for sending out American diplomats from Russia, as it would save a lot of money.

Users of social networks were struck by the story of Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov on the standard of living of Americans.

The video of the propaganda piece with Solovyov was published in the twitter edition Grani.ru.

During the show, the Atlantic Council's leading expert, Ariel Cohen, said that "in America, per capita income is $ 53,000 a year, while in Russia it is 12,000." Soloviev parries: "And what are the shower costs?"

TRANSLATION:
In earnest, Soloviev inspires contingent that Russians are much richer than Americans. And almost everyone in the US is homeless, but in Russia there is no such phenomenon. More propaganda pearls



"Solovyov strongly believes in the contingent that Russians are much richer than Americans. And almost all in the United States are homeless, and in Russia there is no such thing," the report said.

"The show is not done, the show is made for morons," "I hope Solovyov will fall into the extended list until February 2, so that America does not interfere much with the love of the Motherland," "Lethal more than statistics," people wrote in the comments under this video.

As reported by the "Apostrophe", Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov said on the air of a talk show that would send his children to fight in Syria, and he himself wanted to go to Afghanistan.

UKRAINE - Ukraine News in brief. Monday 4 December. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Russia has a plan: ex-deputy of the State Duma pointed to the danger to Ukraine from the return of the Donbas

Russia has a plan: ex-deputy of the State Duma pointed to the danger to Ukraine from the return of the Donbas

With the return of the occupied Donbass under the control of Ukraine in the political spectrum of our country, the role of pro-Russian forces will intensify.

This was stated in an interview with "Apostrophe" by an ex-deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Ilya Ponomariov.

According to him, Russia's military aggression in the Donbass is trying to achieve recognition of the legality of the annexation of the Crimea.

"I believe that for the sake of this, Russia, in general, has solved this entire history in the East of Ukraine, it was only in order to settle with the Crimea. It does not work out, and therefore Putin then went to Syria for just the same exchange."Let's say, USA, we agree with you on Syria, and you forget about Crimea,"- he said.

Ponomariov stressed that it is important for the Kremlin to negotiate with the West in the Crimea, and not with Ukraine.

"It is important for Russia not to negotiate with Ukraine on this subject, but with Europeans and Americans, because this is due to sanctions. The Kremlin does not consider it necessary to negotiate with you, because some time will pass and all power will change. They are important for themselves. not to be an international outcasts and not to be constantly pressed in. But while this change, thank God, it is not planned, judging by the position of the current administration in Washington, in the near future will not succeed. This position is cemented in the same decision of the Congress [of anti-Russian sanctions] - said the ex-deputy of the State Duma.

He also believes that Russia will try to play the return of the ORDLO under the control of Ukraine.

"And there will soon be an attempt to convert this status of territories into influence on Ukraine. And elections in this sense are, of course, a key issue, because if you agree that this territory takes part in the general political life of Ukraine right from the first day, then you you will receive a situation where the Opposition bloc will receive + 10%, accordingly, the current government will receive -10%. And since you all go to the nostrils in the nostril, this addendum almost guarantees that the next president will be a representative of the Opposition bloc. I will not say 100%, but there is a very high probability that this is the case At least this is a 100% guarantee that in the second round it will be precisely the man with the same party who practically would not have put forward in this situation. Does this need Ukraine at the present moment? I think that no. It is necessary to wait, take pause to rebuild the economy. And just when the economy will work, then you can talk about full democratic institutions", - said Ponomariov.

UKRAINE - Ukraine News in brief. Monday 4 December. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Analyst explained Lukashenka's plan to Belarusian peacekeepers in the Donbas

Analyst explained Lukashenka's plan to Belarusian peacekeepers in the Donbas

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko wants to put his peacekeepers in the Donbass to secure his security in the event of Russia's attempts to capture Belarusian territory.

Such an opinion was expressed by the Belarusian analyst Igor Tyshkevych in an interview with the" Business Capital" portal.

"The war in Ukraine is a platform for opportunities, however cynical it may sound, thanks to the Belarusian Minsk process has already been lifted. If Belarus succeeds in sending its peacekeepers what Lukashenka really wants, and they will not be tied to Russians, they will be albeit shaky, but also additional security guarantees,"- said the analyst.

These guarantees are needed by Belarus, since it currently has no true allies, Tishkevich notes.

At the same time, Patriarch Filaret noted that he would not abandon the idea of ​​autocephaly of the Ukrainian church.

"If he (Patriarch Cyril) offered to meet, I would of course agree, but he would not retreat from his position, namely the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Church," he said.

At the same time, the patriarch noted that such proposals from the Russian Orthodox Church were not received.

"I warned that regardless of how these negotiations will be completed, what will be the decision of the Bishops' Council (ROC), so that we remain united, because for us unity is more important than autocephaly," he said.

As reported by the "Apostrophe", earlier Patriarch Filaret said that the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) instead of reconciliation attempts to return the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate (UOC-KP) to the Moscow Patriarchate.
