Ukrainian - Ukraine News in brief. Friday 5 January. [Ukrainian sources] Empty In the US, they are worried about the possible fall of Ukraine's weapons to fighters

In the US, they are worried about the possible fall of Ukraine's weapons to fighters

In the US, they are worried about the potential hit of American weapons by militants in the Donbass, when they will be given to Ukraine to deter Russian aggression.

This is reported by The Wall Street Journal.

According to statements from US officials, Washington is carefully considering the issue of the transfer of Ukraine's Javelin anti-tank missiles, and claims that this weapon will be used far from the collision line. "To her (weapons - Ed.) Was not used for offensive operations and not left the enemy."

The publication emphasized that such reservations in the United States appeared on the background of the fact that American weapons had already fallen on the other side of the conflict, in particular, in Syria and Georgia.

Recall that the State Department of the United States declared a willingness to provide Ukraine with defense weapons .

It was previously reported that the US plans to spend more than $ 200 million on building military bases in Eastern Europe . Washington states that such a decision is part of an initiative to curb Russian aggression.

Ukrainian - Ukraine News in brief. Friday 5 January. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Cypriot court freezes $ 820.5 million from assets of oligarch Akhmetov

Fri Jan 05, 2018 11:42 am
Cypriot court freezes $ 820.5 million from assets of oligarch Akhmetov

The Cypriot court decided to freeze the assets of the Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov to $ 820.5 million in the case of Ukrtelecom.

This is reported by the Financial Times, which received a copy of the decision.

Akhmetov has the right to appeal such a ruling before January 8, 2018.

This is the case of Raga Establishment, the ex-chairman of the bankrupt bank Rodovid Bank Denis Gorbunenko, against SCM Financial Overseas Limited Akhmetov. The company of the Ukrainian oligarch is accused of underpayment for the purchase of Ukrtelecom.

Raga Establishment claims to have sold Ukretelecom Akhmetov in 2013 for $ 860 million. This amount should have been paid out in three tranches, but only one was received for $ 100 million.

In turn, Akhmetov's company claimed that Raga Establishment did not meet the investment commitments taken during the privatization.

It is noted that the case also potentially affects the interests of another Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash, who can be extradited from Australia to the United States for corruption charges. Raga Establishment stated that Firtash had owed $ 300 million to her, partly financing the initial privatization of Ukrtelecom in 2011.

Earlier Akhmetov entered the 500 richest people in the world according to Bloomberg.

Ukrainian - Ukraine News in brief. Friday 5 January. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Ukraine US transferred Javelin not get to the front

Ukraine US transferred Javelin not get to the front

Ukrainian - Ukraine News in brief. Friday 5 January. [Ukrainian sources] 909886

US plans to transfer weapons angered Russia and Ukraine led to the deterioration of mutual relations, but also concern the possibility that the weapons catch into the hands of the enemy, as happened in the past.

Arming Ukraine should prevent the transformation of glow current conflict in the large-scale military operations by increasing the capacity of government forces better protected in case of offensive enemy forces, wrote an influential American newspaper The Wall Street Journal, reports " Voice of America".

US officials say they are studying the case carefully transmission Ukraine anti-missile systems Javelin. Therefore, this weapon will be equipped with parts that are located far from the front, so it is not used for offensive operations, and that it is not left to the enemy during the retreat.

In 2014, when the US handed radar system for detecting the location of enemy artillery, one of these units, which was located near Debaltsevo, was a separatist and Russian hands.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the Armed Forces of Ukraine informed the US side that destroyed part of the radar system to the retreat of troops, but it is not the only case. American equipment after the aggression of Georgia against Russian troops in 2008 were found in the captured bases, and some parts were available, even on the black market in Tbilisi.

Thus such incidents do not belong to the exceptions. Some weapons Eastern origin, provided anti-government fighters in Syria, for example, appeared later in the hands of extremists "Islamic state."

US and Ukrainian officials consider it very important to ensure that such weapons as Javelin, not in the hands of separatists who could use it later to Ukrainian tanks.

American attempts to protect itself is reasonable, as separatists or Russians could later resell the weapons in conflict zones, and it could be used against American vehicles (armored personnel carriers and tanks) or staff for several thousand kilometers from the Ukraine.

Crimea - this is not controversial, but occupied by the territory of Russia - Kasparov

Ukrainian - Ukraine News in brief. Friday 5 January. [Ukrainian sources] Censor_news_big3

Chess World Champion, as well as the opposition figure of the Russian Federation, Harry Kasparov, opposed the occupation of the Crimea by Russia, and also criticized the Russian authorities' desire to fight for the territory, not for technological development and quality of life of people.

He stated this, answering the questions of readers of the site Kasparov.ru, reports Tsensor.NET.

"I'll say right away - Crimea is not a contentious territory. It's not a controversial, but an occupied territory, in violation of all international treaties," Kasparov said.

"Regarding the Kuril Islands, it is necessary to base the agreement on 1956. It is worth mentioning that it was under Putin that Russia made significant concessions to China at the demarcation of the border along the Amur River. It is obvious that Japan needs to give up part of the territory and allow them to take part in the development process these islands.And for those who are screaming about the "referendum" in the Crimea, I would like to suggest a referendum on the Kuril Islands for joining Japan, the result for them may be unexpected... Or it is possible to hold a similar referendum in the Konigsberg province,"- aznachyv it.

"We live in a world where territories have ceased to play a key role. At present, an important level of technological development and people's quality of life is a country that has not been able to provide the apartments of its war veterans, has no right to speak about the territory. Armani and shouts that he will not sell his homeland, Stanislavsky immediately remembers: "I do not believe!" Kasparov summed up.

Ukrainian - Ukraine News in brief. Friday 5 January. [Ukrainian sources] Empty We need to divorce our wives: US intelligence tells panic among the Putin oligarchs

We need to divorce our wives: US intelligence tells panic among the Putin oligarchs

Russian oligarchs, against the backdrop of a new wave of US sanctions, their American lobbyists offered to divorce their wives to re-write their property for them.

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

Recall that in February the US Treasury Department will publish a list of the most influential Russian oligarchs who are close to the Kremlin.

"Their families and associates will be subject to sanctions, as well as their assets, and their children may be prohibited from studying abroad." The scope of this variant of restrictive measures is sharply different from personal sanctions that are in force. "Those oligarchs for whom sanctions have already been imposed , mainly retain their assets inside Russia, and they are also directly related to Russia's foreign policy - and specifically with the conflict in Ukraine. The extension of this list to oligarchs who are Putin's personal friends is approaching the direct attacks on the president of the Russian Federation", - American analysts write.

It is noted that Russian oligarchs are currently looking for ways to avoid a new wave of American sanctions.

"And among the representatives of the oligarchy, concerns have been spread that they may be subject to sanctions within the scope of this investigation. These elites have earned their wealth in the wicked 90s and are not necessarily loyal to Putin, who usually hold huge sums of money and assets abroad and Most of them are tied to the Kremlin because they need Putin's support. The names that pop up in the media relate mainly to the giants of the metallurgical and energy industries: Oleg Deripaska, Roman Abramovich, Mikhail Friedman, Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Prokhorov. According to a journalist (and as already wrote "Apostrophe" - Ed.) Russian oligarchs filled Washington lobbyists and lawyers who offered them to leave their wives and rewrite their assets in ex-wives are to protect the state. It was also reported.

Ukrainian - Ukraine News in brief. Friday 5 January. [Ukrainian sources] Empty US intelligence officials pointed to the US trick against attacking top Russian oligarchs

US intelligence officials pointed to the US trick against attacking top Russian oligarchs

Russian big businessmen who fall under a new wave of US sanctions can oppose the Kremlin, as restrictive measures will introduce the reasons for Russia's foreign policy.

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

"Businessmen who survived the Putin persecution during their first decade in power, run large companies and are strong players. The Kremlin relies on them to support non-state businesses, to strengthen the financial sector of the country and to provide livelihoods for many regions and cities dependent on one. If these businessmen fall into the US attack on Russia's foreign policy, for which they are not responding, then they can oppose Putin and his administration, which is stealing already unstable systems in elites", - analysts write.

Attention is drawn to the fact that the list of Russian oligarchs will not be published to prevent them from moving their funds to evade sanctions. Also, the United States will transfer this list to the EU countries, in order to convince them to refuse to do business with the businessmen who appear in it.

Analysts also point out that due to concerns about new sanctions, the United States from Russia for November and December had been withdrawn considerable financial resources.

Employees of Stratfor remind that on December 21, President Vladimir Putin met with oligarchs, suggesting that they safely transfer money to Russia so that they would not be subject to sanctions.

"The Central Bank of Russia and the Ministry of Finance assured businessmen that the scheme for the transfer of foreign exchange investments into Russia was put into effect.It seems that the Russian government will place eurobonds worth $ 3 billion, but not through the usual Euroclear or Clearstream systems that should have been to report this to the US Treasury Department, instead, funds will be transferred to anonymous Russian investors directly, although it is unclear what system will use Moscow, "analysts said.

Ukrainian - Ukraine News in brief. Friday 5 January. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Not only weapons: in the West they called yet another thing that Ukraine needs to counter Russia's aggression

Fri Jan 05, 2018 5:47 pm
Not only weapons: in the West they called yet another thing that Ukraine needs to counter Russia's aggression

The United States must support Ukraine in its confrontation with Russia, not only by providing weapons, but also by pushing for reform.

An Atlantic Council official, former US Assistant Secretary of Defense Michael Carpenter writes in an article for the Foreign Policy publication .

"By providing Ukraine with a defense anti-tank weapon, the Trump administration has made an important step towards protecting the country from Russian aggression, and now the administration has to develop these extended relations, improving and expanding the US military training program in Ukraine and using US levers to attract Ukrainian leaders to conduct anti-corruption reforms", - said Carpenter .

He emphasized that now that Ukraine's armed forces are stronger and capable of defending against Russian forces, corruption has become the greatest threat to Ukraine's sovereignty and its Euro-Atlantic aspirations.

Karpetnik writes that Russia was not expecting such resistance from Ukraine for military aggression and is now trying to divide our country from the inside.

"Their (Russian, ed.) Goal is simple: to use corruption to blow Ukrainians against each other and to block the country's path to European integration. With the presidential and parliamentary elections in 2019, the Kremlin pays special attention to the support of those parties and politicians who can easily to buy or manipulate.Although the ultimate goal of Russian President Vladimir Putin is to control the government in Kyiv, he can also be quite pleased with the fragmented and divided Ukrainian state, "said Karpetner, stressing that the US should to use its influence so that anti-corruption reforms are carried out in Ukraine.

According to him, now in Ukraine a number of government positions occupy "brilliant reformers", who can really carry out reforms. And to promote these reforms, the West can use financial leverage.

"Western investments into the real economy of Ukraine would ensure the right combination of political incentives to advance reforms and investments that would be conditioned by strict criteria for combating corruption. The amount of capital needed to support this investment fund - somewhere around $ 6 billion a year - is enough modest compared to the European Strategic Investment Fund in the amount of $ 378 billion ", - Michael Carpenter has underlined .

He drew attention to that, otherwise, Russia could reverse the pro-Western course of Ukraine with the help of financial instruments.

"And if these corrupt interests turn back, as it did after the Orange Revolution, the outcome will be far more expensive for the West in the long run - economically and geopolitically. That is why the US and Europe should focus on helping Ukraine win both its strategic on the fronts: in the east, where its soldiers defend the sovereignty and territory of Ukraine from the prolonged aggression of Russia and within the country, as reformers have increasingly fought in the struggle against the old system. The rates are too high for West about standing aside"- says Carpenter.

It is noted that the owner of the cafe refused to remove the banner with the image of Timothy, so it was torn apart by the nationalists themselves.

The rapper is forbidden to enter Ukraine because of his public support for the annexation of the Crimea.

Recall, Timati calls himself the best friend of the Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chechen head Ramzan Kadyrov. In particular, the rapper has repeatedly published social pictures with Kadyrov in social networks, and he also spoke at the events dedicated to the head of Chechnya, reading the praises in his address.

US intelligence officials named sanctions that hit Putin unexpectedly painfully

The expansion by the United States of the "Magnitsky List" of Russian officials may affect the very president of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.

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

Recall that Ramzan Kadyrov, head of Chechnya, got into the "Magnitsky List".

"The Magnitsky law and related bills can not directly hit the Kremlin or Russia, but Putin has repeatedly stated that he takes these measures on his personal account. For a despotic leader who aggressively concentrated power in his hands and did not resist conflicts abroad , this feeling may seem strange, but it has been reported that Russia has repeatedly raised this issue in high-level talks, and Putin seems to believe that this act undermines his reputation within the country and abroad. Now that this list has fallen His closest associates, the issue is likely to be even sharper for the Russian leader,"- say analysts Stratfor.

It is also noted that in autumn Canada introduced its own version of the Magnit list, which included 52 people. Similarly, the United Kingdom, France, South Africa and Ukraine can make a similar list this year.

Ukrainian - Ukraine News in brief. Friday 5 January. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Why Putin does not agree to exchange political prisoners on the list. Lawyer's explanation

Fri Jan 05, 2018 10:18 pm
Why Putin does not agree to exchange political prisoners on the list. Lawyer's explanation

The Russian authorities are more likely to want to exchange the journalist Roman

Sushchenko and other Ukrainian political prisoners on an individual basis.
This was stated by Russian lawyer Mark Faigin on Radio Liberty.

"Putin will not change the list of Ukrainian citizens (kept in Russia), which is a more valuable resource than the exchange of prisoners of the Armed Forces on militants, and he (Putin) will try to change them one by one," he said.

Feigin also told about the situation of his client Roman Sushchenko and noted that at the moment the Ukrainian has no problems with the state of health.

"But the situation before the court, we complete the acquaintance with the case, it winds up very strongly. It is very important for the prosecution to get evidence, of course, the formal evidence that Sushchenko is a member of the Ukrainian secret services. It seems to me that Sharoyka or somebody else will use them," concluded Feygin.

-Recall that on December 27 the most massive exchange of prisoners took place in the Donbas - 73 Ukrainians returned from the occupied territory.

-Among the Ukrainians released from the captivity of Russian militants in the Donbass, are "cyborgs", and other Ukrainian fighters , social activists and volunteers, as well as historian historian Igor Kozlovsky.

-The head of the SBU, Vasily Hrytsak, said that there are still 103 hostages in the ORDLOs.

-The Ukrainian side and terrorists "LNR / DNR" have begun talks on a new exchange of prisoners - 25 more Ukrainians are preparing to return.

-Several hundred people were met at the military airfield in Borispol, liberated Ukrainians - relatives, friends and non-indifferent citizens.

-The Ukrainian side is ready for serious compromises to continue the process of dismissal of Ukrainians, Irina Gerashchenko, the first vice-speaker of the
Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, said.

-The SBU will check released hostages for communications with Russian special services.

-Several hostages freed from captivity "A / DNR" refused treatment due to their unwillingness to be subjected to pressure from the public and the press.
