Ukraine News. Sunday 18 March. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Putin in Ukraine predicted the collapse and told how it will happen

Sun Mar 18, 2018 1:30 pm
Putin in Ukraine predicted the collapse and told how it will happen

Russia's economy is forecast to collapse during the next term of President Vladimir Putin.

Oleksandr Solontai, an expert of the Institute for Political Education, told this "Apostrophe".

According to him, Putin could not stop the irreversible process of collapse in Russia, which lasted from the Soviet era, and during the next cadence, Russia's economy will begin to fall.

"Indeed, it will become a verdict for Russian imperialism. There is no formula and opportunity to leave the economy associated with the world economic space, and at the same time build an empire, which is impossible, in other words, it is impossible on the rubble of the Soviet Union, where the processes began to play in the opposite direction, "says Solotany.

When the inhabitants of Russia, even those of them who believed that their well-being grew under the current president, will turn away from him, Putin's economic death will take place. A sudden physical death, according to an expert, may occur if Putin decides to resume the cadence after this.

"And then, after this sudden physical death for a future incident, perhaps no successor will be able to do what Putin did - to make all together together and keep them in one's hands, possibly including the collapse of the Russian Federation. very incredible scenarios compared to what we have now, but it will not be soon,"- concludes Solotany.

Ukraine News. Sunday 18 March. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Britain may oblige Russian oligarchs to report property in the UK

Sun Mar 18, 2018 1:37 pm
Britain may oblige Russian oligarchs to report property in the UK

The British Parliament is required to oblige Russian oligarchs and politicians to disclose property data in the UK and report on sources of income

This is written by The Guardian.

With such an initiative, influential Liberal Democrats and representatives of the Social Democratic Labor Party came forward.

"According to their information, Russian politicians and oligarchs associated with the Putin regime have real estate in the UK (mostly in London) at least 1.1 billion pounds, but this figure may be understated because of the use of offshore schemes," the newspaper said. .

The article refers to the first deputy prime minister of the RF, Igor Shuvalov, who owns two apartments in the prestigious district of London, not far from the building of the Ministry of Defense of the country.

"These apartments, worth £ 11.4 million, were bought by a company that according to the Russian oppositionist Oleksiy Navvalny, owned by Shuvalov in 2014. According to its declaration, the incomes of the first vice premier in 2014 were 112 thousand pounds sterling, "the publication writes.

The Guardian stresses that the British Parliament is planning to introduce so-called "Magnitsky Amendments" to the draft law on money laundering, to prevent entry into the country of persons involved in corruption or violation of human rights.

"But these measures will not be enough and they will have only a minimal effect," Labor and Liberal Democrats emphasize.

-Recall that on March 5, in the British city of Salisbury, former Russian intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter became ill in a shopping center, after which they were hospitalized with serious poisoning with an unknown substance.

-British officials are threatened with sanctions if it is confirmed that Russia poisoned its former spy on British territory.

-British Prime Minister Teresa May announced that the Russian Federation is likely to be poisoned by former Colonel Sergei Skripal, the Main Intelligence Directorate.

-Developers of the nerve-paralytic substance "Novachok", which allegedly poisoned the Violinist, doubts that the ex-employee of the GRU will recover after poisoning.

-The United States, Great Britain, France and Germany stressed that Russia's refusal to respond to Britain's question of Violinist poisoning indicated its responsibility.

-The British Prime Minister announced the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats from the country . In addition, Britain called on the Russian ambassador and suspended bilateral ties with Russia.

-The White House acknowledged Russia 's responsibility for the Violinist poisoning.

Ukraine News. Sunday 18 March. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Russia's ambassador to the EU: the British laboratory can be the source of the Violinist poison

Sun Mar 18, 2018 1:58 pm
Russia's ambassador to the EU: the British laboratory can be the source of the Violinist poison

Russian Ambassador to the European Union Volodymyr Chyzhov stated that the British research laboratory could be the source of the source of the poisonous substance that was used against Sergey Skrypka and his daughter in the UK.

He said this in the comments of the Air Force.

"When you have a nerve-paralytic substance or something like that, you check it on certain samples that you store in your labs. And Porton-Dawn, as we all know now, is the largest military facility in the United Kingdom that deals with chemical weapons research, and it's actually only eight miles from Salisbury, "Chizhov said.

But, on the question of whether he considered the laboratory in Porton-Dawn "responsible" for the origin of matter, Chizhov said: "I have no evidence that something was used."

He added that it completely precludes the disappearance of any stocks of any chemical weapons from Russia.

"But there were certain experts, in particular some scientists, who today claim to be responsible for the creation of some nerve agents, they left Russia and now live in the UK," he added.

The British Foreign Office stated that Chyzhov's assumption of Porton-Down had "no ounce of truth."

"This is just another futile attempt by the Russian state to divert the story from the facts - Russia has grossly violated its international obligations," the representative of the agency noted.

Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation stated that the "Novik" torture had never been developed in Russia.

On March 14, British Prime Minister Teresa May announced the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats in connection with the poisoning of the former Russian intelligence officer Sergei Skripal. In addition, Britain has declared the freezing of Russian assets in the country. Sanctions can affect Putin's closest environment, says Foreign Minister of Britain Boris Johnson.

Also, Britain has warned citizens about the danger of traveling to Russia . In addition, May announced the meeting of the NATO Council on Chemical Weapons in Russia . Due to an international scandal, the Royal Family and British ministers will not go to the 2018 World Cup in Russia . The British regulator in the field of broadcasting did not rule out blocking the Russia Today channel, working in Britain. Russia threatens to ban British media in case of Russia Today blocking.

There are massive violations in Russia at polling stations

Ukraine News. Sunday 18 March. [Ukrainian sources] 14b3304cca8b28efb

March 18 in Russia, the presidential elections are held. The election day was appointed on the day of the annexation of Crimea, four years ago. Ukraine has urged the world not to recognize the results of such elections, and in Ukraine they do not allow Russians to vote. Meanwhile, there are massive violations of the voting procedure at polling stations in Russia.

Ensuring the appearance - the main task of non-alternative elections in the Russian Federation, said the correspondent of the Gromadsky, who is in Moscow. According to her, near constituencies, concerts, "seasons of food" and other measures are held for people to come to the polls.

In the same video, published in social networks, you can see the massive insertion of ballots.



Observers in the Kemerovo region and the Krasnodar Territory are not allowed to enter the polls in the Krasnodar Territory, people say "from the administration" in the Krasnodar Territory and say that the place of observers is already occupied, as reported on the site of oppositional Oleksiy Navvalny, who was not allowed to participate in the elections.





Video surveillance records, for example, that in the Far East ballot papers are in ballot boxes before the opening of polling stations.



The Central Election Commission of Russia wrote to it that "the members of the commission and observers working at the polls voted".

By law, before the vote, the urine should be blank and sealed.

Another example of a massive ballot.


It also mentions the picking up of voters by bus with the numbers of the polling station electorate.

A group of observers from Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kazan, which monitors the course of the Russian presidential election in Dagestan, has stated numerous abductions and beatings at polling stations.

An official was attacked in Dagestan at a polling station on which a local media journalist's poll was covered. An employee of the administration of one of the districts of Makhachkala struck a journalist of RIA Derbent Malik Butaev by the face of the fact that he took off the work of the commission on the video. The offender was taken to the police station.

The Novosibirsk regional organization of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has published on its website the first results of the presidential election in the Novosibirsk region. According to the law, publication of the results of the vote before the closure of all polling stations in Russia is prohibited.

And Saratov included a man who died 14 years ago in the voter list.

In Moscow, at two polling stations (No. 1204 and No. 1353) the urns became obstructed.

Meanwhile, in the annexed Sevastopol for participating in illegal elections, the occupation authorities are presenting medals.

In Russia, officially appointed  presidential elections on the day of the annexation of the Crimea. Russia also said that it  plans to hold elections  in the annexed Crimea.

On March 14, Putin  arrived in the annexed Crimea  and visited the construction site of the so-called "Crimean Bridge", the construction of which began in February 2016.

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko believes that the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the annexed Crimea is a  provocation .

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine  called on the international community  not to allow Russia to hold elections in Crimea. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine was warned that  sanctions would be imposed against those  involved in the presidential elections in the Crimea .

Russian President Vladimir Putin, a candidate from the Communist Party of Ukraine Pavlo Grudinin, Liberal Democratic Party leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky, founder of "Apple" Grigory Yavlinsky and journalist Ksenia Sobchak take part in the Russian election.

In addition, in the city of Tavda in the Sverdlovsk region of Russia, a woman loudly demanded to show her where Vladimir Putin's candidacy is in the ballot. It should be noted that, apparently, "de Putin" was shown to her by some man who most likely was an observer or member of an election commission, which is a violation of the law.

In Ukraine, you can take away a visa-free travel: the reasons are mentioned

In case of breach of agreements with the EU, Ukraine may lose visa-free regime.

This was stated by Irina Sushko, the newspaper DT.UA reports.

One of the main problems is the illegal obtaining of a Ukrainian passport by third parties that pose a threat to the security of the EU.

"In December 2017, British Ambassador Judith Hough was quoted as saying by the British Ambassador, Judith Hough, in an interview with New Time. She remembered the story of the illegal receipt of a Ukrainian biometric passport by a citizen of another state suspected of committing assassinated murders and, in particular, , in an attempt on Amina Okuyev and Adam Osmayev. At the same time, Ambassador Isabel Dumont spoke publicly about another passport story related to suspicions of corruption among the top officials of the DMS, "the article says.

Russia will do everything possible to intervene in the next election in Ukraine, - Irina Gerashchenko

Ukraine News. Sunday 18 March. [Ukrainian sources] Censor_news_big3

The Russian Federation did not allow citizens of Ukraine in 2014 to participate in presidential and parliamentary elections in the occupied Crimea and Donbas, and also to intervene in future elections in Ukraine.

About this the First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Iryna Gerashchenko wrote on her page in Facebook, reports Censor.NET.

"As to the fact that the Russian Federation will succeed in a symmetrical answer and close the Ukrainian institutions on the day of the Ukrainian elections and will not allow Ukrainians to vote, as some are screaming here, I would remind you that Russia has not let the Ukrainians in the occupied Crimea and Donbas choose the president and the Verkhovna Rada in 2014 - Russia will do its best to intervene in the next election in Ukraine in order to set up a pro-Russian president and a massive fifth column in the Verkhovna Rada, which is what will be a threat to Russia's non-functioning regions, "said Ger Aschenko.

Let's remind, in Russia on March, 18th the voting in presidential elections of the Russian Federation continues.

Ukraine has sent a note of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia on the consequences of the presidential election in occupied Crimea. In the Russian CEC, in response, said that the presidential elections in occupied Crimea and Sevastopol will be held in regular mode.

Representatives of the National Center for Cybercrime (NCSC) provided advice to The National Grid, which deals with electricity and gas supplies in England and Wales, to improve its protection to prevent power outages.

The probable preparation of the Kremlin-sponsored hacker attack after the poisoning in Salisbury was also warned by electricity, gas and water companies, Sellafield's nuclear power plants, Whitehall departments and the hospital were warned.

Officials from the National Cybersecurity Center told key organizations that they might face attempts to steal taxpayers' data and patients, or attacks that could stop their sites.

The Director of Operations at the National Cybersecurity Center confirmed this information.

"It's true that we give advice to the sectors to protect against cyber attacks. We are vigilant for cyber security and threats, wherever they come from, and are prepared to defend themselves from them, "he said.

Earlier, the United States accused Russia of cyberattacks on the country's energy system.

The former intelligence officer was fired in an exchange between the United States and Russia in 2010. He was pardoned by then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Then Russia, besides Violinist, sent Igor Sutyagin, Alexander Zaporizhzhya and Gennady Vasilenko to the United States. At the same time, 10 people charged with espionage in favor of Russian citizens were sent from the United States, including Anna Chapman. The violinist soon became a refuge in the UK.
