Named the reason why Putin did not go on assaulting Kyiv

In 2014, the Kremlin had every opportunity to march to Kiev, but the possible international consequences of keeping President Vladimir Putin away from this move.

People's Deputy Dmytro Timchuk told this "Apostrophe".

According to him, if the head of the Kremlin knew that there would be no consequences, he would directly attack Ukraine immediately after the Maidan.

"If Putin understood that Russia could not afford any risks to anyone, it would have invaded Ukraine in 2014 against the backdrop of that post-mist disorientation. You remember that it was when the security forces actually did not act, he could have been free go to Kyiv, he would do it, just realized that sooner or later there will be consequences that for Russia will be, to put it mildly, not so pleasant, "- said the People's Deputy.

Russia - Ukraine News. Tuesday 11 September. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Not only Javelin: In the United States, they told what Ukraine needed to keep Russia at sea

Not only Javelin: In the United States, they told what Ukraine needed to keep Russia at sea

The United States should pay attention to the threats to Ukraine in the Black and Azov Seas, as well as to strengthen the military capabilities of the Ukrainian Army to counter possible attacks on these lines by Russian troops.

This is in an article for the Atlantic Council written by Senior Researcher of the American Foreign Policy Council, Stephen Blank.

According to him, Moscow is simultaneously conducting a military and economic war against Kiev in the Black and Azov seas. She blocked Ukrainian ships in both waters, insisting on their right to check "foreign" ships, and also expanded the maritime exclusion zone to Odesa.

Blank believes that Russia has the opportunity to conduct landing operations on the Ukrainian coast.

"What would this attack look like? Russia could shell out Ukraine's ground bases from the ships, another option - to use the military-landing troops or to confuse their offensive with the operation at sea. The fact that all Russian airborne forces participate in the" East "exercises -2018 "may indicate the readiness of the Russian government to apply them to a future" landing "landing during the first phase of a mixed-forces attack on the Ukrainian Black Sea coast." The Moscow blockade of the Azov Sea is likely to expand on the entire coast of Ukraine, including Odessa. These attacks can be taken under the control of energy deposits in the Black Sea basin, which are still under the control of Kyiv, "the expert wrote.

Therefore, in his opinion, there is an urgent need for the United States to provide a new weapon for Ukraine now.

"How would it be possible to quickly make Ukrainian weapons capable of defeating Russia's offensive from the sea? First of all, Washington could send anti-ship missiles US-AGM-84 Harpoon Block II (" Harpoon ") to Ukraine, long-range anti-ship missiles AGM-158C LRASM A, as well as Norwegian NSM missiles, but Ukraine also needs reliable launch platforms and targeting systems, including radars, "recalls Blank.

"Since Moscow does not want to comply with the Minsk treaties or negotiate a new peaceful solution, the United States and key European allies should unite Ukraine's ability to self-defense with even greater global pressure on Moscow," he said.

"Elections" in the occupied Donbas contradict the Minsk treaties - the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Russia - Ukraine News. Tuesday 11 September. [Ukrainian sources] Censor_news_big3

"Elections" in the territory of the occupied Donbass contradict the Minsk agreements and do not comply with the legislation of Ukraine.

As informs Censor.NET with reference to the League , this is stated in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France.

"France again affirms its commitment to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders. The election announcement on November 11, 2018 is contrary to the Minsk treaties, which remain the sole basis for a political settlement of the conflict in the East of Ukraine," the statement said.

The statement also states that any initiative to hold an election that is not provided for by the Minsk Agreements and does not comply with Ukrainian legislation is subject to conviction.

Earlier, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry stated that the intentions of the occupation administration of the Russian Federation to hold so-called "extraordinary elections" in the temporarily occupied territories of the Donbas roughly violate Russia's obligations as a party to the Minsk accords.

On September 8, the European Union condemned the intentions to hold elections, which were declared by the terrorist groups "DNR" and "LNR".

Baluch's condition has deteriorated, he has to use analgesics

Russia - Ukraine News. Tuesday 11 September. [Ukrainian sources] Censor_news_big3

Attorney Olga Dinze on September 10, 2018, after a trial, visited a Ukrainian activist, political prisoner Vladimir Baluch in the SIZO of Simferopol.

This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to the site of the Crimean Human Rights Group.

According to Olga Dinze, the Ukrainian has a very poor appearance. "In my client's painful appearance, he feels very bad. Volodymyr suffers from severe headaches, dizziness, back pain and liver pain, and he uses analgesics." The situation with starvation remains unchanged, "Olga Dinze said.

Recall that on the morning of September 10, a court session in the "Supreme Court" of the occupied Crimea took place . The court did not uphold the appeal against protecting Ukrainians from the refusal of the "Railway District Court" of Simferopol to suspend the proceedings on the request for parole release of Volodymyr Baluch.

The court also did not revoke a court order to extend the preventive measure.

At the beginning of the court hearing, "Prosecutor" Denis Myshkin asked to stop the consideration of the application for conditional release on the first sentence, as a new conviction had already been pronounced. "Judge" has satisfied the petition of the "prosecutor".

The meeting was open, but Volodymyr Baluch himself was not delivered to the courtroom, he participated in the meeting by means of video communication.

According to the lawyer, the meeting was very tense, Volodymyr Baluch resented the speech of the Russian prosecutor, who called the decision of the "Railway District Court" of Simferopol to refuse the DDU "justified and legitimate".

"Vladimir was outraged and stated that he no longer wanted to" take part in this farce." "The judge "decided to disconnect the prison from the SIZO, effectively removing Baluch from the sitting," Olga Dinzha said.

The lawyer stressed that, when considering the appeal on the decision on conditional release of Volodymyr Baluch, "the Supreme Court" referred to the characteristics of an activist from the administration of the Crimean SIZO, which was not studied in the "trial" of the first instance. Olga Dinze considers such a court decision to be unwarranted and unlawful.

The United States at the OSCE urged Russia to release Oleg Sentsov

The United States urged Russia to release Oleg Sentsov, a Ukrainian film director, political prisoner of the Kremlin.

This was stated by head of the American delegation Michael Kozak at a meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe on human rights.

"The United States delegation calls for the release of director Oleg Sentsov and other Ukrainian citizens who are held by Russia through their peaceful opposition to the occupation of Crimea and aggression in eastern Ukraine," the statement said in a statement by the US mission to the OSCE.

The United States stressed that Russia should release political prisoners immediately.

Earlier, at the opening of the OSCE meeting, public activists supported the political prisoner Oleg Sentsov.

In Warsaw, a two-week OSCE meeting began, where human rights and freedoms were discussed. About 1,500 officials and civil society representatives from OSCE and partner countries take part in the event.

Lawyer Sentsova also informed Gromadsky that the situation of the Ukrainian director is stable, although Russian colony employees are concerned about his health. Sentsova trying to "break" , so that he stopped fasting. Dinzu stressed that this could not be called pressure, but it seems like monotonous persuasions that take place every day.

On August 8, the sister of a political prisoner, Natalia Kaplan, said that Sentsov's condition was heavy: he could not walk , nor did he send letters.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko called Sentsov a symbol of incongruity for the whole world , congratulating citizens on the Day of Ukrainian Cinema.

Oleg Sentsov's mother Lyudmila wrote to Putin a petition for pardon . Read the full text of Ludmila Sentsova 's appeal for pardon. At the Presidential Administration, they said that, in order to pardon, Sentsov himself had to write a request to Putin.

On July 13, a video with Sentsov, recorded on the 18th day of his hunger strike, was published. This is the first 2 years footage with Sentsov in prison.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine urged partners to intensify pressure on Russia to liberate Sentsov.

Politician Oleg Sentsov , illegally sentenced to 20 years in the colony, May 14, 2018, declared a hunger strike. Sentsov demands the release of all Ukrainian political prisoners of the Kremlin. On May 28, Sentsov agreed to supportive therapy.

He began to starve before the FIFA World Cup, which took place in Russia to attract as many people as possible.

On July 5, his sister Natalia Kaplan visited his short-term date with Sentsov in the "White Bear" colony in Labitnangi. This was the first meeting for 3 years . They spoke for two hours.

Ukrainian director Oleg Sentsov and activist Oleksandr Kolchenko were detained in Crimea on May 10, 2014. They were accused of preparing terrorist acts, convicting Kolchenko to 10, and Sentsova - up to 20 years imprisonment. Together with them were also arrested by Gennady Afanasyev and Alexei Chirnya. Afanasyeva exchanged in 2016, Chirnaya is still in a colony in the Shahty of the Rostov region.

In Russia and in the annexed Crimea, there are 64 Ukrainian political prisoners, 27 of which are in Russia.

58 - detained in the Crimea or in cases related to the Crimea. These figures do not take into account the prisoners held in the territory of self-appointed republics.

Russia - Ukraine News. Tuesday 11 September. [Ukrainian sources] Empty The International Criminal Court responded to US sanctions on sanctions

Tue Sep 11, 2018 10:11 am
The International Criminal Court responded to US sanctions on sanctions

In the International Criminal Court (ICC), they said they were not concerned about the statement of the adviser to the President of the United States on national security John Bolton on the possibility of sanctions

Reuters reports citing a court application.

The statement states that the ISS is an impartial and independent institution supported by 123 states.

"The ISS as a legitimate court will continue to carry out its work in accordance with these principles and the key idea of ​​the rule of law," the statement said.

Earlier, John Bolton said the United States was prepared to apply sanctions against the International Criminal Court in The Hague if it would investigate US troops in Afghanistan.

"The United States will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and our allies from the unjust criminal prosecution of this illegitimate trial," Bolton said.

The United States refused to join the court during George W. Bush's first presidential term when Bolton was Deputy Undersecretary and later Ambassador to the United Nations. After leaving the Bush administration, the White House has shown less resistance to the work of the court, even expressing support for the investigation of atrocities in Darfur.

Under President Barack Obama, the United States began to assist the court in investigating and reorientated to a policy of "positive engagement." Nevertheless, the United States has never joined the court.

Russia - Ukraine News. Tuesday 11 September. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Russia and China have agreed to jointly resist US trade policy

Tue Sep 11, 2018 1:38 pm
Russia and China have agreed to jointly resist US trade policy

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a joint meeting at a summit in Vladivostok, in which he agreed to develop bilateral relations and jointly "resist the factors of instability in the world" and the trade policy of the United States.

This was reported by Bloomberg.

Although the leaders of the two states did not directly call the United States in a joint statement, they stressed that they were going to jointly stand up to unfair trade practices and the application of trade protectionism.

It should be noted that the US is currently conducting a trade war against China, as well as imposing duties on steel and aluminum, in particular of Russian origin.

In addition, at the time of the summit, Moscow began the largest military exercises since the Cold War, joined by the military forces of China.

A meeting between the two leaders took place after the next announcement of the President of the USA on the introduction of a new portion of duties on Chinese imports. In particular, analysts estimate that in the event of the entry into force of new customs duties on $267 billion of Chinese imports, all goods imported from China to the United States will be subject to additional taxation.

On the eve of Trump warned a number of American companies, in particular Apple, about the transfer of their production outside of China because of the probable rise in price of their products.

In the United States, on July 6, 25% customs duties on goods from China came into force. The total cost of new restrictions is estimated at $16 billion.

In Washington, the introduction of such duties was explained by the fact that "Chinese enterprises conquer US intellectual property and technology, and also Beijing practices unfair practices on the market."

At the same time, the Chinese authorities are planning to introduce similar US customs restrictions on US goods. After that, Trump threatened China with new charges of$200 billion.

In general, since the beginning of a trade dispute with China, the United States has imposed customs restrictions on $50 billion in Chinese imports.

Earlier, it was reported that due to the introduction by the US administration of Donald Trump of import tariffs from China, about $2.5 billion of investment in the construction of solar power stations was frozen or rejected.

Recall that on May 29th, it was also learned about Tramp's plans to introduce regular tariff restrictions on additional $50 billion in Chinese goods in mid-June 2018. This decision contradicts the message of the US Ministry of Finance that, at the time of trade negotiations, no new customs duties on Chinese goods will be introduced.

In order to resolve the trade disputes between countries, non-public talks began. Subsequently, there were known US demands for China to stop the "trade war" between the countries.

China and the United States have agreed to increase US $60-90 billion in imports of US goods to resolve trade disputes.

In the United States, they were told that they would insist on signing long-term contracts for the supply of American goods to the Chinese market.

Trade relations between the United States and China were one of Donald Trump's pre-election campaign priorities. Each year, China sells goods to the United States more than $300 billion more than American products.

The United States also imposed duties on steel and aluminum. The EU and Canada reported being complaints to the World Trade Organization.

Russia - Ukraine News. Tuesday 11 September. [Ukrainian sources] Empty NATO is surprised that a part of Ukrainians believe in the myths about the Alliance

Tue Sep 11, 2018 1:47 pm
NATO is surprised that a part of Ukrainians believe in the myths about the Alliance

The North Atlantic Alliance is generally satisfied with the level of support for the idea of ​​Ukraine's accession to NATO, but at the same time it is surprised by the deep rootedness in the minds of some Ukrainians of the myth of the aggressiveness of the bloc

This was stated by Director of the Center for Information and Documentation of NATO in Ukraine Barbora Maronkova, reports Ukrinform.

She noted that somewhat improved the awareness of citizens about what NATO is and what it means for the Alliance membership for the country. At the same time, Maronkova stated that in the thoughts of Ukrainian citizens, there are still many myths and stereotypes about NATO aggression that are fueled by various political forces in Ukraine and propaganda against the Alliance, which comes from Russia and is being conducted in Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine.

According to her, this stereotype has succeeded in pushing for the part of citizens from the consciousness, but the words "aggressive military imperialist bloc" are constantly reflected in the responses of respondents.

"I am not a historian, not a sociologist and not a Sovietologist; in my opinion, the word" imperialist "is associated with very old times, and in 2018, its use for me is rather strange, but in the minds of people, this myth still clings to it and it still lives I hope that in a few years, words such as the alliance, the political military organization and the organization of collective security will prevail in the minds of ordinary people of Ukraine, such as NATO, "added Maronkova.

-More than 40% of Ukrainians support the country's entry into NATO , according to a survey by the Democratic Initiatives Foundation. Ilka Kucheriv and the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS).
