Deputy Chairman Gerashchenko said that Putin speaks about Medvedchuk

Gerashchenko said that Medvedchuk has contact with the other party and this is important in order to extract hostages

First Vice Speaker Irina Gerashchenko in an interview with "Tsenzor.NET" told about Medvedchuk role in the liberation of Ukrainian prisoners and how to overcome ideological differences with the chief negotiator.
Gerashchenko reminded how, in November 2015 the Security Service of Ukraine was established a task force to free the hostages.

"Security was based on the fact that the Ukrainian side has used every opportunity to pull our people; therefore, it (the group. - Ed.) should include people who have the opportunity to enter into dialogue with the party. At the other side, I mean the Russian Federation, and representatives of the so called authorities of the occupied territories. This group included then deputy head of the SBU Basil Hrycak, his adviser Tandit and Viktor Medvedchuk. He conducts a dialogue with the other party. In the subgroup of humanitarian Medvedchuk also been delegated, and its main mission - to free the hostages. Yes, he has contact with the other party and this is important in order to extract the hostages, "- said the first vice-speaker.

She also noted that she Medvedchuk ideologically different views on many things.

" But the humanitarian group we work exclusively dismissal prisoners. As for Viktor Medvedchuk, it is negotiating with another party. In telephone conversations with the president of Ukraine, Putin said: "Yes, these files should be transferred to Mr Medvedchuk, and will continue this work." And he led the negotiations ", - added Gerashchenko.
On the question about how to work in a team with someone who does not share your ideological convictions, Gerashchenko said this:" For me it is important to release the boys. I go delegated, and if for me in my work there the way is totally unacceptable, I must go there. And for me it is important to Ukraine. Without pathos. I never postuplyusya its principles. My political views are also known. Including Mr. Medvedchuk. Including my attitude to the topics of the EU-Ukraine Ukraine-NATO and Ukraine-Russia. We do not violate these issues during meetings of the Minsk Group. There goes the conversation about the release of hostages, "- explained Deputy Speaker.

Asked who finds himself in a group Medvedchuk, Gerashchenko said that the question placed incorrectly.

" I still prefer to talk about yourself, not for others it incorrectly. I really think it necessary to seek all possible political and diplomatic solution to the conflict; Secondly, I want to bring good news to relatives of hostages; and thirdly, to use any chance to help Ukraine and make life difficult for the Russian Federation as the country-aggressor. And who, whom, which considers itself - is a matter for them ", - she said.

At that Gerashchenko is convinced that the situation in which our country was" very important to have wisdom. And the trick."

Russia sends more warplanes to Syria amid world anger at 'barbarous' strikes

Russia is sending more warplanes to Syria to ramp up its campaign of air strikes, a Russian newspaper reported on Friday, as Moscow defied global censure over an escalation that Western countries say has torpedoed diplomacy, according to Reuters.

U.S. President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel described the Russian and Syrian bombing of the city of Aleppo as "barbarous", the White House said after the two leaders spoke by telephone, Reuters wrote. Fighting intensified a week into a new Russian-backed government offensive to capture all of Syria's largest city and crush the last remaining urban stronghold of the rebellion. Moscow and its ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, spurned a ceasefire agreed this month to launch the offensive, potentially the biggest and most decisive battle in the Syrian civil war which is now in its sixth year. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday that Moscow was ready to consider more ways to normalize the situation in Aleppo. But in a phone call with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Lavrov criticized Washington's failure to separate moderate rebel groups from those the Russians call terrorists, which had allowed forces led by the group formerly known as the Nusra front to violate the truce brokered by Moscow and Washington. The call came a day after Kerry said there was no point pursuing further negotiations with Russia over Syria "in the context of the kind of bombing taking place". Western countries accuse Russia of war crimes, saying it has deliberately targeted civilians, hospitals and aid deliveries in recent days to crush the will of 250,000 people trapped inside Aleppo's besieged rebel-held sector. Moscow and Damascus say they have targeted only militants................

Ukraine crisis. News in brief. Friday 30 September. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Russia dismisses U.S. threat to suspend Syria talks as Aleppo battle rages

Fri Sep 30, 2016 3:43 pm
Russia dismisses U.S. threat to suspend Syria talks as Aleppo battle rages

Russia escalated its anti-American invective Thursday in the deadlocked diplomacy over the Syrian war, dismissing a threat by Secretary of State John Kerry to halt talks and accusing his spokesman of abetting global terrorism — including against Russian military personnel in Syria.

The Russian response came as United Nations officials warned that 600 wounded civilians in the rebel-held districts of the divided northern city of Aleppo must be evacuated and that food is nearly exhausted for the 275,000 residents trapped there.

The residents have been pummeled for the past week by Syrian and Russian airstrikes, including by powerful bombs that can pulverize underground shelters. The top emergency relief official for the U.N., Stephen O’Brien, told the Security Council on Thursday that Aleppo faced a “humanitarian catastrophe unlike any we have witnessed in Syria.”

The Russians, the main military allies of President Bashar Assad, offered 48-hour pauses in Aleppo to permit humanitarian access, an idea that Western diplomats and U.N. officials have rejected as impractical and meaningless. Kerry has demanded a return to the cessation of hostilities agreement he negotiated with Foreign Minister Sergey V. Lavrov on Sept. 9, which collapsed a week later.

In some of his strongest criticism of Russia over the Syria conflict, Kerry said Wednesday that unless the Syrians and Russians quit their barrage of Aleppo and restored the Sept. 9 agreement, the United States would suspend talks and scrap a plan to collaborate with Russia on targeting jihadi fighters in Syria that both powers regard as terrorist threats.

Russian officials not only rejected that warning on Thursday, but also angrily denounced Kerry’s spokesman, John Kirby, for having suggested that Russia’s prosecution of the Syria conflict would come back to haunt the Kremlin, leading to terrorist attacks on Russian targets and Russian soldiers’ returning home in “body bags.”

Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, a spokesman for Russia’s Defense Ministry, said in a statement that Kirby’s comments were “the most frank confession by the U.S. side so far that the whole ‘opposition’ ostensibly fighting a ‘civil war’ in Syria is a U.S.-controlled terrorist international,” a Soviet-era term for a global organization.

Any dialogue with the Americans, Konashenkov said, “must exclude even a hint at threatening our servicemen and Russian citizens.”.................
