This is reported by "RBC".

Sanctions against the closest encirclement of Russian President Vladimir Putin may help the United States to change the ruling regime in Russia.

This is what Russian financier Slava Rabinovich said in an interview today.

"Obviously, Putin's decision has been made, the United States can not blame Putin for sure, but they can make this regime unbearable, try to undermine the regime from the inside. When sanctions are potentially aimed at the immediate environment, we can assume that the prosecution is followed by a conditional script called" snuffbox and scarf. "So that the Putin counterparts ended up with Putin themselves, and the regime somehow changed," explains Rabinovich.

He notes that the new US sanctions will inflict the maximum damage on people who have plundered all the plunder in Russia abroad.

The fact that the US is in no hurry to announce the names of people from Putin's closest encirclement, who have been restricted, Rabinovich describes the term open-ended.

"That is, something that does not have a definite end and an exact end date. The first instrument of open-ended sanctions was the" Magnit Act, "which other countries began to use as measures against Putin's bandits. I mean the countries of Europe and Canada," - say the financier.

Rabinovich notes that the law on anti-Russian sanctions, which was signed on August 2, gave 180 days to provide a report on the immediate surroundings of the Russian president. However, it is not noted that this should occur exactly on the 180th day. Therefore, the report may be announced earlier.

About what else can seriously damage the Putin regime, read in the column of Glory of Rabinovich on "Apostrophe": Penalty is approaching: Putin got to the finish line.

The lack of total support from Russia by the local elites and a large number of pro-Ukrainian population in other regions of Ukraine made it impossible for a large-scale Russian invasion.

This was stated by the well-known Ukrainian blogger and journalist Denys Kazansky in an interview with "Apostrophe".

"In other regions, firstly, there were no such loyal elites in Russia, and secondly, it is very important that there is no such urbanization in the Kharkiv and Odessa oblasts. In the Donetsk region, miner's cities were the focus of these (separatist) sentiments" , - said the journalist.

According to Kazan, in other regions with the pro-Russification of big cities, there are many villages where Ukrainian speak.

"If you take a small regional center, then they say either in the syryzhik or in Ukrainian, especially closer to Poltava, so there was no such thing. If in Donbass all these cities - Gorlivka, Yenakiieve, Makeyevka, Krasny Ray - became nests of separatist organizations, then in Kharkiv and Odesa there were some movements in the cities themselves, but in the oblast all this was gone, there were no serious sentiments that Russia could rely on, "Kazan said.

"We discussed with Ukraine, and said:" Listen, let's not speak with a resolution, compete. Let's try to start discussing the principles that an effective peacekeeping mission should do, and see if we can actually reach a consensus instead of competing in developing this document, "said Volker.

According to the Apostrophe, US Special Representative of the United States to Ukraine, Kurt Volker, proclaiming the date of the next meeting with the assistant to the Russian president, Vladislav Surkov, denied the information that the Kremlin insisted on the formation of a UN peacekeeping mission in the Donbas solely from the Russians.

Former Party of Regions political technologist and Donald Trump's ex-head of election campaign Paul Manafort explained at a pre-trial hearing why he traveled with a mobile phone registered in a different name and why he had three passports
Bloomberg writes about it  .

Manafort's lawyers told the judge that Manafort traveled to China and other countries with a phone number registered with his pseudonym, the name of his brother, because he wanted to remain confidential while working as a political consultant for high-ranking clients.

"For many US citizens traveling abroad and on vacation, there is a widespread practice of protecting against possible fragmentation and confiscation of their electronic devices and data," - written explanations to the federal court attorneys at Manafort.

They also stated that Manafort had one passport for travel, and the other for "applying for a visa to some foreign countries."

According to his lawyers Kevin Downing and Thomas Tselle, he lost his first passport and received a third before finding the original in a few months, as reported by the State Department.

Prosecutors believe that the  phone and several passports  indicate that Manafort can escape from the United States.
