Hungary - Ukraine News in brief. Thursday 8 March. [Ukrainian sources] Empty In Britain, they are called to investigate another 14 deaths after the Violence poisoning

In Britain, they are called to investigate another 14 deaths after the Violence poisoning

In Britain, following the poisoning of Russia's former intelligence officer, the Violinist is asked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate another 14 suspicious deaths in the country.

This is reported by the Air Force.

The head of the parliamentary committee on internal affairs, Ivet Cooper, in an appeal to the head of the Interior Ministry of Britain, calls for the investigation of 14 deaths that the British police did not consider suspicious before, but which US intelligence services consider potentially related to Russia.

The deaths in question were different: heart attacks, suicides, accidents, death from natural causes.

Recall that on March 4 in Great Britain, a  66-year-old Russian citizen Sergei Skripal arrived at the hospital in Moscow with severe poisoning  . With him  was his daughter .

The British intelligence said it believes  Russia is involved in the poisoning of the  Ex-intelligence Fighter.

The police said that the violin was  poisoned by the substance of the neuro-paralytic action .

Sergei Skripal, a Russian military reconnaissance colonel in retirement in 2006, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for espionage in favor of Britain. He was found guilty of giving testimony to Russian agents working under cover of the EU, the Secret Intelligence of Britain.

The ex-scout was released during an exchange between the United States and Russia in 2010. He was pardoned by then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. Then Russia, in addition to 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 the Russian Federation were sent from the United States, including Anna Chapman.

The violinist soon became a refuge in the UK.

"American Network of Friends of Ukraine" urged urgent measures to create an Anti-corruption court in Ukraine

Hungary - Ukraine News in brief. Thursday 8 March. [Ukrainian sources] Censor_news_big3

Ex-US ambassadors have voiced critically important reforms for Ukraine.

The Friends of Ukraine Network, which includes ex-ambassadors and US experts, has voiced critically important reforms that need to be implemented in Ukraine, Censor.NET reports with reference to the UP. The corresponding statement of the Friends of Ukraine Network initiative was published on the non-state "Ukraine-USA Foundation" website.

It should be noted that the statement was signed by former US ambassadors in Ukraine William Miller, Stephen Pifer, Roman Popadiuk, William Taylor and experts from well-known organizations.

"We (Friends of Ukraine Network - Ed.) Applaud Ukraine for having implemented more reforms in many industries over the past four years than in the previous two decades, but it needs to demonstrate stronger leadership, greater efforts and commitment to combating global and long-standing corruption in the public and private sectors, "the statement said.

Ex-ambassadors and US experts noted that despite the creation of new anti-corruption bodies, including NABU, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office and the NACC, their structure remains incomplete, the work of existing bodies is an obstacle, anti-corruption activists are being subjected to injustice and persecution.

In his statement, the American Network of Friends of Ukraine called on the Verkhovna Rada and the Government of Ukraine to take immediate and urgent action to establish an independent specialized anti-corruption court in full compliance with the recommendations of the Venice Commission and the IMF program conditions; support, not undermining the work of NABU and SAP; reform the NACC and update its leadership in order to ensure full and effective control over the verification of the status of Ukrainian officials; as well as the abolition of the controversial provisions of the anti-corruption law, which requires individuals and organizations involved in anti-corruption activities to submit annual property declarations.

In addition, experts call for the abolition or limitation of the immunity of deputies in such a way as to make possible the lawful prosecution of crimes, especially in corruption cases.

Note that the "American Network of Friends of Ukraine" is a non-partisan, informal coalition of former ambassadors, international security experts and other specialists who have been dealing with key aspects of Ukraine's relations with the United States and the international community.

Hungary - Ukraine News in brief. Thursday 8 March. [Ukrainian sources] Empty This could be a trap - Rasmussen's plan on Putin's peacekeepers in the Donbas

Thu Mar 08, 2018 12:00 pm
This could be a trap - Rasmussen's plan on Putin's peacekeepers in the Donbas

The introduction of a full-fledged peacekeeping mission to Donbas will contribute to the implementation of the Minsk Agreements.

This was stated by former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in an interview with Jeanne Nemtsov at Deutsche Welle, transfers Tsenzor.NET.

"I think the peacekeeping mission would become a mechanism for the implementation of the Minsk Agreements," he said.

Meanwhile, according to Rasmussen, "there is no progress at all." He believes that the reason for this is the lack of a mechanism to force the Minsk agreements. Rasmussen said that it is unrealistic for Ukraine to organize elections in the Donbass region while firing, killing people. According to him, it is necessary to stop the bloodshed, to create peace in the region before moving on to the implementation of the Minsk agreements.

Rasmussen advocates the idea of ​​a strong peacekeeping force that has the mandate to control the state border between Ukraine and Russia in order to stop the import of military equipment and soldiers from Russia.

Rasmussen also believes that the plan of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, on the UN mission is a likely "trap" because Putin's proposal implies a small peacekeeping force that will be allowed to remain on the clash line "between free Ukraine and its occupied part," and only for the sake of protection of OSCE observers.

Answering the question of whether the international community responded appropriately to the annexation of the Crimea adequately, Rasmussen said that "they responded as they could and as they were." Among other things, sanctions were initiated, which gradually intensified. "I think these sanctions have damaged Russia. They raised the price of this illegal campaign - the capture of the Crimea," he said.

Moreover, the former head of NATO stressed, the Alliance decided to increase its overall defense capability. "One can say that President Putin has contributed to increased investment in defense within the entire NATO," he said.

Russia failed to put Ukraine as an unreliable transit partner, the US State Department

Hungary - Ukraine News in brief. Thursday 8 March. [Ukrainian sources] Censor_news_big3

The intention of the Russian Gazprom to set Ukraine and Naftogaz as unreliable partners failed, say in the State Department of the United States.

This is reported by Tsensor.NET with reference to Radio Liberty.

"Ukrainian citizens have inspired the world, united to reduce gas consumption by 14% last week to ensure a reliable supply of gas to European consumers. Gazprom failed to put Ukraine and Naftoha as unreliable transit partners," wrote the Twitter spokesman for the State Department of the Interior Geder Naurer.

Read: Action "Squeeze" has strengthened the authority of Ukraine and has become an image loss for Russia - Poroshenko

Recall that Gazprom, after losing in the Stockholm Arbitration, filed suit Naftohaz Ukrainy on the commencement of a procedure for termination of contracts with the Ukrainian company for the supply and transit of gas.

The Stockholm arbitration ordered Gazprom to pay Naftogaz Ukrainy Naftogaz of Ukraine $4.63 billion for the short supply of agreed gas volumes for transit. Thus, according to the results of two arbitration disputes between companies for the supply and transit of gas, Gazprom will pay NAK $2.56 billion.

For its part, Gazprom has confirmed that it will pay Naftogaz of Ukraine $ 2.56 billion by arbitration in Stockholm.

At the same time, Gazprom refused to start deliveries of gas to Naftogaz Ukrainy in March and repaid the prepayment, insisting on the necessity of signing an additional agreement to a valid contract for 2009-2019.

Ukrtransgaz said that Gazprom has not met the technical requirements since the beginning of the year, supplying gas to the Ukrainian border with a lower than contractual pressure.

Head of NJSC "Naftogaz of Ukraine" Andriy Kobolev said about Ukraine's gas shortage of about 10 million cubic meters per day due to frost and the refusal of Gazprom in its deliveries, because of this, proposed to introduce restrictions on gas consumption in the country on 3-4 March 2018.

Ukraine has reduced its gas consumption by 14% during the "Squeeze" action.

NATO in the fall will hold Europe's largest training since the Cold War, - Commander of the US Marine Corps General Nelle

In the fall of 2018, the North Atlantic Alliance will hold Trident Juncture, the largest ever since the Cold War, in Europe.

US Marine Corps Commander General Robert Neller said at a hearing in the House of Representatives on March 7, Cenzor.NET, referring to the " Public", reports.

"In October this year, major NATO exercises will be held, which will become the largest since the peak of the Cold War," the commander said.

He added that some 45,000 troops from NATO countries will take part in the exercises, as well as dozens of ships and aircraft involved in exercises off the coast of Norway to reflect the "simulated threat".

Training Trident Juncture is held once every three years. By the last maneuvers in 2015, which was attended by about 36 thousand troops of NATO countries, Ukraine also joined.

The Cold War is a global geopolitical, economic and ideological confrontation between the Soviet Union and its allies, on the one hand, and the United States, the countries of Western Europe and their allies, on the other, which lasted from the mid-1940s to the early 1990's.

The UN peacekeeping mission in six months can create conditions for elections in the Donbas, Volker

Hungary - Ukraine News in brief. Thursday 8 March. [Ukrainian sources] Censor_news_big3

The United States proposes to take the following steps in relation to the Donbas: Russia must leave the occupied territories, the LNR and the DPR should be disbanded, and the UN peacekeeping mission should be given a mandate for security throughout the Donbas, including the Ukrainian-Russian border.
This was stated on Wednesday by the Special Representative of the United States Department of State for Ukraine Kurt Volker during a speech at the Warsaw branch of The German Marshall Fund, Cenzor.NET reports, referring to  Ukrinform.

"If this territory remains occupied by Russia and there are unconstitutional" LNR "and" DNR "entities, how can this status be implemented? This requires peace and security in order to conduct an election campaign so that the election commission can act so that candidates can conduct their own campaign for people to come home, for which we need to have United Nations peacekeepers for about six months, which will create conditions for the elections, "Volker said.

He stressed that the US proposals are as follows: Russia must leave the occupied territories, "LNR" and "DPR" must be disbanded, and the UN peacekeeping mission should be given a mandate to establish security throughout the Donbas, including the area of ​​the Ukrainian-Russian border.

"I am convinced that Ukraine feels its responsibility and is ready to do so," said the Special Representative of the US State Department. But Russia, as Volker noticed, does not want to give control over the occupied territory.

The United States Special Representative stressed that Washington offers a full UN mission to the Donbas, which no one will limit its actions, as is currently being done in the occupied territories in the case of the OSCE mission.

According to him, on the issue of deploying a United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Donbass with a security mandate throughout the United States, they are in constant contact with representatives of the Norman group, members of NATO and the EU, including Poland.

"We want to show Russia that this is not only a kind of American idea, but it's international realities with which it should be considered," the American diplomat stated.

Volker noted that now the United States is working to persuade Russia that the further occupation of Donbas is not in its best interest.

"We are trying to show Russia that the price of occupation for her is high and in the future it will only grow, so we hope that Russia will adopt other strategic decisions in the future," said the US special envoy.

He noted that Russia is still waiting for the situation in Ukraine to return to the period before 2014, and pro-Russian forces will come to power in the country.

"But the reality is that the Russian aggression and the occupation of part of the territory led to the reverse - to a greater unity of Ukrainians around national values ​​and the orientation of Ukraine to the West, which was never before." They (Russians - Ed.) Lost their young generation of Ukrainians " - stressed Volker.

According to him, "impossible" is the productive relations of the United States with Russia without resolving the conflict in the east of Ukraine.

He also reminded that the EU and US sanctions against Russia "will increase", while Washington provides military assistance to Ukraine, having recently lifted restrictions on arms supplies.

Hungary - Ukraine News in brief. Thursday 8 March. [Ukrainian sources] Censor_news_big3

Neighboring countries such as Poland or Hungary, arguing with Ukraine on various issues, must take into account the fact that Kyiv is now fighting the aggressor for its eastern country.

This opinion was expressed during a speech at the Warsaw branch of the German Marshall Fund, responding to a question about the deterioration of the Polish-Ukrainian relations on a historic plane, Kurt Volker, Special Representative of the United States Department of State for Ukraine, said Wednesday, referring to the Censor.NET, referring to Ukrinform.

"Everyone must realize the drama facing Ukraine: the daily protection of its territory, the loss of soldiers on a weekly basis... This is a dramatic experience that everyone should be aware of - Poland, the USA, Germany and others," Volker said.

He stressed that Ukraine is now strengthening its national identity and needs respect and understanding.

The Special Representative of the United States noted that there is a general awareness that the Russian occupation of Ukrainian territory applies to all countries - Poland, countries of the region and Europe. He stressed that if someone changes the borders by force, then this does not increase stability in Europe.

Volker noted that not everyone can like what Ukraine does. "But we have to understand why it does it. We have to see a big picture, because the family of European peoples needs help (Ukraine - Ed.) To regain control over their territory. I think this is the approach that should be applied during daily discussions (with Ukraine - Ed.), "said the Special Representative of the US State Department.

US Deputy Secretary of Defense John Rud invaded Russia and China as a major and growing threat to the United States' national security.

According to JR Road, these threats will only grow, in this regard, and their allies should increase their military spending.

He once again accused Russia of violating the agreement on medium and narrower missiles (DTSN).

Hungary - Ukraine News in brief. Thursday 8 March. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Hungary has run into elections and exceeds powers on the territory of Ukraine

Thu Mar 08, 2018 12:32 pm
Hungary has run into elections and exceeds powers on the territory of Ukraine

According to Deputy Minister of the Interior Olena Zerkal, Ukraine has taken a fairly rigid stance on all issues with Hungary.

She said this on the air on Channel 5, reports Tsensor.NET.



"They allow themselves to make statements about all - both Austrians and Romanians," said Zerkal.

The deputy minister said that the deportation of the Hungarian ambassador would be non-diplomatic. However, she said, scheduled talks with him over the abuse of authority.

"They have flocked to the election not only in our territory, but in fact they play both in Romania and in Slovakia, but Romanians are still in the European Union, and we depend on how the Hungarians behave, for example, there are certain peculiarities in NATO. At the same time, I now think that we have taken a rather rigid position, and it is unchanged in our country, that according to the law on education, which is on the remaining issues, "Zerkhal said.

The Deputy Minister believes that the problem that has arisen in Transcarpathia is also due to the fact that decentralization reform has not been carried out in the region.

Recall that on March 7, Hungarian Ambassador to Ukraine Erno Keshken commented on the issuance of Hungarian passports to ethnic Hungarians - citizens of Ukraine residing in Transcarpathia. In his opinion, this is the norm . He also said that there is nothing wrong with the autonomy.

On February 5, Hungary once again announced the need for an OSCE mission in Transcarpathia. This happened after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hungary condemned the attack on the building of the Association of Hungarian Culture of Transcarpathia in Uzhgorod. The initiative was also supported by the company.

Hungary - Ukraine News in brief. Thursday 8 March. [Ukrainian sources] Empty In the Assumption Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra prayed for victory in the war with Russia: 30 people prayed at candlesticks, because the priests of the Moscow Patriarchate turned their light off

Thu Mar 08, 2018 7:24 pm
In the Assumption Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra prayed for victory in the war with Russia: 30 people prayed at candlesticks, because the priests of the Moscow Patriarchate turned their light off

About 30 people who are believers of several Ukrainian Orthodox churches (UOC-KP, UAOC, UGCC) staged a prayer flash mob in the Assumption Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, which for a long time belonged to the Ukrainian Orthodox, but was recently transferred to the Moscow Patriarchate
The story of their action, along with the staff prayers young people posted on YouTube.

"The Assumption Cathedral was built at the expense of the citizens of Kiev, but a couple of years ago the Kiev authorities passed it to the Moscow Patriarchate, which is a terrible mistake," said one of the organizers of the action, the veteran of the ATO Oleksiy Serdyuk.

According to him, their prayer lasted 45 minutes.

In order to prevent the action, the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra administration first switched off the lighting, but the believers took candles and prayed with candles.

This was the first prayer service in the Assumption Cathedral, and in general at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, when the patriots prayed instead of the Moscow agents, was the first prayer service in the last years in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. This heroic day may be the beginning of the fact that in all the churches in Moscow, more precisely in the churches occupied by the Moscow agents, the services of the Kiev Patriarchate, autocephalous and anyone to serve only the ROC will now be carried out, "Serdyuk added.

The clergyman of the Kyivan Patriarchate, who stated that such actions will be systematic and the nearest meeting will be held "in the near future", was directed by the clergyman.

This promotion took place on March 7, 2018.




According to the declassified archives of the SBU, the local council of the Russian Orthodox Church, in which Moscow Patriarch was elected in 1945, was held under the control of the Stalinist People's Commissariat of State Security (NKVD), the predecessor of the KGB of the USSR.
