Scandalous oligarch from Putin's environment suffers heavy losses through US sanctions: online scam
Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, who has close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin and has fallen under sanctions by the US Department of the Interior, has lost much of his capital.
So serious losses due to American restrictive measures have caused serious mockery in social networks.
It should be noted that under the influence of sanctions came Deripaska himself, and part of his business - the group "Basic Element", En + group, company "Rusal", corporation "Russian cars", GAZ group. In the first days after the introduction of restrictive measures, companies collapsed by almost a quarter, and fell on the exchange billions of dollars.

Poisoning of the Violinist: There were interesting details about the actions of Putin's agents
On the eve of the poisoning of the former Russian intelligence officer Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia, they were followed by agents from Russia.
British newspapers report referring to sources in the British intelligence service and a closed briefing on the investigation of the incident.
According to the data received, a gel-free substance in color and odor was applied to the door handle at the Skryple House in Salisbury on March 4th.
Before the poisoning on the movements of the former intelligence agent, Russian agents watched for two weeks. The day of the assassination was chosen Sunday, so that the input pen did not take off the man - the postman, or someone else.
It was previously believed that the poison was inflicted at night, but now there is a version that an attacker infused a gel in the afternoon when the owners of the house were absent.
The first violinist himself took the pen and thus received a large dose of poisonous substance. The smaller part of the gel was on the hands of his daughter Julia.
"The Kremlin wanted its agents to leave Great Britain before it could be established that the" Newbie "was used in Salisbury. Therefore, they lowered its toxicity and used poison in the form of gel rather than gas, as if the Violinists were inhaled such a gas, they would have died very quickly,"- said the source of the publication Mail on Sunday.
It is also noted that at the hospital, where the Violinists were hospitalized, there were doctors who were trained to help victims of chemical weapons at random. They used antidote for atropine and other drugs approved by the British laboratory Porton-Down.
Earlier it became known that the poison that was used in the poisoning of the violinist and his daughter, Julia, is a modification of "Novachka" with less force of action.

Medvedchuk is getting ready: a well-known journalist told about the dangerous scenario of the Kremlin in Ukraine
According to one of the Kremlin scenarios, the president of Ukraine can become the leader of the "Ukrainian Choice", which Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin Viktor Medvedchuk cites.
This famous Ukrainian journalist Vitaliy Portnikov spoke on Espero.TV.
The journalist presented a scenario in which, for a few months in the 2019 elections in Ukraine, they can unleash a new, little-known figure that will repeat populist slogans that it is necessary to conduct dialogue with Russia and the West only to put forward conditions, but not help, and then begin negotiations with Putin.
"All the talks of our patriots that Ukrainians" will never be reconciled with Russia", because they will remember their dead, about everything else - in a year all this can be done, no illusions, just a year. As soon as they agree on he said. Among the scenarios of "peace" he called the creation of some Bosnia on the Donetsk or Ukraine's granting of the actual autonomy of the region.
After the achievement of the "peace" it will be stated that voters from the occupied territory of Donbas did not vote in the 2019 elections, which will lead to early parliamentary elections in 2020-2021, after which the populist political option will change in pro-Russian and will be held ahead of schedule. Presidential Elections.
"One candidate will stand for them, there will be one candidate who will be supported by the majority of Ukrainian society, and all other candidates - in embroidery - will be crying, and they will shout that they are ready to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, and everyone will laugh at them. Because the real popular protagonist, hero, idol, a man who has agreed with Putin and the prisoners, and about integration, and everything else, he will have absolute support from citizens. This is a man who was elected in 2004 in the Kremlin as President of Ukraine ", - emphasized Port ing, alluding to Medvedchuk.
The journalist also said that in a recent interview, Medvedchuk began to venture to claim the credo of a patriot, a Ukrainian politician who acts exclusively in the interests of his own state, etc., which may indicate that the politician is already preparing for the "presidency."
According to Portnikov, if events in Ukraine develop under his scenario, in 2019 the community can "bury" their chances for a better life, and Ukraine's development will be rejected 50-70 years ago.

"One signed overseas paper - and the crisis in Russia," - ex-deputy of the State Duma Gudkov on the consequences of sanctions against the Russian Federation
A former deputy of the State Duma, Dmitry Gudkov, believes that new US sanctions will hurt the ordinary Russians, while some "individuals" can win from them.
He writes about this in his blog on "Echo of Moscow", reports Censor.NET.
"The United States has been harnessed for a long time - and it hastily drowned. Since then, a lot has happened: from Ukraine to Syria because of a lot of assassinations, thefts and simple images, but the first thread in the present side of the belt was woven at that very time," wrote the politician.

- Remember how Putin said about "Baikalfinansgroup"? - "Physical would. "And the rest of you, dear Russians necessarily know" - sums up the ex-deputy of the State Duma.
As it was reported, the US Treasury Department said that after consulting with the State Department, the US administration imposed sanctions on seven Russian businessmen, 12 companies, 17 government officials of the Russian Federation, and against a Russian arms trade company and related bank.

As reported by Censor.NET citing Russian news outlet Gazeta.ru, the diplomat said in an interview with Russian Channel One.
"This [the Skripal case] questions [Russia's] legitimacy in general. It is an attack not only on our role in the Syrian peace settlement but on our role in the international arena in general," Nebenzia said.
He also stressed that the pressure exerted on Russia was unprecedented.
On April 5, Nebenzia told the UN Security Council that Britain was "playing with fire" and had invented a "fake story". He said Britain's main goal had been "to discredit and even delegitimise" Russia and accused the government of waging a "propaganda war".
As reported, Russian ex-spy Sergei Skripal, 66, and daughter Yulia Skripal, 33, remain critically ill in hospital, after they were found unconscious on a bench in the Wiltshire city on March 4. The UK government says they were poisoned with a nerve agent of a type developed by Russia called Novichok and PM Theresa May said she believed Moscow was "culpable."
UK expelled 23 Russian diplomats as part of a "full and robust" response – prompting Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to say it will "certainly" expel British diplomats in response.
On March 16, Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance had "no reason to doubt the findings and assessments by the British government" which suggested Russian responsibility. He said the "UK is not alone" and Nato allies gave "strong political support" to Britain, following a joint statement from the US, France and Germany backing Mrs May's government and a pledge of support from Australia.
British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson said that the U.K.'s government believes that it was likely Putin's decision to direct the use of a nerve agent on the streets of the U.K.
On March 26, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the expulsion of 60 Russians from the United States, including 12 people identified as Russian intelligence officers who have been stationed at the United Nations in New York.

With the agreement, Sulzer will come out of the US sanctions imposed on Vekselberg and Renova on Friday, April 6. They automatically apply to any company in which the proportion of the businessman who has entered the list of sanctions is at least 50%. Victor Vekselberg has shares in other large Swiss companies, such as the machine-building concern Oerlikon, but it does not exceed 50%.
"Sulzer is in close contact with the authorities and believes that this agreement will remove any issues regarding the independence of Sulzer from the Renova Group," the company said in a statement based in Winterthur. The transfer of shares should take place "within a week".
Let's remind, that seven Russian oligarchs and 12 companies which they own or control are seized on the list of sanctions. Viktor Vekselberg was owned by Rusal's owner Oleg Deripaska, general director and deputy chairman of the board of directors Surgutneftegaz Volodymyr Bogdanov, billionaire Suleiman Kerimov, co-owner of Gazprom drilling Igor Rothenberg, alleged former singer of Putin Kirill Shamalov and deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Andriy Skch.

"Parcel delivered": after the poisoning of Violin was intercepted Russian message
Soon after the poisoning of Sergei and Julia Skrypal, the British Air Force intercepted a message with the text "Parcel Delivered."
According to Censor.NET with reference to Inopressa, The Times writes about it.
"According to a Sunday Express statement, the intercepted information was part of a package of intelligence that has been demonstrated to the British allies before sending dozens of Russian spies and diplomats from more than a dozen countries," reporters John Simpson and Deborah Hines report.
Sunday Express referred to insiders who saw intelligence and confirmed that the analysts of the Royal Air Force intercepted two reports in the south of Cyprus on March 4.
One of them was sent from Syria to the "official" in Moscow. It contained the phrase "Parcel delivered" and also said that two people "made a successful exit." "Having seen the message, the captain of aviation mentioned another message that was intercepted a day earlier and was not taken seriously," the article says.
"The Ministry of Defense has been unable to confirm these statements, because" they are linked to an ongoing investigation, "The Times reports.
It is alleged that the "Newbie", a neuroparalytic agent used during the attack, was converted into a slow-acting gel that would give time to escape to the attacker.

"Naftogaz" will seek arrest of assets of Gazprom in Europe - Vitrenko
NJSC Naftogaz Ukrainy plans to lodge claims to the courts of Europe to arrest the assets of the Russian company Gazprom, which does not comply with the decision of the Stockholm arbitration.
This was stated in an interview with Reuters in Brussels by the commercial director of Naftogaz Yuri Vitrenko, writes Censor. NET with reference to DW.
"It is clear to us that they will not do this, so we will start arresting gas and other assets of Gazprom in Europe, not in Ukraine. We will go to the courts in Europe," Vitrenko said.
He added that Naftogaz will not attempt to seize Russian gas transported through the Ukrainian gas transportation system (GTS) to European clients of Gazprom. "We do not want to create any political ambiguity here in the EU that Ukraine is not a reliable transit state," said Vitrenko.

He also suggested that Gazprom could completely stop gas transit through Ukraine in 2020 by redirecting it to new gas pipelines. According to Vitrenko, "Putin wants to punish Ukraine", and therefore can resort to such a step.
Recall Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko warned Germany of participating in the construction of the North Stream 2 pipeline. He noted that an alternative solution is the modernization of the existing transit gas pipeline, which passes Ukraine.
Naftogaz of Ukraine February 28 won a long-standing dispute with Russian Gazprom in the Stockholm Arbitration. The Stockholm arbitration ordered Gazprom to pay Naftogaz compensation in the amount of $4.63 billion for the short supply by Gazprom of agreed volumes of gas for transit. On March 21, Gazprom filed a lawsuit in Sweden with the Swabian County Court of Appeal for a partial annulment of the decision to arbitrate the case with Naftogaz on gas supplies. The European Commission intends to support Ukraine with regard to the implementation of the arbitration award in this dispute.
