Ukraine News. Sunday 22 April. [Ukrainian sources] Empty In Russia, they admitted that Putin had united Ukraine with its aggression

Sun Apr 22, 2018 12:45 pm
In Russia, they admitted that Putin had united Ukraine with its aggression

Russian writer and journalist Viktor Shenderovich said that the aggression of the Russian Federation served as the unification of Ukraine.

This point of view he voiced in an interview Censor.Net.

Asked about what, in his opinion, unites Ukraine, Shenderovich replied: "Russia war."

"Of course. Putin has served Ukraine's statehood so much, because when it comes to such opportunities with you, the details of your internal representations about economic programs, etc., go to the background." The fire helped her to decorate a lot, "as it is said in the classics, and it's like in 1941: some differences are no longer important, but then the typical drama begins: you're being asked to be either for Hitler, or for Stalin, and nothing else is offered, and we see the history of Vlasov, the history of Ukrainian insurgents.. "Tragic stories", - belt See journalist.

At the same time, Shendredovich noted that Russians were responsible for aggression and blame for Ukrainians.

"There are no claims from the Russian side here, but we can only apologize for allowing the monster to go to power, which could not be prevented." Excuse me, nothing but anything. "It's mostly reflection inside Russia. Because we, I repeat, have almost completely lost the ability to talk. Then, when we find ourselves in these ruins, when Satan will remove it is our chemical miracle... "- he said.

Its reality is shocking: the reason for Putin's aggression against Russia's neighbors is named

The aggressive policy of Russian President Vladimir Putin against neighboring countries may be aimed at returning to the time of the Soviet Union.

About this the Czech diplomat Karel Schwarzenberg told "Apostrophe" within the framework of the 11th Kiev Security Forum.

The European diplomat recalled that Putin was an agent of the KGB in the GDR, when Russian tanks and troops stood in Germany, and much of Asia belonged to the USSR.

"I think that, with his revisionist policy, Volodymyr Volodymyrovych wants to return to the world in which the Soviet Union existed," he said. "But his reality is shocking. I understand that he is nostalgic for those times."

"It's all simple: Putin is a revisionist. He is fairly honest in this and himself admitted that the greatest catastrophe of the 20th century is the collapse of the Soviet Union, after two world wars that survived the world in that century," Schwarzenberg summed up.

Ukraine News. Sunday 22 April. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Europe is trying to persuade the US to mitigate sanctions against Russia

Sun Apr 22, 2018 12:52 pm
Europe is trying to persuade the US to mitigate sanctions against Russia

Europeans are afraid that the restrictions imposed are so severe that they can strike industrial activity on the whole continent and focus their efforts on mitigating sanctions.

According to European experts in the Financial Times, Europe is taking diplomatic efforts to convince the Trump administration to mitigate US sanctions against Russia, reports Censor.NET with reference to Voice of America.

"Paris, which has headed such efforts after sanctions against Russian metallurgical companies have led to an increase in aluminum prices, pushes its allies, in particular Berlin, London and Rome, to act as the single front in Washington.

The French initiative underscores the increasing concern in Europe of the consequences, what sanctions can be for key industries in the EU industry from cars to the aerospace industry.

One French official warned that the sanctions that hurt the Russian aluminum producer Rusal would "have a direct and significant effect on the supply of key products," and that a number of industrial enterprises in Europe are threatening to close.

"They are not the ones that can be re-commissioned during the night, so you need a solution, and it's fast," said the official. "Constructive dialogue with the US is taking place," he added.

Efforts take place on the eve of separate visits to Washington next week by French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. They have to meet with President Donald Trump in the framework of wider diplomatic events designed to reassure the transatlantic allies, whose relationship is already tense with regard to planned US steel and aluminum tariffs.

Unlike the previous US sanctions against Russia, which were introduced in response to the Moscow invasion of Ukraine in 2014, the new punitive measures contained in the Anti-American Opposition Act through sanctions virtually prohibit Europeans from conducting business with companies subject to sanctions and with their owners-oligarchs.

German business leaders also expressed concern for their officials, sources said familiar with this issue, during a meeting held on Thursday at the Berlin offices of the German Committee on Eastern European Economic Relations, an influential lobbyist group.

According to one source, it affects the entire production chain, up to automotive manufacturers and the aerospace industry.

Representative Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the German government, "at all levels," will pay attention to "where the interests of German companies have been damaged and will make it clear where problems are and where we see unwanted consequences."

French officials said US business relations with Europe would be a key issue when President Macron is to visit Washington next week. He will raise the issue of planned US tariffs for steel and aluminum during his talks with President Trump.

Recall, the United States imposed sanctions against Russian oligarchs, close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, on the interference of Moscow in the 2016 presidential election. After the new sanctions of the US in Russia, the dollar for the first time since November 2017 exceeded 60 rubles.

Fitch has named the latest US sanctions the most significant for Russian companies since its inception in 2014.

The EU and the USA, despite mutual consultations, enter each their own sanctions against the Russian Federation independently. Consultations are ongoing in the EU.

British Prime Minister Teresa May announced plans for sanctions against Russian oligarchs who were approaching Putin . Events related to Poisoning in Salisbury and the Imamate in Syria.

There are many illusions: in the West they talked about problems within the EU through Russia

Not all countries of the European Union have a real picture of the Russian Federation and still feel illusions in relation to it.

This was stated by Karel Schwarzenberg, a Czech politician, diplomat, Czech foreign minister in 2007-2009 and 2010-2013, in an interview with "Apostrophe".

According to him, the current Russia is a challenge for the EU.

"Without a doubt, but it will be easier to handle them if we are united and understand what they want," says Schwarzenberg.

He also notes that in Europe, not all have a real picture of Russia.

"There are still many illusions about Russia, one of the properties of human nature is that we do not like to notice things that are unpleasant for us. We just do not like to look at what we do not like. To be strict with Russia is not very pleasant. for economic and for other reasons, so many people try not to look too far in that direction, "he states.

Ukraine News. Sunday 22 April. [Ukrainian sources] Empty The influence of Moscow on Budapest is increasing, and it threatens not only Kyiv, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The influence of Moscow on Budapest is increasing, and it threatens not only Kyiv, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The influence of Moscow on Budapest is increasing, and this could be a threat not only for Kyiv, but also for NATO unity.

This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Vasyl Bodnar in an interview with Radio Liberty.

"Gas, nuclear power plant, military-industrial complex, many other things that you can talk about. I do not want to blame without having these... But politically, I can admit that, unfortunately, the influence of Moscow on Budapest is increasing. not only for Kyiv, but also for Europe, for unity in NATO and for understanding how hybrid Russia works," the diplomat said.

According to him, Hungary uses its membership in NATO to press for Ukraine in the interests of the "third party".

"Hungarians living on the territory of Ukraine are part of Ukrainian society, their security should be a key interest for Hungary, therefore, Ukraine would be more beneficial for Hungary than for Hungary, therefore I suspect that this is not an interest of Hungary, in this case Hungary pushes into the NATO, but the interest of the third party, "Bodnar said, specifying that" third party" means Russia.

As you know, Hungary has promised to block all initiatives of Ukraine to integrate into the EU and NATO through the passed law on education.

Ukraine News. Sunday 22 April. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Russia voiced an alarming forecast for Ukraine through Putin

Russia voiced an alarming forecast for Ukraine through Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to win recognition of his great geopolitical player from the West. At the same time for Ukraine this game can have not the best consequences.

This opinion was expressed in an interview with "Apostrophe" by the Russian historian Andriy Zubov.

"Donbass is not the main goal of the Kremlin now. The Kremlin is playing a different game, which aims to provide, oddly enough, the recognition of the West as a legitimate political player." Take us as we are, "the expert says.

According to Zubov, Ukraine in this situation is a minor factor.

"If Putin - Ed." In Ukraine does something, it will worsen the state of Russia. But if the West does not respond positively to this message, Ukraine can become one of the means of pressure on the Western world, "the historian said.

Ukraine News. Sunday 22 April. [Ukrainian sources] Empty In Russia, they pointed to signs of an uprising struggle surrounded by Putin

In Russia, they pointed to signs of an uprising struggle surrounded by Putin

The situation with blocking access to Telegram in Russia shows that the Federal Security Service (FSB) wants to get full control over the lives of Russians. At the same time, in the environment of President Vladimir Putin, not everyone welcomes this state of affairs and are trying to withstand total control.

Such an opinion was voiced by an Russian historian and oppositional Andrei Zubov in an interview with "Apostrophe".

"The logic is very simple: the FSB wants to fully control the lives of every person in Russia, if you want to read all her thoughts, and they can not disclose Telegram." Telegram is a closed channel for them, so they are angry and require to give them the keys. "Pavlo Durov turned out to be a real Russian Citizen, because he refused to do so, he fights with them. I think this is a form of a new struggle, there is a "square", street protests - and this is important, there is an uproar elite struggle, which is also important in reality, but there is a struggle as civil disobedience in the Internet", - says Zubov.

At the same time, the historian does not exclude that Russia will try to translate into the national Internet, but at the same time says that even in the Putin administration they are struggling with this state of affairs.

"Many in the presidential administration from the very beginning were against the closure of Telegram, but they have little strength, they can not oppose the FSB, but illegally, semi-legally support those forces that resist the FSB offensive, that is, there is a struggle within Russia. and more people are very aware that this is a struggle not just between some people, Putin-Seichin, but the struggle of a Soviet (albeit without ideology) totalitarian regime with a society that wants to become a normal European free society", - notes he.

Zubov also states that in Russia the implementation of both options is possible. However, in case of isolation from the outside world, the country will lose a lot.

"She will become just an appendage to China, because of China, of course, she will receive technology and money, but actually become his colony. Will the FSB itself want to go and become a department of the Chinese state security service?" This is also an open question, "Zubov said.

"All this is very sad, because this black-and-white picture of the world leads to even greater opposition, and most importantly to the lower level of discussion. I do not like much in Russia, but I am a patriot, and I will not agree with many mildly "exaggerated" assessments of Western colleagues, when I see that facts deliberately distort They are for the sake of strengthening the confrontation, "Sobchak shared.

Perhaps the British ambassador is not familiar with the history of his country, its involvement in processes in other countries that have taken place for several centuries, "Zakharova said.

According to her, Britain was one of the most brutal metropolises in relation to its colonies and dependent territories.

"They were also frustrated over Africa, about 13 million people were taken by the British from this continent as slaves, while the number of those killed was 3-4 times larger, that is, the total number of victims reached an estimated 50-52 million people," said the representative. foreign policy department.

According to her, Britain is "the world record holder for genocide".

Ukraine News. Sunday 22 April. [Ukrainian sources] Empty Twitter bans advertising of Kaspersky Lab's services

Sun Apr 22, 2018 2:36 pm
Twitter bans advertising of Kaspersky Lab's services

Company Twitter has declared that it has forbidden advertising of services of the Russian "Kaspersky Lab". The reason for the ban is the Kaspersky Lab business model that violates the social rules of advertising and the US government's declarations on cooperation with the Russian intelligence services.

This was reported by Reuters.

The founder of the company, Eugene Kaspersky, was surprised by this decision and asked Twitter to review the decision.

"We have not violated either formal or unwritten rules, and our business model is just the same business model of templates that is used throughout the cybersecurity industry: we provide products and services to our users and they pay us for them," Kaspersky said.

Earlier, the Lithuanian government suspected the Kaspersky Lab's software as a threat to national security.

The US Senate has supported a ban on Kaspersky Lab's use by the government . Later Trump signed it.

On September 12, it was reported that Kaspersky Lab closed the United States unit that cooperated with the government.

On September 15, Kaspersky Lab's founder was asked to provide testimony in the US Congress. Later, the hearing was postponed indefinitely.

The US Congress suggests that Kaspersky Lab, a Russian company established in Russia, may be controlled by the Kremlin.
