The Russian Central Election sent a letter to Google on the grounds that Alexei Bulkny distributes information on rallies against the pension reform scheduled on the day of elections on September 9 on YouTube.

This is reported by Medusa.

According to the publication, a representative of the Russian CEC said that "Mr. Navalny acquires Google advertising tools" to place information on political events on YouTube on September 9. The letter specifies that such measures on the day of voting are illegal.

At the same time, if Google does not respond to warnings, the Russian authorities will regard this as a "direct interference in the internal affairs of the Russian Federation" and an attempt to prevent "holding legitimate democratic elections."

At the same time, the RF Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that they would inform their American colleagues that their information resources "are in millimeters from violations of Russian electoral legislation." Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Andrei Nesterenko said that Moscow records US attempts to intervene in the Russian election.

Despite the fact that politicians who provoke a war must later be on the dock, with Russian President Vladimir Putin this will be difficult to arrange.

Such an opinion was expressed by "Observer " by an American journalist and publicist David Sutter, answering the question of how Putin will end his life, taking into account all allegations against him.
"If the issue is fair, then people who deliberately incite to war, where thousands of people die only in order to preserve their own authority, must definitely be sentenced to an international tribunal, but as far as possible with regard to the Russian regime, I do not know" - said Sutter.
He noted that in this case, the main task of the world community is to tell and show the world what has happened.

"This is important for the Russians themselves, because without fundamental truth they will not be able to create a better future, which, in the end, despite all the problems deserve," - said the journalist.
At the same time, speaking about the flight of the MH-17 Boeing down on Donbass, he stressed that "someone must answer for this".

"The whole war is a crime, but Boeing is one of the worst episodes that touched not only the belligerent side, but also peaceful passengers, and they had no relation to the war, and I am now involved in the European judicial process, where I represent the relatives of the dead. We want Russia to pay compensation, and the guilty were punished," - summed up the expert.

Ukraine has to work out the entire contractual and legal framework with the Russian Federation as a model for reviewing CIS documents.

This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin on the broadcast of "Freedom of Speech" on ICTV, writes Censor.NET.



"What we are doing within the framework of the CIS is the same thing with Russia. It can not be done at once, but it will be done, because we can not stick to the contractual base that was in the previous reality. They will be closest sometimes you will see them later, I can not name some of them, but 100% is important, "the minister said.

He also stressed that the introduction of visa regime with the RF means control over who and how to cross the border.

"Russia does not seek to revenge the pro-Russian forces in Ukraine, Russia wants to first destabilize, then weaken Ukraine, and then make sure that we do not exist," he said.

The minister added that today the pro-Russian reality in Ukraine is no longer possible.

"All that is being done is aimed at a deliberate dismemberment of Ukraine. It's not a revenge, it's not an attempt to change the political balance. It's an attempt to make us - Ukraine," he said, "said Klimkin.
