The methods used by the Kremlin to interfere in the 2016 US presidential election, the Russians have previously experienced in Ukraine.
This was stated by Director of National Intelligence of the USA in 2010-2017 General James Klapper, according to censor.NET with reference to Ukrinform.
"Ukraine was, if you can say so, the laboratory. Putin used Ukraine, in particular, to test the effectiveness of various types of weapons in this war: attacks on electric networks," green men", propaganda, all of which are examples of that military tactic, of which we have just spoken. All that Russia did in the US elections, they used that experience, "he said.
General Klapper added that the Kremlin has had a long history of interfering in elections and in one way or another tried to interfere in the electoral process in a number of other countries since at least the 1960s.
"But their intervention has never been so aggressive, large-scale, multidimensional as what they did in the US elections in 2016. And they learned the skills in these matters precisely because of interference in other countries, especially in Europe, Ukraine, and others places", - said Klapper.
US Chief Intelligence Under President Barack Obama explained that the use of social networks by Russians is particularly noteworthy. In his opinion, it is very important to understand the methods of cyberwar, because now they are difficult to resist

Further escalation of Russia's aggressive actions against Ukraine to the level of a full-scale war is no longer unrealistic due to the concentration of a large group of armed forces near the Ukrainian border.
As reported by Censor.NET citing Interfax-Ukraine, this was stated by Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko during the UN General Assembly debates "The situation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine" on Wednesday in New York.
"Military experts unequivocally determine that an armed group on the Ukraine-Russia border is an offensive strike group. This has nothing to do with defense. They are intended for a military strike. Russia is preparing for this. Therefore, further escalation to the level of a full-scale war is no longer an unrealistic prospect", - said Poroshenko.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it possible for Russia to shut off from the world's Internet.
As informs censor.NET with reference to the press service of the Kremlin, he said about it in the Russian media.
"You know, I can not say to our partners what they are in there, I think that this will cause them huge damage, damage, I do not say anything economically, but politically, but not only. And from the point of view seeing the interests of their special services.He sit there, this is their invention.All listen, see and read what you say, and accumulate defensive information, and they will not be.I think that they will think a hundred times before doing it But theoretically everything is possible. Therefore, we of course have to create segments that do not depend on anyone. This is quite obvious. technologically, of course, it can be done"- he said, answering the question whether there is a threat of disconnection from the world of the Internet.
At the same time, Putin noted that the Russian Federation is not going to turn off itself: "We are not going to. But if they think about it, I repeat, the losses for them will be very big, if not to say colossal." In all directions: both through the intelligence services and along the lines economics, and politics, but one must keep in mind that it is theoretically possible and ready to be ready beforehand, in any case."

Russia can capture foreign observers in the Kerch Strait
Ukraine plans to launch a new campaign of its warships through the Kerch Strait under the supervision of foreign observers and military
Boris Babin, permanent representative of the president in Crimea in 2017-2018, said on the TV channel Zik.
He noted that the Russian Federation would be ready to resort to provocations during this passage and even capture foreign observers.
"She can do it, why not? It would be surprising to expect from her that will not catch our ships. So it's very surprising now that he will not capture foreign observers," said Boris Babin.
In addition, he added that nobody would publicly declare a second pass through the channel before the start of the operation
Babin said that during this passage the ship should go under the Ukrainian flag.
Earlier Pavlo Klimkin stated that Ukraine hopes to surprise Russia during the passage through the Kerch Strait. The Minister noted that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will instruct Ukrainian seamen carefully and unpublished if the occupiers manage to take them captive.

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko spoke with the Russian propagandist of the TV channel "Russia 1" on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
As informs censor.NET, the corresponding video was shown in the transmission of "60 minutes".
"24 Ukrainian sailors are illegally in jail, you must apologize to them, release them immediately, because you are an aggressor, you are a violator of international law, and you and your leader are murderers of Ukrainians!" - said Poroshenko, answering the questions of the Russian propagandist when dismissing the editor-in-chief of RIA Novosti-Ukraine Cyril Vyshynsky.
Recall that on November 25, the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Russian Federation's border ships committed aggressive actions against Ukrainian ships that were carrying out a planned transition from the port of Odesa to the port of Mariupol of the Azov Sea. In particular, the Russian border ship "Don" carried a ram of the Ukrainian raiding tug, which damaged the main engine of the ship, lining and liner fencing, and also lost the life raft. The Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine emphasizes that the intention to implement the transition was warned in advance and acted within the framework of international law.
At the same time, the Russian Federal Security Service states that the three Ukrainian warships in the Azov Sea "illegally entered the territorial waters of the Russian Federation and headed to the Kerch Strait."
As a result of illegal actions of Russian security forces, three ships of the Ukrainian Navy were captured and 24 Ukrainian servicemen captured. The Russian-controlled Russian court of the occupied Simferopol has chosen a precautionary measure for 24 sailors in custody until January 25, 2019.
On November 30, seamen were transported to Moscow: 21 Ukrainians were taken to the Moscow Siege "Lefortovo", and three wounded - in "Sailor's Ticks".
On January 15 and 16, the Lefortovo Court of the Russian Federation decided to extend the term of seizure of 24 captured Ukrainian sailors for three months . Consequently, they will remain under arrest at least until the end of April.
