Donetsk, Nov 25 – DAN. Ukrainian Council of national security and defense has come up with an ill-founded denials of the Donbass deportation plans, said DPR parliament committee for criminal and administrative law chairwoman, lawyer Elena Shishkina.

Earlier some media leaked a letter by the security council secretary Alexey Danilov to head of the presidential administration, state security head and prime minister suggesting to open administrative and criminal cases against Donbass residents who are not “pro-Ukrainian” and to relocate them either to Russia or

DPR/Pushilin says Kiev’s policy is destructive, Donetsk aims at integration with Russia

Donetsk, Nov 18 – DAN. The plan of Donbass reintegration developed at the office of Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky and widely publicized, did not take DPR authorities by surprise, said DPR Head Denis Pushilin.

Earlier some media leaked a letter by the security council secretary Alexey Danilov to head of the presidential administration, state security head and prime minister suggesting to open administrative and criminal cases against Donbass residents who are not “pro-Ukrainian” and to relocate them either to Russia or to central and western Ukraine for a “rehabilitation”.

“We have not learnt anything completely new from the document. Kiev authorities are dreaming to ret rid of us. The war unleashed by Kiev, aimed at elimination of Donbass population, destruction of vital infrastructure confirms it. The economic blockade imposed on our civilians does not

DPR, LPR to seek new disengagement date at Minsk talks – Nikonorova

Donetsk, Oct 11 – DAN. Ukrainian unilateral actions in disengagement areas shall be considered provocations to derail negotiations efforts, said DPR Foreign Minister Natalia Nikonorova.

“We are going to raise the issue of coordinating a new date for disengagement at the Minsk talks. The key factor is synchronicity and harmonization of the disengagement. Any actions must begin and end synchronically within the agreed time limits.”

US Arming of Ukraine Is a Scandal on Its Own

Aaron MATÉ

There is growing evidence that President Donald Trump briefly froze U.S. military assistance to Ukraine for political goals. Max Blumenthal explores how the Ukrainegate scandal overlooks the dangers of those weapons sales to Ukraine and the corrupt interests behind it.

Under Trump, U.S. military assistance has prolonged a bloody proxy war with Russia, killing thousands in Ukraine and enabling far-right Ukrainian forces — all while enriching weapons manufacturers and DC lobbyists.

BRICS, Russia/Western Zero-Sum Geopolitics is a Dead-End

October 4, 2019, Strategic Culture Foundation (Russia) https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/10/04/western-zero-sum-geopolitics-is-a-dead-end/

The US and its Western allies are creating more international tensions and instability in a futile bid to carve the globe into “spheres of interest” and “exclusivity”. That’s the way Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov views it, and few objective observers of international relations could disagree with his admonishment.

Russia’s top diplomat says the only way forward is for multilateralism to prevail and for all states to abide by the principles of the United Nations’ Charter, to which they are signatories.

A prime example of the destructive US-led Western policy is seen in the Persian Gulf where tensions have reached an explosive pitch which could trigger an all-out war across the Middle East, possibly embroiling the entire world.

There can be little doubt that the precarious situation in the Gulf is extant because of Washington’s irresponsible provocations towards Iran. The unilateral abrogation of the landmark 2015 nuclear accord by the Trump administration and the militarization of an already dominant US presence in the Gulf over recent months is

BRICS/Some in Hong Kong Feel Frustrated, as Their City is Losing to Mainland China

Andre Vltchek*

Hong Kong is losing to Mainland China. Its poverty rates are high, it suffers from corruption and savage capitalism. It is now the most expensive city on earth. People are frustrated, but paradoxically, they are blaming socialist Beijing for their problems, instead of the legacy of British colonialism. ‘Across the line’, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Xiang and other cities are leaving Hong Kong behind in almost all fields.

When my dear friend and a great concert pianist from Beijing, Yuan Sheng, used to live in New York, recording, giving concert and teaching at prestigious Manhattan School of Music, he told me that he used to cry at night: “In the United States, they smear China. I felt hurt, defenseless”.

He returned to Beijing, gave back his Green Card and began teaching at Beijing Conservatory. He never regretted his decision. “Beijing is much more exciting than New York, these days”, he told me.

It is obvious that Beijing is booming: intellectually, artistically; in fact, in all fields of life.

Ukraine/ Russiagate to Ukrainegate

September 26, 2019, Strategic Culture Foundation (Russia) https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/09/26/from-russiagate-to-ukrainegate/

Finian Cunningham*

With the “Russiagate” hoax proving to be the “most fraudulent political scandal in American history,” as Princeton Professor Stephen Cohen puts it, now we have emerging an alternative – “Ukrainegate”.

President Donald Trump is being accused of abusing his White House office to put pressure on Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky to dig into alleged corrupt dealings by Joe Biden, the top Democratic candidate for the forthcoming presidential elections in 2020.

To make matters worse for Trump, he is also accused of threatening to withhold $250 million of military aid as a way to pressure

Donetsk, Sep 18 – DAN. Ukraine at the Wednesday talks in Minsk sabotaged the coordination of the Steinmeier formula threatening the holding of the “Normandy Four” summit, the Donetsk People’s Republic Foreign Minister, DPR representative to the Minsk talks Natalia Nikonorova said.

“Kiev flatly refused to coordinate the ‘Steinmeier formula’ with the Republic’s representatives threatening the holding of the “Normandy Four” summit and actually sabotaging the clear instructions by the “Normandy Four” leaders’ political advisers,” Nikonorova said. “Ukrainian representatives continue to distort the meaning of the compromise formula mistakenly prioritising the

DPR Foreign Ministry calls Zelensky formula “wonders of ingenuity, cunning”

Donetsk, Sep 17 – DAN. The Ukrainian leadership has to start fulfilling the Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements instead of “reinventing the wheel,” the Donetsk People’s Republic Foreign Minister, DPR envoy to the Minsk talks Natalia Nikonorova told the Donetsk News Agency on Tuesday.

“Over the past few days, we have heard many resounding statements by Ukrainian authorities who show the wonders of ingenuity and cunning in the hope to avoid the implementation of the Minsk Agreements,” Nikonorova said. “However, no matter how much Kiev wants to change things, Ukraine had and still has quite definite and clearly stated Donbass settlement obligations, confirmed by the international community.”

Instead of inventing vague formulae and promising certain radical measures, the Ukrainian leadership

BRICS, China/West will shed no tears for Hong Kong

Published: 2019/8/26 21:33:40, EDITORIAL Global Times (China) http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1162749.shtml 

What on earth happened in Hong Kong over the past weekend? Violence has not only returned to the city, but also escalated.

However, the opposition forces in Hong Kong have been making high-profile accusations against the police for using water cannons. Several Hong Kong police drew their guns and one fired a warning shot on Sunday. Yet all that was portrayed as so-called higher violence from the police. Western media continued to cater to the opposition's claims, describing the warning shot as a sign of escalating street conflicts there, downplaying the fact that rioters' attacks against Hong Kong police are becoming fiercer.

Looking carefully at the videos, one can see a definite clue: A large swath of thugs smashed police cars while several police were inside the vehicles. The police officers who alighted from them were besieged and chased by the rioters. It was during this time that the police raised their guns and one of them fired a warning shot.

When police faces violent mobs, is firing warning shots out of self defense a restraint move or a "violent" one? If the same situation happens in New York or London, how would local police react?

So far, the clashes in Hong Kong have not led to any deaths, because police

BRICS, Rússia/Entrevista do ministro das Relações Exteriores Sergey Lavrov publicada no jornal Argumenty i Fakty, Moscou

18/7/2019, http://oempastelador.blogspot.com/2019/07/min-sergey-lavrov-das-relacoes.html

Na página do Ministério de Relações Exteriores da Rússia (Doc. 1486-17-07-2019)

Pergunta: Pode-se esperar no futuro próximo alguma melhora nas relações com os EUA?

Sergey Lavrov: Dificilmente haverá qualquer melhora em breve, já que se pode dizer qualquer coisa da confusão em que estão nossas relações, menos que seja fácil. Não por nossa culpa. Afinal, relações bilaterais demandam esforços recíprocos. Temos de nos encontrar no meio do caminho.

A Rússia está pronta para andar nessa direção, como já dissemos em diversas ocasiões. Partimos da premissa de que Rússia e EUA têm uma responsabilidade especial. Somos as duas maiores potências nucleares, membros fundadores das Nações Unidas e membros permanentes do Conselho de Segurança da ONU. A cooperação entre nossos dois países é fundamental para garantir estabilidade e previsibilidade nos assuntos internacionais. No entanto, nem tudo depende de nós. Como diz o ditado, só se dança um tango, se os dois quiserem.

A situação é bastante complicada no setor norte-americano. Por um lado, o presidente Donald Trump fala de buscar boas relações com a Rússia, mas essa atitude está longe de ser prevalente em Washington. Vemos isso em movimentos hostis, como várias acusações sem fundamento, que a Rússia enfrenta, imposição de sanções econômicas e financeiras, confisco de propriedades diplomáticas, sequestro de cidadãos russos em terceiros países, oposição aos interesses da política externa da Rússia, e tentativas de

Question: Can an improvement in the relations with the United States be expected in the near future?

Sergey Lavrov: An improvement will hardly materialise any time soon, since it is anything but easy to sort out the mess that our relations are in, which is not our fault. After all, bilateral relations require reciprocal efforts. We have to meet each other half way.

Russia is ready to move in this direction, as we have said on a number of occasions. We proceed from the premise that Russia and the United States bear special responsibility. We are the two largest nuclear powers, the founding members of the United Nations and permanent members of its Security Council. Cooperation between our two countries is key to ensuring stability and predictability in international affairs. However, not everything depends on us. It takes two to tango, as the saying goes.

The situation is quite complicated on the American side. On the one hand, President Donald Trump talks about seeking to be on good terms with Russia, but this attitude is far from prevalent in Washington. We see this in unfriendly steps, such as various groundless accusations Russia faces, imposing financial and economic sanctions, seizing diplomatic property, kidnapping Russian nationals in third countries, opposing Russia’s foreign policy interests, as well as attempts to

Donetsk, Jul 9 – DAN. Ukrainian authorise are trying to dodge their commitments under the Minsk Agreements as they are, Donetsk People’s Republic Foreign Minister, the Republic’s representative to the Contact Group talks Natalia Nikonorova said on Tuesday.

On Monday, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in a post on Facebook suggested to Russian President Vladimir Putin a meeting in Minsk with the USA, Great Britain, Germany and France as mediators. “Let’s discuss whose Crimea is and who is not in Donbass,” he wrote. Zelensky suggested “the following company” for the conversation: US president Donald Trump, British prime minister Theresa May, German chancellor Angela Merkel, French president Emmanuel Macron.

“Instead of beginning an open, direct and effective dialogue with us, the new Ukrainian leadership prefers to fill the media space with unsubstantiated statements which are nearly identical with former Ukrainian authorities’ rhetoric,” Nikonorova said. “A shining example is
