Russian Investigators Seize Assets of Pro-Kiev Ukrainian Billionaire

Russian investigators have seized a Moscow office building belonging to a Ukrainian billionaire whose fierce anti-separatist policies have kept the eastern Ukrainian region he governs loyal to Kiev throughout the country's ongoing civil war.

The Investigative Committee — Russia's version of the FBI — said Tuesday that it had seized a building in central Moscow indirectly owned by Ukraine's fourth-richest citizen, Ihor Kolomoyskyi.

Justifying the decision, the committee's spokesman, Vladimir Markin, said "the profits from renting this building could be used by Kolomoyskyi to finance criminal activity in eastern Ukraine."

Kolomoyskyi, who according to Forbes is worth $2.1 billion, was appointed governor of his native Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine soon after Kiev's street revolution expelled pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych from power.

The oligarch swiftly moved to crush nascent pro-Russian separatist activity in the region, at a time when the neighboring Donetsk and Luhansk regions were becoming mired in an ongoing civil war. Kiev has accused Russia of organizing and supplying pro-Russian fighters in eastern Ukraine.

Markin said investigators had searched the building — on Povarskaya Ulitsa, near Arbat — and found and seized documents that will be used in a legal action against Kolomoyskyi, who is accused by Russia of murder, the use of illegal force and financing punitive raids in eastern Ukraine by battalions loyal to Kiev.

To curtail this financing, the Investigative Committee said it was tracing Kolomoyskyi's assets both inside and outside Russia with the aim of seizing them.

On Monday, a hotel complex belonging to Kolomoyskyi's bank, Privatbank, was seized in Crimea. In July, a Moscow court arrested Kolomoyskyi in absentia.

nu even serieus:

het hele probleem is dat de oekrainse overheid baas wil/wou blijven spelen in de betreffende regio met separatisten/opstandelingen die pleiten/strijden voor meer autonomie.
Rusland/Poetin vind dat ze gelijk hebben en dat hun strijd/pleit rechtvaardig is, zodoende is er hulp vanuit Rusland, want het gaat hier om russen van origine. Die kan je als vaderland niet in de steek laten.

Ik begreep dat het baasje van oekraine zijn poot stijf hield en de opstandelingen wilde onderdrukken, met geweld, dit lokte meer geweld uit, en zo werd het ruzie.

Als Oekraine slim is laat ze de regio in hun waarde en maakt men afspraken over hoe verder.

While the Kremlin has normally reveled in the release of pictures of Putin, many of them showing him hunting or fishing in a state of undress, officials in Moscow are said to be furious about the emergence of Mr Souza's photograph.

Political sources said the Kremlin was convinced that the Obama administration had approved the photograph's release in an attempt to smear Mr Putin. The prime minister's official spokesman was unavailable for comment, but Russian experts claimed that the young man dressed in a tight t-shirt with a camera slung around his neck was not Mr Putin.

Mr Souza, however, is categorical about the authenticity of the photograph. He told National Public Radio in the United States that the incident occurred when Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet general secretary, toured Red Square in the Summer of 1988.

Mr Souza was a member of the delegation in his capacity as Reagan's official photographer.Reagan was led to a group of Russian tourists who had apparently been positioned in Red Square to unleash a series of pointed questions about America's human rights record.

Mr Souza says that a secret service officer told him the tourists were in fact "all KGB families."

"Now what is really interesting is a picture I have in my Reagan book," he said. "Off to the left is one of these tourists with a camera around his shoulder and it has been pointed out to me and verified that that was Putin."

"As soon as you see the picture you go: 'Oh my gosh, it really is him.'"

Experts in Moscow, however, are less convinced.

At the time of Reagan's visit, Mr Putin was serving as a mid-ranking KGB spy in the East German city of Dresden and as such was not important enough to be recalled to Moscow for such a job, unless he was already on holiday.

Perhaps more tellingly, the man in the photograph appears to have a thicker head of hair than Mr Putin ever did.

He also seems too thin. Mr Putin claimes that he put on a lot of weight while he was in Dresden because he drank 3.8 litres (6.5 pints) of beer a week.
