Crisis Oekraïne - Rusland #211 met weinig nieuwe ontwikkelingen

"The OSCE yesterday didn't witness a withdrawal, the mission observed a movement of tanks and other heavy weapons from the DPR and the LPR. This is important because we don't know where these weapons went," Hug said noting that it was not considered a withdrawal."
[...]
"The equipment was moved from the contact line to somewhere, but we do not know where to. We demand that we are told where the weaponry is. Second, we need to know what rules were used to withdraw equipment from the contact line. Third, we would like to know where the weapons are stored. That is, we have three basic requirements, and only after they are fulfilled we may confidently confirm the removal," Hug said.

Oligarchs nouveaux? Why some say Ukraine is still in thrall to an elite

In Ukraine, government supporters, western diplomats and opposition figures tend to reply to inquiries about how the process of “de-oligarchisation” is proceeding in the country with exactly the same response: hearty laughter.

Unlike in Russia, where the term “oligarch” has been a misnomer since Vladimir Putin stripped them of real political clout more than 10 years ago, Ukraine has been an oligarchy in the true sense, with a few extremely wealthy men wielding huge power and influence.

Hundreds of Ukrainian right-wingers were rallying in Kiev on Tuesday to protest against government policies in the wake of a deadly stand-off between radical nationalists and police in the country's west.

The radical Right Sector group was one of the most militant factions in the massive protests in Ukraine's capital that prompted pro-Russia President Viktor Yanukovych to flee the country in February 2014. Since the war broke out in eastern Ukraine between government forces and pro-Russia separatists several months later, the Right Sector has fought on the government side.

However, Right Sector militants keep running into disputes with local Ukrainian authorities and Amnesty International has accused the group of holding civilians as prisoners and torturing them. The activists claim they are trying to clamp down on corruption and nepotism but Ukrainian authorities accuse Right Sector of using violence to reach its goals.

Speaking Tuesday at the national Right Sector congress, group leader Dmytro Yarosh called for a referendum to impeach President Petro Poroshenko and his government.

Yarosh also called for the recognition of volunteer battalions and their right to carry arms as well as introducing martial law, which he said, will help defeat the rebels in the east.

Right Sector supporters gathered on Tuesday evening on Kiev's main square to support Yarosh's motion. Most of them were civilians and appeared to be unarmed, although some young men wore camouflage.

The Right Sector leader garnered about 1 percent of the vote in the May 2014 presidential election. His radical anti-Russian stance prompted the Kremlin to dismiss the uprising in Kiev as a neo-Nazi coup.

The Ukrainian government has attempted to rein in the volunteer battalions who often took frontline positions in eastern Ukraine where soldiers were reluctant to go by encouraging them to join the National Guard and police forces. In reality, hundreds of men in government-controlled eastern Ukraine still carry arms without any authorization.

Two Right Sector members were killed earlier this month after the group attacked police in the western city of Mukacheve with gunfire and grenades. Police responded and then surrounded some gunmen in a wooded area of Mukacheve and have been trying to negotiate their surrender since then.

Yarosh insists that the men were trying to confront policemen who he said were involved in a major smuggling business in the region.

In a sign that he does not control the men in Mukacheve, he said Tuesday he did not know for sure how many men were still out there but said it was likely to be nine. He also dismissed reports that Right Sector fighters are roaming the country with the arms they were given to fight the rebels in the east.

The stand-off in Mukacheve has caused a split in Right Sector with several dozen fighters quitting the battalion to join other battalions in protest.

Law enforcers are searching for nine members of the Right Sector, who are hiding in the vicinity of the town of Mukacheve in Zakarpattia Oblast, Leader of the Right Sector Party Dmytro Yarosh has said.

quote:

No aircraft were used during the operation to apprehend Right Sector fighters hiding in the Mukacheve area of the Zakarpattia region; all reports to the contrary are "fakes," a source close to the operation organizers told Interfax on Sunday.

"The information about airstrikes is untrue," the source said.

The photographs ostensibly confirming the use of aircraft in Zakarpattia were made in Luhansk last summer, he said.

A number of Zakarpattia-based websites reported earlier that missile strikes were carried out by helicopters during an operation to find Right Sector militants in Zakarpattia.

It was reported that on July 11, skirmishes occurred in Mukacheve (Zakarpattia region) between the people linked to parliamentarian Mykhailo Lanio, local police and Right Sector members. According to various reports, up to four people were killed and up to 14 injured during the skirmishes.

According to the Interior Ministry, about ten Right Sector fighters had previously been hiding in the woodlands around Mukacheve; two were hospitalized. On July 16, the Ukrainian Security Service said that six more armed Right Sector members had yet to be found in the Mukacheve area.

A number of media outlets reported that the incident had been caused by the division of spheres of influence to provide protection for the contraband (in particular, cigarettes) flowing into the region.

According to one theory, the Right Sector attempted to oust Lanio's group. According to another, the Right Sector acted with the same intentions, but for parliamentarian Viktor Baloha.

On July 14 the Ukrainian parliament set up a provisional inquiry commission to investigate the incident. The commission is led by Petro Poroshenko Bloc parliamentarian Mykola Palamarchuk. All parliamentary factions and groups delegated their members to the commission.

Right Sector representatives and supporters have been staging a small protest outside the presidential administration building since the evening of July 11.

Right Sector leader and Ukrainian parliamentarian Dmytro Yarosh stated on July 17 that he had not urged his organization members hiding in Mukacheve to surrender because he did not believe the safety assurances, and if the government forces are ordered to eliminate them, the Right Sector reserves the right to defend its fighters.

Russia considers ban on flower imports from Netherlands - Interfax

Russian agricultural watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor may ban flower imports from the Netherlands due to the presence of quarantined organisms in shipments, Interfax news agency reported on Tuesday, citing the head of the service.

Rosselkhoznadzor chief Sergei Dankvert made the statement at a meeting with the Colombian ambassador to Russia in Moscow on Tuesday.

The probability that the ban will be imposed is high, and that might have an economic impact on Colombia since its flowers are shipped to Russia via the Netherlands, Interfax quoted Dankvert as saying.

Rosselkhoznadzor was not immediately available for comment when called by Reuters.

Russia banned most Western food imports from August 2014 in reaction to Western sanctions over Moscow's role in the Ukraine crisis.

Moscow is also considering more import curbs on Western goods, including flowers, confectionery and canned fish products and flowers, the Agriculture Ministry said in June.

On their way home the Tu-160s visited Nicaragua but the flight over Central America brought the two Russian bombers to fly inside the Colombian airspace without the required diplomatic clearance.For this reason they were intercepted by two Colombian Air Force Kfir fighter planes approximately 80 miles from Barranquilla.

Santos said the two planes crossed Colombian airspace on Friday flying from Venezuela to Nicaragua. They re-entered Colombian territory on their return journey but flew out of the zone when intercepted by two of Colombia's Kfir military planes.

Last year the International Court of Justice in The Hague rejected a claim by Nicaragua to Colombian islands in the archipelago, but extended Nicaragua's continental shelf and economic exclusion zone into waters near the islands, rich in fish and believed to have large oil reserves beneath.

Colombia has rejected the court's verdict as inapplicable and continues to exercise control over the waters, raising tensions with Nicaragua.
