Was it beneficial for Ukraine to commit such senseless terrorist acts, precisely on the day of the G-20 meeting and Putin's negotiations with Trump? – Definitely not. Was it beneficial for Russia and the so-called "LNR" to present Ukraine in Hamburg as a terrorist – yes, definitely...

It is one thing, when the Russian assets are officially nationalized in Ukraine, i.e. become the governmental property, by a court decision to compensate for the actual damage. It is quite another matter, when they are just forced to be sold to some financial industrial groups which have the opportunity to act with the help of institutions at greatly reduced prices...

Much will depend on the future scenario for the Russian economy – will its performance worsen or not. Now it has stabilized. If the fall resumes, then the Kremlin, willy-nilly, will consider leaving the "Donbass Russian Spring" project...

Each and every metallurgical group in the Russian Federation has its own capacities for the production of coke and even exports it.

So it turns out that the expropriation of the largest industrial enterprises of the Donbass will lead to their ultimate degradation. And it will in any case be the only real result of the current PR action.

Ukrainian oligarchs suffer from the war in the Donbass in their own way – constantly living in safe Geneva, London and Vienna. They do not know what is to hide under fire in cellars for months, to leave your own home forever and go, in fact, to nowhere, to lose your near and dear ones from the explosion of a mine or a stray bullet. However, oligarchs suffer financial losses from this officially unrecognized war - and money for them is always in the first place.

The major case investigator of the Prosecutor General's Office Yuriy Kryvobok has specified the greatest amount by prosecutors - $ 2.612 million, while the Deputy Head of the Prosecutor General's Office Anatolii Matios GPU has $ 1.715 million. Y.Lutsenko himself has "modest" $ 804 thousand

I asked my husband: "We grew up with songs of Jura Shatunov and perhaps will die with them as well. What do you think?" He said: "It is possible, because the Russian media vigorously promote the message: it is considered that the period from 1991 to 2000 didn’t exist, it was a mistake. And in 2000 "a father of all Russia", "the savior of the world" came to power, and from that moment a new countdown began"

Coal “schemes” of the Family are still working today, two years later after Maidan. Moreover, – recently Yanukovych’s coal companies, in fact, became monopolists on the market of coal beneficiation! All this leads to the conclusion that the schemes of the Family have passed under the control of the Family-II. There is no other explanation of what is happening.

Perhaps, Tornado case was made closed not even because the investigation has no evidence, but the process may release facts that the General Prosecutor's Office wants to have, but doesn’t want to disclose? Maybe, Tornado case is a leash around the neck of Avakov and some other politicians?

Either then they lied, or residents’ interest in the creation of their "states" fell by three times in the "DPR" and twelve times in the "LPR". By the way, a nihilistic attitude of the residents of the occupied territories to "democracy demonstrations" is clearly seen in the Internet resources of the puppet "republic" and social networks...

The gas issue will determine the future of Ukrainian-Russian relations soon. Termination date of 10-year "contract of the century" signed in January 2009 between Naftogaz of Ukraine and Gazprom is approaching day by day. The desire to prolong the favourable terms will force Russian President Vladimir Putin to seek political leverage on official Kiev. They may use either a carrot or a stick. But they are likely to use both...

But then you have to understand what’s the price: based on the above mentioned examples, bloodshed in the country will last at least 30 years. Meanwhile, when you compare Donbass conflict with the ones above, the degree of conflict is way lower in our case.It is the very reason to hope that we can end everything peacefully. And much faster.

How does Akhmetov’s plant cooperate with the DPR? Why did Plotnitsky yell at the "Minister"? Imitation of primaries ... This and other issues in Sergey Garmash’s Occupation author’s radio programme
