Let them eat "Sanctions" ?


]succinct enough : will these measures help, or hurt the FSU families  who struggle?

The extension of European Union sanctions against the Russian Federation passed so casually that it is not even got in the news. Most discussions about this extension at the last EU summit almost was not. And this despite the fact that until recently, on the eve of the previous extension, seemed to prolong the sanctions for the last time. I would say - every time an extension was seen as the last.
But this year there were significant changes in the sanctions stories.
The West has imposed sanctions against the Russian occupation of Crimea and after the outbreak of war in the Donbas. Introduced for a flagrant violation of international law. Introduced to destabilize the situation in Ukraine. But while most of the European Union or the United States as the sanctions would not be touched. Russia does not pose a direct threat to the West, it punished only for what it has become a threat to Ukraine. Ukrainian explanation that Russian aggression directed against the civilized world as a whole and not only against the country in whose territory the Kremlin destroys and kills, perceived at best condescending. And indeed the Russian danger was perceived that way - indulgent. Some even believed in the West that under the pressure of sanctions, Putin "would understand."
So now no doubt that Russia is a direct threat for the West, no one else.
Discuss except that the level of this threat, the adequacy of the measures taken, about how to protect themselves from Putin's virtual and propaganda attacks from interfering in the electoral process, from trying to influence those who are in the information field of Russian TV channels.
ADVERTISING
At the same tools for the response from the West not so much. While the American media talk about the development of "virtual bombs", which is able to paralyze the Russian authorities, "unknown" hackers successfully paralyze half the world. While Europeans are debating how to be an information response to the Russian propaganda, Russia Today begins broadcasting in the new languages. While discussing how to stop Moscow's interference in the electoral process, Russia continues to take on new content and new politicians in the West.
And it is not only corruption, not only in money. The thing itself discredit democratic institutions.
Sanctions are one of the few effective tools civilized world response to the State Kremlin hooliganism. The case has not only Crimea. Not only in the Donbass. The notorious "cumulative effect" sanctions policy is now of interest to all those who want to Putin took, finally, Russia's problems and ceased to destabilize the West.
It may be said that Ukraine, this approach does not promise anything good that now the West is not very keen to Russia left the Crimea captured from torn Donbas (because the longer the sanctions will continue, the greater the likelihood of the collapse of Putin's regime). But, you see, Russia, which will leave the Crimea and the Donbass left alone - it will be a different Russia ...

well indeed , it seems I don't have a lot of viewers here, but there's traction in this. I wanted to reference Denis Kazan's post about a Soviet era Nuclear blast in Luhansk's coal mines that was relatively neutralized,  via mining operations that pumped water out of the mines  during the 25 years of post Soviet coal mining operations, that have since failed, and in effect , "poisoned the well" in Luhansk , hard questions have no good answers forthcoming from the occupying authorities. Denis made a dig at Stakhanov mayor : there is a huge amount of digital blocking and interference underway right now, I see it in my outgoing feed ,  Denis, while I don't know him directly,  I respect what he has to say about things, having trouble linking his post about nuking the coal mines by the soviets in Luhansk just now, but hope to find it. Some hard questions to the occupiers about what is actually going on, something like "You didn't just radioactively poison our wells for the next 100.000 years ?"

and seriously,  it' s an ongoing,  incredibly painful  and stupidly constructed war in Ukraine, every day, hour minute : wife of the brother, sees that her brother in law is fighting against her own close people as a contract soldier



It undermines the car, which was Maxim Shapoval

Murder Maxim Shapoval - the facts and conclusions

Murder Maxim Shapoval - the operation of the Russian terrorist organization, operating with impunity in Kiev. Facts and conclusions:
1. Col. Shapoval was not a public figure. No photos and video on the Internet was not, he did not take part in public events. Identify it was only possible through a targeted search.
Conclusion: this could be done only agents protivnika.kto some who knew him personally. As part of the enemy agents - former or current employees of the special services of Ukraine.
2. Detect Shapoval for the usual curiosity also had no problem to be solved. Colonel conspiracy took action moved to the office machines, to change the number, that is the usual basis of his car it was impossible to calculate.
Conclusion: The observation was carried out for a long time to search for approaches to the implementation of a terrorist attack, it was found his vehicle. So the group operated for a long time.
3. Usually Shapoval travel by car with a driver, making it difficult to plant mines. It was June 27 Shapoval gave the driver another job, and he himself was driving the car. It is highly probable that the mine was installed, when he left the car at one of the state institutions on the day, in the morning. Russian terrorists used this opportunity.
Conclusion: The observation of the group carried out Shapoval, ready for immediate action. with weapon.
4. Undermining was made radio-controlled mine, the explosion did not take place immediately, but after a while, when the car pulled away enough Shapoval.
Obviously, the terrorists were accompanied by car and wanted to make sure that the driver named Max.
5. Radio-controlled magnetic mines against government officials, security officers Not applicable Not applicable had over the years of Ukrainian independence. Only after the war began the attacks against members of the security services and military facilities with weapons of Russian special services. At the time of the defeat of the Russian terrorist organization in Kharkiv in 2014-15 was seized many weapons, including magnetic mines, a large number of agents not only delayed but also condemned. Murder Shapoval is organized along the same lines as the murder of journalist Pavel Sheremet in Kiev, and Colonel counterintelligence SBU Alexander Haraberyusha in Mariupol.
Conclusion: is carried out a campaign of terror against those who contribute to the fight against Russian aggression, it is obvious that it is not one-off event, the threat remains.
6. Maxim Shapoval and Special Forces Defense Intelligence did not appear in any disassembly, circuits, pressing during the war. No appreciable activity, except for professional Shapoval did not conduct. They were a threat only to the Russian security services.
Conclusion: The other version, except for the Russian terrorist attack, do not have the slightest reason.
7. Russia has been active terror war abroad. For example, in Turkey, the Russian agents leading the hunt for the fighters for independence of Ichkeria.
So at least five Russian agents arrested in Turkey, three of them were convicted of murder and terrorism, the two on trial.
8. The main thing: in the Ukrainian capital Kiev, as well as in several other cities, has a well-conspired Russian terrorist organization. The purpose of this organization is a public entity, the Putin regime's opponents, as well as employees of Ukrainian special services that take the most active part in countering the Russian security services in the Donbas.
Conclusion: The Security Service of Ukraine in Kiev, it is necessary to focus and concentrate all our efforts on the elimination of Russian terrorists, to prevent more attacks. And the Department "K", and the Department of Economic Intelligence, should be, in an amicable way, too, apart from its interesting and sweet economic and customs in and do the primary threat to the state. Murder Maxim Shapoval - it is a challenge to the professionalism and competence of the management of the SBU, and if no action is taken, the explosions will be heard again.
If Russia's security services do not get resistance, then a wave of terrorist attacks will increase in the country. Necessary emergency measures.
