KYIV, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has been on a list of wanted persons compiled by Ukrainian security officials for more than half a year, Ukraine's SBU security service said on Monday. The statement said Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia's Security, was wanted under a section of the criminal code dealing with attempts to undermine Ukraine's territorial integrity and the inviolability of its borders. Most of the Russian Security Council's members are on the list. It was not immediately clear why the Ukrainian authorities have not released the information sooner or why they made it public now. "The Security Service of Ukraine confirms that Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of Russia's Security Council and former president of the aggressor state, is declared a wanted person," the SBU said in a statement.

Putin knew a war would be unpopular and had kept all of his previous military interventions limited before the current invasion of Ukraine. Right now, the Russian military is in no condition to fight NATO, and it is unclear to what extent the partial mobilization will solve Russia’s military problems. Moreover, the finger on the nuclear button is still that of Vladimir Putin rather than Patrushev or other hardliners. At the same time, the Ukrainians, the most likely victims of any tactical Russian nuclear strike, remain committed to fighting despite the risk. The fight is not only about Ukraine alone: For Putin and the hardliners alike, it’s about the West.

It was “the most prudent, or most low-key statement in years” issued by Xi on their strategic relationship, Shi said. Under Xi, China has forged ever closer ties with Russia. Six days later, in a desperate escalation of the devastating war, Putin announced a “partial mobilization” of Russian citizens in a televised speech, and even raised the specter of using nuclear weapons. Both leaders share a deep suspicion and hostility toward the United States, which they believe is bent on holding China and Russia down. The main factor driving the strategic alignment between Russia and China is the perception of threats from the United States, said Hart with CSIS.

Since the invasion of Ukraine, Putin has tilted more strongly towards China as the war and severe Western sanctions torpedoed Russia's relationship with the United States and its European allies. "The development of a strategic partnership with China is an unconditional priority of Russian foreign policy," the security council said in a statement. The deepening partnership between the rising superpower of China and the natural resources titan of Russia has raised alarm in some Western capitals. China has refrained from condemning Russia's military operation against Ukraine or calling it an "invasion".

Russia's security elites are silovarchs, a term combining "oligarch" and "siloviki" ("people of force.") Analyst Hugo Crosthwaite said silovarchs are closer to President Vladimir Putin than oligarchs. According to Treisman, oligarchs do not hold a great deal of political influence, while silovarchs are more powerful. Table of Silovarchs Viktor Ivanov – former chair of the board for Almaz-Antei and Aeroflot – had a career in Soviet KGB and Russian FSB. Rashid Nurgaliev– former interior minister and deputy secretary of the Security Council – is Army General and worked for the FSB.

Declarația aparține președintelui Federației Ruse, Vladimir Putin, care a comentat, în cadrul unui interviu, acuzațiile privind implicarea sa în otrăvirea opozantului rus, Alexei Navalny, scrie Novaya Gazeta. Potrivit autorilor unei anchete comune a The Insider, Bellingcat, CNN, Der Spiegel și a asociaților lui Navalny, un grup de ofițeri FSB l-au urmărit pe Navalny și ar putea fi implicat în otrăvirea opozantului rus. Potrivit Novaya Gazeta, nu a fost deschis vreun dosar penal cu privire la otrăvirea lui Navalny și atentatul la viața sa în Rusia. La 2 februarie, Curtea Districtuală Simonovsky din Moscova a schimbat pedeapsa cu suspendare în cazul opozantului Alexei Navalny cu una reală în dosarul „Yves Rocher”. Fraților li s-a imputat că ar fi tras pe sfoară compania de cosmetice Yves Rocher și o întreprindere de procesare ca intermediar în furnizarea serviciilor de logistică.

Serviciile de securitate ruse (FSB) au denunțat luni ca o „falsificare” capcana telefonică pe care oponentul Alexeï Navalnîi pretinde că a pus-o pentru ca un agent rus să-l facă să admită că a participat la otrăvirea sa în această vară în Siberia, potrivit AFP. Fără a oferi dovada identității interlocutorului său, Alexeï Navalnîi afirmă că „orice expertiză vocală va arăta că este într-adevăr” Koudriavţev. Opozantul a spus că a obținut numărul de telefon al agentului de pe site-ul britanic de investigații Bellingcat, care pe 14 decembrie a publicat o anchetă cu mai multe mijloace media care pretindeau identificarea a opt agenți FSB, inclusiv Koudriavţev. Navalnîi asigură că i-a sunat pe toți acești oameni, dar că „toți au închis rapid”, până la conversația cu Koudriavţev. Întrebat joi despre această primă investigație, Vladimir Putin a sugerat că Navalnîi era urmărit, dar a negat orice otrăvire, crezând că acesta ar fi fost deja mort dacă agenții ar fi vrut să-l omoare.
