Russian ex-president Medvedev on Kyiv wanted list
  + stars: | 2022-10-10 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
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.
Vladimir Putin said the Kerch Strait Bridge blast was a "terrorist act" carried out by Ukraine. "This is a terrorist act aimed at destroying the critical civilian infrastructure of the Russian Federation. "That was a terrorist act and sabotage committed by the criminal Kyiv regime," Medvedev added. The Kerch Strait Bridge blast damaged a key supply route between Russia and its troops deployed in southern Ukraine. While Ukraine has not officially claimed responsibility for the Kerch Strait Bridge blast, tweets from officials have hinted at the country's involvement.
New satellite images released Monday appeared to show a large number of vehicles lining up at Russia’s border crossings with neighboring Georgia and Mongolia. On Tuesday, the Russian state news agency Tass quoted Russian border officials as saying that around 3,600 passenger cars were waiting to cross into Georgia. Kazak border authorities said 98,000 Russian citizens have entered Kazakhstan since the mobilization was announced, according to Russia’s state news agency Ria. NBC News reached out to border officials in both Kazakhstan and Finland for further comment. On Monday, Russian media reported cases of some men being turned back at Russian airports and barred from leaving the country.
A top Russian official repeated Russia's nuclear threats, saying it "isn't a bluff." Dmitry Medvedev said NATO countries wouldn't step in if Russia fired a nuke on Ukraine. Russia will also "do anything" to prevent the nuclear weapons emerging in the country's "hostile neighbors" such as Ukraine, Medvedev said. Reminding the world about Russia's nuclear arsenal is nothing new among Putin and his allies. After Putin's latest statement, the White House warned Russia would face "catastrophic consequences" if it used tactical nuclear weapons.
Russia's Medvedev raises spectre of nuclear strike on Ukraine

REUTERS/Maxim ShemetovSept 27 (Reuters) - One of President Vladimir Putin's allies on Tuesday explicitly raised the spectre of a nuclear strike on Ukraine, saying that the U.S.-led military alliance would still stay out of the conflict for fear of a nuclear apocalypse. According to Russia's nuclear doctrine, the president may use nuclear weapons if the state faces an existential threat, including from conventional weapons. Around 90% of the world's nuclear warheads are held by Russia and the United States, who remain by far the world's biggest nuclear powers. Russia has the right to use nuclear weapons if necessary," Medvedev said, adding that it would do so "in predetermined cases" and in strict compliance with state policy. Medvedev, who cast himself as a liberalising president from 2008-2012, has regularly issued hawkish statements about the war in Ukraine.
The Soviet Union became a gerontocracy in its final years, contributing to its collapse. And Reagan was right: Soviet leaders had consistently died on the job. "It doesn't matter whether it's the Soviet Union or the United States — there's always a clash" between older and younger generations, Grunewald said. They were afraid to let it go," said Zubok, the author of "Collapse: The Fall of the Soviet Union." And that did become a central factor in the demise of the Soviet Union."
Russian-backed authorities claim to have carried out the referendums over five days on territory that makes up around 15% of Ukraine. "This farce in the occupied territories cannot even be called an imitation of a referendum," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in video address overnight. Russian officials have said any attack on annexed territory would be an attack on Russia itself. Russia's planned annexation of Ukrainian territory has been rejected globally, with even traditional allies of Moscow such as Serbia and Kazakhstan saying they will not recognise it. For now, Russian officials at the checkpoint were letting some people leave.
Russia on Friday launched referendums in four eastern ukrainian regions aimed at annexing territory it has taken by force. Asked if Russia would have grounds for using nuclear weapons to defend annexed regions of Ukraine, Lavrov said Russian territory, including territory "further enshrined" in Russia's constitution in the future, "is under the full protection of the state." Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Lavrov's comments, and Putin's earlier statement when he said he was not bluffing about using nuclear weapons, were "irresponsible" and "absolutely unacceptable." The likely annexation of Ukrainian territory raises the question of how Russia might respond to the use of Western weapons in those regions. Lavrov sought to portray opposition to Russia's war in Ukraine as limited to Washington and countries under its influence.
MOSCOW, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Friday that Moscow was not threatening anybody with nuclear weapons, and that open confrontation with the United States and NATO was not in Russia's interests, state news agencies reported. "We are not threatening anyone with nuclear weapons," the Interfax agency quoted Ryabkov as saying at a conference on Friday. President Vladimir Putin this week told the West he was "not bluffing" when he said would use nuclear weapons if Russia's territorial integrity was threatened. Under Russia's nuclear doctrine, this could permit the use of nuclear weapons if Moscow feels it faces as "existential threat". Medvedev said it had the option of using strategic - long-range - nuclear weapons.
Putin’s threats increase the risk of escalation to a nuclear conflict drastically. Beatrice Fihn, Nobel laureate and executive director of the International Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons, urged political leaders to renew efforts to get rid of all nuclear weapons by signing and ratifying the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Beatrice Fihn, Nobel laureate and executive director of the International Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons, told CNBC that Putin's "incredibly dangerous and irresponsible" threats drastically increase the risk of escalation to a nuclear conflict. Fihn called for the international community to "unequivocally condemn any and all nuclear threats" and urged political leaders to renew efforts to get rid of all nuclear weapons by signing and ratifying the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. 'No going back'Max Hess, a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute think tank, described Putin's nuclear threats as a "very significant announcement."

If formally admitted to the Russian Federation, the occupied territories, where Ukrainian counteroffensives have gathered pace in recent weeks, will under Moscow's nuclear doctrine be entitled to protection from Russian nuclear weapons. Moscow does not fully control any of the four regions it is expected to try to annex, with only around 60% of Donetsk and 66% of Zaporizhzhia regions held by the Russian army.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the partial mobilization of his country’s military Wednesday, calling up military reservists in a significant escalation of his war in Ukraine after a series of setbacks that led to growing pressure on the Kremlin to act. Until now, Putin had resisted calls from nationalist supporters and pro-military bloggers for a general mobilization since launching his full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. The Kremlin has insisted that what it calls its “special military operation” in Ukraine is going according to plan, but military observers have said Russian forces are depleted and increasingly dispirited. It wasn’t clear if the proposed annexation would cover the entire territory of the provinces or only the areas currently occupied by Russian forces. “We are aware of reports that President Putin may be preparing to enact mobilization measures.
CNN —Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the immediate “partial mobilization” of Russian citizens on Wednesday, a move that threatens to escalate his faltering invasion of Ukraine following a string of defeats that caused recriminations in Moscow. US President Joe Biden condemned the mobilization and the Kremlin’s planned votes, during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday. “Putin claims he had to act because Russia was threatened, but no one threatened Russia – and no one other than Russia sought conflict,” Biden added.

MOSCOW, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Russian-installed officials in the Kherson region of Ukraine said they have decided to hold a referendum on joining Russia and have urged the Kremlin to give its permission as soon as possible, the separatist head of the region said on Tuesday. In a post on the Telegram messaging app, Vladimir Saldo, the Russian-appointed head of Kherson, said he hoped Kherson would become "a part of Russia, a fully-fledged subject of a united country." Saldo said Kherson joining Russia would "secure our region" and be a "triumph of historical justice." read moreShortly after Saldo's announcement about plans for a vote in Kherson, the head of Russia's parliament said he would support the regions joining Russia.
REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov/File PhotoSept 20 (Reuters) - Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Tuesday that it is "essential" for Russian-backed separatists in Ukraine to carry out referendums that would see their regions join Russia. On Monday, separatist leaders in the DPR and LPR agreed to "synchronise" efforts to stage referendums on joining Russia after local Russian-appointed officials stepped up their calls to hold the votes. "Encroachment onto the territory of Russia is a crime which allows you to use all self-defence forces," Medvedev said. Russia's proxies in the Donbas have been talking about joining Russia since they first tried to break away from Kyiv's control in 2014. Large swathes of the territory claimed by the DPR are still under Ukraine's control and Ukraine still holds territory in both Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.

– Cât de liber gândesc și cât de liber pot alege cetățenii din stânga Nistrului? – Convingerea mea rămâne aceeași: atâta timp cât Armata Rusă rămâne stăpână pe o parte a R. Moldova, noi nu putem spera să avem o societate liberă, deschisă. Încă de pe atunci m-am adresat la autoritățile oficiale ale R. Moldova, dar fără vreun rezultat. Cer ca partea stângă a Nistrului să fie tratată pe poziții egale cu partea dreaptă. Aceeași situație e și în satul meu, Lunga, raionul Dubăsari, sat care rămâne ocupat de separatiști.

Foștii oficiali americani și experți propun capitalele Republicii Cehe, Islandei, Sloveniei și, eventual, Azerbaidjanului drept locuri posibile pentru întâlnirea dintre președintele rus Vladimir Putin și omologul său american Joe Biden, scrie ziarul Politico. La Praga, în 2010, a avut loc o întâlnire între Dmitri Medvedev și Barack Obama, care dețineau apoi funcții prezidențiale. Pe 13 aprilie, Putin și Biden au avut o a doua conversație telefonică la inițiativa Washingtonului de la preluarea funcției de șef al statului american. Potrivit Kremlinului, liderii au discutat despre starea relațiilor bilaterale și o serie de probleme internaționale. Casa Albă a fost informată că Biden i-a oferit lui Putin să organizeze o întâlnire personală „într-o țară terță” în următoarele luni.

Președintele rus Vladimir Putin a promulgat legea care îi va permite să candideze pentru încă două mandate prezidențiale. Documentul a fost publicat pe portalul oficial de informații juridice, transmite NovayaGazeta. Cu toate acestea, noua regulă nu se aplică lui Vladimir Putin, deoarece a fost președinte înainte de intrarea în vigoare a amendamentelor la Constituție. De asemenea, legea, adoptată în a treia lectură de Duma de Stat la 24 martie și aprobată de Consiliul Federației la 31 martie, introduce noi cerințe pentru președintele Comisiei Electorale Centrale (CEC) și pentru deputați. De asemenea, legea permite CEC să reducă informațiile despre candidații de pe buletinul de vot dacă sunt incluși în acesta mai mult de zece candidați.

Vladimir Putin a promulgat legea care îi permite să pretindă la funcția de președinte până în anul 2036Președintele Federației Ruse, Vladimir Putin, a promulgat legea care îi permite să pretindă la încă două mandate, transmite RIA NovostiDeputații ruși au adoptat luna trecută o lege care îi oferă lui Vladimir Putin dreptul de a candida pentru două noi mandate prezidențiale, ceea ce deschide calea pentru rămânerea sa la Kremlin până în 2036. Această lege s fost concepută pentru a pune „legislația electorală în acord cu noile norme ale constituției” după referendumul constituțional din vara lui 2020, când rușii au votat că Putin poate să rămână la putere până în 2036. Vladimir Putin are 68 de ani și, teoretic, urma să se retragă la finalul mandatului său actual, în 2024. După un interludiu de patru ani, el a fost reales președinte în 2012. Opozantul Aleksei Navalnîi a calificat acest referendum drept o „minciună uriașă”, iar ONG-ul Golos, specializat în monitorizarea alegerilor, a spus că a fost o încălcare fără precedent a suveranității poporului rus.

Legea nu elimină, însă, limita de două mandate consecutive, fiind dedicată exclusiv persoanelor care au ocupat funcția înainte de semnarea acestei – adică Putin și Medvedev. În 2008, Putin a făcut celebra rocadă cu premierul de atunci, Medvedev, cel din urmă venind în funcția de președinte, iar Putin în cea de premier. În 2012, Putin a redevenit președinte pentru al treilea mandat și a fost reales pentru al patrulea în 2018. În ultimii ani, Vladimir Putin s-a concentrat activ pe remodelarea arhitecturii constituționale a statului rus pentru a își consolida puterea.
