Moscow summons Belgian envoy over seizure of state assets, threatens retaliation




18 June, 2015


Moscow has summoned the Belgian ambassador to lodge a protest over the freeze of its state assets. It said that Moscow may consider retaliatory measures against Belgium if the assets are seized, including against Belgium diplomatic property in Russia.

This comes after Belgian bailiffs notified Belgian, Russian and other international companies of the seizure of assets belonging to Russia at the behest of the Isle of Man-based Yukos Universal Limited, a subsidiary of the Russian energy giant, which was dismantled in 2007. They have given the target companies a fortnight to comply.
“The frozen Russian assets include accounts of the Russian Embassy and Russia’s Permanent Mission to the UN. Even without any further analysis, this means a blatant violation of international law. We don’t yet know what the official position of our Belgian partners is, but at first sight, this seems to be an excessive act,” Russia's Justice Minister Aleksandr Konovalov said.


Russia will appeal the court’s arrest of Russian property, Russian presidential aide Andrey Belousov said. According to the official, “the situation with the arrest of the property is politicized, [and] Moscow hopes to avoid a new escalation in relations.”

On Thursday, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said it views Belgium’s actions as “an unfriendly act” and “a blatant violation” of the norms of international law, adding that it could consider retaliatory measures against Belgium if the assets are seized.


“The Russian side will have to consider the adoption of adequate retaliatory measures against the property of Belgium located in the Russian Federation, including the property of the Embassy of Belgium in Moscow, as well as its legal entities,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Belgian Ambassador to Russia Alex Van Meuwen said he would immediately inform Brussels about Russia’s statement.
A letter accompanying the bailiffs notice , reportedly drafted by the law firm Marc Sacré, Stefan Sacré & Piet De Smet, accused Moscow of a “systematic failure to voluntarily follow” international legal judgments.

The addressees included not just local offices of Russian companies, but international banks, a local branch of the Russian Orthodox Church, and even Eurocontrol, the European air traffic agency headquartered in Brussels. Only diplomatic assets, such as embassies, were exempt.
The situation was not unexpected, and Russia is considering a number of measures to deal with possible asset seizures both in Belgium and in other countries, said Andrey Belousov.

Yukos Universal Limited was awarded $1.8 billion in damages by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague in July 2014, as part of a total settlement for approximately $50 billion, owed to its former shareholders and management. The court concluded that the corporation, once headed by Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who spent more than a decade in prison for embezzlement and tax evasion from 2003 to 2013, “was the object of a series of politically motivated attacks.”







Russia has not accepted the ruling, saying it disregards widespread tax fraud committed by Yukos, and constitutes a form of indirect retribution for Russia’s standoff with the West over Ukraine. Earlier this month, the Russian ministry of justice said it would take “preventative measures” to avoid property confiscation, and challenge each decision in national courts.

A separate ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) last summer awarded Yukos shareholders €1.9 billion in compensation. Russia’s Dozhd channel quoted ECHR representatives as saying that the reported seizures are not related to its legal decision as several media reports have previously suggested.
Neither Belgium, nor Russia have yet released official statements about potential asset seizures.
Russia spent much of the 1990s embroiled in legal squabbles with several foreign creditors, who attempted to seize its property abroad, but each time the dispute was settled without asset confiscation.


France freezes Russian state assets, Moscow plans to appeal



French law enforcement has frozen the accounts of Russian companies operated by the French subsidiary of VTB, Russia’s second-largest bank, officials told RBC TV channel. Diplomatic accounts were briefly frozen as well, but have since been unlocked.

“As of this morning [diplomatic accounts] were unfrozen… The sums are small, some dozens of thousands of euros, [but] Russian companies' accounts are still frozen,” VTB CEO Andrey Kostin said. “We are working on the problem with our lawyers now.”

The information was also confirmed by the president of VTB 24, Mikhail Zadornov, who said that the case is connected to Yukos Universal Limited, a subsidiary of the Russian energy giant, which existed from 1993 to 2007.


The news comes amid developments from Belgium, where Russian state assets are facing seizure to secure payment of a contested Russian debt to the former owners of Yukos. The company went bankrupt after the Russian government demanded that it paid due taxes that it had been evading for years.


Anti-Russian Sanctions Can Cost EU Up to $114 Billion

NATO is implementing “the biggest reinforcement” of defense since Cold War times, said NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, adding that the alliance is facing challenges from “the behavior of a more assertive” Russia



In a significant move to deter possible Russian aggression in Europe, the Pentagon is poised to store battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and other heavy weapons for as many as 5,000 American troops in several Baltic and Eastern European countries, American and allied officials say.

The proposal, if approved, would represent the first time since the end of the Cold War that the United States has stationed heavy military equipment in the newer NATO member nations in Eastern Europe that had once been part of the Soviet sphere of influence. Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the war in eastern Ukraine have caused alarm and prompted new military planning in NATO capitals.



Members of Poland's influential political establishment have called for the establishment of a greater military presence at the country's border with Belarus, which already faces extensive NATO activity at its borders



Speaking to Sputnik, German journalist and public relations consultant Christoph Horstel noted that despite attempts by Washington and Berlin to pressure German business not to interact with Russia, they have done so anyway. In his view, this was most recently demonstrated by companies' attendance of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum.




Despite the Western efforts to discourage investors from participating in the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, the affair is in full swing. Jim Rogers, legendary investor and chairman of Beeland Interests, is in attendance, and he told Radio Sputnik that the Russian economy may be the most promising market for fellow investors.


The neo-Nazi coup may begin in Ukraine tonight

«Журналистская правда»: этой ночью Украину ждет неонацистский путч



Curated by the ex-head of SBU, Nalivaychenko, the neo-Nazis — battalions "Tornado", "Aidar", "Donbass", "Kiev" and "Azov" regiment hastily moved towards Kiev in connection with the resignation of their patron.

Today's resignation of Nalyvaychenko from the post of the head of SBU caught him off guard, because "the chief CIA spy in Ukraine did not believe that Poroshenko will go to the end". Nalivaychenko, did not like this change of scenery, so his people on the ground — "Tornado" (apparently that part that is not blocked in the Lugansk region), battalions "Aidar", "Donbass", "Kiev" and "Azov" regiment, hastily began moving towards Kiev. This was reported by the online edition "Journalistic Truth" with reference to a source in Kiev.

According to the publication, Nalivaychenko can rely on the SBU structures across the country, which is filled with last year's appointees from the banned in Russia extremist organization "Right Sector", the neo-Nazis from Svoboda and other radical Ukrainian organizations.

"All these people have absolutely nothing to lose — because yesterday and today they were shown what awaits them. After the U.S. Congress expressed dissatisfaction with the fact of the existence in Ukraine of a large number of armed Nazis ("the abominable Azov regiment"), Poroshenko and Avakov began to make PR moves, in particular - the arrest of the leadership of "Tornado" battalion (the heroes turned out to be sadists, what a discovery), the publication of details of the murder of Oles Buzina — it also turned out that he was killed by the Nazis, and now - the resignation of the chief curator of all the Nazis in Ukraine, Nalivaychenko," - says the author of "Journalistic truth".

According to the newspaper, a neo-Nazi coup may begin in Ukraine tonight.



The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) report on the ceasefire in Donbass noted that Russian monitors prevented two attacks at the Donetsk airport, which the Ukrainian side confirmed.



More than 500 civilians were killed in Donbass since February 15, 2015, when, in accordance with the "Complex of measures on implementation of the Minsk agreements" a ceasefire was imposed in the region.

This was reported by the People's Militia of LPR.

Earlier the Office of the UN High Commissioner for human rights cited data from May 3rd of this year, that during the war in the Ukraine 10 243 people were killed, another 15 615 were injured.

According to the representative of the People's militia, during this same time, the Ukrainian security forces violated the ceasefire regime more than 9 thousand times. Including 1,200 strikes of settlements

Ukraine SITREP June 18th, 2015 by Scott






 Post Bilderberg 2015 Sergey Guriev demands from the Western governments to take over Russia, or else …

A growing numbers of neo-conservative, free market doctrine worshiping, liberal ex-Russian citizens are settling into their new role as “prophets of doom in exile.”
More on the Russian neo-conservative liberals here

Considering that they have managed to steal humongous amounts of money from the Russian people, they, (the prophets, not the Russian people), will be fabulously comfortable. They don’t have to work as cab drivers, but they are eager to prostitute with the Western media and Western think tanks, eager to one day to achieve their lofty political goal: to come back to Russia and steal more money.

Sergey Guriev is just one of many.

Sergei Guriev – former Dean of the New Economic School in Moscow and member of the Sberbank Supervisory Board. Sberbank is one of the Russia’s top three banks.

Sergey Guriev, a neo-con liberal pro-Washington economist, fled Russia because of his alleged involvement in murders around Yukos. He has not been in Russia for about three years, but for some reasons he is believed to posses some kind of special knowledge of Russia’s present and future.

After ritual immersion in Bilderberg 2915 Mikveh, Sergey Guriev gave birth to verbal vomit on his opinion of Russia’s future for the Washington Post. Let’s consider this to be the Bilderberg club’s message given to the Russian people.

Guriev claims that Russia doesn’t have a future, because it doesn’t have long term policy and economic plans for the development of industries beyond the next three years. Which is very bizarre, considering that in every one of his previous verbal vomits he claims that even a one year economic plan would be a return to a Soviet regime. After all, the chaotic free market with no central planning was the dogma that neo-cons like Guriev were insisting for the past 25 years. It has cost the Russian economy two trillion dollars. That’s what Giruev was teaching students in his HSE Higher School of Economic.

It’s hard to take these dissipated people seriously and because they are running from justice, they’re saying what they are told to say. He calls on the West not to “loose Russia,” and to have a “Marshall Plan-style program” to “rebuild” Russia’s economy that “only” grows 2% a year. WTF? He wants the West take over the rule in Russia, or in neo-con doublespeak ” supporting governance.” He wants the West to take over education “reforms” to create young orks like the neo-fascists in Ukraine.

And for the West to conduct “health-care reforms” – this is truly scary. You are aware of the unspeakable hate that the West, the US and Europe are showing to Russia right now. Can you imagine, the same western nations coming to Russia with chemicals and injections, and vaccinations to “treat” Russian people? Will it be like during the fascist Germany and fascist Finland occupation of Russia in 1941-1944? Death camps named after Doctor Mendele?

And “investing in Russia’s infrastructure.” Let’s take over the Russia’s TV translations, press, internet, communication lines, satellites, roads, so no one in the World would ever know that horrors are being conducted by the West in Russia.

“The West should be clear about what it will take for Russia to reengage with the European Union, NATO, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and other international bodies,” Guriev says.

No. Russia makes it clear that the country won’t reengage with all those anti-Russia and anti-Eurasia pro-Western outdated and antiquated organizations. Russia and the rest of the non-Western world are creating new organizations, beneficial for their founders, and not for the indebted, broke, and dissipated West.

Banned by the government, Carnegie Moscow Center likes to point out that Liberals in Russia are “selflessly bearing the burden of running” Russian banks, universities, and mineral extraction companies. The fact that they become billionaires in the process and transfer these fortunes to the West of the Russia’s borders, is being omitted from the Western narration.

Sergei Guriev is the only Russian attending the Bilderberg summit, June 9th-14th in Austria.

He has the usual Soros and Khodorkovsky connections. It’s safe to presume he will advice the Atlanticist elite on how to proceed against Russia.
On this (Soros-sponsored) website

“With the funds amounting to only about 6% of GDP, Russia can maintain a 3.7% deficit for less than two years before it either has to withdraw from Ukraine to gain relief from Western sanctions, or undertake a major – and, for Putin, politically dangerous – fiscal adjustment.”

And this revealing piece in the Washington Post, splattered with wishful sentences like

“The Kremlin has no credible financial plan beyond 2016 except for hoping for oil prices to recover.”

“regime survival” “widespread panic and the collapse of the regime. ”

“At some point, this regime will have to go”

“the best scenario one can hope for is some form of transitional government that would provide certain guarantees to the outgoing elites and oversee new elections.”

“The West should get prepared now for sudden and turbulent change in Russia.”
I’m guessing it is close to what he has presented at the Bilderberg meeting, and might give some indicators on what the western elites plan for Russia in the next future (coup d’etat?).

Bilderberg Meetings 63rd Bilderberg conference took place from 11 – 14 June 2015 in Telfs-Buchen, Austria.
A total of around 140 participants from 22 countries have confirmed their attendance. As ever, a diverse group of political leaders and experts from industry, finance, academia and the media have been invited. The list of participants is available on www.bilderbergmeetings.org

There is no application process. The key question is whether participants can bring an interesting perspective to the discussions. Participants are invited because they can offer a different point of view.

Meanwhile, Russia’s Minister of Economical Development Alexei Ulyukayev which was not invited to Brilderberg, gives an interview to Stephen Sackur, BBC HARDTalk [Source]

The interview in which Ulyukayev compares Russian people to flies that being poisoned by the West and that those flies will die slow but eventually. Russia’s Minister of Finance also said the Russia needs 50 years of development to catch up with the economies of Japan and the US.

This interview made quite an impact on everyone in Russia. An eye opener, so to speak.

FYI: Ulyukayev is a neo-con liberal, which means a neoconservative follower of Free Market dogmas. Free Market means unrestrained by any state laws or government control, labor protection, environments regulation flow of capital. “Liberal” has nothing to do with personal people liberties. It’s quite opposite. It’s liberty of international capital rule over sovereign nations and people.
For Russia it means that capital and raw mineral resources are being taken out of the country and never reinvested inside the country. Neo-con liberals have been in power in Russia for the past 25 years. I made an introduction to the neo-cons run private New Economic School NSE and the state financed the Higher School of Economics HSE in Moscow and the Washington control Central bank of Russia here

All perfectly timed just as Bilderberg ended and on the first day of 2015 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum opens, the West goes full assault on Russia

Belgium Moves to Seize Russian Assets in Yukos Case [Source]

A group of former Yukos shareholders has called in bailiffs to investigate 47 organizations based in Belgium, with a view to seizing any Russian state assets they might own

Russia’s assets arrested in Belgium (and France)

Российские активы в Бельгии арестованы по иску ЮКОСа

Here some background for this story

Russia rules out possibility of compensation payment to ex-Yukos shareholders — minister 

June 18, 14:12 UTC+3 In 2014, The Hague Arbitral Tribunal ruled that Russia should pay almost $50 billion to the companies affiliated with the former Yukos shareholders

Colonel Cassad believes, just like myself, that this extortion scheme is just a test to see Russia’s reaction.

If Russian government does nothing and let these assets to be taken, or if it pays, the flood of frivolous lawsuits will follow, including those of Ukraine’s.

Again, as I wrote prior, it’s all in the Russia’s Constitution as a colony of the “international community.” It’s all in the articles of the Russia’s Constitution that international laws take priority over the domestic laws.

It’s defines comprehension that the Russia’s lawmakers are sitting on their hands. Even if 50% of them are traitors and on the Washington’s payroll, what the other 50% is doing?

France arrests Russia’s assets Франция наложила арест на российские активы [Source][Source]

So far we know about seized properties of:

Russian Orthodox Church, Russia Today RT.com, TASS and VTB Bank
Russia Today (RT.COM) announced that their bank accounts in Belgium and France are frozen and that they took measures to prevent the similar situation in other European countries and in the US.

Vise-President of Rosneft Mikhail Leontyev says that this decision of French and Belgium courts are not based on any law and it’s a fact of pure and blatant theft. “This decision is a threat to everyone.”

“The situation in Belgium and France is not a seizure of assets, which implies a legal procedure. This is a robbery conducted outside of the framework of the laws in those countries,” said Mikhail Leontyev.

According to Leontiev, the use of legal tools to assess the situation in this case is meaningless. He compared abusive behavior of small European nations like Belgium and France toward Russia to a “self-gratification play with their reproductive organs.”

Russian Minister of Economic Development Alexei Ulyukayev announced that more arrests of Russian properties in Europe and the US are imminent and calls for assessment of risks.

There are two major ground shifting consequences to the Russia’s assets freeze in Europe.

1. The EU is aiming to take over the Gazprom assets and property located in Europe. I see this happening before winter sets in. In this case Russia will have to either keep pumping gas via stolen by EU infrastructure, or to stop pumping gas entirely. That most likely will result in multibillion Euros lawsuits from each individual European country against Russia filed in European courts.

It looks like President Putin considers this as a possibility. On Tuesday June 18th he said that Russia’s energy production and transportation might be the target for foreign countries. “Our “partners” do everything to make our life difficult,” Putin says. http://www.kommersant.ru/doc/2749285

2. Europe expropriating taking over private, Russia’s Church owned, NGOs, and state properties of Russia, including diplomatic properties, is a warning to the Chinese government and investors. The easiness with which the EU arbitration and human rights courts expropriate the foreign nationals owned properties is dizzying. This demonstrates that the property ownership protection in the EU and across the Commonwealth is annulled and void. China, which is buying the European and North American properties and assets, might be up to a rude awakening very soon.

Russian government and businesses have to stop pretending that it’s business as usual and take more decisive steps like, freezing all repayments of foreign debt until the situation is resolve; freezing all the deliveries of gas to Europe until there are guarantees of Russia’s assets safety; suspension of the diplomatic missions to the EU; denouncing the membership in Belgium based SWIFT and other steps.

We have to keep in mind that Russia’s state assets belong to the people of Russia. The EU’s attempts to extract 1.8 billion Euros and 50 billion Euros from the people of Russia means to hurt the people. The EU sanctions have already resulted in sharp increase in mortality rate in Russia. The EU sanctions kill Russian people, just as effectively as the EU junta kills Russian Ukrainians by military means and the blockade of food, water and medicine. Just as Ukraine is blocking and redirecting the natural river flow into Crimea and causing the ecological catastrophe in Crimea itself and in the Black sea around the peninsula.

The mood on the Russian street is anger toward Europe and the US, and unyielding understanding of mortal danger coming from the West. European countries and the USA express desire to own territories of Russia without Russians. Essentially, facing imminent death, Russians intent to win, or to take Europe and the US with them.

The bottom line: if Russia pays this extra-judicial European court actions, it will open the floodgate for all kinds of frivolous lawsuit demanding trillions of dollars from the Russian taxpayers.

To say that the European courts abuse the Russian taxpayers is an understatement.

The Yukos extortion is just a testing ground. I see the Ukraine’s lawsuits for Crimea and Donbass are coming down the European court system pipes. Russia has to put a stoppage for this now, before it’s too late.

Russia

1. Russians have become the most discriminated nation in Europe 
On June 16, 2015 Russian politicians and experts that were invited by the Alliance for Peace and Freedom (APF)

were banned from entering the Euro-parliament. Euro-parliament is open for tourists and visitors from any countries, but Russia.

We have to notice the political stance that the European Union has taken towards Russia and the Russian people:

1. The EU has turned Russian people into the most discriminated nation in Europe;

2. The EU placed sanctions against Russia and Russian people;

3. The EU published a “black list” of Russian politicians and celebrities;

4. The European Union declared the Russia’s “black list” of unwanted persons “illegal,” because according to the EU Russia is accused in “mistreating gay people,” “starting war in Donbass,” and “shooting down MH17.”

5. The EU completely blocked communication between the citizens of Russia and the EU apparatchiksы;

6. The EU member Belgium arrested all the assets of the Russian federation and Russian Orthodox Church, NGOs and privately hold companies registered in Belgium due to the fake court ruling against Russia in Yukos extortion scheme;

7. Ukraine is attacking Russia’s embassies with the backup of the European Union;
8. The EU media is blaming Russian for all the world ills including Daesh/ISIS.

9. The EU arrests and prosecute anti-war activists and people who try to express support for Russia;

10. The West is clearly set to make up an image of Russia as a “death camp” like it does with the North Korea, Syria and Iran, or until recently. Cuba.

На химическом заводе в Донецке, где был взрыв, находится хранилище ядерных отходов. Фон радиации никто не измеряет – эксперт

The radiation background level could have grown in Donetsk due to the powerful explosion in the State Factory of Chemical Products, because a nuclear waste depository is situated there, claimed executive director of the state enterprise East Ukrainian Ecological University Dmitriy Averin according to OstrovV website.
“It is not reliably known what exactly happened there (at the chemical works in Donetsk. – ed.). This is the third explosion occurring in its territory. It is there that one of the nuclear waste depositories of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is situated”, – the expert remarked, having added that there is a chance of destruction of this depository.
Averin also said that no one is monitoring the environment in the “occupied territories”, as he put it, that is why people might know nothing about the contamination.
Fortunately, he is mistaken, but he could have unintentionally revealed the purpose of Ukrainian Army repeated attempts to turn the area of the chemical plant in Donetsk into a replica of the Moon surface.

Basically, the Chechens tell the Ukrainians not to wear clothes with too short sleeves and turn-ups. They claim “the refugee centre is an Islamic state, as Muslims live here”. An Ukrainian woman starts complaining about it to a Polish guard, but he ignores her, telling her the Chechens had been behaving like that before.

What’s interesting, this Chechen “refugee” is harassing other Russian speaking people in this camp, but he is claiming that his harassment is Russia’s fault. He is clearly an agent provocateur inside this refugee camp.

What everything comes down to is that you can’t pursue a deliberate policy of encirclement without eventually provoking the country you encircle to strike back. The West really overstepped their mark by betting everything on gaining Ukraine as the last piece of their encirclement puzzle. If the West wanted another outcome it would have treated Russia completely different, creating genuine partnership with it, alas that was never a goal from the part of the West.
