Information Released on June NATO Exercise in Kherson
Translated by Ollie Richardson for Fort Russ

May, 2016
During
the intelligence activities by the "Odessa" brigade it
became known that military exercises under the auspices of NATO
will be held on the territory of the Kherson region in the first
half of June. Such countries as Ukraine, USA, Turkey, and other
contingents of NATO forces will take part.
Military
equipment and heavy weapons involved in the above event will arrive
and be unloaded at the deep-sea ports of Odessa and Nikolaev. With
the above mentioned ports, it will spill over into the territory of
Kherson region, namely the venue of military maneuvers.
One
of the notable nuances is that the Western-controlled media is
silent about these exercises. This occurs despite the fact that
previously such plans were preceded any public statements or
publication in the news.
In
addition, another factor is that the accumulation of troops and
military equipment will be in close proximity to the state border
with the Russian Federation, namely the Crimean Peninsula.
Also,
attention should be paid to the fact that over the past week
Israeli vessels, in very small volumes and with an urgent speed,
exported concentrated vegetable oil and grain through the Nikolaev
seaport. It was very similar to the desire in short notice to
remove liquid assets from certain territories. At the same time,
given the agility of the Israelis, all this can have an ulterior
motive.
The
"Odessa" brigade focused on the fact that because of a
combination of the information received in light of the aggressive
policy of the West, the vassal government in Kiev, and also the
created and supported armed groups, it looks quite alarming. Thus,
there is a definite probability of a possible aggravation of the
military-political situation in the southern regions of Ukraine in
the form of armed aggression against the Russian Federation, namely
Crimea.
The
United Kingdom is ready to deploy at least 1,000 troops to the Baltic
States bordering with Russia, backing them with tanks and artillery
in order to boost the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)’s
buildup in the region, a new report has revealed.
London
is expected to announce the decision at the upcoming NATO summit
which will be held in the Polish capital of Warsaw in July, The Times
reported.
The
US-led military alliance plans to deploy up to 4,000 additional
troops in Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania and the British deployment
would make up one of NATO’s battalions, the newspaper added.
Originally,
the US had planned to provide half of the forces, while Germany and
the UK shouldered the rest.
However,
Washington changed its mind later on and said it would only provide
one 1,000-strong battalion, urging the European members of the
alliance to spend more on their own defense.
According
to the Times, UK military officials are considering plans to
stockpile tanks and other heavy equipment across Eastern Europe to
further NATO’s so-called “enhanced forward presence.”
British
Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said in February that “2016 will
see a particular focus on the Baltic region” to deter “the
Russian aggression.”
US State Department Issues European Travel Alert - Warns Of Terrorist Attacks
In
a somewhat stunning warning, The US State Department has issued a
travel warning for Europe for the next 3 months due to the risk of
"potential terrorist attacks." We can only imagine what
Europe's tourism ministers will have to say about this...
As
part of the State Department’s continuous efforts to provide
Americans travelling abroad with information about relevant
events, we
are alerting U.S. citizens to the risk of potential terrorist attacks
throughout Europe, targeting major events, tourist sites,
restaurants, commercial centers and transportation. The
large number of tourists visiting Europe in the summer months will
present greater targets for terrorists planning attacks in public
locations, especially at large events.
An interview by Afshin Rattansi with the head of Britain’s Foreign Affairs Committee, Crispin Blunt, on the dangerous state of British-Russian relations.
Nuclear Hype: Russian & British Relations ‘Are in Dangerous Place’
21st
Century Wire says…
Is
the hype real?
In
the following excerpt from Going Underground, Afshin Rattansi
interviews the head of Britain’s Foreign Affairs Committee on the
state of British-Russian relations Crispin Blunt.
Blunt
believes the state of relations between the two nations is in a
‘dangerous place’, and does not appear to rule out the
possibility of open war between them.
While
some believe NATO and Russia are on
a collision course thanks to Russian actions, it can easily
be seen that the
real aggressor here is actually NATO.

social meltdown in France continues
'Guerrilla-type action' France faces major tourism hit in wake of labor reform protests
French

unrest.

Thousands
of people in France may not reach their destinations as a new round

government doesn't seem to be ready to negotiate. Xavier Timbeau,
Director of a French Economic Observatory, talks to RT about French
trade unions backlash to labor reform.
Less
than a month after a damning report emerged that a high-ranking
police officer has alleged that his seniors tried to strike the word
rape from an internal police report after the mass sexual assaults in
Cologne over New Year, Germany is gripped in a new sexual assault
scandal involving refugees. Eighteen German women have filed police
complaints saying they were sexually assaulted at a musical festival
in Darmstadt. Police arrested three refugees from Pakistan at the
scene after three of the women immediately reported their attacks.
According
to Die
Welt,
the sexual assaults are reported to have taken place at the
Schlossgrabenfest music festival in the city of Darmstadt, near
Frankfurt, on Saturday night. The festival in Darmstadt took place
over four days and attracted some 400,000 revelers.
Phone
and online survey shows a 52-48 split in favour of leaving the EU as
referendum campaign gathers steam
A
VOTE for Brexit in the upcoming European Union referendum could be
the first step in the dismantling of the entire EU, experts have
predicted.
Growing
Eurosceptic factions in countries such as Denmark, Czech Republic and
Poland could force similar referendums across the bloc if Britons
choose to severe ties with Brussels fat cats in June.
Antonio
Barroso, senior vice-president of political risk consultancy at Teneo
Intelligence believes a British rejection of Eurocrats in June could
lead the “disintegration” of the EU.
He
said: “The main concern is that an unexpected exit of the UK from
the EU could lead to similar initiatives in other member states,
making Brexit the first step towards the disintegration of the
union.”
Mr
Barroso warned that Denmark could be the next nation to quit the bloc
due to the prominence of eurosceptic Danish People’s Party (DF).
Not
having to contribute to the EU budget will mean an immediate cost
reduction of around €180 per person in the UK, raising the prospect
of tax reductions that could benefit businesses
Legislation:
We wouldn't be bound by the European Parliament, which is considered
by many to be undemocratic. This is because its Commission which
proposes legislation is not directly elected
Crime
fighting: The European arrest warrant helps us fight against
cross-border crime, allowing the police to bring justice without
drawn-out extradition procedures
He
added: “Brexit could embolden the increasingly popular DF to push
for its own referendum project.
“The
DF may at the very least further limit the pragmatic Venstre party's
room for manoeuvre on EU issues.”
The
right-wing Danish People’s Party, which has in the past called for
the EU to have less influence over Denmark’s affairs, is currently
the second largest party in the country’s parliament.
Denmark
has already rejected calls for Brussels to have more control.
In
2000, 53 per cent of voters chose not to join the Eurozone, while
last December Denmark chose to retain its exemption from certain EU
rules such as asylum and border control.
Speaking
about the Czech Republic, Mr Barroso said: “A potential
constitutional change may enable several opposition parties to push
for a referendum."
And
the latest from Syria – an accusation by the Turks of the Russians
Turkey blames Russia for airstrikes in Syrian province of Idlib, MoD denies allegations
The
Russian Defense Ministry has rejected allegations that the Russian
Air Force delivered airstrikes on Idlib city, Syria. Reuters earlier
reported that Russian airstrikes targeted a number of sites in the
city, including one next to a hospital.
US 'working closely' with Russia to find those responsible for Idlib airstrike
The
Department of State did not back the accusations that Russian jets
were responsible for airstrikes that killed at least 23 people in
Syria’s Idlib province, and said the US was working with Russia to
figure out what happened.
“We’re
still looking into what happened in Idlib. We don’t have a great
sense of complete knowledge here of who’s responsible,” State
Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters Tuesday.
“We’re
going to continue to work closely – inside the cessation of
hostilities task force – with the Russians to try to figure out
what happened here, and we’ll take it from there,” Kirby said.
“Obviously, the images coming out of Idlib are very troubling.
Obviously, the killing of innocent civilians is a violation of the
cessation of hostilities, period.”
Up
to 28 people, including seven children, were killed in overnight
airstrikes in Idlib on Monday, according to the London-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights. The SOHR blamed Russia for the
“heaviest bombardment there since a cessation of hostilities was
agreed in February,” according to Reuters, claiming that one of the
bombing sites was next to a hospital.
The
Russian Defense Ministry rejected the пallegations.
German
authorities exert pressure on politicians, public figures,
businessmen and athletes who want to visit Crimea, German politician
and head of the German party "Unity" Dmitry Rempel
confessed during a press conference in Simferopol.
According
to him, entrepreneurs and politicians are subject to pressure from
several German agencies.
"Some
business representatives who traveled with us had to undergo various
check-ups, while their bank accounts were closed. Students were told
that this trip might mean the end of their student careers,"
Rempel said, adding that similar measures applied to hockey players
who joined the delegation.
According
to the latest data, some members of the delegation were forced to
abandon their trips to avoid losing their jobs
