No matter which government comes to power in Ukraine, Russia will not reconsider its earlier signed agreements, he told a news conference in Brussels.
"Regarding you question whether we will review our agreements on loans and the energy sector if the opposition will take power ... No, we will not," Putin told a news conference after talks with European Union leaders in Brussels.
- The loan and the gradual reduction of gas price were to “support the people of Ukraine, not the government”.
- “It’s the ordinary people who always suffer,” he added.
Putin said that Moscow believes that meddling in Ukraine’s domestic affairs is unacceptable.........http://rt.com/news/putin-eu-ukraine-summit-293/

If new Ukrainian govt revises agenda, Russia may revise agreements with Kyiv - Shuvalov ...
ReplyDeleteIf a new Ukrainian government announces a different agenda and different priorities, this could theoretically serve as grounds for Moscow to revise the existing agreements with Kyiv, but this possibility is not under consideration now, Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov said.
"If the Ukrainian government, whatever it is after its formation, announces a different agenda and different priorities, then this would probably be grounds for us to revise the agreements. But it is important for us to comply with all of our commitments within the boundaries of the existing agreements," Shuvalov told journalists following an EU-Russia summit on Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteL'agence de notation américaine Standard & Poor's a annoncé mardi la dégradation d'un cran de B- à CCC+ de la note de l'Ukraine en raison de l'instabilité politique qui règne dans le pays.
"L'instabilité politique en Ukraine s'est considérablement accrue", explique-t-elle dans son communiqué pour justifier cette décision. "Selon nos critères, l'Ukraine est désormais considérée comme une nation dont la société civile est en détresse et les institutions politiques affaiblies", précise-t-elle.

Vladimir Putin tells Brussels to stay out of Ukraine's political crisis...
ReplyDeleteRussian president dismisses EU decision to send envoy to Kiev: 'The more intermediaries there are, the more problems there are'
President Vladmir Putin warned Europe to keep its hands off Ukraine on Tuesday, as Brussels sent its top foreign policy envoy to Kiev to try to mediate in the 10-week stand-off between President Viktor Yanukovych and the opposition on the streets.
Russia's intervention in Brussels followed Yanukovych's biggest concession to the opposition, the sacking of his hardline prime minister and government and a promise to repeal draconian laws criminalising protest and freedom of speech.
Putin met EU leaders for the first time since November's clash between the Kremlin and Europe over the future of Ukraine triggered the crisis in Kiev. Catherine Ashton, the EU foreign policy chief, took part in the meetings with Putin in Brussels then travelled to Kiev to try to mediate between the opposing sides.
"The more intermediaries there are, the more problems there are," Putin said. "I am not sure Ukraine needs intermediaries." He pointedly noted that European leaders would complain if Russia sent envoys to mediate in the Greek crisis of the past four years..............http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/28/vladimir-putin-ukraine-crisis-eu

Ukraine-Krise: Russisches Parlament kritisiert „rücksichtslose Einmischung“ des Westens...
DeleteDer Föderationsrat (russisches Parlamentsoberhaus) hat eine Erklärung über die Situation in der Ukraine angenommen. Darin äußern die Abgeordneten „Befremden und Empörung“ über die Äußerungen von westlichen Politikern, die sich „rücksichtslos in die inneren Angelegenheiten der Ukraine einmischen und absichtlich die Situation im Land destabilisieren“ würden.
„Der Föderationsrat ruft auf, die unverhohlene Einmischung von außen in die Angelegenheiten eines souveränen Staates einzustellen“, heißt es in der Erklärung.
Die Senatoren drücken in dem Dokument Beunruhigung über die Situation in der Ukraine aus und betonen, dass die von der Opposition provozierten Massenunruhen mit friedlichen Protestaktionen nichts zu tun hätten.
Die gut organisierte Kampagne sei auf Diskreditierung und den Sturz einer legitimen Regierung gerichtet.
„Die Pogrome und Brandstiftungen in Kiew und anderen ukrainischen Städten, der Sturm auf Verwaltungsgebäude, aggressive Handlungen gegen die Rechtsordnungskräfte, die zu Todesopfern und zahlreichen Verletzten führten“ – all dies erfolge „mit der Billigung jener, die die Menschen auf die Straßen geführt haben“, heißt es in der Erklärung des Föderationsrates.
Die Ukraine stecke in einer tiefen politischen Krise, die schwerwiegende Folgen für das ukrainische Volk, die Staatlichkeit und die territoriale Integrität des Landes haben könne, so die russischen Parlamentarier.
Der Föderationsrat verurteile entschieden Gewalt, Nationalismus und Xenophobie und rufe alle politischen Kräfte der Ukraine auf, nach Auswegen aus der heutigen Konfrontation zu suchen – und zwar allein mit Hilfe des Dialogs, ohne jegliche Ultimaten und Druck, heißt es in der Erklärung weiter.
„Der Föderationsrat gibt seiner Überzeugung Ausdruck, dass das ukrainische Brudervolk und die Führung der Ukraine Wege zur Wiederherstellung von Ruhe und Ordnung im Land finden.“

Ukraine expects $2 billion tranche of Russian aid soon: acting PM...
ReplyDelete(Reuters) - Ukraine's interim prime minister pledged on Wednesday to work to limit damage to the economy from more than two months of turmoil and said he expected Russia to disburse a further $2 billion of aid "very soon".
The former Soviet republic has been gripped by mass street unrest since President Viktor Yanukovich walked away from a trade pact with the European Union last November, opting for closer economic ties with Russia which has brought it a $15 billion bailout package.
With Yanukovich and loyalist deputies in parliament now making concessions to defuse the crisis and with the resignation of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, there had been speculation that Russia might slow or even halt the stream of aid.
But, following a pledge on Tuesday by Russian President Vladimir Putin that Moscow would honor its promise to extend $15 billion in credits and cheaper gas, Ukraine's acting prime minister Serhiy Arbuzov expressed confidence a second tranche of $2 billion would be released soon.
"We have already received the first tranche of $3 billion and expect to receive the second tranche of $2 billion very soon," said Arbuzov, chairing his first cabinet meeting as interim premier. The Russian credits are coming on stream via Ukrainian government-issued bonds...............http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/29/us-ukraine-arbuzov-idUSBREA0S0HI20140129?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews

Russia to Wait for New Ukrainian Govt Before Releasing More Aid....
ReplyDeleteKIEV, January 29 (RIA Novosti) – Russia warned Ukraine on Wednesday that it will halt the implementation of a financial aid package until the crisis-hit former Soviet nation has formed a new government.
Financial and energy agreements with Ukraine will only be honored when “we understand what sort of government there will be, who will be working in it and what rules they will stick to,” Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev told the Cabinet on Wednesday, Prime business news agency reported.
“That’s sensible, let’s wait for the new Ukrainian government to be formed,” responded President Vladimir Putin, who was also present at the meeting, Prime reported.
Russia agreed to supply Ukraine with $15 billion worth of loans and slash the price for gas in a December deal that was widely seen as a political reward for Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych after his decision to back off from integration plans with Europe and cement closer ties with Russia..................http://en.ria.ru/russia/20140129/187025942/Russia-to-Wait-for-New-Ukrainian-Govt-Before-Releasing-More-Aid.html

Επανέλαβε, ωστόσο, προηγούμενη δήλωσή του εντός της ημέρας, η οποία είχε γίνει υπό μορφή εντολής προς τη ρωσική κυβέρνηση, ότι η Ρωσία θα τιμήσει τις συμφωνίες της με την Ουκρανία ασχέτως του ποια παράταξη θα κυβερνά στο Κίεβο.
