Firtash did not hide satisfaction of the court decision, but said that the point in this case to put more early
Austrian court refused to extradite Ukrainian businessman Dmitry Firtash in the United States, where he is accused of corruption.
49-year-old entrepreneur is one of the richest and most influential people of Ukraine. He was arrested in Vienna at the beginning of last year at the request of US authorities, who were investigating his activities since 2006.
He was released on bail of 125 million euros (140 million dollars) in March 2014.

Titan
The US accuses Firtash in the organization of international corruption scheme.
According to investigators, the suspects in this case – six people including Indian parliamentarians and businessmen from Hungary, India and Sri Lanka – have bribed Indian officials and politicians who were supposed to help with the issuance of licenses for production of titanium in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
The amount of bribes this transaction amounted to 18 million dollars, according to US investigators. Annual income from the project was estimated at $ 500 million.
The prosecution alleges that Firtash allegedly held talks with Indian officials and gave them the order to allocate funds.
Firtash says that his work with “Gazprom” was a legitimate
The US investigators said that the matter is in their jurisdiction because the suspects used to transfer funds for bribes, US financial institutions, as well as planning to sell titanium products unnamed company from Chicago.
The investigation of this case was conducted from Chicago FBI investigators, the case considered by the Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
The team Firtash said that the case against the businessman is politically motivated, as Washington believes that Firtash is Russian interests in Ukraine.
Firtash did business with the Russian gas giant “Gazprom”. One of the most memorable pages in the history of relations between Firtash with “Gazprom” is the “RosUkrEnergo” – intermediary company involved in the supply of Russian gas to Ukraine. Firtash owned a large stake in the joint venture.
Opponents accused the scheme “RosUkrEnergo” in the opacity, and at that time the head of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU), Alexander Turchinov said that the company is controlled by Semyon Mogilevich is wanted FBI on the line for a variety of charges.
VIENNA, May 1 – RIA Novosti. The judge of the Regional Court of Vienna in criminal matters Christophe Bauer, commenting on his decision to reject the US request for the extradition of Ukrainian businessman Dmitry Firtash, said Washington, in accordance with their interests, tried to eliminate a businessman from the political life of the country.
“My summary: for one year in Ukraine does two politically sensitive phase (Maidan and presidential elections). In these two phases of the United States decided to eliminate from the political life of a man who did not meet the interests of the United States. This fact I can not close their eyes “, – said the judge.
Bauer said that Firtash” is an influential figure in the Ukraine in the field of gas and titanium and in this context the gas – is a policy. ”
Lawyers billionaire said that Firtash prosecution in the United States, where he is accused of bribing an Indian policy in order to obtain a license for the development of titanium deposits, was politically motivated and called “geopolitical game” between the US and Russia for influence in Ukraine. According to them, supported by defense witnesses, Firtash got in sight of the United States, when he became a mediator in gas exports from Russia. Then it is gaining market share strategically important raw materials of titanium, and later political support first Viktor Yanukovych, then Vitali Klitschko, who were undesirable for the US presidential candidates in Ukraine.
As witnesses at the trial were the first President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk, the former head of the presidential administration Sergei Lyovochkin, former Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Yuriy Boyko. The mayor of Kiev Vitali Klitschko gave evidence via video link in a private meeting when journalists and other observers of the court session had been removed from the hall.
During the meeting itself Firtash and witnesses discussed the role of the oligarchs in the political struggle between the Maidan after fleeing Yanukovych, insisting that he was politically influential figure and was in conflict with the former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, and also played for the equal relations of Ukraine with the European Union and Russia.
The commander of the ground forces of NATO in Europe noted that Russia is increasing the possibility of conducting a serious and modernization in the military sphere
The commander of the ground forces of NATO in Europe, General Philip Breedlove said that Russia is using “mode silence “in eastern Ukraine to regroup forces and possible attack. He said, speaking before the Armed Services Committee of the US Senate,
According to the general, the Pentagon was caught off guard last Russian movement in Ukraine. He said that US intelligence agencies should have more opportunities to monitor the actions of Russia in the region, reports BBC Russian Service.
Breedlove has repeatedly stated that in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions there are a large number of Russian soldiers who train and advise the separatist forces.
Russia every time denies allegations of Western countries and international experts on its direct involvement in the conflict in Ukraine. ” We can not predict exactly what Russia is going to do, and we do not fully understand what the intentions of Putin. We can draw conclusions on the basis of his previous actions ” – said Breedlove.
” What we see, gives us reason to believe that Russia is developing its capacity, holds a major upgrade in the military sphere and bears ambitious strategic plans ” – he said to the senators.
According to the general, many of the actions of the Russian forces indicate a possible preparation for a new offensive.
The US is now considered illegal armed groups in Ukraine as a Representatives of the Russian forces.
The US officials received intelligence information on the region, according to which, in recent months, Russia has strengthened enormously management and control of the militants in the east of Ukraine.
The US intelligence organizations claim that there is more and more evidence that Russian troops and separatists work together, train together and to conduct operations under the control of a unified command structure, which ultimately obeys orders from Russia.
For example, the statement State Department spokesman Marie Harf, released last week, talked about air defense systems deployed near the border, escalating military groups not far from Kharkov – the second largest Ukrainian city, as well as enhancing training sessions with the participation of Russian drone. Harf called drones unmistakable sign of the presence of the Russian presence.
As the Associated Press, as a result of the US gradually introduced into official circulation a new term ‘joint Russian and separatist forces”. The term was The used three times in a State Department statement last week in which Moscow and pro-Russian militants accused in several cases of ceasefire violation in Ukraine.
According to correspondents, characterizing them now as a coordinated force acting in eastern Ukraine, the United States have placed more responsibility for the ongoing armed conflict in Russia.

MOSCOW, April 30 – RIA Novosti / Prime. Reducing the key rate of the Bank of Russia for 1.5 percentage points was not a surprise for the market. Analysts polled by RIA Novosti news agency, called the decision a “golden mean.” Now they are waiting for Russian banks to gradually reduce interest rates on loans and deposits, and the regulator – further steps to mitigate the monetary policy.
Central Bank decided on Thursday May 5, to reduce its key interest rate from 14% to 12, 5% per annum. At the same time the regulator has left in a release after a meeting of the Board of Directors of the key phrase about the readiness to further ease monetary policy to the weakening of inflationary risks and the cooling of the Russian economy.
Thus, the decision of the Central Bank practically coincided with forecasts of analysts, interviewed by RIA Novosti. They are expected to reduce rates by 1-2 percentage points, and pointed out that the conditions developing in the Russian economy, are favorable for further action in this direction.
The first reaction from Russian banks already have. Two of the five largest bank, VTB, and Gazprombank, just a few hours after the publication of the decision of the Central Bank announced reduction of interest rates on loans and deposits.
Inflation slowed down
According to the Bank of Russia as of April 27 annual inflation was 16.5%, but by April 2016 it must be reduced to less than 8% and up to the target level of 4% in 2017.
The existing high level of annual inflation, according to regulator, mainly due to short-term factors: the weakening of the ruble in late 2014 – early 2015, and trade restrictions.
At the same time the Central Bank sees signs of stabilization in the annual inflation rate and the reduction of inflation expectations. Monthly inflation in March and April have declined to an average of 1% from 3.1% in January and February.
“restraining effect on prices provided decrease in consumer demand in the face of shrinking real income observed in recent months to strengthen the ruble, “- said in a release control.
In his view, the current economic conditions will further slow down inflation and reduced inflation expectations.
market signals
Analysts notes that the decision of the Central Bank was not a surprise for the market, and unanimously expect the regulator to further reduce interest rates.
The indicators of this are the decline in inflation expectations, as well as a significant decline in GDP in the first quarter, and the downside risks to consumer spending, says Raiffeisenbank analyst Maria Pomelnikova. “The Central Bank will be guided by these two factors,” – she said.
Analysts expect that in the next meeting on June 15 the Central Bank has cut rates by at least 1 percentage point, despite concerns that annual inflation may remain consistently high for a few months.
“The market was waiting for a decline of 100-150 basis points. No surprises did not happen. Now we see evidence of this in the foreign exchange market, where the ruble traded conditionally stable,” – said in its turn, Dmitry Savchenko from Nordea Bank.
“If inflation will remain within the expected profile, if the ruble will not show some extraordinary volatility, the lower rates will continue,” – he predicts.
The Chairman of the Duma Committee on Economic Policy, president of the Association of Regional Banks Anatoly Aksakov also hopes that the next time the Central Bank will lower its key rate, and at least another 1.5 percentage points – Up to 11%.
The golden mean
At the same time experts estimate the current decline in the key rate by 1.5 percentage points as a fairly low-key step. The regulator seems committed to “the golden mean” straight out of any side of a rigid nor too soft towards policy chief economist says “Discovery Capital” Daria Isakova.
“The tone of the ruble and comments oil prices clearly become more positive – strengthening of the ruble will provide an additional deterrent effect on inflation, and in particular in this regard, the Bank of Russia lowered its forecasts for inflation and a rise in oil prices will support the economic recovery, “- she added.
The head of the Association of Russian Banks (ARB) Garegin Tosunyan believes that the Central Bank is wise, gradually decreasing rate. “Correct, competent policy – reduction of neat. I was a categorical opponent at higher rates, but mind the sharp decline,” – he said.
“The fundamental conditions allowed the Central Bank to make this step – the ruble is stable, inflation reduced. We would like to the Central Bank lowered the rate to 12%. But the Central Bank, apparently, is now reinsured because the ruble still need to watch how it is stable. Second, you need to watch inflation. It is obvious that the period when we go to grass, that is the end of spring – summer, inflation is usually quite significantly reduced “, – adds Aksakov.
Wagering
Analysts expect banks following the decision of the Central Bank will start to lower your rates on deposits and loans, with the result that will stimulate demand for loans and revive the economy. However, this process is not fast.
In particular, the results of Aksakov 2015 forecasts growth of the corporate loan portfolio by 12%, and an even greater increase in deposits from individuals.
Tosunyan does not expect banks to sharp movements in interest rates. “Immediately one will not respond. Gradually, little by little start to lower (rates) of deposits in the first place, and secondly, of the loan. But, unfortunately, lending is now in a corral that we need a very serious period for a substantial market recovery” – he believes.
Meanwhile, the first signs are already there. The press service of VTB, the second Russian bank by assets, RIA Novosti reported that the bank will reduce interest rates on corporate loans in proportion to the reduction in the key rate of the Central Bank.
In turn, Gazprombank, the third largest bank in the Russian Federation, with May 1 lowers interest rates on ruble and foreign currency deposits, told RIA Novosti deputy chairman Alexander Sobol Bank. Interest rates on ruble deposits will be reduced by 1-1.6 percentage points for foreign currency – to 0,1-0,65 pp.
With regard to interest rates on loans, the bank decides After monitoring their changing interest rates on the market.

Before ISS “Progress” was engaged in the supply of “Peace” and the two “Salute”
Flight of the spacecraft “Progress-M27M” to the International Space Station ended in failure.
” Installed failures of individual components and assemblies freight cargo ship and found no leakage of trunk-block propulsion system. In this regard, a further flight of the ship and its docking with the ISS does not seem possible “- said at a press conference in Moscow on Wednesday, the head of the Russian Space Agency, Igor Komarov.
According to Komarov, the Russian Space Agency trying to organize a controlled descent from orbit spacecraft.
What happened when you start?
Carrier rocket “Soyuz-2.1A” with cargo spacecraft “Progress-M27M” was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on April 28 at 10: 10 Moscow time. After nine minutes the ship undocked from the third stage of the “Union”.
The ship passed the Earth at least partial telemetric information.
The fact that it happened at the time of separation, not reported. According to experts, at this time there was an event that led to the fact that the ship was not able to transmit telemetry to the ground and began to spin.
On the rotation of evidence, in particular, appeared on the Internet footage as allegedly on the body of the camera, “Progress”.
Mission Control Center attempts to contact the ship in those moments when he is in the “field of view” Russian communications space.
The ship sent command, and then watch whether he performs them – telemetry information from it almost does not arrive.
Roscosmos said that “controlled orbit” of the ship, but did not explain what that means.
Were there problems before “progress”?
The cargo ship was launched into operation in 1978, is one of the most reliable Russian spacecraft.
It serves for the fourth space station. Earlier, the “Progress” cargo transported on the “Salyut-6″, “Salyut-7″, “The World”.
For all the time was lost only one ship of this type, and then – when you run accident was caused by a malfunction in the launcher.
August 24, 2011 “Progress” has fallen in just a few minutes after the launch from Baikonur. How to set a check to the accident of “progress” has resulted in clogging of the gas generator in the third stage rocket motor “Union”.
According to experts, is a reliable vehicle that has proven its efficiency in dozens of successful launches for nearly 40 years .
What will happen to the ship on?
Now that Roskosmos officially announced the impossibility of docking with the ISS, there are two possible options – either ship will fall to Earth he or it gently “toppled”.
So far, the information that the ship respond to the Earth, have been reported.
Meanwhile, a variety of sources in the space industry, often anonymous, news agencies reported that the orbit of the ship is reduced. He slowly falls.
One of these sources said that there is a version, according to which the uncontrollable ship “catches” the lowest point of its orbit (perigee) the upper atmosphere, and it slows down it, which in turn leads to a decrease in orbit.
There are already various calculations about the fall. They vary widely, but they all said that it will fall until May 10.
Is it dangerous to fall “Progress”?
According to experts, the fall debris can occur in a broad belt from 52 degrees north to 52 degrees south latitude – from Berlin to the Falkland Islands.
Most of the spacecraft burned while passing through the Earth’s atmosphere. Exactly how many burn depends on whether to start the “Progress” to collapse before entering the atmosphere. According to one version, as a result of contingency ship was surrounded by rubble.
In addition, the process of destruction depends on the angle at which the space truck will go into the atmosphere.
A member of the Russian Academy of Cosmonautics Yuri Karash recalls that the total weight of the Earth spacecraft ever to visit the wreckage of station “Mir”, submerged in the Pacific Ocean in 2001 amounted to about 20-30 tons, which is about one-sixth of the total weight of the station.
As the BBC -bi BBC chief editor of “Space News” Igor Marinin, the Russian Space Agency have experience in an uncontrolled descent from orbit “progress” is not, as all previous launches ended in controlled flooding as a result of the accident the only spacecraft to orbit not reached.
Therefore, no one knows how to survive the test vehicle.
According Marinin, the ship does not have thermal protection, and should burn almost all. Its design has a massive and sleek details that may not burn completely.
He thinks that could theoretically survive spherical tanks with compressed gases can survive combustion engines, made of fire-resistant materials.
According to Marinin, the probability that the debris may fall as a result of harm to human health is extremely low.
As stated at a press conference in Moscow, the head of the flight of the Russian segment of the ISS, Vladimir Solovyov, the wreckage vehicle does not reach the earth’s surface. According to him, the experience of flooding “progress” in unnavigable Pacific shows that “all tend to burn in the dense layers of the atmosphere up to an altitude of 60 kilometers”.
What now will the ISS?
“Progress” was supposed to deliver to the ISS water, food and other supplies.
But his failure does not present a hazard to astronauts. The stock of rations at the station solid, and most experts agree that worry on this score is not worth at least another four months.
During this time, to the ISS must go the American cargo ship and space expedition of Japan.
But history knows cases where due to the reduction in the number of flights to the ISS daily allowance of food for the astronauts decreased. This happened in 2004, after the termination of the flight of US space shuttle due to the collapse of the shuttle “Columbia”. Rations then “lost weight” from 3000 to 2700 calories a day.
As the ship was insured?
“Ingosstrakh” and SOGAZ insured jointly launch and docking ” Progress “on 2 billion rubles.
“The amount of any payments are not critical to the financial condition of SOGAZ: our company pay for its obligations by an average of about 135 million rubles on a daily basis,” – said the BBC BBC first deputy chairman Nikolai Galushin SOGAZ. The contract of insurance “progress” is reinsured in the international companies, he SOGAZ to pay about 150 million.
As said company spokeswoman Catherine Dvoinikov, the decision on payment will be made in the event that the ship will not be able to dock with ISS, and only after the conclusion of the Russian Space Agency and TSENKI (Center for operation of ground-based space infrastructure).
When the launch will be officially recognized as a failure, it will be necessary to determine the cause of the launch failure: the launcher itself or the cargo ship. “If there is a clear reason, either in relation to the” Union “, or for” Advance “cost of insurance can be increased,” – said Galushin.
It is known that representatives “Ingosstrakh” evaluated failure to start launcher “Proton-M” with the satellite communication about a year ago, as a significant loss. That launch was insured by nearly 8 billion rubles, according to the representative of the insurance company, a series of setbacks with “Proton” pushing Western insurance companies to refuse to reinsurance risks to launch these missiles.
In a spacecraft “Progress” Reputation is much better than the rocket “Proton”.
What will happen to the “Union” and “progress”?
Work on the construction of a new “Proton “will not be stopped,” the Union “will fly.
” failed launch of the truck “Progress” will not mean the end of the use of the carrier rocket “Soyuz”, – said the deputy head of the Russian Federal Space Agency Alexander Ivanov.
According Marinin will be soon formed an emergency committee with representatives from all manufacturing facilities and employees of Federal Space Agency, which will examine all available information and find out at what point and what went wrong – to blame if the third stage of the launch vehicle or the ship itself.
Once it is established that it is not worked out, he said, Roskosmos will look, whether the item is set, the fault which led to the accident, in other devices.
In any event, considers Marinin, flying rockets and the ship will be suspended. This, however, will not affect the “Union of FG” which brings into orbit manned spacecraft “Soyuz”, as its third stage is different from stage “At Union”.
Currently, the Federal Space Agency plans to send next “Progress” to the ISS in the third quarter of 2015, and another one – in the fourth quarter.
MOSCOW, April 29. Investigation into the causes of the emergency launch cargo spacecraft “Progress” should be completed before 13 May. On this, as reported “Interfax”, said the first deputy head of the Russian Federal Space Agency Alexander Ivanov.
“We have to plan for May 26 launch of the rocket” Soyuz-FG “with manned spacecraft. The meeting of the State Commission on the start-up is scheduled for May 13 . Therefore, before May 13, we have to finish the job, to make a final decision about starting a manned “- he said.
Ivanov suggested that the emergency situation that occurred with the cargo spacecraft” Progress-M27M ” most likely caused by the separation of the spacecraft and carrier rocket, according to RIA Novosti.
As noted, in turn, the head of the Russian Space Agency, Igor Komarov, the cause of the accident will be established. “Without removing guilt and shifting it on anyone, should determine the true causes, and then to conclusions,” – said Komarov.
He said Tass reports that the space truck “Progress M-27M” can not docked with the International Space Station (ISS), so it considered variants of flooding.
“The absence of leaks in the line unit of the propulsion system. In this regard, the continuation of the flight cargo vehicle and a safe docking with the ISS is not possible , currently under control of the systems on board cargo vehicle and worked further options sinking ship “, – he said.
According to Komarov, telemetry from the ship was gone for fifteen seconds before its separation from the launch vehicle” Soyuz -2.1a. ” “Start the flight of space rocket took place in the normal mode, but for fifteen seconds before the estimated time of separation from the third stage of the ship recorded loss of telemetry data. In this case, it was subsequently found that the separation of cargo vehicle passed in a timely manner,” – said the head of the Russian Space Agency.
Later failures have been fixed a number of systems and components. Thus, it was found that the truck revolves at a rate of 90 degrees per second. He is the third stage of “Soyuz-2.1a” is the so-called disposal orbit (at which stage or spent boosters fall to Earth) at a distance of 30 km from each other.
The cargo vehicle “Progress M-27M “I was launched on Tuesday from the Baikonur cosmodrome by a carrier rocket” Soyuz-2.1a. ” The ship “Progress” has not come to the calculated orbit due to incorrect operation of one of the stages of the rocket “Soyuz -2.1a.” According to experts, the wreckage of the space truck “Progress M-27M”, which has already started a spontaneous decayed, fall to the ground during the period from 7 to 11 May.
