Kremlin points to high probability of Kiev unleashing military attack on Donbass

Despite weeks of intensive international negotiations on de-escalation in Ukraine, the tension between Kiev and Moscow is not abating, Dmitry Peskov pointed out

It is highly probable that Kiev will embark on a combat operation in Donbass, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

"The attention of our interlocutors is drawn in every possible way to this dangerous concentration [of the Ukrainian troops at the engagement line in Donbass] and the attention of our interlocutors is drawn to the fact that a military operation and an attempt to resolve problems with the use of force in the southeast [of Ukraine] are quite real. This probability is high and real and, unfortunately, all of us and the entire world were witnesses when Kiev unleashed a military operation in Donbass, that is, it started a civil war in the country," the Russian presidential spokesman said.

Despite weeks of intensive international negotiations on de-escalation in Ukraine, the tension between Kiev and Moscow is not abating, Peskov pointed out.

"The high level of danger [of Ukraine attacking the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics] persists," the Kremlin press secretary said, adding that this probability was not subsiding.

China’s Corporate Social Credit System: How businesses can prepare

As part of China’s push towards data-driven governance, the Corporate Social Credit System (CSCS) is to be a single, standardized reputation-based scheme for both local and foreign firms doing business in China, ensuring their regulatory compliance and improving their corporate behaviour. Although delayed due to slow regional implementation, standardizing best practices and evaluation criteria, and shifted priorities from the Covid-19 pandemic, China seeks to speed up completion of its ambitious credit monitoring system with the recent release of numerous regulations and policies.

While the CSCS has, the potential to level-the-playing-field for local and foreign firms alike, compliance for foreign firms may be more complex and costly. Resultantly, businesses must be prepared to navigate inconsistent regulatory systems with caution, as China can easily change their regulatory and compliance postures towards specific industries with limited notice.

>Two ethnic Greeks are dead & 2 heavily wounded in Eastern #Ukraine, due to a violent episode with three Ukrainian soldiers.

https://www.thepressreporter.in/greece-says-two-expatriates-killed-in-eastern-ukraine-urges-all-greeks-to-leave-immediately/

Greece says two expatriates killed in eastern Ukraine, urges all Greeks to leave ‘immediately’

Greece’s international ministry stated on Monday two Greek expatriates have been killed and one other two significantly injured in an incident involving Ukrainian troopers within the nation’s east close to the entrance line of the battle with pro-Russian separatist forces.

Earlier, Greece issued an advisory urging its nationals to keep away from travelling to Ukraine and calling on any Greeks there to go away “instantly” within the face of fears that Russia, which has massed forces close to Ukraine’s borders, might quickly invade.

Moscow has denied any invasion plans and has accused the West of hysteria, however made clear that it sees Ukraine’s quest for nearer ties with the West, notably over NATO, as a menace and has demanded a collection of safety concessions.

The Greek international ministry stated in a press release that three Ukrainian troopers have been “accountable” for the deaths and accidents to the 4 Greeks within the village of Hranitne near the “line of contact” with pro-Russian separatist forces, who seized a swathe of japanese Ukraine in 2014.

It stated the violence erupted after the Greeks and Ukrainian troopers received into an argument “for an insignificant cause”.

It didn’t say what the Greeks have been doing within the space however a Greek international ministry official stated the incident had nothing to do with the continued battle within the area.

Ukrainian authorities didn’t instantly reply to a Reuters’ request for remark.

The ministry assertion stated Greek Overseas Minister Nikos Dendias has sought to talk together with his Ukrainian counterpart concerning the incident and burdened that the Greek neighborhood in Ukraine must be protected. A couple of thousand Greek residents dwell within the former Soviet republic.

I had the opportunity to brief you on the challenges we are facing in the Aegean. What we are facing are violations of our airspace on an almost daily basis, from the part of Turkey (statement following my meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs of #Norway @AHuitfeldt).

A situation in which Turkish officials again on a daily basis have entered into a "barrage" of illegal and provocative statements against us. Statements that have nothing to do with International Law. Statements that have nothing to do with International Law of the Sea.

Turkey chooses this very moment, when there is a deep need for NATO solidarity, to use words which are a provocation against Greece’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. These statements put into question Turkey’s commitment to NATO.

Yet again, Greece is always ready to engage in a constructive dialogue with Turkey, under one provision: this dialogue has to take place under the rules of International Law and International Law of the Sea. It cannot be a dialogue without rules.

🧵Following the RCMP raid and seizure in #Coutts, Chris Lysak, once called the "head of security for Diagolon" by de facto leader Jeremy MacKenzie, has been accused of conspiracy to commit murder. 1/

MacKenzie – who is facing possible weapons charges himself after being arrested in mid-January in Nova Scotia – is now claiming the weapons were planted, and that he doesn’t know who the weapons belong to. 2/

Lysak, who posted to various Telegram channels and chats as “Sly Fox,” appeared to be preparing for a show of force in response to perceived pending removal of the Coutts blockade. Other users in Diagolon channels referenced that Lysak was at the blockade. 3/

"Sly Fox" and many co-accused signed a flag hanging on the wall of Smuggler’s Saloon at Coutts, as did several other blockade attendees, incl Artur Palowski & Rebel News content creator Kian “K2” Simone.

The flag was posted to Facebook by Lysak’s co-accused, Chris Carbert. 4/

When police released images of the seized firearms, we were interested in the patches. One of the tac vests on display shows the black & white flag of Diagolon, the symbol of a network of far-right accelerationist survivalists. 5/

Special credit to the keen Reddit user who placed so many signatures on the flag, as well as identified where it was located. 6/

RCMP charge four men with plotting to murder officers in connection with Coutts border protest

Four Alberta men are in custody accused of plotting to murder RCMP officers and nine other people are facing weapons and mischief offences as part of what RCMP say was a significant and organized threat by a heavily armed group at the Coutts border protest – and the first public steps in an continuing RCMP investigation into illegal activity at the blockade.

“I can tell you that this threat was very serious,” said Southern Alberta RCMP Chief Superintendent Trevor Daroux, speaking at an RCMP press conference Tuesday evening.

The arrests began after RCMP tactical officers raided two camper trailers and a mobile home on 1st Avenue North in Coutts shortly after midnight on Monday.

Chris Carbert, 44; Christopher Lysak, 48; Anthony Olienick, 39; and Jerry Morin, 40, are charged with possession of weapons for a dangerous purpose and mischief over $5,000, in addition to the conspiracy to commit murder charges. Mr. Lysak faces an additional charge of uttering threats.

Six more men – Luke Berk, 62; Johnson Law, 39; Evan Colenutt, 23; Justin Martin, 22; Eastin Stewart Oler, 22; and Janx Zaremba, 18 – and three women – Joanne Person, 62; Jaclyne Martin, 39; and Ursula Allred, 22 – are also charged with mischief and unlawful weapons offences in relation to the blockade.

“Monday’s weapons seizure and subsequent arrests speak to the serious criminal activities taking place during this protest and illegal blockade. The dangerous criminal activity occurring away from the TV cameras and social-media posts was real and organized,” said Deputy Commissioner Curtis Zablocki. “It could have been deadly for citizens, protesters and officers.”

Chief Supt. Daroux said RCMP were in touch with protest organizers before the blockade began, seeking to balance the rights of citizens to protest with an open border and public safety. He said police were initially assured the protest would remain peaceful and lawful, but that once protesters established themselves at the border, “it very rapidly became an unlawful protest with some very real safety concerns.”

While RCMP have faced questions and criticism over videos that appeared to show police being friendly with protesters – even hugging them – he said the operation was focused on safety, but that officers were gathering evidence at all times, and that an investigation into illegal activity during the blockade is continuing, with more charges expected.

“The lack of what you see, visible enforcement, doesn’t preclude enforcement from coming and investigation continuing after that,” he said. “These are very dynamic situations. A lot of those facts will come out through the courts, but I can assure you that where the evidence is available, charges will be laid and individuals will be brought to court.”

A photo released by RCMP after the arrests showed a large cache of firearms and ammunition seized from the property, including 13 long guns, many with scopes, as well as loads of ammunition, high-capacity magazines, handguns, body armour, a large machete, and walkie-talkies.

>RCMP charge four men with plotting to murder officers in connection with Coutts border protest

The RCMP confirmed the location of the raid in Coutts. No one answered the door at the property Tuesday morning.

On the night of the raid, an account with the same name as Ms. Person wrote on Facebook that RCMP officers were on her property.

“The full tactical is at my home and they are [telling] us to leave the home and that they are entering. My god. Please help us,” she wrote Monday morning at 12:21 a.m. She later wrote that she needed a lawyer. “There is swat and tactical [surrounding] my yard,” she wrote three minutes later.

One of the campers in the yard bore the slogan “Lets Go Brandon!,” a political slam at U.S. President Joe Biden. Outside, there was a case of Pilsner beer and a barbecue, along with coolers, gas cans and propane tanks.

Possible ties to larger extremist groups remain under investigation, RCMP say.Handout

Dealing with the charges at Lethbridge Provincial Court on Tuesday, court heard the individuals were in quarantine, and therefore could not appear by video-link as their matters were dealt with. Given the circumstances, their appearances were waived by both the defence and Crown.

The four men facing the conspiracy to commit murder charges were remanded in custody for bail hearings, and are currently slated to be back in court on Friday. Mr. Colenutt was also remanded in custody until Friday, pending a bail hearing.

The other eight accused, who live in Red Deer, Calgary, Coutts and Turner Valley, were all released with the consent of the Crown under a number of conditions, including having no contact with their co-accused, not being in or near public protests, and having no weapons or firearms. Their charges were all adjourned until March 15.

During the proceedings, court heard that three of the accused – Mr. Martin, Ms. Allred and Mr. Oler – are roommates – and that they work with Mr. Zaremba at a Calgary LED lighting company. The connection between the other accused, and whether they knew each other before the blockade or met at the scene, is not clear.

RCMP say possible ties to larger extremist groups remain under investigation, and that more charges are possible, related both to the group and to other illegal activity at the border blockade.

Social-media posts by several of the individuals reflect anti-vaccination, anti-mask, conspiracy and anti-government sentiment. Body armour seized by RCMP in the raid includes patches identified with conspiracy and far-right movements.

On social media, Mr. Carbert and Mr. Lysak have both interacted with posts by a man described by the Canadian Anti-Hate Network as the leader of a radical far-right movement that wants to bring about the dissolution of Canada, and the formation of a new country.

Mr. Carbert, one of the accused charged with conspiracy to commit murder against the RCMP, posted often about conspiracy theories, and expressed a willingness to die for those beliefs.

”I will die fighting for what I believe is right and I mean this,” Mr. Carbert wrote in October.

Protesters are now barred from taking children to illegal assemblies, officials warn

Children's Aid Society of Ottawa warns parents of 'potential police action'

Government officials are warning parents who bring children to illegal assemblies that they could face massive fines or jail time under new federal measures aimed at stopping the ongoing occupation of downtown Ottawa.

At the start of the week, the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act for the first time since its passage in 1988, giving it new powers.

Officials who spoke to reporters Wednesday morning on background said they couldn't say when life will return to normal in Ottawa.

But an official said new measures banning travel to certain protected areas and prohibiting participants from bringing minors to unlawful assemblies could change things on the ground as Ottawa enters its 20th day of occupation.

On Wednesday, police began handing out notices to protesters entrenched in the downtown warning them that they "must leave the area now."

"Anyone blocking streets, or assisting others in blocking streets, are committing a criminal offence and you may be arrested," the notice said.

The Children's Aid Society of Ottawa put out a statement Wednesday urging parents at the demonstration to make alternate care arrangements "should they become unable to care for their children following potential police action."

"CASO has a mandate to protect a child when their parent becomes unavailable to exercise their custodial rights over the child and the parent has not made adequate provision for the child's care and custody," said the statement.

"If parents and children are separated following police efforts in ending the demonstration in the downtown core, CASO will work to reunite families as soon as possible."

The new measures prohibit public assemblies that disrupt the movement of people, goods and trade, or that support the "threat or use of acts of serious violence against persons or property."

 

The measures define the protected areas where protesters cannot go as Parliament Hill and the parliamentary precinct, hospitals, airports, trade corridors, bridges and the area around infrastructure for water, gas, sanitation and telecommunication utilities.

The protected areas also include official government residences, government buildings and defence buildings, war monuments and cenotaphs.

In declaring a national emergency, the government cited what it called "threats to the security of Canada" that "may include the threat or use of acts of serious violence against persons or property for the purpose of achieving a political or ideological objective."
