True news from about actions of Russian Federation

Thursday, November, 10, the Russian FSB (Federal Security Service) said that they detained subversive group from the Defense Intelligence Agency of Ukraine in Sevastopol . Saboteurs allegedly had a weapon, explosives and planned to attack military infrastructure utilities of the Crimean Peninsula . Considering that a similar story taken place in August did not bring Moscow special dividends, this time motives are completely incomprehensible, Russian journalist Leonid Radzikhovsky says. In his column for "Apostrophe", he explained why there is no rational motive for Ukraine to organize sabotage in the Crimea, and for Russia - to invent new fake. The story is very strange, absolutely incomprehensible. The case is that the first story took place in August, even in early August. So, after August, September, October - three months ago.

KIEV — Ukraine is refitting and expanding its naval fleet, including repairing its flagship, the frigate "Hetman Sahaydachnyy", to counter a Russian military build-up in the annexed territory of Crimea, the commander of the Ukrainian navy says.

Since then it has fought Russian-backed separatists in the Donbass region in a war that has killed nearly 10,000 people. Before the Russi

BRUSSELS -- The European Union has added six new deputies in Russia's State Duma -- all from Crimea -- to its sanctions list over Russia's seizure and illegal annexation of the Ukrainian territory. The six blacklisted State Duma deputies won their seats in Russia's September parliamentary elections. The EU sanctions have been imposed on individuals and entities that, according to Brussels, are responsible for actions against Ukraine's territorial integrity. Asset freezes and visa bans were first imposed by the EU in March 2014 after Russia illegally annexed Crimea. Those sanctions have been continued and expanded by a series of additional votes by EU officials in Brussels, including the most recent vote in September that has prolonged the sanctions for another six months. The Russian Duma deputies from Crimea will be officially added to the sanctions list on November 9 when their names are published in the EU official journal. That will bring the total
