20220417             The Russian Armed Forces offer the militants from the nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries blocked in Mariupol to end hostilities and lay down arms from 06:00 Moscow time on Sunday, April 17, their lives will be spared, Mikhail Mizintsev, chief of Russia’s National Defense Management Center, said on Saturday.
20220417             "Given the catastrophic situation at the Azovstal iron and steel works, and out of purely humane principles, the Russian Armed Forces offer the militants from nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries to end hostilities and lay down arms from 06:00 Moscow time on April 17, 2022.
20220417             The lives of all those who lay down their arms will be spared," the statement said.
20220417             The subject matter of radio communications of units of nationalists and mercenaries blocked at Azovstal testifies to their hopeless situation.
20220417             They demand that the official Kiev give them permission to surrender, but in reply they are threatened with executions, Mikhail Mizintsev stressed.
20220417             "Within April 16, 2022, a sharp increase was recorded in the intensity of radio communications of militants from nationalist units and foreign mercenaries blocked in Mariupol at the Azovstal metallurgical plant," he reported".
20220417             The content of radio interceptions (there were 367 of them alone in the past 24 hours) indicates that the militants offering resistance are in a hopeless situation, practically without food and water.
20220417             They urge permission to lay down arms and surrender from the Kiev authorities.
20220417             Meanwhile, representatives of the Kiev authorities categorically forbid them to do this and threaten with subsequent executions under the ‘wartime’ conditions," the statement said.

20220417             Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin on Sunday said Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky wants to buy time by expressing readiness for talks while also seeking help from NATO.
20220417             Volodin was reacting to Zelensky’s statement that Ukraine is ready to discuss abandoning its bid to join NATO and the status of Crimea with Russia, but not until Moscow halts hostilities and withdraws its troops.
20220417             "He said the same before the talks in Turkey when our troops were near Kiev," Volodin said on Telegram".
20220417             Russia reduced activity in that area and pulled out troops.
20220417             And then there were the Bucha staging and other provocations".
20220417             Kiev then "gave up the commitments it had accepted".
20220417             "The same scenario is on the table again," the speaker said".
20220417             The reason is obvious.
20220417             "If Zelensky cares about the people of Ukraine, he should immediately make the following decisions," Volodin said".
20220417             First, pull troops from the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics.
20220417             Second, put it down in an agreement that Ukraine commits to recognize Crimea and adopt a non-bloc status and de-Nazify and demilitarize the country".
20220417             "There can be no other way about it," the speaker said.

20220417             Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree to boost the export quotas for fertilizers until May 31, the cabinet said on its website on Sunday.
20220417             "Current export quotas for Russian fertilizer producers have been temporarily increased by almost 700,000 tons," the cabinet said in a statement".
20220417             Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin has signed an order to that effect".
20220417             The export quota for nitrogen fertilizers has been increased by 231,000 tons to about 5.7 million tons, according to the government website.
20220417             The export quota for compound fertilizers has been increased by 466,000 tons and now stands at about 5.6 million tons.
20220417             Until May 31, quotas do not apply to the supply of fertilizers to the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
20220417             The measure is necessary to support fertilizer producers who face the risk of downtime due to low demand in the domestic market and the sanctions by unfriendly states, according to the statement.

20220417             Russia’s foreign payments default may entail hyperinflation in Europe and its own default, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said on Sunday.
20220417             "Russia’s default may entail Europe’s default, both moral and, quite possibly, tangible," he wrote on his Telegram channel, as, in his words, the European Union’s financial system is not very stable and people are losing confidence.
20220417             Moreover, the European Union’s authorities should expect "a strong gratitude from rank and file Europeans for the hyperinflation that cannot be blamed on vile Russians, for the lack of elementary foods in shops and for the influx of refugees, which will provoke a wave of force crimes," he wrote".
20220417             In this case, the people in Brussels will have to change their rhetoric.
20220417             Otherwise, stinky fires of tyres will be burning in the streets of European cities in the glory of Maidan heroes".

20220417             Russia is concerned about the involvement of NATO’s non-Arctic states in the alliance’s military activity in northern areas and notes risks of unintentional clashes with the alliance’ forces in the Arctic, Russian Foreign Ministry’s Ambassador-at-Large Nikolay Korchunov told TASS.
20220417             "The internationalization of the Alliance's military activities in high latitudes, in which non-Arctic NATO states are involved, can’t fail to cause concern," said the diplomat, who is also Chairman of the Senior Officials Committee at the Arctic Council".
20220417             This raises the risk of unintentional incidents, which, in addition to security risks, can also cause serious damage to the fragile Arctic ecosystem".
20220417             NATO’s military exercises in the north of Norway don’t help security in the Arctic, Korchunov said".
20220417             The recently increased activity of NATO in the Arctic is a matter of concern," he said".
20220417             Recently, another large-scale military exercise of the alliance took place in the north of Norway, which, in our opinion, does not contribute to ensuring security in the region".
20220417             "Possible attempts at establishing, in the current situation, some alterative cooperation structures in the Arctic will only lead to creating division line and will intensify centrifugal tendencies, which will harm the collective principles we have been traditionally guided when making decisions in the Arctic region,"

20220417             Gabriel verteidigt Steinmeier und attackiert Melnyk
20220417             Der ehemalige Bundesaußenminister Sigmar Gabriel (SPD) hat Kritik an Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier aus der Ukraine zurückgewiesen und den ukrainischen Botschafter Andrij Melnyk scharf angegriffen.
20220417             Steinmeier habe in seinem früheren Amt als Außenminister gemeinsam mit der damaligen Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) "mehr als alle anderen in Europa" dafür getan, die Ukraine zu unterstützen, schrieb Gabriel in einem Gastbeitrag für den "Spiegel".
20220417             Botschafter Melnyk hatte Steinmeier in einem Interview unter anderem vorgeworfen, "seit Jahrzehnten ein Spinnennetz der Kontakte mit Russland geknüpft" zu haben".
20220417             Spinnennetze dienen bekanntlich dem Fang und der anschließenden Verwertung der Beute",
20220417             schrieb dazu Gabriel".
20220417             Auf den Punkt gebracht insinuiert dieser Vergleich, dass der frühere Kanzleramts- und Außenminister die Interessenvertretung Russlands in Deutschland mitorganisiert habe.
20220417             Das ist wahrheitswidrig und bösartig".

20220417             Serbia continues flights to Russia out of principle despite fake bomb threats - Vucic
20220417             The fake bomb threat coming from Ukraine every day, Serbian President said
20220417             "As for those who wants us to cut relations with Russia at any cost, to cancel the flights… Do you think that we make these flights for profit?
20220417             There is none," he noted".
20220417             Today, Air Serbia told that today was the first time that it did not receive a bomb threat; however, when the plane was somewhere over Slovakia, a bomb threat came again, but the pilot continued the flight, because we know that these threats are fake.
20220417             Foreign agencies are doing this, and they do it from within two states - one EU country and Ukraine - and they do it all the time.
20220417             There is no profit today, we continue the flights literally out of principle, because we want to show that we are a free country and we make our own decision.
20220417             Do not decide for us when to cancel flights".
20220417             The fake threats were sent from Ukraine and Poland.
