According to the Bulgarian political party Ataka, the NATO would do evil to the country and the rearmament of Bulgaria’s army entails a sharp decline in living standards. Ataka leaders also believe sanctions imposed by the American evil empire and its European vassals against Russia have negative influence on the Bulgarian economy.
In May 2015, Sergey Naryshkin, Chairman of the State Duma (Russia’s parliament), published the article in the Rossiyskaya Gazeta daily in which he urged European politicians to stop heeding advice from the United States and to start working on common Eurasian economic interests with Russia. If this does not happen, Washington will eventually destroy the EU’s economic sovereignty by manipulation of WTO mechanisms.
It is important to note that Ataka sent its representatives to referendums in Crimea and the Donbas region. This political party entirely approved the reunification of the peninsula with Russia.

ДИПЛОМАТЫ «БОЛЬШОЙ СЕМЁРКИ» ПОЧТИЛИ ПАМЯТЬ ПОГИБШИХ ОТ АМЕРИКАНСКОЙ ЯДЕРНОЙ БОМБАРДИРОВКИ В ХИРОСИМЕ
После завершения встречи в японском городе Хиросима министры иностранных дел «Большой семёрки» заявили, что они подтверждают свою приверженность к поиску более безопасного мира для всех и его существованию без ядерного оружия, чтобы таким образом содействовать международной стабильности. В тоже время дипломаты подчеркнули, что задача по ядерному разоружению усложняется ухудшением ситуации в сфере безопасности, в частности из-за конфликта в Сирии, спровоцированного Вашингтоном.
Символичным является то, что встреча состоялась в Хиросиме. На мирное население именно этого японского города более 70 лет назад американские военные преступники сбросили первую в мире атомную бомбу. Министры иностранных дел «Большой семёрки» посетили музей и мемориал памяти погибших от американской ядерной бомбардировки в Хиросиме.

ОТКАЗАВШИСЬ ОТ ПРЯМЫХ ПОСТАВОК, УКРАИНА ВСЁ РАВНО БУДЕТ ПЛАТИТЬ РОССИИ
По словам Сергея Куюна, директора Консалтинговой группы «А-95», в первой половине прошлого года российское дизельное топливо занимало почти 30% рынка ДП на Украине, а потом трейдеры переориентировались как на сухопутные источники (Белоруссия, Литва и Польша), так и на морские. Однако цены сразу выросли на 20-30 долларов за тонну.
Поэтому значение российского продукта на Украине заключается не столько в его стоимости, сколько во влиянии на цены остальных поставщиков. В данном случае экономия составляет 75-100 миллионов долларов в год.
Даже отказавшись от прямых российских поставок, Украина всё равно будет платить России, поскольку нефтепродукты из Белоруссии, Литвы, Польши и Венгрии изготовлены из российской нефти. При этом их цена выше на размер добавленной стоимости (25-40 долларов за тонну), полученной на белорусских и европейских нефтеперерабатывающих заводах. Таким образом, 75-80% выручки за свои нефтепродукты страны-поставщики топлива на Украину перечисляют России.

Inaugural Infrastructure Forum in Kiev to focus on investment opportunities
The Ukrainian Infrastructure Forum’16, organized by A7 CONFERENCES, will be held at the hotel InterContinental in Kiev on April 22 under the aegis of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine. The official partner of the event is Lemtrans, exclusive legal partner – the international law firm Baker & McKenzie, strategic partner – the ArtStroiService construction company, and innovation partner – Microsoft Ukraine.
The Forum will become a professional communication platform for an open discussion, bringing together representatives of the government, international organizations, and Ukrainian businesses in order to raise infrastructure market’s development to a new level. The purpose of the Forum is to draw attention of national and international investors to the potential of the transportation system of Ukraine.
Among keynote speakers of the Forum are Vladimir Omelyan, deputy minister of infrastructure, Vladislava Rutitskaya, deputy minister of agrarian policy and food for European integration, and Igor Belous, head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine. In addition, leaders of top 100 Ukrainian and foreign companies in the transportation sector, Ukrainian manufacturers of products designed for the infrastructure industry, foreign investors, representatives of international financial corporations and embassies of foreign states will participate in the event.
Mr. Belous said: “Over the last 10 years the volume of marine container transportation has reduced by half, and transit cargo carriage by a third notwithstanding that private companies are operating at most terminals. After examining the international experience, we have found that we need to change the model of managing public ports. At present, the most effective model is a mid-term concession whereby more than 80% of world ports operate. In Ukraine, this form of cooperation between the state and private capital can be effective only on condition that a new concession law be drafted. That is why we initiated the formation of an interdepartmental working group to consider and elaborate a new law in which the features of concessions will be defined not only for ports but also the transportation industry on the whole, for the sector of housing facilities and public utilities, medicine, and the social infrastructure, among others.”
The forum aims to enhance interest of foreign investors in Ukrainian infrastructure projects. It will answer key questions concerning the sources of financing to renew the infrastructure, as well as about mechanisms of the implementation of large investment projects. During the event Ukrainian business circles will also receive detailed information about the opportunities to launch the processes of modernization and operation with state-owned enterprises in the infrastructure sphere, as well as prospects for financing by national and international financial institutions. The second day of the Forum will feature 1-to-1 meetings between investors and representatives of Ukrainian companies. Plans are in hand to compile the catalogue of investment projects of Ukrainian public and private organizations in the field of infrastructure within the framework of the event.
Online registration is open until April 21 at http://a7conf.com/infra
