Babchenko Monetizes His Fake Death, Asks 50,000 USD For Exclusive Interview
05.06.2018
As Kiev’s official story over the faked murder of Arkady Babchenko from the hands of “Russian intelligence” is collapsing, the “killed” TV channel 112 had attempted to invite Babchenko for an interview. However, the “victim” of the Kremlin’s spies responded by saying that he does not more attend TV shows for free and an exlusive interview with him will cost at least 50,000 USD, better 60,000 USD.
Later, the conversation was confirmed by Babchenko himself. He worte in his Facebook that he’s now facing a complicated period of life. So, if some media outlet wants to make content with him, further claimed that the Russian state-run TV channel promised to pay him for an interview this amount. However, he rejected this suggestion. Babchenko concluded that he’s still ready to sell his interview that the only concern of the new victim of “Russian agression” in Ukraine is how to make money from his fake death.
It looks that the only concern of the new victim of “Russian agression” in Ukraine is how to make money from his fake death.
I'm sure - Mr. Babchenko is an outstanding citizen and a pillar to the Community? When does he get nominated for a Peace Prize?

NATO Ex-Chief: Russia Could Defeat Ukraine in 'Several Days'
It would take Russia just a few days to defeat Ukraine, NATO’s former secretary-general Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in an interview on Wednesday.
"It would take Russian troops several days to overrun Ukraine," Rasmussen told Germany’s Die Welt newspaper.
Ukraine dropped its non-aligned status in 2014, opening the door for potential NATO membership. The following year, President Petro Poroshenko signed a military doctrine stipulating the need to match NATO standards by 2020 and promised a referendum on accession
Despite Kiev’s efforts, NATO officials have repeatedly stressed that the Eastern European nation needed to implement a wide range of reforms before pursuing the Alliance’s membership.
On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin told the Austrian ORF broadcaster that Ukraine’s neutral military status is important for Russia’s security, but it is the Ukrainians, who ultimately have to decide whether the country should become a member of Alliance.
Since the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis in 2014, NATO has been boosting its presents in Eastern Europe citing Russia's alleged interference in Kiev’s internal conflict as justification for their actions.
In turn, Moscow has repeatedly denied the unsubstantiated allegations of involvement in Ukraine, warning that amassing troops and military equipment on its borders is a provocative action that violates past NATO pledges, and can lead to regional and global destabilization.

UKRAINE DOUBLE-TALK: ''We'll beat Russia's superior military with our superior weapons" - Fort Russ
KIEV – Ukraine will “crush” Russia not through the strength of its military personnel, but through its “powerful” high-quality weapons, said Pavel Bukin, head of the Ukrainian military consortium Ukroboronprom.
Responding to the question made by journalist Aleksandr Podobry on whether the country has “powerful weapons” never before seen or used, Bukin replied affirmatively and said that “Ukraine is testing a cruise missile.” However, he did not reveal any details about the new missile.
According to the head of Ukroboronprom, the consortium is trying to “pay attention to projects that cause the most damage to the enemy in the short term.”
“It would be illusory to think that we can crush Russia through the military, so we will crush it through the quality of weaponry,” he said.
In April the Ukrainian construction company Luch presented the first images of the launch of the Ukrainian missile Olkha reaching its target. Russian experts have stated that the Olkha is a variant of the missile for the multiple Smerch rocket launcher still developed in the Soviet Union in the 1970s.
Meanwhile the Ukrainian political party UKROP (Ukrainian Patriots Association) prepared and sent to the government proposals on “the rejection of Russian aggression” in the Sea of Azov.
MPs called on the government to submit to Poroshenko a proposal to sever diplomatic relations with Russia. According to them, economic and cultural ties with Moscow provoke “aggressive” actions towards Ukraine.
The statement notes that the construction of the Crimea Bridge has hampered the work of the Ukrainian ports of Berdyansk and Mariupol and may lead to its closure.
“The impression is made that the Ukrainian authorities do not perceive the threat to the situation in the Sea of Azov region,” said the MPs.
The party also called on diplomats to propose to the UN Security Council the discussion of Russia’s “aggressive policy in the Azov Sea” and the introduction of sanctions against all Russian ports on the Azov and Black Seas.
In addition, the deputies proposed to the government to protect the waters of the Sea of Azov and the Straits of Kerch and carry out their maritime patrolling.
Jun 7, 2018 - NATO BEHOLD: Russia’s Astonishing S-400s in Crimea
NATO BEHOLD: Russia's Astonishing S-400s in Crimea - Fort Russ
In military drills currently being held in Crimea, Russian S-400 Triumph and Pantsir anti-aircraft systems have demonstratively repelled a seaborne attack from a virtual enemy.
After neutralizing their targets, the systems practiced the operational change of their launch positions.
“In the previous launch positions, the gunners installed pneumatic models mimicking the S-400 systems,” the head of Russia’s Southern Military District’s Press Service, Colonel Vadim Astafiev, explained.
In addition, as part of the exercises, virtual enemy ships launched projectiles against Bal and Bastion coastal systems, in response to which these simulated naval targets were attacked by Su-30SM fighters and Su-34 fighter-bombers.
These joint war games involving Russia’s Air Force, Black Sea Fleet, and air defense units have been launched in Crimea under the direction of Colonel-General Aleksandr Dvornikov. Some 6,000 military personnel, plus a hundred airplanes and helicopters, are participating in the maneuvers in Crimea.
Previously it was reported that Russia has decided to strengthen its Crimean anti-aircraft cluster with Pantsir-S1 air defense systems this year.
The Pantsir-S1 airborne and ground-based air defense system is designed to protect civilian and military installations from all air threats at any time and under any weather conditions. The system can also defend against surface and naval threats.
“All of the anti-aircraft missiles from the air and air defense armies in Crimea have been retrofitted with Triumph anti-aircraft missile systems and are expected to provide a Pantsir-S1 air defense systems division,” said Viktor Sevostyanov, commander of the 4th air and air defense arm of the Southern Military District.
Sevostyanov noted that the Triumph systems have already provenly their success in defense operations and providing cover for ships departing out to sea.
These Crimean war games are especially notable for several reasons.
Firstly, the neighboring Black Sea states of Bulgaria, Romania, and Turkey are all NATO members, and therefore could be staging points or participants in any NATO assault on Russia. However, Bulgaria and Turkey have a unique, evolving relationship with Russia which partially depends on Russia’s ability to successfully project a strong alternative for security that discourages these states’ further subservience to US-NATO operations in the region.
Secondly, a number of states around the world, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iran, Turkey, India, and others have expressed interest in or are already holding negotiations on purchasing S-400 systems from Russia. Russia’s showing off of its S-400’s in action in a potential conflict zone with NATO is an impressionable advertisement.
Thirdly, these Crimean war games are also an umpteenth demonstration that Ukraine and its (domestic and foreign) warmongers have no chance of overcoming Russia’s sophisticated defense of the Crimean peninsula which reunified with the Russian Federation following a popular referendum in 2014.
Almost needless to say, Russia’s Crimea-based military exercises are held in close proximity to US and NATO forces, and numerous experts have cited Crimea’s strategic significance as a major drive behind Russia’s integration and prioritization of the peninsula. With such impressive, multi-faceted drills, Russia is demonstrating that Crimea will not only not be surrendered, but is being trained as a major line of defense in any assault on the Russian World.
This is a major hallmark of Russia’s strategy of combining shows of force with offers of cooperation, such as with the advertisement of S-400’s to states who are weary of clinging to the declining US unipolar project’s military hegemony.
