For the liberation of the regional centers of Donetsk and Lugansk, currently under the control of illegal armed formations, a large amount of preparatory work is needed.

He stressed that Donetsk and Lugansk are "not fortresses".

"These are industrial cities, on the outskirts of which there are areas where residents live in the private sector, these areas are also considered Donetsk and now the main ATU forces, including territorial battalions, have approached these areas," the NSDC representative said.

At the same time he noted that this does not mean the beginning of the assault.

UPD: 05/08/2014 Yanukovych demands that European Court of Justice recognize him as legitimate

Ex-President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych demands in the EU Court to cancel the sanctions and to recognize his removal from office illegally.

This follows from the text of his lawsuit in the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg, promulgated on Monday, August 4, in the official journal of the EU, writes LB.ua

So, Yanukovych demands to cancel the sanctions of the European Union imposed on him on March 5, which provide for the freezing of accounts in community banks. The ex-president considers sanctions sanction the EU for its rejection of the European course of Ukraine.

Also in the lawsuit, Yanukovych protests against the fact that he is called "ex-president" in the sanctions decision, and calls himself a "legitimate" and "democratically elected" president of Ukraine (the suit is dated May 15), and the transitional government is "illegal." The plaintiff claims that by imposing sanctions against him, the European Union "tried to please" the transitional government so that it would agree to a closer relationship with the EU.

In addition, Yanukovych believes that the blocking of his assets is "a violation of property rights guaranteed by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union."

Similar suits were filed by both Yanukovych's sons Viktor and Alexander.

Except for Sergei Kurchenko and the Yanukovych family in the EU Court against the freezing of accounts, former Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and his son-deputy Aleksey, former Prosecutor General Viktor Pshonka and his son-deputy Artem, and also the Klyuev brothers, Andrei Portnov, the former deputy prime minister Sergei Arbuzov and Minister of Revenue and fees Alexander Klimenko.

UPD: 05/08/2014 The brave guard of the hotel in Turkey "pounced with fists" on "a group of tourists from Russia consisting of 14 men of athletic build." VIDEO

In the Turkish resort town of Konakli in one of the hotels there was a massive fight between Russian tourists and the protection of the hotel.

The brawl and debauchery of tourists arose due to the fact that they were allegedly forced to wait for settling in the rooms for several hours, according to the "Business Quarter".

The fight was stopped only after the arrival of the police, which proposed to resolve the conflict by peace and pay the hotel compensation for the damaged property.

The hotel management charged the guests for the damaged property to almost 40 thousand rubles, NTV reports.

In the meantime, tourists sought support from the travel agency, which organized the trip, but they could not figure out who was to blame for the conflict. Currently, they are being withdrawn for studying the recording of CCTV cameras. "The cameraman went to the place to sort out everything, they decided everything, the hotel forgave them, they rest." According to my request, the cameras are seized and will look at who is right, who started and who provoked it, "said PR director of the tourist operator Ksenia Markovchina.

Nevertheless, the arguments of Russian tourists sound very "believable" - from their words the guard first attacked with fists on "a group of tourists in the composition of 14 men of athletic build."

"They threaten, threaten with fines and sanctions." They say the computer was smashed, the furniture, they say, who will pay? The heads have punched four tourists. Who will pay us for this? " - said a tourist from Russia.

Nevertheless, the keys to the rooms have been received by tourists, they are settled and are afraid to leave. According to them, the guards threatened to take revenge. Also, the Russians insist that the fight was started by the hotel guards, so they are not going to pay for the broken furniture. Moreover, the tourists said that they themselves are going to demand compensation from the hotel for the spoiled rest.

In the opinion of the staff of the supervisory authority, the interview contains calls for mass riots, for carrying out extremist activities or for participating in mass events conducted in violation of the procedure established by law.

"In a good way, for such publications, we can immediately block the resource.If we follow this path, we can block the site of the Russian BBC service entirely on the territory of our country," a source close to Roskomnadzor shared with Izvestia.
