How Firtash is connected with Russian mafia and why he wasn't extradited to the USA

🇨🇭Dmitry Firtash was arrested in Vienna at US request in 2014, after which a bail of €125 million was paid for him by Russian billionaire, partner of criminal Alisher Usmanov Vasily Anisimov, a resident of #Switzerland.

🇦🇹One of Firtash's lawyers was Dieter Bömderfer, ex-Minister of Justice of #Austria himself.

❗️🇺🇸🇦🇹🇭🇺Gazprom partner Dmitry Firtash came to the attention of law enforcement agencies in the #US, #Austria and #Hungary back in the early 2000s in connection with suspicions of involvement in the criminal group of Mogilevich.

🇺🇸Mogilevich was imprisoned twice in the USSR in the 70s, including for fraud, then he began to develop business in the USA: in 1984, his emissary David Bogatin bought five condominiums in Trump Tower, they were seized by a court verdict in 1987 for laundering from criminal activity. You can read more about this here.

🇭🇺🇷🇺🇨🇿🇺🇸🇨🇦Since 1989, Mogilevich lived in Budapest, from where he ruled an international criminal 'empire' that extended to #Russia, the #Czech_Republic, the #US, #Canada and other countries.
During privatization, he seized a weapons factory in #Hungary.
From 1992 to 1996, Mogilevich was suspected in US of drug trafficking, gold smuggling, extortion, money laundering, fraud, smuggling of weapons, military equipment, cultural property from Russia and other countries, including smuggling military equipment of the "Western Group of Forces" in East #Germany 🇩🇪
According to the FBI, he was one of the seven leaders of the Solntsevskaya group, where he was responsible for money laundering.

🇭🇺🇷🇺In 1999, Mogilevich relocated from Hungary to Moscow, taking with him a suitcase of compromising material on Orban.

▪️Frauds with gas looked in the following way: Gazprom, instead of re-exporting Turkmen gas to Ukraine on its own, for some reason ceded the rights to export gas to the company EuralTransGas (ETG), registered in the Hungarian village of Chabdy. Andras Knopp, who previously headed the Hungarian branch of Gazprom, was listed as the president in this murky organization.

‼️🇭🇺🇦🇹This [Hungarian] company was 25% owned by the Viennese company DEG (full name D.E.G Handels - und Unternehmensberatungsgesellschaft m.b.H).
From the full extract of ETG from the commercial register of Hungary, it follows that D.E.G was located at the same address as Firtash's actual business — Group DF International - Löwelstr. 12/2/9 in Vienna.

🇭🇺🇬🇧Another co-owner of ETG was Atlantic Caspian Resources, led by Robert Shetler-Jones of London, also an active member of the Mogilevich gang. Today he is officially on the board of directors of Firtash's DF Group.

🇨🇾🇷🇺At ETG, Mogilevich and Firtash also collaborated with the Tambovskaya criminal gang. The co-owners of ETG were the Cypriot offshore companies Dema Trustees and Dema Nominees, who own a stake in the St. Petersburg Oil Terminal. At the same time, the real beneficiaries of the terminal were St. Petersburg criminal authorities Ilya Traber, Sergey Vasiliev and their junior partner Dmitry Skigin ...

🇹🇲🇷🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺Later, Firtash-Mogilevich's companies were developing the same scheme for the re-export of #Turkmen gas through another pad — RosUkrEnergo, created by Moscow for gas transit to the #EU countries. It was with this company that Gazprom concluded deals from 2005 to 2014.

💥🇷🇺💥One of the managers of RosUkrEnergo since 2004 has been former ex-President Medvedev's classmate Konstantin Chuichenko, now Deputy Prime Minister of Russia — and this is one of the many reasons why the FBI and NYT "did not find" Firtash's connection with Mogilevich ...😁

⚠️🇦🇹Another reason is that the co-founder of RosUkrEnergo together with Firtash was a very respectable Austrian Raiffeisen Bank! Which, in theory, was supposed to first check what kind of shit he climbs into ...
It was Raiffeisen who later agreed with the "FBI representative" to close the "Firtash case."

🇵🇱🇩🇪 The Polish section of Druzhba supplies oil to two refineries in Poland - in Plock ("Orlen") and Gdansk ("Lotos"), as well as to two refineries in Germany

❗️PERN automation systems detected a leak from a pipe with a diameter of 80 cm at a pressure of 30 atmospheres about 70 kilometers from Plock

▪️Spilled oil at the site of damage is collected in three tanks, oil pumping is stopped
▪️locals have reported a noticeable smell of gas in the area

🤷🏻‍♂️The leak at the Druzhba pipeline was due to "accidental damage," Mateusz Berger, the Polish government's commissioner for strategic energy infrastructure, told Reuters.
So far, there is no reason to believe that this is a sabotage.
At this point the exact causes of the leak were unknown.

P.S. 🇷🇺🇧🇾 Russian military tg channels express fears that Polish troops are preparing to enter the territory of Western Ukraine in the event that the Belarusian army enters the war.

❗️How many weapons do Western countries have - and how many of these weapons were transferred to 🇺🇦 #Ukraine during the 8 months of the war?
#NATO transferred 1.4-3.6% of its heavy weapons systems to Ukraine. The highest percentage is for artillery - about 3.6%.
🇺🇸 Armored vehicles account for 1.4% - this is only 0.8% of all armored vehicles that the #US has.
🇨🇿🇬🇧 Most of the armored vehicles were transferred by the #Czech_Republic; #UK is the leader in the supply of artillery.

❗️Сколько оружия есть у западных стран - и сколько из этого оружия было передано Украине за 8 месяцев войны
#НАТО передало Украине от 1,4% до 3,6% своих систем тяжелого вооружения. Самый высокий процент приходится на артиллерию — около 3,6%.
🇺🇸 На бронетехнику приходится 1,4% - это всего лишь 0,8% всей бронетехники, которая есть у #США.
🇨🇿🇬🇧 Больше всех бронетехники передала #Чехия; по поставкам артиллерии лидирует #Великобритания.

🇳🇱🇺🇸🇨🇿🤝🇺🇦 The Min of Defense of the #Netherlands, together with the #US and the #Czech_Republic, will deliver 90 modernized T-72 tanks to #Ukraine
The total cost of the package is 120 million euros, of which 45 million euros are for the T-72.

🇪🇺🇭🇺❌🇺🇦 Looks like it was a day of shitty news: after the #US, #Europe has traditionally merged too
#EU Commissioner for Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi (#Hungary) said that Ukraine's accession to the EU could take "more than a year or two years."
🇧🇬🇨🇿🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹🇵🇱🇸🇰🇸🇮🤝🇺🇦 At the same time, 8 Eastern European countries — #Bulgaria, the #Czech_Republic, #Estonia, #Latvia, #Lithuania, #Poland, #Slovakia, and #Slovenia — signed a letter back in February stating that #Ukraine "deserves receiving an immediate EU accession perspective."

🇷🇺 Seeing the cowardice of #NATO and the soft-bodied of Biden administration, the Kremlin orcs, quite expectedly, have tightened their rhetoric and now again promise not only to go through the whole of Europe with an iron boot, but also to use nuclear weapons.

🇨🇿 Chief of the Czech General Staff Karel Rzeka said the #Czech_Republic is preparing for war.
“If a conflict starts between Russia and NATO, the Czech army will be an active participant from the first minutes. The potential for war escalation in Ukraine continues to grow. Even the most serious scenarios cannot be ruled out.”
“A number of weapons systems that are destroying Ukraine today, will reach and the Czech territory, the situation is very serious.”

🇩🇪 #Germany also announced the likelihood of a direct clash with #Russia yesterday.

🇺🇸 This is exactly what Sullivan and Burns wanted, curtseying Putin and persuading him to continue the war❓

⚡️⚡️🇺🇦🩸 At least six Ukrainian embassies and consulates in different countries received bloody packages with animal eyes, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko said.

🇭🇺🇳🇱🇵🇱🇭🇷🇮🇹🇨🇿 Such messages were received by Ukrainian embassies in #Hungary, the #Netherlands, #Poland, #Croatia, #Italy, consulates general in Naples (Italy) and Krakow (Poland), and consulate in Brno (#Czech_Republic).

🇻🇦🇰🇿 In addition, unknown people damaged the entrance to the house of the Ukrainian ambassador in the #Vatican, and the embassy in #Kazakhstan received a message about mining

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry regards this as a well-planned campaign of intimidation

❗️All Ukrainian embassies and consulates have been placed on heightened security measures.

🇺🇦☢️🇷🇺🛢 Moscow expects to receive guarantees for the uninterrupted transit of oil and gas through #Ukraine in exchange for the withdrawal of troops from the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
According to the Kremlin’s plan, nuclear power plants can allegedly be transferred either to Kyiv or the IAEA, sources say
At the same time, Russia "doesn't plan" to completely leave the Zaporozhye region.
🇭🇺🇸🇰🇨🇿🇵🇱🇪🇺 It's very important for the Russian budget to pump and sell oil and gas: the southern branch of the Druzhba pipeline passes through Ukraine, through which Russian oil is delivered to #Hungary, #Slovakia, the #Czech_Republic and #Poland. This is about a third of all Russian oil supplies to #Europe

🇺🇦☢️🇷🇺🛢 Москва рассчитывают получить гарантии бесперебойного транзита нефти и газа через Украину в обмен на вывод войска с Запорожской АЭС.
По плану Кремля, АЭС якобы могут передать либо Киеву, либо МАГАТЭ, сообщают источники
При этом, Россия «не планирует» полностью оставлять Запорожскую область.
🇭🇺🇸🇰🇨🇿🇵🇱🇪🇺 Качать и продавать нефть и газ очень важно для российского бюджета: через Украину проходит южная ветка трубопровода «Дружба», по которому российская нефть поставляется в Венгрию, Словакию, Чехию и Польшу. Это примерно треть всех российских поставок нефти в Европу

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Moscow deploys its non-strategic nuclear weapons to #Belarus
The agreement on its deployment was signed by the Ministers of Defense of Russia and Belarus Sergei Shoigu and Viktor Khrenin. According to the agreement, Belarus is responsible for storage; control and the right to use nuclear weapons remain with Russia.

❗️On Russian state-TV, Kremlin propagandists are already hinting at the possibility of an "accidental explosion", the responsibility for which can be blamed on "a provocation by US" ...
Considering that all broadcasts on Russian TV are tightly controlled by the presidential administration, this is all that's worth knowing about the Kremlin's adequacy.

It's obvious that Russian tactical nuclear weapons on Belarusian soil may become the subject of the next stage of the Kremlin's blackmail over Belarus' entry into the war against #Ukraine.
Lukashenko said that he "doesn't yet know" whether there are already Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus or not, but, according to him, they are "already being delivered."

🇷🇺🚀🇵🇱🇱🇻🇱🇹🇪🇪🇩🇪🇸🇰🇨🇿🇺🇦 Given the range of the Iskanders, Russian missiles deployed in Belarus can threaten almost the entire territory of #Poland, the #Baltic countries and partially #Germany, #Slovakia, the #Czech Republic and Ukraine.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 The U.S. State Department denounced the deployment plan, but said it still "doesn't see" any signs Russia was preparing to use a nuclear weapon.

P.S. And here is the time to recall the repeated warnings of political scientists that Putin could launch a nuclear strike on Poland and one of the Baltic countries before September. In particular, Yuri Felshtinsky stated that "the scenario of a nuclear war in Europe has been agreed with China."
