Ukraine’s Central Election Commission has recognized leader of the ultra-nationalist Right Sector, Dmytro Yarosh, an elected person in the country’s parliament at the commission’s meeting Thursday.
Based on the Central Election Commission, Yarosh won in a single-member electoral district in the Dnipropetrovsk region with 30.27 percent of votes.
Yarosh ran for presidency in May, however, gaining significantly less than 1 percent of votes. At the request of the Russian authorities the first choice of the Ukrainian nationalists was contained in the Interpol wanted list for inciting terrorist activities.
Ukraine held early parliamentary elections on October 26. Ukrainians visited the polls to vote for 423 members of parliament — 225 of these from party lists and 198 in single-candidate constituencies. The People’s Front party headed by Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Petro Poroshenko Bloc garnered 22.22 and 21.82 percent of the votes respectively.
Members of the Right Sector movement were those types of, who clashed with police and seized administrative buildings in Ukraine in January, ahead of the February 22 government coup. Moscow has repeatedly called on Kiev to disarm the group.
Since the Economic & Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC came into existence in 2003, an overall total of 11 billion dollars has been recovered.
This is disclosed by the Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren yesterday. He also stated that the commission handled many cases involving advanced fee fraud (419), money laundering, contract scam, internet fraud and has recorded over 100 convictions.
The EFCC Spokesman made the comment while speaking at the Forum of Spokespersons of Security and Response Agencies organised by the I-Nigeria Initiative led by Mrs. Ada Apiaffi, in Abuja yesterday, November 5th.
President Vladimir Putin on Thursday discussed with members of Russia’s Security Council a sharp deterioration of the situation in eastern Ukraine caught in a standoff between Kiev-led forces and Donbas militia.
Authorities in self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk republics have reported Kiev’s increased military activity on the separation line involving the warring sides in recent days in a critical breach of the Minsk ceasefire agreements.
“The participants of the meeting discussed domestic social and economic issues, as well as international affairs, especially the deterioration of the situation in Donbas in light of numerous violations of the ceasefire regime by Ukrainian government troops,” Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said
The conditions for delivery of French-built Mistral-class helicopter carriers to Russia haven’t been met, AFP reported Thursday citing French Prime Minister Manuel Valls.
“You know the French stand [on Mistral issue]. Today the conditions have not been met for their [warships] delivery to Russia,” Valls said at a news conference in Belgrade.
Russia and France signed a 1.2 billion euro ($1.5 billion) deal for the delivery of two Mistral-class warships in June 2011. The initial vessel, the Vladivostok, is expected in Russia by the conclusion of 2014. The 2nd ship, the Sevastopol, is meant to reach in 2015.
However, the offer has been in danger considering that the West began imposing economic sanctions on Russia due to the alleged involvement in the Ukrainian conflict. French President Francois Hollande said in September France could suspend the deliveries of the ships to Russia.
A high-ranking Russian defense industry source said earlier on Thursday that Moscow was ready to attend before end of 2014 to finalize the transfer of the initial ship.
Airbus has announced a preliminary contract to provide the China Aircraft Leasing Company (CALC) with 100 A320 airplanes, in a package worth around $10.2 billion.
“When a leading leasing company, CALC, serving customers in the world’s fastest growing, dynamic aviation market, orders more of our popular A320 Family aircraft, we take that as a strong signal of the continuing long-term success of our best-selling product line,” said Airbus Customers COO John Leahy in a media release the French manufacturer released today.
The offer is for three different types of Airbus planes, and brings the full total quantity of Airbus planes delivered or slated for delivery to CALC to 140. The newest batch of 100 includes 74 A320neo, 16 A320ceo and 10 A321ceo planes.
The A320neo (new engine option), is probably the most modern version of the aircraft, which boasts fuel savings of 20 percent per seat set alongside the ceo (current engine option) version. The plane is among the fastest-ever selling lines of aircraft, with Airbus having already received 3,257 orders from 60 customers at the time of August 2014.
The brand new plane completed its first test flight on September 25 in 2010, and is anticipated to enter into service for initially with Qatar Airways in the last quarter of 2015, following a 3,000 hour flight test program.
The short to medium-range narrow-body A320ceo planes, which has seat from 150 to 180 passengers, are a choice of passenger air travel; it first flew in 1987. The bigger A321ceo can seat 185 to 220 passengers, and made its first flight in 1993.
The order from China reflects increasing demand from Asia, the fastest-growing airplane market. In 2009 Airbus established an assembly facility in Tianjin, China, its first outside Europe. The business even offers European assembly plants in Hamburg and Toulouse, and has plans to open a brand new production facility in Alabama in 2015.
Economic growth in Asia is spurring greater demand for air travel, with figures from the International Air Transport Association showing it’d the largest year on year escalation in passenger traffic in comparison to other regions. The top of aircraft trading at CALC, Jens Dunker, told Bloomberg that global demand can also be surging.
“Airlines are now prepared to wait six to eight years for an aircraft. Some 80 percent of current-generation planes need to be replaced by new aircraft in the coming years.”
The announcement follows CALC’s July listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange, which makes it the very first plane leasing company to do so. The Wall Street Journal reported that the organization was seeking to boost funds with the goal of doubling its fleet to 64 by the end of 2016. Their Chief Executive Mike Poon told the paper that along with the requirement to replace older aircraft in Europe, a proliferation of budget carriers in Asia was driving the market.
