Polit.ru offers your attention the five news of the day. The selection included the three most read news, one news selected by the editorial office, and the most unusual, in our opinion, news today.

1. Talyavini will hold planned meetings of the contact group

The special representative of the OSCE in the contact group to resolve the situation in the Donbass Haydi Taglinini, whose resigned was put on June 6, plans to hold the group’s meetings planned on June 16 and 23. Last Saturday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Switzerland and the OSCE confirmed that Talyavini wants to complete his current powers. Some observers began to associate this decision with difficulties in the Minsk agreements, one of the central figures of which it was.

Editor comment: Heidi Taglivini is still refusing to comment on his resignation. RIA Novosti, citing a competent source, reports that the reason why the Swiss diplomat will leave his post is the low agreement of the parties, which nullifies all attempts to achieve the conflict resolving. On her current post in the OSCE, she was appointed June 8, 2014 by the head of Swiss diplomacy, Didier Burkhalter. In January, the new chairman of the OSCE, the Foreign Minister of Serbia Ivitsa Dachich extended the authority of Taliavini, but even then rumors about her possible resignation went. It was believed that Taglivini was one of the few who are able to negotiate without prejudice. She accepted important assistance in the implementation of the Minsk agreements. The representative of Ukraine in the tripartite contact group Leonid Kuchma expressed regrets regarding the resignation of the Swiss diplomat. A high appreciation of her work was given in the DPR.

2. DPR intelligence intercepted the reports of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine about the Armed Forces

Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic presented what she considers evidence of a large number of deaths of the Ukrainian military due to the inability to handle personal weapons. The documents called intercepted protocols for the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Donetsk region, the four “self -arrows” reported as a result of careless handling of machine guns.

Editor's comment: Self -shot - intentional self -mutilation to avoid military service. Although often auto-wiring occur due to improper handling of weapons, less often due to its malfunction. Self -shoots acquired a mass character during the First World War. For those who fell completely in spirit or succumbed to panic, it cost nothing to make their palm, it was better to remain without a hand than without a head. The military leadership of the Russian army for intentional self -mutilation introduced a cruel punishment - the death penalty or a link.
