Councils demanded that the relevant departments develop "response measures" against Ukraine

The Russian Security Council instructed the relevant ministries and departments to develop and propose specific measures against Ukraine. As Vedomosti writes , a source close to the Ministry of Defense reported this. According to another source, the Council of Council has not yet decided on the specific steps that Vladimir Putin and the Foreign Ministry promised to take an attempt by “Ukrainian saboteurs” to organize a series of attacks on “vital infrastructure facilities” in connection with the incident in the Crimea.

A source in the Ministry of Defense noted that the option with the application of powerful response military strikes in Ukraine is not considered. However, according to the interlocutor close to the leadership of the self -proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, Moscow may stop restraining the response of the DPR army in response to artillery shelling from the Ukrainian security forces. According to the interlocutor of the publication, in the spring of 2016, such a deterrence was already weakened after the Ukrainian troops began to capture the neutral lane established by the Minsk agreements.

Andrei Kortunov, the head of the Russian Council for International Affairs, told the newspaper that Russian applications for response measures were addressed to a greater extent to the West than the Ukrainian authorities. “This is a certain lever of influence on the position of the West, if the evidence base is collected. This is an occasion to urge the West to increase pressure on Kyiv, but so far we see that in the West we have already stated about the absence of evidence and expressed distrust,” the expert said.

Last Friday, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev did not exclude a possible rupture of diplomatic municipalities with Ukraine if Moscow does not have other tools to “sink” Kyiv.

“As for the breakdown of diplomatic relations, you know, everything happened in history. Let me remind you that after the known events we had a ruined diplomatic municipality with Georgia,” Medvedev said. “I wouldn’t want it to be so completed, but if there would be no other option to influence the situation, the president can make such a decision.”

“The final decision, of course, is made by the president of the country, who is conducting the foreign policy of our state,” the prime minister emphasized once again.
