The Russian President was denied the right to interpret the Constitution of Ukraine. 

The winner of the presidential elections in Ukraine Petro Poroshenko thinks that the Russian President Vladimir Putin has no right to call Victor Yanukovych the acting President of Ukraine citing the Ukrainian Constitution.

He said this in a conversation with a correspondent of the Russian “Kommersant” Andrey Kolesnikov.

To the remark that Putin has said numerous times that there are no formal grounds to consider Yanukovych an illegitimate President, Poroshenko replied: “This is the opinion of citizen Putin.”

“If someone thinks that there is something wrong in the country, let the go to the Constitutional Court.

The trending topics in Ukraine’s informational space are the presidential elections and the events in the East of Ukraine. 

Henceforth the topic of European integration is out of the spotlight. 

However, it is not surprising that it could become the premise for informational and economical victory of Ukraine in the Russian-Ukrainian war and the exit from the political and economical crisis.

Lomonos who,  in performance of their duties, committed unlawful acts degrading human dignity and committed violence and torture against Mykhaylo Havryliuk during the events of Euromaidan. The case resonated widely after a video of the brutal treatment of Havryliuk was made public.

Reading between lines, the case materials reveal an impressive ability to forgive.

The so-called acting head of the Crimea Sergey Aksionov admitted that the tourist flow to the peninsula is much lower than “the optimal level.” The head of the occupational government of the Crimea reported this to the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev. According to Aksionov, the Crimea occupied by Russia, can accept 16-20 thousand tourists daily on various modes of transportation, while the optimal tourist flow has to be several times bigger than the current one.

“We have enough power to accept arrivals so far, between 16 and 20 thousand passengers daily, or at least twice as much if necessary,” reported Aksionov to the Moscow protectors.

According to the head of the Crimean separatists, the issue of logistics and delivery of tourists to the peninsula is “a major one,” as the main mode of transportation for the arrival of the holidaymakers is the railway, using which up…
