Belarus opposition figures say they will soon return from Ukraine to ‘ destabilize regime ’ According to Anton Rodnenkov , @ @ @ @ @ , they are planning to head to Lithuania and Poland to work from there

MOSCOW, September 11. /TASS/. Other countries should not tell Russia what investigative actions to take in relation to the alleged poisoning of blogger Alexei Navalny, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday.
"In fact, an inquiry is underway in the form of what lawyers call a pre-investigation probe. Our agencies are looking into this incident. And we don’t like it when other countries tell us what legal steps to take, when and based on what," he said, commenting on a demand made by the British and Belgian representatives at a UN Security Council meeting that Russia conduct a fair investigation into the Navalny incident.
Russian law enforcement agencies may send additional requests to Germany in relation to the alleged poisoning of the blogger, the spokesman informed. "We are in contact on all pressing issues, including the investigation into the Berlin patient. We are waiting for a response to our request. We don’t rule out that other law enforcement agencies that are involved in a pre-investigation probe will send additional requests," he said.
The Kremlin spokesman explained that from the judicial standpoint, Russia could not turn the probe into a criminal investigation "based on the results of tests conducted in a German laboratory, especially in a military one."
When commenting on reports that Navalny’s representatives had asked for a criminal case to be opened over the incident, Peskov was doubtful that statements by the patient’s lawyers were reason enough to do it. He reiterated that a probe was underway.
According to the Kremlin spokesman, Russian President Vladimir Putin does not yet have plans to hold a telephone conversation with German Chancellor Angela Merkel to discuss the Navalny incident.

MOSCOW, September 11. /TASS/. The more the European Union follows its policy of sanctions against Russia, the farther it drives itself into a dead end, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a news briefing on Friday.
"We regard this step as another missed chance to get out of the dead end in which the EU has driven itself by linking the future of relations with our country with the situation in Ukraine. The problem of restrictive measures stems directly from the absolutely destructive policy, chosen by the bureaucrats in Brussels and European structures, of pushing ahead with the accusatory rhetoric towards our country," she said.
