BERLIN: Germany on Friday lashed out at Washington over new sanctions against Russia that target the planned Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Europe. The new penalties, approved by the US Senate on Thursday, include a paragraph that threatens to penalize European companies that push ahead with energy export programs with Russia. Those include the Nord Stream 2 pipeline which would pump Russian gas under the Baltic Sea directly to Germany. "It is strange that in the sanctioning of Russia's behavior, with regards to the US elections for instance, that the European economy should become a target of American sanctions. That must not happen," said Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert.
MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin lifted a little of the secrecy Thursday around his grandchildren and mockingly offered ex-FBI chief James Comey asylum during his annual televised chat with the Russian people. But the Kremlin strongman appeared rattled when facing tougher questioning from journalists at the end of the four-hour phone-in event, angrily accusing a BBC reporter of supporting jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny. Putin also refused to be drawn on whether he will stand for a fourth term in 2018. During the television show aimed at a domestic audience, Putin insisted the latest US sanctions over alleged election meddling are efforts to "contain Russia". The US Senate voted overwhelmingly to approve further sanctions against Russia on Wednesday. "The United States is not our enemy," Putin said, but he complained of Russia facing sanctions "throughout all of our history" from global partners who fear a "serious competitor". He also jokingly suggested offering political asylum to fired FBI director James Comey – who had been overseeing the bureau's Russia investigation – likening him to fugitive NSA leaker Edward Snowden, who has asylum in Russia.
STRASBOURG: The European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday blasted as discriminatory Russian legislation banning the promotion of homosexuality, saying it fueled homophobia and prejudice. The ruling was welcomed by gay activists in Russia who had lodged the case, but Moscow said it would appeal. The legislation had made "promoting non-traditional sexual relationships "among minors an offence punishable by a fine. It was also an offence to say that gay relationships were equal to heterosexual ones. The Strasbourg-based court said the Russian laws "reinforced stigma and prejudice and encouraged homophobia," which was "incompatible with the values of a democratic society" .Although homosexuality was decriminalized in Russia in 1993, prejudice is common and human rights activists allege widespread abuse. Three gay activists – Nikolay Bayev, Aleksey Kiselev and Nikolay Alex-

eyev – had staged protests outside a school, a children's library and a government building holding banners that said homosexuality was not a perversion.
WASHINGTON: The United States on Tuesday imposed a fresh round of trade sanctions on Russia and Ukrainian separatists, toughening the stance just as President Donald Trump was hosting his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko.
The new sanctions also followed moves by lawmakers last week to impose new Russia sanctions and prevent the White House from unilaterally easing sanctions on Moscow over alleged interference in the 2016 presidential elections. The Treasury Department said Tuesday the strengthened sanctions targeted individuals and organizations connected to the continuing conflict in eastern Ukraine and would remain in place until Russia met obligations under peace accords of 2014 and 2015. The move freezes any US-based assets of the individuals and entities, and effectively blocks them from using much of the global banking system.
