UN GATE, Nov 11 –
While Guterres
was covering
up the massing
of troops on
Ukraine's
border,
assuring the
friendly
correspondents
he allowed in
that an
invasion would
not happened,
from outside
the UN Gate
Kurt Wheelock
was writing,
on February
17:
Ukraine
Opposes
Tatneft with
Troops on
Border Cited
in SDNY
Mediation
SDNY
COURTHOUSE,
Feb 17 –
Ukraine,
fending off
troops on its
borders and
separately an
arbitral award
to Tatneft,
cited both in
arguments
before U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York
Magistrate
Judge Sarah
Netburn on
February 17.
Live tweeted
thread
here:
now Ukraine v.
PAO Tatneft,
in which
Ukraine is
opposing
discovery
requests by
citing troops
on its border.
SDNY judge
says, I
understand,
but...
Ukraine's
lawyer Maria
Kostytska:
There is no
justification
for these 52
subpoenas from
Tatneft. There
are troops on
Ukraine's
border.
Judge:
I understand
that. But I am
concerned with
efficiencies
in these two
litigations.
Ukraine wants
a protective
order entered
- not (just)
to protect it
militarily,
but hear to
keep documents
in the case
secret, from
the Press and
public. Inner
City Press may
after research
oppose this -
this week we
won some
unsealing
Tatneft's
lawyer:
Ukraine wants
to delay. We
have
subpoena-ed
financial
institutions.
[From docket,
involved:
#BankOfAmerica,
#WellsFargo,
#MorganStanley,
#Santander,
#CIBC,
#CreditAgricole
&
#GoldmanSachs
Ukraine:
There are
discovery
proceedings in
four Federal
courts, in NY
and DC. [So
what's the
4th?] We are
speaking on
behalf of the
highest levels
of Ukraine's
government.
The Prime
Minister is
considering
this. There is
a mediation
upcoming.
Ukraine's
lawyer: We are
not delaying.
We are
exercising our
recourse
against an
award based on
illegal share
purchase using
promissory
notes. We have
not waived
this due to
estoppel. We
have not
provided on
appeal. So we
seek
certiorari
Tatneft's
lawyer: The
discovery
could be
avoided if
Ukraine would
secure the
judgment. The
arbitral award
is what it is.
We are
entitled to
pursue
discovery
without
further delay.
Judge: Maybe
Ms. Kostytska
tomorrow will
have more info
from her
client
[Ukraine]
Judge: So this
is how we're
going to
proceed --
Ukraine's
lawyer: We
want to add an
additional
suggestion, we
want
reconsideration
under Local
Rule 6.3, your
clear
error.
Digging into
the docket, we
find a
declaration by
Ukraine citing
the US State
Department on
an "invasion
force of
175,000."
This
case is
Ukraine v. PAO
Tatneft,
21-mc-376
(Koeltl /
Netburn) &
here's
the February
17 song
Meanwhile,
the US
Administration
was bragging
about its
talks with
Guterres:
Spokesperson
Ned
Price:
Secretary of
State Antony
J. Blinken
spoke today
with United
Nations
Secretary-General
Antonio
Guterres about
Russia’s
premeditated,
unprovoked,
and
unjustified
attack against
Ukraine.
Secretary
Blinken
thanked the
Secretary-General
for the
commitment of
the United
Nations to
deliver
assistance in
Ukraine
despite
extremely
dangerous and
difficult
circumstances.
Secretary
Blinken
emphasized the
importance of
ensuring
humanitarian
workers’
safety and
security.
This
while Guterres
covered up for
UN staffer
Karim
Elkorany,
drugging and
raping at
least thirteen
humanitarian
workers...
