Russian spymaster boasted he could supply nuclear weapons
'Ideally the Ugandans charter their own aircraft or fly commercial when they deliver the small chunk. No point in us wasting money for that,' Marsalek wrote.
'When they land in Moscow someone will pick them up and take the cash past customs. We can even declare it officially if we want to have some paperwork fun.
'I don't think that it matters much how big the sample is. It should fit into a suitcase so we don't have the hassle at the airport and it should be more than a couple hundred K so it is meaningful and credible.
'It could be 5 million , 10 million, 15 million.
'Something where nobody gets excited. It's totally normal for people to arrive in Moscow with a few million in cash.
'Admittedly $400 million is rather rare.'
Roussev responded: 'OK so looking for a normal 75-litre suitcase or 2 such suitcases that I think can hold at least about 5-8 million and we are good.'
The commission for the task would be split between the pair and Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB), they said.
The four-day sentencing hearing continues.

Alaska man gifted motorcycle by Russian government after viral interview
An Alaska man might have walked away as the biggest winner of last week's high stakes summit between US president Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Anchorage. He rode off with a new motorcycle, courtesy of the Russian government. Advertisement Mr Putin's delegation gifted Mark Warren, a retired fire inspector for the Municipality of Anchorage, a Ural Gear Up motorcycle with a sidecar, one week after a television crew's interview with Mr Warren went viral in Russia. The motorcycle company, founded in 1941 in western Siberia, now assembles its bikes in Petropavlovsk, Kazakhstan, and distributes them through a team based in Woodinville, Washington. Mark Warren (Bill Roth/Anchorage Daily News via AP) Mr Warren already owned one Ural motorcycle, purchased from a neighbour. He was out running errands on it a week before the summit when a Russian television crew saw him and asked for an interview. Mr Warren told the crew about his difficulty obtaining parts for the bike because of supply-and-demand issues. Advertisement 'It went viral, it went crazy, and I have no idea why, because I'm really just a super-duper normal guy,' Mr Warren said on Tuesday. 'They just interviewed some old guy on a Ural, and for some reason they think it's cool.' On August 13, two days before the Trump-Putin summit to discuss the war in Ukraine, Mr Warren received a call from the Russian journalist, who told him: 'They've decided to give you a bike.' Mr Warren said a document he received indicated the gift was arranged through the Russian Embassy in the US. Advertisement Mr Warren said he initially thought it might be a scam. But after Mr Putin and Mr Trump departed Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson following their three-hour summit last Friday, he got another call informing him the bike was at the base. He was directed to go to an Anchorage hotel the next day for the handover. He went with his wife, and there in the car park – along with six men he assumed to be Russians, was the olive-green motorcycle, valued at 22,000 dollars (£16,000). Alaska resident Mark Warren poses with a new Ural motorcycle (Bill Roth/Anchorage Daily News via AP) 'I dropped my jaw,' he said. 'I went, 'You've got to be joking me.'' All the Russians asked in return was to take his picture and interview him, he said: 'If they want something from me, they're gonna be sorely disappointed.' Advertisement Two reporters and someone from the consulate jumped on the bike with him, and he drove slowly around the car park while a cameraman ran alongside and filmed it. The only reservation he had about taking the Ural is that he might somehow be implicated in some nefarious Russian scheme. Mr Warren said he does not want a 'bunch of haters coming after me that I got a Russian motorcycle. … I don't want this for my family'. When he was signing the paperwork taking ownership of the motorcycle from the Russian embassy, he noticed it was manufactured on August 12. Advertisement 'The obvious thing here is that it rolled off the showroom floor and slid into a jet within probably 24 hours,' he said.

Russia has 'special mechanisms' to supply oil to India, embassy official says
NEW DELHI, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Russia will continue supplying oil to India and the country's President Vladimir Putin will meet India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi by the end of year, a Russian embassy official in India said on Wednesday. Russia has a "very, very special mechanism" to continue oil supplies to India, Roman Babushkin, the charge d'affaires at the Russian embassy in India, told reporters at a press briefing, adding that India's crude oil imports from Russia will remain at the same level. No dates had been finalised for the Putin-Modi meeting yet, he said. The U.S. is set to impose an additional 25% tariff on Indian exports on August 28, citing their imports of Russian oil, which expanded after Western nations sanction Russian supply after its invasion of Ukraine. However, the U.S. has stopped short of imposing similar tariffs on China over its purchases of Russian oil. Last month, the European Union sanctioned Russian-backed Indian refinery Nayara Energy, leading the refiner to cut back processing and companies to curtail their trading with them. Trade between Indian and Russia was expected to grow 10% annually, Evgeniy Griva, Deputy Trade Representative of Russia to India said at the briefing.

Oil firms while investors await next steps in Ukraine peace talks
SINGAPORE, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Oil prices edged up on Wednesday as investors awaited the next steps in talks to end the war in Ukraine, with sanctions on Russian crude remaining in place for now and the potential for further restrictions on buyers of its exports still looming. Brent crude futures rose 50 cents to $66.29 a barrel by 0630 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures for September delivery, set to expire on Wednesday, were at $62.80 a barrel, up 45 cents. The more active October contract was at $62.30 a barrel, up 53 cents. Prices settled down more than 1% on Tuesday on optimism that a deal to end the war seemed closer, which would likely lead to an easing of sanctions on Russia and an increase in global supply. However, despite comments from U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday that the U.S. might provide air support as part of security guarantees for Ukraine, he also conceded that Russian President Vladimir Putin might not want to make a deal. "Crude markets are in limbo ... continued protracted peace talks will keep the market on its toes," said Emril Jamil, a senior analyst at LSEG. Trump said on Monday he was arranging a meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to be followed by a trilateral summit among the three presidents. Russia has not confirmed it will take part in talks with Zelenskiy. "The likelihood of a quick resolution to the conflict with Russia now seems unlikely," said Daniel Hynes, senior commodity strategist at ANZ, in a note on Wednesday. In the U.S., BP (BP.L), opens new tab said on Tuesday operations at its 440,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Whiting, Indiana, were affected by flooding caused by a severe thunderstorm overnight, potentially weighing on the facility's crude demand. The site is a key fuel producer for the Midwest market. Prices also found some support as an industry inventory report indicated steady crude and fuel demand in the United States, the world's biggest oil consumer. U.S. crude oil inventories fell by 2.42 million barrels in the week ended August 15, market sources said on Tuesday, citing American Petroleum Institute figures. Gasoline inventories fell by 956,000 barrels, while distillate inventories rose by 535,000 barrels from last week, the sources said.
