🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with Rossiya television network (April 11, 2022)
READ IN FULL
💬 This is a major shift in the policy of the EU and the entire West under the leadership of the US (there is no doubt about that) that occurred after the start of our special military operation. Their current policy is rooted in bitterness and derangement (excuse the non-diplomatic word choice), though it’s not all about Ukraine but rather turning that country into a bridgehead from which Russia can finally be subjugated and subordinated to the global system built by the West even though the Cold War ended and the USSR and Warsaw Treaty disappeared.
The West was moving closer to our borders all the time despite its promises not to expand NATO, statements to the effect that we were no longer adversaries and many other things. Our special military operation is designed to put an end to NATO’s unlimited expansion and to keep the US and other NATO countries from achieving total world domination.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s interview with RT
❗️Russia has made public the facts that have come to light to date at the UN and other international organisations and called on the US authorities to provide detailed explanations, but, predictably, Washington does not appear to be ready to share with the public any meaningful information on its military biological programme in Ukraine.
📃 According to confirmed reports, Germany closely coordinated its work on biological security with its US allies, who established a network of at least 30 biological laboratories in Ukraine.

☝️ We urge German officials to immediately stop spreading false allegations about our country’s intentions to use weapons banned by international law. We believe that such statements can only serve to push neo-Nazi battalions to commit horrible provocations, and moral responsibility for their tragic consequences will be shared by Berlin.

💬 Russian MFA Spokesperson Maria Zakharova on the anniversary of the Ukrainian assault on the Donbass.
▪️ On April 13, 2014 the Kiev regime began a civil war under the name Anti-Terrorist Operation against Donbass civilians who refused to accept the anti-constitutional coup by neo-Nazis.
❗️For eight years we have been witnessing Kiev’s war crimes and the West’s indifference to the tragedy in Donbass.
Our attempts to make Kiev abide by the #MinskAgreements failed, including due to the position of the Western countries who were playing their own game with their military buildup in Ukraine, turning it into a bridgehead against Russia while hiding behind talk of “engagement” in the political process of peace negotiations.
🛡 Having exhausted diplomatic means of protecting Donbass and ensuring its own security, Russia was forced to launch a special military operation.
(excerpt from weekly briefing of 14.04.22)

Key points
🔹 The report published by the Russian Ministry of Defence today clearly proves that Washington, in close coordination with its NATO partners, has reached the final stage of setting up provocations in Ukraine aimed at convincing the international community that “Russia has been using weapons-grade poisonous substances and biological agents.”
🔹 Their rationale is obvious: the shocking details of the illegal cooperation between the United States and the Ukrainian administration which still remains in power in making bacteriological weapons have been revealed to the world. The realisation that their criminal activities would inevitably be exposed was so patently clear that Washington began to prepare in advance:
👉 Shaped public opinion
👉 Picked the contractors
👉 Worked to influence international organisations
🔹 The Americans and their partners in Europe take no notice of the fact that Russia has had no chemical weapons at all for five years – since September 27, 2017, and this has been verified by the OPCW. The Ukrainians, aided by NATO specialists, are to remedy this flaw in the American plans crudely enough: just as corrupt police officers plant a weapon with prints on an innocent suspect, Washington and Kiev are going to plant chemical weapons at the Russian Armed Forces’ positions in Ukraine.
👉 This is more than serious. Clearly, the original US plan was to step up economic pressure on Russia to make it reconsider its legitimate security interests. That didn’t work. Now the US is going to use WMD; in fact, this is a game that crosses the red line. If this happens, the number of victims will be incalculable. Each of them will be on the conscience of the American strategists sitting in the White House, the State Department and the Pentagon, and on the conscience of their puppets in Kiev, if they still have any left.

Possible targets:
☣️ Biological facilities in Kharkov and Kiev
☣️ Nuclear energy facilities, i.a. Zaporozhie nuclear power plant

Nuclear DisInfo (Read in full)
Mechanisms for information attacks with a new thesis that target the public space have been launched in the West at the highest level in a transboundary and trans-format manner. The premise is primitive and completely horrifying: the Russians are threatening a nuclear war, and the Russians are waving the nuclear stick.
⁉️ Do I even need to say that this thesis is absolutely incorrect and false? Apparently, I do.
They are pushing this exact thesis because it plays on basic human fears, the experience of the older generation, which throughout the second half of the 20th century was bracing for the Third World War against global communism, and Western youth, for which their respective governments have come up with a new mechanism called “cancel culture” (cancelling everything Russian this time). Moreover, the West absolutely does not care what Moscow really says, and the meaning of words is distorted and outwardly perverted.
Let’s consider the specifics.
Two days ago, in his answer to a question by Dimitri Simes during an interview, Sergey Lavrov said literally the following 👉 full quote
What are the takeaways?
1. It was Russia that, with great difficulty, convinced the United States during lengthy talks to reaffirm the Gorbachev-Reagan formula that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.
2. It was Russia that persuaded the group of five nuclear nations to adopt a statement with the same content.
3. There are risks; they should not be blown out of proportion or underestimated.
We did everything possible to prevent a nuclear war, to create all the necessary obstacles on the way to slipping into this scenario (fortunately, they justified themselves during the Cold War and are working today), because we understand the real risks and threats posed by irresponsible behaviour in this area. We cannot allow the very thought of a nuclear war.
Now acting in the worst traditions of disinformation, Western officials are feeding the media, in a coordinated effort, fake news about Moscow’s alleged nuclear threats. The foreign ministries from the NATO countries started convincing the people in their countries that the Russians were “rattling their weapons.”
<...>
Notice how clumsy this was in terms of media work. First, all the put-up quotes against our country were repeated by the journalist, and then they were again mentioned by Ned Price. A presentation designed for a not too sophisticated public. No one even paid attention to what the Foreign Minister said about the risks and Russia’s attempts to prevent the unthinkable.
It’s unthinkable to us, but, mindful of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it is, unfortunately, possible for our colleagues from overseas.
The next day, the media started mass brainwashing. The British tabloids (the Daily Mail and others) and the high-quality analytical US press, French television and German tabloid magazines started talking with one voice that Moscow was threatening with a Third World Nuclear War. And this was already being discussed in Europe; French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said that the Russian Foreign Minister’s words were the “rhetoric of intimidation.”
I would like to ask this Frenchman whether he at least saw what Sergey Lavrov said? We have translated the interview.
Our country is against any nuclear war, and this is exactly what the Russian Minister said, and this is what guides our diplomacy in its work.
Could it be that the Western capitals read the interviews as presented by the Western media? This is the only thing that can justify their words. To avoid that, one should simply DON'T turn off alternative sources of information, and listen to what Russia has to say close to the original text, rather than as interpreted by your media under NATO guidelines.

🇷🇺🇦🇲🇧🇾🇰🇿🇰🇬🇹🇯 The Kremlin hosted a meeting of the heads of state of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation.
On the agenda:
▫️ key issues of cooperation within the CSTO,
▫️ topical international and regional problems,
▫️ measures to further improve the collective security system.
💬 President of Russia Vladimir Putin:
▫️ Our current high-priority task is to further improve and streamline the work of the CSTO and its governing bodies. We will also provide the collective CSTO forces with modern weapons and equipment.
▫️ This autumn, there are plans to hold an entire series of joint CSTO exercises in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.
▫️ During the special operation in Ukraine, documentary evidence was obtained that components of biological weapons were developed in close proximity to our borders. We count on our colleagues supporting the earliest possible implementation of Russia’s initiative to operationalise the designated CSTO council.
▫️ In this context, it is important to build up cooperation with our “natural” partners in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Commonwealth of Independent States. By the way, we think it would be appropriate and correct – we will discuss this – to grant the CIS observer status in the CSTO.
▫️ Unfortunately, in our neighbouring country, Ukraine, neo-Nazism has been on the rise for a long time now, to which some of our partners from the “collective West” turn a blind eye. Nowhere are Nazis being glorified at the state level. But unfortunately, this is happening in Ukraine.
▫️ Russia has no problems with Finland and Sweden. Therefore, there is no direct threat to Russia in connection with NATO’s expansion to these countries. But the expansion of its military infrastructure to these territories will certainly evoke a response on our part.

🔹 The standard of living in Europe is declining, inflation is on the rise and economic growth is waning. The new poor have become a fact of life. People are impacted by multiple problems, including higher prices. Many are in danger of becoming destitute. Despite this, tens of billions of dollars and euros are being used to arm Ukraine.
🔹 Ukraine is a bargaining chip and a tool that is manipulated primarily by the United States and Great Britain - an Anglo-Saxon team now heading the West.
🔹 The West prohibits Ukraine to negotiate.
🔹 As a reminder, there was no referendum in Kosovo, but there was one in Crimea, which was attended by multiple foreign observers, albeit representing not nation states, but reputable civil bodies, honest people who wanted to see everything with their own eyes.

✉️ Vladimir Putin sent greetings to participants, organizers and guests of the 25th St Petersburg International Economic Forum:
🔷 The Forum’s anniversary is taking place at a difficult time for the entire international community. The mistakes of Western countries in economic policy over many years and illegitimate sanctions have led to a wave of global inflation, the disruption of usual supply chains, and a sharp increase in poverty and food shortages.
🔷 I am confident that for Russia the 2020s will become a period when the country strengthens its economic sovereignty, which involves the accelerated development of its infrastructure and technological base, qualitative upgrades in the level of training for specialists, as well as the establishment of an independent and efficient financial system. In addition, the Russian economy will increasingly rely on private initiatives and, of course, will remain committed to transparency and broad international cooperation.

First, the situation with the global food market did not become worse yesterday or even with the launch of Russia’s special military operation. The situation took a downturn in February 2020 during the efforts to counter the pandemic when the global economy was down and had to be revived.
