#Поздравления

❗️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin congratulated Russia’s women on International Women’s Day 🌸

💬 From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all the best on International Women's Day.

Many countries celebrate this holiday, but for Russia, it is always filled with special warmth and meaning, with the most kind, joyful and sincere feelings, because this reverence and respect towards women and motherhood is an unconditional value for us, something we have been passing on from generation to generation.

Today, everyone across all the cities and towns of our vast country is addressing words of love and admiration to their mothers, grandmothers, sisters, wives, daughters, and girlfriends, eager to please their loved and dearest ones, to hug them and say something they might not have time to say every day amid the fast flow of events, to give their love, convey the kindest feelings and say the most sincere words to those who believe in them and wait for them at home in times of trial and separation.

Dear women, we know and appreciate the weight you are carrying. We realise how much in our lives depends on your hard work and generous souls, how much effort you put into taking care of children and ensuring love, comfort and harmony in your families.

And of course, your unwavering responsibility is something that inspired unwavering respect; so does your ability to take into account the minutest details, all aspects of your job, and all the best qualities that you show in various professions.

<...>

You are inspiring faith and helping our heroes to feel a piece of home despite the distance that separates them. Your compassion and mercy can work wonders, and they do.

All the best to you. Happy International Women's Day!

✍️ Статья Посла А.И.Антонова "Провальный инструмент внешнеполитического принуждения" специально для ИД "Коммерсант"

🔹Вашингтон старается обставить политику «адских» санкций против зарубежных конкурентов яркими, но лишь псевдоблаговидными предлогами. Ясно, что речь идет о банальной корысти.

🔹Соединенные Штаты пытаются наказать нас за столь неслыханную «наглость», как защита — после исчерпания всех политико-дипломатических методов — коренных интересов национальной безопасности.

🔹Еженедельно в вашингтонских кабинетах штамповались рестрикции против целых секторов отечественной экономики, множества компаний. Запутанные ограничения бьют по жизненно важным сферам.

🔹Апогей деструктивных инициатив западников под эгидой Вашингтона — использование в собственных конъюнктурных целях террористических методов. Пример - "Северные потоки".

‼️ Российская экономика устояла под беспрецедентным и всесторонним натиском. Обвала рынка не произошло.

🔹Выкладки МВФ прогнозируют выход отечественного нацхозяйства в рост уже в текущем году.

🔹В США признают высокий профессионализм российского правительства и финрегуляторов.

🔹Зачинщиков санкций можно только поблагодарить за искусственно созданную возможность по-настоящему заняться опережающим импортозамещением. Особенно - в сфере новых технологий.

🔹Экономисты начинают признавать: за санкционными эскападами Вашингтона стоит желание обеспечить себе искусственные рыночные преимущества. Выдавить соперников.

☝️США, уверовав в собственную безнаказанность, не гнушаются ничем, чтобы удержать ускользающее геоэкономическое доминирование.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Ответ Посла России в США А.И.Антонова на вопрос СМИ

❓: Уважаемый Анатолий Иванович, как бы Вы прокомментировали присуждение гражданке Украины Ю.Паевской американской награды International Women of Courage Award?

💬А.И.Антонов: Мы, безусловно, обратили внимание на чествование в Международный женский день члена нацбатальона «Азов» (организация признана в России террористической).

‼️Это позор. В голове не укладывается, что в стенах Белого дома могут чествовать нацистов.

👉Для тех, кто не знает: Паевская с позывным «Тайра» - украинская террористка-головорез, чьи руки обагрены кровью стариков, женщин и детей.

В марте 2022 г. она прикинулась матерью двоих детей, родителей которых сама же убила. Переодевшись в гражданскую одежду, пыталась сбежать с завода «Азовсталь» в Мариуполе. Похищенные несовершеннолетние позднее признались, что Паевская угрожала им расправой.

В 2014 г. эта особа активно участвовала в вооруженном захвате власти на Украине. Затем с 2014 по 2018 гг. занималась боевой подготовкой неонацистов в Донбассе. Совершала преступления против мирных жителей. Излюбленное развлечение последовательницы Бандеры, которую сегодня превозносят в Вашингтоне, - стрелять в людей из снайперской винтовки.

☝️Напомним, что батальон «Азов» исповедует человеконенавистническую идеологию. Официальный символ структуры - знак одной из дивизий СС гитлеровской Германии.

Властям США об этом известно. В 2019 г. Американские конгрессмены потребовали от госсекретаря включить военное формирование в перечень иностранных террористических организаций.

⚠️Получается, что Соединенные Штаты ради цели «насолить» России готовы прославлять нацизм. Местным правящим кругам должно быть стыдно перед американскими и советскими ветеранами, которые ценой своих жизней освобождали мир от «коричневой чумы».

🇷🇺🇺🇸Ambassador Anatoly Antonov‘s answer to a media question

❓: Dear Ambassador, how would you comment on the awarding of the American International Women of Courage Award to Ukrainian citizen Y. Paevskaya?

💬Anatoly Antonov: Of course, we took notice of the honoring of a member of the Azov battalion (an organisation recognized as terrorist in Russia) on the International Women's Day .

‼️This is a disgrace. It is incomprehensible that Nazis can be celebrated within the walls of the White House.

👉For those who don't know: Paevskaya, who goes by the nickname "Tyra," is a Ukrainian terrorist cutthroat whose hands are covered in the blood of the elderly, women, and children.

In March 2022, she pretended to be a mother of two children, whose parents she had killed herself. Disguised in civilian clothing, she tried to escape from the Azovstal plant in Mariupol. The abducted minors later confessed that Paevskaya had threatened them with violence.

In 2014, the person actively participated in the armed seizure of power in Ukraine. From 2014 to 2018, she trained neo-Nazis in the Donbass region. She committed crimes against civilians. Shooting people with a sniper rifle is the favorite pastime of the Bandera follower who is now being glorified in Washington.

☝️It should be noted that the Azov battalion professes a misanthropic ideology. The official symbol of the structure is the emblem of a division of the Nazi Germany SS.

The US authorities know this. In 2019, American congressmen demanded that the Secretary of State include this military formation on the list of foreign terrorist organizations.

⚠️It means that to "hurt" Russia the United States is willing to glorify Nazism. U.S. authorities should be ashamed before American and Soviet veterans who freed the world from the "brown plague" at the cost of their lives.

📆The most devastating air raid in the history of World War II

In the early hours of March 10, 1945, 78 years ago, 325 American B-29 heavy bombers took off from air bases in the Marianas and headed for Tokyo.

As the Historical Materials section on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website says, the US Air Force dropped 1,665 tonnes of bombs and napalm on the Japanese capital, killing ❗️83,000❗️ people and wounding another ❗️41,000❗️. According to other sources, the death toll exceeded 100,000 people. As a result, 16.5 square miles of the city, or more than 40 percent of the housing stock, were burned down, and 180,000 families were left homeless. From a military point of view, the rationale for bombing Tokyo is debatable. It was an act of intimidation and retribution. Napalm destroyed the predominantly wooden city and led to a fire tornado.

No more than 15 percent of buildings survived in Tokyo, mostly European-style buildings such as ministries, embassies and banks. The Americans dropped incendiary bombs using a special technique to create fire rings. Wherever the Japanese ran, they ran into a wall of fire. To get away from the fire, the people jumped into the water. There are many canals and even community swimming pools in Tokyo. However, the heat was so strong that the water was boiling in the small water bodies, and people died from stuffy heat in larger ones.

⁉️ Which aspect of this bombing was in line with international law? The people and forces implicated in crimes must be held accountable. Later, this happened at the Tokyo and Khabarovsk trials, and the true culprits from among the Japanese leadership were there. But before that, the civilians were made a target of the retribution attacks. Isn't that blasphemous?

The Soviet journalist Nikolai Bogdanov was surprised to note that “the Mitsui aircraft factories and the Mitsubishi cannon factories sitting on the outskirts of the city remained unaffected by the bombing.”

Of the 206 Japanese cities, 98 were air bombed and shelled by naval artillery. As a result of the raids, 2,210,000 buildings, about a quarter of Japan's housing stock, were turned into rubble or burned. Civilian losses from aerial bombardments and artillery shelling vary among sources and stand at anywhere from ❗️500,000❗️ to ❗️900,000❗️people.

However, as we know from history, the cold-blooded devastation caused by the carpet bombing and the US nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not make the Japanese government surrender. The decision to stop resistance was made only after the Red Army joined the war.

☝️The bombings of Tokyo, Dresden, and other peaceful cities are part and parcel of the American historical traditions of warfare. The mass killings of civilians in the enemy country are considered acceptable if they pay off in military terms and intimidate the enemy. Then, they came up with a name for it: collateral damage. They have such a special term. In the same way, the Germans did not consider their atrocities to be war crimes, in fact the genocide of the Soviet people.

✍️ Ambassador Anatoly Antonov's article "Sanctions against Russia: a defective tool of political coercion" exclusively for the Russian Newspaper "Kommersant"

🔹Washington is trying to justify its policy of "hellish" sanctions against foreign competitors with high-sounding, but pseudo-plausible pretexts. It is clear that this is all about just self-interest.

🔹The United States is trying to punish us for such an unheard-of audacity as defending - after exhausting all political and diplomatic methods - the fundamental interests of national security.

🔹Washington has been stamping restrictions essentially on a weekly basis – against entire sectors of Russian economy, various companies. The convoluted restrictions hit vital areas.

🔹The apogee of destructive initiatives of Westerners under the aegis of Washington is the use of terrorist methods to achieve their own opportunistic purposes.The example is the explosion of the Nord Streams.

‼️The Russian economy has withstood this literally unprecedented and comprehensive onslaught. No market collapse has occurred.

🔹The recent statistical forecasts of the International Monetary Fund predict a growth of Russian economy already this year.

🔹The U.S. recognizes the high professionalism of the Russian government and financial regulators.

🔹We can only thank the instigators of sanctions for the artificially created opportunity to really engage in advanced import substitution. First of all, in the field of new technologies.

🔹Economists are beginning to admit that behind Washington's sanctions escapades lies a desire to provide artificial market advantages for itself. To squeeze out rivals.

☝️The United States, believing in its own impunity, does not disdain anything to keep its elusive geo-economic dominance.

Ключевые тезисы:

• Россия, действительно, объявлена экзистенциальной, немедленной «угрозой», которую необходимо преодолеть в самые короткие сроки. Следующей угрозой – пока еще в формулировке «долгосрочный, постоянный вызов Западу в мире» – объявлен Китай.

• Возврата к старому быть не может. Нас не надо в этом убеждать. Мы для себя давно сделали все выводы. Мир ничему не научила история между двумя мировыми войнами.

• В отношении России употребляются предельно агрессивные выражения, риторика и действия, которые выражаются прежде всего в незаконных и беспрецедентных санкциях. Они показывают, что Запад действительно для себя решил, что это война не на жизнь, а на смерть.

• Философия «с нами или с Россией» вынашивалась Евросоюзом с самого начала геополитической ситуации, сложившейся после исчезновения СССР.

• [о ситуации в Грузии] Очень похоже на киевский «майдан». Никаких сомнений нет, что закон о регистрации неправительственных организаций, получающих зарубежное финансирование в размере 20% от своего бюджета, был лишь поводом для того, чтобы начать попытку силовой смены власти.

• В Грузии оппозиция не то что может, а обязана делать то, что хочет, а в Молдове протесты против действующей власти осуждаются. Потому что оппозиция в 🇬🇪 Грузии отражает интересы Запада, а оппозиция в 🇲🇩 Молдове отражает иные, а западные интересы в этой стране отражает правительство и президент.

• [о теракте в отношении СП-1 и СП-2] Они не знают, что возразить, особенно после того, как С.Херш опубликовал результаты своих изысканий и обещал продолжить публиковать дополнительные оценки, дополнительные выводы. Для нас это послужило дополнительным фактором, заставившим внести резолюцию Совета Безопасности ООН, которая сейчас обсуждается, и которую обязательно поставим на голосование. <...> Эта грубейшая террористическая атака не останется нерасследованной.

#CollectiveWest

Key points:

🔹In Georgia, the opposition not only can but must do what it wants, whereas protests against the current government in Moldova are being criticised. That’s because the opposition in Georgia reflects the interests of the West, while the opposition in Moldova reflects other interests, and the government and the president of Moldova reflect Western interests.

🔹Two similar situations involving protests are unfolding literally before our eyes. In Tbilisi, the protests were far from being peaceful. As you could see, the demonstrators overturned cars and used tear gas and smoke bombs. I don’t think any of that is taking place in Chisinau. Even if it were a similar action, the reaction to the protests would be fundamentally different. I think all countries neighbouring the Russian Federation should be aware of the dangers associated with this path of being drawn into the zone of interests and responsibility of the United States. This zone is now spreading all over the world.

☝️They (the “collective West”) were waiting for a pretext to get their hooks in Russia and the right time to do it. Russia began to be seen as too independent a player. We were gaining economic strength, not as great as China or India, but still we remained among the leading economies. We have a strong moral and political position on the international stage. We speak out on key issues for developing countries from the standpoint of justice and offering a critique of the system which the West would like to maintain in the post-colonial era based on its striving to live off others.

🔹Russia has indeed been declared an existential, immediate “threat” to be handled in the immediate future.

#RussiaUSA

Key points:

🔹In principle, the Americans are very good at antagonising people. They know many ways of doing this. Probably, the main method is their manners that cannot be called diplomacy. In effect, they consist of a form of dictate and demands.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Russian Ambassador in Washington Anatoly Antonov, whom you know well, has enormous problems in maintaining contacts with his counterparts, as do his employees. This is not because we are so eager to meet daily with employees of the US Department of State or other agencies but because the emerging questions are not about the future of the universe but about specific living conditions of Russian diplomats in the US and US diplomats in Russia. Washington is making it harder for them to do their jobs and it is hard even to discuss with those in charge these humanitarian issues, issues of common human sense.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 We (Sergey Lavrov and Antony Blinken) only discussed strategic stability and Ukraine. I do not want to go into the details of how this short ten-minute conversation took place. As a matter of principle, everything I heard is in line with the well-known publicly voiced and repeatedly emphasised US position in this regard. I have given detailed explanations. Especially with regard to New START. Russia's position and the forced nature of its decision to suspend the Treaty were explained in great detail by Russian President Vladimir Putin in his address to the Federal Assembly. There is nothing new to be said here either.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 We talked constructively, without emotion, shook hands when we met and parted. It was a normal conversation. I don’t know how much it reflects the US’s understanding of the abnormality of the situation when they cut off all channels of communication.

❗️This once again shows how low we have all fallen in our multilateral diplomacy when a natural meet “on the sidelines” – of which there are hundreds – is now seen as an opportunity to speculate on whether or not there is a breakthrough and whether or not there is any hope that a dialogue will be restored. This is regrettable and sad.
