Key topics:
#SpecialMilitaryOperation
📌 They came to the first line in the Zaporozhye direction and lost several tanks. A battle is ongoing there now. I think the Armed Forces of Ukraine have no chance here and won’t have a chance here like in other areas. I have no doubt about this.
⁉️The attempt to damage the Kremlin, which is the residence of the President of the Russian Federation, attacks on the Belgorod Region and neighbouring regions of Russia are attempts to provoke us into taking response measures. Listen, we have destroyed five Patriot air defence systems near Kiev. Do you think it is hard for us to destroy any building or structure in the centre of Kiev? It is not. We are not doing it for several reasons. here are many reasons, but I will tell you about them later.
❌ We have never refused to talk. It was them who decided to stop talking with us. If they do not want to talk with us, they are free not to do so. A day will come when they will want to do it, and then we will see when and what we can talk about with them.
📌 If these attacks on our adjacent territories continue, we will consider the possibility of creating a buffer zone in the Ukrainian territory.
#Zelensky #Bandera #NeoNazism
❗️ I have had many Jewish friends since childhood. They say: #Zelensky is not a Jew but a disgrace to the Jewish people.
‼️This is not a joke or irony. Do you understand? After all, neo-Nazis, followers of Hitler, have been raised on pedestals as today’s heroes in Ukraine. The #Holocaust means killing 6 million Jews, one and a half million of which were killed in Ukraine, and primarily at the hands of Bandera followers.
☝️We keep saying the same thing over and over again. Bandera was an anti-Semite and a neo-Nazi. But no one appears to want to hear that because Zelensky has Jewish blood. But he is covering for these freaks, these neo-Nazis, with his actions.
📌 They tore down a monument to Lenin. I spoke with journalists recently, ok, it is your own business, although he is the founder of modern Ukraine, never mind. But why are you putting Nazis on this pedestal?
📌 This is Bandera and his minions. These are the people who today are the heroes of Ukraine, whom the current Ukrainian government is defending, both as individuals and their ideology. How can you not fight this? We must fight this. Russia was the country hardest hit by the war against Nazism. We will never forget this.
📌 How can you not fight it? If this is not the current edition of neo-Nazism, then what is it? We have every right to believe that our goal of denazifying Ukraine is one of the key goals.
#Economics
📌 Any non-market restrictions in global trade regardless of the sector are counter-productive and detrimental to the entire world economy, for the entire global trade, which means they are damaging for those who initiate such restrictions as well.
📌 We did not begin to shift our focus to the Asian markets, to Africa and to Latin America just yesterday. We started this process long before the tragic events in Ukraine, way before them. Why? Because global economic trends are changing, and leaders are changing, and new ones are coming to the fore.
📌 When I hear someone say that we will become dependent on China, my question is what about you? You became dependent on it a long time ago. Do you see my point? They became dependent long ago. So, it seems it is okay for them to become dependent.
⁉️ In today’s world it is hard to make other countries mindlessly tow to somebody’s interests; it is practically impossible sometimes. How can you force a country with a multimillion population to say: “Don’t buy Russian grain, starve, let your people die of starvation!” Who could say this?
📌 The current crisis in Ukraine is beneficial for them (the West).

⚡ Part II⚡
Key topics:
#AlQaeda
📌 Let us think back to the bloody events in the Caucasus in the late 1990s – early 2000s. What was it all about? Everyone was condemning Al-Qaeda, but when Al-Qaeda started fighting us in the Caucasus, that was all forgotten. If there is anything they can use in their fight against Russia, they use it to its fullest, just like they used Al-Qaeda.
📌 Today, they are using neo-Nazis in Ukraine. They forgot that they are dealing with neo-Nazis; no one remembers that or utters a word about it. They have put a well-known person at the helm who is covering for this neo-Nazi cabal, with no end in sight. Nobody hears anything.
#NATO
👉 NATO is becoming involved in the war in Ukraine. What are we talking about? There are deliveries of military hardware, heavy equipment. Now they are considering supplies of aircraft as well.
🔥 Several tanks, including the Leopards, burned yesterday too. They are burning. The F-16s will be burning too, no doubt about it.
❗️But if they are located at air bases outside Ukraine and are used in hostilities, we will have to think about how and where we can hit the resources that are used against us in the hostilities. There is a serious danger of NATO’s further involvement in this armed conflict.
#USA
📌 As far as Mr #Trump is concerned, a host of sanctions and restrictions on Russia were introduced during his presidency. Note that there were no grievous, tragic events in Ukraine, not even a hint of them, yet sanctions were imposed.
☝️But I do not rule out that with a different administration [in the United States], we could have achieved a peaceful settlement plan, which Ukraine and western capitals rejected unfortunately. And they announced this publicly.
🇷🇺 🇺🇸 As for contacts, there are practically none. But we have never declined. If there is any desire to maintain a dialogue with us – welcome, it is not us who refuse to carry on a dialogue with them, they just shifted the focus of this dialogue to arms supplies. We will burn everything they have supplied and see what they will do next.
📌 It would have been better for them to choose another path and seek peaceful means of resolving the dispute, but it has not come to that yet. We see that they are trying to win a victory on the battlefield. Good luck. We will see the result. It did not work so far and is unlikely to.
‼️ President #Biden is an adult person and an experienced politician. It is not my place to teach him. Let him do what he thinks necessary, and we will do what we think is in the interests of the Russian Federation and the people of Russia. And everybody will have to take this into account.
#NuclearWeapons
❗️I reject this. It is certainly theoretically possible to use nuclear weapons this way. For Russia, it is possible if there is a threat to our territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty, an existential threat to the Russian state. Nuclear weapons are created to ensure our security, in the broadest sense of the word, and the existence of the Russian state.
☢️ We have more such nuclear weapons than NATO countries. They know about it and never stop trying to persuade us to start nuclear reduction talks. Like hell we will, right? A popular phrase.
🇷🇺🇧🇾 The first nuclear warheads have been delivered to Belarus, but only the first batch. This is an element of deterrence.
☝️ I would like to remind everyone that the only country in the world that has used nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear state is the United States, which has delivered two strikes at cities in Japan: Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

We love the Algerian people, who fought for their independence from 1954, as far as I remember, to nearly 1962–1963, and who have lost 1.5 million lives in that struggle. Even after they gained independence in 1962,🇫🇷 army held nuclear tests in the Sahara, in the Algerian territory, in 1963–1964, and the country can feel the grave consequences of that to this day.

✈️ #ВЭтотДень в 1937 году стартовал легендарный беспосадочный перелёт советских авиаторов по маршруту Москва – Северный полюс – Ванкувер. Экипаж в составе командира В.П.Чкалова, второго пилота Г.Ф.Байдукова и штурмана А.В.Белякова преследовал амбициозную цель: впервые в истории «соединить» континенты по кратчайшему пути – через Северный Ледовитый океан.
🧊 Специально для этого и других дальних перелётов советский авиаконструктор А.Н.Туполев всего за один год создал одномоторный АНТ-25 с большим удлинением крыла. Такая конструкция позволяла брать больше топлива, а также увеличивала планирующие способности машины.
🧊 Перелёт, который длился в общей сложности 63 часа 16 минут, проходил в экстремальных условиях. Во-первых, большие неприятности доставлял арктический мороз. Лёд со стёкол кабины приходилось срезать вручную финкой, а двигатель охлаждать чаем и кофе из термосов, потому что предназначенные для этого запасы воды замёрзли. Во-вторых, из-за облачных фронтов лётчикам приходилось либо пилотировать самолет вслепую, либо менять курс, из-за чего было перерасходовано около 300 л топлива.
🧊 Изначально экипаж планировал совершить посадку в Сан-Франциско, однако из-за перерасхода топлива было решено приземлиться в Ванкувере. Побить мировой рекорд по дальности полёта не получилось – меньше чем через месяц это сделает другой советский экипаж под командованием М.М.Громова.
🧊 Несмотря на это, перелёт команды В.П.Чкалова стал одним из крупнейших событий в истории мировой авиации. Он продемонстрировал передовой характер советских достижений в авиастроительстве, доказал всему миру высочайший профессионализм и отвагу советских авиаторов.
🤝 Подвиг троих лётчиков широко освещался в прессе – как в советской, так и в американской. Президент США Ф.Д.Рузвельт лично принял экипаж в Овальном кабинете Белого дома. Трансполярный перелёт способствовал налаживанию дружеских отношений между двумя странами, стал предпосылкой плодотворного сотрудничества СССР и США во время Второй мировой войны.

🎙 Ответ Министра иностранных дел Российской Федерации С.В.Лаврова на вопрос программы «Москва. Кремль. Путин» (18 июня 2023 года)
❓ Вопрос: Берлин утвердил новую Стратегию национальной безопасности. В ней заявлено о том, что Москва стала угрозой «номер один». Разве страна, участвовавшая в объединении Германии, может быть таковой?
💬 С.В.Лавров: Мне трудно комментировать действия, высказывания, документы, принимаемые современными германскими политиками. Они не опираются ни на логику, ни на интересы самой Германии и германского народа.
Министр иностранных дел А.Бербок в свое время в ответ на критику политики кабинета О.Шольца, которая привела к существенному удорожанию жизни, ухудшению социально-экономического положения граждан, сказала, что ее избиратели страдают, но они обязаны это сделать ради Украины. В Берлине постоянно заявляют, что отстаивают на Украине свои европейские ценности.
Если Германия считает ценностями, которые сейчас на Украине процветают, возвращение к нацизму, то это весьма печально. Это опасное развитие событий.

⚡️ Press release on the United States’ plan to rejoin UNESCO
The US State Department has sent an official notice to the UNESCO Secretariat stating that the United States intends to rejoin UNESCO, which the Americans withdrew from in 2018.
The advocates of this plan have initiated an extraordinary session of the UNESCO General Assembly to be held on June 29 and 30. The agenda for the extraordinary session is expected to include the issue of settling financial aspects in the context of the outstanding debt of $612 million that the United States owes to the agency.
☝️ The plan submitted to the UNESCO member countries for consideration is practically an ultimatum by Washington as it provides for reinstating the voting right and the passive electoral right of UNESCO’s biggest debtor.
It is also important that in addition to the practical task of “zeroing out” the accumulated debt, the Americans are not making a secret of the political motive that underlies their decision. In particular, the State Department says that its objective is to counter China’s influence in UNESCO and promote other national interests of the United States.
As a responsible member country of UNESCO, which is strongly committed to the agency’s principles and goals, Russia supports the efforts to strengthen universal intergovernmental cooperation in culture, science and education and believes UNESCO has nothing to do with confrontation.
The Russian Federation is ready to welcome the reintegration of the United States. <...> However, as it moves towards achieving this objective, the US should not act in the spirit of the notorious rules-based order and violate UNESCO’s constitution or other standards, and primarily the US should pay off its astronomical debt unconditionally and in full.
We would like to remind the UNESCO executive authorities that all of the agency’s current and future member countries need to strictly observe the agency’s constitution.
❗️There should be no exceptions from the rules set for everyone.

💬 В.В.Путин: Дорогие друзья!
📌День медицинского работника, конечно, это прежде всего профессиональный праздник, но о нём знают миллионы граждан России и спешат поздравить докторов, фельдшеров, медицинских сестёр, нянечек, сказать им о своём уважении к их труду, выразить чувства благодарности и восхищения.
📌Такое высокое признание деятельности медицинских работников всегда было в нашем обществе, но в тяжелейший период эпидемии коронавирусной инфекции мы все намного более полно, глубоко осознали, насколько значима эта профессия, какой самоотверженности требует труд медиков, сколько нужно стойкости и милосердия, чтобы спасти, выходить, вылечить больных.
📌 От вас, дорогие друзья, во многом зависит сохранение здоровья, а часто и жизни людей. Поэтому так важны ваши знания, компетенции, навыки, ваше стремление повышать квалификацию, быть профессиональными, обладать новыми технологиями и методами лечения. Но не менее значимо ваше сердечное, внимательное отношение к пациентам.
📌 От всей души поздравляю с праздником всех, кто трудится в федеральных и региональных медицинских учреждениях, в районных и городских больницах и поликлиниках, в сельских фельдшерско-акушерских пунктах. Кто без промедления выезжает и вылетает к больным, работая в санитарной авиации, в бригадах скорой помощи и МЧС.
❗️ Особые слова благодарности медикам, которые выполняют свой профессиональный долг, участвуя в специальной военной операции, рискуя собой, спасают раненых.
📌 В российском медицинском сообществе сильны традиции преемственности и наставничества, блестящих научных школ, врачебного подвижничества, которое неотделимо от сострадания и душевной щедрости, которую проявляют сегодня в том числе медработники на Донбассе и в Новороссии.
📌 Ещё раз поздравляю с праздником всех наших медицинских работников. Успехов вам и всего самого наилучшего.

✈️ #OTD in 1937, three Soviet aviators set off on the legendary non-stop flight from Moscow to Vancouver via the North Pole. The crew – commander Valery Chkalov, co-pilot Georgy Baidukov and navigator Alexander Belyakov – pursued an ambitious goal: to connect the continents along the shortest route, across the Arctic Ocean, for the first time in history.
🧊 Soviet aircraft designer Andrei Tupolev developed the ANT-25, a single-engine aircraft with an especially wide wingspan, specifically for this endeavour and for other long-haul flights. Due to this design, the plane could take more fuel, and had a better capability to glide.
🧊 The flight took a total of 63 hours and 16 minutes. The Arctic weather with its low temperatures gave the crew the greatest trouble. The ice from the cockpit windows had to be cut off by hand with a sheath knife. Because of the clouds, the crew had to either pilot the plane blindly or change course, and overspent about 300 litres of fuel.
🧊 Initially, the crew planned to land in San Francisco, but due to excessive fuel consumption, it was decided to land in Vancouver. They failed to break the world flight range record, but in less than a month this was achieved by another Soviet crew under the command of Mikhail Gromov.
🧊 Despite this, Valery Chkalov and his crew's flight became a major event in the history of world aviation. It showcased Soviet achievement in advanced aircraft construction, and proved to the whole world the exceptional professionalism and courage of Soviet aviators.
🤝 The feat of the three pilots was widely covered by the press, both in the Soviet Union and in America. US President Franklin D. Roosevelt personally received the crew in the Oval Office of the White House. The transpolar flight contributed to the establishment of friendly relations between the two countries, and paved the way for fruitful cooperation between the USSR and the United States during World War II.

📌 Medical Worker Day is, above all, a professional holiday, but millions of Russians know about it and are delighted to be able to wish doctors, paramedics, nurses and orderlies a happy holiday, tell them how much respect they have for their work, and express their gratitude and admiration
📌 Deep respect for medical workers has always been intrinsic to our society. However, during the most challenging times of the coronavirus pandemic, we had the opportunity to gain a fuller and deeper understanding of the importance of this profession, the kind of dedication the work of medical professionals requires, and how much fortitude and care is needed to save lives and to nurse patients back to good health
📌 Friends, you help people preserve their health and often save human lives. Your knowledge, competencies, skills, your desire to improve your qualifications, to be professional and to use innovative technology and treatment methods are tremendously important. No less significant, though, is your kind and caring attitude to your patients
📌 From the bottom of my heart, I wish a happy holiday to everyone who works at federal and regional medical institutions, district and municipal hospitals and outpatient clinics, at rural paramedic centres, as well as the air ambulance professionals, ambulance teams and Emergencies Ministry specialists who are always there and ready to ride or fly to help patients
❗️ Special words of gratitude go to the doctors who are fulfilling their professional duty as part of the special military operation, risking their lives to save wounded troops
📌 The Russian medical community maintains strong traditions of succession and mentorship, brilliant research schools and devotion to the medical profession, which is inseparable from compassion and generosity of spirit that is also shown today by medical workers in Donbass and Novorossiya
📌 Once again, happy holiday to our medical workers. Good luck and all the best

🎙 Выступление С.В.Лаврова на заседании Комиссии Генсовета партии #ЕдинаяРоссия по международному сотрудничеству и поддержке соотечественников за рубежом
📍 Москва, 19 июня 2023 года
💬 Не прекращается порочная практика вмешательства США во внутренние дела суверенных стран. Формы такого вмешательства самые разнообразные, включая угрозы, шантаж и организацию «цветных революций». Откровенно ставят цель расшатать внутриполитическую стабильность в нашей стране – в контексте президентских выборов 2024 года.
☝️ Но очевидно и то, что магистральной тенденцией современного этапа международных отношений становится укрепление основ многополярности. Нарождающийся многополярный миропорядок отражает естественное, неотъемлемое право народов самим определять свою судьбу.
Наш флагманский внешнеполитический проект – поддержка концепции Большого Евразийского партнёрства. Речь идёт о содействии объективному процессу формирования широкого интеграционного контура, открытого для всех государств и объединений нашего континента.
Имеем в виду по максимуму задействовать потенциал Союзного государства России и Белоруссии, ОДКБ, ЕАЭС, СНГ. Намерены и далее наращивать взаимодействие в рамках таких многосторонних объединений нового типа, как ШОС и БРИКС, чья привлекательность особенно важна для государств Мирового большинства, которые, как и Россия, подвергаются дискриминационным мерам со стороны Запада.
🇷🇺🇺🇳 Продолжим активно работать по линии ООН, где с другими членами Группы друзей в защиту Устава Организации будем добиваться переподтверждения незыблемости фундаментальных норм межгосударственного общения, включая важнейшие принципы суверенного равенства государств и невмешательства в их внутренние дела.
Ещё один приоритет – обеспечение интересов российских граждан и соотечественников за рубежом. Значение работы на этом важнейшем направлении ещё более возрастает из-за беспрецедентного всплеска русофобии на Западе.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answer to a question from the Moscow. Kremlin. Putin programme (June 18, 2023)
❓ Question: Berlin has adopted a new National Security Strategy, which states that Moscow is now the number one threat. Is it possible for a country that participated in the unification of Germany to be that?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: I find it hard to comment on the actions, statements, or documents adopted by today’s German politicians. They are not based either on logic or on the interests of Germany and the German people.
Some time ago, responding to a criticism of Olaf Scholz cabinet’s policy which had led to a major increase in the cost of living and worsening of the socioeconomic situation in the country, Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said her voters were impacted, but the government had to do so for the sake of Ukraine. Berlin keeps saying that it is upholding European values in Ukraine.
If Germany believes that returning to Nazism that is now flourishing in Ukraine is a value, then it’s a very sad and dangerous turn of events.

🇺🇳 19 июня – 14 июля в Женеве состоится 53-я сессия Совета ООН по правам человека (#СПЧ). Предполагается рассмотреть широкий спектр вопросов международной правозащитной повестки дня.
В ходе сессии также состоится представление доклада специального докладчика СПЧ Ашвини К.П. (Индия) о выполнении положений традиционно принимаемой Генеральной Ассамблеей ООН по инициативе Российской Федерации резолюции «Борьба с героизацией нацизма, неонацизмом и другими видами практики, которые способствуют эскалации современных форм расизма, расовой дискриминации, ксенофобии и связанной с ними нетерпимости».
В повестку дня предстоящего мероприятия включено обсуждение ситуации с правами человека в Афганистане, Белоруссии, Венесуэле, Грузии, Иране, Мьянме, Никарагуа, Сирии, Судане, ЦАР, Эритрее, на Украине, а также на оккупированных палестинских территориях.
📅 22 июня «на полях» сессии российской и белорусской делегациями будет организована тематическая дискуссия, посвящённая 75-летию принятия Всеобщей декларации прав человека. В ходе мероприятия состоится первая совместная презентация докладов внешнеполитических ведомств России и Белоруссии о ситуации с правами человека в отдельных странах.
Российские институты гражданского общества планируют провести в режиме онлайн «на полях» сессии мероприятия по тематике нарушений прав человека на Украине и по вопросам дискриминации русскоязычного населения в странах Прибалтики.
🇷🇺 Российская Федерация, которая принимает участие в работе Совета ООН по правам человека в статусе наблюдателя, в ходе его 53-й сессии намерена, как и прежде, активно задействовать свой потенциал в целях преодоления конфронтации и продвижения объединительной повестки дня, а также для формирования у международных партнеров понимания важности налаживания конструктивного международного диалога по вопросам поощрения и защиты прав человека при должном уважении национальных и культурно-исторических особенностей каждого государства.
