Russian Foreign Ministry statement on US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan ⬇️
Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, arrived in Taiwan on August 2. We consider her visit a clear provocation in keeping with the US’s aggressive policy of comprehensive containment of China.
We believe relations between both sides of the Taiwan Strait are exclusively China’s domestic affair. The Chinese side is entitled to take any measures necessary to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity in terms of the Taiwan issue.
Russia's principled position remains unchanged: we operate on the premise that there is only one China, and the PRC government is the only legitimate government representing all of China, and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China.
We call on Washington to refrain from actions, that undermine regional stability and international security, and to recognise the new geopolitical reality, which has no place for US hegemony.

🎙 Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov’s interview with Rossiya Segodnya on the third session of the Open-ended Working Group (OEWG) on security of and in the use of information and communications technologies 2021-2025
Read in full
💬 We insisted on including Russia’s proposal to create a list of contact points for all UN member states in the OEWG report in order to establish feedback between the action agencies, to exchange information about computer incidents, and to overcome differences.
❗️One of the alarming stories is the Western countries’ plan to impose on everyone the reporting mechanisms for compliance with the norms of responsible state behaviour in cyberspace, which have not been agreed upon by the international community. The idea appears to be good, but clearly premature, because these rules are voluntary and non-binding.

🎙 Statement by Mr. Igor Vishnevetskii, Deputy Head of the Russian Delegation at the 10th #NPT Review Conference
💬 The confidence of the NPT states parties in IAEA safeguards is a key factor in the sustainability of the entire nuclear non-proliferation system.
We believe that the basic principles of the IAEA safeguards system should remain:
✅ objectivity,
✅ technical objectivity,
✅ consistency with the safeguards agreements concluded between states and the IAEA.
☝️ The presumption of innocence and respect for sovereignty remain legitimate rights of all NPT states parties, and the application of safeguards should take this fully into account.

❗️The Ukrainian side continues to terrorize civilian population of the Republic with massive strikes on residential areas and civilian infrastructure, which cause no danger and are not military targets.

💥The areas of 13 settlements of the Republic were under shelling. As a result of the Ukrainian aggression 2 civilians were killed and 14 were injured. 47 residential buildings and 7 infrastructure facilities were damaged.
⚠️Additional information about the injured civilians and damage to infrastructure is being specified.
❗️The joint actions of the military personnel of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation destroyed the following enemy weapons and military equipment: a tank, 2 cargo vehicles, a field depot and more than 30 personnel. 4 enemy firing positions were suppressed in the areas of Peski.

⚡️ The Russian Ministry of Defence continues to analyse the military and biological activities of the US and its allies in Ukraine and elsewhere in the world in the light of new information obtained in the liberated territories.
READ IN FULL
Key points
☣️ Work continues on the study of biological samples from Ukrainian soldiers who have voluntarily laid down their arms.
Particular attention should be paid to the discovery of narcotic drugs, including opioids such as methadone, codepsin, codeterp, as well as ephedrine-type substances: t-phedrine and tri-phedrine, at positions abandoned by Ukrainian military personnel.
A side effect of such addictive drugs is primarily excessive aggression, which explains the extreme cruelty towards civilians displayed by some Ukrainian servicemen, as well as the shelling of towns in Donbass.
☣️ A few weeks ago, during the special military operation, Rubezhnoye in Lugansk People's Republic was liberated. Documents have been found in the laboratory of the Pharmbiotest medical centre, confirming that research had been carried out in Ukraine for several years on behalf of the so-called Big Pharma.
☣️ We are considering the possibility that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was involved in the emergence of the new coronavirus. Since 2009, the agency has funded the Predict programme, which has investigated new species of coronaviruses by capturing bats that carry the viruses. One of the contractors for the project was Metabiota, a company known for its military-biological activities in Ukraine.
❗️ We see a clear trend: infectious disease agents that reach the Pentagon's zone of interest are subsequently pandemic, with US pharmaceutical companies and their patrons, the leaders of the US Democratic Party, as the beneficiaries.
☣️ US impunity has contributed to the continued use of bioweapons technology by Washington in Latin America, including the assassination of undesirable politicians.
On July 18, 2022, the President of the Republic of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, publicly declared the involvement of the United States in the assassination of former head of state Hugo Chávez.
According to information available to Venezuela, U.S. security services have been working since 2002 on possible ways to eliminate the Venezuelan leader, who has pursued an active anti-American policy. Numerous assassination attempts involving members of the US embassy in Caracas were uncovered and thwarted.
A causal link between the Venezuelan leader's death and the development of biological weapons is confirmed by forensic evidence and the testimony of Cuban doctors who treated Chavez about the atypical course of the disease and its resistance to the use of medicines.

❗️We note the special cynicism of the Kiev regime criminals, who hastened to assure the world community of their alleged non-involvement in today's tragedy.
⚠️ Let's remind Ukrainian criminals, and all those who unconditionally believe them, that NATO weapons of 155 mm caliber, which they boast in Ukraine, have repeatedly been used against civilians of Donbass precisely and exclusively by the AFU.
✅ The military experts of the JCCC documented all the necessary facts for irrefutable proof of artillery fire precisely from the positions of the AFU located in the area of Karlovka, and precisely with the use of NATO-style weapons of 155 mm caliber.
Area of responsibility: 56th Motorized Infantry Brigade, commander - Colonel Sergey Anatolievich Sirchenko. Artillery Commander of the 56th Motorized Infantry Brigade - Colonel Artem Yurievich Puchkov.
🆘 At the moment, the number of victims as a result of the shelling of the Voroshilovsky district is 13 people (8 were killed, 5 were injured).
🆘 Killed: women born in 1973, 1961, 1956, girl born in 2010, men born in 1995, 1997

❗️Amnesty International accuses Ukraine of violating international law
Ukrainian troops violate international legal norms and military law by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including schools and hospitals in cities and putting civilians at risk, according to a report by the human rights organization Amnesty International.
💬 “We have documented a pattern of Ukrainian forces putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war when they operate in populated areas… Being in a defensive position does not exempt the Ukrainian military from respecting international humanitarian law”, - General Secretary of the organization Agnes Callamard.
❗️The report notes that Ukraine violates not only military law, but also international humanitarian law.

❗️ On August 6, 1945, the A-bombing of #Hiroshima took place - the ultimate barbaric and inhumane act of cruelty.
A city full of civilians, women and children was annihilated in a flash by a devastating nuclear attack carried out by the US.
80'000+ victims perished instantaneously.
💬 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: On this day, the terrible death of innocent civilians strikes a chord with millions of people on our planet. The United States was the first and only country to use this type of weapons of mass destruction.
We need to eliminate the risk of military confrontation between the nuclear powers and rule out the possibility of a nuclear war. We firmly believe that such a war cannot be won and must never be unleashed. We suggest that all nuclear powers officially confirm their commitment to this tenet.
