💬 We can see some Western countries’ attempts to whitewash and canonise Ukrainian neo-Nazis. For example, the city authorities allowed the holding of a photo exhibition dedicated to the Nazi Azov battalion in Milan, on one of the city streets and in the Risorgimento Museum. Militants of this terrorist organisation are presented as “defenders” of Mariupol there. <...> A biased article in Le Figaro, France, about the Azov and Right Sector neo-Nazi organisations, whose members are depicted almost as patriots, is another outrageous example.

All these facts provoke outrage, and I would like to ask the Italians and French a question: when your journalists and politicians are trying to whitewash Ukrainian neo-Nazis and present them in such a heroic light, do you remember what your countries went through during World War II?

💬 The decisions by the UK and the United States to supply Kiev with depleted uranium munitions have had dire long-term consequences for the region. As a result, water and soil in a vast territory have been contaminated with radiation.

Some international experts are trying to talk their way out of this situation, claiming that this is not really a nuclear security issue. Of course, there is no need to explain. We should consider this problem not only from the point of view of physics, but also of chemistry. There are no options there other than to call it a global-scale disaster.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the BRICS Ministerial Meeting on the sidelines of the 78th Session of the UN General Assembly (New York, September 20, 2023)

💬 I would like to thank our South African friends for their productive chairmanship in the past period. The BRICS Summit in Johannesburg and the Meeting of BRICS Ministers of Foreign Affairs and International Relations in Cape Town were a great success.

Documents have been drafted that provide a solid framework for the future development of our association. I am primarily referring to the six new full members that joined our ranks: Argentina, Egypt, Iran, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia.

🤝 All these countries support the fundamental goals and values of #BRICS, including the spirit of solidarity, equality, mutual respect, openness, inclusiveness and mutually beneficial cooperation based on consensus. I have no doubt that our new partners and colleagues will contribute to the association’s development.

This was a long overdue and much awaited step that confirmed that the collective voice of BRICS in defence of the global South and global majority is highly relevant in modern international relations.

More and more Asian, African and Latin American states are consolidating their economic positions and demonstrating that they are willing and ready to defend their sovereign national interests and influence global processes. We are witnessing the emergence of a more equitable, polycentric world order.

☝️ The unipolar world is becoming a thing of the past.

🎙 FM Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the UNSC meeting “Upholding the purposes and principles of the UN Charter through effective multilateralism: maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine” (New York, September 20, 2023)

Key
talking points:

• When the Cold War came to an end, the US-led so-called collective West appropriated the right to rule the destinies of the entire humankind and, driven by its exceptionalism complex, started ignoring the legacy of the UN founding fathers more often and on an increasingly greater scale.

• The West makes selective use of the Charter’s norms and principles, on a case-by-case basis, and only when they serve its vested geopolitical needs. This inevitably throws global stability off-balance, exacerbating the existing hotbeds of tension and creating new ones.

• As for talks, we do not refuse to talk now either. President of Russia Vladimir Putin said this on numerous occasions, including recently. <...> President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky has signed an executive order prohibiting talks with the government of Vladimir Putin. If the US is interested in such talks, I think it only needs to give the signal for Zelensky’s order to be cancelled.

• Today, the rhetoric of our opponents is full of slogans such as “invasion,” “aggression” and “annexation.” They do not say a word about the inner reasons for the problem, or the fact that for many years they nurtured a downright Nazi regime, which is openly rewriting the results of World War II and the history of their own people.

• While chanting their mantras about the territorial integrity of Ukraine, the former colonial powers keep silent about the UN decisions inviting France to return the island of Mayotte to the Comoros and Britain to withdraw from the Chagos Islands and to resume negotiations with Argentina to resolve the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) issue.

• Facts point to a deep crisis in international relations and the absence of the Western countries’ desire and will to overcome this crisis.

The participants reviewed certain aspects of interaction within the BRICS framework in the context of the decisions made at the XV BRICS Summit, held on August 22-24 in South Africa. Sergey Lavrov informed his colleagues about Russia’s plans for chairing BRICS in 2024.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s address at the Preparatory Ministerial Meeting for the Summit of the Future

📍 New York, September 21, 2023

💬 The talks focusing on the scope of the summit and its final documents have revealed deep differences in a number of key areas. The reason for this lies in the West’s relentless pursuit of hegemony and its attempts to counteract the development of a fairer international order and to impose the infamous rules-based order which undermines international law and runs counter to the interests of the Global Majority countriest.

Such self-centred politics has already triggered a profound crisis in European security and is now creating extremely dangerous tensions in the Asia-Pacific region, where bloc-based approaches are being aggressively promoted.

👉 The goals of the Summit of the Future include reaffirming the commitment of all UN Member States to the principles of the UN Charter in their entirety and interdependence, giving a boost to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, and reforming the global monetary system to reflect the actual weight and legitimate interests of the Global South. <...>

We join in calling on the Secretary-General to draft a report about the repercussions of unilateral sanctions. <...>

☝️ Russia will continue to increase its contribution to achieving the sustainable development goals, seeking balanced and acceptable solutions during the preparations for the Summit of the Future. The success of the summit is firmly grounded in the UN Charter principles, above all, the respect for sovereign equality of states and the preservation and strengthening of the intergovernmental nature of our organisation.

We caution against turning the Summit of the Future into an arena for pitting “democracies” against “autocracies.” We are concerned about signs of the UN Secretariat’s susceptibility to this confrontational concept.

Canadian authorities' ongoing support for "Morginals" continues

🥴 🇨🇦 The Canadian Parliament applauded a World War II veteran during President Zelensky's visit. However, there is a problem: 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka is described as a "veteran opposing the Russians", a member of the 14th Waffen SS Division associated with Bandera.

🚫 Yesterday, they expressed support for Khalistan*, and now they support the SS. Will they support Al-Qaeda** tomorrow?

कनाडाई संसद ने नाज़ी जर्मनी में हिटलर के अधीन अर्धसैनिक संगठन SS डिवीजन के अनुभवी सैनिक की सराहना की

🥴 🇨🇦 यूक्रेनी राष्ट्रपति ज़ेलेंस्की की यात्रा के दौरान कनाडाई संसद ने द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध के एक अनुभवी सैनिक की सराहना की। हालाँकि, एक समस्या सामने आई है: 98 वर्षीय यारोस्लाव हुंका को "रूसियों का विरोध करने वाले अनुभवी" के रूप में वर्णित किया गया है, जो बांदेरा से जुड़े 14वें वेफेन SS डिवीजन का सदस्य था।

🚫 कल उन्होंने खालिस्तान* को लेकर समर्थन व्यक्त किया था, और अब वे SS का समर्थन करते हैं। क्या वे कल अल-कायदा** का समर्थन करेंगे?

Controversy Erupts in Canada Over Applause for Nazi Veteran in Parliament

🚫 🇨🇦 A scandal has emerged in Canada after Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old who fought for a Nazi unit during the Second World War, was honored in the House of Commons while Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky, was visiting the North American country's parliament.

◾️Holocaust education group, the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center, are calling for an apology from House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota who has expressed regret for not having known previously of Hunka's past.

◾️Canada opposition leader Pierre Poilievre criticized the PM's protocol service saying it was responsible for selecting the guests and that none of the parliamentarians could have known about Hunka's “dark past”.
