➖In work of OSCE Project Coordinator in 🇺🇦 Ukraine, nothing has remained of #OSCE itself - in such conditions we don’t see any reason for extending mandate of PCU.
➖Report of OSCE Project Co-ordinator in #Ukraine leaves feeling that his work is carried out in a mythical prosperous country where human rights are respected & democratic institutions function, and he only helps to correct minor shortcomings. ❌It's not like that
❗️In absence of proper response from OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Ukraine to Kiev’s violation of its commitments we conclude that work of this structure has become detached from its tasks
➖Return of 🇺🇦Ukraine to path of compliance with commitments seems not to have been at all part of work of PCU - instead only one “product” was consistently delivered - a decent picture of “Kiev’s progress” in democracy development, respect for human rights & rule of law

Situation in 🇺🇦Ukraine is most vivid illustration of the crisis of confidence that has matured in recent years in the all-European space.
Today neo-Nazism has raised its head in #OSCE space - most egregious example is #Ukraine, where neo-Nazi groups from Ukrainian armed formations, using weapons supplied by NATO countries, continue to attack civilians
Defenders of #Donbass republics are fighting for right to live safely in their homeland, to preserve & develop their culture, language and traditions. The task of completely liberating these territories from occupying 🇺🇦 Ukrainian armed formations will certainly be completed
❗️ Blatant double standards used by "collective West" in support of 🇺🇦 Kiev regime only convince people of Donbass and citizens of all Russia of fairness & rightness of the case to protect #DPR and #LPR from Ukrainian aggression
❌Steps taken by Kiev regime, which can be described as “cultural and linguistic genocide”, clearly do not fit into “European values”

🚨Read the extracts from the statement of Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the OSCE Alexander Volgarev “To the report of the OSCE High Commissioner for National Minorities Kairat Abdrakhmanov”, (meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 7 July 2022):
🔹We are disappointed with the assessments, attitudes and interpretations of the root causes and objectives of Russia's compelled special military operation in #Ukraine contained in the report of the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities
🔹It’s true that it’s a war in #Ukraine over the past 8 years - a disgusting war against its own population elevated by the Kyiv regime to the rank of state policy, which has become one of the main causes of the current crisis in Ukraine
🔹For many years, with the active support of #US, #EU, as well as other Western countries, violence was promoted in #Ukraine, Russophobia and hatred for everything Russian, including Russian-speaking citizens of the country, were cultivated
🔹Since 2017, #Ukraine has been aggressively imposing the Ukrainian language. It has been forbidden to use any language other than Ukrainian in the field of education, the public sector, the media, in the service sector.
🔹Kiev continues its Russophobic exercise. A ban was introduced on education in Russian, the import of Russian books, and the study of Russian literature. Total Ukrainization now extends to the film industry, cultural events and the media
🔹We are concerned about the legislative initiatives of Riga in the spheres of education and historical memory. Amendments to the laws "On Education" and "On General Education" will lead to the assimilation of the Russian-speaking population of this country
🔹We are surprised by the absence of mention of Estonia in the report of OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities. The Estonian language is being imposed there, the shameful phenomenon of mass statelessness and discrimination on the basis of language in the sphere of work persist, etc
🔹The HCNM needs to pay special attention to the situation in the USA and Canada, as well as other countries „to the West of Vienna”

⭕️Read extracts from the statement of Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the OSCE Maxim Buyakevich “8 years and 6 months of suffering and devastation in Donbass and in Ukraine as a result of delinquent neo-colonial policies of the western alliance in the OSCE area”,( special meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 24 August 2022):
🎙Current nominal leaders of the Kiev regime deceived their people by abusing public trust.
⚫ Present-day Ukraine is in no way independent - after a bloody armed coup d'état organized from abroad in February 2014, external control was established over this country
🔴By contributing to active militarization of #Ukraine, NATO countries have for years formed a springboard for creating threats to neighboring states and destabilizing situation on pan-European continent
Ukraine has been openly prepared for 💣 war for 8 years - former nominal leaders of the Kiev regime, as well as officials in Washington publicly confirm it today
By promoting ideological basis for turning Ukraine into “anti-Russia”, NATO countries eventually stopped hiding their main goal: to make this country an instrument in their geopolitical struggle with 🇷🇺Russia
✴Ukraine was stubbornly integrated - as one of its elements - into the architecture of the global "empire of lies" that spread with the filling of the Western alliance
Neo-Nazi formations in Ukraine are still supplied w/ weapons, equipment & medicines by NATO countries, as they profess Russophobia & aim at physical destruction of dissent in Ukraine and committing armed crimes on Russian territory
❗On 20 August 20 a public figure and journalist Darya Dugina was vilely murdered - despite international outcry, OSCE leadership and its executive structures remain silent on her murder. This is cynical & shamefully

Key points
#Ukraine
🔹 The United States and its allies are ready to sacrifice Ukraine for the sake of their geopolitical goals. Washington is not interested in establishing peace and tranquillity in Ukraine.
#RussiaUS
🔹 The Russian-American interstate dialogue has been practically frozen owing the United States. It is objectively not possible to maintain normal communication with Washington declaring the strategic defeat of Russia as an objective.
#Sanctions
🔹 Unilateral restrictive measures have failed to shatter the Russian economy. Moreover, the sanctions have appeared to be a two-edge weapon: increasing prices and decreasing incomes are seen in many European countries, as well as energy shortages and threats of social upheavals.
#RussiaChina
🔹 Strategic partnership with China remains an absolute foreign policy priority for Russia. Together with our Chinese friends, we will keep working on improving the world situation, facilitate the creation of a just multi-polar system based on the UN Charter, and, first of all, on the fundamental principle of the sovereign equality of states.
#WorldOrder
🔹 The modern world is no longer West-centred. Today, strong, independent players from developing countries have emerged and they are increasingly visible. These states and their integration associations do not want to participate in the anti-Russian "crusade" instigated from Washington.

💬 The current situation is a direct result of the actions of the "collective West" in #Ukraine 🇺🇦 , where since 2014 they have nurtured and maintained a bloody puppet regime, the essence of which does not depend on the change of faces of nominal leaders
💬 Russia's 🇷🇺 main goal is not to allow undermining European and global security through the situation in #Ukraine 🇺🇦 , whose inhabitants have been de facto turned into "cannon fodder" by the countries of the #Western alliance
💬 In its confrontation with #Russia 🇷🇺, the #Western alliance does not shun the dirtiest methods. Another staging about some "mass murders" in #Izium is being spun - despite the initial testimonies of journalists and local residents that nothing like this happened
💬 Ukrainian 🇺🇦 formations use 💣 weapons supplied by #NATO countries to shell civilian targets. On September 19, #French 🇫🇷 155-mm self-propelled guns "Caesar" attacked a bus stop in #Donetsk , killing at least 13 people, including 2 children. Where is the reaction of the #OSCE CiO and SG?
💬 The West's indifference to the value of human life in the #DPR and #LPR, in the #Kherson and #Zaporozhie regions is pushing the inhabitants of these regions to take decisive steps to determine their future. #Russia 🇷🇺 will respect their democratic will
💬 #Russia 🇷🇺 has never shut itself off from a mutually respectful dialogue based on equality and mutual consideration of interests. Opportunities for meaningful, result-oriented discussions, including in the #OSCE, still remain

🎙 Read excerpts from statement of Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the OSCE Alexander Volgarev «On the reports of the three personal representatives Chairman-in-Office on tolerance and non- discrimination»(meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 22 September 2022)
💬 We are deeply disappointed by the activities of the three Personal Representatives of the CiO on combating intolerance and discrimination. Their one-sided interpretations of events in #Ukraine do not stand up to criticism and go beyond their mandates
💬 Until recently they were not particularly interested in the situation in #Ukraine. Although year after year we have called in vain for attention to the rise of neo-Nazism promoted by the Kiev regime and the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church
💬 The credibility of the content of several joint press releases by the three Personal representatives raises many questions and may be perceived as deliberately spreading misinformation
💬 Anti-Semitism is a growing problem in the #OSCE area. It is often accompanied by neo-Nazism, the glorification of Nazism, indulged by authorities of a number of countries, such as the #Baltic States and #Poland
💬 #OSCE participating States are not free from anti-Islamic manifestations either. This phenomenon is on the rise in, for example, the USA, France and Denmark. Anti-immigrant sentiments in the EU are regularly recorded reports by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights
💬 We call on the three Personal Representatives for tolerance and non-discrimination to comply with the concepts endorsed by all #OSCE pS and not to promote confrontational ideas and approaches of Western alliance countries

❗️Now the leadership of #Ukraine is rejoicing at the terrorist attack, making statements admiring the blast. The State Post Office promises to issue a thematic stamp. The terrorist essence and toxicity of the Kyiv regime are obvious, but the West continues to make "heroes" out of them

🚫 Representatives of the #NATO countries in the #OSCE also did not condemn a series of terrorist attacks in #Russia, planned in October by the Ukrainian special services. This is very telling about who and what #Russia is actually fighting against, and who dirtyly uses the people of #Ukraine as expendable material and "cannon fodder"

☢️ At today's meeting of the #OSCE Permanent Council, we shared the information of the Russian Defense Ministry about the preparation by the #Kievregime of a provocation with the use of a "dirty bomb"
☝️ The hysterical reaction of Ukrainian and Western opponents spoke for itself: For them, Zelensky’s nuclear ambitions are also a tool to destabilize regional security by creating new threats to #Ukraine's neighbors
❗️ The use of a "dirty bomb" in current events in #Ukraine can only be beneficial for foreign handlers of the #Kievregime. They are looking for a pretext to openly interfere militarily with #NATO forces
⚡️ Threats to use #NATO's military potential against #Russia have become noticeably more frequent - from EU top diplomat J.Borrell to American generals and others. This is a dangerous "playing with fire" which escalates tensions
🤚 At the meeting of the #OSCE Permanent Council on October 27, Russia called on the #Kievregime's handlers in the West to keep it from dangerous provocations and terrorist acts

🔹 The reason for the current serious security crisis in the pan-European space is the result of the confrontational path chosen by a number of #NATO countries long before February 2022
🔹 #OSCEPA Predsident Cederfelt is far from being objective: she hushes up crimes committed by the #Kievregime, talking instead about so-called "Russia's attack on human rights and fundamental freedoms"
🔹 Discriminatory non-admission of Russian parliamentarians to #OSCEPA events doesn't contribute to multilateral cooperation, improvement of the situation & rapprochement of positions

🎙Read excerpts from the statement of Russian Deputy Permanent Representative of to the OSCE Maxim Buyakevich “On International Humanitarian Law in the OSCE region”
💬 The declared commitment to #IHL by a number of #OSCE countries raises reasonable doubts - their geopolitical adventures in recent years in the OSCE area and beyond suggest otherwise
◽️Widespread violations of international humanitarian law in #Ukraine did not begin in 2022, but in April 2014 with the launch of the military operation to forcefully suppress political dissent in #Donbass by the post-Maidan #Kievregime
◽️Behind the loud rhetoric defending #IHL and Helsinki principles, many Western #OSCE participating States seek to cover up their share of responsibility for encouraging their longstanding violations in #Ukraine
❗️We demand a principled response to the killing and torture of Russian servicemen in #Ukraine - we are outraged that these obvious crimes in violation of #IHL norms do not find a proper reaction from the #OSCE leadership

🎙 Read excerpts from the statement of Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the OSCE Maxim Buyakevich “On the ongoing crimes by the Kiev regime and dangerous policies of the western alliance to exacerbate tensions” (meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 26 January 2023)
💬 For Russians, German "Leopards" in #Ukraine, no doubt, evoke obvious historical analogies. German tanks in Ukraine will follow the fate of their predecessors of 1941-1945: they will be burnt on the battlefield
🇩🇪 On January 25 in #Strasbourg, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock publicly confirmed that the collective West is now "fighting a war against Russia." It is now obvious to everyone that aggression against Russia has been planned&prepared for a long time
🇺🇸 #US and #NATO now approached a dangerous point. Their persistent course towards escalation in military confrontation in #Ukraine is a direct path to a full-scale military conflict in #Europe

🎙 Excerpts from the answers to media questions by President of Russia Vladimir Putin following his official visit to Kyrgyzstan and #CIS summit events.
#Moldova
💬 President Putin: The current political elite [of Moldova] do not regard themselves as Moldovans. They say they are Romanians and have dual citizenship. <...> I do not understand entirely what advantages Moldova would have if it pursued other development paths. <...>
We have heard recently that Moldova declined to purchase Russian gas. But it turns out, it did not, and is successfully receiving it now. And where else would they get it from? Not to mention for the prices Russia’s Gazprom offered, and we accommodated them in terms of pricing.
#SouthernCaucasus
🇦🇲 Armenia recognised that Nagorno-Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan. <...> They even referred to the 1991 treaty when the state borders of the former Soviet republics were defined as coinciding with the borders they had within the USSR. That’s it, the matter is closed.
#RussiaKyrgyzstan
🇷🇺🇰🇬 The establishment of the joint air defence system [with Kyrgyzstan] is a very important endeavour, especially bearing in mind that these are high-tech and expensive elements of the security of all our countries. Everyone expressed the desire to develop this security component.
#MiddleEast
🇵🇸🇮🇱 Palestine was once promised that a Palestinian state would be established with East Jerusalem as its capital. Decisions were taken at the UN level. They have the right to expect these promises to be kept. All of this taken together should be addressed and we should think about the people who are not to blame for the current escalation.
Russia can [assist], because we have very good relations with Israel, and we have traditionally good relations with Palestine.
#Ukraine
❗️ I do not doubt that weapons are being illegally taken out of Ukraine. The scale of corruption in Ukraine is is very high; many are seeking to buy on the black market and there are many in Ukraine seeking to sell weapons.

‼️Malta continues the predecessors' course of one-sided and biased assessments of the situation in #Ukraine. The OSCE Secretary General has blatantly taken the side of the criminal regime in Kiev, without a word of condemnation of the barbaric missile attacks in Belgorod, which resulted in the deaths of dozens of civilians, including children.
‼️In this way, Malta and #OSCE Secretariat are continuing their course towards the forced collapse of the Organization's platform, flouting their mandates.
