⚡️ Western mainstream media & politicians say... these people, who have suffered dearly from Neo-Nazis in Ukraine in the past 8 years are... not real.

They say they're not even people, the media and the broader public pretend that they simply do not exist.

They say these people, the 4 million residents of Donbass and the 13'000 that were killed at the hands of the Kiev regime's shellings are... a FAKE.

Their tragedy continues to be ignored in favour of a constructed fabricated narrative.

But in reality the sole FAKES are the mainstream media itself and those covering for the Neo-Nazis.

Russia is disappointed by the actions of the Polish OSCE Chairmanship-in-Office. Attempts to turn the Organization into a purely anti-Russian forum are inadmissible. We condemn the adoption by Warsaw of arbitrary decisions that run counter to OSCE commitments

We are outraged by the decision of CiO to revoke under far-fetched pretexts the registration of Russian respected NGOs that had planned to take part in the 2 SHDM. We call on CiO to end the use of the OSCE to promote interests of some states and blocks

Россия разочарована действиями польского Действующего председательства в ОБСЕ. Попытки превращения Организации в сугубо антироссийский форум недопустимы. Осуждаем принятие Варшавой волюнтаристских решений, идущих вразрез с обязательствами ОБСЕ

Возмущены решением ДП отозвать под надуманными предлогами регистрацию у российских авторитетных НПО, планировавших принять участие во 2 Допсовещании по человеческом измерению. Призываем ДП прекратить использовать ОБСЕ для продвижения интересов отдельных стран и блоков

«Свидетельством зрелости нашей Организации, её реальной способности адекватно противостоять острым вызовам и угрозам стало успешное проведение ОДКБ миротворческой операции в январе нынешнего года в Казахстане», – отметил глава Российского государства.

Президент России также подчеркнул, что:
«В ходе спецоперации на Украине получены документальные доказательства того, что в непосредственной близости от наших границ по сути создавались компоненты биологического оружия в нарушение Конвенции о запрещении биологического и токсинного оружия, отрабатывались возможные методики и механизмы дестабилизации эпидемической обстановки на постсоветском пространстве».

🎙 FM Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the 30th Assembly of the Council on Foreign and Defence Policy

Read in full

💬 Sergey Lavrov: I would like to congratulate you on the 3️⃣0️⃣th anniversary of the Council on Foreign and Defence Policy. Its activities are a fine example of Russian expert involvement in the foreign policy process.

▫️ We did everything in our power to avoid a direct conflict. But they issued a challenge and we have accepted it.

▫️ We do not remember anything like the current massive and synchronised expulsion of diplomats happening even in the grimmest Cold War years.

▫️ There are no traitors among our diplomats, although such attempts have been made from abroad and within the country.

▫️ The Americans started preparing the current crisis long ago, right after the end of the Cold War, having decided that the way to global hegemony was then open. NATO's eastward expansion has been one of the key components of such a course.

🇷🇺🇱🇻 Commentary of the Russian Embassy in Latvia:

“Unknown individuals, or frankly, criminals and Neo-Nazis, desecrated a memorial stele erected in memory of the Kish Lake crossing by Soviet troops and the liberation of Riga from Nazi invaders in Riga's Mežaparks.

The monument was vandalized in a particularly savage way, the words “liberators” in Russian and Latvian were completely wiped out with a construction tool. The criminals were not even embarrassed by the fact that there are a cafe 15 meters away, and a boat station a little further, where law enforcement officers are regularly on duty.

It should be reminded that every year, as a token of gratitude, the residents of Riga bring many fresh flowers to this monument not only on May 9, but also on October 13, when the Kish Lake crossing and the liberation of the Latvian capital began. At the same time, it has already become a good tradition for local public organizations to hold a historical reconstruction of this significant event every year. Apparently It seems that the memory that goes from one grateful generation to another haunts local nationalists who can only shamefully fight with the monuments of the Soviet era.

The Russian Embassy has sent a corresponding note to the Latvian Foreign Ministry regarding this outrageous incident".

💬 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova: To learn how the West churns out fakes, take a look at our in-depth dissection of their latest one regarding the "Russian threat to food security".

We use only hard facts and statistics - that's our motto ✅

⚠️ Nationalist battalion fighters and AFU units, using civilians as human shields, continue to use civilian infrastructure to equip strongholds and deploy heavy weaponry.

🔹Azov Neo-Nazis battalion:

▫️in Mirnograd, Donetsk People's Republic, kindergarten No 19 in the Vostochnyi Microdistrict and a boarding school on L. Chaikina Street have been equipped with strongholds and barracks, and armoured vehicles and artillery have been placed in close proximity to residential areas;

▫️in Borovaya, Kharkov Region, barracks have been equipped in the school building and the Beryozka kindergarten, and heavy military equipment, artillery and MLRS have been placed on the territories. At the same time, civilians with children are forcibly detained in basements.

🔹Fighters of Aidar battalion:

▫️on the territory of the Church of the Praise of the Mother of God in Pavlograd, Dnepropetrovsk Region, firing positions, artillery and MLRS have been placed in close proximity to densely populated residential areas;

▫️in Zaporozhye, they equipped firing positions and ammunition depots on the lower floors of hospitals on Sobornyi Prospect and Pobedy Street. At the same time, hospital staff and patients are held back as human shield.

🔹Armed formations of the Donbass battalion have equipped a stronghold in residential building No 10 on General Lozanovich Street in Slavyansk in Donetsk People's Republic and deployed heavy weapons and an ammunition depot. However, no civilians were evacuated from the building.

🔹In Sumy, AFU units have mined a road bridge on Kharkovskaya Street over the railway tracks of the Southern Railway branch, which they plan to blow up, blaming it on allegedly "advancing units of Russian troops".

❗️Such actions of the Kiev regime once again demonstrate an inhuman attitude to the fate of Ukrainian citizens and indicate a gross violation of the norms of international humanitarian law, but despite our repeated statements, they still remain without the attention of the international community and international organizations.
