🔔Extracts from the statement of Russian Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich “On the continuing gross violations of the Russian and Russian-speaking population in some OSCE participating States”(meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 28 April 2022):
👉🏻The shameful phenomenon of Russophobia has become an integral part of new reality in a number of OSCE pS. Everything related to Russia is being enthusiastically eradicated, rights & freedoms of Russian/Russian-speaking population, incl. children, are flagrantly violated.
👉🏻#UN and #OSCE human rights bodies do not react properly to these blatant cases of discrimination and racism when people are persecuted simply due to their origin, language or culture
👉🏻The unfolding Russophobia has many ugly manifestations and affects almost all spheres of life, including historical memory. Barbarous dismantling of monuments takes place “on camera”, war graves are desecrated etc.
👉🏻A terrible picture is observed in Poland, where only 100 out of 561 monuments remain. Desecration and vandalism against the Soviet military memorial heritage continue continue in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia
👉🏻We call on the OSCE executive structures to give a principled assessment of the flourishing of Russophobia, and on OSCE pS to stop neglecting their commitments and to really counter discrimination against the Russian/ Russian-speaking population

🇷🇺🇫🇷📞 President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron.
The Russian President informed his French counterpart about the progress of the special military operation to protect the Donbass republics, including the liberation of Mariupol and the evacuation of the civilians retained by nationalists at the Azovstal plant, with the evacuation proceeding as agreed during the April 26 meeting between Vladimir Putin and #UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
During the conversation, it was noted that the #EU member countries ignore the crimes committed by the Ukrainian forces, and massive shelling of cities and communities in the Donbass region resulting in civilian casualties. The West could help stop these atrocities by influencing the Kiev government, as well as stopping arms deliveries to Ukraine, Vladimir Putin pointed out.
The two Presidents agreed to maintain contacts at various levels.

‼️Extracts from the statement of Russian Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich “On ongoing crimes by Ukraine against civilian population with the support of Western alliance of OSCE participating States”, (meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 5 may 2022):
🔹Ukrainian armed nationalistic battalions & Ukrainian Armed Forces on orders of Kiev continue to commit mass crimes against civilian population of DPR & LPR, in liberated cities in south-east of Ukraine and in territories occupied by Ukrainian military
🔹By joint humanitarian efforts of 🇷🇺Russia and #UN, with involvement of relevant NGOs, it was possible to convince Ukrainian side to allow civilians to safely leave the territory of Azovstal and nearby houses
🔹Calls to militants on territory of Azovstal to lay down their arms thus saving their lives are stubbornly ignored. Nationalists showed their true attitude towards civilian hostages, offering to exchange them for food and medicine
🔹Kiev regime continues to defiantly get closer to armed nationalists, incl. nationalistic formations, which account for hundreds of military punitive attacks in DPR and LPR, as well as acts of intimidation on territory of Ukraine
🔹With Western direct support 🇺🇦 Kiev regime continues to systematically violate intl humanitarian law. This is done in order to inflict damage on civilian population and attribute everything to actions of Russian military, to denigrate 🪖🇷🇺 Russian armed forces
🔹Kiev regime bets on creating threats for neighboring states, further militarization, support of aggressive nationalism, and refuses diplomatic contacts in order to resolve the situation
🔹Actions of Kiev regime since 2014 show that its representatives want to quickly get rid of everything that reminds of 🇺🇦 Ukraine liberation from Nazi invaders & victory of Soviet people over Nazism in #WorldWarII
🔹Full-scale campaign to monuments’ demolition and other evidence of the struggle against Nazism, as well as glorification of Nazi criminals at state level is underway in Ukraine
🔹NATO countries, continuing dangerous militarization of 🇺🇦Ukraine, use its territory as a testing ground for the disposal of weapons and ammunition that have long expired
🔹Washington doesn’t hide true goal of its policy on #Ukraine - to inflict on Russia by the hands of Ukrainian nationalists “strategic defeat” in the region, i.e. undermine Russian statehood, hinder its sustainable development
