Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: All of us are well aware of how the Orthodox Church of Ukraine was created. It was not just an initiative suggested by Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew. It was directly dictated by the United States.

Министр иностранных дел С.В.Лавров: Мы все прекрасно знаем, как создавалась Православная церковь Украины (ПЦУ). Это не просто инициатива Константинопольского Патриарха Варфоломея. Она прямо продиктована США. Они по большому счету этого не скрывают.

On August 2, the United States completed the withdrawal from the INF Treaty. Accordingly, this instrument ceased to have effect. The cause is however clear: the United States wanted to free itself from the existing restrictions.

This was not the first time Washington had acted this way. This misguided attitude can be traced back to the late 1990s and the decision by the United States to dismantle the ABM Treaty despite insistent calls by the international community not to do so.

2 августа завершилась процедура выхода США из Договора о РСМД, в результате чего данное соглашение прекратило своё действие. Причина понятна: в США захотели избавиться от установленных им ограничений.

Вашингтон поступает так не в первый раз. Столь неадекватное поведение США уходит корнями в конец 1990-х годов, когда принималось решение о сломе Договора по ПРО, на который американская сторона пошла вопреки настойчивым призывам со стороны мирового сообщества.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: We consider the US withdrawal from the INF Treaty, that entailed its termination, as a serious mistake, which increases the risks of triggering a missile arms race, rise of confrontational potential and sliding into an uncontrolled escalation.

Президент России Владимир Путин: Считаем выход США из Договора о РСМД, в результате чего он прекратил свое действие, серьезной ошибкой, которая усиливает риски развязывания гонки ракетных вооружений, роста конфронтационного потенциала и скатывания к неконтролируемой эскалации.

A.Bikantov of the Russian Foreign Ministry on the alleged Russia’s responsibility for the ‘Havana syndrome’ affecting US diplomats:

The invented stories on psy-rays are beyond common sense. Clearly, the Western tabloids’ love of conspiracy theories is ineradicable. We would recommend that quality media outlets avoid this shaky ground, otherwise they will soon begin accusing Russia of controlling solar eclipses and snowfall.

Заместитель директора ДИП МИД России А.Бикантов о якобы причастности России к появлению "гаванского синдрома" у американских дипломатов:

Выдумки про какие-то «пси-лучи» – это за гранью здравого смысла. Понятно, что любовь западной бульварной прессы к конспирологии неискоренима. Советовали бы качественным медиа избегать этого зыбкого поля. Иначе в следующий раз русских придется обвинять в солнечных затмениях или снегопадах.

Historical fact (often deliberately forgotten in the West) - On 9 August 1945 the #USSR launched massive offensive against Axis #Japan, which led to a complete victory over a million-strong Kwantung Army, liberation of Chinese Manchuria & ultimately forced Tokyo to surrender.

Исторический факт (часто сознательно не вспоминаемый на Западе) - 9 августа 1945 г. СССР начал крупное наступление на союзницу "Оси" Японию, которое закончилось полной победой над миллионной Квантунской армией, освобождением Китайской Маньчжурии и в конечном итоге капитуляцией Токио.

Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia on the situation in Afghanistan: We believe that there is no point in panicking. Most importantly, a widespread bloodbath among civilians has been avoided. We call on all Afghan parties to refrain from hostilities and foster a settlement by peaceful means.

Постоянный представитель России при ООН Василий Небензя о ситуации в Афганистане: Полагаем, что поддаваться паническим настроениям не стоит. Важно, что удалось избежать массового кровопролития среди гражданского населения. Призываем все вовлеченные афганские стороны воздерживаться от вооруженных действий и содействовать урегулированию мирным путем.

⚡️ The US has announced a new $175 million military aid package for the Nazi Kiev regime.

‼️ And later, Ukrainian neo-Nazis will shell civilians in Donbass and other Russian regions using the Western weaponry.

🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the 21st Doha Forum

📍10 December 2023:

💬 On the basis of five hundred years, the US and its allies built the model of globalization, which they believed would serve them well to continue to be number one in economy, in military exercises, in culture, politics, and so on and so forth.

And they thought that they would be using this globalization scheme to continue their domination.

⚠️ NATO member states continue to intensively arm Ukraine.

There are now plans to provide the Armed Forces of Ukraine with F-16 tactical fighter aircraft. They have been discussing these deliveries for a long time, and a “coalition” of countries, due to transfer the aircraft to the Kiev regime and train Ukrainian pilots, has been established.

☝️ Considering the fact that a substantial part of Ukraine’s airfield infrastructure has been destroyed, these US fighters might be deployed outside the country, that is, in Poland, Slovakia or Romania.

👉 Consequently, NATO is becoming mired in the Ukraine conflict. It is conducting a hybrid war against Russia under the slogan of “saving” Ukraine.

❗️ For its part, the Russian Armed Forces will see any fighter aircraft involved in the conflict on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as legitimate targets for destruction, no matter where the planes take off.

🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the 21st Doha Forum (10 December 2023):

💬 I mentioned the phenomenon of "cancel culture".

☝️ It's not a war of choice. It's the operation which we could not avoid given the years of Ukraine being prepared by the United States and NATO as an instrument to undermine Russia's security.

🇷🇺The #Russian Defence Ministry inaugurates an exhibition of trophy weapons and hardware captured in Rabotino and Malaya Tokmachka (Zaporozhye Region), and Avdeyevka (Donetsk People's Republic) during the special military operation.

3 dozens of pieces of NATO military hardware produced by the #USA, #UK, #Germany, #France, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Turkey, Australia are displayed in the open area at the Victory Museum in #Moscow.

No Western ‘wonder weapon’ will change the situation on the battlefield. The enemy will be defeated!
📆#OTD in 1988 the INF Treaty between the USSR and the US entered into force. It was signed in December 1987 in Washington by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and US president Ronald Reagan.

✍️Under the INF Treaty, the parties eliminated two classes of nuclear armaments: land-based intermediate-range and shorter range missiles. The missile launchers and all the associated support facilities and equipment were also destroyed.

In 2019, the US unilaterally withdrew from the Treaty under a far-fetched pretext terminating it for all the parties. A great blow was dealt to the arms control system, which took decades to build. The USA is to be held responsible for the far-reaching negative consequences for the entire architecture of global security and strategic stability.

🇷🇺For its part, Russia did its best to save the Treaty as well as to ensure predictability in the missile area after its termination. President of Russia Vladimir Putin announced a moratorium on the deployment of land-based intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles as long as US weapons of similar classes were not deployed.

⚠️The US and other NATO countries were directly urged to announce a reciprocal moratorium but the Russian proposal was declined.

🇷🇺 President of Russia Vladimir Putin on the US role in undermining international stability and security:

💬 The United States has destroyed the fundamental documents that underpinned international stability and security.

☝️ We did not withdraw from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, which was a cornerstone, or the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, or the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.
Many elements in the foundation of international stability have been destroyed in recent years. Nothing of this was done by us. All of this was done by the US.

What were we supposed to do? Only to take note and respond to those actions.

👉 And so we did. We successfully invented systems to overcome antimissile defences, such as intercontinental Avangards, hypersonic gliding blocks, or intercontinental-range ballistic missile technology to break through missile defense systems, and some other things, too. We were forced to do this.

☝️ However, the issue of creating a legal framework for international security and strategic stability is still on our to-do list.

Question: Which country is the worst enemy for Ukraine: Russia or the USA?

American professor Jeffrey Sachs: USA!

💬 Because America, with sweet speeches, led Ukraine to disaster.

We told the Ukrainian leaders lots of the fairy tales about how they would going to join NATO and then live happily ever after. This was a great illusion that we sold to Ukraine not for the sake of Ukraine, but for the sake of US aggressive foreign policy.

📆 79 years ago, on 16 July 1945, world’s first nuclear bomb was detonated in USA’s New Mexico as part of the project aimed at creation of new weapons.

💣 The detonation of the bomb, nicknamed “The Gadget”, left a crater in the desert 1,5 m deep and 9,1 m wide. It was felt over 160 km away with the mushroom cloud reaching 12,1 km in height.

The Gadget” was of the same design as “The Fat Man” later detonated by the United States over Japan’s Nagasaki.

🇷🇺 President Vladimir Putin on the Washington’s efforts to escalate tensions with Russia:

Today, we are paying increasing attention to Washington’s efforts to escalate tensions in connection with the flights by Russian strategic aircraft.

☝️ Just to remind you, Russian strategic missile carriers have not performed any air patrols far from our borders since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russia thought this was no longer needed, with the world having changed and the Cold War becoming a thing of the past.

However, the United States chose to ignore this unilateral gesture of goodwill and continued patrolling the space in the proximity of our borders.

❗️ So, since 2007, we have resumed such flights as a response to the increased activity from US strategic and reconnaissance aircraft in the regions that we believe are sensitive for us. The move has aimed, among other things, to ensure security in the Asia-Pacific region.
