#OTD in 1968, 53 years ago, Massacre of Songmy took place - a mass murder of unarmed Vietnamese civilians committed by #US troops. This atrocious war crime became one of the most shocking ones after WWII - it claimed lives of 504 innocent people, 210 of them were children: 50 — below the age of 3, 69 — from 4 to 7 years old, 91 — from 8 to 12 years old.
Only one US officer was convicted for committing this crime - William Calley, yet he was pardoned after serving three years of house arrest

President #Putin: The #US is the only country in the world to ever use nuclear weapons, moreover, against a non-nuclear state - #Japan. From military, strategic standpoint it was senseless. It was a massacre against civilians

Президент России В.В.Путин: Соединенные Штаты - единственная страна в мире, которая применила ядерное оружие, причем против неядерного государства: против Японии. Никакого, абсолютно никакого военного смысла в этом не было. Это было прямое истребление гражданского населения

#OTD in 1999 - on the day #NATO started bombing Yugoslavia – Prime Minister of #Russia, Yevgeny #Primakov, cancelled his official visit to #US by making the historic U-turn over the Atlantic when he had learned about the US aggression. This came down in history as #PrimakovLoop

24 марта 1999 года, в день, когда НАТО начало бомбардировку Югославию, Председатель Правительства Российской Федерации Е.М.Примаков, узнав об агрессии США, отменил свой официальный визит в США, совершив исторический "разворот над Атлантикой". Этот разворот вошел в историю как "Петля Примакова"

#OTD in 1945, US A-bombed the city of #Hiroshima, full of civilians, incl women & children. This criminal act had no military significance, as #Japan was already doomed to a defeat. To this day, the #US remains the only country to ever use nuclear weapon.

В этот день в 1945 г. Соединенные Штаты подвергли атомной бомбардировке г.Хиросима со всеми мирными жителями, женщинами и детьми. Этот преступный шаг не имел никакого военного значения, поскольку Япония была уже обречена на поражение. До сегодняшнего дня США остаются единственной страной в мире, применившей ядерное оружие.

Watch the video footage of Allies' joint parade on 7 September 1945. This alone serves as an irrefutable proof that we fought on the same side against the universal evil that is Nazism.

7 сентября 1945 года страны Антигитлеровской коалиции (#СССР, #США, #Великобритания, #Франция) провели исторический совместный парад в Берлине в честь Победы над нацизмом. История не должна быть переписана! #МыПомним, что мы сражались, победили и спасли мир вместе.
Предлагаем вашему вниманию видео парада 7 сентября 1945 года. Одни эти кадры хроники служат неопровержимым доказательством, что против вселенского зла, коим нацизм и является, мы сражались плечом к плечу.

It looks more like US President is warning the allies of the date of possible US-masterminded provocation with the use of military force in Ukraine.

#Ukraine
▪️ I often talk about this, but today I will show you several fragments of NATO munitions we have received from the Defence Ministry of Russia. These horrible “postcards” are designed for those in the EU and NATO countries who believe that their taxes and free donations serve the cause of peace. Look at them. There’s children’s blood on them, the blood of innocent civilians. These munitions were bought, produced and transported with the money of people in the EU countries who talk about peace every day and believe that this is important. Is the EU paying for this kind of peace? Is this the peace that EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell regards as ideal? Is this the peace the Western NGOs and media organisations are talking about?
#US
▪️ On August 24, the Global Engagement Centre at the US Department of State published a bulletin, The Kremlin’s War Against Ukraine’s Children, which contains a streak of absurd accusations against Russia relating to the issue of children. This is not just a piece of rampant misinformation distorting facts; it is in fact a terrible Goebbels-style fake narrative. Russia has never hidden what it has been doing in the interests of Ukrainian children who ended up in our territory. On behalf of President Vladimir Putin, most of the work in this area is being carried out by Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova, who regularly reports to the public, including the international community, on the situation regarding children evacuated from the war zone.

#Ukraine
• This far-fetched effort to support the Russian language scared neo-Nazi MPs to the extent that they drafted an even harsher law targeting the Russian language, and the Verkhovna Rada approved it on December 8, 2023. Vladimir Zelensky signed it the same day.
They have demonstrated all this haste in their legislative efforts not because they care for ethnic minority rights so much but because of their misguided belief that this document will create a pathway for the Kiev regime to achieve its coveted goal of joining the EU.
• If the European Union does not object to the adoption of this law in Ukraine that is not only discriminatory but is designed to eliminate the mother tongue used by millions of people, and an official UN language, it will show its true face, demonstrating that it could not care less about the democratic principles, humanitarian values, fundamental rights and freedoms of ethnic minorities.
#US
• The US and its European allies have been consistently destroying the system of international security, understood as a set of treaties and institutions. They have not supported any of our substantive initiatives.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions following a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine and an open debate on “The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question,” (New York, January 24, 2024)
Key talking points:
• Terrorist attack by the Kiev regime on Il-76 plane
• Middle East
• Prospects of the Palestinian-Israeli settlement
• Ukraine
• Double standards of Western media
• Russia-US relations
• Nuclear security
• Korean Peninsula
💬 Sergey Lavrov: I am compelled to begin by stating yet another fact of the Kiev regime’s use of terrorist methods.
A terrorist attack was perpetrated on January 24, at 11:15 am Moscow time, resulting in the downing of a Russian Il-76 cargo plane in the Belgorod Region. The aircraft was en route from the Moscow Region to Belgorod, carrying 65 prisoners from the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Three Russian officers and a crew of six people accompanied them. All of them died. The Ukrainian prisoners of war were being taken to the Belgorod Region for a prisoner exchange agreed between Moscow and Kiev.
Instead, Ukraine targeted this aircraft from the Kharkov Region using surface-to-air missiles, causing a fatal strike. <...>
#US #MiddleEast
As for the present crisis, everyone seems to have a similar understanding of the consequences of US policy in the region. None of the reckless attempts Washington has engaged in over the last few decades to defend its “core security interests” ten thousand miles across the Atlantic led to a situation where people’s lives improved in a country that the US attacked.
#US #Santions
They should not assume that just because they are strong, because they have the dollar, they can use it to “strangle” others: disconnect them from the SWIFT system or deny them access to the IMF and World Bank loans at whim. The US actually invented the system and made the world accept it.
