Russian Embassy’s reply to the article ‘Russia today echoes ‘might is right’ foreign policy of the past’ by G.Sæther, Norwegian Ambassador to SA
❌ ‘We assumed that the era of large-scale war in Europe was over but we were wrong,’ says Mr. G.Sæther. We believe Serbs assumed that, too, when back in 1999 the US-led NATO, at its own discretion, bombed and invaded their country, Yugoslavia.
❌ ‘Russia is also a master of blaming the war on others, in particular on NATO’s so-called expansion,’ – claims Mr G.Sæther. We remind that since 1991 there has been six waves of the ‘so-called expansion’.
❌ Arguing Russia uses ‘rape as a military tactic’ is just rich. Be it known that stating this the Ambassador disseminates sick fantasies of the Ukrainian ex-Ombudswoman L.Denisova who was fired exactly for that lie.
❌ G.Sæther’s words about ‘Russia invading Georgia’ are mere lies. It was Georgia’s M.Saakashvilli who ordered to attack South Ossetia and Russian peacekeepers stationed there on the night of 8 August 2008.

📅 #OTD in 1944, units of the Red Army’s 1st, 2nd and 3rd Belarusian fronts, supported by the 1st Baltic Front, liberated Minsk as part of Operation Bagration.
On June 28, 1941, Nazi forces seized the city. The Nazis destroyed nearly 80% of residential buildings, hastened to establish a ghetto. 400,000+ people perished by their hand in Minsk and its outskirts. The crimes committed there have but one word to describe them - genocide.
The retreating invaders took out their anger on the city and its resilient denizens: they blew up 23 major enterprises, wrecked a water conduit, blew up local sewers and the telephone network, destroyed 47 schools, as well as theatres, libraries, outpatient clinics and hospitals.
🔥 At 2:30 am on July 3 the occupiers felt the righteous anger of the Red Army. Eyewitnesses wrote that the Germans began to panic when the Soviet soldiers descended on the city. Partisans helped to liberate the city; they took part in the preparation of the operation plan and participated in street fighting.
The Soviet air force, which dominated the skies, hit the enemy hard,wreaking havoc on the retreating Nazis and hampering the arrival of their reserves
Highly effective and well-coordinated operations made it possible to expel the enemy from Minsk by the evening of July 3. To commemorate this event, Moscow ordered a 324-gun artillery salute.
❗️ It should be noted that Soviet forces continued to mop up the German formation, encircled to the east and southeast of Minsk, in the so-called Minsk pocket, until July 11. The Nazis failed to break out of the pocket. In all, 70,000 enemy soldiers were killed, and around 35,000 more, including 12 generals, were taken prisoner.
The main forces of the three Belarusian fronts pushed westward, while the others continued to mop up the encircled enemy formation near Minsk.

💬 The Kiev regime's attempt to attack an area where civilian infrastructure is located, including an airport, which, incidentally, also serves international flights, is yet another act of terrorism.
Considering that Zelensky carries out these attacks with weapons supplied by the West or purchased with Western funds, this is international terrorism.
The international community must understand that the United States, the UK and France, all permanent members of the UN Security Council, are financing a terrorist regime.

Vladimir Putin attended a meeting of the SCO Heads of State Council
“We intend to continue to deepen ties with members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. These ties are becoming stronger and more diverse. Russia’s trade with SCO member states has increased by over one third, or 37 percent, reaching a record high of $263 billion last year. In January to April this year, it went up by another 35 percent. We are using national currencies for mutual settlements more widely. In particular, over 80 percent of commercial transactions between Russia and the People’s Republic of China are made in rubles and yuan. The share of the Russian national currency in export transactions with all the SCO countries exceeded 40 percent in 2022,” the President pointed out.

🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin's speech at the meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Heads of State Council.
💬 President Putin: We believe it is important that all members of the association share their approaches to the situation in global politics, security, the social and economic spheres.
At the same time, our organisation is strongly committed to creating a truly just and multipolar world order, an order based on international law and common principles of mutually respectful cooperation between sovereign states with the central, coordinating role of the United Nations.
Our organisation plays an increasingly important role in international affairs and brings a substantial contribution to maintaining peace and stability, ensuring sustainable economic growth of its member states and developing ties between peoples.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues in the #SCO member states who have expressed their support for the Russian leadership in defending the constitutional order, lives and security of its citizens. We greatly appreciate this.
Russia has been in favour of strengthening cooperation between the member states in investment, banking and finance, as well as in industry, energy, transport and logistics, agriculture, telecommunications, digitalisation and high tech.
Counterterrorism, countering extremism and religious radicalism, curbing drug trafficking and other types of smuggling, combating militant formations must remain a priority of the SCO.
It is a matter of satisfaction that the authority and influence of our association continue to improve, and other countries and international structures show interest in its activity. They trust us and want to be friends and work together.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with «Rádio e Televisão de Portugal»
📍 Moscow, June 30, 2023
Key talking points:
Ukrainian crisis
They [the West] are using Ukraine as an expendable material, drugging Ukrainian soldiers for them not to feel any pain and driving them to the front lines like cattle. President Putin said a few days ago that the entire economic, war and information machine of the West is working against us. Media lies are off the charts.
Russia-NATO
We have heard lots of lies and false promises from the West. I’m not saying this to keep searching for arguments to back our past or current policies, but to re-confirm the fact that we have learned our lesson. We are no longer looking to the past, but to the future. The past has taught us a good lesson.
Multipolar world
The multipolar world is taking shape objectively, because new centres of economic growth, financial power and political influence have emerged. China, India and Brazil are cases in point. Let's not forget the Gulf countries, Türkiye, Indonesia and the ASEAN countries.
UN
All that is needed is to abide by the UN Charter and to return to the commitments that were solemnly proclaimed, signed and ratified. Primarily, the issue is about the principle of the sovereign equality of states. Humanity’s problems since the creation of the UN are rooted in the fact that the West outright refused to respect the sovereign equality of all other countries. It continues to think and act in colonial ways and to live at the expense of others.
Russia-Africa
Unlike some other countries dominated by those who we in Russia call “people who lost track of their origins,” African countries are well aware of the history of their states and their struggle against colonialism. They appreciate our country’s help.

The Programme for the #RussiaAfrica Economic and Humanitarian Forum has been announced (July 27-28, 2023):
Main themes:
🔹 The New Global Economy
Trade and economic cooperation between the EAEU and Africa has a long and rich history. Today, given the current trends in global economic development, the dialogue between Eurasia and Africa has the potential of regional economic associations.
The African continent is one of the fastest-growing energy markets in the world. Building on the friendly ties between Russia and African states, Russian energy companies are implementing a number of ambitious projects on the African continent.
🔹 Integrated Security and Sovereign Development
Global security increasingly affects the African continent. The Global North exploits its dominant position in the current system of international relations and continues to employ aggressive, neo-colonial policies to achieve its goals.
Africa is the most food-insecure region in the world. Due to sanctions wars and the collapse of supply and production chains, the flywheel of food inflation on the planet is set to accelerate.
🔹 Cooperation in Science and Technology
One of the key strategic tasks that every state faces in the contemporary world is the use of technologies that will ensure energy security, guarantee the sustainable development of various economic sectors and increase the scientific and human capacity of the country.
🔹 The Humanitarian and Social Sphere
The human dimension of development has been declared a priority by Russia and the African Union and its Agenda 2063 programme. In an increasingly multipolar world, cooperation in the human dimension takes on particular significance.
🔹 Media Forum
It is crucial for the media to be truly sovereign and be able to convey their point of view to the audience. Strengthening bilateral and multilateral cooperation is now a key agenda item for representatives of the media industry around the world.

Suzdal, a jewel in the crown of the Russian Golden Ring
🏡 A small town, covering only 9, 5 square kilometers, Suzdal is densely populated with ancient religious and civilian buildings.
🔸The Kremlin, 6 monasteries, 30 churches, and about 200 houses of 17th and 18th centuries in a fair state evoke spirit of the Middle Ages.
⛪️ The Kremlin of Suzdal and the Monastery of our Saviour and St. Euthimius are UNESCO heritage sites.
🔸It seems like time is slowing its pace here. The Suzdal scenery frozen up in XIX century is beloved by Russian film-makers and often used as a backdrop for historical films.
