#OTD in 1945, the Allied nations (#USSR, #US, #UK, #France) held a historic joint military parade in Berlin to mark the Victory over Nazism. History must not be rewritten! #WeRemember that we fought, won and saved the world together.
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.

Talking points:

#Ukraine #Terrorism

Stripping people of their basic right - the right to life - the Kiev regime continues to shell peaceful Russian cities.

Donetsk, which suffered the most during nine years of Kiev's aggression against the Russian-speaking people of Donbass, is seriously affected by the bombing attacks. There are daily reports about the Armed Forces of Ukraine killing children, women, and elderly people. This in no way diminishes the value of the lives or detracts from the loss of lives of men who are defending Donbass.

The developments in Ukraine once again show the timeliness of the special military operation, which, as the Russian leadership has said, will continue and its goals and objectives will be fulfilled.

#France #PoliceBrutality

I have no intention of interfering in the domestic affairs of France. I will emphasise for the second time that this is not in the tradition of Russian diplomacy. I am just wondering how justified Paris’s regular lectures to various sovereign states are amid such an acute socio-political confrontation and an actual split in French society.

I am not talking about Russia alone although the Elysee Palace is constantly trying to teach us something in public, on social media or at the platforms of international agencies. Every state goes through its own path of development. This is a historical process. It overcomes crises proceeding from its own national interests, traditions and peculiarities. This must evoke respect. To have respect it is necessary to understand this.

#Ukraine

The West has now focused on persuading countries of the Global South to take part in the so-called Peace Summit. Organised without Russia, it purports to find a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict. The sole purpose of this gathering is to promote Vladimir Zelensky’s so-called peace formula, which is a total fraud. It is a list of ultimatums for Russia.

Attempts to determine the outcome of the Ukraine conflict without Russia’s involvement are doomed to failure.

#France #Neocolonialism

French President Emmanuel Macron labelled Russia “the sole colonial power of the 21st century” waging an imperialist war and being a destabilising influence in Africa.

Perorations of this kind are inappropriate considering France’s dubious role in Africa. The international community remembers the dirty pages of Paris’s colonial history; France is still striving to exploit Africa’s resources, masking its neo-colonial methods and schemes with false rhetoric and pretended concern for the Africans’ welfare.

#Moldova

The West, through the Kiev regime, is dragging Moldova into the Ukrainian conflict and what’s more, is regarding it as a possible second Ukraine. The Moldovan authorities are getting closer to becoming direct accomplices of the criminal Kiev authorities, while making their own population hostages.

We have repeatedly pointed out to Chisinau that assistance from the collective West, including in the military sphere, serves its own interests exclusively.

#Election2024

The Russian MFA Commission on Elections has done a lot of extensive work, with 288 polling stations established in 144 countries.

As the voting period approaches, we are recording an increasing number of attempts to interfere with the organisation and conduct of elections abroad and from abroad.

☝️ The full-fledged voting of Russian citizens abroad will be guaranteed despite any attempts to interfere in the domestic affairs of the Russian Federation.

#Ukraine #France

President Macron continues to talk about sending European military personnel to Ukraine. On March 7, at a meeting with parliamentarians, he did not rule out the option of sending a French contingent if the Russian army, as was said during that meeting, advances towards Kiev or Odessa.

Statements made by Macron and other NATO politicians about sending in contingents, troops or paramilitary units to Ukraine are related to dividing (from their point of view) what remains of Ukraine.

#Syria

A special flight operated by the Russian Aerospace Forces arrived in Moscow on March 10, 2024, carrying another group of 32 children on board. They came from camps for internally displaced persons in the northeast of the Syrian Arab Republic.

The MFA and the Russian Embassy in Damascus persist in their efforts to repatriate as quickly as possible all Russian children who found themselves in Syria due to their parents’ involvement in international terrorist activities.

According to Ms Lvova-Belova, as many as 414 Russian minors have already been successfully returned to Russia.

#Ukraine #KievRegimeCrimes

With obsessive cruelty, fighters from the Ukrainian Armed Forces hunt down the medical workers who are helping the victims of shelling attacks and target them in an attempt to destroy them and prevent them from saving civilians.

Hospitals, outpatient clinics, rural health posts and other medical buildings in the DPR and LPR, as well as the Belgorod, Bryansk, Zaporozhye, Kursk, and Kherson regions, regularly come under fire from neo-Nazis.

☝️ We are not going to leave the above crimes unpunished. The perpetrators will be identified and held accountable to the full extent of the law.

#France #NATO #Sovereignty

Reports from the French Armed Forces General Staff on handing over the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier and its escort combat vessels under NATO’s operations command for the naval drills in the Mediterranean <...> is yet another clear indication that France’s national sovereignty is being progressively eroded in its most important and sensitive dimension, which is nuclear deterrence.

❗️ This and similar decisions made by Paris convince us once again that, when discussing the crisis in European security and the problem of global security, strategic stability and arms control, France’s nuclear arsenal must be considered as one with that of the United States and Great Britain.
🇷🇺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!

#BRICS

Russia’s chairmanship of BRICS is picking up speed. Over 40 events across three main cooperation areas have already taken place, covering politics and security, the economy and finance, as well as cultural and humanitarian exchanges.

#Ukraine

Just a few days ago EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell admitted clearly once again that the Ukrainian conflict had had a quick peaceful solution since the very beginning, but he personally and on behalf of the European Union did not want the combat to cease. We have talked about this many times (citing Mr Borrell and other EU officials) pointing to the EU’s long-term investments in financing arms supplies to Ukraine, with which they expect to prolong the armed confrontation for at least several more years (in their own words).

This confirms the terrible reality: ordinary Ukrainians are just a tool that Vladimir Zelensky "sold" to the EU members in the name of his own enrichment and immorality, which is used to settle the West’s geopolitical scores with Russia.

#France #NATO #EU

We noted the recent aggressive remarks from the French leadership, which seem to be increasingly frequent. <…> It is noteworthy that the belligerent stance of the occupant of the Elysee Palace is not only met with disapproval among many EU and NATO allies but, crucially, among the majority of French citizens, too.
