⚡️Nord Stream blast timeline per #Hersh disclosures

#СGTN has released a very informative video based on the bombshell article by the American journalist Seymour Hersh. It’s extremely important not only for Russia but also for the world community to find out what lies at the bottom of that terrorist attack.

❗️Eventually truth will out.

The video by courtesy of #СGTN.

🇷🇺🇧🇮 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions at a joint news conference following talks with Minister of Foreign Affairs and Development Cooperation of the Republic of Burundi Albert Shingiro

📍 Sochi, March 23, 2023

We have coordinated the practical moves needed to boost our trade and economic cooperation and cultural ties. We discussed promising areas such as the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

One of our priorities is healthcare, including in the context of dealing with the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic and preparing for the possibility of outbreaks of other infectious diseases. Head of the Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare (Rospotrebnadzor) Anna Popova has recently visited Burundi, where a cutting-edge biolaboratory with Russian equipment was opened at the National Centre for Public Health.

We reaffirmed the convergence of positions on most current issues across the international agenda. We noted our Burundian partners’ decision to support Russia’s initiatives at the 77th session of the UN General Assembly. We appreciate their balanced stance at the UN during consideration of the situation in Ukraine.

💬 I think the first portion of Mr. Hersh’s findings caused quite a shock among the Western countries.

With regard to the national investigations conducted by the Swedes, Danes and Germans. <...> I think these countries would be okay with what we in Russia describe as putting it to bed and leaving everyone none the wiser. We do not expect these investigations to be transparent or the general public ever becoming aware of their results.

We submitted a draft resolution to the UN Security Council asking the UN Secretary-General to conduct an impartial, objective and transparent investigation with broad participation of international experts. China is supportive of this approach. The Americans’ reaction was nervous. I would even say their behaviour looks like panic.

⚡️ FM Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on the examination by the UN Security Council of Russia’s draft resolution to investigate acts of sabotage against Nord Stream pipelines

💬 On March 27, the UNSC examined a draft resolution put forward by Russia requesting the UN Secretary-General to establish an international, independent investigation commission to conduct an investigation of the circumstances in which explosions on the Nord Stream pipelines occurred.

Following countries co-sponsored the resolution:
🇨🇳 China,
🇧🇾 Belarus,
🇻🇪 Venezuela,
🇰🇵 DPRK,
🇳🇮 Nicaragua,
🇸🇾 Syria,
🇪🇷 Eritrea.

Apart from Russia, China 🇨🇳 and Brazil 🇧🇷 voted in favour of the resolution.

Other Security Council members abstained during the vote.

Therefore, the document did not receive a sufficient number of votes due to the proactive efforts deployed by the Western delegations to prevent its adoption. It seems that the Western capitals are afraid of an unbiased approach to establishing the truth.

We are disappointed by the outcome of the vote.

👉 Western representatives firmly opposed allowing anyone to take part in the investigation carried out by German, Danish and Swedish authorities under the pretext of protecting national security interests. Accordingly, the international community missed an opportunity to send a clear signal that perpetrating attacks of this kind in the future would be unacceptable.

In the meantime, we have noted that the pipeline operator, Nord Stream 2 AG, received an invitation from the Danish authorities to take part in the operation to lift an unidentified object found in the vicinity of the pipeline. We have reasons to doubt that Copenhagen would have taken this step without our tireless efforts to draw the attention of the international community to the investigation, including within the UNSC.

🇷🇺 Russia will persist in its efforts to make sure that all the necessary measures are taken to identify the perpetrators and hold them accountable.

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 #KievRegimeCrimes

The Armed Forces of Ukraine’s attempt to invade Russian territory a priori precludes any possibility of talks with this junta of bandits. Yet, they were trying to impose their propaganda on the international community all the same.

Zelensky cynically declared that Ukraine’s goal was to create a “buffer zone” in the Russian region. There was not a single Western journalist (US, UK, German, Italian, French, etc.), who would inquire, how one thing (the “buffer zone) hang with the other (the strengthening of the bargaining position). Obviously, Zelensky wanted these “appeals to the nation” to boost his plummeting popularity ratings, prove his legitimacy, and get even more Western funding. Of course, all these statements are mutually contradictory and the Kiev regime’s criminal scheme was doomed to a crushing defeat from the very beginning.

#NordStream pipelines

For almost two years, the German side has responded to all inquiries from the Russian competent authorities regarding the bombing of the Nord Streams with nothing more than empty excuses and formal replies. Not a single paper they sent us contains any facts.

It is not the first time that Berlin has tried to convince the public and the world diplomatic community that it is allegedly fulfilling all its bilateral obligations of an international nature. It is trying to “feed” the international community this unleashed bureaucratic red tape as proof of fulfilling its international legal obligations. This is a lie. They do not provide the Russian side with any facts they have on this investigation, although they are obliged to.
