👉🏻‼️Read the extracts from the statement of Russian Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich “On ongoing crimes by Ukraine against civilian population with the support of Western alliance of OSCE participating States”, (meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 2 June 2022):
▫️What is happening in 🇺🇦 Ukraine is not a game, it’s about the fate of real people whom #Kiev regime actually took hostage.
▫️Ukrainian armed formations continue to commit crimes against the civilian population with extreme cynicism - there are children among the killed and injured from targeted shelling of residential areas
▫️Attacks of 🇺🇦 Ukrainian Armed Forces against civilians demonstrates that Kiev regime seeks to use the tactics of "scorched earth", destroy peaceful life to the ground where the ideas of Ukrainian national exceptionalism will no longer return
▫️The goal of 🇺🇦Kiev’s external minders is obvious - to prolong the armed confrontation, create a zone of long-lasting military and geopolitical instability in Eastern Europe near Russian 🇷🇺borders
▫️There has been cases of Illegal “redirection” of weapons supplied by NATO countries to Ukraine 🧨 to other zones of instability, for example, to non-government-controlled areas of Syria
▫️Spreading sleazy fakes about the actions of the Russian military has long been a favorite technique for representatives of the Kiev 🇺🇦 regime and some of its foreign sponsors. Such tactics are written off from the worst examples of Goebbels propaganda
▫️Recently, law enforcement agencies of the DPR released the SSU documents and video materials from which it follows that the special services of 🇺🇦Ukraine have been secretly spying on #OSCE employees and members of foreign diplomatic missions

📄Excerpts from the Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation
Regional tracks of the foreign policy of Russia: European region
❗️Most European states pursue an aggressive policy toward Russia aimed at creating threats to the security & sovereignty of Russia, gaining unilateral economic advantages, undermining domestic political stability & eroding traditional Russian spiritual & moral values, & creating obstacles to Russia's cooperation with allies & partners.
☝️Russia intends to consistently defend its national interests by giving priority attention to:
1) reducing & neutralizing threats to security, territorial integrity, sovereignty, traditional spiritual & moral values, & socio-economic development of Russia, its allies & partners from unfriendly European states, #NATO, the EU & the Council of Europe
2) creating conditions for the cessation of unfriendly actions by European states & their associations <...> & for their transition to a long-term policy of good-neighbourliness & mutually beneficial cooperation with Russia
3) the formation of a new model of coexistence by European states to ensure the safe, sovereign & progressive development of Russia, its allies & partners, & durable peace in the European part of Eurasia, taking into account the potential of multilateral formats, including the #OSCE.
Objective prerequisites for the formation of a new model of coexistence with European states are geographical proximity, historically developed deep cultural, humanitarian & economic ties of the peoples & states of the European part of Eurasia. The main factor complicating the normalization of relations between Russia & European states is the strategic course of the USA & their individual allies to draw & deepen dividing lines in the European region.
❗️The realization by the states of Europe that there is no alternative to peaceful coexistence & mutually beneficial equal cooperation with Russia <...> will have a positive effect on the security & welfare of the European region.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s video message to the participants in the 7th Young Diplomats Forum of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation countries (Moscow, May 18, 2023)
💬 It is a great privilege for me to greet the participants in the 7th Young Diplomats Forum of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation countries. This year, it is being held as part of Russia − Islamic World: Kazanforum 2023.
🇷🇺 Russia has a tradition of promoting friendly ties with the majority of Muslim countries. We share a commitment to seeking guidance in our interstate cooperation from the principles of equality, mutually respecting our interests and seeking to balance them.
🔹 Russian diplomacy prioritises the promotion of interfaith and intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding, as well as the consolidation of our efforts to stand up for the traditional spiritual and moral values shared by all world religions, and also combatting Islamophobia, including within the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the #OSCE.
🌐 New global centres in Eurasia, the Asia-Pacific Region, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America have achieved impressive results in various areas by focusing on their independence, state sovereignty, and their unique cultural and civilisational identities, all while acting based on their core national interests and conducting an independent foreign policy.
🔹 Russia has been consistent in its belief that confrontation leads international relations into a dead-end. We need to avoid confrontation, unreasonable and extremely dangerous as it is, between the global centres of power.
❗️People aspire to reach a new, well-considered balance of interests. It is essential that instead of rule by force, we equip the emerging world order with legal norms and regulations based on the UN Charter.
