🎙 Remarks by Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova at the opening of the BRICS Media Summit (13 -17 September, 2024) held today in Moscow.
💬 BRICS does not seek to create new dividing lines based on bloc mentality. On the contrary, BRICS promotes synergy of different civilisations and advocates a collective approach to solving current problems.
• The BRICS philosophy is based on the traditions of equal dialogue, openness and consensus, respect for the development path chosen by the states, and consideration of each others’ interests.
• The countries of the association share similar views on the modern world, aspiration to multipolarity as a basis for sustainable development, commitment to the central coordinating role of the United Nations, principles and standards of international law.
• Yesterday, Russian journalists were subjected to aggression by the United States. This is not an accident, it is not a mistake, it is a chain of planned actions to which our journalists – Rossiya Segodnya, RT, Sputnik (even the guests of their broadcasts!) – have been subjected year after year for several years.
❗️ Support for your colleagues (Russian journalists and media outlets) ought to be expressed because the crime being committed against them is an attack on freedom of speech, an attack on the profession of journalism, an attack on human dignity. We must show solidarity.

📆 On September 12, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov took part in a roundtable discussion titled “The Ukraine Crisis: Terrorist Methods of the Kiev Regime.”
🌐 The event involved ambassadors and representatives from 72 diplomatic missions of Global Majority states, accredited in Moscow, and international organisations.
🎙 In his remarks the Minister noted that the Kiev regime was not even trying to hide its terrorist essence, with the connivance and direct support of Western patrons. After failing to defeat our country on the battlefield, Kiev has focused on criminal attacks against civilian facilities; it is futilely trying to cause a maximum public outcry, to destabilise the work of Russia’s state agencies and sow panic among people.
❗️At the same time, the “collective West” continues to supply the Kiev regime with attack weapons and give it a carte blanche to use them on Russian territory against peaceful residents and civilian infrastructure facilities.
☝️ Numerous facts of terrorist attacks, including those against nuclear power plants, were mentioned. Information about Kiev’s role in organising a terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert facility, as well as the crimes of Ukrainian neo-Nazis in the Kursk Region, was provided separately.
The event participants discussed the Kiev regime’s support for international terrorism on the African continent, the investigation of attacks that wrecked the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines and Kiev’s attempts to blackmail its European partners by shutting down oil transits.
The Minister touched upon numerous facts of the Kiev regime’s efforts to terrorise its own population, specifically, the eradication of all things Russian, including the Russian language, and persecution of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
The event participants gained an insight into the Foreign Ministry’s report on the terrorist crimes committed by the Kiev regime.
👉 The Minister also touched upon other issues, including prospects for a negotiating process to resolve the Ukraine crisis and food security, and he also replied to questions from participants in the roundtable discussion.

📆 Today marks 279 years since the birth of Mikhail Kutuzov, an outstanding Russian military commander and diplomat.
🌟 M.Kutuzov was strongly influenced by his teacher Alexander Suvorov, under whom he served during Russo-Turkish wars of the second half of XVIII century.
⚔️ He was twice severely wounded: the first time a bullet went through his temple and out near his right eye, the second time a bullet was shot through both of his temples. The surgeon who treated him was astonished by the fact that Kutuzov “survived wounds that by all medical laws are terminal.” The medic believed that “destiny must yet have a great deed in store for him.”
⚔️ M.Kutuzov is most widely known for brilliantly repelling Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812. When he was asked if he hoped to defeat Napoleon, Kutuzov smiled and answered: “Not to defeat, but I’m hoping to deceive him.”
Aware that Russian resources were too scarce to openly confront the pan European “Grande Armee”, M.Kutuzov ruled to leave Moscow to Napoleon (St. Petersburg was the capital city at that time), destroying all the ammunition and food supplies. Afterwards, he inflicted several serious defeats on the French and made them retreat beyond the borders of Russia.
☝️ By the end of Napoleon’s Russian campaign, only some 27.000 remained of his “Great Army’s” former 685.000.

❗️ Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced an increase in the size of the Russian armed forces to 2,389,130 personnel, which includes 1.5 million military members. This information was released in a decree published on the official legal information website on Monday.
☝️ Reporting on this issue is always inaccurate as media – willingly or unwillingly – speak about 2,4 mln military which is not the case (apart from military servicemen there are civilian contractors)

💡 EU’s “Green Agenda”: what it promises for the Global South?
Brussels is doubling down on its “green agenda,” aiming to cut fossil fuel use and boost energy efficiency. The focus is on reducing consumption to enhance the EU's energy security and competitiveness. But what does this mean for the Global South?
❌ Major hydrocarbon projects are off the table, and new infrastructure risks becoming obsolete. Recent updates show minimal EU investment in gas projects like the Southern Gas Corridor and Trans-Caspian pipeline.
❗️ For countries seeking EU funds, the stakes are high – not just financial but political. There’s a demand for political alignment and adherence to Western policies.
