💬 President-elect of Finland Alexander Stubb in an interview with CNN:
“I think there’s a shift in the language coming from Ukrainians and President Zelensky, and that is talk of a peace forum. We need to have that. Obviously Swiss will be hosting that at some stage in the near future. But peace has to be two-sided that’s not only a one-way track, you need the tracks to meet at some stage, but when the conditions for that are suitable, I don’t know. To be honest, right now we have absolutely no political dialogue with Russia. And I don’t think we can, nor should we.”
☝🏼 Finnish President-elect Alexander Stubb talks about peace in Ukraine but rules out any dialogue with Russia. He says that peace has to be two-sided, yet hopes to bring it through the ‘Zelensky formula’ which totally ignores Russia’s interests. Logic has left the chat, they say.
❗️ As we repeatedly pointed out, the West doesn’t want to negotiate, it wants no equal relations with Russia (or any other non-Western state). It wants to dictate its will and continue to dominate.
But these times are over, folks.

✍Recent Reuters article published in Business Day refers («Russian crimes in Ukraine ‘show a pattern of genocidal behaviour’» of 3 April).
❌ Lots of lies about what happened in Bucha are being pushed by Kiev with diplomatic and media support of the West. For objective observers, we’d like to present facts.
✅ While Russian forces were in Bucha until March 30, 2022, its residents moved freely around the town, used mobile phones and internet, and there were no complaints about our servicemen whatsoever. Russia withdrew troops from the town as a gesture of good will, in the wake of progress at Istanbul talks (a draft peace treaty was agreed by late March 2022).
☝🏻Footage showing bodies strewn across the town only appeared after the Ukrainian armed forces entered the town, accompanied by foreign journalists, apparently tasked with telling the public this fabricated story.
❗Results of the examination of the bodies from Bucha showed that most of the civilians died from fragments of anti-personnel 122-mm shells fitting the D-30 howitzers (in service with Ukraine military). Therefore, people were not shot by Russian soldiers, as Kiev insists, they were killed by Ukraine army’s artillery strikes targeting Bucha, with some of the bodies likely brought from elsewhere.
🔎 No independent investigation was ever conducted to reveal the names of those killed, their origin, circumstances of their death, as well as to explain why bodies were moved from one place to another (as seen on photos from different sources). Multiple requests by Russia to international organizations, including UNSG and OHCHR, remain unanswered.
👉 Naturally, the organizers of this provocation have things to hide. Their goal was to disrupt the settlement between Russia and Ukraine (in support of B.Johnson’s mission to Kiev at the same time), justify economic sanctions against Russia and loads of weapons for Zelensky regime.
🇺🇦 By far, this is not a unique instance of a staged civilian suffering in Ukraine since February 2022.

🎙 FM Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s interview with Rossiya 24 TV channel (April 8, 2024)
Key talking points:
• The armed forces of Ukraine, using unmanned aerial vehicles, carried out a series of strikes both against the critical infrastructure of the Zaporozhskaya NPP and its grounds.
***
• The US, Britain and their satellites are behind this. Individually and collectively, they are providing the Kiev regime with the drones and shells that these drones are carrying, the money which is used to produce all of that, political support and motivation, and - most importantly - the information cover.
• The international community remains in the dark about the fact that in the centre of the “enlightened” Europe, which refers to itself as a “garden,” there are indeed genuine parasites <...> who are posing a threat to the entire planet because they are sponsoring the Kiev regime’s nuclear terrorism.
***
☝️ We expect the IAEA Director General <...> to provide public, exhaustive, and truthful information. <…> It should be a full-fledged, full-length, and exhaustive report by the head of a structural UN unit that deals specifically with this area covering everything that the Kiev regime has done during this entire period.
• The responsibility for everything the Kiev regime is doing lies with its sponsors. <...> The people from Bankovaya Street will also be held accountable, but we know perfectly well who is behind all of that.
***
• The world must wake up. <...> We will send letters and relevant information through our Permanent Mission to the UN in Vienna and our Permanent Mission to the UN in New York, and use other avenues as well. We will hold ad hoc meetings. We will do this consistently on a daily basis.
❗️ Now is the time for the international community to start discussing really important things. <...> This is what the international community should be doing, not just Russia alone, which has been responsibly and systematically informing its partners using every available channel all along.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during talks with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China Wang Yi (Beijing, April 9, 2024)
💬 We see that thanks to the efforts of our Leaders, #RussiaChina relations of comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction have reached, without any exaggeration, an unprecedented level. With President Vladimir Putin’s re-election, the continuity of the line for their comprehensive strengthening has received additional guarantees.
We noticed the high assessment that you personally gave to ties between Russia and China at a news conference in March of this year. We fully share this assessment.
Our strategic partnership is founded upon the principles of respectful, equitable, and trust-based dialogue, along with mutual support on issues related to the core interests of both countries.
As repeatedly stated by our Leaders, our cooperation has outmatched the military-political alliance of the Cold War era and is not aimed against any third country. The proximity and, in most cases, convergence of Russia and China’s foreign policy approaches to solving the key problems of the modern age are laying the foundation for enhancing strategic coordination on the global scale. Cooperation in international affairs enables us to address common tasks more efficiently both at home and abroad.
🤝 As you said, Mr Minister, we are currently focused on shaping a more just multipolar international order and on promoting inclusive and constructive cooperation formats, such as BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. Also, we are working to consolidate the nations of the Global South to ensure greater fairness and equality in global affairs.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions during a joint news conference with PRC Foreign Minister Wang Yi following talks
📍 Beijing, April 9, 2024
💬 Yesterday and today, we held detailed and specific talks on a broad range of issues of interest to both sides.
• We focused on the schedule of top-level contacts, because the leaders’ diplomacy is, without any exaggeration, the central element of #RussiaChina comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction.
• We also discussed foreign ministry contacts. We have just signed in your presence yet another plan of consultations between our foreign ministries for 2024.
☝️ The issues we are addressing in the economy, trade, investment, and innovative technology are directly related to the effort to establish a fair multipolar world order free from diktat, hegemony, and neo-colonial and colonial practices, which are being used to the utmost extent by the United States and the rest of the collective West that has bowed without question to Washington’s will.
• China and Russia will continue to defend the need to rectify this situation in international economic relations and to be committed to democratising these relations and returning to the principles that were proclaimed a while ago and consist in the requirement to respect the market processes, fair competition, inviolability of property, presumption of innocence, and much more.
• We are focused on aligning our strategies on the global stage. This coordination relies on largely overlapping interests and approaches to key international challenges.
🇷🇺🇨🇳 The talks took place in an atmosphere of friendship, traditional for Russian-Chinese relations, and once again demonstrated the commonality of our countries' views on major global developments and our desire to strengthen bilateral ties in the interest of peace and stability in the region and on the entire planet.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during a meeting with President of China Xi Jinping
📍 Beijing, April 9, 2024
💬 Sergey Lavrov: Thank you for taking the time to receive our delegation. This is yet another confirmation of how much personal attention you pay to the development of cooperation with the Russian Federation.
It is my pleasure and honour to pass best regards from President of Russia Vladimir Putin. He highly appreciated your greetings on the outcome of the presidential election in March.
<...>
President Vladimir Putin’s re-election guarantees the succession in our relations and our commitment to further progress across all areas.
🤝 Notably, it is thanks to the leaders’ diplomacy that Russia-China links have demonstrated stability and ability to adapt to any, even most challenging, conditions. Our bilateral relations are rooted in mutual support when it comes to the matters concerning the fundamental interests of the two countries.
<...>
As the People’s Republic of China is marking its 75th anniversary, we would like to express our highest praise and admiration at the success achieved under your leadership over the years and mainly over the past decade. We are sincerely delighted at these achievements as they belong to our friends.
<...>
In 1949, the Soviet Union was the first state to recognise the new China. We have become allies since then. These 75 years have shown the importance, for us and the entire world, of mutual trust, neighbourliness, friendship, equality and mutually beneficial partnership-something that, as you and President Vladimir Putin stressed, outperforms the blocs dating back to the Cold War era and does not target any third party.
I hope we will properly celebrate the 75th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations. We are ready to work on new strategic objectives set by our leaders.

🗓 On April 10, 1944, exactly 8️⃣0️⃣ years ago, the forces of the Third Ukrainian Front under the command of Army General Rodion Malinovsky ousted Nazi German and Romanian invaders from Odessa.
🕯 The Nazi occupation of the city lasted 907 days. During this period, approximately 200,000 people died in Odessa and in the region. Many of them fell victim to mass bloody massacres and brutal executions. About 78,000 people were deported to Germany for forced labour; plants and factories were destroyed; and over 2,000 buildings, including hospitals and schools, were blown up or burned down.
During their retreat, German and Romanian troops shot at ordinary people, including the elderly, women and children and mined the most important buildings, plants, the power station and the seaport.
⚔️ The Red Army inflicted a crushing defeat on the enemy with over 27,000 soldiers and officers killed and more than 11,000 taken prisoner. The enemy also lost 952 artillery pieces, 443 tanks and assault guns, and 97 ammunition and food depots.
The liberation of Odessa by the Red Army disrupted supplies to the German army group in Crimea and opened the way to an offensive towards the Balkans.
During the entire period of occupation, local citizens resisted the Nazis. After the city was captured, they went into catacombs. During the war, Odessa underground fighters and partisans destroyed over 5,000 enemy soldiers and officers, 248 motor vehicles, and saved about 20,000 Soviet citizens from being forcibly exported to Germany.
In honour of the liberation of Odessa, 324 artillery pieces made 24 salvoes in Moscow.
🎖 The honorable title of Odessa units was conferred on 27 formations and units that distinguished themselves during the operation. The title of Hero of the Soviet Union was awarded to 14 people and over 2,000 people received Soviet orders and medals.
On May 8, 1965, Odessa was officially declared Hero City.

🕯 The terrible tragedy at Crocus City Hall on March 22, 2024, has shocked Russia and the international community.
☝️ Several hours after the tragedy, before even the preliminary results of the investigation were made public and disregarding the unequivocal international condemnation of the attack, the Western media and US, UK and EU officials launched an information campaign to deny the Ukrainian security services’ involvement in that crime.
❗️The editorial offices of the mainstream Western media were instructed to promote the version of the ISIS involvement in organising the attack in Krasnogorsk, to deny the possible connection between the Islamists and the Ukrainian government or Western security services, to discredit the results of investigation, and to advance various conspiracy theories about the alleged involvement of the Russian security services in the tragedy.
‼️ An especially cynical part of the Western attempts to divert public attention from the real organisers and beneficiaries of the crime was the categorical instruction not to mention the real scale of the tragedy, that is, the number of victims, including children.
❌ However, the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack is by far NOT the FIRST terrorist attack on Russia in the recent past.
👉 The Ukrainian security services adopted terrorism as a global confrontation method a long time ago. Since 2016, the Ukrainian regime has been consistently increasing the attempts to commit terrorist attacks and acts of sabotage against military and civilian sites in Russia.
☝️ With the direct, primarily technical, support of Western intelligence services, they have been obtaining sensitive intelligence information, planting agents, and recruiting perpetrators and accomplices. They have been perfecting their techniques and expanding the scope of hostile actions as they went from one-off targeted attacks to openly violent mass-scale terrorist attacks with unlimited fallout.

⚡️ Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on yet another attack on Russian journalists by the Armed Forces of Ukraine
💬 On April 10, Ukrainian armed units shelled the film crew of Vesti Lugansk (a regional affiliate of VGTRK). They were making a TV report in the area of the city of Kremennaya in the Lugansk People’s Republic. As a result of precision fire from the territory controlled by the Kiev regime, film crew camera operator Denis Shum was wounded in a leg, while correspondent Artyom Yundas got a concussion. Moreover, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continued attacking the wounded journalists by drones.
At present, Denis Shum and Artyom Yundas are receiving required medical assistance.
👉 We qualify this incident as yet another crime by the Zelensky regime. It continues looking at domestic journalists and military correspondents as priority targets for fire and is even openly bragging about it. Ukrainian militants attack civilians – unarmed correspondents, photographers and camera operators.
Representatives of the Russian media are being hunted down with all possible means of destruction in violation of all international humanitarian norms. They are using terrorist methods of removal to implement their criminal plans with tacit approval of Ukraine’s Western curators and biased human rights structures.
▪️ Let’s recall that in the past two years, the Kiev regime cruelly murdered the following journalists: Darya Dugina (Platonova), Oleg Klokov, Vladlen Tatarsky (Maxim Fomin), Rostislav Zhuravlev and Boris Maksudov.
❗️We demand that relevant international structures resolutely denounce such actions and adopt proper response measures to the ongoing series of terrorist attacks by the Kiev clique and its agents against representatives of the domestic media.

Ukrainian security services has long ago adopted terrorism as a their working tool, aimed, among other things, at increasing global confrontation. Since 2016, the Ukrainian regime has been consistently increasing the attempts to commit terrorist attacks and acts of sabotage against military and civilian sites in Russia.
When the special military operation began, the Ukrainian special services’ terrorist activity has taken on an unprecedented nature.
The attacks target the railway network and infrastructure using unmanned aircraft in the border areas and deep in the country.

❗️ The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Defence Ministry and the Security Service of Ukraine are behind the acts of sabotage.
The strategic objective of said acts is to inflict a military-political defeat on Russia, as well as maximum economic losses.
⚠️ The barbaric murders of Russian journalists Darya Dugina and Maxim Fomin (Vladlen Tatarsky), and Prosecutor-General of the Lugansk People’s Republic Sergey Gorenko served the same purposes. This also includes attempts on the lives of writer Zakhar Prilepin, the heads of the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions Yevgeny Balitsky and Vladimir Saldo, Interior Minister of the Lugansk People’s Republic Igor Kornet and First Deputy Head of the Kherson Region Vitaly Bulyuk.
👉 Considering the methods used at the level of official government bodies, the Kiev regime and the Ukrainian security services display the attributes of a terrorist entity at the government level, which is above and beyond humanistic concepts of what the state and society are all about. In fact, we are witnessing the creation of an aggressive ISIS-like terrorist regime, with the direct participation of the United States and a US-controlled pack of cronies, in the centre of Europe.
