🗣President of Russia Vladimir Putin: As for the Palestinian statehood, <…> we have always advocated the creation of a Palestinian state that would be independent, sovereign and with a capital in East Jerusalem. We have been talking about this for a long time, the international community has been talking about for a long time, since 1948, in fact, when the objective to create two independent sovereign states was put forward. I do not know whether today’s crisis can help deliver on this task. If this were the case, it would be a step in the right direction since it would create conditions for achieving lasting peace down the road.

🇷🇺 President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the extraordinary G20 Summit:
💬 I understand that this war [in Ukraine] and the loss of life are shocking and could not be otherwise.
❓But what about the bloody coup in Ukraine in 2014, which was followed by the Kiev regime’s war against its own people in Donbass? Did that not shock you? Are you not shocked by the extermination of civilians in Palestine and the Gaza Strip today? Did it not shock you when the UN Secretary-General said that Gaza has turned into a huge children’s graveyard?

⚡️ Excerpts from the statement of the Russian Federation after the vote on granting of full membership in the UN to the State of Palestine:
This day could go down in history as the day when, after three-quarters of a century, the international community finally took the right step towards correcting the long-standing "historical injustice" towards Palestine and the legitimate aspirations of its heroic people.
☝️ After all, the essence of the matter was a simple question: are the Palestinians worthy of being part of the world family, participating fully in all decisions of international life? A question to which we have consistently answered in the affirmative, when we accepted Israel into the UN, and when we accepted dozens of states liberated from colonial oppression.
❗️ However, our American colleagues think differently.
By exercising the veto right for the fifth time since the escalation in Gaza, they have once again demonstrated their true attitude towards the Palestinians. For Washington, they do not deserve to have their own independent state. They are only an obstacle to the realization of Israel's interests.
That is why the United States is willing to turn a blind eye to Israel's crimes against the peaceful residents of Gaza, to ignore the illegal settlement activity of Jerusalem on the West Bank.
☝🏼 The goal is to break the will of the Palestinians, to compel them to unconditionally submit to the occupying power, to turn them into servants and second-class citizens, and perhaps even to eradicate them from their native territory.
