#Africa


▪️In the context of confrontation with the collective West, our interaction with the states of North Africa is of particular importance. Despite unprecedented pressure from the United States and its allies, up to and including outright blackmail, the countries of the region, guided primarily by their fundamental interests, have taken a balanced and responsible position on the Ukrainian issue.

Today it can be said with confidence that the Westerners’ attempts to isolate Russia and bring discord into our relations with the countries of the Middle East and North Africa have failed. We continue to have regular and intensive contacts with their leadership. Despite the illegal sanctions imposed against Russia, the trade with our key partners is growing.

#Ukraine

▪️ The Kiev regime has recently switched to terrorist activity akin to that of ISIS and al-Qaeda, which is primarily due to the obvious failure of the counteroffensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, undertaken with the generous sponsorship of the United States and other NATO countries.

I would like to remind ordinary Americans that it is the United States and Great Britain, the two allies, who are sponsoring all these terrorist attacks by the Kiev regime as it targets civilian infrastructure with drones. In fact, Washington and London are paying for all this from their taxpayers’ pockets.

The people of the United States and the UK must understand that they are being drawn against their will into a situation where they become sponsors of international terrorism, even if indirectly.
📆 Today marks the Africa Industrialization Day established in 1989 by the UNGA to raise awareness about the importance of Africa’s industrialization and the challenges faced by the continent.

☝️ Industrial development is of critical importance for sustained and inclusive economic growth in Africa contributing substantially to poverty eradication.

🇷🇺🤝 Russia assists in developing the African continent, providing trade preferences and cooperating within international organizations.
