​​⚠️ We continue to carefully record the facts of the inhumane treatment of civilians and use of residential buildings, educational institutions, cultural buildings and other social infrastructure facilities for military purposes by Ukrainian armed groups:

🔹 in Zaporozhye, in the Children's Art Palace (Zaporozhskaya sq.), nationalists have deployed a strongpoint, an armament and munitions depot, as well as firing and sniper positions along the perimeter of the institution and at the upper floors of nearest residential buildings;

🔹 in Kramatorsk, Donetsk People's Republic, in the residence of technological vocational school (Uralskaya st.) and in the gymnasium №1 (Arkhangelskaya st.), militants of Ukrainian nationalist groups have deployed barracks, as well as armoured equipment and large-calibre artillery at Yubileyny park;

🔹 in Bakhmut, Donetsk People's Republic, in the industrial vocational college (Chaykovskogo st.), AFU units have deployed provisional bases, as well as armoured equipment, mortar positions and heavy artillery at the adjacent territory. Militants restrict local residents to leave their houses, all their attempts to evacuate to safe areas are severely suppressed.

❗️ These facts show the inhumane treatment of the Ukrainian authorities to the civilian population and their total disregard to the international humanitarian law. Despite the repeated statements by the Joint Coordination Headquarters of the Russian Federation for Humanitarian Response, this kind of cynical acts committed by the Kiev regime have been ignored by the international society until now.

⚠️ In addition, according to reliable information, the Kiev regime is preparing another provocation in Odessa for accusing Russian Armed Forces of assassination civilians (including minors) and deliberate destroying civilian infrastructure using cluster munitions prohibited by international agreements.

▫️ In order to implement this provocation, up to 20 representatives of foreign mass media, as well as employees of the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) had been transported to Odessa from June 26 to 28, 2022.

▫️ In case of attacks launched by units of Russian Armed Forces at the bases of Ukrainian armed groups, the military administration of Odessa region plans to simulate the destruction of a social facility where a crowd of actors (up to 30 anti-Russian activists) have been prepared to play the role of murdered and wounded people.

▫️ All the participants of the staged scenes are to be paid 500 USD, while each of them has already been paid 100 USD in advance.

❗️ We warn the international society and organisations that this and other similar fakes about the alleged atrocities of the Russians fabricated by Ukrainian authorities with support of western supervisors are planned to be widespread in mass media. We emphasise again that the Russian Federation Armed Forces do not launch attacks at civilian infrastructure facilities and treat civilians with an exclusive humanity during the special military operation.

🇺🇦🇩🇪 The Ukrainian ambassador to Germany speaks of Stepan Bandera as a national hero of Ukraine

– You visited the grave of Stepan Bandera and said that you admire him. Why?
– I didn't say I admire him.
– Yes, you said.
– For all Ukrainians, he personifies a fighter for freedom, one who stands for the independence of Ukraine. There are no written laws for those who fight for freedom. Robin Hood also acted illegally.
– Do you admit that he was an anti-Semite, and his people were involved in the murder of 800 thousand Jews?
– No, he didn't participate. There is no proof. He was not convicted.
– Yes, there're proofs.
– Nope. I don't want to talk about it.

The representative of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Nikolenko, called Melnyk's words about Bandera his personal opinion.

🇮🇱 The Israeli embassy in Germany harshly criticized the Ukrainian ambassador to Germany, for doubting that Bandera was guilty of the genocide of Jews and other peoples, and also for the fact that he "distances himself from this."

⚡️ Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Ukrainian Armed Forces’ strikes on residential areas of Belgorod and Kursk.

Video with ENG subs to be uploaded shortly

💬 The goal of the Kiev regime is to strike the residential areas of cities with unguided weapons. This is far from the first time something similar has happened.

We understand that these actions of the regime in Kiev were not only agreed upon with its western superintendents but were also most likely prompted by them. They do this to force us into striking back in a similar fashion so they can carry on hyping their anti-Russian hysteria.

We have abstained from making such steps, but we will be monitoring these developments very carefully. Those who have been acting in this fashion should be aware that they will have to pay a hefty price should these provocations continue.

Ambassador Marat Pavlov is giving an exclusive interview for SMNI News on Russia-Philippine 🇷🇺 🇵🇭relations.

📄 This Report is a continuation of the efforts made by the Ministry to attract attention to the problems related to violation of the rights of Russian citizens and fellow citizens in foreign countries.

Since the issuing of the previous report, not only did no perceptible improvement of the situation take place in this sphere, but the state of affairs has worsened in multiple occasions.

The specific problems faced by our fellow citizens in a number of countries that had prevailed in the previous year were augmented by overwhelming discrimination of Russians, including diplomats, in connection with the special military operation for denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine conducted by the Russian Federation; this discrimination was shocking by its absurdity.

❓ Question: Can you comment on Kiev's statements that the Russian army is allegedly shelling Russian cities in order to thwart Western weapons supplies to Ukraine?

💬 Sergey Lavrov: In a nutshell, the answer is they are lying. The facts are well known and presented by our Defence Ministry on a daily basis. Regardless of the interpretations that President Zelensky and his team may have made, the West must be aware of the responsibility for civilian casualties, primarily in Donbass and other parts of Ukraine, where Kiev is using these weapons against civilians, largely as a means of intimidation.

☝️ This is state-sponsored terrorism.

Statement by a Russian representative at the UNHRC as a right of reply during the dialogue on Agenda Item 10 on the human rights situation in Ukraine:

🤷🏻‍♂️ It is hypocritical and short-sighted that the EU countries, the US and their allies have been ignoring for 8 years the Kiev's policy of exterminating the residents of Donbass, as well as specific facts of human rights violations in Ukraine.

❗️ Encouraging neo-Nazism in Ukraine on your part, in fact, means encouraging the ideology of killing Jews, Russians and representatives of other nationalities.

💥 Your delivery of lethal weapons to Kiev will not lead to peace in Ukraine and Europe in general, but only prolong the conflict further and lead to new victims among civilians.

❓ Where are your morals, democratic and human rights values, which you regurgitate from the HRC rostrum? Or is it so that the Donetsk and Luhansk residents do not deserve peace, and their lives are worthless?

⚠️ It has been reliably elicited that Ukrainian nationalists are preparing another cynical provocation with deaths amongst civilian population to accuse the Russian Armed Forces of launching indiscriminate attacks against civilian facilities in Slavyansk, Donetsk People's Republic. With this purpose, in the orphanage 'Topolyok' (Bulvarnaya st.), neo-Nazis have been retaining the staff of this institution.

▫️At the same time, the building has been mined and militants of nationalist units are planning to explode it as soon as Russian troops launch artillery attacks at the military facilities.

▫️We warn the so-called civilised West in advance that the abovementioned provocation by the Ukrainian authorities about the alleged 'atrocities of the Russians' are to be widely circulated through the Western media and in various resources of the Internet.

❗️We reiterate that Russian Armed Forces provide comprehensive assistance and support to the civilian population, treat them with high humanity and do not launch any attacks at the civilian infrastructure facilities during the special military operation.

⚠️ Ukrainian armed groups continue using residential buildings, educational entities and social facilities with military purposes:

🔹in Avdeyevka, Donetsk People's Republic, in the courtyard of a multi-storey residential building (Tsentralny ave.), militants of Ukrainian nationalist groups have deployed their manpower, heavy armament and armoured equipment. Residents are prohibited to abandon their apartments under the pretext of security.

🔹in Zaporozhye, in the gymnasium №71 (Mayakovskogo ave.), units of AFU and nationalist groups have concentrated their manpower, firing positions and munitions depots;

🔹in Zmiyev, Kharkov region, in the school №2 (Kharkovskaya st.), neo-Nazis have deployed their firing positions, as well as a munitions depot in the basement of the building;

🔹in Seversk, Donetsk People's Republic, in the residential buildings (Zarechnaya st, Tikhaya st.), nationalists of Ukrainian armed groups have deployed their manpower and perform robberies.

▫️Feeling a complete impunity, militants have shown particular cruelty and cynicism against the residents of the city, including elderly people, women and children.

▫️These acts commited by Ukrainian authorities show again their inhumane treatment to the lives of Ukrainian citizens and total disregard to all moral norms and principles of the international humanitarian law.

Посол России на Филиппинах М.И.Павлов встретился с секретарём Филиппино-Вьетнамской епархии, клириком храма блаженной Матроны Московской в г.Давао отцом Корнилием. Обсуждены вопросы присутствия Русской Православной Церкви на Филиппинах.

***

Russian Ambassador to the Philippines Marat Pavlov met with the Secretary of the Philippine-Vietnamese Diocese, cleric of the Church of the Blessed Matrona of Moscow in Davao, Father Cornelius. Issues of the presence of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Philippines were discussed.

🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin met with the leaders of the State Duma and the heads of party factions in the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation:

Key points:

🔹 The so-called collective West led by the United States has been extremely aggressive towards Russia for decades. Our proposals to create a system of equal security in Europe have been rejected.

🔹 We have many supporters, including in the United States and Europe, and even more so on other continents and in other countries. And there will be more, no doubt about that.

🔹 The truth and reality is that the people in most of these countries do not want this life or this future, and really do not want the formal semblance of sovereignty, they want substantive, real sovereignty and are simply tired of kneeling, of humiliating themselves before those who consider themselves exceptional.

💬 #Opinion by Maria Zakharova

Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock:

“The fact that the Russian Foreign Minister spent most of his time during the talks not in the room, but outside it, highlights the fact that the Russian government is not a single millimetre closer to having talks.”

Can you even make any sense out of what she said? Outside what room? Utter nonsense.

The German public should be aware of the fact that their Foreign Minister Annalena is lying to them. Lavrov was among the audience the moment the G20 meeting started and about two hours later he began to hold bilateral talks with his colleagues who attended this forum in a room next door. This is what other ministers did as well, since in-person forums are held exactly for the purpose of holding meetings and having contacts. Otherwise, everyone would have gone online or sent out their speeches.

Or, maybe Baerbock thinks that the foreign ministers of Indonesia, Argentina, Brazil and other countries also were in the wrong room?

On the other hand, Germans are already beginning to realise who is in power in their country. More than half of the German citizens (58 percent) believe that German Foreign Minister Baerbock should have personally met and held talks with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of the G20 ministerial which is taking place on the Indonesian island of Bali. On Friday, Der Spiegel published a survey by Civey pollster to that effect.

Now, the truth about Baerbock. She said this because the G7’s plan to boycott Russia at the G20 failed. Nobody supported the Western regimes. That is why they are fuming now.

Lavrov made his schedule in advance, including in it the G20 meeting and a dinner on behalf of the hosts, as well as numerous bilateral contacts and communication with international media. The materials, photos and videos are available on the Foreign Ministry’s website and on social media. And neither Annalena nor anyone else can change reality with their lies.
