🎙Address by Russia’s G20 Sherpa Svetlana Lukash at the #BRICS CCI Annual Recognition ceremony in New Delhi
Sustainability and life style changes: unleashing the power of BRICS block
💬 In my vision, the concept of sustainability is a world which stands on three whales: Balance, Justice and Mindset.
🐳 First whale is Balance. We must not ignore that three pillars of sustainable development – social, economic and environmental – are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.
🐳 And here we come to the second question or whale – Justice. The world is facing multiple crises and challenges <...>. While these challenges affect us all, they do not affect us equally. Inequality in incomes and opportunities, and in particular in access to finance and technology – provides for a huge gap between the developed and developing countries.
🐳 The third question or whale of sustainability is Mindset. The impact of human actions on the Planet resulting in climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution – calls for a paradigm shift – required to change our life styles in order to lower our environmental footprint.
🇮🇳 Referring to the wisdom of Mahatma Gandhi, if we want a change in our future, we need to become this change in our present.
As whales need the ocean so as questions need answers. The answers to these three questions of sustainability lies in the intertwined spheres of Behavioural change, Technology and Finance. Following animalistic associations, let me call them three elephants of sustainable development 🐘
The answers to these three questions of sustainability lies in the intertwined spheres of Behavioural change, Technology and Finance.
The voice and power of Emerging market economies and Developing countries – the BRICS members and beyond – is only going stronger. <...> The joint potential of BRICS is outstanding so let’s use it effectively and wisely to build a sustainable, just and inclusive world.

❗ Statement by Ambassador Gennady Gatilov:
▪️ 🇷🇺Donetsk, which has been enduring the horrors of 🇺🇦Ukrainian nationalists since 2014, today lives through another grim page in its modern history. 25 civilians died and more than 20 people, including 2 children, sustained serious injuries in an AFU artillery strike on a local market, in an indiscriminate shelling that was carried out with Western-supplied weapons and munitions.
▪️ Confronted with a series of both political and military failures, Zelenskiy and his butchers once again vent their blind rage on civilians of 🇷🇺Donbass. The Western countries will not condemn or even notice this act of pure barbarism committed by their proxies in 🇺🇦Kiev. What’s worse, certain international human rights organizations might follow suit.
❗️ We urge the 🇺🇳UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Völker Turk and his Office not to allow such atrocities to go unnoticed, to publicly react to this indiscriminate shelling of civilians in 🇷🇺Donetsk by 🇺🇦Ukrainian militants.

❗️ The neo-Nazi regime in Kiev, supported by the United States and its satellites, has committed yet another brutal terrorist act against the civilian population of Russia.
On the morning of January 21, armed units of Bandera’s followers [Stephan Bandera - a Hitlerite crony & WWII war criminal, the idol of the Ukranian neo-Nazis & nationalists aka the banderovites] deliberately targeted a market and shops in Tekstilshchik, a neighbourhood in the Kirovsky District of Donetsk. A total of six artillery rounds were fired at the busiest areas in town causing a large number of casualties. According to reports, at least 27 people were killed and 25 were injured.
Read in full
It was established that the shelling was coming from Avdeyevka, which is still controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and that the types of weapons supplied by the West were used. This is further confirmation of the Western countries’ direct involvement in the conflict, implicating them in the criminal acts committed by the Zelensky regime.
Russia strongly condemns this treacherous attack on civilians. The West’s unrestrained desire to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia using their Ukrainian puppets to do the fighting, thoughtlessly supporting them without any limits, is pushing the Kiev regime to increasingly reckless steps, including terrorist attacks, massive violations of international humanitarian law and war crimes.
☝️ Russia calls on all responsible governments and relevant international agencies to strongly condemn this brutal act of terrorism. Their silence would mean tacit approval of the murder of civilians and encourage Ukrainian neo-Nazis to commit even more terrible atrocities.
The terrorist attacks by the Kiev regime clearly demonstrate that it has no political will for peace and the settlement of the conflict by diplomatic means. No threats to security or acts of terrorism must be coming from the territory of Ukraine.
