▪️ On #ChildrensDay our thoughts are with the kids of #Donbass: for 9 long years they've been shelled - thousands wounded and killed by the Kiev regime neo-Nazis

All the while politicians and MSM in the West turned a blind eye to their suffering.

⚡️ On new facts of global surveillance by the United States

The Russian authorities have uncovered new facts of the US special services using American IT companies for global surveillance of US and other countries’ citizens. In this instance, they used the software vulnerabilities of US-made smartphones.

This fact has conclusively proven what Moscow has been speaking about for a long time, namely, that the US intelligence services have been using IT giants for decades to collect internet users’ personal data without their knowledge. More evidence of this illegal activity comes to light every year.

Time and again, we addressed the concerned international platforms on the need to restore order and formulate the universal rules of conduct in the digital environment based on respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and the sovereign equality of states. In January 2021, the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation adopted a Statement on the violation of the freedom of speech principle by US global IT companies and on drafting an international convention to regulate their operations. Practice has shown that Washington is not ready to consider our proposals.

❗️ The United States has placed itself above the law. We have provided the UN with ample evidence of the double standards that country and its special services and companies have been using in the sphere of international information security (IIS).

We once again call on all the concerned parties to formulate clear and fair regulations in the digital sphere that would be binding for all states and especially ICT designers. This is the goal of the initiatives Russia has advanced within the framework of the UN Open-Ended Working Group on IIS. <...>

☝️ No state has a right to abuse its technological capabilities in a sensitive sphere such as access to the personal data of smartphone users.

☦️ Σήμερα τιμάται η μνήμη του αγίου και εθνικού ήρωα Ντμίτρι Ντονσκόι, μέγα πρίγκιπα των πόλεων Βλαντίμιρ και Μόσχα, ο οποίος ένωσε τα ρωσικά εδάφη για να αντιταχθούν στη Χρυσή Ορδή, με αποτέλεσμα μια μεγάλη νίκη στη μάχη του Κουλικόβο.

💬 Μαρία Ζαχάροβα, η Εκπρόσωπος του Υπουργείου Εξωτερικών της Ρωσίας:

Η ηθική κατάπτωση της διπλωματίας της ΕΕ είναι προφανής. Όταν ο εκπρόσωπος της διπλωματίας απαιτεί άνευ όρων να επιλυθεί η κατάσταση «στο πεδίο της μάχης» και λέει ότι δεν υπάρχει χώρος για τη διπλωματία, είναι σαφές ότι πρόκειται για πλήρη δυσλειτουργία.

🌐 The 2nd Eurasian Economic Forum was held on May 24-25 in Moscow and was timed to coincide with the meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council involving the Heads of the Eurasian Economic Union Member States and the Observer States. The events were held as part of the 2023 presidency of the Russian Federation in the Eurasian Economic Union's governing bodies. The motto of the Forum is "Eurasian Integration in a Multipolar World".

🇦🇲 Mher Grigoryan: “The territory of our Union is one of the richest in the world in terms of natural resources and minerals. But our most valuable asset is, of course, our people. There is no doubt that the efficiency of achieving our objectives and our competitive advantage depends on people and their motivation. Given all the formal definitions, the key point of our integration is the development of human capital as the main potential and future of Eurasia”.

🇧🇾 Alexander Lukashenko: “The world has recently been living in an atmosphere of constant tension and uncertainty. In an extraordinary environment, a stable economy is always a powerful anchor. But the economic borders of any State are so transparent today, and trade networks are so intertwined that it is almost an impossible task for any of the States to achieve economic stability on its own. Therefore, any country is interested in participating in powerful regional and international associations, for example, such as the EAEU, SCO, BRICS, and ASEAN”.

🇰🇿 Kassym-Jomart Tokayev: “The events of the past year have once again clearly demonstrated the importance of developing the North-South transport corridor as a key element of the new global logistics. This north-south corridor is consistent with the latitudinal Trans-Caspian international transport route. Therefore, we see significant synergy in the coordinated and systematic development of both routes. This is not only a growth point for the manufacturing industry, transport and the economy. These routes can fundamentally change the level of interaction and cooperation within the vast Eurasia. <...> In general, it can be said without exaggeration that now we are, in fact, forming a new transport framework for Eurasia, which has never existed before”.

🇰🇬 Sadyr Japarov: “Protection of business interests and their support from the State is a priority objective in all EAEU countries. In this regard, I believe it is necessary to elaborate on the expediency of establishing the Union's business ombudsman institution. <...> Creating the Eurasian rating agency, along with removing restrictions faced by business entities, would increase the level of financial independence of the Eurasian region countries and intensify investment activities".

🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin: “We see that really complex and fundamental changes are taking place on the global stage. More and more States are taking a course towards strengthening national sovereignty, pursuing an independent domestic and foreign policy, and adhering to their own development model. All of them are in favor of building a new, more equitable architecture of international economic relations, striving to constructively influence world processes, expand the network of partnerships based on mutual benefit, respect and consideration of each other's interests”.

🚀 Στις 30 Μαΐου του 1934 γεννήθηκε ο Ρώσος Σοβιετικός κοσμοναύτης Αλεξέι Λεόνοφ. Το 1965 πραγματοποίησε τον πρώτο διαστημικό περίπατο στην ιστορία.

Τα 12 λεπτά που πέρασε έξω από το διαστημόπλοιο «Βοσχόντ 2» έκαναν πραγματικότητα το μακροχρόνιο όνειρο των δισεκατομμυρίων.

🌠 Μια απόλυτη επική στιγμή στην ανθρώπινη ιστορία!

Η δραστηριότητα του ΝΑΤΟ στα Βαλκάνια από την αρχή έχει ως στόχο την καταστροφή της διεθνούς έννομης τάξης, της σταθερότητας και την πρόκληση ζημιών στις χώρες της περιοχής. Δεν έχει τίποτα κοινό με τις αξίες της ελευθερίας και της δημοκρατίας που διακηρύσσει η συμμαχία.
