▫️On May 20, 2022, surrendered members of Azov nationalist regiment were taken to detention centre in Elenovka. The Ukrainian side insisted on this place of detention.

▫️On July 28, 2022, a video confession of Azov crimes by Dmitriy Kozatskyi was published, which could have been the end of the media promotion of Azov regiment.

▫️As a result, on the night of July 28-29, 2022, an attack was carried out on detention centre in Elenovka.

❗️The Ukrainian leadership gave the order to launch a missile strike as captured Azov regiment fighters started giving testimonies revealing their crimes, including against civilians.

I would like to remind the UN Secretariat and the entire world community that the principal cause of the accidents at Chernobyl plant and Fukushima NPP, despite the fact that in the first case there were nuclear reactor experiments and in the second case there was an earthquake and tsunami, was the failure of support systems, disruption of power supply, partial and complete blackout of cooling systems, which led to overheating of the nuclear fuel and destruction of the reactor.

▫️As a result of the Chernobyl accident, more than 20 European countries were contaminated with radioactive isotopes. Some 4,000 people have died from direct exposure to radiation, tens of thousands of cases of genetic deformities in newborns and hundreds of thousands of cases of cancer. Excluding the consequences of the forced evacuation, up to 100,000 people and more than 5.5 million people received an increased dose of radiation.

▫️At Fukushima, only at first sight the consequences may seem minor. Up to 500,000 people have been forcibly evacuated in stages, and the consequences of radioactive water dumped in the ocean will be felt by posterity.

▫️It seems to have been forgotten.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's interview with Newsweek magazine (September 21, 2022)

Key points

#Ukraine

🔹 The United States and its allies are ready to sacrifice Ukraine for the sake of their geopolitical goals. Washington is not interested in establishing peace and tranquillity in Ukraine.

#RussiaUS

🔹 The Russian-American interstate dialogue has been practically frozen owing the United States. It is objectively not possible to maintain normal communication with Washington declaring the strategic defeat of Russia as an objective.

#Sanctions

🔹 Unilateral restrictive measures have failed to shatter the Russian economy. Moreover, the sanctions have appeared to be a two-edge weapon: increasing prices and decreasing incomes are seen in many European countries, as well as energy shortages and threats of social upheavals.

#RussiaChina

🔹 Strategic partnership with China remains an absolute foreign policy priority for Russia. Together with our Chinese friends, we will keep working on improving the world situation, facilitate the creation of a just multi-polar system based on the UN Charter, and, first of all, on the fundamental principle of the sovereign equality of states.

#WorldOrder

🔹 The modern world is no longer West-centred. Today, strong, independent players from developing countries have emerged and they are increasingly visible. These states and their integration associations do not want to participate in the anti-Russian "crusade" instigated from Washington.

📄 Russian Foreign Ministry's comprehensive 2022 Report on:

❌ Situation with the Glorification of Nazism
❌ Spread of Neo-Nazism
❌ Other Practices that Contribute to Fuelling Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance

READ IN FULL (in PDF)

The Report comprises national overviews of the situation regarding the aforementioned disturbing manifestations in 43 countries (in alphabetic order): from Australia to the neo-Nazi infested Ukraine.

Based on data from international and national sources the document summarizes the factual information on new manifestations in focal countries. Selected national overviews of note:

Ukraine
USA
Canada
Estonia
Poland

In a number of states, state policies and media campaigns have increased the level of historical revisionism aimed at distorting and rewriting history, falsifying the USSR's key role in securing the Victory over Nazism. The importance of this historic event for all mankind can hardly be overestimated.

🎙 Highlights from President Vladimir Putin's remarks at the session of the Council of Heads of the CIS Security and Intelligence Agencies:
🔸 The world is changing and becoming multipolar before our very eyes.
🔸 Some members of the international community are doing everything in their power to preserve their faltering hegemony and to this end, they are using various political, military, economic, information and other methods and means, from destroying the legal framework of strategic stability to adopting unilateral sanctions against those who reject their policy.
🔸 Some countries have long been using the tactics of blackmail, pressure and intimidation throughout the CIS space. In particular, attempts continue to be made to implement ‘colour revolution’ scenarios, methods involving nationalism and extremism are employed, and armed conflicts, which directly threaten the security of all CIS members, are being stoked.
🔸 Ukraine has been made an instrument of US foreign policy. The country has actually lost its sovereignty and is being directly governed by the US, which is using it as a battering ram against Russia.
🔸 We can see the United States’ real attitude to its client states. Ukraine was almost immediately turned into a testing site for military biological experiments and is being flooded with weapons, including heavy weaponry, without any heed to the Kiev regime’s statements about its desire to obtain nuclear weapons.
🔸 The black market in arms operating in Ukraine is creating serious challenges. There is a persistent risk of criminals getting hold of more powerful weapons, including portable air defence systems and precision weapons.

Key points

#GrainInitiative

🔹 This entire process of exporting grain from the territory of Ukraine was organised under the pretext of securing the interests of the poorest countries.

But the overall picture is as follows: <...> only 3–4 or sometimes 5 percent goes to the poorest countries. Look, is this the outcome for which the deal was designed?

#NordStream

🔹 Europeans have shut their mouths and are keeping silent, as if this is how it should be, even though this is really and profoundly contrary to their interests. Moreover, somebody had the brass to suggest that it was Russia that blew up its own facility.

#Ukraine

🔹 In order to reach agreements, you should sit down at the negotiating table and talk. <...> How can we now discuss possible agreements if the other party is not even willing to talk to us?

#Ukraine

It is obvious that Kiev is not ready for dialogue. Vladimir Zelensky churns out all kinds of ideas and peace formulas, with the illusion of succeeding, with the Western assistance, in achieving the withdrawal of our troops from the Russian territories in Donbass, Crimea, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, making Russia pay reparations, voluntarily surrender to international tribunals, etc.

👉 Of course, we will not discuss conditions of this kind with anyone.

#OSCE

Let me tell you right away that the situation within the OSCE has been quite challenging. Created as a platform for promoting equitable dialogue and cooperation, this organisation has been going through a deep crisis these past few years.

We are now reaping the fruits of this selfish, short-sighted policy of our former partners. Our trust in them has suffered a major blow. One of the lessons is that if and when we ever start working together again, we will have to build new foundations because the past approaches are no longer working.

#JCPOA

The model we suggested was straightforward and clear: the United States and Iran move to meet each other halfway at the same time by gradually returning to compliance with the JCPOA. All details were worked out. This is a realistic scenario as long as there is political will to carry it out.

The fact that with the finishing line in sight, the United States and Europeans ran out of gas and focused on efforts to destabilise the internal political situation in Iran is another story.

☝️ Meanwhile, it is a fact of life that there is no reasonable alternative to the JCPOA.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions during a joint news conference with Foreign Minister of Belarus Sergey Aleinik following the meeting of the Boards of the Foreign Ministries of Russia and Belarus

📍 Minsk, January 19, 2023

Read in full

We share the view that the collective West has actually turned Ukraine into a bridgehead for the continued military-political cultivation of the post-Soviet space and for subversive activities against the Union State. This is creating a direct threat to the vital interests of Russia and Belarus.

☝️ However, in practice this Western blitzkrieg did not succeed either in Russia or Belarus.

#OSCE

I mentioned what was done to suppress information about the flagrant violation of international humanitarian law in the east of Ukraine as a result of the Kiev regime’s activities. The West remained silent on this topic, covering up these misdeeds.

The OSCE principles and its institutions are being discredited by the Special Representative on Freedom of the Media who keeps increasingly silent when it comes to obvious infractions on the part of the Ukrainian regime or its Western sponsors.

#NATO

Not only did the West ignore these warnings and start to develop (militarily) Ukrainian territory, but it also widely encouraged, in theory and practice, the neo-Nazi manifestations of the Ukrainian regime following the coup, which (judging by it all) could not have taken place without the consent (or even support) of the United States.

#Ukraine

All of that unfolded against the background of Zelensky’s ensuing moves who, just like Poroshenko, was elected under the banner of bringing peace to Donbass. Instead of following up on his election promises, he instantly did an about-face and declared in August 2021 that if someone identifies as a Russian in terms of culture, language or traditions, they should clear out for Russia. All of that was unfolding amid total silence on the part of the West, or rather, was encouraged by it.
