#Lebanon
We are deeply concerned about the dangerous developments in the Republic of Lebanon. On September 19, the Israeli Air Force conducted a number of mass strikes in some districts in the south of Lebanon.
We express our solidarity with Lebanon and strongly condemn the terrorist acts of armed aggression committed against that country and its citizens, which have resulted in the deaths of civilians and the destruction of social infrastructure.
We have noted the Israeli statements about “a new phase in the military campaign with a refocusing on the northern area.” We believe that the beginning of a large-scale military operation in Lebanon would have devastating effects on security throughout the entire Middle East. Such a catastrophic scenario must be avoided.
#Ukraine #KievRegimeCrimes
We have noted recent reports by the Turkish and Syrian newspapers Aydinlik Gazetesi and Al-Watan on holding talks by Ukrainian emissaries with the terrorist organisation Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham regarding the recruitment of fighters in the Syrian province of Idlib for joint preparations for attacks on Russia.
According to reports received by the media from Syrian sources, 250 instructors from the Ukrainian Armed Forces have recently arrived in Idlib to train terrorists from the above organisation.
The Kiev regime has long been betting on terrorism, threatening the entire world with unpredictable and extremely dangerous consequences.
#Moldova
The pro-Western leadership of Moldova continues to instil aggressive Russophobia in the republic, persistently but unsuccessfully trying to convince ordinary Moldovans that our country is the source of all troubles and misfortunes.
We see that the residents of Moldova are sick and tired of the European integration experiments the current authorities have conducted on them. They are consolidating to oppose the interests and values that they are being forced to accept.
#KoreanPeninsula
The United States and the Republic of Korea have been increasingly active militarily on the Korean Peninsula.
Washington, Seoul and Tokyo are creating a trilateral military cooperation system, hatching plans for regular trilateral inter-service drills. The defence ministers of the three countries hold meetings to prepare the ground for the “coalition’s” possible mobilisation and assignment of roles in a hypothetical conflict with the DPRK.
To justify their aggressive intentions, the West has invented “threats” allegedly posed by Russia and the DPRK.
Implementing the revanchist plans to change the status quo on the peninsula is provoking an uncontrolled escalation of military tensions. We hope that the United States and South Korea understand the risks involved in their continued attempts to foment military hysteria and settle the scores with the DPRK.

#NATO #Ukraine
We have noted that the British press is reporting on the intentions of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron to persuade the incumbent US President Joe Biden to allow Kiev to launch Storm Shadow cruise missiles deep inside Russia's territory before Donald Trump’s inauguration. According to the media, London hopes that the White House will finally approve this step.
We would like to remind Washington, London, Paris and Brussels that they continue to play with fire. President of Russia Vladimir Putin has clearly outlined our response: if Ukraine receives permission to launch such strikes, it would indicate that NATO countries have effectively entered into a direct armed conflict with Russia. This would fundamentally alter the nature and essence of the conflict, with all the ensuing consequences.
❗️ If they use long-range Western systems against the territory of our country, they will face an inevitable and devastating response.
#WhiteHelmets
On October 25, 2024, the UK’s Foreign Office marked the tenth anniversary of the White Helmets NGO by issuing a lengthy statement commending this entity, which is still viewed as a humanitarian organisation in the West. Apart from London, several other sponsors signed this paper: Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Qatar and the United States.
And this is happening after everything the White Helmets did in Syria. They used the suffering of the people of Syria as a cheap, albeit bloody, publicity stunt and made working with terrorists their hallmark. London is not even trying to conceal its support for these undercover fighters and has commended the “tremendous efforts and courage” of this “humanitarian organisation.”
The White Helmets remain a major destabilising factor in Syria. Their removal from the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, termination of their activities and exposure of their past crimes are essential for achieving stability in Syria, a country which has suffered so much, and across the region.
#UNESCO #KievRegimeCrimes
The UNESCO Secretariat and in particular Director-General Audrey Azoulay herself continue to openly disregard the Kiev regime’s crimes committed against Russian journalists, including premeditated murders, terrorist attacks and assassination attempts.
We are outraged by the draft report of the UNESCO Director-General, which will be submitted to the Intergovernmental Council of the International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC), which will convene in Paris on November 21-22 <...>.
The report is based on “information” provided by politically biased pro-Western NGOs and does not mention the murder of Russian journalists.

❓ Question: The Russian Investigative Committee released new data on atrocities committed by the Ukrainian armed forces in the Russkoye Porechnoye village, Kursk Region. The report, in particular, quotes forensic experts and servicemen as saying of the inhuman cruelty with which civilians were killed. Will Russia demand that these crimes be condemned by international organisations?
💬 Maria Zakharova: The Russian Foreign Ministry has already provided a detailed assessment of these atrocities by the Kiev regime.
Photos and videos were distributed during the briefing, which SHOCKED the journalists.
Correspondents, who had seen a lot, could not believe that such inhuman cruelty, exposing the beastly nature of the terrorist scum, was possible in the 21st century. The information that has emerged, including the fact that Ukrainian Nazis opened fierce fire during the evacuation of killed civilians from the village of Russkoye Porechnoye by Russian troops, is another testament to the criminal nature of the terrorist regime in Kiev.
Obviously, the extremists knew that they were committing a grave crime and tried to destroy evidences.
#KievRegimeCrimes
We believe it is crucial to inform the broadest international community of the crimes committed in the temporarily occupied territories of the Kursk Region. Russian news agencies already possess an exhaustive body of evidence of neo-Nazi punitive operations against civilians protected by a number of international documents including provisions of the binding Fourth Geneva Convention.
Particular focus should be given to a selective nature of persecution of the elderly, the most socially vulnerable members of the occupied population.
The supporting materials distributed by the Russia Investigative Committee clearly show signs of grave offenses committed during the armed conflict: hands bound with duct tapes, traces of torture, bruises from blows, gunshot wounds, bodies of people whose deaths resulted from hours of abuse by perpetrators, evidence of rape and other violent sexual acts.
The Main Military Investigative Directorate of the Russian Investigative Committee has already initiated a criminal case against members of Ukrainian armed units implicated in the terrorist act against civilians in the Kursk Region under Article 205, Part 3, Paragraph (b) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Terrorist Act Causing Death to an Individual). A number of Ukrainian servicemen from the 92nd Detached Assault Brigade were found to have been involved in the crimes.
We believe that the bloody nature of the Kiev troops' actions in the Kursk Region should be widely exposed on international platforms such as the United Nations, the OSCE and their relevant structures, recorded by representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross and become the subject of proceedings by international human rights mechanisms, including NGOs.
We are certain that the real nature of Zelensky's junta was most clearly manifested in Russkoye Porechnoye, whose name has obviously become one of the driving factors for the Russophobic regime in Kiev and its armed gangs: it is against everything Russian that the current post-Maidan authorities are fighting with support of the “collective West.”

#USA #PotomacRiverTragedy
In the evening of January 29, a passenger plane and a military helicopter collided in mid-air over Washington, killing 67 people. We express our deep condolences to the victims’ families and the American people.
#FalsificationOfHistory
The collective West is bent on erasing all positive developments from historical memory and smearing the Red Army rather than preserving memory and thanking their liberators [of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp], our soldiers, who defeated the Third Reich.
Zelensky’s appearance in Oswiecim sparked an outrage among Poland’s religious Jewish community. Poland’s Chief Rabbi Michael Schudrich said its representatives refused to go to an event attended by a dictator who has domesticated Nazis.
#KievRegimeCrimes #NeoNazism
The modern-day Bandera followers are trying to keep up with their ideological cult figures and continue to terrorise civilians and to attack civilian infrastructure in the Russian regions.
The representatives of the Kiev regime are neo-Nazis, not only in relation to the Russian-speaking population, but also to all citizens of Ukraine. Genocide of its own population is underway in Ukraine, and it is committed by those whom the people of Ukraine voted for as their leaders.
The Kiev regime is doing its utmost to erase the memory of the liberator soldiers, who were Russians and people of other Soviet nationalities, including many Ukrainians. Nationalists are maniacally demolishing the monuments and graves of Red Army soldiers throughout Ukraine, or rather in what’s left of Ukraine due to actions of the Kiev regime and its Western sponsors.
The Kiev regime continues to deride the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The Westerners have always been behind the lawlessness and legal chaos in Ukraine. They use the dirtiest methods to destroy Orthodoxy in Ukraine, distort it beyond recognition, and replace concepts.
#Sanctions #USA
Western sanctions and weaponising reserve currencies by Washington and its satellites have undermined the international players’ confidence in the global financial architecture based on the dominance of the US dollar and the euro, which has led to an increase in the share of alternative monetary units in international payments and savings.
Acting as part of associations such as #BRICS, the #SCO, #ASEAN, and on a bilateral footing, member countries are stepping up the dialogue on using national currencies in mutual trade and taking steps to build the necessary payment and settlement infrastructure that would be independent of Western countries.
#GreatPatrioticWar #YaltaConference
On February 4, 1945, a conference with the participation of the three Allied leaders opened in Livadia Palace outside Yalta.
Thanks largely to the efforts of Soviet diplomacy, the decisions adopted at the Yalta Conference had a great influence on bringing an early end to the Second World War and the post-war organisation of the world, and became an integral part of the Yalta-Potsdam system of international relations.

🎥 Toxic War — an RT Doc Film.
Synopsis: In this investigative documentary, military documentarians from RT provide evidence of the systematic and widespread use of chemical substances by the Kiev regime against civilians, which constitutes a gross violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention.
In the zone of the special military operation, members of the Russian forces have recorded over 400 cases of Ukrainian armed formations using toxic substances and chemicals. At the abandoned AFU positions, laboratories, drones, and toxic agents intended for dispersal over residential areas were discovered.
Several surviving witnesses describe how they were paralyzed after being exposed to an unknown deadly substance and how Ukrainian soldiers arrived at the site of the "operation" not to offer help, but to confirm that the experiment on humans had been successful.
📺 Watch the documentary to learn more about the Kiev regime's use of banned chemical weapons, see who is covering up these crimes, and hear the stories of the victims of inhumane experiments by Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
