🗓 On June 15, 1798, the distinguished Russian diplomat and statesman Alexander Gorchakov was born.
Gorchakov is one of the most iconic figures in the 19th-century Russian and European political history. Largely due to his efforts, Russia was able to regain its positions lost after the defeat in the Crimean War and restore its right to maintain the Black Sea Fleet.
Gorchakov dedicated 65 years to his diplomatic career, serving as head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for 26 consecutive years. During this time, not only did he restore Russia’s international standing but also significantly reformed the diplomatic service, having streamlined it to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
“Russia is not angry, Russia is concentrating” – this famous phrase is attributed to Gorchakov. Thanks to his efforts, favourable conditions were established for implementing reforms that facilitated Russia’s economic breakthrough in the last third of the 19th century.

🗓 5-8 июня в Санкт-Петербурге прошёл XXVII Петербургский международный экономический форум. Престиж и значение Форума как одного из самых значимых деловых событий в мире продолжает неуклонно расти.
В 2024 году #ПМЭФ2024 посетило рекордное число участников: 21 800 человек из 139 стран и территорий.
В мероприятиях участвовали более 120 высокопоставленных иностранных официальных лиц: руководители международных организаций и объединений, иностранные министры, главы дипломатических представительств, главы иностранных городов и регионов. Наиболее многочисленные делегации прибыли из Китая 🇨🇳 – 192 участника, ОАЭ 🇦🇪 – 105, Зимбабве 🇿🇼 – 86, Казахстана 🇰🇿 – 84, Индии 🇮🇳 – 80, Омана 🇴🇲 – 75.

🎙 On June 14, President of Russia Vladimir Putin held a meeting with the senior officials of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
💬 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: Mr President! <...> Let me welcome you to this meeting on behalf of the entire staff. <...> I am confident that today’s meeting will enable us to specify all the areas of our practical work on the international stage.
💬 President Vladimir Putin: <...> I think it is important to assess the current situation in global and regional affairs, as well as set the appropriate tasks for the Foreign Ministry. Learn more
***
⚡️ Today, we are presenting another concrete and genuine peace proposal.
If Kiev and Western capitals reject it again, as they have done before, then ultimately, it becomes their responsibility, both political and moral, for the ongoing bloodshed. <...>
❗️I repeat our firm stance: Ukraine should adopt a neutral, non-aligned status, be nuclear-free, and undergo demilitarisation and denazification <...>.
Certainly, the rights, freedoms, and interests of Russian-speaking citizens in Ukraine must be fully protected. The new territorial realities, including the status of Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics, Kherson, and Zaporozhye regions as parts of the Russian Federation, should be acknowledged.
These foundational principles need to be formalised through fundamental international agreements in the future. Naturally, this entails the removal of all Western sanctions against Russia as well.
***
💬 In May 2014, the Constitutional Court of Ukraine ruled that, quote – “The president is elected for a term of five years, no matter whether the election is regular or early.” Furthermore, the Constitutional Court noted that “the president’s constitutional status implies no norms setting any other office term than that of five years” – end of quote, period.
What does this mean in relation to today’s situation? The presidential term of the previously elected head of Ukraine has expired along with his legitimacy, which cannot be reinstated by any tricks.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions following President Vladimir Putin’s meeting with senior Foreign Ministry officials (Moscow, June 14, 2024)
Key points
• Europe lost its independence. In this sense, the idea of achieving security within the Euro-Atlantic context is no longer relevant for us. Just as President Vladimir Putin has said, our goal is to ensure Eurasian security. This makes sense. After all, we share the same continent and there are no oceans or English channels, or what have you, separating us.
• In order to achieve these objectives, we must start by specifying what the Greater Eurasian Partnership concept and Eurasian security in all its dimensions stand for, including in military and political terms, economic and humanitarian affairs.
• As for Ukraine, I have nothing to add on this topic. President of Russia Vladimir Putin listed the gestures of good will (to an extent they can be viewed as partial concessions) we undertook after the Maidan uprisings and the February 2014 government coup. Russia took so many steps in its constructive approach and demonstrated its commitment to preserving the Ukrainian state and remaining on friendly terms with it, only to be rejected in a consistent, firm and categorical manner.
• President Vladimir Putin covered the legitimacy issue in all its aspects. This was not the first time he mentioned this topic. Everything is abundantly clear in this regard. In his previous statements on this topic, the President said that Ukraine’s political and legal framework must define the final decisions. Any legal experts will come to the same conclusion after reading the Ukrainian constitution. If everyone once again turnes a blind eye to this signal, this would be yet another disappointing experience for us regarding our Western partners.
• As for expectations, as far as I am concerned, for a long time already I do not expect anything from any place, especially from the leading European countries. I am sorry for them – that is what I can say, because they, as President of Russia Vladimir Putin confirmed today in his speech, are not independent.

🎙Exceprts from President of Russia Vladimir Putin's speech at the meeting with the senior officials of the Russian Foreign Ministry (June 14, 2024)
💬 President Putin: This is the task <...>: to outline a vision for equal and indivisible security, mutually beneficial and equitable cooperation, and development on the Eurasian continent in the foreseeable future.
What needs to be done to achieve this and on what principles?
👉 First, it is important to establish dialogue with all potential participants in this future security system. <...>
👉 Second, it is crucial to recognise that the future security architecture should be open to all Eurasian countries that wish to participate in its creation.
The threat to Europe does not come from Russia.
The main threat to Europeans is their critical and ever-increasing dependence on the United States <...>.
If Europe wants to continue being an independent centre of global development and a cultural and civilisational pole on our planet, it should definitely maintain good and friendly relations with Russia. Most importantly, we are ready for this. <...>
👉 Third, it is necessary to significantly intensify the dialogue process between multilateral organisations already operating in Eurasia to promote the idea of a Eurasian security system <...>.
👉 Fourth, we believe that the time has come to start a broad discussion of a new system of bilateral and multilateral guarantees of collective security in Eurasia. At the same time, it is necessary, in the long term, to gradually phase out the military presence of external powers in the Eurasian region. <...>
👉 Fifth, an crucial part of the Eurasian security and development system should definitely be the issues of the economy, social well-being, integration, and mutually beneficial cooperation <...>.
Through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I instruct you to assist as much as possible in developing international agreements in all these areas.

🇷🇺💬Points forts du discours du Président russe Vladimir Poutine lors d’une réunion au ministère russe des Affaires étrangères, le 14 juin 2024:
🔹Le monde change rapidement. Il ne sera plus jamais le même, ni sur le plan de la politique mondiale ni de l'économie;
🔹Une campagne de propagande anti-russe en Occident s'accompagne de spéculations selon lesquelles la Russie s'apprêterait à attaquer l'Europe. Nous savons tous qu'il s'agit d’une absurdité absolue, d'une justification de la course aux armements;
🔹Si l'Europe veut rester l'un des pôles de développement, elle doit avoir de bons rapports avec la Russie. Charles de Gaulle et Helmut Kohl le savait parfaitement;
🔹Le mandat présidentiel du dirigeant de l'Ukraine a expiré en même temps que sa légitimité, qui ne peut être rétablie par aucun trucage;
🔹Moscou cessera immédiatement le feu et se déclarera prête à négocier après que Kiev aura retiré ses troupes du territoire des nouvelles régions russes;
🔹La deuxième condition des négociations est que Kiev renonce à son intention d'adhérer à l'Otan;
🔹Pour parvenir à un règlement pacifique, la Russie a également besoin du statut neutre, non aligné et non nucléaire de l'Ukraine, de sa démilitarisation et de sa dénazification;
🔹Il ne s'agit pas de geler le conflit, mais d'y mettre fin.
