#Ukraine
On May 31, Washington, following a number of European countries, gave the Kiev regime a green light to use the supplied weapons for strikes at the Russian areas bordering on the Kharkov Region. Declaring this decision, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the strikes will reach deeper inside Russia and the West will keep on adjusting its strategy.
Fire (not the West’s stance) adjustment has been carried out by Washington for all these years, not only starting from 2022. The involvement of Western countries in destroying Ukrainian statehood and in direct hostilities against peaceful civilian population in Donbass is not a secret.
#KoreanPeninsula
The negative trends in the subregion are caused by the actions of the US. They consistently engage in military manoeuvres with their allies. These actions are attempts at intimidation under the guise of addressing the “North Korean threat.”
<...>
Washington forges a tripartite military alliance with Seoul and Tokyo, not only to target the DPRK but also to strategically constrain Moscow and Beijing.

#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.
