#BRICS
Russia’s chairmanship of BRICS is picking up speed. Over 40 events across three main cooperation areas have already taken place, covering politics and security, the economy and finance, as well as cultural and humanitarian exchanges.
#Ukraine
Just a few days ago EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell admitted clearly once again that the Ukrainian conflict had had a quick peaceful solution since the very beginning, but he personally and on behalf of the European Union did not want the combat to cease. We have talked about this many times (citing Mr Borrell and other EU officials) pointing to the EU’s long-term investments in financing arms supplies to Ukraine, with which they expect to prolong the armed confrontation for at least several more years (in their own words).
This confirms the terrible reality: ordinary Ukrainians are just a tool that Vladimir Zelensky "sold" to the EU members in the name of his own enrichment and immorality, which is used to settle the West’s geopolitical scores with Russia.
#France #NATO #EU
We noted the recent aggressive remarks from the French leadership, which seem to be increasingly frequent. <…> It is noteworthy that the belligerent stance of the occupant of the Elysee Palace is not only met with disapproval among many EU and NATO allies but, crucially, among the majority of French citizens, too.

Kiev regime has lost all sense of humanity waging war on blocks of flats and civilians. The Kiev regime “leaders” cowardly avoiding accountability for their own failures, resort to all kinds of atrocities just to distract the population from the national catastrophe of historical scale in Ukraine.
#EU
If even one Russian media outlet faces unwarranted restrictions, it will have repercussions for their colleagues (Western journalists) in Russia. This is not a threat or a warning, but a description of an inevitable scenario under certain circumstances that may be orchestrated by the West.
#Neocolonialism
The Westerners are undermining the international currency and financial system that they themselves created. They are ignoring the lawful rights and interests of developing nations. In these conditions, the future belongs to new centres of financial and economic power.

#Ukraine
Despite Paris's attempts to conceal the involvement of its military personnel in the conflict, the Kiev regime is deliberately publicising this turn of events in order to once again declare broad international support.
<...>
In addition to France, Poland and the Baltic countries also spoke about the possible deployment of their military contingents. What does that mean? That means that their original plan regarding Ukraine has completely failed. They are frantically looking for new ways to continue this campaign. They are still afraid to tell the truth to the citizens of Ukraine that they have become a hostage and now also a victim of NATO’s reckless gamble led by the United States.

They reaffirmed their commitment to the BRICS spirit featuring mutual respect and understanding, equality, solidarity, openness, inclusiveness, and consensus.
<…>
5. Mindful of the 2023 Johannesburg II Declaration the Ministers voiced their support for a comprehensive reform of the #UnitedNations, including its Security Council, with a view to making it more democratic, representative, effective and efficient, and to increase the representation of developing countries in the Council’s memberships so that it can adequately respond to prevailing global challenges and support the legitimate aspirations of emerging and developing countries from Africa, Asia and Latin America, including BRICS countries, to play a greater role in international affairs, in particular in the United Nations, including its Security Council. They also recognized the legitimate aspirations of African countries, reflected in the Ezulwini Consensus and Sirte Declaration.
<…>
15. The Ministers recognised the negative impact on the world economy and sustainable development from unilateral approaches in breach of international law. They expressed concern about the use of unilateral coercive measures, which are incompatible with the principles of the Charter of the UN and produce negative effects on economic growth, trade, energy, health and food security notably in the developing world.
<…>
32. The Ministers recalled their national positions concerning the situation in and around #Ukraine as expressed in the appropriate fora, including the UN Security Council and UN General Assembly. They noted with appreciation relevant proposals of mediation and good offices aimed at peaceful resolution of the conflict through dialogue and diplomacy.
<…>
34. The Ministers expressed grave concern at the deterioration of the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, in particular the unprecedented escalation of violence in the #Gaza Strip as a result of the Israeli military operation that led to mass civilian displacement, death and casualties, and destruction of civilian infrastructure. In this regard they called for the effective implementation of the relevant UNGA resolutions and UNSC resolution 2720 and for immediate safe and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance at scale directly to the Palestinian civilian population throughout the Gaza Strip <…>
36. The Ministers reiterated that the principle “African solutions to African problems” should continue to serve as the basis for conflict resolution on the African continent. In this regard they reiterated their support for African peace efforts on the continent, including those undertaken by the African Union, and African sub-regional organisations.
<…>
40. The Ministers expressed strong condemnation of any acts of #terrorism as criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, whenever, wherever and by whomsoever committed. They strongly condemned the inhumane terrorist attack on 22 March 2024 at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow <…>
54. The Ministers expressed their full support to the Russian Federation’s BRICS Chairship in 2024 under the theme “Strengthening Multilateralism for Just Global Development and Security”.

#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.

#Ukraine
The Biden administration has lifted the restrictions [from the notorious Azov nationalist battalion] on the use of US weapons imposed earlier. Apparently, “after thorough review,” the US officials resolved that the Azov fighters never “espoused racist, xenophobic and ultranationalist views” or committed “humanitarian violations” after all.
Whatever the next bastard they bet on is capable of, if it suits their interests, they’ll be ready to put up with it.
#NATO
Ahead of the NATO summit in Washington, the alliance continues to ratchet up its propaganda rhetoric with regard to Russia. The bloc’s officials and the leadership of member countries are constantly talking about the threat of a Russian attack on the Baltic states and Poland.
Russia has not harboured any aggressive plans with regard to NATO and its member countries; nor does it have such plans today. At the same time, we realise that the alliance does have such plans. Washington does not need a peaceful Europe.

#Ukraine
NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg soured Zelensky’s mood by saying that Ukraine would only join NATO after it secured victory over Russia.
The Alliance clearly understands – both collectively and personally, just as Jens Stoltenberg does – that this will not come about, that Russia won’t be defeated. In other words, Kiev’s perennial efforts to join NATO have cost Ukraine its life.
Mr Stoltenberg will never admit this. But then, a day may come when their cynicism, Russophobia and disdainful attitude not only to Ukraine but also to all Slavic nations will force them to admit this. One day they will admit why they began this gamble.
#Sanctions
Today any country can lose its sovereign assets kept in the West if the United States and its client countries become displeased with that country’s domestic or foreign policy for any reason. Everyone can see that Washington, Brussels, London and their associates are expanding restrictions under far-fetched pretexts. <...>
Not surprisingly, Western currencies and reserve instruments are becoming increasingly toxic, and Western economies are rapidly losing their competitiveness and attraction for foreign assets. <...>
It is the price they will pay for stealing others’ assets, for geopolitical scheming and harassment, for interfering in others’ affairs with the use of illegal instruments, such as sanctions.

#Ukraine
Today’s Ukraine has long become a toxic state, rotten from the inside, which infects other countries with its corruption plague. This is something to be discussed on specialised platforms.
Mutually beneficial cooperation with the Kiev regime (it is important for the Global Majority countries to realise this, too) will only do harm, because no one will ever be able to estimate the true scale of corrupt schemes implemented by Bankovaya street.
They have clearly learned the trick by now. Their promises have brought huge gains to crime rings and arms barons around the world. In this sense, they feel like masters of the world right now.
#Ukraine #TheRepublicOfKorea
Given Seoul’s announced plans to reconsider its stance on supplying lethal weapons to the Kiev regime, we urge the Republic of Korea to avoid hasty actions that could irreversibly damage Russian-South Korean relations.
Russia cannot tolerate South Korean weaponry and military equipment being provided to the Ukrainian neo-Nazis to attack Russian territory and kill civilians.
#Sanctions
Despite the apparently exorbitant cost of the sanctions for those who have adopted them, the West continues with its suicidal anti-Russia policy. I do not mean the West as an association of people but as the regimes that have joined hands to line their pockets while pushing their people towards the abyss.
Leaders of the so-called "free world" are ruling in a world that is free from conscience and, now, money. While prioritising political considerations to the detriment of common logic and economic expedience, not to mention liberalism and economic freedoms, they are eroding the foundations of their own socioeconomic stability and the prosperity of their citizens.

🎙 Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia’s answers to media questions on the occasion of assuming UNSC Presidency by Russia (July 1, 2024)
#Ukraine
• President Putin in his recent remarks (of June 14) said that the reality changed, and we are ready anytime not just to interrupt the conflict, but to come to ending it, but the reality should be taken into account. The new reality that emerged during the period between April 22 and July 24. It was rejected by Kiev and by the West. But the problem for them is that the longer this thing continues, the more difficult the situation on the ground for them will be. <...> So, if they don't want to be realistic, let them not be.
• We are discouraging all countries from providing arms for Ukraine. The destiny of the weapons that will be eventually exported to Ukraine is clear. They will be destroyed, as the other weapons that the West and the US are supplying Ukraine with.
#Afghanistan
• The Taliban is de facto the authorities of Afghanistan. <...> You have to recognize this fact and deal with them as such.
• The rights of women and girls in Afghanistan should be observed and the government in Afghanistan should be inclusive, inclusive not just by nationalities, but by the political spectrum that exists to represent the country fully. The case today that it is not the fact and we have to accept it for the time being and continue pragmatic dealing with the current Afghan authorities.
#Syria
• You mentioned foreign presence in Syria. Yes, indeed. There are many foreign armies there; most of them are deployed there illegally. For example, the US that justifies its presence in Syria by Article 51 of the Charter. I wonder how Article 51 of the Charter works for the US in Syria.
The Syrian conflict is not ending because the reality on the ground is not changing. The Syrian government is subject to numerous <...> sanctions, unilateral coercive measures, with most of them originating in the West of course.

• On June 28, Zelensky extended greetings to Ukrainians on Constitution Day. It looked like a blatant mockery of the country’s citizens as well as its basic law. There is no way a person who has usurped power could be considered a guarantor of the Constitution in a democratic and law-based state.
❗️The road to Europe, which Zelensky covered in his “congratulations” much more extensively than the Constitution itself, is paved with dead Ukrainian citizens. <...> Condolences, not congratulations, are a far more suitable choice given the circumstances.
#Moldova
• The European Council has adopted a time-serving and totally politicised decision to open accession negotiations with Moldova on June 25. The Moldovan authorities saw this as the approval of their anti-Russia policy and a free hand to continue turning the republic into a “European dictatorship” under the guise of fighting the non-existent Russian “hybrid threats.”
☝️ Chisinau’s persecution campaigns and arbitrary acts are promoting an increasingly negative reaction in society.
#UnionState #RussiaBelarus #WWII
• Today, 80 years after the liberation of Belarus from the invaders, joint search teams and law enforcement agencies of the Union State of Russia and Belarus discover new crimes against humanity committed by the Nazi invaders and their collaborators.
👉 The enormous amount of work done by the two countries’ lawyers, historians and prosecutor’s offices made it possible to officially recognise the Nazi extermination policy during the war as a full-scale genocide of the Soviet people.
🔹 Ukrainian crisis
🔹 Kiev regime’s war crimes
🔹 Situation in Moldova
🔹 Independence Day of Belarus
🔹 London and its loyalists
🔹 UN General Assembly resolution on World Swahili Language Day
🔹 World Olympic Day and the decline of the Olympic Movement

#Ukraine #NATO
Ultimately, Kiev was promised an irreversible path to the alliance. I’m not sure what they have in mind when they say irreversible path. The only image this term conjures up is a road that leads to a precipice. Now, in order to make sense of what they are talking about, they have come up with another term for the irreversible path to the alliance and call it a bridge to the alliance. Truth be told, its length has yet to be determined. However, I will reveal a military secret for the Kiev regime to be aware of what it is about: it is indeed a bridge to NATO, but it’s a drawbridge any way you look at it.
#US
It is nobody’s business other than the US Department of State. But the other countries’ foreign ministries should be concerned with what President Biden said at the NATO summit. He did not speak about America’s domestic issues or the summit’s agenda but about global issues that concern absolutely all nations. The reaction of the international community, which became public knowledge several hours after Biden’s press statements, is indicative.
It was that reaction that made top news as the outcome of the NATO summit.
The US State Department and Administration probably thought that it would be seen as proof of Biden’s competence and competitiveness as a presidential candidate. But it turned out differently. They have only made matters worse, especially after President Biden called Putin the president of Ukraine and said that “Vice-President Trump” was qualified to be president.
#Armenia
Russia has never made its friends or partners choose between being “with us” and “against us.” This is contrary to our philosophy. Unlike this, the Western countries show unrestrained impudence and complete disregard for the interests and concerns of their strategic dialogue partners, present or future.
The Americans are motivated by self-interest, which is evident from their hitherto unseen active enthusiasm about looking after Armenia. The country has gone through difficult periods many times before. Why wasn’t the US showing generosity, helping, or offering Armenia opportunities?

🕯 On July 27, the Donetsk People’s Republic will mark a tragic date, Day of Remembrance for Child Victims of the War, established on July 11, 2022 by an executive order of the Head of the Republic.
• The number of underage children, killed by Kiev-controlled military formations, continues to increase in Donbass and elsewhere. On this day, we also remember innocent victims from the Belgorod, Kursk, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol, including those killed or wounded by militants of the Kiev regime.
• Unfortunately, it is impossible to bring back the deceased children and to provide closure for their parents and relatives. However, it is necessary to expose their murderers who will be severely punished. Russian investigative agencies will take care of this. There cannot be, nor will there be, any statute of limitations for these barbaric crimes.
#Moldova
⚠️ Reprisals against Moldovan citizens who support ties with Russia and call for expanded bilateral relations in all spheres have already broken all world records in terms of their dynamics in Moldova under the regime of Maia Sandu.
• Despite active official anti-Russia propaganda, most Moldovans do not see Russia as a threat and suggest expanding bilateral relations.
🤝 We completely share this mood. The people of Moldova have always been and still are our friends. I believe that they are well aware of this.

#Ukraine #KievRegimeCrimes
The Armed Forces of Ukraine’s attempt to invade Russian territory a priori precludes any possibility of talks with this junta of bandits. Yet, they were trying to impose their propaganda on the international community all the same.
Zelensky cynically declared that Ukraine’s goal was to create a “buffer zone” in the Russian region. There was not a single Western journalist (US, UK, German, Italian, French, etc.), who would inquire, how one thing (the “buffer zone) hang with the other (the strengthening of the bargaining position). Obviously, Zelensky wanted these “appeals to the nation” to boost his plummeting popularity ratings, prove his legitimacy, and get even more Western funding. Of course, all these statements are mutually contradictory and the Kiev regime’s criminal scheme was doomed to a crushing defeat from the very beginning.
#NordStream pipelines
For almost two years, the German side has responded to all inquiries from the Russian competent authorities regarding the bombing of the Nord Streams with nothing more than empty excuses and formal replies. Not a single paper they sent us contains any facts.
It is not the first time that Berlin has tried to convince the public and the world diplomatic community that it is allegedly fulfilling all its bilateral obligations of an international nature. It is trying to “feed” the international community this unleashed bureaucratic red tape as proof of fulfilling its international legal obligations. This is a lie. They do not provide the Russian side with any facts they have on this investigation, although they are obliged to.

#EEF2024
On September 3-6, the 9th Eastern Economic Forum (#EEF2024) will take place in Vladivostok . This forum was established by the President to promote the Far Eastern economy and to expand international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region.
Over the years, the Forum has firmly established itself as a leading venue for addressing socioeconomic priorities in the Asia-Pacific region. Top government officials from China, India, Kazakhstan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Republic of Korea, Armenia, and Japan have taken part in the forum over the years. Our partners are genuinely interested in deepening practical cooperation with Russia.
For instance, the 2023 #EEF was attended by over 7,000 representatives from the official, expert, and business circles across 62 countries in the Asia-Pacific region and other parts of the world.
#Ukraine #KievRegimeCrimes
Horrific testimonies from captured militants continue to reveal that the Ukrainian Armed Forces command is directly instructing servicemen to kill civilians and loot Russian territory.
The widespread and deliberate nature of the atrocities and looting committed by Ukrainian forces on the Russian territory is becoming increasingly evident.
The fact that the West refuses to recognise the terrorist and criminal nature of the Zelensky-led regime increases its direct responsibility for the bloody atrocities committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
#NoStatuteOfLimitations
After receiving a standing ovation in the House of Commons of the Canadian Parliament in September 2023 (for those who may have forgotten, he was a member of the 14th Waffen-SS Grenadier Division Galicia), a request was made to the Canadian authorities to extradite the former SS member involved in the murder of at least 500 innocent Soviet civilians. They refused to extradite him. Canada has become a haven for such individuals.
Last week, thanks to the efforts of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation and the National Central Bureau of Interpol at the Russian Interior Ministry, the Ukrainian Nazi was added to the Interpol General Secretariat’s wanted list. Fifteen member countries of the organisation have already joined in the search for him.
We are encouraged by this concrete example of Interpol’s commitment to holding Nazi criminals accountable, regardless of the statute of limitations, including their search and extradition for prosecution of crimes against humanity.
#WeRemember
A Russian youth delegation is paying a visit to Slovakia from August 25 to August 31 to take part in memorial functions dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Slovak National Uprising. The Russian representatives were invited by Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico.
The young Russians’ participation in a large-scale military memorial function in Slovakia reaffirms both countries’ commitment to their common historical values and the memory of their joint fight against Nazism and for Great Victory.
We are grateful to the Slovak leaders, the local authorities, and ordinary people for their caring attitude to the memorials and graves of Soviet soldiers, who died while liberating Slovakia during World War II.

🇷🇺💬 Déclarations du ministre russe des Affaires étrangères Sergueï Lavrov lors de la conférence de presse à l’issue de la septième réunion ministérielle du dialogue stratégique Russie-Conseil de coopération du Golfe (Riyad, le 9 septembre 2024):
#Ukraine
🔹La partie russe n’a jamais pris au sérieux la «formule de paix de Zelensky», mais a seulement exprimé sa surprise que quelqu’un d’autre y croit vraiment. Bien sûr, cela se produit sous la pression de l’Occident;
🔹Nous n’avons jamais voulu la terre de quelqu’un d’autre. Nous voulions simplement que les personnes qui font partie intégrante du monde russe, de la culture, de la langue, de l’histoire et de la religion russes soient traitées avec humanité, comme l’exigent le droit international, de nombreuses conventions sur les droits de l'homme et, surtout, la Charte des Nations unies.
🔹Rien ne fonctionnera si nous ne nous attaquons pas à la racine du problème. À cet égard, nous voyons d'un bon œil l'initiative du Président chinois Xi Jinping sur la sécurité mondiale, qui stipule que tout conflit doit être étudié à partir de ses causes profondes.
🔹La question n'est pas de savoir où se réunir et dans quelles circonstances. Il s'agit de savoir de quoi discuter. Si nous discutons d'appels au cessez-le-feu et pensons à des échanges de territoires, ce n'est pas sérieux. Je tiens à rappeler une fois de plus que le problème n'est pas celui des territoires, mais celui des droits des personnes.
🔹Si nous constatons une volonté sérieuse de défendre les droits de l'homme, que l'Occident brandit toujours fièrement sur ses «bannières», quelle que soit la question (mais pas sur celle-ci), je suis convaincu que nous nous mettrons facilement d'accord sur le lieu et l'heure de la réunion. Tout d'abord, nous devons comprendre de quoi nous allons discuter.
#Proche-Orient
🔹 Washington veut maintenir son monopole sur tous les processus au Proche-Orient. Nous avons constate à plusieurs reprises que cette position est un échec. La discussion d'aujourd'hui avec nos collègues des pays arabes du golfe Persique l'a pleinement confirmé.
🔹Il faut un cessez-le-feu immédiat. Et il ne faut pas oublier que la racine du problème réside dans l'incapacité, depuis près de 80 ans, à résoudre la question de la création d'un État palestinien.
#BRICS
🔹Les BRICS ont doublé le nombre de leurs membres, passant de cinq à dix. Cette organisation a déjà reçu plus de 30 demandes d'adhésion ou de relations particulières. Ce processus est le principal moteur de la mise en place d'un ordre mondial multipolaire.
🔹Les BRICS se développent de manière progressive. Cette tendance ne fera que s'intensifier et se renforcer. La présidence russe y contribue de toutes les manières possibles.

🎙 Excerpts and key points from Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to media questions during a news conference following the 7th Russia-GCC Ministerial Meeting for Strategic Dialogue (Riyadh, September 9, 2024)
#Ukraine
• We have never taken the “Zelensky formula” seriously and only marvelled that there are still people ready to buy it. Of course, this happens under the West’s pressure.
• But territories are neither here nor there. We just wanted the people, who are an inalienable part of the Russian world and the Russian culture, language, history, and religion, to be treated as human beings as required under international law, numerous conventions on human rights and minority rights, and primarily the UN Charter.
• No success will be achieved unless we get to the root of this problem. In this context, we appreciate the global security initiative announced by PRC President Xi Jinping, which says that it is necessary to start analysing any conflict from its prime causes.
• You should understand that it is not about the meeting location and participants, but about issues to be discussed. Meeting to talk about calls for a ceasefire and then territorial exchanges simply doesn’t cut it. Once again, the problem is not about territories but people’s rights.
As soon as we see the determination to protect human rights, a policy that the West always boasts about when addressing any issue (except this particular one), I am confident we will easily agree on the location and time of the meeting. But first we need to understand what exactly we are going to discuss.
#GEP
• At today’s meeting with the Gulf Cooperation Council, we discussed this Eurasia-based organisation’s promising potential for promoting the continent-wide processes and contributing to what President Vladimir Putin referred to as the Greater Eurasian Partnership.
• We want the nations of the Eurasian continent – the largest, fastest-growing, and most resource-rich part of the world – to decide their fate on their own.
#MiddleEast
• Washington wants to preserve its monopoly over any processes in the Middle East. We know many cases when this position has resulted in failure. Today’s discussion with our colleagues from the Persian Gulf’s Arab countries has fully confirmed us in this belief.
• An immediate ceasefire is necessary. Meanwhile, it is important to remember that the problem stems from the fact that the Palestinian state issue has not been resolved for almost 80 years.
#BRICS
• BRICS has doubled its membership from five to ten. It has already received more than 30 applications requesting either membership or special relations. This process is the main driving force behind the formation of a multipolar world order.
• BRICS is following an upward trajectory in its development, and this trend will only grow stronger. The Russian BRICS Chairmanship is greatly contributing to this.

#Ukraine
• We have never taken the “Zelensky formula” seriously and only marvelled that there are still people ready to buy it. Of course, this happens under the West’s pressure.
• But territories are neither here nor there. We just wanted the people, who are an inalienable part of the Russian world and the Russian culture, language, history, and religion, to be treated as human beings as required under international law, numerous conventions on human rights and minority rights, and primarily the UN Charter.
• No success will be achieved unless we get to the root of this problem. In this context, we appreciate the global security initiative announced by PRC President Xi Jinping, which says that it is necessary to start analysing any conflict from its prime causes.
• You should understand that it is not about the meeting location and participants, but about issues to be discussed. Meeting to talk about calls for a ceasefire and then territorial exchanges simply doesn’t cut it. Once again, the problem is not about territories but people’s rights.
As soon as we see the determination to protect human rights, a policy that the West always boasts about when addressing any issue (except this particular one), I am confident we will easily agree on the location and time of the meeting. But first we need to understand what exactly we are going to discuss.

#UNGA79
On September 10, the 79th Session of the UN General Assembly commenced. The Russian delegation is led by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. On September 28, he is scheduled to deliver remarks during the high-level General Debate, to be held on September 24−30.
Just as our partners in the Global Majority, we are committed to upholding the primacy of the goals and principles of the UN Charter in their entirety and interconnectivity. We will carry on our coordinated efforts against the West’s neo-colonial practices.
#Ukraine #KievRegimeCrimes
I cannot say that these crimes are on the conscience of the Kiev regime because they don’t have a conscience, just like their Western patrons. They are responsible for these crimes. What we should talk about in this case is not conscience but terrorism. The Russian law enforcement agencies register every crime, and those who commit them will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
We call on the relevant international organisations to face up to these and other crimes committed by the Kiev regime, including terrorist attacks, and to respond to them appropriately.
#RussiaChina
Modern Russian-Chinese relations are a more advanced form of interstate ties compared to the military-political alliances of the Cold War era. There is no bloc or confrontational focus in them; they are not directed at third countries. This is really important.
We regard each other as priority foreign policy partners. Moscow and Beijing’s positions on the fundamental aspects of the modern world order and key international issues coincide or are very similar.
