#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.

#Ukraine
• 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.

#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.

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.

• The annual Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok expands opportunities for new mutually beneficial agreements with our partners in the Asia Pacific region as well as deeper cooperation with them in priority sectors, both in their specific areas and on a wider scale.
• The People’s Republic of China remains a major foreign economic partner of Russia’s Far Eastern regions. <...> Interregional ties, including border links, have played an increasing role in the development of the Russia-China comprehensive and strategic partnership.
#Ukraine #KievRegimeCrimes
• The Ukrainian Nazis continue with their barbaric attacks on civilians in Russia. These are not hostilities but rather acts of terrorism and extremism. <...> A growing number of captured Ukrainian Nazis confirm that the orders to kill civilians and loot Russian territories are carried out under direct orders from their command.
• The ‘collective West’ acts as the main client and instigator of the Kiev regime’s military aggression. The West is openly and boldly demonstrating its direct involvement as a concerned party.
• The insane idea of supporting terror against Russia has garnered support from several other Western attendees of that event, namely the foreign ministers of the Netherlands, Poland, France and the Baltic regimes. EU politicians have abandoned rational thinking and prudence in the hope of getting short-lived political benefits and Washington’s approval.
#NordStream
• Official Berlin is trying to claim that the situation around the act of sabotage is advancing in the right direction, and that everything is proceeding according to plan. However, they have failed to unveil any specific results so far.
• We can see an ineffective approach, and we cannot help but ask: How sincere are the intentions of German authorities to conduct unbiased investigations?

🇷🇺💬 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.

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.

#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.

People who came to the temporary accommodation centre in Kursk told journalists about the first days of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ invasion of the Kursk Region, including the large number of civilian casualties.
According to eyewitnesses, the Ukrainians warned the residents that if they did not leave, then “foreign mercenaries would come and leave no one alive.” Sudzha resident Vladimir Maltsev said: “Georgians, Poles, Frenchmen – all these mercenaries – were exterminating people like cockroaches,” and “a lot of women were killed, abused, and raped.”

Kiev regime does not hide its links with terrorist groups around the world and, in particular, on the African continent and in the Middle East. The international community’s attention has been drawn to this more than once. In this regard, we note that an increasing number of states become aware of the terrorist nature of the Kiev regime.
We believe that this practice of criminal cooperation between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the international terrorist international is absolutely unacceptable. We will continue to fight this evil spirit by all available means, regardless of where it appears
#RussiaChina
Today, the relations between Russia and China are at their all-time high, and the effort to further reinforce them meets the long-term development goals of the two countries. This is a steady and lasting trend.
On the international stage, Russia and China have been acting in tandem and emerged as a major factor of stability. The two countries are committed to do even more to coordinate their actions in order to fast-track the emergence of a democratic multipolar world order with greater justice for all, empowering all countries to have a say on global governance matters, ensuring equal and indivisible security, and rejecting confrontation and conflict.
#BRICS
In our work, we primarily strive to stand up to the challenges and threats of our time, and find collective solutions to the global challenges of international development. Specifically, we focus on a wider use of national currencies, joint payment instruments and platforms in mutual trade transactions.
Our combined efforts are aimed at promoting and building an interconnected and interdependent international system on a non-aligned and non-hegemonic basis, which would give precedence to such common priorities as economic growth, poverty alleviation, food, climate and water security, combating international terrorism, extremism, and organised crime, etc.

#MiddleEast
• On October 7, 2023, Israeli citizens suffered a bloody terrorist attack, resulting in civilian casualties. It was followed by a chain of horrific, monstrous and bloody developments across the Middle East. Over the past year, dozens or even hundreds of people have died there.
• All this has been taking place against the backdrop of the unrelenting efforts by the West to add even more fuel to the fire in its determination to block any attempts to settle the conflict that is currently raging there through political and diplomatic means.
❗️ We consider the Lebanese operation as a component of the current unprecedented escalation in the Middle East. We strongly condemn any hostilities that aim to inflame tensions across the entire region. <...> We stand for an immediate ceasefire.
#Ukraine #KievRegimeCrimes
• Russia referred the materials on reprisals by the Ukrainian Nazis against civilians in the Kursk Region to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. This and other specialised international agencies will have to provide their substantive responses regarding the Ukrainian neo-Nazis atrocities.
• Both the Ukrainian neo-Nazis and the foreign mercenaries have been hunting down civilians intentionally and knowingly. They clearly understood what they were doing and fully realised who their targets were. It did not matter for them if they targeted a child, a woman or an elderly person. These people are terrorists who are intent on killing civilians, which reveals the very essence of Zelensky’s regime.
❗️ These crimes lie on the Kiev clique’s conscience, if we suppose that it has one, and that of its Western masters. Russian law enforcement agencies collect evidence and report all these crimes, so that everyone who was involved in perpetrating them is held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
#Canada #NeoNazism
• Fifteen years ago, the authorities in the capital of Canada decided to erect a monument to the victims of Communism. There were plans to unveil it a year ago. However, the official ceremony was put off indefinitely following an international scandal with standing ovations for former Waffen SS member Hunka at the national parliament. They decided to sit it out, so as not to become involved in an even greater scandal.
• A new scandal around the odious monument once again highlights official Ottawa’s double standards and hypocrisy. By portraying Nazi criminals and their servants, who obtained political asylum after World War II en-masse in accordance with a simplified procedure, Canadian politicians are trying to portray them as “victims of Communism.”

#MiddleEast
• On October 7, 2023, Israeli citizens suffered a bloody terrorist attack, resulting in civilian casualties. It was followed by a chain of horrific, monstrous and bloody developments across the Middle East. Over the past year, dozens or even hundreds of people have died there.
• All this has been taking place against the backdrop of the unrelenting efforts by the West to add even more fuel to the fire in its determination to block any attempts to settle the conflict that is currently raging there through political and diplomatic means.
❗️ We consider the Lebanese operation as a component of the current unprecedented escalation in the Middle East. We strongly condemn any hostilities that aim to inflame tensions across the entire region. <...> We stand for an immediate ceasefire.
#Ukraine #KievRegimeCrimes
• Russia referred the materials on reprisals by the Ukrainian Nazis against civilians in the Kursk Region to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. This and other specialised international agencies will have to provide their substantive responses regarding the Ukrainian neo-Nazis atrocities.
• Both the Ukrainian neo-Nazis and the foreign mercenaries have been hunting down civilians intentionally and knowingly. They clearly understood what they were doing and fully realised who their targets were. It did not matter for them if they targeted a child, a woman or an elderly person. These people are terrorists who are intent on killing civilians, which reveals the very essence of Zelensky’s regime.
❗️ These crimes lie on the Kiev clique’s conscience, if we suppose that it has one, and that of its Western masters. Russian law enforcement agencies collect evidence and report all these crimes, so that everyone who was involved in perpetrating them is held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
#Canada #NeoNazism
• Fifteen years ago, the authorities in the capital of Canada decided to erect a monument to the victims of Communism. There were plans to unveil it a year ago. However, the official ceremony was put off indefinitely following an international scandal with standing ovations for former Waffen SS member Hunka at the national parliament. They decided to sit it out, so as not to become involved in an even greater scandal.
• A new scandal around the odious monument once again highlights official Ottawa’s double standards and hypocrisy. By portraying Nazi criminals and their servants, who obtained political asylum after World War II en-masse in accordance with a simplified procedure, Canadian politicians are trying to portray them as “victims of Communism.”
