✉️ Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s greetings to organisers, participants and guests of the 22nd 'Amur Autumn' International Film and Theatre Festival
✍️ I would like to extend warm greetings to the organisers, participants and guests of the 22nd Amur Autumn International Film and Theatre Festival.
Over more than two decades of its existence, your festival has garnered well-deserved acclaim as one of the key cultural events in the Russian Far East. It has become a popular platform for promoting the Russian cinema and theatre industry.
I am delighted to note that the programme of the Amur Autumn festival is becoming more diverse, involving an increasing number of participants and expanding its geographical reach. This year, the festival will host the first international contest of short and full-length feature films, featuring representatives of Asian and CIS countries.
This year’s festival holds special significance in the context of the cross years of culture between Russia and China, as well as the celebrations of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between our countries. I am convinced that this event will make a meaningful contribution to the development of Russian-Chinese cultural and humanitarian cooperation and to strengthening the friendship and neighbourly relations between our nations.
🤝 I wish the organisers and participants continued success in reaching new creative heights, and the audience an unforgettable and inspiring experience.

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.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:
💬 Back in March 2023, New York Times reporters Justin Scheck and Thomas Gibbons researched over 100 pages of documents from American “volunteer groups” in Ukraine and interviewed more than 30 mercenaries, fundraisers, donors to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and American and Ukrainian officials.
Among the biographies of inveterate swindlers and fraudsters they compiled, they also found... Who do you think? Ryan Routh, the shooter who was lying in wait for Donald Trump at a golf club in West Palm Beach. The former construction worker from Greensboro became infected with the idea of supplying cannon fodder for the Ukrainian armed forces and began searching for recruits among former Afghan servicemen who fled from the Taliban to neighbouring countries. He was going to smuggle them to Ukraine from Iran and Pakistan, and even bragged that he was planning to buy fake passports there, since Pakistan was “a very corrupt country.”
According to the notes, Routh gathered a well-suited company of his compatriots to help in his Ukrainian affairs. Well, sort of. Here's a few examples.
James Vasquez. Kiev hired him as a “valuable military specialist” who fought in Iraq and Kuwait, probably because he bragged about it on social media. In fact, Vasquez was not in Kuwait, Iraq, or anywhere else. He spent some time in the United States as a private reservist and specialised in repairing fuel and electrical equipment.
John McIntyre. He joined the International Legion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. For a long time, he presented himself as a “prominent expert” in intelligence. He defected to Russia at the first chance.
Malcolm Nance. An encryption specialist who served in the US Navy. It turned out that he was bullying his fellow servicepeople on social media and writing denunciations based solely on his own imagination. He fled the battlefield, taking cash with him, and later decided to make some money once again pretending to help the Kiev regime.
Ben Lackey. He pretended he was a Navy SEAL veteran while in fact working as waiter at an American steakhouse. At least this one had actually taken part in bloody “showdowns,” or rather butchering.
Grady Williams. A retired drug addict. He got a weapon somehow, fought a little in Ukraine and fled to Georgia, where he continues to participate in corruption schemes. He dreams of a motorcycle.
There are hundreds of stories like these.
And now the final flourish. Officials admitted to the journalists that they only spend 10 minutes checking the documents of a potential foreign fighter according to regulations. This means that anyone can end up in the Ukrainian armed forces, gaining access to firearms and explosives. That is why they shoot down planes with their own war prisoners as well as American F-16. This is also a reason why Russia is raising alarm trying to draw attention to the nuclear stations that are being systematically shelled by the Kiev regime.
Like a magnet, Zelensky attracts not just an incompetent rabble to Ukraine, but outright scumbags to his neo-Nazi fighters. Both Western readers of The New York Times and everyone else must know what is behind the curtains of the West’s comprehensive assistance to the Ukrainian Nazis, even at the level of these “people’s activists,” and think about what these people, who have not a shred of conscience, will do in their homeland when they get bored of playing defenders of Ukraine.
Those of them who survive [their mercenary tours, mentally & physically damaged] will return to the US.
And they will continue doing Routh’s work — i.e. shooting at their own POWs.

🗓 On September 16, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates of the Arab Republic of Egypt Badr Abdelatty held talks in Moscow.
The Ministers specifically discussed a wide range of issues related to further dynamic development of the traditionally friendly Russian-Egyptian relations. They also reaffirmed Moscow and Cairo’s mutual commitment to establish comprehensive cooperation in accordance with the interstate Treaty on Comprehensive Partnership and Strategic Cooperation signed in Sochi in October 2018.
The Ministers noted the leading role of the Joint Russian-Egyptian Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation in increasing the volume of bilateral trade and expanding cooperation in industry, energy and agriculture. In this context, the implementation of large joint investment projects was highlighted, first of all the construction of the first nuclear power plant in Egypt, El Dabaa, and creation of a Russian industrial zone in the Suez Canal Economic Zone. The Russian Side reaffirmed its readiness to continue timely supplies of Russian grain products to Egypt.
🤝 The Ministers also discussed topical international and regional problems. Moscow and Cairo’s mutual intention to maintain coordination at the UN, #BRICS and other multilateral platforms was reaffirmed. It was noted that Russia and Egypt had similar approaches to resolving the ongoing crises and conflict situations in the Middle East and the African continent through political and diplomatic means in accordance with international law and the provisions of the UN Charter.
Sergey Lavrov informed Badr Abdelatty in detail about Russia’s fundamental assessments and considerations on the Ukrainian issue.
When discussing the situation in and around the Gaza Strip, the Foreign Ministers highlighted that it was necessary to cease fire as soon as possible and provide urgent humanitarian assistance to the people in the enclave. They also emphasised that a comprehensive peaceful Palestinian-Israeli settlement on a generally accepted international legal basis, which provides for the creation of an independent State of Palestine within the 1967 borders with its capital in East Jerusalem, was a priority.
The Ministers reaffirmed Russia and Egypt’s commitment to continue efforts aimed at prompt political settlement to the crisis in Libya, based on the principles of its unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
🌍 Special focus was placed on preparations for the first ministerial conference of the #RussiaAfrica Partnership Forum scheduled to take place in Sochi in November.

Read in full
💬 Sergey Lavrov: We expressed satisfaction with the level of traditionally friendly Russian-Egyptian relations which are advancing in accordance with the Treaty on Comprehensive Partnership and Strategic Cooperation. <...>
The positive dynamics of trade and economic cooperation is encouraging. In 2023, bilateral trade exceeded the $7 billion mark, which is significantly more than the year before. We are committed to doing everything possible to maintain and reinforce this uptrend. <...>
We reviewed the progress of implementation of major joint investment projects, primarily the El Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant and a Russian industrial zone near the Suez Canal. We had an extensive discussion about Russia’s grain supplies to the Egyptian market, and noted their stability.
We both agreed that Egypt’s accession to BRICS in January had given a strong boost to our partnership. <...>
We had an in-depth discussion of current international and regional issues. We share common commitment to continuing close coordination at the UN and other multilateral platforms.
We focused on the crisis situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone in light of the unprecedented escalation of violence in the Gaza Strip. We stand united with our Egyptian friends in calling for immediate ceasefire and providing urgent humanitarian assistance to the people of the enclave. <...>
We discussed in detail the situation in and around Libya. Like our Egyptian friends, we are committed to the concept of a comprehensive crisis settlement based on the principles of Libya’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity. <...>
We welcomed our Egyptian partners’ commitment to expanding political dialogue with Syria. Cairo’s constructive position was instrumental in deciding to restore Damascus’ full membership in the League of Arab States. <...>
There are many other issues which directly affect Egypt’s interests in the regions that lie next to the Arab Republic of Egypt, such as Sudan, Somalia, and the Red Sea. We believe all these issues should be addressed through direct dialogue between the parties involved with the support of neighbouring countries. <...>
🤝 I expressed my gratitude to our Egyptian friends for their balanced and constructive stance on the situation in and around Ukraine. We exchanged views on how this issue is being discussed at various venues. I outlined our perspective on the emerging issues, including within the international community, and our vision of ways to overcome them based on the legitimate interests of the Russian Federation.

Tune in for an insightful discussion as Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin and Richard Sakwa, esteemed political scientist and Emeritus Professor at the University of Kent, explore the complex history and pressing challenges shaping European security today.
This expert conversation will cover the legacy of the Cold War era, the UN Security Council reform, Russia-NATO relations, and the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

💬 Andrei Kelin: Here in London, most politicians seem to believe that the war [in Ukraine] started in February 2022, which is not true. Nobody wants to recall what has happened much earlier, in the early 2000s.
That is why we are trying to involve them in discussions about earlier events, such as Georgia in August 2008. What has happened in Ukraine, from Viktor Yushchenko until now, gives you the real picture of how we arrived at this point.
Without understanding the history, one cannot draw proper conclusions. And this lack of understanding could lead us to a real disaster.

💡 EU’s “Green Agenda”: what it promises for the Global South?
Brussels is doubling down on its “green agenda,” aiming to cut fossil fuel use and boost energy efficiency. The focus is on reducing consumption to enhance the EU's energy security and competitiveness. But what does this mean for the Global South?
❌ Major hydrocarbon projects are off the table, and new infrastructure risks becoming obsolete. Recent updates show minimal EU investment in gas projects like the Southern Gas Corridor and Trans-Caspian pipeline.
❗️ For countries seeking EU funds, the stakes are high – not just financial but political. There’s a demand for political alignment and adherence to Western policies.

По поступающим в СВР данным, в руководстве спецслужб и военном командовании киевского режима с подачи кураторов из США прорабатывается сценарий очередной бесчеловечной провокации. Предполагается инсценировать российский ракетный удар по детскому учреждению на контролируемой Киевом территории - больнице или детсаду - с большим количеством жертв. Предусматривается широкое медийное освещение этой трагедии с привлечением ведущих международных СМИ.
Руководство Украины рассчитывает таким изуверским способом повысить боевой дух ВСУ, обосновать снятие Западом ограничений на использование ракетного вооружения для поражения объектов в глубине территории России, привлечь поддержку стран Глобального Юга. Жизнями украинских детей, поставленных таким образом под удар, клика Зеленского пренебрегает.
Одновременно американцы планируют использовать провокацию для усиления уже развернутой ими кампании давления на Иран, а также КНДР за якобы осуществляемые поставки Москве баллистических ракет. Предполагается утверждать, что именно такие боеприпасы применялись при нанесении ударов по детскому учреждению. Госсекретарь США Э.Блинкен уже призвал страны ЕС вводить новые санкции против Тегерана и Пхеньяна за передачу оружия российской стороне. Таким образом Вашингтон подводит европейцев к тому, чтобы они незамедлительно и максимально жестко отреагировали на инцидент, осудив Россию и ее партнеров.
Развитие украинского кризиса показывает, что Киев и его западные спонсоры отказываются учиться на своих ошибках. После череды кровавых провокаций, включая циничную инсценировку в Буче, удар украинской ракетой по вокзалу в Краматорске и недавнее падение ракеты украинской ПВО на территории киевской больницы "Охматдет", уже мало кто в мире верит в "коварство" Москвы и "невинность" Киева.

💬 На сайте МИД России опубликован очередной ежегодный доклад о ситуации с героизацией нацизма, распространении неонацизма и других видов практики, которые способствуют эскалации современных форм расизма, расовой дискриминации, ксенофобии и связанной с ними нетерпимости. В этом году его выпуск приурочен к 3 сентября – Дню Победы над милитаристской Японией и окончания Второй мировой войны.
🇺🇳 Доклад традиционно основывается на положениях тематической резолюции «Борьба с героизацией нацизма, неонацизмом и другими видами практики, которые способствуют эскалации современных форм расизма, расовой дискриминации, ксенофобии и связанной с ними нетерпимости», которую Россия совместно с широким кругом соавторов из всех регионов мира ежегодно вносит на рассмотрение Генеральной Ассамблеи ООН. Важно отметить, что абсолютное большинство членов мирового сообщества разделяет российские подходы по данному вопросу. Так, в 2023 году российскую резолюцию поддержали 118 стран. Против выступили лишь 49 делегаций, включая (традиционно) США и Украину, а также государства-члены ЕС, натоцентричные страны.
С сожалением приходится констатировать, что история повторяется. Разработанные нацистской Германией и милитаристской Японией шаблоны находят в наши дни применение в ряде государств, власти которых не только прославляют идеи нацизма, но и с особым рвением воплощают их в жизнь. Это видно из предпринимаемых ими попыток по переформатированию общественного сознания, стиранию исторической памяти, насаждению неонацистской идеологии среди подрастающих поколений. Прослеживается общая тенденция на проведение политики фальсификации истории Второй мировой войны, замалчивания героического подвига советского народа, умаления роли СССР в Победе над нацизмом. Особенно прискорбно наблюдать как правительства стран, входивших в антигитлеровскую коалицию, изничтожают память о подвигах своих граждан – солдат и простых людей, чьи жизни были отданы в борьбе с фашизмом.
С началом специальной военной операции по денацификации и демилитаризации Украины и защите мирного населения Донбасса страны «коллективного Запада» открыто оказывают поддержку фашистской идеологии, представленной в лице нацистского киевского режима, который, впрочем, целенаправленно и последовательно был ими взращен. Власти этих государств продолжают, зачастую в ущерб своим экономикам и благосостоянию народа, бросать все имеющиеся в их распоряжении ресурсы для «накачивания» вооружениями ВСУ, в которые входят неонацистские формирования, использующие западные военные поставки для террористических атак на мирное население и гражданскую инфраструктуру.
Небывалого абсурда достигла ситуация в странах Прибалтики, в Польше, Чехии, где по указке западных кураторов создаётся «новая» история прошлого – искажаются исторические факты, ведётся борьба с советскими памятниками, цинично отождествляются коммунизм и фашизм, поощряются проявления русофобии, доходит до открытого обеления и героизации нацистов и их пособников.
В этом же ряду – США, Британия и Канада, чьи правительства предпочитают закрывать глаза на проявления расизма и ксенофобии.
Что, в свою очередь, не вызывает удивления, ведь все их усилия в этой области преимущественно направлены на ретуширование неприглядных картин и тяжелых последствий своего колониального прошлого, основой которого являлась теория расового превосходства.
Факты, приведённые в докладе, подготовленном МИД России, подтверждают отстаиваемый нашей страной тезис о том, что подобные вопиющие проявления расовой дискриминации и героизации нацизма подрывают незыблемые решения Нюрнбергского трибунала. Тем самым создают прямую угрозу основополагающим ценностям подлинной демократии и прав человека, международной безопасности в целом.
Россия, как и 85 лет назад, не намерена мириться с распространением «коричневой чумы». Вместе со своими единомышленниками приложит все усилия, чтобы подвиг миллионов тех, кто дал миру шанс на свободу и процветание, не был предан забвению.
