📄 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s greetings to the organisers and participants in the International Anti-Fascist Forum 2024 (September 11, 2024)
✍️ I warmly welcome the organisers and participants in the 10th International Anti-Fascist Forum, which is timed to coincide with the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Fascism.
This year, we look back on a landmark period in our country’s glorious military history – 80 years ago, Soviet forces began to liberate Europe from Nazism, thereby bringing the Great Victory closer.
Today, Russia again has to rise in arms against the revival of that misanthropic ideology – to carry out the special military operation to protect its people from Ukrainian neo-Nazis. Our purpose is to work together to counter the propaganda of Russophobia, the rise of radical nationalist forces, the desecration and destruction of monuments to Red Army soldiers, and attempts to distort the role played by the Soviet liberator soldiers.
I am confident that this forum, themed Remembering the Past – Thinking about the Future, will make a significant contribution to preserving the historical truth, fighting xenophobia and ethnic and religious intolerance.
🤝 I wish you rewarding work and all the very best.

🔹 Moscou incite les structures internationales à ne pas fermer les yeux sur les actes terroristes de Kiev sur le territoire russe et à les évaluer correctement;
🔹 Les nouvelles livraisons d'armes occidentales à Kiev risquent d'entraîner une escalade incontrôlée, mais l'Occident ne s'en rend pas encore compte;
🔹 Ces livraisons confirment le cap de l'Occident sur la poursuite du conflit et l'augmentation de son intensité;
🔹 La Russie enregistre de nouvelles violations de ses frontières par des journalistes occidentaux dans la région de Koursk, et les forces de l'ordre enquêtent sur la façon dont ils apparaissent sur le territoire du pays.

🇷🇺 Statement by Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the International Organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov on the agenda item 9 of the session of the IAEA Board of Governors «Nuclear Safety, Security and Safeguards in Ukraine»
💬 For more than two years now, we have been constantly talking about the provocations and crimes of the Kiev regime aimed at creating the most serious threats to nuclear safety. We insist that these provocations and crimes should not go unnoticed and unpunished. We have repeatedly emphasized that shielding Ukraine, hushing up its actions and unwillingness to call a spade a spade, in fact, is an encouragement to continue shelling nuclear facilities. Kiev is thus effectively given carte blanche to take any, even the most reckless steps that could lead to a nuclear catastrophe
💬 Our calls have remained unanswered all this time. And now everyone can see what this has led to. On August 6 Ukrainian formations invaded the territory of the Kursk Region with the main objective of breaking through to the Kurskaya NPP and using it for nuclear blackmail. At the same time, in order to create panic, the NPP's employees and residents of its satellite city of Kurchatov began to receive numerous calls from Ukrainian special services with messages about the imminent capture of the NPP and an offer to evacuate. Only thanks to the actions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was the advance of Ukrainian attack aircraft and foreign mercenaries in the Kursk Region stopped. At the same time, Kiev does not abandon its plans regarding the Kurskaya NPP. Over the past month, Ukrainian formations have carried out several provocations against this facility. On August 8 they used missiles that were shot down by Russian troops, and the debris fell near the radioactive waste processing complex. On August 9 the Ukrainian Armed Forces disabled a transformer substation in Kurchatov and left the city without electricity. On August 14 a launched Ukrainian drone exploded near an open switchgear of the Kurskaya NPP. On August 16 and 22 more Ukrainian drones were suppressed
💬 At the moment, the nuclear safety situation at the plant remains stable. Unit 3 is in operation, Unit 4 has been shut down for scheduled maintenance. Measures to ensure protection of the Kurskaya NPP have been significantly strengthened. However, we remind you that the design of the RBMK reactors located there does not provide for a protective shell. Missile or drone strikes on the reactor halls of the plant could trigger a nuclear accident that would be felt across a significant part of Europe and could become a second Chernobyl in scale
💬 On August 27 the IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi visited the Kurskaya NPP. He was familiarized with the consequences of the attacks on the plant. We are grateful to the head of the Agency for this visit. We hope that the statements he made following this event will cool the hot heads of the Ukrainian authorities. At the same time, we cannot help but note that the reaction to Kiev's ongoing nuclear provocations must be tougher and more clear - from both the IAEA Secretariat leadership and the Board of Governors. After all, we are talking about the threat of a nuclear catastrophe

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Russia's Position at the Seventy-Ninth Session of the UN General Assembly
#NonProliferation
• We oppose attempts to politicize the review process of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which is a cornerstone of global security. We emphasize that nuclear disarmament – one of the NPT's pillars – should be viewed in the context of a comprehensive universal disarmament process, which should take into account the current geopolitical realities, the indivisible security principle and the importance of progressive steps towards strengthening strategic stability and reducing tensions on a global and regional scale.
#NuclearTestBan
• Despite having withdrawn its ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), Russia remains a State signatory to the Treaty, with all the rights and obligations arising therefrom. The United States remains the biggest obstacle to the CTBT's entry into force as it has sabotaged the process for many years. President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin has sent a clear message in his statements: Russia will not be the first to resume nuclear tests; we will only do this if the United States acts in this way.
