7 апреля Посол Посол Российской Федерации в Республике Руанда Александр Поляков принял участие в памятной церемонии в мемориальном центре «Гисози» в Кигали, посвящённой жертвам геноцида 1994 года против тутси.
Солидарны с народом Руанды в этот день памяти и скорби. Трагические события той поры не должны повториться нигде и никогда, а идеология и практика геноцида - возродиться в каком бы то ни было обличии!

On April 7, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Rwanda, Alexander Polyakov, participated in a commemorative ceremony at the Gisosi Memorial Center in Kigali, dedicated to the victims of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.
We express our solidarity with the people of Rwanda on this day of remembrance and mourning. The tragic events of that period must never be repeated anywhere, and the ideology and practice of genocide must never be revived in any form.
🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview to the US bloggers Mario Nawfal, Larry C. Johnson and Andrew Napolitano (Moscow, March 12, 2025)
Key talking points:
• I think what is going on in the United States is a return to normalcy. <...> The fact is that a normal administration without any, you know, unchristian ideas came to power and the reaction was such an explosion in the media, in the politics all over the world is very interesting and very telling.
• When we met in Riyadh with Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz and Steve Witkoff they suggested the meeting and they said, look, we want normal relations in the sense that the foundation of the American foreign policy under the Donald Trump administration is the national interest of the United States. But at the same time, we understand that other countries also have their national interest.
• It is very well understood that countries like the United States and Russia would never have their national interest the same. They would not coincide maybe even 50 or less percent. But when they do coincide this situation must be used to develop this simultaneous and similar interest. But when the interests do not coincide and contradict each other then the responsible countries must do everything not to allow this contradiction to degenerate into confrontation, especially military confrontation which would be disastrous for many other countries.
• The beginning of the special military operation was a decision because all other attempts, all other alternatives to bring things into some positive dimension failed for ten years after the illegal coup in Kiev, in violation of the deal signed the night before and guaranteed by the Germans, French and Poles.
• I don't think the Americans would drop from NATO. At least President Trump never hinted that this might be the case. But what he did bluntly say was that if you want us to protect you, to give you security guarantees, you pay what is necessary.
• But President Trump doesn't want to provide these security guarantees to Ukraine under Zelensky. He has his own view of the situation which he bluntly presents every now and then, that this war should never have started – that pulling Ukraine into NATO in violation of its Constitution, in violation of the Declaration of Independence of 1991, on the basis of which we recognized Ukraine as a sovereign state. For several reasons including that this Declaration was saying no NATO, no blocs, neutral status. Another thing which this Declaration also confirmed and solidified - all rights of Russian and all other national minorities are to be respected.
• Europe and the UK they certainly want this to continue. The way they received Zelensky in London after the scandal in Washington, it's an indication that they want to raise the stakes and they are preparing something to pressure the Donald Trump administration back into some aggressive action against Russia.
• It's not about the territories, it's about the people who were deprived of their history by law. Territories are important only because people live on these territories. The people who live on the territories are descendants of those who for hundreds of years were building Odessa & other cities on those very lands who were building ports, roads, who were founding those lands and who associated with the history of this land.
❗️ The Americans know that we would not betray our commitments, legal commitments, the political commitments which we develop with China.

🇷🇺 Greetings of President Vladimir Putin on Defender of the Fatherland Day
🇷🇺
This year, which marks the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, has been declared the Year of the Defender of the Fatherland in Russia. We pay tribute to the unwavering and undaunted generation of victors, to the memory of their heroism and sacrifice, and the epoch-making Victory that they gave to the world. We celebrate the heroes who honourably continue the military labours of their ancestors on the battlefield today.
We realise how hard it is for you right now, and we proudly support you. I want to thank all participants in the special military operation for their strong spirit and determination to bring us victory. I am grateful to all defenders of Russia for their honest and impeccable service to the Motherland and to our nation.
Today, we honor everyone whose hard work, courage, and dedication contribute to the prosperity of our nation. This holiday symbolizes not only military valor but also civic responsibility — the readiness of each of us to uphold the values of peace, family, and constructive labor.
May your life always be filled with mutual understanding, stability, and faith in a brighter future. We wish you robust health, inner strength, and success in all your endeavors — both in personal aspirations and in our shared mission to develop our homeland.
