🏅 On May 7, Russian Permanent Mission to the UN Office in Geneva joined the international "Garden of Memory” campaign. Its goal is to plant 27 million trees around the world – one for each of the 27 million Soviet soldiers and civilians who perished during the Great Patriotic War.
🌲 In honor of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, a Caucasian fir tree (Abies Nordmanniana) was planted on the grounds of our diplomatic mission – a symbol of remembrance and resilience of all the peoples of the USSR who defeated the great evil.
💬 As Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Office in Geneva, Ambassador Gennady Gatilov, noted in his opening speech:

💬 As Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Office in Geneva, Ambassador Gennady Gatilov, noted in his opening speech:
🕯️ “It is our sacred duty to honor the memory of the fallen – soldiers, home front workers, all those who, through tremendous effort, brought the Victory closer. It is deeply symbolic that here, far from our Homeland, in Switzerland, we continue the tradition of planting a tree of memory – as a message to future generations and in gratitude to those who defended the freedom of Europe and the independence of our country.
🧧 Today, it is extremely important to preserve the historical truth. In Geneva, Russia continues its principled struggle against attempts to rewrite the history of World War II, and we will not allow the Victory of our heroic ancestors to be portrayed in a distorted light. We have like-minded partners – countries that share this understanding and stand for preserving the memory of the USSR’s role in defeating Nazi Germany.
🔴🔴 The planted Caucasian fir is a piece of our beloved Homeland. May it grow strong, reminding us of those terrible 1,418 days and nights of war, of the millions of lives laid down on the altar of Victory, of every family touched by that terrible tragedy, and of the heroic deeds that must never be forgotten.
🇷🇺 Let this tree stand as a living reminder: no one has the right to erase the memory of the Great Patriotic War”.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at a wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial plaques in the Foreign Ministry building (Moscow, May 6, 2025)
💬 These days, we are marking a great date, the 80th anniversary of the glorious Victory won by the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War.
Today, we, the Foreign Ministry staff, with the participation of our veterans and young employees, must make the oath to be eternally loyal to the gains, feats of valour, and heroism, which have guaranteed life to our state, to our common Motherland, the Soviet Union, and the future of rising generations.
In those years, many employees of the People’s Commissariat of Foreign Affairs and their colleagues from the People’s Commissariat of Foreign Trade left for the front and defended our capital and our Motherland along with Red Army troops and civilian volunteers. They made their contribution to the Great Victory. At the same time, the diplomats, who were filling in for them at the People’s Commissariat of Foreign Affairs, as well as their secret service and intelligence colleagues, ensured diplomatic and foreign policy support for the Soviet people’s heroic struggle to save Europe from Nazism. <...>
Throughout the war, the diplomats were doing what was necessary to preclude treason. Today, these documents have been declassified and published. They found out in due time that the British were in the lead of preparations for Operation Unthinkable. It was unthinkable indeed, implying as it did an attack on the Soviet Union with the aim (how familiar it sounds today) of inflicting a “strategic defeat” on it. That experience is invaluable for us now. <...>
Today, they have again rallied against us under the banners of Nazism (in the literal sense of the word) by supporting the openly racist, anti-Russian Zelensky regime that stages torch processions and throws troops with chevrons of Nazi divisions on their sleeves into the war’s meat-grinder. Like before Operation Unthinkable, they are threatening to inflict a “strategic defeat” on us on the battlefield.
🏅 It is important not only to cherish the memory of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War and #WWII, who have ensured our future and current development (development, I am sure, for long decades and centuries to come), but also to remember the diplomatic experience and lessons of those events. <...>
These days, 80 Eternal Flames are being lighted in our country for the first time. A tradition has been born to take a particle of the Eternal Flame in the Alexander Gardens in Moscow and bring it to someone’s small motherland. Not so long ago, residents of Lugansk did this, followed by a number of other cities. Symbolically, this happens soon after the Happy Easter, when particles of the Holy Fire from Jerusalem travel all over the world, with people celebrating Easter Sunday. For us, this Victory also means a resurrection of the whole of our people, of our history, traditions and pride. We are in duty bound to convey these feelings to our children and grandchildren as our mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers have conveyed them to us.
I want to congratulate the Foreign Ministry staff, the staff or our missions in the regions of the Russian Federation, at embassies and consulates on the upcoming holiday of Great Victory. My special greetings go to our veterans, who are, as usual, on station. They symbolise the generation bridge that has made it possible for us to survive and emerge strengthened from most different situations, including those linked to wars and diplomatic battles.
☝️ Everything is still ahead. No one has promised that all problems can be solved at one go. Life is requiring constant efforts.
I hope that our team that has repeatedly proven its mettle in most difficult situations will continue to implement with honour the foreign policy charted by President of Russia Vladimir Putin.
It is aimed at ensuring in an unconditional manner the Russian Federation’s legitimate, vital interests on the international scene.

🕊 #MartyrsForTruth is a special project dedicated to commemorating Russian journalists who lost their lives at the hands of Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
Since 2014, the Kiev regime has been responsible for the deaths of more than 60 individuals working in Russian media — correspondents, cameramen, sound engineers, bloggers, and volunteers. Many of them were killed not just in combat zones but also far from the front lines — in cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg — through planned and targeted terrorist attacks.
#KievRegimeCrimes
The Kiev regime has tortured and murdered those who dared to speak out against the neo-Nazi junta and expose its crimes. Among the victims were Ukrainian journalist Oles Buzina and Gonzalo Lira Lopez, a US citizen.
❗️Today, on #WorldPressFreedomDay, we pay tribute to those who stood up for the truth and remained committed to their professional duty — right to the end.
▪️ Darya Dugina (1992–2022) was a political analyst, philosopher, and frontline reporter. The daughter of philosopher and writer Alexander Dugin, Darya was killed in a terrorist attack on August 20, 2022. According to investigators, an agent of the Ukrainian special services planted an explosive device under her vehicle and detonated it remotely after several months of surveillance.
▪️ Anna Prokofyeva (1989–2025) was a frontline reporter with Channel One Russia in the Belgorod Region. On March 26, 2025, the vehicle carrying her crew hit a landmine near the Ukrainian border. Anna was killed instantly; the cameraman sustained serious injuries.
▪️ Andrey Stenin (1980–2014), a photo journalist with the Rossiya Segodnya Media Group, died on August 6, 2014, on his way from Dmitrovka to Snezhny in the Donetsk People’s Republic, together with Andrey Vyachalo and Sergey Korenchenkov. These journalists were reporting on the latest developments in and around Snezny. Their burnt-out vehicle was discovered only on August 22,with the remains of Andrey and his colleagues in it. Investigators later confirmed it had come under Ukrainian military fire.
▪️ Maxim Fomin, known as Vladlen Tatarsky, was a journalist, blogger, and militia member. He died in a terrorist attack on April 2, 2023, in St. Petersburg. According to investigators, this attack had been in the making since 2022 and was masterminded from Ukraine. Daria Trepova carried it out by bringing an explosive device hidden inside a gypsum sculpture to a meet-the-author event with Tatarsky. Tatarsky was killed instantly, and 30 others were injured. Trepova has since been sentenced to 27 years in prison.
▪️ And the list continues…
The exhibition is created under the joint efforts of the Donetsk News Agency, Zaporozhye News Agency, Kherson News Agency, and the Lugansk Information Centre, in collaboration with Alexander Malkevich, a member of Russia’s Human Rights Council, with the support of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The initiative has also launched several international exhibitions, hosted by Russian diplomatic missions abroad.

💬 Russian Foreign Ministry's Ambassador-at-Large on the crimes committed by the Kiev regime, Rodion Miroshnik, regarding the Ukrainian terrorist attack on Aleshki (Russia’s Kherson Region):
🕯️ On May 1, seven people were killed and more than 20 injured. Kiev has committed a deliberate and premeditated act of monstrous evil against civilians.
❗ The strike was precise, calculated, and by no means accidental! The attack was carried out practically while looking the victims in the eyes through drone cameras, at a time when the market was most crowded on a holiday weekend. There could be no coincidence – they were deliberately targeting peaceful Russian citizens.
‼️ Russia will persistently seek a response from the international community to the shelling of the market in Aleshki by Ukrainian militants. All evidentiary documents will be collected in the near future and delivered to our delegations representing Russia’s interests at the largest international platforms – at the UN Security Council, the OSCE, and the UN Human Rights Council.

⚡️ Statement by the Delegations of the States Parties to the Treaty on the Establishment of the Union State of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation at the Third Session of the Preparatory Committee for the 2026 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (New York, 28 April 2025)
📃 We reaffirm our commitment to preserving and strengthening the nuclear non-proliferation regime and to its fundamental international instrument, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (#NPT).
It has been 55 years since the Treaty entered into force. During that period, the NPT has become an almost universal treaty and a cornerstone of the international peace and security, having demonstrated its relevance for the entire international community. We are convinced that preserving the NPT, ensuring its integrity while recognizing equal importance of all its provisions and all its three pillars — disarmament, nuclear non-proliferation and peaceful use of nuclear energy — is not merely a priority task for the NPT States Parties, but their core duty.
☝️ We have to state that at the moment, the processes intended to result in a nuclear-weapon-free world together with general and complete disarmament, have currently lost most of their momentum. Current international security and strategic stability situation objectively prevents any progress on this track. <...>
The factors with most destabilizing effect include:
🔻 NATO countries' hostile actions posing risk of a direct military confrontation between the nuclear powers;
🔻 preservation and further development of the arrangements and capabilities for the so-called 'nuclear sharing' by the North Atlantic Alliance;
🔻 increasing scale of the US global missile defence accompanied by the build-up of counterforce capabilities for mounting disarming first strike;
🔻 forward deployment of the US ground-based intermediate and shorter-range missiles;
🔻 publicly announced US plans to place weapons in outer space.
After the collapse of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty, the same negative trend has been observed in the missile sphere, where our countries have had to announce measures to strengthen the defence of the Union State in response to the destabilizing deployment of missile systems previously prohibited by that Treaty in the territory of the European NATO countries.
To further progress in disarmament, it would be necessary to achieve significant advances in overcoming outstanding issues and create a favourable politico-military environment. <...>
The NPT nuclear-weapon States' compliance with their non-proliferation obligations is pivotal for ensuring international peace and security. <...>
It is our firm belief that the review process should pay more attention to the matters of the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Our States are a vivid example of how the creation of nuclear power generating capacities based on advanced technologies contributes to social and economic progress. <...>
🤝 We are committed to constructive engagement with all delegations during the third Session of the Preparatory Committee, in a spirit of mutual respect without politicization and ultimatums, and taking into account each other's interests and concerns. We call on other participants to follow the suit.

📺 Watch on YouTube
Key talking points
• We continue our contacts with the American Side on the situation in Ukraine. There are several signs that we are moving in the right direction, first of all, because President Trump is probably the only leader on Earth who recognized the need to address the root causes of this situation. When he said that it was a huge mistake to pull Ukraine into NATO, and this was a mistake by the Biden administration, and he wants to rectify this.
• We only target military goals or civilian sites used by the military. President Putin expressed this for so many times, and this is not different this time as well. We never consciously target civilian sites, unlike the Zelensky regime.
• The Trump administration is interested in searching for a balance of interest. They sincerely want to understand better the Russian position. And they're getting this understanding. And we understand better the American position through negotiations and meetings and discussions, which we have with them.
• We are really polite people. And unlike some others, we never discuss in public what is being discussed in negotiations. Otherwise, negotiations are not serious.
• Whenever we discuss Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, anything, American negotiators put on top human rights. They have claims in this regard to China, to us, to anybody. But whenever Europeans and other Western nations speak about Ukraine, nobody can even mumble the words "human rights".
• We have nothing against American companies, but those companies who decided to leave their business in Russia might find that their place has been already taken by Russian or other foreign investors. And in this case, we would not make any decisions which would discriminate those who came to invest in Russia instead of Americans. If American companies would like to come to a place which is not yet occupied, if they want to propose a project, a new project on top of the previous business ties, of course, we will look into this. And if we find balance of our interests, I think it would be only natural to get into business together.
• We have been promoting for many years in the United Nations a resolution prohibiting putting any nuclear weapons into outer space. The country which is categorically against it is the United States. At least during the Biden administration, this was the case, they were categorically against it. At the same time, the United States promotes an approach according to which they want to prohibit putting conventional weapons in outer space. And they cannot answer the question, "Does this mean that nuclear weapons, they would be planning to move to the orbit?"
• It was the United States which broke the process of strengthening strategic stability. And if the United States is willing to get back to this track, we will see what are the conditions under which this might be possible.
• We welcome the dialogue between the US and Iran. We would be certainly ready to help if both parties believe this is going to be useful. And they know that we are ready.

🇷🇺🇫🇷🇨🇭 8 мая, когда страны Европы отмечают День Победы над нацистской Германией, российские соотечественники из Швейцарии и Франции собрались в живописной французской деревушке Le Petit-Bornand-les-Glières, чтобы почтить память советских воинов, доблестно сражавшихся в рядах отряда Liberté-Chérie («Любимая свобода»), входившего в состав французского Сопротивления.
🪦 На кладбище местной церкви покоятся Павел Зиммерманн (псевдонимы Алекс/Владимир) и Василий Дорганов. Первый – сын царского офицера-эмигранта, второй – красноармеец из Киева, участник Сталинградской битвы. Судьба свела их за тысячи километров от Родины: оба смогли бежать из немецкого плена и присоединиться к партизанам Верхней Савойи.
🧧 О подвиге Павла Зиммерманна здесь помнят. В январе 1944 г. его отряд столкнулся с немецким конвоем. Получив ранение, Павел остался прикрывать отход товарищей и в одиночку сражался с превосходящими силами противника. Он героически удерживал оборону целый час, тем самым спас жизни своих соратников. Немцы предали его тело земле – редкий случай для тех лет, свидетельствующий о признании его мужества даже со стороны врага.
🧧 Не менее доблестным был и Василий Дорганов. В марте 1944 г. он участвовал в обороне плато Глиэр, где против нескольких сотен партизан были брошены тысячи солдат Вермахта и французских коллаборационистов. Группа Дорганова стала одной из немногих, кто смог выйти из окружения без потерь и сохранив оружие. 2 августа 1944 г., за две недели до полного освобождения региона Верхняя Савойя, Василий трагически погиб от случайного выстрела из винтовки при досмотре грузовика на партизанском блокпосту.
🕯️ Много лет назад французские однополчане Павла и Василия установили на их могиле памятную доску с надписью: «Советские солдаты, сбежавшие из Германии и вступившие в Сопротивление. Героически погибли в бою за свободу и за Францию».

💐 «Самое малое, что мы можем сделать – не дать стереться памяти о боевом пути Павла и Василия, о подвиге всех советских солдат, воевавших в рядах французских партизан и приближавших общую Победу. Особенно горько было видеть сегодня, что к могилам французских однополчан Зиммерманна и Дорганова, покоящихся рядом с нашими соотечественниками, на 80-летний юбилей Победы пока так никто и не пришёл. Возможно, именно так история и память постепенно ‘выветриваются’ из людских сердец. А мы не имеем морального права этого допустить!»

❗ Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Office in Geneva, Ambassador Gennady Gatilov, in his interview with “Komsomolskaya Pravda”:
📍 May 2, 2025
🇺🇳 Geneva has historically been regarded as a global center of diplomacy and international relations. Today, it hosts around 40 international organizations, 180 permanent missions, and 400+ non-governmental organizations. Geneva is, in many ways, a hub of humanitarian, or as one might say, practical diplomacy. It would be a mistake to think that the work of the UN Office in Geneva is less significant than that of the Organization’s headquarters in New York. It is simply less dependent on immediate political impact and, as a result, less "entertaining".
🕊️ The UN, despite all its flaws, has been preventing a new global conflict for eight decades and remains the central mechanism for maintaining international peace and security. As the second UN Secretary-General, Dag Hammarskjöld, once said: "The UN was not created to take humanity to paradise, but to save it from hell". That is why strict adherence to the provisions of the UN Charter in their entirety remains an unconditional imperative.
📉 The UN Human Rights Council is currently going through challenging times. In today’s world, human rights issues – again, thanks to the efforts of the "collective West" – have been turned into a tool of aggressive foreign policy. International human rights structures are increasingly becoming venues for political score-settling and for addressing matters far beyond their mandate. What must be prioritized are efforts to build a just multipolar world that respects the national, religious, and cultural peculiarities of all states.
🕵️♂️ Aggravated "spy mania" is nothing but a reflection of the crisis of trust between states. Switzerland, long associated with neutrality and balanced diplomacy, has in recent years succumbed to these sentiments. In the local press, only Russian diplomats are being labelled as “spies”. We see this as a politically motivated fabrication. By supporting anti-Russian rhetoric, Switzerland is signaling loyalty to its Western allies involved in sanctions and information pressure on Russia.
🏅 To mark the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, we have already begun holding a series of commemorative events. In the coming days, we will host: the “Garden of Memory” on the grounds of our Mission, an official reception, and the traditional “Mayovka” with colleagues from CIS diplomatic missions and a large number of compatriots. We are also awaiting a response from the Swiss authorities regarding permission to hold an "Immortal Regiment" on the Place des Nations in Geneva.
🧧 We were heartened to receive news from our compatriots that just a few days ago, they discovered a grave near the town of Annecy (🇫🇷) of Soviet soldiers who fought in the ranks of the French Resistance in 1943–1944. Although our Permanent Mission is not accredited in France, we have already begun efforts to preserve the memory of this burial site and the warriors who rest there.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry’s statement regarding Kiev regime’s terrorist attack on Aleshki, Kherson Region, Russian Federation
On the morning of May 1, the Armed Forces of Ukraine once again targeted a civilian site on Russian territory, launching FPV drones at a crowded market in the town of Aleshki, Kherson Region.
According to preliminary reports, seven civilians were killed and more than twenty sustained injuries. Following the initial strikes, which had already caused significant casualties, a second wave of drone attacks was launched, deliberately targeting survivors and emergency responders who had arrived at the scene.
This heinous attack represents yet another grave war crime committed by the Ukrainian Nazis against the civilian population of Russia.
It is evident that the strike was deliberately timed to coincide with a public holiday, when many residents were gathered at the market, in a clear attempt to inflict maximum civilian casualties. This atrocity once again reveals the true nature of the Kiev regime and its unwavering commitment to escalating the armed conflict while actively undermining all prospects for a peaceful resolution. The current Ukrainian neo-Banderite leadership continues to demonstrate a complete unwillingness to engage in dialogue.
☝️ Today’s criminal act by Kiev thugs also lies on the conscience of their Western sponsors, who continue to provide them with weapons and financial support. It is increasingly clear that behind the unsubstantiated and unrealistic claims by the Kiev regime and its Western backers to restore Ukraine within its 1991 borders lies a deeply hostile agenda aimed at erasing all that is Russian. Russia will, without question, take all necessary measures to ensure that such a scenario is never allowed to materialise.
All those responsible for and complicit in this barbaric act committed by Kiev will be identified and will face inevitable justice in accordance with the law.
We call on the sensible members of the international community and relevant multilateral organisations to strongly condemn this heinous act of terrorism.
◾️ We extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims, and we wish a swift and full recovery to all those who were injured.

🇺🇳 29 апреля во Дворце Наций в Женеве состоялось торжественное открытие выставки «Искусство сохраняет историю», приуроченной к 80-летию Победы в Великой Отечественной войне. Экспозиция состоит из 45 (в честь Победного 1945 года) уникальных картин из коллекции международного издания «Русская галерея – XXI век».
🏅 Многие из представленных полотен были написаны правнуками и правнучками фронтовиков. Молодые художники, выросшие на семейных рассказах и чёрно-белых фотографиях ветеранов, через искусство выразили личную связь с подвигом предков и благодарность за подаренную ими возможность жить на родной земле.
🎙️ В своём приветственном слове Генеральный директор Отделения ООН в Женеве Т.Д.Валовая отметила, что в марте с.г. Генеральная Ассамблея ООН приняла специальную резолюцию, в которой подчёркивается особая важность сохранения памяти о Второй мировой войне и всех её жертвах – 70 миллионов человек, из которых 27 миллионов пришлись на государства бывшего СССР. Постпред России при Отделении ООН в Женеве Г.М.Гатилов подчеркнул необходимость защищать и бережно относиться к наследию Победы – величайшего достижения народов Советского Союза, наших героических предков.
🖼️ Генеральный директор издательского дома «ПАНОРАМА» Г.К.Москаленко вручил Г.М.Гатилову медаль «За развитие традиций» от имени московского отделения Союза художников России, а также передал в дар женевскому Отделению ООН картину, написанную талантливой художницей, лауреатом международных премий Ю.Ефремовой, в качестве «символа мира и победы над злом».
🤝 От души благодарим Г.К.Москаленко и главного редактора международного издания «Русская галерея – XXI век» П.Н.Соколова за возможность провести это яркое мероприятие накануне юбилея Победы и познакомить международную аудиторию с работами российских художников.
❗️Кстати❗️Все желающие лично ознакомиться с выставкой могут сделать это до 3 мая с.г. во Дворце Наций. Подробности и регистрация — по этой [ССЫЛКЕ].

❗ По завершении концерта ансамбля ALTRO CORO во Дворце Наций Постпред России при Отделении ООН в Женеве Г.М. Гатилов ответил на вопросы российских журналистов:
Ключевые моменты
🏅 Концерт прошёл в рамках мероприятий, приуроченных к 80-летию Победы в Великой Отечественной войне, и стал символичным напоминанием о подвиге народов Советского Союза. Очень важно, что он прошёл в зале, где заседает Совет ООН по правам человека – международной площадке, где нередко звучат искажённые оценки роли СССР во Второй мировой войне со стороны отдельных стран «коллективного Запада».
👏 Мероприятие вызвало большой интерес – зал был полон зрителей. Присутствовали представители стран СНГ и других дружественных государств, сотрудники международных организаций, дипломаты и представители женевской общественности. Отрадно, что в преддверии юбилея Победы подобные мероприятия находят живой отклик у международного сообщества.
🇺🇳 80-летие Победы и 80-летний юбилей основания ООН неразрывно связаны. Если бы не героизм советского народа, не было бы ни самой Организации, ни, разумеется, её женевского Отделения. Сегодняшнее мероприятие лишний раз доказывает, что память о Великой Победе жива за пределами России, а уважение к подвигу советского народа объединяет людей разных стран.
🇷🇺 Заявка от наших соотечественников на проведение «Бессмертного полка» на площади Наций в Женеве находится на согласовании у местных властей. Надеюсь, что Швейцария позитивно отреагирует на эту инициативу и предоставит возможность многим людям отдать дань уважения и почтить память своих родственников, сражавшихся против нацизма во Второй мировой войне.

🏅 7 мая Постпредство России в Женеве присоединилось к международной акции «Сад памяти». Её цель – высадить по всему миру 27 миллионов деревьев в память о каждом из 27 миллионов погибших бойцов и мирных граждан Советского Союза в годы Великой Отечественной войны.
🌲 В честь приближающегося 80-летия Великой Победы на территории нашей дипмиссии была посажена пихта кавказская (Abies Nordmanniana) – символ памяти и стойкости всех народов СССР, победивших великое зло.

💬 Как отметил в своём выступлении Постпред России при Отделении ООН в Женеве Г.М.Гатилов:
🕯️«Наш священный долг – почтить память павших: солдат, тружеников тыла, всех, кто ценой невероятных усилий приблизил Победу. Очень символично, что именно здесь, вдали от Родины, на швейцарской земле, мы продолжаем традицию сажать дерево памяти – в назидание будущим поколениям и в знак признательности тем, кто отстоял свободу Европы и независимость нашей страны.
🏅 Сегодня как никогда важно сохранять историческую правду. В Женеве Россия ведёт принципиальную борьбу против попыток искажения итогов Второй мировой войны, и мы не позволим представить Победу наших героических предков в извращённом свете. У нас есть единомышленники – государства, которые разделяют это понимание и выступают за сохранение памяти о роли СССР в разгроме нацистской Германии. Посаженная кавказская пихта – частица нашей любимой Родины.
🔴🔴Пусть она растёт и крепнет, напоминая о тех страшных 1418 днях и ночах войны, о миллионах жизней, положенных на алтарь Победы, о каждой семье, которую коснулась та страшная трагедия, и о подвиге, который не должен быть забыт.
🇷🇺 Пусть это дерево служит живым напоминанием: никто не вправе стереть память о Великой Отечественной войне».

❗ Из интервью Постпреда России при Отделении ООН в Женеве Г.М.Гатилова для «Комсомольской Правды»:
📍 2 мая 2025 г.
🇺🇳 Женева исторически считается мировым центром дипломатии и международных отношений. Сегодня здесь размещаются около 40 международных организаций, 180 постоянных представительств и более 400 неправительственных организаций. Женева является во многом центром гуманитарной, если можно так выразиться, прикладной дипломатии. Было бы ошибкой думать, что работа женевского Отделения ООН менее значима, чем штаб-квартиры Всемирной организации в Нью-Йорке. Просто она менее зависима от немедленного политического эффекта и, как следствие, менее «зрелищна».
🕊️ ООН, несмотря на все имеющиеся у неё изъяны, уже восемь десятилетий уберегает мир от нового глобального конфликта и остаётся центральным механизмом поддержания международного мира и безопасности. Вспомним образное выражение второго Генерального секретаря ООН Дага Хаммаршёльда: «ООН была создана не для того, чтобы привести человечество в рай, а чтобы спасти его от ада». Поэтому безусловным императивом является неукоснительное соблюдение положений Устава ООН во всей их полноте.
📉 Совет ООН по правам человека сегодня переживает не лучшие времена. В современном мире вопросы прав человека, опять же стараниями «коллективного Запада», превратились в инструмент агрессивной внешней политики. Международные правозащитные структуры становятся местами для сведения политических счётов и решения вопросов, выходящих далеко за рамки их полномочий. Во главу угла должны быть поставлены усилия по выстраиванию справедливого многополярного мира с учётом национальных, религиозных и культурных особенностей всех государств.
🕵️♂️ Обострённая «шпиономания» – это не что иное, как отражение кризиса доверия между государствами. Швейцария, десятилетиями ассоциировавшаяся с нейтралитетом, в последние годы поддаётся этим настроениям. В местной прессе только к российским дипломатам предъявляются «шпионские претензии». Усматриваем в этом политический заказ. Поддержка антироссийской риторики позволяет Швейцарии демонстрировать лояльность западным союзникам, участвующим в санкционном и информационном давлении на Россию.
🏅 В честь 80-летия Великой Победы мы уже начали проводить серию торжественных мероприятий. В ближайшие дни нас ожидают: акция «Сад памяти» на территории Постпредства, официальный приём, а также традиционная маёвка с участием коллег-дипломатов стран СНГ и большого количества соотечественников. Прорабатывается возможность проведения акции «Бессмертный полк» на площади Наций в Женеве.
🧧 С воодушевлением восприняли известие от наших соотечественников о том, что несколько дней назад им удалось найти близ города Анси (🇫🇷) могилу советских воинов, сражавшихся в рядах французских партизан в 1943–1944 гг. Формально наше Постпредство во Франции не работает, но мы уже начали заниматься восстановлением памяти об этом захоронении и о покоящихся в нём бойцах.

🏅80 years ago, on May 1, 1945, the Victory Banner was raised over the Reichstag in Berlin – a symbol of the Soviet triumph over Nazi Germany. It was hoisted by scouts of the 756th Rifle Regiment, Sergeant Mikhail Yegorov and Junior Sergeant Meliton Kantaria.
⚔️ During the Berlin Operation, fierce fighting for control of the Reichstag took place from April 29 to May 2. The Germans had turned the building into a heavily fortified stronghold, defended by over a thousand troops equipped with artillery and tanks.
🌟 The first assault was attempted on April 29 but was met with fierce resistance and repelled. The following day, Soviet troops regrouped and successfully breached the Reichstag's defenses. Fighting raged through the corridors, stairwells, and rooms of the Reichstag, as the Red Army cleared it floor by floor.
🚩 By the morning of May 1, the Soviet flag had been raised atop the Reichstag dome, announcing the fall of Berlin to the world. The now-iconic photograph of the Victory Banner over the burning Reichstag was published on May 3, 1945.

❗️ Russia believes that the Ukrainian side must follow this example.
🛡 In case of violations of the ceasefire by the Ukrainian side, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will deliver an adequate and effective response.
🇷🇺 The Russian side once again declares its readiness for peace negotiations without preconditions, aimed at addressing the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis, and for constructive engagement with international partners.

🏅 On April 25, in Geneva, the halls of the Palais des Nations were filled with heartfelt songs of the war years – melodies that reach into the deepest corners of the soul of everyone who cherishes the memory of the Great Patriotic War.
🎶 The Gnessin Contemporary Choral Music Ensemble ALTRO CORO, under the direction of Maestro Alexander Ryzhinsky, performed the "Songs of the Great Victory" in one of the most renowned halls of the UN Office in Geneva — the Human Rights and Alliance of Civilizations Chamber. This was especially symbolic, as the very existence of the United Nations and its human rights bodies is largely owed to the heroic deed of the Soviet people, who defeated Nazi Germany and its allies.
🎼 "Katyusha," "Smuglyanka," "Oh, the Roads", "We Need One Victory" — these and many other immortal songs, performed by talented young artists, were heard by the leadership and staff of the UN Office and other international organizations based in Geneva, Permanent Representatives and diplomats from CIS countries and friendly states, as well as our compatriots and Swiss friends. Nearly all seats in one of the largest halls of the Palais des Nations were filled. After an incredibly heartfelt and masterful performance, the audience gave a standing ovation and did not want to let the artists leave the stage.
🤝 We sincerely thank the singers and leadership of the ALTRO CORO ensemble for a fantastic and unforgettable performance. Special thanks also go to the Director-General of the UN Office in Geneva, Tatiana Valovaya, and the head of the Russian House in Rome, Daria Pushkova, for their invaluable assistance in organizing this important event!

💬 High Commissioner for Human Rights of the Russian Federation Tatiana Moskalkova:
🇺🇦 On May 2, the UN Committee against Torture has published a report on Ukraine, which includes accounts of ill-treatment, torture, and sexual violence against Russian POWs, as well as against civilians suspected of "collaboration or threats to national security".
📄 The report states that the Committee is “concerned over reports of torture, including sexual violence, threats, humiliation, as well as unlawful killings and deaths in custody of POWs. These acts were allegedly committed by Ukrainian armed forces and security services, mainly in unofficial or transit detention facilities prior to their internment”.
🔎 Despite the Ukrainian side’s denial of the existence of such “unofficial” facilities, the Committee expressed concern over the lack of transparency, clear procedural safeguards for detainees, and proper documentation of bodily injuries.
❗ The information and conclusions presented in the report are neither new nor unexpected. We have repeatedly drawn the attention of the international community and international bodies, including the UN Committee against Torture, to the egregious violations of human rights and humanitarian law by the Ukrainian side, in breach of Ukraine's international legal obligations.
⚖️ The information presented by the UN Committee against Torture is in line with the decision of the European Court of Human Rights on March 13, 2025, which found Ukraine responsible for the events in Odessa on May 2, 2014.

#NoStatuteOfLimitations
🕯 May 2 marks 11 years since the tragedy in Odessa.
On that day, the Euromaidan supporters, ultra radicals and outright Neo-Nazis committed atrocities against those who openly opposed the anti-constitutional government coup in Kiev perpetrated by nationalists, at the behest and with the support from their the western sponsors.
This atrocity must not be forgotten or swept under the rug: we shan't let the world forget what happened on 2 May 2014 in Odessa.
👉 A detailed reconstruction & retrospective of the events of that day and the ensuing tragedy.
According to official statistics alone, at least 48 people died during these tragic events, including 42 who were killed or burned alive at the Trade Unions House, as well as another six who perished during the clashes on the streets of Odessa.
In fact, the Kiev regime and its pet cronies has repeated — to the letter — what the Bandera torturers did 80 years ago in Khatyn.
❗️ Although many perpetrators have been identified, they have not received the punishment they deserve.
The West remains silent regarding these bloody crimes of the Ukrainian neo-Nazis, the Kiev regime, which to this day continues to use terrorist methods.
Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the 10th anniversary of the tragedy in Odessa of May 2, 2024.

🇺🇳 On April 29, the Palace of Nations in Geneva hosted the grand opening of the exhibition “Art Preserves History”, dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The exhibition features 45 unique paintings (a tribute to the victorious year of 1945) from the collection of the international magazine “Russian Gallery – XXI Century”.

#KievRegimeCrimes
📑 The quarterly report on the crimes committed by the Kiev regime in January — March 2025 has been compiled by Foreign Ministry's Ambassador-at-Large on the crimes committed by the Kiev regime, Rodion Miroshnik, and has been presented on April 28, 2025, during the Ambassador's briefing.
During the first three months of 2025, the armed formations of the Kiev regime systematically shelled objects of civilian infrastructure on the territory of the Russian Federation, deliberately targeting civilians.
During this period, at least 22,221 munitions were fired at civilian targets. In total, since February 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have fired at least 251,865 munitions of various calibres and modifications at Russian civilian sites.
❗️ A sharp increase in the number of Ukrainian shelling attacks was recorded in the last weeks of March. This is how Kiev reacted to the start of the negotiating process between Moscow and Washington. The number of attacks during this period reached 300 per 24 hours, or more than 2,000 per week, which is approximately 25% higher than the weekly figures for January and February.
The increase in the number of civilian victims documented in the second half of March is directly linked to Kiev’s attempts to oppose the search for a peaceful settlement and to the thwarting of the agreement on a 30-day moratorium on strikes on energy facilities. The Ukrainian side deliberately carried out a number of targeted attacks on crowded places resulting in numerous civilian victims.
▪️ Civilian sites in the Belgorod Region, the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Kherson, Kursk and Zaporozhye regions, as well as the Lugansk People’s Republic, were most frequently shelled during the above-mentioned period.
• From January 1, 2025 to March 31, 2025, there were at least 1,489 verified civilian victims resulting from the Ukrainian forces’ attacks:
🔻 1,197 people, including 63 minors, wounded;
🔻 292 civilians, including five children, killed.
• At least 21,002 civilian victims caused by the Ukrainian formations’ attacks since the beginning of the conflict:
🔻 14,287 people, including 880 minors, wounded;
🔻 6,715 people, including 218 children, killed.
During this period, victims of numerous murders committed by Ukrainian militants in the Kursk Region’s villages of Russkoe Porechnoye, Makhnovka, and Cherkasskoe Porechnoye were found. The bodies of civilians were discovered in the town of Chasov Yar, DPR, who had been killed by the Ukrainian military while attempting to evacuate from the war zone. Moreover, fresh burials of civilians with signs of violent death have been found in the village of Dvurechnaya, Kharkov Region, which was liberated from Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
During the first three months of 2025, the Ukrainian Armed Forces intensively used various types of UAVs to attack objects of civilian infrastructure, and to kill and maim civilians. <...> 409 civilians were hurt in Ukrainian drone attacks. Twenty-three people, including three children, were killed, and 386 people, including 24 minors, were wounded. <...> The Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out barrages of targeted strikes on medical personnel, rescue and emergency workers.
Since the beginning of the year, the AFU militants have intensified a targeted manhunt for media teams covering the special military operation and the Kiev regime’s criminal acts against civilians on the frontline territories. A premeditated attack on a group of journalists in the Kremennaya District, LPR, is a compelling example. A US-made HIMARS MLRS was used to kill three Russian journalists on the spot. All in all, over the past three months, 13 Russian media workers fell victim to criminal actions of the Ukrainian armed forces. Six of them died.

🏅 25 апреля в Женеве в стенах Дворца Наций прозвучали проникновенные песни, которые отзываются в самых тонких струнах души каждого, кто чтит память о Великой Отечественной войне.
🎶 Гнесинский ансамбль современной хоровой музыки ALTRO CORO под руководством маэстро Александра Рыжинского выступил с программой «Песни Великой Победы» в одном из самых известных залов Отделения ООН в Женеве — Зале Совета ООН по правам человека и Альянса цивилизаций. Это особенно символично, ведь сама Организация Объединённых Наций и её правозащитные структуры во многом обязаны своим существованием подвигу советского народа, разгромившего нацистскую Германию и её союзников.
🎼 «Катюша», «Смуглянка», «Эх, дороги», «Нам нужна одна победа» — эти и многие другие замечательные песни в исполнении талантливых молодых артистов услышали руководство и сотрудники Отделения ООН и других расположеных в Женеве международных организаций, Постоянные представители и дипломаты стран СНГ и дружественных государств, а также наши соотечественники и швейцарские друзья. Практически все места в одном из самых больших залов Дворца Наций были заняты. После невероятно душевного и виртуозного исполнения зрители аплодировали стоя и долго не хотели отпускать артистов со сцены.
🤝 От всей души благодарим певцов и руководство ансамбля ALTRO CORO за яркое незабываемое выступление. Отдельная благодарность — Генеральному директору Отделения ООН в Женеве Т.Д.Валовой и руководителю Русского дома в Риме Д.А.Пушковой за неоценимую помощь в организации этого важного мероприятия!
