В ЕЭК открылась фотовыставка, посвященная 80-летию Победы
Выставка разделена на две большие экспозиции и охватывает основные этапы Великой Отечественной войны – от вторжения нацистской Германии в СССР в 1941 году до победных боёв в Берлине в 1945 году.
Основная часть выставки включает в себя фронтовые фотографии, отобранные сотрудниками Комиссии в государственных архивах стран Евразийского экономического союза. Современные аудиовизуальные эффекты – проецирование на стены черно-белых кадров, художественный свет, музыкальное сопровождение – придают экспозиции неповторимую атмосферу. Внимание посетителей также привлекают подборки пожелтевших от времени газет и солдатских писем.
«Мы отдаем дань глубокого уважения мужеству и великому ратному подвигу наших отцов, дедов и прадедов во имя Победы над фашизмом, – подчеркнул, открывая выставку, Председатель Коллегии Евразийской экономической комиссии Бакытжан Сагинтаев. – Каждый экспонат нашей выставки имеет особую ценность, потому что за портретами и фамилиями героев – уникальные истории их подвигов».
В другой части выставки, которая называется «Наши герои», представлены около 600 фотографий родственников сотрудников ЕЭК, принявших участие в Великой Отечественной войне. Информация по каждому ветерану дополнительно изучена через открытые архивные источники: созданы и обновлены биографические справки, восстановлены сведения о наградах и воинских званиях.
С этой экспозицией можно также ознакомиться на сайте ЕЭК в разделе «Наши герои».

Vladimir Putin expressed condolences over the death of Pope Francis
Pope Francis was held in great respect internationally as a devoted servant of the Christian faith, a wise religious leader and statesperson, and a firm defender of the eminent values of humanism and justice. Throughout his pontificate, Pope Francis actively promoted the dialogue between the Catholic and the Russian Orthodox churches, as well as constructive interaction between Russia and the Holy See.
I had many opportunities to converse with this outstanding man, and I will remember him fondly forever.

🎥 Belarus: A Land Unbroken — an RT Doc Film.
Synopsis: During the Great Patriotic War Soviet Belarus, a part of the USSR, was under Nazi occupation from 1941 to 1944.
The fraternal Belarusian people, among the first to confront the Nazi invasion in June 1941, endured immense suffering and hardship. After seizing the territory of the Byelorussian SSR, the Hitlerites imposed a brutal and oppressive occupation regime.
🕯 The Nazis killed people of all nationalities through punitive operations, ghettos, and encircling concentration camps. During the Great Patriotic War, one in every three people in Belarus died.
But the citizens of the Soviet Union endured all the horrors of war and never lost faith in Victory. The resistance movement in Belarus was one of the largest. Even children and teenagers joined the partisans to fight for their homeland.
The occupation ended in 1944, when the Red Army, together with the partisans, launched Operation Bagration — the largest military operation in history. As a result of their combined efforts, Belarus was liberated.
📺 In this documentary, the filmmakers spoke to representatives from the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Belarus, leading experts, frontline veterans, home front workers, and descendants of the heroes who defended the Brest Fortress.
Historians featured in the film shed light on the Nazi war crimes committed on Belarusian soil and highlight the courage and sacrifice of the Soviet soldiers who liberated Belarus from occupation.

🎙 Address of Federation Council of Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to parliaments of foreign countries and peoples of the world on unacceptability of distorting the history of the Second World War and rehabilitating Nazism
💬 May 9, 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of historic victory of the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War. The war unleashed by Nazi Germany and its satellites claimed the lives of 27 million Soviet citizens. Millions of people became prisoners of Nazi death camps, lost their homes, and were deported for forced labour to Germany and other countries under its control.
The Great Victory was achieved through the unwavering determination and bravery of the Soviet people and their strong resolve to defeat Nazism which presented a threat to humanity. The Allies of the Soviet Union made an important contribution to defeating the Third Reich.
The International Military Tribunal (Nuremberg Tribunal) brought before court and handed down sentences to the main war criminals of the European Axis countries. It held the Nazi regime leaders accountable for crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, among others. The facts of banishment and extermination of the Soviet civilian population by Nazis and their accomplices, which was established in the verdict handed down by the Nuremberg Tribunal, must be regarded as genocide of the peoples of the Soviet Union.
Thanks to victory of the Soviet Union and its allies over Nazism, proper conditions for forming a modern system of international relations were created, and the United Nations Organisation (UN) was established.
The international law principles recognised by the Charter of the Nuremberg Tribunal and expressed in the verdict passed by the Nuremberg Tribunal were confirmed by UN General Assembly Resolution 95(I) of December 11, 1946.
The Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation supports the annual adoption by the UN General Assembly of the resolution titled «Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance», as well as Resolution 79/272 of March 4, 2025 titled «Eightieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War», co-sponsored by 54 countries.
The Russian Federation senators express their concern about the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation to include non-aligned European countries, the militarisation of the European Union, and the support it accords to the neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine. Europe was the starting point of both world wars. For this reason, it bears a unique responsibility to humanity in preventing another global conflict.
☝️ Denying the Soviet Union’s decisive role in Victory of the Anti-hitlerite Coalition over the Nazi Germany and its satellites, glorifying Nazi criminals and their accomplices, and demolishing and desecrating monuments to Soviet liberator soldiers are all immoral and blasphemous acts.
The Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation calls on the parliaments of foreign countries and the peoples of the world to counter any attempts to falsify history, to rehabilitate or glorify Nazism, fascism, or militarism, to condemn the encouragement of the neo-Nazi regime in Ukraine and the incitement of another world war, and to demand that those who dishonour the memory of the liberator soldiers and those who fought against Nazism be brought to justice.
❗️Only our joint efforts can protect the truth about the Second World War, counter the rise of neo-Nazism, and avert the recurrence of brutal crimes against humanity.

🎙️ Interview of the Ambassador of Russia in Norway Nikolay Korchunov to Professor at the University of South-Eastern Norway Glenn Diesen
Key points:
• The Northern Sea Route is one of the most promising, safe, short and economically advantageous sea corridors in the world. The demand for the NSR for global trade is growing. Cargo traffic is steadily increasing, which last year totalled 37.9 million tonnes. Transit along the NSR has increased by 44% - shippers have started to redirect some cargo to Asia via the NSR.
• Developing the Arctic's mineral resource potential is one of our key priorities and it requires an integrated approach. This includes both facilities at the fields and the entire network of logistics chains including offshore and onnshore transportation, and supply infrastructure.
• Russia is ready to work together not only with the Arctic states, but with all those who are interested in the sustainable and peaceful development of the region and focus on the long-term perspective.
• The main consequence of the selective approach of some states to the international law, including the issue of expanding the outer limits of the continental shelf, is the growing uncertainty and destabilizing of the region, which will affect the prospects for economic activity.
• The fact that seven out of eight Arctic states are members of NATO indicates that the «security formula» in high latitudes is becoming increasingly complicated. The Arctic countries are currently in a difficult situation, facing challenges in the areas of security, climate, frozen scientific cooperation, and the consequences of crises in other regions. The only thing that NATO's presence in the region contributes to is further escalation of tensions.
• Asia is the driver of global economic growth. China and India account for a significant share of global GDP. It is natural that these countries think globally and don’t exclude the Arctic from their area of interest.
• Norway is currently following the anti-Russian agenda of Western countries. Given the economic and geographical position of your country as well as taking into account long-term benefits, it is obvious that if Norway acted in its own interests, it would not miss the opportunity to implement joint projects related to the development of the Northern Sea Route. Instead, Norway has set on a course towards confrontation and breaking existing ties.
• The objective picture is that Russia and Norway are doomed to cooperate. Our countries are not just neighbors – as Arctic states, we bear special responsibility for the destiny of the region. Many existing problems in the Arctic can only be solved through joint efforts. Climate change, permafrost degradation, loss of biodiversity, natural or man-made disasters, well-being of Indigenous Peoples require searching for common solutions within the framework of existing intergovernmental formats and for the sake of developing international science.
Glenn Diesen is a professor at the University of South-Eastern Norway, contributor to the Valdai Discussion Club, and editor of the journal «Russia in Global Affairs».

#KievRegimeCrimes
We once again underscore the Kiev regime’s failure to adhere to the 30-day moratorium on strikes against the fuel and energy complex facilities.
AFU have conducted nearly daily UAV attacks targeting Russian fuel and energy infrastructure. Since the declared “energy truce,” over 80 such attacks have been recorded.
***
For several days now the collective West has been raging about the high-precision strike the Russian Armed Forces carried out with a high-explosive missile at the building where commanders of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Western instructors were gathering in Sumy on April 13. The Westerners began to push a hastily concocted propaganda fake about the Russian missile that allegedly killed women and children.
Does the UN Secretary-General António Guterres know about what is happening in Ukraine now with these resignations, with the obituaries for Ukrainian military personnel, with the use of civilian population as a human shield in a military gathering?
#NATO #Militarism #Russophobia
Paris and London still fail to achieve consensus on their delusional proposal to deploy a “multinational peacekeeping contingent” comprising NATO member-state units to Ukraine.
Media reports suggest that aside from France and Britain, only the rabidly Russophobic Baltic regimes (note: not their populations, often kept ignorant by those in power) are prepared to join this reckless venture, which risks direct military confrontation between the Alliance and Russia.
Most coalition members doubt the feasibility of such an intervention without US backing. Washington continues to avoid entanglement in these Allied escapades, likely recognising the real consequences they would entail.
#Estonia #Baltic #Piracy
Starting from April 14, 2025, legal amendments came into effect in Estonia, enabling its Navy to use force against foreign ships.
If Russian ships are affected by any of these actions, our country will respond to the risks and threats posed by Estonia, a NATO member state, accordingly.
Russia firmly condemns these pirate-like aspirations because the mandate of the Estonian Navy transcends and violates international law.
#UNESCO #Journalists #DoubleStandards
The subject of protecting journalists’ safety was once again resonantly raised during the 221st session of the UNESCO Executive Board, where participants highlighted the UNESCO leadership’s recent action – or rather inaction – in this field.
We have repeatedly indicated our resolve to compel UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay to fulfil her mandate in good faith before it ends.
The heated debates on this issue at the Executive Board meeting clearly demonstrated that the disagreements over the UNESCO Secretariat’s policy on the track of (not) protecting the safety of journalists are becoming fundamental.
This trend became especially pronounced after Audrey Azoulay’s notorious report she delivered last year, which failed to mention Russian frontline reporters and other media workers who died at the hands of Kiev regime militants in 2022 and 2023.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at a ceremony for opening the "Anniversary Year: From Mexico to Argentina" exhibition marking anniversaries of Russia’s diplomatic relations with several Latin American and Caribbean countries (Moscow, April 15, 2025)
💬 Sergey Lavrov: This year marks anniversaries of Russia’s diplomatic relations with a number of Latin American countries:
🇦🇷🇲🇽🇨🇴🇧🇴🇻🇪🇬🇹🇩🇴🇪🇨🇭🇳🇨🇺
Argentina (140 years), Mexico (135 years), Colombia (90 years), Bolivia, Venezuela, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, and Ecuador (80 years), and Honduras (35 years). That includes the 65th anniversary of reconstituting diplomatic relations with Cuba.
On this occasion, we have set up an all-encompassing exhibition in our building on Smolenskaya Square. I’m thrilled to welcome you to its opening.
I would like to begin by thanking our colleagues from our Ministry’s Department of History and Records and Department of Latin America. Thank you to the artists from the Creative Union Association for Promoting Culture and Art for their highly professional and creative efforts that made today’s event possible.
In addition to unique documents and photographs that describe the most outstanding events in our country’s relations with Latin America, the items on display here include exhibits that highlight the Latin American continent’s cultural identity.
Our relations go back to the Russian Empire. Many years have passed since then. I am pleased to note that despite changes in our country and around the world, we were able to ensure progress in cooperation with our partners from that region across a variety of areas. The outcomes of our joint work are presented at this exhibition.
We have always held in high regard the Latin American peoples’ aspirations to preserve their own civilisational identity, to acquire and strengthen genuine sovereignty, and to hold their future in their own hands. During the former Spanish colonies’ war of independence, the Russian Empire firmly adhered to the principle of non-interference.
Today, our country consistently advocates a greater role for the Latin American countries and integration associations in the emerging multipolar world order that is more equitable.
🤝 Just like our Latin American friends, we are firmly committed to democratising country-to-country relations and building them on the principles of international law, primarily the UN Charter, which enshrines the principle of the sovereign equality of states.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in World War II and related 80th anniversary of the United Nations. We will all celebrate these dates. A portion of the exhibition is dedicated to the Latin American and Caribbean States’ contribution to defeating Nazism. For example, the Brazilian Expeditionary Corps fought battles against German and Italian troops. The 201st Squadron of the Mexican Air Force, aka Aztec Eagles, fought in the Pacific theatre against Japan in 1945. People from many Latin American countries participated in the movement of solidarity with the Soviet Union and provided all kinds of help and assistance.
🌐 I would like to take this opportunity to once again express gratitude to our Latin American friends for standing with us on multilateral venues when it comes to the initiatives on combatting glorification of Nazism and falsification of history, and unacceptability, in general, of revising the outcomes of the Second World War and Great Victory. <...>
Russia-Latin America relations are steeped in a pragmatic, mutually beneficial, and ideology-free basis and boast an immense potential. We stand ready to work as a team to expand them in politics, trade and investment, scientific and technological research, culture, education, sports, and all other spheres.
☝️ The long-standing traditions of friendship, trust and mutual affection that bring our peoples together are the most important building blocks of success.

🌐 I would like to take this opportunity to once again express gratitude to our Latin American friends for standing with us on multilateral venues when it comes to the initiatives on combatting glorification of Nazism and falsification of history, and unacceptability, in general, of revising the outcomes of the Second World War and Great Victory. <...>
Russia-Latin America relations are steeped in a pragmatic, mutually beneficial, and ideology-free basis and boast an immense potential. We stand ready to work as a team to expand them in politics, trade and investment, scientific and technological research, culture, education, sports, and all other spheres.
☝️ The long-standing traditions of friendship, trust and mutual affection that bring our peoples together are the most important building blocks of success.

🎙️ Из интервью Посла России в Норвегии Н.В.Корчунова профессору Университета Юго-Восточной Норвегии Г.Дисену
Ключевые тезисы:
• Северный морской путь – один из самых перспективных, безопасных, коротких и экономически выгодных морских коридоров в мире. Востребованность СМП для глобальной торговли растет. Стабильно увеличивается грузопоток, который в прошлом году составил 37,9 млн.т. Транзит по Севморпути вырос на 44 % – грузотправители стали перенаправлять часть грузов в Азию через СМП.
• Освоение минерально-сырьевого потенциала Арктики – одна из наших ключевых задач, которая требует комплексного подхода. Речь идет не только об объектах на месторождениях и морских перевозках, но всей сети логистических цепочек, включая наземную и подводящую инфраструктуру.
• Россия готова к совместной работе не только с арктическими государствами, но со всеми, кто заинтересован в стабильном и мирном развитии региона и способен ориентироваться на долгосрочную перспективу.
• Основное последствие избирательного подхода некоторых государств к действующим международным нормам, в т.ч. по вопросу о расширении внешних границ континентального шельфа – рост неопределенности и дестабилизация региона, которая будет сказываться на перспективах экономической деятельности.
• Тот факт, что семь из восьми арктических государств входят в НАТО, говорит о том, что «формула безопасности» в высоких широтах становится все более сложной. Арктические страны находятся в непростой ситуации, сталкиваясь с вызовами в сфере безопасности, климата, остановкой полноценной научной кооперации, последствиями кризисов в других регионах. В такой ситуации единственное, чему способствует присутствие НАТО в регионе, это дальнейшая эскалация напряженности.
• Регион Азии – это драйвер мирового экономического роста. Китай и Индия обеспечивают значительную долю мирового ВВП. Закономерно, что эти страны мыслят в глобальных масштабах, не исключая Арктику из зоны своих интересов.
• Сейчас Норвегия следует в русле антироссийских установок западных стран. Учитывая экономическое и географическое положение Норвегии, понимание долгосрочных выгод, очевидно, что если бы Осло действовал в своих интересах, то не стал бы упускать возможности реализации совместных проектов, связанных с развитием Севморпути. Вместо это взят курс на конфронтацию и обрыв связей.
• Объективная картина такова, что Россия и Норвегия «обречены» на сотрудничество. Наши страны не просто соседи – будучи арктическими государствами мы несем особую ответственность за судьбу региона. Многие задачи в Арктике возможно решить только совместными усилиями. Изменение климата, деградация вечной мерзлоты, тематика биоразнообразия, чрезвычайные ситуации природного или техногенного характера и другие вопросы требуют поиска общих решений в рамках действующих межправительственных форматов и в т.ч. в интересах развития мировой науки.

#Victory80
🏅 8️⃣0️⃣ years ago, on April 13, 1945, the Soviet forces liberated the capital of Austria during the #Vienna Offensive.
🌟 By the spring of 1945, the Red Army drove the Nazi invaders out of Poland, Hungary and Slovakia and rapidly launched an offensive towards Germany. The Third Reich’s defeat was only a matter of time: the Soviet forces were preparing to attack Berlin.
***
Austria, annexed by the Nazis as a result of anschluss in 1938, served as a shield for the Third Reich’s southern regions during #WWII. The capital of Austria — the city of Vienna — was a strategically important point of the Nazi defence, which the enemy was committed to hold at any cost.
⚔️ In March 1945, during the successful offensive along the Austrian line of advance, the Red Army broke the resistance of the Nazi units deployed between the Danube and Lake Balaton (Hungary) and defeated the troops of the Nazi army group 'South'. Having advanced by that time up to 80 kilometers to Vienna, the Soviet forces launched the operation to liberate the Austrian capital.
The enemy undertook extensive preprations to hold the city. The streets were barricaded and mine-strewn. Firing points were set up in residential buildings. Destroyed houses were used to camouflage tanks and artillery pieces. All bridges over the Danube were prepared by the Nazis for demolition. In the event of retreat, the Nazis were ready to tear down the Austrian capital to the ground, including by destroying (!) its historical architectural heritage.
On April 5, 1945, the Soviet forces attacked the Nazi garrison in Vienna. Intense fighting erupted on the city outskirts. The Red Army was confronted by the most prepared enemy units and formations, including SS tank divisions. Soviet soldiers fought to death against the Nazis for every quarter and every building of the city.
With a view to prevent victims among the city's population and protect Vienna from destruction by the Nazis, the Soviet command addressed local residents:
📢 The Red Army entered Austria not to occupy its territory but only to defeat the enemy Nazi troops and liberate the country from German occupation. It also called on the Vienna residents to help fight the Nazis — this call was answered by many Austrian patriots.
On April 13, the last enemy point of resistance in the city centre was crushed, with Vienna being completely liberated from the Nazis.
During the fierce and brutal fighting for Vienna, the Red Army crushed Wehrmacht's 11 armoured divisions, destroyed the 6th SS Tank Army, and captured more than 130,000 enemy soldiers and officers. The Soviet people paid a high price for the liberation of Vienna from the Nazis: 38,000 Red Army soldiers gave their lives for saving the city from fascists.
Having liberated Vienna, our country provided aid to the city residents. The population was supplied with food: hundreds of tonnes of grain, meat, sugar, salt and other products were given to the Austrians. After the war, the people of Vienna recalled how their “fear of hunger had disappeared” and spoke with gratitude about the generosity of the Soviet people, which “exceeded all expectations.”
🎙 An excerpt from the briefing by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova (April 9, 2025):
***
🌟 A monument to the Soviet soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the liberation of Austria from Nazism was unveiled on August 19, 1945, on #Schwarzenbergplatz in the centre of Vienna. The country has 217 monuments and war graves on its territory.
Tens of thousands Red Army soldiers, who saved Europe from the Nazi plague, are buried in Austria.
❗️ In 1955, under the State Treaty for the Re-establishment of Independent and Democratic Austria (Art.19), Vienna took the obligations to respect, preserve and maintain the graves of the soldiers on Austrian territory.

#ПесниПобеды
🎖 В преддверии 80-летия Победы советского народа в Великой Отечественной войне мы вспоминаем Песни Победы — легендарную музыку военных лет, ставшей путеводной звездой для целого поколения советских людей от мала до велика — всех тех, кто и на передовой, и в тылу приближали общую Победу над нацизмом.
Песни Победы стали верным товарищем, союзником советских воинов, их грозным оружием в борьбе с врагом, не позволявшим агрессору сломить дух защитников нашей Родины. Фронтовая музыка помогала красноармейцам преодолевать тяготы и лишения, дарила надежду и вселяла веру в скорую Победу.
***
▪️ Вероломное нападение гитлеровской Германии на СССР 22 июня 1941 года — страшная дата в истории нашей страны, оставившая глубокий шрам в памяти целых поколений. Миллионы людей, вставших на защиту Отечества в тот роковой день, шли на смертный бой, музыкальным символом, воплощением которого стала легендарная песня «Священная война» за авторством Александра Васильевича Александрова.
«Песня, сражающаяся за жизнь» — так окрестили современники «Священную войну» — самую суровую и яркую музыкальную композицию, служившую всенародным гимном борьбы с нацистскими захватчиками.
🎶 Текст песни #СвященнаяВойна основан на стихотворении Василия Лебедева-Кумача с одноимённым названием. Лирическое произведение было опубликовано на второй день войны, 24 июня 1941 года, на страницах всесоюзных газет «Известия» и «Красная звезда». На стихотворение обратил внимание Александров, руководивший на тот момент Краснознамённым ансамблем песни и пляски Красной армии. Композитор написал к тексту «Священной войны» музыку, ставшую бессмертной.
Уже 26 июня, на четвёртые сутки ожесточённых боёв с фашистами, «Священная война» прозвучала на Белорусском вокзале, откуда на передовую отправлялись красноармейцы.
С октября 1941 года и на протяжении всей войны композиция исполнялась по всесоюзному радио СССР каждое утро в 6:00 после боя курантов. Призыв «Вставай, страна огромная…» прозвучал в каждом доме огромной страны, вдохновил на боевые и трудовые подвиги целое поколение будущих победителей.

#RussiaUSA
• Restoring our dialogue with President of the United States Donald Trump is a natural step. Importantly, both Sides are willing to move in this direction despite the many challenges and the divergence of our national interests on several, if not most of the international matters. We need to hold meetings and treat each other as well-educated and polite people by listening and hearing each other.
• The sincere desire to transition to normality shown by President Donald Trump is met with resistance after recent political upheavals that have rocked the Washington-based elites. They are preparing some moves behind the scenes, using their lobbies and the media. Their aim is to prevent President Donald Trump from mending relations with Russia and putting them back on track as they should be between two great powers and between all countries, for that matter.
#NATO #Ukraine
• International humanitarian law explicitly prohibits placement of military facilities and weapons in or around civilian sites.
• Since the onset of the [Ukrainian] crisis, there have been countless instances of artillery and air defence systems deployed in [Ukrainian] city quarters next to kindergartens. The internet was full of videos showing Ukrainian women yelling at the military telling them to leave retail outlets and playgrounds, but they keep doing so to this day.
• We have verified information about who was inside the building that was struck in Sumy. It was yet another gathering of Ukrainian military commanders alongside their Western counterparts operating under the guise of mercenaries, or someone else.
• NATO military personnel are there and are directly in charge of the operations. Everyone is aware of that. Even The New York Times has reported that U.S. military staff have played a central role in orchestrating attacks on Russia from the outset. Without their involvement, the vast majority of long-range missile strikes would never have happened.
• President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that the decision by the Joe Biden administration to drag Ukraine into NATO was a major mistake. Among other things, it served as a trigger, or one of the triggers, in terms of what is happening today in Ukraine. President Trump has recognised in public several times that he viewed this as one of the root causes.
#UkraineCrisis
• Speaking at the Russia's Foreign Ministry on June 14, 2024, President Vladimir Putin laid out a clear framework for a lasting, reliable and just settlement [of the Ukraine crisis] which would primarily focus on fulfilling the interests of the people and ensuring that human rights are respected <...> as per the UN Charter.
• For us the future of the people is what matters most, and saying the territorial integrity of Ukraine cannot be violated means letting Russians, the Russian-speaking people who escaped from the Nazi regime end up at the mercy of these beasts.
• All peacekeeping “arrangements” painted by “macrons” and “starmers” seek to preserve at least a small piece of land as home to the blatantly Nazi and Russophobic regime designed to be used for preparing another war against Russia. This poses a major challenge for the West’s reputation and credibility.

📰 Highlights from Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's interview with Kommersant
• The Europeans have literally gone mad in their frenzy [over Ukraine], especially the leaders of France, Britain, the Baltic states and several other EU and NATO countries. Unlike them, Donald Trump's administration has tried to get to the bottom of this issue and understand its root causes, which go back to what Washington and Brussels did to bring the current regime to power by staging and sponsoring an anti-constitutional government coup in February 2014.
• It is an uphill struggle to get Russia-US relations out of the deep hole they are currently in after three years of free fall. This is especially true given that the sincere desire of President Trump and his team to return to normality is beginning to meet resistance after the shock that has shaken the Washington-based elites (both Democrats and some Republicans).
• There is no such thing as globalisation in the world economy anymore. It has been destroyed. It was not Donald Trump who did it, but Joe Biden, by imposing sanctions and using them as his one and only foreign policy tool. More than half the countries in the world are facing sanctions and various restrictions.
• Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron are obsessed with this idea of peacekeepers and are busy cobbling together a "coalition of the willing". But most of the EU and NATO countries aren't so enthusiastic. They say a line of contact is a good thing. Ending the conflict is the most important thing. But they are still leaving the political solution for later.
• All of the "peacekeeping arrangements" promoted by Macron and Starmer are designed to preserve at least a small piece of land as the home of the blatantly Russophobic regime, which will be used to prepare another war against Russia. This is a major challenge to the West's reputation and credibility.

#KievRegimeCrimes
The Kiev regime cynically continues daily attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure despite its own vows to support the 30-day moratorium on firing at energy facilities, which was coordinated by the Presidents of Russia and the United States on March 18.
Russia, in this context, strictly observes the ban on such attacks.
Between April 4 and 7, the AFU launched 32 assaults on energy facilities in Russian regions.
***
A priest from Sudzha told journalists that Ukrainian soldiers had sold “tickets for plundering the Sudzha District” to residents in the Sumy Region of Ukraine.
On presenting this “marauding ticket” at a Ukrainian checkpoint, they got a permission to drive to occupied settlements, where these hunters for other people’s property picked up houses for plunder. They plundered whatever they could carry away.
#Europe #Militarisation
On April 3-4, NATO foreign ministers gathered in Brussels showing once again that NATO is relentless in its efforts to militarise Europe and to concoct confrontational plans with regard to our country. The alliance continues to believe that Russia remains a long-term threat to it and will remain such after the Ukraine conflict is over.
🤷♀️ As they are getting prepared for an armed conflict with Russia, which NATO officials believe could break out within the next four to five years, NATO countries plan to dramatically increase military spending.
Brussels believes Zelensky’s position will get stronger with the laughable coalition of the willing on his side. The latter is a group of maniacs, the extremely radical part of the alliance’s member states, who are eager to directly participate in the Ukraine conflict on the side of the regime that is led by Bandera followers.
The ringleaders of this group of reckless adventurers — Britain and France — are convening summits and meetings of general staff chiefs, failing to realise that their reckless actions could lead to the largest armed conflict involving nuclear powers ever since World War II.
#EU #sanctions #Russophobia
Brussels assiduously obscures the true cost to the EU of massive anti-Russian sanctions introduced since the start of the special military operation, alongside other ill-considered measures — or conversely, “highly calculated” efforts to dismantle economic ties with our country.
Were one to assess the full extent of the European Union’s lost profit due to its anti-Russian energy stance, the magnitude of the issue would appear overwhelming. Expert estimates suggest that from 2022 to 2024, as a consequence of procuring more costly energy resources over Russian alternatives, the European Union incurred losses of approximately €50-60 billion, exclusive of indirect economic repercussions. Had the energy crisis not materialised – its root cause being the ill-judged manoeuvres of the European Union and the West collectively – and had the EU continued sourcing Russian energy at equitable prices, member states might have realised savings exceeding €500 billion.
This, however, is not the entirety of the predicament. Expert analyses have shown that by 2024, the cumulative GDP losses across EU nations attained 3.8%, with an average decline of 2.4% over the period spanning 2022 to 2024. Altogether, this translates to approximately €1.3 trillion in damages.

#KievRegimeCrimes
The Kiev regime cynically continues daily attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure despite its own vows to support the 30-day moratorium on firing at energy facilities, which was coordinated by the Presidents of Russia and the United States on March 18.
Russia, in this context, strictly observes the ban on such attacks.
Between April 4 and 7, the AFU launched 32 assaults on energy facilities in Russian regions.

A priest from Sudzha told journalists that Ukrainian soldiers had sold “tickets for plundering the Sudzha District” to residents in the Sumy Region of Ukraine.
On presenting this “marauding ticket” at a Ukrainian checkpoint, they got a permission to drive to occupied settlements, where these hunters for other people’s property picked up houses for plunder. They plundered whatever they could carry away.
#Europe #Militarisation
On April 3-4, NATO foreign ministers gathered in Brussels showing once again that NATO is relentless in its efforts to militarise Europe and to concoct confrontational plans with regard to our country. The alliance continues to believe that Russia remains a long-term threat to it and will remain such after the Ukraine conflict is over.
🤷♀️ As they are getting prepared for an armed conflict with Russia, which NATO officials believe could break out within the next four to five years, NATO countries plan to dramatically increase military spending.
Brussels believes Zelensky’s position will get stronger with the laughable coalition of the willing on his side. The latter is a group of maniacs, the extremely radical part of the alliance’s member states, who are eager to directly participate in the Ukraine conflict on the side of the regime that is led by Bandera followers.
The ringleaders of this group of reckless adventurers — Britain and France — are convening summits and meetings of general staff chiefs, failing to realise that their reckless actions could lead to the largest armed conflict involving nuclear powers ever since World War II.
#EU #sanctions #Russophobia
Brussels assiduously obscures the true cost to the EU of massive anti-Russian sanctions introduced since the start of the special military operation, alongside other ill-considered measures — or conversely, “highly calculated” efforts to dismantle economic ties with our country.
Were one to assess the full extent of the European Union’s lost profit due to its anti-Russian energy stance, the magnitude of the issue would appear overwhelming. Expert estimates suggest that from 2022 to 2024, as a consequence of procuring more costly energy resources over Russian alternatives, the European Union incurred losses of approximately €50-60 billion, exclusive of indirect economic repercussions. Had the energy crisis not materialised – its root cause being the ill-judged manoeuvres of the European Union and the West collectively – and had the EU continued sourcing Russian energy at equitable prices, member states might have realised savings exceeding €500 billion.

🎙 From FM Sergey Lavrov’s answers to the media questions during his remarks at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum (April 12, 2025)
Read in full
💬 We are not about territories. We are about the people who live on these lands, whose ancestors lived there for centuries, who founded cities like Odessa, Catherine the Great, who built factories, who built houses, ports, and these people, by twist of history, during the Soviet days, became not part of Russia, but part of Ukraine, because this was considered a consolidating factor to neutralize the ultra-radicals living in the Western part of Ukraine when it joined the Soviet Union after the war.
The people who live there, they are being deprived of all human rights. I quoted the UN Charter, which in Article 1 says everybody must respect the human rights of every individual, irrespective of race, gender, language, or religion.
Human rights and language rights of anybody who is ethnic Russian and lives on the territory which used to be Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, they were deprived of their basic rights. The Russian language has been prohibited at all stages of education, in the areas of culture, media.
Russian books have been thrown out of the libraries. The Nazis in Germany were burning them, but Ukrainians are much more smart. They utilize them and get money for this, you know, but everybody is happy. And recently, the canonic Ukrainian Orthodox Church was prohibited by law. They literally exterminate anything Russian.
When in September 2021, long before the operation which we had to launch, Zelensky was asked in an interview what he thought, and at that time the Minsk Agreement was still valid, though later Germans, the French, and the Ukrainian president before Zelensky admitted that they never intended to implement them, they needed more time to arm Ukraine, speaking of the ceasefire for 30 days, logic is the same.
In November 2021, Zelensky was asked what he thought about the people on the other side of the line of contact in Donbass. And he said, trying to sound clever, "You know, there are people and there are species”. Another time he gave his advice “to those who live in Ukraine but feel associated with the Russian culture, for the sake of your kids, for the sake of your grandchildren, get out to Russia”.
Just a couple of weeks ago, in another interview, when he was asked what is driving him, he said, "Hatred to Russia." The interviewer wanted to clarify, “To President Putin?”, he said, "No, to all Russians."
This is said by the person who during his artistic days was defending the right of Ukrainians to speak Russian, and he said, "Get lost, don't even think about touching the Russian language, it's our history." So, this is where we are.
Hatred is not the best guide. By the way, maybe somebody knows, Israel never prohibited Arab language, no? I don't think so.
❗️ I think Ukraine is the only country on Earth which is multinational, and the language of one huge ethnic group is prohibited.
If you read and listen to what the West is saying, EU, NATO, especially EU. Human rights is on top of everything. When they discuss Venezuela, Russia, Serbia, Türkiye, they never forget about human rights. Check what they're saying on the situation in Ukraine. They say Zelensky and his team defend European values. If your value is exterminating the language of those who founded the country, if your value is to glorify Nazis and their collaborators who were convicted by the Nuremberg Tribunal, to whom you put monuments, whose birthdays you celebrate as national holiday, while ruining, toppling the monuments to those who saved Europe from Nazism, toppling the monument in Odessa, which I mentioned already, to Catherine the Great, who founded that city.
Soon after this monument to Catherine the Great, the Empress, was toppled, UNESCO granted the Odessa central region where the monument was located the status of World Heritage. It's such a shame to the lady who happens to be French and happens, I think, by default to become director-general of this respected organization.

Russia trusts that Pope Francis’ spiritual legacy will guide his successors who share his commitment to reinforcing global peace, security, and stability.

⚡Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation:
Yesterday, the Russian Armed Forces launched two Iskander-M operational-tactical missiles in conditions of heavy electronic warfare countermeasures and foreign-made air defence systems in action to hit the site in Sumy where commanding officers of the Seversk task force had a meeting. More than 60 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been eliminated.
▪️ The Kiev regime continues to use the Ukrainian population as a human shield by deploying military facilities and carrying out activities involving servicemen in the centre of the densely populated city.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to the media questions during his remarks at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum (Antalya, April 12, 2025)
Key points:
• More and more countries want to determine their life themselves, to have fair treatment, to have fair competition in economy, trade, in other areas, just in line with the principles of globalization, which were promoted by our Western friends, especially by the United States, for so many decades.
• What we observe is fragmentation of the world economy. This is the time of uncertainty, I would say. Nobody knows how the situation with world trade and investment is going to end.
• The United States recognize that other countries also have their national interests, and those interests would never coincide fully, maybe even half of these interests would not be similar. But when the interests, especially the interests of big countries, coincide, it is essential for them to find ways to materialize them into mutually beneficial economic, logistical, and other projects, while when these interests contradict each other, it is the responsibility and duty of countries, especially if we speak about big powers, not to allow these differences to degenerate into confrontation, especially the hot confrontation.
• I will repeat again what I said then, and I repeated this publicly also, when we speak about eliminating root causes of any conflict, including Ukrainian conflict. This is the only way to resolve the problem and to establish long-lasting peace - remove root causes.
• If Ukrainian nazi regime, I cannot describe it otherwise, enjoys the cover from the European Union, which as I just mentioned, never dropped a word about the situation with human rights in Ukraine, then this is not our problem. We listen to those people who voted at the referendum to join Russia to restore all their rights which belong to them by international law and by history, by justice.
• The European Union is not happy. And instead of doing something about this situation for the sake of their citizens Brussels people threatened to stop importing any grain from Russia. They're very specific leaders. They say that Kaja Kallas, Annalena Baerbock, they were saying yes, when criticized by the people who saying, “We live worse than before”. Yes, we understand, but our electorate should suffer for the sake of Ukraine, while at the same time thousands and thousands of Ukrainians living there in European luxury, buying very expensive vehicles. But this is what the European elite calls European values, which they defend in the person of Zelensky regime.
• I gave to our colleagues from Türkiye, to Minister Hakan Fidan, what we give to Americans, to UN, to OSCE, the list of facts, listing the attacks by Ukraine during the last three weeks against Russian energy infrastructure.
• We understand that Zelensky hates all Russians, so he gives orders. Either he gives orders, and they are not taken, or he is lying, that he is giving these orders. It's a tragedy. It's a tragedy.
