🎙 Ambassador Andrei Kelin's address on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in Europe Day
💬 Today marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day — a date of profound historical and symbolic significance. It is a solemn and powerful reminder of the shared sacrifice and unity that once brought together the nations of the anti-Hitler coalition against Nazism — the greatest evil of the 20th century.
For the Soviet Union, the war came at a terrible cost: millions of lives lost, many cities destroyed and families torn apart. For three long years, the Eastern Front bore the full weight of the Nazi war machine. The fate of humanity hung in the balance in fierce battles at Moscow and Stalingrad, Leningrad and Kursk, the Caucasus and Crimea.
Russia has always acknowledged the importance of the Western Front and the contribution of our Allies to our common cause.
We pay tribute to the bravery of British soldiers and others who fought under the banner of the anti-Hitler coalition — on land, in the air and at sea. We honour the memory of British veterans of the Arctic Convoys — whose perilous missions played a key role in delivering supplies to the Soviet Union through the icy northern waters. Their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
However, the times have changed. In many regrettable ways the spirit of the wartime alliance has given way to outright confrontation. Distorting or downplaying the Red Army's crucial role in liberating Europe from fascism is seen by some Western politicians to be a useful means of denying Russia a legitimate role in global governance.
❗️ Regrettably, such geopolitically motivated revisionism seems to go hand in hand with condoning and even praising Nazi collaborators and their followers. The ideological white-washing of the Kiev regime and its hideous crimes against Russians and Russian speakers here in the UK and in other parts of the West is a prime example.
The wilful misrepresentation of historical truths is not only deeply offensive to the memory of the countless victims of Nazi atrocities. It is also fraught with real danger for the fabric of human society. If hard-learned lessons of the bloodiest conflict in history are forgotten, then there is nothing to stop humankind from reenacting and reliving its horrors.
We believe it is our responsibility to safeguard the truth — to ensure that future generations are aware of the true cost of victory and the extraordinary effort that went into making it possible. History should not be used as a political tool, but preserved as a foundation for learning, reflection, and, ultimately, reconciliation.
Russia will continue to cherish the memory of the British soldiers, sailors and airmen who were once our allies. Their audacity and valour in the face of absolute evil will remain a lasting symbol of what nations can achieve when they stand together.
☝️ And perhaps, one day, it will be these very pages of shared history — filled with sacrifice and solidarity — that will quietly reopen paths towards renewed dialogue and trust between our countries.
Happy Victory Day!

✍️ Russia’s MFA Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova:
According to a report by Sky News, the neo-Nazis of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will participate in the VE Day procession in London on May 8.
The country has not seen anything like this for nearly 90 years since the infamous Cable Street march, when Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists was granted official permission to march through London’s East End in October 1936 – an event widely regarded as a shameful chapter in British history.
At that time, many showed support for the British Fascists in London. There were still nearly two years left until the 1938 Munich Agreement – the example of Britain’s appeasing Hitler. England still demonstrated conscience and dignity as anti-fascist activists and some concerned police officers managed to disrupt the far-right and anti-Semite procession in the city.
But this time, London will actually see them march.
Surprisingly, the British authorities’ rationale behind the decision is the Kiev regime’s confrontation with Russia, which is cited directly by Sky News.
This evokes disturbing historical parallels of Great Britain’s notorious insidiousness.
For instance, Winston Churchill, who took part in the Yalta and Potsdam conferences along with the other Big Three leaders, publicly affirmed the alliance with the USSR while addressing Soviet people and Generalissimo Joseph Stalin, and praised the Red Army’s sacrifices. However – as we all know it now – behind closed doors, he authorised the drafting of Operation Unthinkable, a secret plan for a potential Allied invasion of the Soviet Union.
These plans remained classified for half a century until they were finally released by the British General Staff in 1988. Apparently, MI5 and MI6 thought that the Soviet Union, which was on the verge of collapse at the time, would have its historical memory buried, and the publication of these materials would no longer compromise London.
Britain’s direct armed confrontation with the USSR is nothing new. During the Russian Civil War, British forces participated in the Triple Entente intervention. Less than three decades later, the idea of attacking Russia again resurfaced in London.
In the immediate aftermath of World War II, many in London hoped for the launch of an offensive against the USSR. The fully developed plan assumed the “strategic defeat” of Moscow after the end of the war in Europe.
Historians continue to debate why the British never sent their weapons against Soviet troops in 1945–1946. Some claim that the Conservative Party losing the election was the cause, while others point to fears that such a war against the USSR would crush Western Europe and Britain itself. Perhaps London ultimately recognised the military prowess of the Red Army that had decisively defeated the Nazi war machine and thus could take upon any challenge.
Now, British authorities, unable to achieve their strategic objectives through inflicting the “strategic defeat” and led by despair and hopelessness, have chosen to allow actual Nazis – Ukrainian terrorists and militants armed with British weapons – to march through Trafalgar Square.
The Global Majority will see it as a parade of ideological descendants of Nazis, collaborators, and criminals responsible for the Holocaust and genocide of Soviet people.
In their attempts to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia, the Anglo-Saxons only inflicted a blow on themselves. Few things could be more shameful and humiliating than allowing inglorious neo-Nazi bastards to walk in the heart of London on the anniversary of Victory. Unfortunately, this is the biggest “strategic defeat” ever experienced by the ordinary British.

The message reads, in part:
Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis.
Pope Francis was held in great respect internationally as a devoted servant of the Christian faith, a wise religious leader and statesman, and a consistent defender of the high values of humanism and justice.
Throughout the years of his pontificate, Pope Francis actively promoted the dialogue between Russian Orthodox and the Roman Catholic churches, as well as constructive interaction between Russia and the Holy See.
I had many opportunities to speak with this outstanding man, and I will cherish his memory forever.
In this sad hour, I would like to convey my words of sympathy and support to you and the entire Catholic clergy.

📰 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.

🕊 As 3 May marks #WorldPressFreedomDay, we honour the memory of Russian journalists who have lost their lives for simply doing their job — seeking and reporting the truth.
Since 2014, over 60 Russian media workers — including correspondents, cameramen and volunteers — have been killed by the Kiev regime. Many were not caught in crossfire, but deliberately targeted in terrorist attacks far from the front lines.
Among them were:
▪️ Darya Dugina, assassinated in a car bombing near Moscow;
▪️ Anna Prokofyeva, killed by a landmine near the Ukrainian border;
▪️ Andrey Stenin, whose vehicle was shelled near Donetsk;
▪️ Maxim Fomin (Vladlen Tatarsky), murdered in a targeted bombing at a public event in St Petersburg.
These names are not just part of a list — each represents a voice silenced, a life taken in an effort to expose the realities of the Ukraine conflict and the crimes of the Kiev regime.
Sadly, this tragic pattern has continued into 2025. Journalists such as Alexander Martemyanov, Alexander Fedorchak and Nikita Goldin have died in targeted attacks.
❌ Despite loud proclamations about press freedom by Western governments, including the UK, and international organisations, these crimes are all too often ignored or dismissed, while those responsible remain unpunished.
In this context, the Martyrs for the Truth project, developed by regional news agencies and supported by the Russian Foreign Ministry, aims to preserve the legacy of these brave media workers and ensure that their voices are not forgotten. Behind each face is a story of courage, dedication and sacrifice.

❌24 апреля британскими властями анонсирована очередная порция антироссийских запретов на передачу технологий и программного обеспечения, а также ограничений в отношении ряда товаров.
❗️Этот сколь враждебный, столь и бессмысленный жест, очевидно, призван послужить местному истеблишменту психологической компенсацией за сорванный накануне по вине Киева лондонский раунд консультаций об урегулировании вокруг Украины. Ничем иным нельзя объяснить исступленную попытку еще сильнее «отменить» и без того в значительной мере «обнуленную» Лондоном российско-британскую торговлю. Вышедшие из-под пера местных казуистов убористые предписания, как и все предыдущие, не окажут ровным счетом никакого эффекта на нашу страну. Они не навредят российской экономике, темпы роста которой давно превысили самые смелые британские мечтания, и не предотвратят достижение нашей страной поставленных внешнеполитических целей, в т.ч. применительно к СВО. Отрицая очевидное, в Лондоне уподобляются английскому королю-викингу Кнуду, пытавшемуся своими эдиктами повернуть вспять морской прибой.
☝️Демонстрируемый британским руководством настрой на дальнейшее повышение градуса конфронтации с Россией зримо расходится с декларируемым международным сообществом, в т.ч. ближайшими союзниками Лондона, стремлением к переговорному урегулированию вокруг Украины. Предлагаем британским властям проявить, наконец, разумный подход к необходимости стабилизации предельно напряженной обстановки в Европе и перестать растрачивать свои ресурсы на показушные антироссийские акции-однодневки.

#KievRegimeCrimes
📓 A new report, which was prepared by The International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis chaired by Maxim Grigoriev, titled 'War Crimes of the Kiev Regime. Materials of the International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazi (2024–2025)' has recently been published.
This edition presents direct testimonies of victims of Ukrainian war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Their words are direct accusations of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi regime, which, with the support of Western countries, systematically and purposefully organized mass shootings of Russian and Russian-speaking citizens in the territory temporarily under its control.
In the territory temporarily controlled by the Kiev regime, the Russian-speaking population has been subjected to constant terror since 2014.
❗️ Witness testimonies in this publication denounce the Ukrainian authorities for murder, torture, beatings, rape and disappearances of citizens.
The Kiev Neo-Nazi regime has systematically and flagrantly violated the Geneva Conventions and massively committed war crimes, which, according to international law, have #NoStatuteOfLimitations.

💬 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov:
The facts presented herein about the criminal acts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are truly appalling. Deliberate killing of civilians, torture, beatings, looting, bombing, shelling and destruction of purely civilian objects — this is by no means a complete list of crimes committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazi.
This publication is especially valuable due to the fact that it is based on the testimonies of eyewitnesses and people who suffered directly at the hands of armed groups controlled by the Kiev regime.
The atrocities committed by the Ukro-Nazi are hard to read about. But it is necessary to know about them. It is necessary because they are the simplest, most direct and irrefutable proof of the correctness and timeliness of the decision to carry out a special military operation to save people of Russian culture and eliminate threats to the security of our country.
Today, Russian soldiers and officers protect the peaceful population of Russian regions, life, honour and dignity of our citizens and compatriots in Donbass and Novorossiya.
Our common task is to do everything necessary to ensure that all those responsible for crimes are punished inevitably. This is the sacred mission of the book you are about to read.

❌ On the eve of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory we continue to witness persistent attempts in the UK to distort the historical truth about the Second World War and to discredit our country’s decisive role in the defeat of Nazism.
In their efforts to portray the Kiev regime as a "force for good" some UK officials go to great lengths to conceal the overtly neo-Nazi nature of their clientele. They remain silent that in today’s Ukraine Hitler collaborators who fought alongside the Nazis – such as Roman Shukhevych and Stepan Bandera – have been officially elevated to the status of national heroes. These individuals bear responsibility for the mass murder of Jews, Poles, Russians and fellow Ukrainians.
A particularly egregious insult to the memory of those who perished in the battle against fascism was the UK-initiated invitation to an informal meeting of the UN Security Council, earlier this year, of a fighter from the Azov Battalion bearing an SS "Totenkopf" tattoo. Meanwhile, personnel from this infamous Nazi SS division were responsible, among other atrocities, for the execution of 97 British prisoners of war in France in 1940.
The recent participation of Ukrainian combatants in official commemorations in central London represents yet another glaring example of this deeply troubling trend. <...>
Attempts to exploit this solemn anniversary to stoke militaristic hysteria in British society, imbued with an anti-Russian sentiment, do little credit to official London.
☝️ It worth remembering that a skewed interpretation of history produces a flawed perception of reality.

#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.

⚡️ President Vladimir Putin: Guided by humanitarian motives, the Russian side announces an Easter ceasefire from 6 pm today to 12 am Monday. I hereby order all military operations ceased for this period.
We assume that the Ukrainian side will follow our example. At the same time, our troops should be prepared to repel possible ceasefire violations and provocations by the enemy, as well as any aggressive acts on their part.
We are well aware of the fact the Kiev regime violated agreements on refraining from targeting energy infrastructure facilities more than a hundred times. <...>
Our decision on the Easter truce will demonstrate whether the Kiev regime is sincere, ready, willing and able to comply with the agreements, to participate in peace negotiations aimed at addressing the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis.
☝️ For our part, we have always been ready to move in this direction and strongly welcome the aspirations of the United States, President Trump, our Chinese friends, the President of China, the BRICS countries and all supporters of a just and peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.

📺 Watch Ambassador Andrei Kelin's interview with Laura Kuenssberg on BBC One (13 April 2025)
Key talking points:
🔴 We do not want a ceasefire just to make a spectacular gesture, for publicity or for the media. We need a full-scale settlement, once and for all. So the ceasefire is the first step. But after that we need a serious framework for a treaty or an agreement, that will put an end to any escalation, any use of force in the area. We should live in peace here in Europe.
🔴 The new announcement [by the UK and the EU] of packages of weapons for the Ukrainian army is not a path to peace.
🔴 [Russia and the US] have entered into a political process [on the Ukraine conflict]. Sooner or later this peace process will bring us to a result, and one should not obstruct this political process. It is very important. Because at the moment the European Union, together with the United Kingdom, is doing everything to stop it.
🔴 For us [the Ukraine conflict] is a question of our sovereignty, of whether we have keep our sovereignty or whether we will be subordinated to the Western desires and to the Western interests.
🔴 Any NATO contingent on Ukrainian soil is not acceptable, whether in a treaty or otherwise. In any case, we will have to agree together on the overall framework and our consent will be needed for that.
🔴 There is no threat at all to the UK from Russia. This threat has been invented. <...> If the UK wants to continue to worsen relations [with Russia], to invent new threats ostensibly coming from Russia, which is not the case, that is up to the UK.
🔴 The Foreign Influence Registration Scheme introduced in the UK is a humiliation for the Russian people who are in contact with the British citizens, because it will spoil our cultural, humanitarian, scientific and all other kinds of relations. It is an instrument of McCarthyism.

❌ В канун 80-летия Великой Победы мы хорошо видим непрекращающиеся попытки в Соединённом Королевстве исказить историческую правду о Второй мировой войне и дискредитировать главную роль нашей страны в победе над фашизмом.
Пытаясь представить киевский режим в качестве «силы добра», в Лондоне стыдливо умалчивают об истинной неонацистской сущности своих «протеже».
Закрывают глаза на то, что на современной Украине в ранг героев официально возведены сражавшиеся на стороне гитлеровцев коллаборационисты – в частности, нацистские приспешники Роман Шухевич и Степан Бандера, виновные в массовых убийствах евреев, поляков, русских и самих украинцев.
Кощунственным оскорблением памяти всех, кто пал в борьбе с фашизмом, стало приглашение по инициативе Лондона на неформальное заседание Совета Безопасности ООН в январе этого года боевика батальона «Азов» с татуировкой дивизии СС «Мёртвая голова». Напомним, что каратели этого германского подразделения несут ответственность, помимо прочего, за совершённое в 1940 году во Франции убийство 97 британских военнопленных.
Кульминацией этих усилий в минувшие дни стало участие военнослужащих ВСУ в торжественных мероприятиях в центре британской столицы. <...>
Попытки эксплуатации памятного юбилея для возгонки в британском обществе милитаристской истерии с антироссийским контекстом не делают чести официальному Лондону.
☝️ Следует помнить, что селективная трактовка исторических событий не доводит до добра.

❌On 24 April the British authorities announced yet another batch of anti-Russian bans on the transfer of technologies and software, as well as restrictions covering a range of goods.
❗️This hostile, though futile, gesture is evidently intended to serve as means of moral compensation for the local establishment following the collapse of consultations on Ukraine in London due to Kiev’s intransigence. There is no other way of explaining this desperate attempt to further “cancel” Russia-UK trade, already for the most part obliterated by London.
The arcanely worded regulations, like all those issued before, will have no effect on our country. They will not harm the Russian economy, whose growth rates have long surpassed the wildest of British dreams, nor will they impede our country’s determination in attaining its foreign policy goals, including those relating to the Special Military Operation. In their obstinate refusal to accept reality, the UK authorities bring to mind the King Canute of England who allegedly sought to turn back the sea tide by decree.
☝️The UK government’s visible intent to further inflame confrontation with Russia stands in stark contrast to the publicly stated interest of the global community —including Britain’s own closest allies — in finding a negotiated path forward on Ukraine. We call upon the UK leadership to take a rational stance in addressing the need to stabilise the precarious security situation in Europe, and to avoid squandering national resources on theatrical and short-lived gestures of hostility towards Russia.

🎙 Интервью Посла России в Великобритании А.В.Келина ведущей телеканала «Россия 24» Д.Н.Козловой (23 апреля 2025 года)
Основные тезисы:
🔸 Ситуация вокруг сегодняшней встречи [в Лондоне] изменилась буквально в одночасье после отказа госсекретаря США М.Рубио от участия в ней. <...> Нет сомнений, что решение М.Рубио было принято по итогам трезвой оценки подлинной готовности киевского режима и его европейских кураторов участвовать в переговорах <...>. Однако вместо приверженности миру, о которой столько говорят в Лондоне, Париже и Киеве, американская сторона теперь увидела интриганство и обструкционизм с целью не признать реалии на земле, затянуть время. <...> Теперь в этой недоговороспособности Киева смогли в полной мере убедиться и в администрации президента Д.Трампа.
🔸 Противоречия в подходах Британии видны невооруженным глазом. Любому понятно, что британская сторона могла бы легко подтвердить декларируемую приверженность миру, просто прекратив военную подпитку киевского режима, однако в Лондоне придерживаются другого подхода.
🔸 Все прекрасно понимают, что идея присутствия [на Украине] европейских, а фактически натовских контингентов не имеет даже намека на беспристрастность. Они бы действовали исключительно в интересах Киева. <...> Такое размещение [войск] для нас абсолютно неприемлемо.
🔸 <...> Для всех очевидно, что наша инициатива о пасхальном перемирии сыграла огромную роль, на деле показав, что остановить военные действия вполне возможно.
🔸Мы прилагаем все усилия, чтобы провести как можно больше мероприятий, посвященных юбилею Великой Победы. <...> Как и в предыдущие годы, 9 мая мы планируем торжественную церемонию с возложением венков и цветов к Советскому военному мемориалу. В ней будут принимать участие послы и дипломаты из стран СНГ, российские соотечественники, учащиеся русскоязычных школ. <...> Целый ряд памятных акций пройдет и в других городах Великобритании. Официальную часть завершит прием в Посольстве.
🔸Сейчас наши дипломаты проверяют состояние всех (порядка двух десятков) советских воинских захоронений на территории Британии. На следующей неделе <...> мы планируем разбить небольшой сад в память о жертвах Великой Отечественной войны. <...> Рассчитываем, что британские власти обеспечат должный уровень безопасности и проявят уважение в отношении всех мероприятий, связанных с этой знаменательной датой.

🗞 Интервью Посла России в Великобритании Андрея Келина информагентству ТАСС (17 апреля 2025 года)
Основные тезисы:
🔹 Воспринимаем ведущиеся по инициативе Лондона и Парижа переговоры [о создании «коалиции желающих»] как, по существу, подготовку иностранной интервенции для консервации правящего режима [на Украине]. Для России всё это абсолютно неприемлемо.
🔹 Cобственноручно сделанный Лондоном выбор в пользу отказа от нормальных отношений с нашей страной не добавил Великобритании ни внутренней устойчивости, ни социально-экономического благоденствия, ни авторитета в международных делах.
🔹 В Лондоне пытаются настроить против нас собственное население и партнёров. Под фиктивными предлогами вводятся ограничения в отношении нашего Посольства. И прессинг этот усиливается. Понятное дело, что он будет и впредь получать адекватный ответ с российской стороны.
🔹 Российско-британские отношения пребывают в затяжном кризисе. Нынешнее лейбористское правительство, как и при консерваторах, претендует на роль вдохновителя недружественных антироссийских акций. Как правило, вопреки очевидным интересам собственных граждан.
🔹 Любая нормализация возможна только в случае перехода Лондона к взаимоуважительному диалогу на равных и с учётом интересов обеих сторон. Этого, увы, со стороны Британии не просматривается.

🚀 Yuri Gagarin's 108-minute voyage around the Earth inspired generations to dream beyond the stars. With his boyish grin and boundless courage, he quickly became a global icon and his legacy has been immortalised in statues and monuments across the world.
Yet one of the most unexpected tributes to the first cosmonaut lies far from space museums or bustling capitals — on the windswept Orkney Islands, off the north coast of Scotland.
Here, just steps from the Neolithic village of Skara Brae – a UNESCO World Heritage Site inhabited over 5,000 years ago – stands a carved stone that simply reads: "First Man in Space, AD 1961". Nestled among markers of human milestones, it honours Gagarin's place in our shared journey — from ancient stargazers to modern explorers.
This is a quiet reminder that Gagarin's reach extends far beyond Earth's orbit — and even beyond the expected.
💐 Recently Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin and Russian Consul General in Edinburgh Denis Moskalenko laid flowers at the site, paying tribute to the first man in space.

Embassy comment on anti-Russian allegations by the British media
🤦 A tidal wave of hastily concocted fantasy stories about the so-called "Russian threat" has been sweeping the pages of the UK press.
This time the threat allegedly lurks in the sea depths off the British shores. The narrative blends a surreal medley of fables about Russian research vessels and "oligarchs’ superyachts" executing military tasks, endless tales of cybercriminals targeting the British Army, as well as speculations about mysterious robotic tentacles with which Moscow allegedly seeks to tamper with UK's underwater infrastructure.
This low-grade Jules Verne cosplay is crowned by the Daily Mail's call for Britons to start packing batteries, foodstuffs and Swiss Army knives to survive the imminent mass blackouts in the UK caused by Russian deep sea sabotage.
In this abyss of fabrication, the truth has gone under without a trace.
❗️ Russia has never posed a threat to the security of the UK or its people.
If they are imperiled by anything, it is by the British establishment's consistent policy of fostering confrontation with Russia, creating hotspots of tensions along Russian borders and exacerbating the military and political situation across Europe. Neither the dwindling public funds nor the nation's reputation have been spared for the sake of these ignoble and dangerous aims.
Yet again, with new baseless allegations London is making last-ditch effort to obstruct progress towards a negotiated resolution of the Ukraine conflict and suppress emerging positive signs in Russia-US relations.
☝️ The UK establishment persists in distracting attention from mounting socio-economic issues within the country. It is attempting to justify the increase in military spending amidst budgetary austerity.
Frankly, these orchestrated bursts of media alarmism, instigated by local intelligence services, have become quite repetitive.
