Key points

🔹 The report published by the Russian Ministry of Defence today clearly proves that Washington, in close coordination with its NATO partners, has reached the final stage of setting up provocations in Ukraine aimed at convincing the international community that “Russia has been using weapons-grade poisonous substances and biological agents.”

🔹 Their rationale is obvious: the shocking details of the illegal cooperation between the United States and the Ukrainian administration which still remains in power in making bacteriological weapons have been revealed to the world. The realisation that their criminal activities would inevitably be exposed was so patently clear that Washington began to prepare in advance:

👉 Shaped public opinion
👉 Picked the contractors
👉 Worked to influence international organisations

🔹 The Americans and their partners in Europe take no notice of the fact that Russia has had no chemical weapons at all for five years – since September 27, 2017, and this has been verified by the OPCW. The Ukrainians, aided by NATO specialists, are to remedy this flaw in the American plans crudely enough: just as corrupt police officers plant a weapon with prints on an innocent suspect, Washington and Kiev are going to plant chemical weapons at the Russian Armed Forces’ positions in Ukraine.

👉 This is more than serious. Clearly, the original US plan was to step up economic pressure on Russia to make it reconsider its legitimate security interests. That didn’t work. Now the US is going to use WMD; in fact, this is a game that crosses the red line. If this happens, the number of victims will be incalculable. Each of them will be on the conscience of the American strategists sitting in the White House, the State Department and the Pentagon, and on the conscience of their puppets in Kiev, if they still have any left.

Russian President Vladimir Putin greeted Orthodox Christians and all Russians celebrating Easter Sunday ☦️

💬 President Vladimir #Putin: This Feast of feasts, Easter brings Orthodox Christians and all Russians celebrating Easter Sunday together around high moral ideals and values, inspiring the best in people, as well as belief in the triumph of life, goodness and justice.

It is important that we note the creative, positive and fruitful efforts by the Russian Orthodox Church and other Christian denominations to preserve our rich historical, cultural and spiritual traditions, as well as to promote family values and educate the younger generation. Of course, Christian organisations deserve special credit for their community service and charity undertakings, and their commitment to helping those in need of care and support in these challenging times.

En entrevista exclusiva con Prensa Latina, Andrei Guskov, embajador ruso en Cuba, destacó que las restricciones unilaterales occidentales afectan a la economía mundial, incluida la colaboración económico-comercial con países latinoamericanos y caribeños.

Al referirse a la operación militar anunciada el pasado 24 de febrero por el presidente Vladimir Putin en Ucrania, constató que se trataba de proteger a los habitantes de Donbás, objeto de abusos y genocidio por parte de Kiev durante ocho años.

No fuimos nosotros quienes empezamos la guerra en Donbás, pero nosotros le pondremos fin, aseguró.

Durante muchos años, Occidente trató de crear una especie de “anti-Rusia” en Ucrania, puesta bajo completo control externo, colonizada intensamente por fuerzas armadas de la Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte e inundada con los más modernos armamentos, denunció.

#Opinion by Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova

Nuclear DisInfo (Read in full)

Mechanisms for information attacks with a new thesis that target the public space have been launched in the West at the highest level in a transboundary and trans-format manner. The premise is primitive and completely horrifying: the Russians are threatening a nuclear war, and the Russians are waving the nuclear stick.

⁉️ Do I even need to say that this thesis is absolutely incorrect and false? Apparently, I do.

They are pushing this exact thesis because it plays on basic human fears, the experience of the older generation, which throughout the second half of the 20th century was bracing for the Third World War against global communism, and Western youth, for which their respective governments have come up with a new mechanism called “cancel culture” (cancelling everything Russian this time). Moreover, the West absolutely does not care what Moscow really says, and the meaning of words is distorted and outwardly perverted.

Let’s consider the specifics.

Two days ago, in his answer to a question by Dimitri Simes during an interview, Sergey Lavrov said literally the following 👉 full quote

What are the takeaways?

1. It was Russia that, with great difficulty, convinced the United States during lengthy talks to reaffirm the Gorbachev-Reagan formula that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.

2. It was Russia that persuaded the group of five nuclear nations to adopt a statement with the same content.

3. There are risks; they should not be blown out of proportion or underestimated.

We did everything possible to prevent a nuclear war, to create all the necessary obstacles on the way to slipping into this scenario (fortunately, they justified themselves during the Cold War and are working today), because we understand the real risks and threats posed by irresponsible behaviour in this area. We cannot allow the very thought of a nuclear war.

Now acting in the worst traditions of disinformation, Western officials are feeding the media, in a coordinated effort, fake news about Moscow’s alleged nuclear threats. The foreign ministries from the NATO countries started convincing the people in their countries that the Russians were “rattling their weapons.”

<...>

Notice how clumsy this was in terms of media work. First, all the put-up quotes against our country were repeated by the journalist, and then they were again mentioned by Ned Price. A presentation designed for a not too sophisticated public. No one even paid attention to what the Foreign Minister said about the risks and Russia’s attempts to prevent the unthinkable.

It’s unthinkable to us, but, mindful of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it is, unfortunately, possible for our colleagues from overseas.

The next day, the media started mass brainwashing. The British tabloids (the Daily Mail and others) and the high-quality analytical US press, French television and German tabloid magazines started talking with one voice that Moscow was threatening with a Third World Nuclear War. And this was already being discussed in Europe; French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said that the Russian Foreign Minister’s words were the “rhetoric of intimidation.”

I would like to ask this Frenchman whether he at least saw what Sergey Lavrov said? We have translated the interview.

Our country is against any nuclear war, and this is exactly what the Russian Minister said, and this is what guides our diplomacy in its work.

Could it be that the Western capitals read the interviews as presented by the Western media? This is the only thing that can justify their words. To avoid that, one should simply DON'T turn off alternative sources of information, and listen to what Russia has to say close to the original text, rather than as interpreted by your media under NATO guidelines.

❗️El Ejército ucraniano lanza un ataque de artillería a una localidad de la República Popular de Lugansk

💬 Canciller Serguéi Lavrov: EEUU, como todos los demás países que se jactan de ser democracias perfectas, ha firmado y ratificado la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, cuyo principio clave es la igualdad soberana de los Estados.

La Carta no dice que las democracias deban tener más derechos que las autocracias, dictaduras o monarquías. No dice que haya distinción alguna en cuanto a los derechos que disfrutan los miembros de la ONU.

☝️ Ahora EEUU y otros países occidentales intentan devaluar el derecho a veto a través de la entrega de las prerrogativas del Consejo de Seguridad a la Asamblea General.

En este órgano de la ONU dichos países pueden alcanzar la mayoría de votos con chantajes y amenazas a las delegaciones participantes, lo que crea una tendencia peligrosa.
