❗️📰 По голословному утверждению автора статьи в New York Times, ВС России заблокировали украинские порты, из которых на мировые рынки поставляется «значительная» часть пшеницы, ячменя, кукурузы и подсолнечного масла.
Нью-йоркская газета в очередной раз лжёт.
👉 Россия не устраивала «продовольственной блокады». Порты, пляжи и черноморская акватория заминированы ВСУ.
👉 Налицо намеренно завышенная в разы роль экспортируемых из Украины зерновых культур. В 2021-2022 гг. даже Минсельхоз США в своей официальной статистике (хотя и к ней есть вопросы) признавал, что на долю украинской пшеницы приходилось лишь 10% общемирового объёма, в то время как на российскую - 16%.

⚡️ The Russian Ministry of Defence continues to analyse the military and biological activities of the US and its allies in Ukraine and elsewhere in the world in the light of new information obtained in the liberated territories.
READ IN FULL
Key points
☣️ Work continues on the study of biological samples from Ukrainian soldiers who have voluntarily laid down their arms.
Particular attention should be paid to the discovery of narcotic drugs, including opioids such as methadone, codepsin, codeterp, as well as ephedrine-type substances: t-phedrine and tri-phedrine, at positions abandoned by Ukrainian military personnel.
A side effect of such addictive drugs is primarily excessive aggression, which explains the extreme cruelty towards civilians displayed by some Ukrainian servicemen, as well as the shelling of towns in Donbass.
☣️ A few weeks ago, during the special military operation, Rubezhnoye in Lugansk People's Republic was liberated. Documents have been found in the laboratory of the Pharmbiotest medical centre, confirming that research had been carried out in Ukraine for several years on behalf of the so-called Big Pharma.
☣️ We are considering the possibility that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was involved in the emergence of the new coronavirus. Since 2009, the agency has funded the Predict programme, which has investigated new species of coronaviruses by capturing bats that carry the viruses. One of the contractors for the project was Metabiota, a company known for its military-biological activities in Ukraine.
❗️ We see a clear trend: infectious disease agents that reach the Pentagon's zone of interest are subsequently pandemic, with US pharmaceutical companies and their patrons, the leaders of the US Democratic Party, as the beneficiaries.
☣️ US impunity has contributed to the continued use of bioweapons technology by Washington in Latin America, including the assassination of undesirable politicians.
On July 18, 2022, the President of the Republic of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, publicly declared the involvement of the United States in the assassination of former head of state Hugo Chávez.
According to information available to Venezuela, U.S. security services have been working since 2002 on possible ways to eliminate the Venezuelan leader, who has pursued an active anti-American policy. Numerous assassination attempts involving members of the US embassy in Caracas were uncovered and thwarted.
A causal link between the Venezuelan leader's death and the development of biological weapons is confirmed by forensic evidence and the testimony of Cuban doctors who treated Chavez about the atypical course of the disease and its resistance to the use of medicines.

🇷🇺🇺🇸Комментарий Посольства России в США по теме преступлений киевского режима:
🔹Обратили внимание, что исследование НПО Amnesty International от 4 августа по ситуации на Украине нашло широкое отражение в материалах информагентств США. В документе, в частности, отмечается: украинские военные подвергают мирных жителей смертельной опасности, оборудуя места дислокации и размещая вооружения на территории школ и больниц. Эксперты прямо указывают, что подобные действия являются нарушением международного гуманитарного права.
❗️Резонанс вокруг публикации доказывает: замалчивать правду становится все сложнее. Преступный киевский режим не испытывает никакого сочувствия к собственному населению. Задолго до начала спецоперации мы предупреждали мировую общественность о бесчеловечной сущности украинских властей.
‼️Надеемся, что исследование правозащитников поможет аудитории в Соединенных Штатах сделать правильные выводы. Боевики нацформирований убивают мирных жителей. В последние дни усилились обстрелы Донецка, в результате которых гибнут старики, женщины и дети.
🔹Звучащие же здесь обвинения о якобы совершении российскими Вооруженными Силами «военных преступлений» преследуют лишь одну цель - исказить истинное положение дел, очернить наши усилия по освобождению Украины от нацистов. Тем самым США стремятся оправдать собственные провокационные действия по накачке киевского режима смертоносными вооружениями, которые несут гибель и разрушения.

🇷🇺🇺🇸Комментарий Посольства России в США в связи с американскими заявлениями о незаконности приговора Б.Грайнер:
🔹Обратили внимание на заявления ряда официальных лиц США, а также общественных организаций с критикой решения российского суда приговорить американскую гражданку Б.Грайнер к 9 годам колонии за контрабанду и хранение наркотиков. Отмечаем передергивание фактов и искажение информации. Строго говоря, такие действия не удивляют и стали здесь обычной практикой.
🔹Тот факт, что американские власти легализовали употребление наркотиков остается внутренним делом США и не распространяется на законодательство других государств. В нашей же стране попытки нелегального ввоза наркотических средств уголовно наказуемы.
🔹Напомним, что на сегодняшний день в американских тюрьмах и следственных изоляторах находятся около ста росграждан. Большинство из них отбывают наказание за совершение ненасильственных преступлений. Более того, Вашингтоном развернута настоящая «охота» на россиян при их выезде за границу. С 2008 г. зафиксировано свыше 50 таких случаев.
🔹Граждане России, оказавшись в руках американской фемиды, как правило, подвергаются предвзятому отношению со стороны следственных органов и судов. Во многих случаях наших соотечественников склоняют к признанию вины и сделке со следствием, несмотря на надуманность обвинений, а в случае отказа приговаривают к значительным тюремным срокам.
🔹Призываем Соединенные Штаты перестать перекладывать проблемы с больной головы на здоровую. Решение в отношении Б.Грайнер, как и в случае с другими американскими правонарушителями, полностью соответствует букве и духу российского законодательства.

🇷🇺🇺🇸Comment by the Russian Embassy in the United States regarding the crimes of the Kiev regime:
🔹We have noted that the August 4 study by Amnesty International on the situation in Ukraine was given a widespread coverage in the materials of U.S. news agencies. The document, in particular, notes: the Ukrainian military put civilians in harm’s way by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in schools and hospitals. Experts directly point out that such actions violate International Humanitarian Law.
❗️A large response to the publication proves that it is becoming increasingly difficult to hush up the truth. The criminal Kiev regime has no sympathy at all for its own population. Long before the start of the special military operation, we had warned the world community about the inhuman nature of the Ukrainian authorities.
‼️We hope that the study of human rights activists will help the audience in the United States to come to the right conclusions. Militants of nationalist formations kill civilians. The shelling of Donetsk has intensified in recent days which results in deaths of old people, women and children.
🔹The accusations against the Russian Armed Forces of allegedly committing "war crimes" pursue only one goal - to distort the true state of affairs, to slander our efforts to liberate Ukraine from the Nazis. Thus, the United States strives to justify its own provocative actions to pump deadly weapons into the Kiev regime that leads to death and destruction.

🇷🇺🇺🇸Comment by the Russian Embassy in the United States in connection with US statements about the illegality of Brittney Griner's sentence:
🔹We paid attention to the statements of a number of US officials, as well as public organizations criticizing the decision of the Russian court to sentence an American citizen Brittney Griner to 9 years in a penal colony for drug smuggling and possession. We note the distortion of facts and information. Strictly speaking, such actions are not surprising and have become a common practice here.
🔹The fact that the American authorities have legalized drug use remains an internal matter of the United States and does not apply to the legislation of other states. In our country, attempts to illegally import narcotic drugs are criminally punishable.
🔹We would like to remind that currently there are about a hundred Russian citizens in American prisons and pre-trial detention centers. Most of them are serving sentences for nonviolent crimes. Moreover, Washington has launched a real "hunt" for Russians when they go abroad. Since 2008, more than 50 such cases have been recorded.
🔹Citizens of Russia, once in the hands of the American Themis, as a rule, are subjected to a biased attitude on the part of investigative authorities and courts. In many cases, our compatriots are persuaded to admit guilt and make a deal with the investigation, despite the far-fetched accusations, and in case of refusal, they are sentenced to significant prison terms.
🔹We call on the United States to stop shifting problems from a sick head to a healthy one. The decision regarding Brittney Griner, as in the case of other American offenders, fully complies with the letter and spirit of Russian legislation.

☝️Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answer to a media question on the sidelines of ASEAN ministerial meetings, Phnom Penh, August 5, 2022
❓: John Kirby said yesterday that Secretary of State Antony Blinken would try to “buttonhole” you on the sidelines of ASEAN in order to discuss with you Brittney Greiner’s case, as well as the prisoner exchange. Did Mr. Blinken somehow manage to interact with you here? Are you ready in principle to discuss the subject of the prisoner exchange with U.S. Secretary of State in the future?
💬Sergey Lavrov: John Kirby, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, must have forgotten to give Antony Blinken an instruction. Today I sat “the next but one” with Secretary of State at the discussion table. I did not see that he was interested in grabbing me by something. The buttons are all safe and sound.
🔹I have already had the opportunity to speak on the specific topic of people convicted in Russia and the United States. There is a special channel agreed by the Presidents. Whoever says anything in public, that channel remains relevant. It’s up to Americans if they again decide to resort to public diplomacy with loud statements about what steps they are going to take now. I would even say that it is their problem, since Americans frequently do not keep to the agreements on calm professional work not only on this particular topic, but also on many other issues. This is my answer.
❗️We are ready to discuss this problem, but within the framework of the channel that was agreed upon by Vladimir Putin, the President of the Russian Federation, and Joe Biden, the President of the United States.
