There are no prospects for ending this bloodshed. PM #Netanyahu repeatedly responded to calls for ceasefire that he will not stop until Hamas is destroyed completely. In my opinion, and many of my colleagues, it's unrealistic to completely destroy existing organization that has sufficient capabilities and support, including in Islamic world

We condemn #Hamas terrorist attack on Israeli civilians on October 7 last year. But #Israel's response is unacceptable. It's collective punishment of people, which is banned by international conventions - #Lavrov donning traditional Malaysian batik shirt in video above.

They [#Southeast Asian countries] see us as balancing and stabilizing factor standing up to extra-regional countries headed by U.S, pushing their military infrastructure. They are pushing for militarization of East Asia and Asian Pacific, introducing nuclear deterrence elements as part of AUKUS. #Washington made agreement with South #Korea on joint nuclear deterrence

If this rather risky project [deployment of U.S. nuclear weapons] is brought to Southeast Asia, no one will benefit and risks will only increase - Lavrov stresses.

We are noting statements about plans to deploy long-range weapons in #Germany by 2026, time to target our locations will be about 10 minutes, these missiles may be bearing nuclear warheads

If these plans are put into action, we will consider ourselves free from moratorium we took upon ourselves on deployment of small and intermediate range missiles. We're seeing similar systems being developed, we will ensure mirror action is taken to deploy similar systems to counter actions by U.S. and satellites in Europe and other parts of the world - #Putin.

Russia doesn’t care who will lead the U.S, Trump or Harris, nothing changes for the better for Russia

Talk about possibility of negotiations with Moscow is tactical ploy by Kiev and West, looking for a break, since Russia has advantage in Special Operation, and in fact, Kiev's regime is not doing anything real for negotiations - Patrushev adds.
