We often talk about European values, but I believe the most important value which is inherently European, is life itself. The most important thing we can do is to save lives. Christmas is near. I see no reason why at least for 2 or 3 days during Orthodox Christmas, we shouldn't avoid losing human lives on the front lines. I see no reason why parties involved could not agree to exchange a few hundred prisoners, 700 from each side - Orban.

Putin spoke with Viktor Orban. Putin supported Hungarian PM's peace efforts, but these efforts were rejected by Ukrainian side, namely by Zelensky. This is the situation - Kremlin spox on 16th December.

Kiev taking out its impotent anger for tangible military defeats on civilian population of Russia . Attack on capital of Tatarstan also revenge for successful BRICS summit in October that demonstrated power and influence of this association in the world, as well as an attempt to intimidate population of one of dynamically developing regions of our country

It's no coincidence all Ukrainian media with sadistic pleasure post footage from Kazan, accompanying them with obscene verbal exhausts. This is inhuman essence of regime of expired president

We're outraged by hypocritical silence of collective West and its mass media, which immediately react to any sortie of extremists and especially terrorist attacks in different parts of the world, but in case of Russia pretend nothing is happening

We strongly urge international community to give harsh assessment of criminal acts of Zelensky’s junta. Terrorism has no justification. It can't be ignored. It deserves condemnation and zero tolerance - Zakharova (pictured).
