🎞 79-80 years ago, in 1944-45, people in Europe cheered at the Red Army who liberated them from Nazism and the worst horrors imaginable, sacrificing for the freedom of all with their own lives.

Today, their ungrateful descendants led by immoral politicians desecrate monuments to the Soviet liberators.

But #WeRemember.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with Marina Kim for the New World project (Moscow, November 14, 2024)

Key talking points:

#InternationalAffairs

• Our main task now is to achieve all the goals formulated by President Vladimir Putin. You are aware of the West’s expectations. They are speculating about stopping the hostilities at a certain line and coordinating a truce, so that 10 years from now they will decide who Crimea and Donbass belong to. This is coffee cup reading. I won’t engage in it. We have our tasks, and we will fulfil them.

• Our job is to assert and promote Russia’s interests in keeping with its Constitution as well as the objectives defined by President Vladimir Putin. This goes beyond Ukraine and applies to Russia’s Foreign Policy Concept in general.

#USA

• Washington can’t allow Russia to prove that it is a strong player and undermine the West’s reputation. They don’t care about Ukraine. They only care about their reputation. They decided that Ukraine should have a government they like and didn’t expect anyone to protest. Russia? It’s a big country but it must be brought down a peg. That is what this is about rather than the future of the Ukrainian people. They don’t care about people.

• Sanctions have been imposed on over half of the world’s countries, even if they are not as drastic as those that have been adopted against Russia, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Iran and Venezuela. The real reason behind the West’s current rage is that China is rapidly and confidently surging ahead of the United States.

• We can see through what the Americans want. Sitting somewhere overseas, they believe that they are beyond the reach, while leaving it to Europe to overcome the challenges they face in terms of encouraging and arming Ukraine to fight Russia, as well as footing the bill for the Middle East tragedy.

#Eurasia4You

• God gave us one continent, and we share it. This continent possesses immense and, in fact, the biggest natural resources, while several millennia-old civilisations inhabit it. Failing to benefit from these competitive advantages would be a mistake. This is what the idea of building a Greater Eurasian Partnership is all about, and the EAEU, SCO and ASEAN have already taken the first steps in this direction. We are establishing ties and promoting dialogue. If we succeed in fulfilling the plans we have, the Greater Eurasian Partnership will offer a solid foundation and serve as an economic and transport backbone for what President Vladimir Putin called a new Eurasian security architecture.

• There is a clear understanding that the Eurasian security architecture, just like the Greater Eurasian Partnership, must be open to all countries and continents, including Eurasia’s western part, even if so far the latter has been trying, as if by inertia, to ensure its interests within a Euro-Atlantic security concept instead of opting for the Eurasian framework, which would be natural and reasonable, considering the geography factor. This is their way of saying that they do not intend to do anything without the United States.

#BRICS

🌐 BRICS is about the new world order that is based on the main principle of the UN Charter – the sovereign equality of states.

• BRICS has no intention of dividing the world. It wants to bring together countries that desire closer relations so that they can live on the land they got from God and their ancestors just as they used to, as great civilisations.

#Africa

🌍 Decolonisation has taken place, in a broad sense. But being able to actually manage one’s freedom and resources is a different story. This is where neo-colonialism comes to the fore.

• The First Ministerial Conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum in Sochi, and the Russia-Africa Summit in St Petersburg in 2023 clearly put into perspective the trends that could be called Africa’s second awakening.

#KievRegimeCrimes

Maxim Grigoryev, Сhairman of the International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian neo-Nazis, continues to document witness accounts and evidence of the war crimes perpetrated by the Kiev regime.

⚡️ Horrific account of neo-Nazi Azov Battalion's atrocities and cases of medieval-like tortures suffered and witnessed by one of the Russian POWs (call-sign 'Lutiy'):

💬 "[Ukrainian neo-Nazis] took me to the basement. 29 Russian soldiers spent two weeks there. All the time we sat with our hands and legs tied, blindfolded, naked on the concrete floor. It was very cold. <...>

There was one Russian soldier who told the captors that he was mobilised. The neo-Nazis from Azov battalion found out that he was in fact a volunteer. They came, started electrocuting him for 30 minutes. He was screaming. Then they cut his toes and fingers off. All of it was done gradually. He was screaming horribly. Then they pushed him out of the room and he never came back. He was murdered because they couldn't bring someone in such shape for POW exchange. <...>

The other one was beaten severely for two hours. Then they started cutting out shapes on his body. He was flayed on his right and left side. All of it was done meticulously so that he could feel everything. But he kept it together, never once screamed. They brought us to him to scare us of what was to come. They presumed he was dead. All of a sudden he came to his senses and they just bludgeoned him to death. <...>

They just tortured us for their own pleasure. <...> They beat me with sticks, batons. I was beaten on my knees. <...> My knees are severely damaged. I no longer have teeth. <...> They beat us three or four or five times a day, and after 10 pm six or seven drunken men would start beating everyone until 6 am <...>

They starved us, deprived us of sleep. Gave us bits of water. A Ukrainian nurse came and made our captors give us some scraps of food. <...> The next day she returned drunk, and watched us getting beat. She injected some of our soldiers with anesthetic and antishock medication so that we didn't pass out and could feel everything. <...>

Some started to hallucinate, imagining that they need to go to a convenience store to buy pastries, for example. They didn't realise any longer what was going on. A lot of our soldiers went mad. <...>

The Azov battalion ought to be completely destroyed."

#NATO #Ukraine

We have noted that the British press is reporting on the intentions of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron to persuade the incumbent US President Joe Biden to allow Kiev to launch Storm Shadow cruise missiles deep inside Russia's territory before Donald Trump’s inauguration. According to the media, London hopes that the White House will finally approve this step.

We would like to remind Washington, London, Paris and Brussels that they continue to play with fire. President of Russia Vladimir Putin has clearly outlined our response: if Ukraine receives permission to launch such strikes, it would indicate that NATO countries have effectively entered into a direct armed conflict with Russia. This would fundamentally alter the nature and essence of the conflict, with all the ensuing consequences.

❗️ If they use long-range Western systems against the territory of our country, they will face an inevitable and devastating response.

#WhiteHelmets

On October 25, 2024, the UK’s Foreign Office marked the tenth anniversary of the White Helmets NGO by issuing a lengthy statement commending this entity, which is still viewed as a humanitarian organisation in the West. Apart from London, several other sponsors signed this paper: Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Qatar and the United States.

And this is happening after everything the White Helmets did in Syria. They used the suffering of the people of Syria as a cheap, albeit bloody, publicity stunt and made working with terrorists their hallmark. London is not even trying to conceal its support for these undercover fighters and has commended the “tremendous efforts and courage” of this “humanitarian organisation.”

The White Helmets remain a major destabilising factor in Syria. Their removal from the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, termination of their activities and exposure of their past crimes are essential for achieving stability in Syria, a country which has suffered so much, and across the region.

#UNESCO #KievRegimeCrimes

The UNESCO Secretariat and in particular Director-General Audrey Azoulay herself continue to openly disregard the Kiev regime’s crimes committed against Russian journalists, including premeditated murders, terrorist attacks and assassination attempts.

We are outraged by the draft report of the UNESCO Director-General, which will be submitted to the Intergovernmental Council of the International Programme for the Development of Communication (IPDC), which will convene in Paris on November 21-22 <...>.

The report is based on “information” provided by politically biased pro-Western NGOs and does not mention the murder of Russian journalists.
