🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC debate "Promotion and strengthening of the rule of law in the maintenance of international peace and security: the rule of law among nations"

💬 When raising the issue of rule of law, our former Western partners only seek to promote the point about Russia’s alleged responsibility for the emerging threats to international peace and security. While doing this, they dismiss the blatant violations of their own.

Of course, we cannot agree to this narrative, which completely fits into the “rules-based order” concept, where the rules are dictated by the West. This narrative is simply false and contrary to the norms of the international law, including the UN Charter.

❗️ The real causes of the Ukrainian crisis are the arrogance of the West and its absolute unwillingness to take into account the interests of others, even when it comes to such crucial aspects as security of a state.

The collective West blatantly violated the international law and the legal order based on the rule of this law, once NATO air-dropped first bombs on Yugoslavia.

Then there was the “war on terror” which led to the devastation and many years of occupation of Afghanistan.

Everyone remembers NATO’s false-flag aggression against Iraq, which they explained by Iraq’s allegedly possession of WMDs.

Then came Libya, where the same concept of “humanitarian intervention” was used, but under a different name. This time it was “responsibility to protect”.

Next one on the list of states who suffered from the “rule of law American style” is Syria.

👉 The manmade Ukrainian crisis that I mentioned earlier fits perfectly well in this chain of events that were caused by colonial thinking and hegemony of the West. Everyone who looks at it without bias can clearly see that Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine is a consequence rather than the root cause of the Ukrainian crisis, which is at least 9 years old.

🎞 Russian "Cheburashka" movie bypassed Avatar (2009) in box office to become the highest-grossing film in the history of Russian film distribution yielding more than 3.5 billion rubles (around $52 million).

🔙 "Cheburashka" is a monkey-like creature, who, according to the story, written by Eduard Uspensky, was found by a shop-keeper in the box with oranges. He appears to be almost a folk character for several generations, especially those, who grew up in the Soviet Union.

🎞️"चेर्बुरश्का" ने फीस के मामले में पहले "अवतार" को दरकिनार कर दिया और रूसी वितरण के इतिहास में सबसे ज्यादा कमाई करने वाली फिल्म बन गई (3.5 अरब से अधिक रूबल)

🔙 "चेबुरश्का" एक बंदर जैसा प्राणी है, जो एडुअर्ड उसपेन्स्की द्वारा लिखित कहानी के अनुसार, एक दुकानदार को संतरे के डिब्बे में मिला था। वह कई पीढ़ियों के लिए लगभग एक लोक चरित्र प्रतीत होता है, विशेषकर उन लोगों के लिए जो सोवियत संघ में पले-बढ़े हैं।

⚡️ Emergency statement by Joint Coordination Headquarters of Russian Federation for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine

◽️ The Security Service of Ukraine is preparing for a large-scale provocation in the next few days to discredit Russia's activity within the 'grain deal', and to accuse of creating 'shortage of food' in Ukraine.

◽️ In Karaichnoye (Kharkov region), the Ukrainian intelligence service is planting mines in a granary. After its explosion, the Russian Federation will be accused of the allegedly 'intentional elimination of grain stocks in Ukraine', 'sparking starvation', and therefore 'disrupting the grain deal'. Western media will present this incident as 'another atrocity committed by Russian forces' that requires a 'harsh response of the international community'.

◽️ A group of up to 30 Ukrainian professionals in explosives and employees of the Security Service of Ukraine arrived to Volchansk (Kharkov region) for preparing the sabotage.

◽️ The granary is owned by V. Uvarov, a non-staff employee of the Security Service of Ukraine. There are also identification data for A. Tkachuk, the chief of the group, and all of its members as well as their current location: in the military commissariat of Volchansk (Dukhovnaya st., 29).

◽️ In the wake of Ukrainian army's failures, and on the eve of the meeting of the NATO defence ministers in Ramstein (Germany) on 20 January, these resounding provocations are used by Kiev authorities to put more pressure on the opinion of Western countries for achieving large-scale supplies of modern armaments and hardware for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

❗️Kremlin Reacts To Blast At Residential Building In Ukraine

Ukraine is to blame for the deadly blast at a residential building in the city of Dnepr on Saturday that killed dozens of people and even some Kiev officials have said so, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

“The Russian Armed Forces don’t target residential buildings or social infrastructure facilities. The attacks are only aimed at military targets,” Peskov told journalists.

“You’ve seen the conclusions of the representatives of the Ukrainian side, which say that this tragedy was the result of the actions of the air defense missiles,” he pointed out.

According to the latest data from the Ukrainian Emergencies Services, at least 36 people were killed and 75 others in the explosion, which delivered heavy damage to the building.
