⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement in connection with the Russian Federation suspending the Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (#NewSTART)
❗️ The Russian Federation found itself in a radically new security environment resulting from Washington’s extreme hostility and efforts to stir up confrontation, as well as its overt commitment to promoting a malicious escalation of the conflict in and around Ukraine.
The United States is now openly seeking to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia, while tensions encouraged by Washington go far beyond the Ukraine crisis with the United States and the US-led West trying to harm our country at every possible level, in every sphere and region of the world.
There is every reason to argue that the United States policy aims to undermine Russia’s national security, which directly contradicts the fundamental principles and understandings set forth in the New START’s preamble and forming its foundation. It would not have been signed without stating these principles.
This de facto amounts to a fundamental change of circumstances compared to those prevailing at the time of signing the New START Treaty.
In this situation, it is no longer possible to maintain business as usual with the United States and the West in general, both as a matter of principle and regarding arms control, which is inseparable from the geopolitical, military and strategic reality.
<...>
⚠️ The fact that Western countries coalesced around the anti-Russia agenda increasingly impacts their nuclear policy, which constitutes a serious shift in the security landscape. In particular, NATO members have been carrying out the so-called Joint Nuclear Operations for decades, and designated the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation as a “nuclear alliance” at a certain point, while also placing a bigger emphasis on nuclear weapons in NATO’s conceptual documents and stating their commitment to further strengthening and improving the combat readiness of the relevant capabilities that are under NATO control.
<...>
Taking all these circumstances into account, Russia has come to the conclusion that the United States has seriously violated the New START Treaty and that this violation is of fundamental importance for the realisation of the treaty’s objective and goals.
The decision to suspend the New START Treaty can be reversed if Washington demonstrates the political will and takes honest efforts towards general de-escalation and the creation of conditions for resuming the comprehensive operation of the treaty and, consequently, its survival. This is exactly what we urge the American party to do.
☝️ Until then, any steps to accommodate Washington with regard to New START are absolutely out of the question.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on threats to international peace and security (sabotage of Nord Stream gas pipeline), 21 February 2023
☝️ Proceeding from facts and testimonies by eyewitnesses, he convincingly proves that during NATO’s BALTOPS exercise in summer 2022, divers from US Navy planted explosives under the pipes, which were detonated by the Norwegians three months later, on 26 September 2022.
His previous professional expertise and uncompromising integrity leave us no doubt that this American journalist is telling the truth.
<...>
❗️ We have got accustomed to the fact that our American colleagues position themselves above the law or rather pretend that they are the law, which they think gives them the right to interfere in internal affairs of states without retribution, carry out anti-constitutional coups, take aggressive action against independent states (I remind that by estimates of the US Congressional Research Service, since the end of the Cold War, the US has used its armed forces abroad on 251 occasions), kill and torture peaceful population in third countries while refusing to commit the perpetrators to international justice.
<...>
With the Nord Stream sabotage, neither the motive of the crime nor the perpetrators or the method raise any doubts.
<...>
⚠️ Investigations by Scandinavian states and Germany not only lack transparency, but, and this has become obvious by now, are aimed at covering up the tracks and exculpating the big American brother. We are not allowed to partake, and all our requests are ignored with arrogance.

🎙 Comment by Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the adoption of a UN General Assembly resolution entitled, Principles of the Charter of the United Nations Underlying a Comprehensive, Just and Lasting Peace in Ukraine
Read in full
A resolution entitled, Principles of the Charter of the United Nations Underlying a Comprehensive, Just and Lasting Peace in Ukraine, was adopted by a vote during the resumed 11th emergency special session of the UN General Assembly on February 23.
The Western authors of yet another anti-Russia initiative hypocritically hid behind their commitment to the UN Charter in trying to condemn the measures adopted by Russia to resolve the situation as part of the special military operation. The proposed document contained none of the basic approaches to achieving a stable peace like dialogue, a call for the absence of any pre-conditions in talks or the unacceptability of supplying arms to a conflict zone. The corresponding unifying amendments proposed by our Belarusian friends were blocked by the Western countries.
Thus, the essence of the initiative is to continue the groundless criticism of Russia unleashed in the West and to support a criminal nationalist regime in Kiev, which the collective West intentionally prepared for war against our country over the past several years. During the promotion of this effort, the United States and their satellites used their favourite methods of influence on any dissenting country, including blackmail and the threat of sanctions. <...>
This advisory resolution did not enjoy greater support than the previous documents at the 11th emergency special session of the UN General Assembly.
Many countries were against the proposed resolution. Dozens of countries abstained including China, India and South Africa. We are grateful to our partners for this support.
❗️ The Russian side will continue its effort to promote the development of a just evaluation of the situation in Ukraine and around it while defending the national security and identity of our country, and the necessity of complying with the principles of the UN Charter including the sovereign equality of states.

Key talking points
🔸 for all phrases to contain the word “peace” that high-ranking Ukrainian and Western officials cunningly said even in this meeting, implied something completely different from peace, namely a capitulation of Russia and inflicting a strategic defeat on our country.
🔸 You and your other colleagues deny the universal human rights and freedoms of Russian-speaking Ukrainians, if you believe that the Kiev authorities who attacked them were a victim, and if you keep silent about a campaign of terror that was unleashed against them.
🔸 Cessation of hostilities in Ukraine is something that only collective West is not interested in. As we all know now, the West did not let the Kiev regime make peace in April-May last year. Our Western colleagues are okay with things as they are: Russians and Ukrainians killing each other, Western defense industries reaping fantastic profits and getting a site to test new weapons, NATO getting rid of old weapons and rearming gradually. In addition to this, Washington is weakening its European competitors who demonstrate an unprecedented degree of subservience and impotence. Most importantly, the West eagerly rubs its hands hoping to preserve, by means of weakening Russia and threatening China, its global monopoly.
🔸 A resolution to this conflict is inseparable from issues related to an equitable and indivisible Euro-Atlantic security architecture. Now it exists only for the US and its allies in NATO.
🔸 The collective West must accept the fact that there are other actors on the planet who have own interests, and that they must co-exist with those actors and can as well cooperate with them to mutual benefit on an equal and respectful basis.
