Key statements from 🇷🇺 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the World Online Conference on Multipolarity:

🔹 We see how new-world centres, primarily in Eurasia, the Indo-Pacific, Middle East, Africa and Latin America demonstrate impressive results in various areas.

🔹 Over the past three decades, the share of the G7 states in the world economy has shortened significantly. Conversely, the share of developing countries is growing continuously.

🔹 We are witnessing a shake-up in international relations - a bright example of multipolar diplomacy is the activity of such new multilateral associations as the SCO and BRICS.

🔹 The efforts of Washington and its satellites to reverse the course of history - to force the international community to live according to its invented “rule-based order” - are failing.

🔹 In today's multipolar world, the only reasonable alternative to confrontation is for world centres to unite their efforts on the principles of the UN Charter.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's video address to the participants and organisers of the World Online Conference on Multipolarity (Moscow, April 29, 2023)

Key talking points:

🌐 Today, the movement towards global multipolarity is a fact, a geopolitical reality.

☝️ We see new global centres, primarily in Eurasia, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, grow and achieve impressive success in various fields relying on their independence, state sovereignty and cultural and civilisational identity.

• We are witnessing the continued transformation of the structure of international relations. A striking example of multipolar diplomacy is the work of multilateral associations of a new type such as the SCO and BRICS.

❗️ It makes perfect sense that Washington and its satellites’ efforts to reverse the course of history and make the international community live according to the “rules-based order” they invented are failing. I will mention only one of them, the Westerners’ policy to isolate Russia.

• In today's multipolar world, in the face of cross-border challenges and threats, the only reasonable alternative to confrontation (those who initiate confrontations will lose, too) is to combine the efforts of key global centres on the principles of the UN Charter, including respect for the sovereign equality of states ensured in practice. Everyone needs to recognise the irreversibility of the emergence of a more equitable polycentric international system.

🇷🇺 Russia remains at the forefront of international efforts to strengthen the multipolar, legal and democratic principles of interstate communication. <...> We will certainly continue to closely coordinate our steps with our numerous friends, allies and countries that share our views, including our partners in the #CSTO, the #EAEU, the #CIS, #BRICS, the #SCO and other regional associations of the developing world.

बहुध्रुवीयता पर विश्व ऑनलाइन सम्मेलन के मौके पर रूसी विदेश मंत्री सेर्गेई लवरोव के मुख्य बयान:

🔹 हम नए विश्व केंद्र, विशेषतः यूरेशिया, इंडो-पैसिफिक, मध्य पूर्व, अफ्रीका और लैटिन अमेरिका के विभिन्न क्षेत्रों में बहुतायत उपलब्धियों की संभावनाओं को देखते हैं।

🔹 पिछले तीन दशकों में वैश्विक अर्थव्यवस्था में G7 देशों के हिस्से में बड़ा घटाव हुआ है और उभरते हुए बाजारों वाले देशों का हिस्सा लगातार बढ़ता जा रहा है।

🔹 हम अंतर्राष्ट्रीय संबंधों की संरचना का नवीनीकरण देख रहे हैं। BRICS और SCO जैसे नए तरीके के बहुपक्षीय गठबंधन बहुध्रुवीय कूटनीति का एक अच्छा नमूना हैं।

🔹 वाशिंगटन और उसके सहयोगियों के इतिहास के पाठ्यक्रम को उलटने और अंतरराष्ट्रीय समुदाय को आविष्कृत "नियम-आधारित व्यवस्था" के अनुसार जीने पर विवश करने के प्रयास विफल हो रहे हैं।

🔹 आज की बहुध्रुवीय दुनिया में, टकराव का एकमात्र उचित विकल्प संयुक्त राष्ट्र चार्टर के सिद्धांतों पर प्रमुख विश्व केंद्रों के प्रयासों का एकीकरण है, जिसमें राज्यों की संप्रभु समानता के लिए सम्मान सुनिश्चित करना लागू करना विद्यमान हो।

😵 The Indian community was deeply insulted after the Ukrainian Defense Ministry posted a blasphemous picture of Hindu Goddess Kali

❓The department deleted the post from the official page but the “work of art” - as they called it - already went viral. What's more, no official comment followed the insulting post.

Indian journalist Shubhangi Sharma wrote on her Twitter: “This centuries-old obsession with disparaging Goddess Kali Ma continues to run deep in the West. It’s replete with ignorance and bigotry and no matter how woke the new generations get, some malicious fixations will remain deeply entrenched forever”.

Another tweet by an Indian media outlet also said that the Ukrainian officials posted a highly insulting and hateful content portraying Hindu Godess Kali.

🇸🇾 2016 became a turning point in the years-long "Battle for Aleppo". By August 2016, the Syrian government forces managed to encircle the country's largest city and begin its siege. The fate of the terrorist groups trapped within its walls was sealed, and the final liberation of Aleppo - a matter of time.
 
📸 Out of nowhere, on August 17, 2016, gruesome photos of Omran Daqneesh, a 5-year-old bloodied boy from Aleppo who suffered from hostilities, began circling the world. The Western media rushed to churn out eerie headlines ("The Silent Prophet", "The Price of Cruelty", "The Face of War") and blame the incident on the Russian Aerospace Forces, which allegedly carried out an airstrike on the residential quarter of the city. Omran Daqneesh gained world fame in just a few days and became the symbol of "the suffering of the Syrian civilians caused by the Bashar al-Assad's regime". On October 12, 2016, during an interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour showed the photo of Omran to the Minister and called the incident “a war crime".
 
✅ The Syrian government forces liberated Aleppo in December 2016. In June 2017, the world finally learned the truth about Omran Daqneesh from the boy himself and his family. The boy's father finally talked to journalists, admitting that there were no air raids on August 17, and his son was taken away by the odious "White Helmets" for a lengthy photo shoot.
 
🤷🏻 In the summer of 2017, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova encouraged journalists to travel to Syria and interview Omran and his family for the sake of "honest coverage of events". Alas, back then CNN and other Western media outlets had a "more important" task at hand - to hype up the #RussiaGate hoax.

📄 Excerpts from the Report of the Russian Foreign Ministry "Human rights situation in Ukraine" (2023):

Perpetuating the memory of the Nazis at the legislative level

⚠️ Including decisions on celebrating memorable dates and anniversaries of Ukrainian Nazi collaborators in the resolutions that are adopted annually by the Verkhovnaya Rada of Ukraine is among notable manifestations of Kiev’s state policy to “preserve national memory”.

❗️ In addition, in 2018, the Verkhovnaya Rada approved the slogan of the OUN nationalists “Glory to Ukraine! Glory to heroes!” which is a copy of the infamous Nazi salute, for use as a salute in the army and law enforcement agencies.

The anniversaries of the following Nazi collaborators were put on the calendar of memorable dates and anniversaries:

- Vladimir Kubiyovich – initiator of the SS Galicia Division;
- Ivan Poltavets-Ostryanitsa - participant of massacres of Jews;
- Vasiliy Levkovich - commander of the Bug Military District as part of the UPA;
- Ulas Samchuk - published anti-Semitic articles calling for killing Jews;
- Vasiliy Sidor - participant of punitive operations;
- Andrey Melnik - organiser of mass killings of Jews;
- Alexander Vyshnivskiy - organiser of the SS Galicia Division;
- Yaroslav Starukh - organiser of Jewish pogroms;
- Vasiliy Galas - one of OUN leaders, organiser of Jewish pogroms.

The Ministry of Education and Science has been instructed to conduct lessons and awareness raising events. Commemorative coins and postage stamps in honour of these individuals will be issued.

👎 The Verkhovnaya Rada adopted a resolution on celebrating memorable dates and anniversaries, included the 80th anniversary of the creation of the UPA and the 110th anniversary of Stepan Bandera’s ally Yaroslav Stetsko, 130th anniversary of SS Galicia Division member Porfiriy Silenko-Kravets and 130th anniversary of Yury Polyanskiy, who was the burgomaster of Lvov under the Nazis and was directly involved in the killings of Jews and Poles.
