🇷🇺🇺🇳 Permament Mission of the Russian Federation to the UN:

🎙 Statement by First Deputy Permanent Representative Dmitry Polyanskiy at UNSC briefing on Ukraine (17 July, 2023)

Read in full

💬 When 9 years ago the Kiev regime unleashed a deadly war against the Russian-speaking population of Donbass, it purposefully & conscientiously escalated the Ukrainian crisis to a point where it turned into a military confrontation with Russia.

The provocation in Bucha created the necessary "smokescreen", which the Ukrainian leadership used to opt for armed confrontation with Russia instead of peace.

❗️ Instead of diplomatic efforts, Western countries redoubled their efforts to provide Ukraine with assistance & weapons. The price Ukraine paid for this fateful decision was hundreds of thousands of dead & maimed young Ukrainians, whom even today the Kiev regime throws into the grinder on the eastern & southern fronts in futile attempts to prove to Western curators Ukraine's ability to win.

<…>

The MH-17 disaster was a key element in the false & unsubstantiated anti-Russian campaign, which was later supplemented by the poisonings of the Skripals & Navalny, as well as the provocation in Bucha. The worse the lie, the easier it is to believe – this is the principle that our Western opponents have prioritized in all these cases.

<…>

👉 Since there has been no progress, & the Kiev regime does not hesitate to abuse the open maritime humanitarian corridor for committing provocations & attacks against Russian civilian & military facilities, we have taken the decision to withdraw from the deal.

This means:
• revoking safe navigation guarantees,
• curtailing the maritime humanitarian corridor,
• resuming the status of a temporarily dangerous area in the northwestern Black Sea,
• disbanding the JCC in Istanbul.

☝️ Russia will be ready to consider its restoration only when it receives concrete results, rather than promises & assurances from Western capitals.

Good morning, India! 🌞 शुभ प्रभात, भारत!

📄 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's article (July 19, 2023)

Remembering All the Holocaust’s Victims

🔗 Read in full

💬 The stubborn refusal to see the Nazi nature of the Kiev regime runs deep and is fuelled by nationalism that has taken root in the West and is based on notions of superiority and exceptionalism.

Decades after one of the worst WWII tragedies unfolded - the Siege of Leningrad - in 2021, Germany decided to pay compensation to the residents of the city.

Not so fast.

👉 From the German point of view, not everyone is eligible for the compensation, only the people who can prove their Jewish ancestry. An abominable and inexplicable division based on ethnicity. <...> It was revealed that Berlin is making official payments... to former collaborators.

Once again, let that sink in: In the 21st century, Germany is paying collaborators who ratted out Jews and partisans to the Polizei, but is not willing to pay the survivors of the Siege of Leningrad

A new interview with Michael Brodsky, Israel's ambassador to Ukraine (we've discussed his previous remarks), in which he once again justifies the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev, is a dreadful read. <...>

The Holocaust was the persecution and mass extermination by the Nazis of members of various ethnic and social groups.

❗️ This is the way it is laid:
• UNGA A/RES/60/7;
• UNESCO Resolution 34C/61;
• OSCE Berlin Declaration.

We are following universally accepted provisions in connection with the blatant manifestations of the West-supported ethnic hatred, segregation and xenophobia in Ukraine.

***

Do you realise why it is important to remember the Holocaust? Not because the Nazis killed one or more specific ethnicities, but because discriminating against people on the basis of ethnicity is not an option in principle <...>

☝️ Unfortunately, genocides have not taught humanity anything. The worst part is that today the descendants of the victims have become advocates for those who killed their ancestors. And this is just one step away from the apocalypse.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at a meeting with Russian non-profit organisation leaders

📍 Moscow, July 19, 2023

👉 Read in full

Key talking points:

• We are aware that it’s about the struggle between the worlds and attempts by the Western world, which Washington has brought to its heel and turned into an “obedient team” that is unable to have alternative viewpoints, to force the rest of the world into agreeing that the hegemony of the West, which has lasted for a long 500 years, should be perpetuated.

• In fact, the West does not let sovereign states decide who to build relations with.

• At the recent NATO summit in Vilnius, they announced once again who can have relations with whom. Along with reiterating what was said at last year's NATO summit in Madrid about NATO’s global responsibility, including in the Asia-Pacific region, what went on record this time in Vilnius was that the deepening Russia-China partnership and their complementary attempts to undermine the “rules-based order” contradicts the alliance’s values and interests.

• We cannot and will never give up the stated goals of the special military operation.

• We are seeing a growing self-awareness, a feeling of one’s own identity and a striving to uphold it in the countries of Eurasia, the Asia-Pacific Region, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. It is impossible to stop the formation of a multipolar world. This must be admitted. I understand that the West finds it difficult to do this.

• We are developing associations of a new type. They differ from the European Union that is trying to adopt the unanimity rule and force dissenters to obey it.

• Naturally, there is a demand for efforts to disseminate objective information about the situation in our country and to promote the Russian language, culture and domestic education abroad. Complicated processes are taking place now, in part, in the CIS space.

❗️ Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting with permanent members of the Security Council

Full text of the President's statement

Key points:

• It is clear today that the Western curators of the Kiev regime are certainly disappointed with the results of the counteroffensive that the current Ukrainian authorities announced in previous months. There are no results, at least for now. The colossal resources that were pumped into the Kiev regime, the supply of Western weapons, and the deployment of thousands of foreign mercenaries and advisers, who were most actively used in attempts to break through the front of our army, are not helping.

• NATO arsenals and stockpiles of old Soviet weapons in some countries are already largely depleted. The West does not have the production capacities to quickly replenish the consumption of reserves of equipment and ammunition. Additional, large resources and time are needed. The main thing is that formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered huge losses as a result of self-destructive attacks: tens of thousands of people.

• People in Ukraine are asking a legitimate question more often: for what, for the sake of whose selfish interests, are their relatives and friends dying. Gradually, slowly, but clarity comes.

• I cannot refrain from commenting on what has just been said and on media reports that have come out about plans to establish some sort of the so-called Polish-Lithuanian-Ukrainian unit. This is not about a group of mercenaries – there are plenty of them there and they are being destroyed – but about a well-organised, equipped regular military unit to be used for operations in Ukraine, including to allegedly ensure the security of today’s Western Ukraine – actually, to call things by their true name, for the subsequent occupation of these territories.

• Belarus is part of the Union State, and launching an aggression against Belarus would mean launching an aggression against the Russian Federation.

The Russian MoD’s latest statements on Ukrainian attack on Russian journalists:

▪️ The Armed Forces of Ukraine launched an artillery strike on a group of Sputnik journalists on July 22;

▪️ Sputnik journalists who were hit by the Armed Forces of Ukraine were preparing materials on the shelling of the Zaporozhye region with cluster munitions;

▪️ The journalists were promptly evacuated to the field medical facilities of the Russian MoD, where they receive qualified medical care;

▪️ The state of health of the injured journalists is moderate, stable, there is no threat to life; all the necessary medical care is being provided.
