⚡️ The information disseminated by the Kiev regime regarding the destruction of the Cathedral of the Transfiguration Cathedral in Odessa as a result of the use of high-precision weapons does not correspond to reality.
▫️ All the facilities designated for defeat and destroyed on the night of 23 July this year, where the Kiev regime, together with foreign specialists, were preparing terrorist acts against the Russian Federation, were located at a safe distance from the Transfiguration Cathedral.
▫️ The planning of strikes with precision weapons against military and terrorist infrastructure facilities of the Kiev regime is carried out on the basis of information carefully checked and confirmed through several channels, knowingly excluding the civilian facilities, as well as cultural and historical heritage sites.
▫️ According to footage of the Transfiguration Cathedral in Odessa published by local residents, the most probable cause of its destruction was the fall of a Ukrainian anti-aircraft guided missile as a result of the incompetent actions of the operators of air defence systems, which the AFU deliberately places in residential areas, including Odessa.

Key points:
• The partnership relations between our country and Africa have strong, deep roots being distinguished by stability, trust and goodwill at all times.
• We have consistently supported African peoples in their struggle for liberation from colonial oppression. We have provided assistance in the formation of statehood, strengthening of sovereignty and defence capabilities.
• We highly value the honestly gained capital of friendship and cooperation, traditions of trust and mutual support that Russia and African countries share.
🌍 Russia welcomes the rising international authority of individual states as well as Africa as a whole. Their desire to make their voices strongly heard and to take the continent's problems into their own hands. We have always supported the constructive initiatives of our partners. We stand for granting African countries their rightful place in the structures that determine the fate of the world, including the UN Security Council and the G20, as well as reforming the global financial and trade institutions in a way that meets their interests.
• Africa feels the burden of global challenges like no other part of the world. In such a challenging environment, we look forward to working with our African partners to shape a non-discriminatory agenda for cooperation.
• We understand the importance of uninterrupted food supplies for the socio-economic development and political stability of the African States. <...> Notwithstanding the sanctions, Russia will continue its energetic efforts to provide supplies of grain, food products, fertilizers, and other goods to Africa.
🤝 We attach great importance to the upcoming Second #RussiaAfrica Summit. <...> I am looking forward to welcoming the African leaders in St. Petersburg and stand committed to a fruitful constructive dialogue.

❗️Foreign Ministry statement on the Ukrainian attacks on Moscow and Crimea
According to the Defence Ministry of the Russian Federation, two Ukrainian unmanned combat aerial vehicles were used to attack facilities in Moscow early in the morning of July 24. All of them were suppressed by radio-electronic warfare systems and crashed. There were no casualties or substantial damage, though two non-residential buildings were struck.
On July 24, a helicopter-type drone with no explosives aboard fell in the Central Cemetery of Moscow’s Zelenograd Administrative Area.
In the early hours of July 24, an attempt by the Kiev regime to attack facilities in Crimea was also thwarted. In all, 17 drones were launched. Fourteen were suppressed using radio-electronic warfare systems, 11 of them crashed in the Black Sea and three fell on the territory of the peninsula. Three more drones were destroyed by air-defence forces. There were no casualties. According to Head of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksyonov, an ammunition depot was hit in the Dzhankoi District. Drone fragments damaged a private home in the Kirovsky District.
Ukraine has already claimed responsibility for these attacks. Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mikhail Fyodorov openly confirmed the complicity of the Zelensky regime in the attacks and noted that Kiev would continue these incursions, and that their number will increase.
The military and political leadership of Ukraine has yet again resorted to terrorist methods to intimidate the civilian population. These attacks had no military significance. We strongly condemn this new crime of the Kiev regime, and we urge international organisations to duly evaluate them.
The brazen actions of Ukrainian neo-Nazis highlight the intent of the West to continue aggravating the situation.
The Investigative Committee of Russia has opened criminal proceedings in connection with the attacks. All culprits will be found and punished.
⚠️ The Russian side reserves the right to take tough retaliatory measures.

After the Black Sea Initiative was concluded in 2022, #Russia numerous times patiently agreed to prolong it despite the fact that the Russian part of it has never been implemented. It has also become clear that the West’s blatant sabotage of the letter and spirit of the #GrainDeal defeats its purpose as it did not live up to its humanitarian rationale.

After the Black Sea Initiative was concluded in 2022, #Russia numerous times patiently agreed to prolong it despite the fact that the Russian part of it has never been implemented. It has also become clear that the West’s blatant sabotage of the letter and…
The Russia-#UN Memorandum on the promotion of Russian food products and fertilisers to world markets – an indispensable part of the package – has never really worked to a large degree due to the American and the #EU’s rampant sanctions campaign. A number of systematic objectives envisaged by the above MoU have not been implemented till today:
❎The Russian agricultural bank “Rosselkhozbank” has not been reconnected to the SWIFT system;
❎ Agricultural machinery, spare parts and any relevant equipment supplies for the production of farm products and fertilisers in Russia have not been resumed and are still banned as imports of “dual-purpose” goods;
❎The Western illegitimate unilateral restrictions on Russian cargo vessels insurance, reinsurance and access to foreign ports have not been lifted;
❎Foreign accounts of Russian agricultural companies and the ones involved into the production and transportation have not been unblocked and are still frozen;
❎The operation of the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline after it had been blown up by Ukrainians on June 5, 2023 has not been restored.
In fact, we witnessed a commercialization of an initially humanitarian initiative. Out of 32.8 million tonnes of cargo exported under the Initiative:
‼ almost 80% (26.3 million tonnes) was shipped to countries with high and higher than average income, including the EU;
‼ only 3% (922,094 tonnes) – to the low-income countries – Ethiopia, Yemen, #Afghanistan, Sudan and Somalia.
Given that significant portion of the Ukrainian arable land (over 17 million hectares) is owned by the American corporations such as Cargill, DuPont and Monsanto, one would be critically wrong to think that the entire scenario does not benefit the #USA and the EU.
The Deal also was misused to supply weapons to #Ukraine and launch strikes against civilian infrastructure, including the #Crimea'n Bridge.
In its turn, Russia is committed to continue supplying its agricultural products and fertilizers to world markets to meet the demands of the countries most in need, including on a gratuitous and preferential basis.

☦️ For many years, the Kiev regime has been pursuing a policy of eradicating the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) in Ukraine, discriminating against its clergy, and persecuting clergymen and believers. The country's legislative system & the actions of various law enforcement agencies are designed to fulfill this goal.
The events unfolding in Ukraine contribute to the overall picture of a systemic crisis in world Orthodoxy caused by the policies of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the US & other Western countries, which encourage schismatics to do what they are doing.
⛔️ The Kiev authorities and the West are trying to drive a wedge between the Russian and Ukrainian peoples, to destroy the spiritual affinity of Orthodox believers in the two countries, even despite the Ukrainian Orthodox Church’s decision to become independent from the Moscow Patriarchate. It is not surprising that the former Ukrainian authorities also took various steps against the canonical Church.
Full-scale system-wide pressure on canonical Orthodoxy in Ukraine began in 2018 and intensified in 2022-2023. It was spearheaded by the central authorities of Ukraine and is currently being implemented through legislation, activities of the intelligence services, etc.
In addition, the Kiev regime’s efforts include:
❌ drafting discriminatory laws,
❌ forceful seizures of churches and monasteries,
❌ illegal re-registration of communities,
❌ encouragement of hate speech,
❌ unmotivated aggression,
❌violence against the UOC clergy & believers.
🤐 Multilateral universal organisations have for the most part remained blind & deaf to the facts of the Kiev regime persecuting the canonical UOC.
🗂 The report is divided into 7 sections, presents facts and circumstances gathered from various sources that show the full extent of political lawlessness in & legal outrage against the UOC, the gross systematic violation of the rights of Orthodox Christians by the Kiev regime, the reactions of some international human rights organisations.

#Opinion by Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova
💬 During the briefing today I spoke about the absence of an appropriate response from the relevant international organisations to the Kiev regime’s crimes and its tactic of terror against Russian journalists and other media representatives.
We saw a perfect example of the Ukrainian neo-Nazis’ reaction even to feeble criticism after UNESCO Secretary-General Audrey Azoulay posted an absolutely toothless comment on the murder of Russian military reporter Rostislav Zhuravlev by the Banderites and the wounding of his colleagues in an attack launched with the use of US-supplied cluster munitions. She said that she “deplored” the death of the Russian journalist, as if it was just another obituary, whereas she was supposed to provide an appropriate assessment of a crime.
The Ukrainian delegation reacted to her comment immediately and in its traditional extremist manner. They circulated a note on behalf of the “Ukrainian media community,” which not simply justified the murder of Rostislav Zhuravlev but also included a new package (!) of open threats to our correspondents and media outlets. It said that Russian media organisations and their personnel must receive the punishment they deserve for their actions.
❗️ Responsibility for the birth of that satanic monster called the Kiev regime lies with those who have disregarded its crimes over the years, even though it is their primary duty to call such culprits to account. Crafty non-committal replies won’t be accepted any more. You are responsible, through your action or inaction, for creating a terrorist monster.

💬 Relations between the Russian Federation and African states are on the upswing, which is in the fundamental interests of both sides. Russia-Africa cooperation rests on the principles of equality, mutual respect and non-interference in the internal affairs. We are particularly glad to note the ongoing expansion of contacts between people. It is promoting the sympathy our people developed for each other during the period of decolonisation.
It is hard to overestimate the role of the media, primarily news agencies, in the further strengthening of friendship, trust and understanding. Now our priority goal is to expand Russia’s media presence in Africa and the African media presence in Russia. One of the aims is to overcome finally the negative stereotypes imposed by the collective West.
<…>
It is important to fully harness the potential of modern information technology – social media, the blogosphere, and digital services and platforms.
❗️ The West is relentless in its attempts to smear the image of Russia and African states in the media space. Under the circumstances, there is high demand for the initiative, responsible work of journalists, media top managers and new media specialists.
I am convinced that you can create a constructive news agenda that will be based on truth and facts rather than manipulation and invention to which the US and European media are increasingly resorting now.

🇷🇺🌍 President Vladimir Putin held a trilateral meeting with Chairperson of the African Union and President of the Union of the Comoros Azali Assoumani and Chairperson of the African Union Commission Moussa Faki Mahamat at the Expoforum Centre.
📍 Saint Petersburg, July 27, 2023
Key talking points:
• We view the African Union as a leading regional organisation that shapes the modern security structure on the continent and paves the way for Africa to take its rightful place in the system of global economic links.
• We support the Union’s involvement in the work of leading international associations. I would like to remind you that Russia was one of the first to react positively to the initiative advanced by the President of Senegal, who preceded you in this position, for granting the African Union full membership in the G20.
• As before, Russia is ready to help strengthen African countries’ sovereignty and contribute to Africa becoming a key partner in the new system of the multipolar world order.
• Our mutual trade reached approximately 18 billion US dollars in 2022 and increased by nearly 35 percent in the first six months of 2023.
• Russia remains a reliable food supplier for Africa. In 2022, Russian food exports amounted to 4.7 billion US dollars. Many large Russian companies are successfully working in Africa. The key spheres of our cooperation include energy, subsoil use, agriculture.
🇷🇺🇰🇲 We highly value our relations with the Union of the Comoros. They are based on the principles of mutual respect and a balance of each other’s interests and have a development potential in a number of spheres. Of course, we are open to cooperation with your country in all areas.
