📄 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's article for Komsomolskaya Pravda (August 25, 2023)
The living and the dead land
Key points:
💬 Back in their day, the Nazis came up with the idea of using depleted uranium as an armour-piercing weapon. <...> At the time, the danger of uranium as a weapon was not obvious, and all the data to this effect was viewed as controversial until the 1990s, when NATO troops employed depleted uranium munitions during their aggression against Yugoslavia in what turned out to be a horrific experiment.
• Russia warned people in Ukraine about this threat many times, but unfortunately it is about to materialise on the Ukrainian territory too. British and American supplies of radioactive and highly toxic depleted uranium munitions are turning Ukraine into a territory that is unsuitable for living. The radioactive contamination of soil is already underway.
📈 There was a substantial surge in radiation reported in Ukraine’s Khmelnitsky Region in May. A similar spike in radiation was also reported around the same time in Poland’s western regions. In both cases, the explosion of depleted uranium munitions at a storage facility in Khmelnitsky was probably what caused the spikes.
• Every warehouse with depleted uranium munitions and every tank carrying them can potentially lead to a surge in cancer rates, leaving behind deadly and toxic soils, and posing a mortal danger for all living being.
☝️ Ukrainians must understand that the UK supplies them with a true poison, since there will be no getting away from tumours, and demand that depleted uranium munitions be shipped out of the country as quickly as possible.

🎙 FM Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to questions at the news conference following the BRICS Summit (Johannesburg, August 24, 2023)
💬 The BRICS Summit is over. President Vladimir Putin took part in the summit via videocall. I was instructed to represent our country here on site.
<...> Six countries [Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Argentina, Ethiopia, Iran, and Egypt] will be able to fully contribute to our efforts within BRICS effective January 1, 2024.
BRICS Plus is already underway. We have invited over 60 countries that are interested in developing relations with our association in the BRICS Plus/Outreach format and partner countries. This is a new format that was endorsed at the summit.
On explosive expansion of BRICS
💬 I believe that it stems from the fact that countries willing to forge closer ties with the five BRICS nations have a keen understanding of the deep-running international processes. They exposed the West in its relentless efforts to preserve its hegemony at any cost.
The difference between BRICS and the G7 or other West-centric associations is that in those associations, everybody looks up to the US. Our association takes a completely different approach: every participant is equal to the others.
On #RussiaSouthAfrica relations
Our relations are excellent. <...> All the leading politicians in the Republic of South Africa remember the role that the Soviet Union played in their fight against apartheid as well as in the decolonisation of Africa; we appreciate that. <...> There is no doubt that we have good prospects.
On situation in Niger
💬 We must see the true causes of these government coups. What did Africa get from working with the West? The African continent does not get any added value. All the West wants are its resources.
We have had a different approach ever since the Soviet era. We sought to lay the foundation for industrial development, promote education and healthcare.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Russia's position at the seventy-eighth session of the UN General Assembly
The primary objective of the 78th session of the UN General Assembly is to reaffirm the central and coordinating role of the universal Organization in global affairs and to strengthen the multipolar system of international relations.
Read in full
👉 We have consistently advocated strengthening the multilateral framework of international relations and world economy based on the universal norms of international law, first and foremost the provisions of the UN Charter, focusing on the unconditional respect for the sovereign equality of states and non-interference in their internal affairs.
❗️ It is pivotal to prevent a small group of Western countries from taking control of the UN by striving to substitute generally recognized principles of cooperation between the states with non-consensual constructs.
#UN
The UN Security Council reform should aim to strengthen the representation of developing states from Africa, Asia and Latin America in the Security Council without prejudice to the UNSC's effectiveness and operational efficiency. Low twenties seems the optimum number of members of the reformed Council.
We support realistic initiatives to revitalize the work of the UN General Assembly within the relevant Ad Hoc Working Group. It is of paramount importance to fine-tune UNGA working methods, streamline its overloaded agenda and strengthen multilingualism.
#Sanctions
Sanctions are an important auxiliary tool for the UNSC to suppress activities threatening international peace and security. They must not be used as a means of punishment. They should be carefully measured, targeted and time-limited and take into account political, socio-economic, human rights and humanitarian consequences.
❗️It is unacceptable to introduce, in addition to UNSC sanctions, further unilateral coercive measures, especially those with extraterritorial effect. We advocate for including this requirement in relevant SC resolutions.

The Group of Twenty (G20) will hold its summit on September 9 and 10 in New Delhi, India. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will be heading the Russian delegation at the instruction of President Vladimir Putin. 🔸 @RusEmbIndia
At the upcoming leaders’ meeting, the Foreign Minister is expected to take the floor during two plenary sessions: on September 9, there will be the One Planet session on sustainable development and promoting steady economic growth, and on September 10, the Foreign Minister will speak at the One Future session highlighting key matters of promoting democracy and strengthening the role of the countries belonging to the global majority within global economic governance institutions, as well as achieving digital transformation. Sergey Lavrov is scheduled to hold several bilateral talks and contacts on the sidelines of the summit.
We would like to note the unifying nature of India’s G20 Presidency, the country’s commitment to promoting the interests of the developing countries and creating a constructive atmosphere at the forum. The summit is expected to take a decision on accepting the African Union as a permanent G20 member. We welcome this step. Russia was among the first to support this initiative and contributed to carrying it out.
The policy of confrontation adopted by the collective West has been creating artificial roadblocks that prevent the G20 from unleashing its creative potential. Efforts by the United States and its allies to spread anti-Russia and anti-China information, primarily in the context of Ukraine, have been a special source of tension. We refer to this phenomenon as the Ukrainisation of the international agenda, meaning a refusal to recognise the actual challenges related to the Ukraine crisis, its causes and ways to settle it, while seeking to place this topic on top of the agenda everywhere even when it has no place in the discussion.
The West’s attempts to devalue a consensus rule within the G20 and to extend questionable G7 agreements to this forum as binding commitments have given rise to alarming trends. The Anglo-Saxons are cooking up all kinds of dirty tricks.
At the summit, Russia intends to promote its principled vision on ways of achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) and addressing key challenges in this regard, including the West’s efforts to destabilise the global economy through sanctions, terrorist attacks inspired by the West, conflicts and supply chain disruptions. We will share our assessment of the risks related to precipitating the transition to a green economy, especially for the most vulnerable countries of the world. The West has succeeded in making environment protection an extremely partisan and polarising issue. This is not just an irresponsible attitude but a harmful one as well, since this position is not backed by research.
We will present in detail our views regarding the need to reform global economic governance considering the emerging multipolar world order and the ongoing shift in manufacturing capabilities in favour of the developing countries, as well as regarding efforts to counter the arbitrary and illegitimate unilateral Western sanctions. We will insist on taking carefully thought-out solutions on digital transformation, mitigating energy and food security risks and streamlining the energy transition.
We will place a special emphasis on positioning Russia as a reliable and responsible supplier of energy resources and exporter, and will present specific proposals on expanding multilateral cooperation, in particular, as part of the Greater Eurasian Partnership.
Russia is committed to making the Delhi summit a success and ensuring that the Indian G20 Presidency is effective. We hope that all other G20 members, especially those representing the West, adopt the same responsible attitude.
We will work with a wide range of friendly partner countries within the G20 and rely on the BRICS countries to counter any detrimental processes in this regard.

🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s interview with ANSA Italian news agency
Read in full
(Telegraph)
Key talking points:
🔹 For Western officials, diplomatically resolving the Ukrainian crisis is not a priority. They plan to drag out the conflict so that the Kiev regime engages in a war of attrition against Russia. Losses among Ukrainians hold no sway for NATO; they are mere expendable assets in achieving NATO’s geopolitical goals.
🔹 Our requirements for resolving the European security crisis provoked by Washington and Brussels are well-known. First, the parameters of security guarantees provided by both Russia and the West must be agreed upon in line with the proposals that we made to the United States and NATO in December 2021.
🔹 The special military operation’s goal is not to seize Ukraine's territory, but to denazify and demilitarise it and ensure its non-bloc status. Only then can we talk about eliminating threats to Russia and its citizens’ security.
🇻🇦 Russia has repeatedly emphasised that it highly values the Vatican's balanced stance on the Ukrainian conflict and the efforts of the Holy See and Pope Francis in seeking a peaceful settlement, which unfortunately have been openly turned down by the Kiev regime.
🇮🇹 Following the lead of the United States, Italy has chosen a course aimed at the deliberate dismantling of the decades-old complex of Russian-Italian cooperation in various fields. Italy is supplying increasingly heavy and lethal weaponry and military equipment to Ukraine
🔹 At the same time, many good things connect us with Italy and its wonderful people, who - we are well aware of it - despite the Russophobic exercises by the paid-up mainstream media, maintain a deep sympathy for and interest in Russia, its culture and people.

⚡️ Russia's position at the seventy-eighth session of the UN General Assembly:
Middle East settlement
📃 We believe that reviving the Middle East settlement process, while placing the efforts to address the Palestinian problem at its core, is a prerequisite for bringing peace and security to the Middle East.
🇮🇱🇵🇸 We attach key importance to preventing the escalation of violence between Palestinians and Israelis and to providing extensive humanitarian assistance to those affected and in need in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
We call on the sides to show restraint, refrain from unilateral steps and provocative actions, and respect the special status and integrity of the Holy Sites in Jerusalem.
☝️ We support the resumption of direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations on all issues concerning the final status based on a universally acknowledged international legal framework, including the two-state formula.
