🇷🇺🇮🇱📞 President of Russia Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu.

The discussion focused on the critical situation in the Palestine-Israel conflict zone, in particular, the disastrous humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

☝️ Vladimir Putin reaffirmed principled position of rejecting and condemning terrorism in all its manifestations.

❗️ At the same time, it is of the utmost importance to avoid such grave consequences for the civilian population while countering terrorist threats.

Russia is ready to provide all possible assistance to alleviate the suffering of civilians and de-escalate the conflict.

In addition, the parties expressed mutual interest in further cooperation on the evacuation of Russian citizens and their families, as well as the release of Israelis held in Gaza.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement and answers to media questions following the 21th Doha Forum, 10 December 2023

Read in full

💬 The domination of the “collective West” was based on diverse history including ruthless exploitation of peoples and territories of other countries.

On the basis of this five hundred years, the US & its allies built the model of globalization, which they believed would serve THEM well to continue to be number one in economy, in military exercises, in culture, politics, and so on and so forth. And they thought that they would be using this globalization scheme to continue their domination.

However, other countries, using exactly the principles and instruments of the western globalization, managed to beat the West on its own turf, building economies on the basis of national sovereignty, on the basis of balance of interests with other countries.

<...>

We see this process very much underway, which is clearly changing the balance of power in the world, and not to the West liking.

This is especially seen in various conflicts which the West ignites all over the world. Everything goes to keep the hegemony.

<...>

The analysis of all these events raises a question: is there a single place where the US intervened with military force, where life has become better?

I think you know the answer 👉 Ruined statehood, human tragedies, and bleak prospects for the future of the countries where the Americans & NATO interfered.

<...>

We have to accept the existence of new organizations, new formats, new structures like #BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, #ASEAN, #AfricanUnion, and many subregional organizations in Africa, CELAC and subregional groups in Latin America. They are going to be the bricks of the new polycentric world. This must be recognized as an objective course of history and this must be respected. This is something which we actually miss when we analyse the modern Western diplomacy. But this is for the West to draw conclusions.

🎙 Key points from the Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to media questions following the 21th Doha Forum, 10 December 2023

🔸 We strongly condemned the terrorist attack against Israel on the 7th of October, like we condemn any terrorist attack. At the same time, we do not believe it's acceptable to use this event for collective punishment of the millions of Palestinian people with indiscriminate shelling of the civilian quarters.

🔸 We have to recall what was the roots of the situation in the Palestinian territories. 75 years of resolution, promising the state to the Palestinians as being sabotaged, and for about 50 years the blockade of Gaza continues.

🔸 The egoistic nature of the decisions the American foreign policy provides are very well known to us.

🔸 I mentioned the phenomenon of "cancel culture". It's not a war of choice. It's the operation which we could not avoid given the years of Ukraine being prepared by the United States and NATO as an instrument to undermine Russia's security.

🔸 They had a chance in March and April 2022. Very soon after the beginning of the military operation when in Istanbul the negotiators reached a deal based on the neutrality of Ukraine. No NATO, but some other security guarantees given to Ukraine by the West and Russia together. This deal was aborted. It was canceled because the Americans and the Brits decided that if President Vladimir Putin is ready to sign it then let's exhaust him more.

🔸 I remember the reaction of the Democratic party after Donald Trump won in 2016. And by the way, we still remember how President Barack Obama, three weeks before Donald Trump's inauguration, expelled dozens of Russian diplomats with their families. Making sure that the departure was as uncomfortable as possible. And then introduced sanctions against Russia for "interference in the American domestic affairs".

Since then, they never could provide a single proof that this lie has any substance behind it.

☝️ I serve my country as long as my country needs me.

⚡️ Address of the chambers of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to the UN, international parliamentary organisations, and parliaments of the world in connection with the violation of the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child due to criminal actions by the Kiev regime

💬 The mass use by the Kiev-controlled armed formations of indiscriminate weapons, firearms, and light weapons, as well as the use of cluster and phosphorous munitions, and remote mining of residential communities are the main reasons minors are becoming victims.

The criminal actions of the Kiev regime have violated a whole range of provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child of November 20, 1989, including the provisions guaranteeing the right to life, healthy development, freedom of conscience, thought, views, opinions, and religious beliefs, education, and the use of the native language.

Children living in Ukraine are subjected to harassment based on language, and are persecuted for pro-Russian views.

Ukrainian armed formations force minors to undergo combat training in field camps, perform tasks as saboteurs, missile and artillery spotters, spread disinformation, and participate in terrorist attacks.

There are numerous cases of child abuse with the connivance of Ukrainian law enforcement agencies, as well as the exploitation of children in the porn industry, which thrives in Ukraine.

In cooperation with Western non-governmental organisations linked to organised crime, Kiev covers up the abduction of children for further export abroad.

❗️ We consider it important to condemn the inaction of the specialised agencies and international organisations, whose scope of duties includes providing assistance in ensuring compliance with the fundamental rights and freedoms of minors.

Such a biased and unprofessional approach encourages the Kiev rulers to violate international humanitarian law and to condemn an even greater number of innocent children to death and suffering.

⚡️ Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the 75th anniversary of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

💬 75 years ago, on December 9, 1948, the UN General Assembly passed Resolution 260 A (III) approving the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which confirmed that genocide was a crime under international law. In September 2015, the UN General Assembly proclaimed December 9 as the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime.

Throughout history, there have been numerous instances of national, ethnic, racial or religious groups facing annihilation.

❗️ The Europeans were actively involved in destroying the indigenous population of America as they colonised the continent. Researchers estimate that the number of their victims during the period from the late 15th century to 1910 reached a staggering 15 million. The Australian aboriginal people shared the fate of American Indians.

Unfortunately, despite centuries of human progress, the extermination of various ethnic and religious groups continues to occur. In fact, the 20th century witnessed the horrifying growth of such acts.

🕯 The tragic events of World War I, Nazi Germany’s extermination of Slavs in German-occupied Eastern Europe, and the Holocaust led to the realisation that genocide should be treated as a criminal act under international law.

<...>

⚠️ Justice must be served, and the crimes committed by the Nazis during the Great Patriotic War, crimes fuelled by hatred and notions of racial supremacy, must and will be exposed.

☝️ Those professing the Nazi ideology in our day and age will be held accountable as well.

Russia
is committed to ensuring that the crime of genocide, one of the gravest crimes against humanity, does not go unpunished.

संगीत और कला की कोई सीमा नहीं होती।

भारत की अपनी 7वीं यात्रा के दौरान रूस के जैज़ म्यूजिशियन इगोर बुतोमान ने केंसिल कल्चर को दरकिनार कर रुस की कला और संस्कृति को अपनाने के लिए भारत के प्रति अपना सम्मान व्यक्त किया।

इसके विपरीत, कुछ देशों ने रूस की कला, संस्कृति, संगीत और रूसी कलाकारों को पूरी तरह से दरकिनार कर दिया है और 1500 साल पुरानी रूसी कला को पूरी तरह से दबाने की साजिश में लगे हुए हैं।

कलाकार इसका सामना कैसे कर रहे हैं, ये जानने के लिए देखें हमारी डॉक्यूमेंट्री “केंसिल कल्चर का शिकार”।

🇷🇺 Thirty years ago, on December 12, 1993, 58.2 million Russian citizens (54.8% of the entire electorate) cast their ballots at a nationwide referendum and approved the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the country’s fundamental law.

The Constitution officially entered into force on December 25, 1993.

This important national document formalises the division of state power branches and the federal state system.

📕 #IntrerestingFact: The Russian Constitution is composed of the Preamble, two sections, nine chapters, 137 articles and nine paragraphs of interim and concluding provisions.

💪 The Constitution possesses supreme legal force and direct effect, and is applied throughout Russia.

The main copy of the nation’s fundamental law is stored in the Kremlin Library. When assuming office, the President of the Russian Federation takes an oath of allegiance, placing his right hand on this copy of the Constitution. The text of the 33-Russian word presidential oath of allegiance is as follows:

💬 In the execution of the duties vested in me as the President of the Russian Federation, I solemnly vow to uphold and safeguard human rights and freedoms, to honour and protect the Constitution of the Russian Federation, to preserve the sovereignty, independence, security, and integrity of the state, and to faithfully serve the people.

According to Article 86, the President of Russia oversees the implementation of the foreign policy of the Russian Federation.

The Constitution explicitly stipulates the role of international law as a component part of the Russian legal system. If an international treaty establishes different rules than those envisaged by the law, the rules of the treaty shall be applied.

🛰 #IntrerestingFact: Two copies of the Constitution have travelled into space: once aboard the Mir orbital station in 1999, and once aboard the International Space Station in 2005, spending 329 days in orbit in total.

🎙 Briefing by Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik on the crimes committed by the Kiev regime (Moscow, December 12, 2023).

Key talking points:

💬 Having suffered defeats and significant losses on the battlefield, Ukrainian Armed Forces, following instructions of their political authorities, are diverting their military capacities to attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure.

• The analysis of the strikes and its pattern, as well as weapons and methods used by the Ukrainian fighters, we can confidently state that, they kill and harm civilians, destroy civilian facilities and infrastructure deliberately with a clear understanding of the consequences.

❗️ Since November the Armed Forces of Ukraine used more than 12,000 munitions of various caliber and modification to strike civilian facilities. Some 250 civilians were affected by Ukrainian shelling, with 1 in every 5 of them killed.

• Another "innovation" developed by Ukrainian fighters is hunting civilians with drones. Operators flying UAVs equipped with explosive objects track down civilians and drop munitions on them.

🤐 Until now, we have not heard any words of condemnation or concern about the lawlessness perpetrated by Kiev from representatives of Western states and international organizations.

• The Ukrainian regime is consistently and tentatively committing an unprecedented act of abuse of the feelings and of millions of believers in Ukraine. It is trampling on the principles of freedom of religions and staking a medieval coven to expel, ban, and humiliate the believers of Ukraine's largest religious organization, the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

☝️ The Zelensky's regime is trying to eliminate all of the basics of the life of the Ukrainian people — Ukrainian Orthodox, religious, the Russian language, cultural heritage such as arts, national ethnic traditions and monuments.

Ambassador Gennady Gatilov’s response to a question from TASS on the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

📍 December 12, 2023

▪️ Regrettably, there is little cause for celebration, despite the anniversary date. 75 years after the adoption of the Universal Declaration, we observe a distressing situation in the field of human rights worldwide.

▪️ Problems that were inherent to certain historical periods have not only persisted, but also multiplied. Today, the topic of promoting and protecting human rights is being shamelessly manipulated by the Western states who consider themselves “paragons” in this area, imposing systems of alien views and values on other countries and peoples.

The highest value – human life – continues to be selectively interpreted by individual states. This is especially evident through international conflicts and humanitarian catastrophes, when certain lives are deemed “less important”. Take, for example, the unsuccessful attempts to adopt a UN Security Council resolution on a ceasefire in Gaza, which is being consistently blocked by the US. This clearly shows the real attitude towards the right of ordinary Palestinians to life. For many years, the plight of the people of Donbass, who suffered and perished under Ukrainian bombs and shells, also received little to no attention.

▪️ The dire situation in the field of human rights cannot be alleviated by competitions in eloquence. Real actions are required, ones that prioritize efforts by the entire international community to build a fair multipolar world, in which the interests of all countries would be equally taken into account, including their national, religious, cultural, historical and other peculiarities.

▪️ Unfortunately, this is not the case right now. Therefore, the grand events held this week on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights seem more like a “feast during the plague.” Much talk, little action.

🎙 Excerpts from President Vladimir Putin's answers to questions from journalists and the people of Russia during the programme Results of the Year (December 14, 2023)

Talking points:

• Many European leaders pretend to emulate [tough stance of] General de Gaulle, who fought for France's interests, but in reality, they [succumbed to the US] are like Marshal Petain, who became submitted to the will of the invaders during World War II.

Almost everyone [in the EU] acts in this fashion, except Fico, Orbán. They aren't pro-Russian politicians, they're pro-national, protect their states' interests. Such people [like de Gaulle] are no more. This is due to dependence on Big Brother - US.

• Fundamental conditions to restore comprehensive [Russia-US] relations will be created when Washington starts respecting other peoples, other nations, seeking compromise, and stops trying to resolve their issues through sanctions and military actions.

• We and Turkey proceed from the fact that UN decisions on the establishment of a Palestinian state with capital in East Jerusalem must be implemented. It is extremely important. We need to create the fundamentals for an Israeli-Palestinian settlement.

• Everything that IOC's officials are doing with regard to Russian sport is a full perversion of Pierre de Coubertin's concepts. The Olympic Movement was created to bring people together.

• As regards the [Western] "rules-based order" — no such rules exist. [The West] changes them in favour of it own interests. Thankfully, enough nations want to live by the rules set out in fundamental international documents.
