⚠️ We continue to record facts of inhumane treatment of civilians by the authorities in Kiev, and use of social infrastructure for military purposes by Ukrainian armed formations:

🔹militants of the territorial defence battalions have equipped firing positions and sniper points in residential buildings in Kharkov on Klochkovskaya Street and in Kostantinovka of Donetsk People's Republic on Tsiolkovskyi Street. However, no civilians have been evacuated from the building;

🔹 in Kramatorsk, units of armed nationalist formations have equipped strongholds in Lyceum No. 65 and the Kramatorsk Vocational Education Centre No. 47 on Yubileynaya Street, artillery and MLRS mounts have been placed and residents of nearby houses are being held in the premises of the educational institutions under the pretext of ensuring security;

🔹 in Kazachya Lopan, Kharkov Region, a poultry factory has ammunition depots in its workshops, military equipment in hangars, and factory personnel are forcibly held in the basement of one of its administrative buildings;

🔹 in Seversk, Donetsk People's Republic, Tochka-U missile system and MLRS have been deployed at a grain storage facility located at the intersection of Tolstoy and Donetskaya streets.

▫️At the same time, nationalists are systematically shelling populated areas of the Donetsk People's Republic, provoking the Russian Armed Forces to return fire in order to accuse Russian servicemen of allegedly indiscriminate strikes on civilian infrastructure, following a previously practiced scenario.

◾️ On May 28, 1830 the US Congress passed the #IndianRemovalAct, which provided for the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans from the wealthy southeast to the wild lands of the Great Plains. The campaign became known as the #TrailOfTears — ethnic cleansing and forced relocation of American Indians from their native lands in the southeastern United States to the Indian Territory (current-day Oklahoma). "Five Civilized Tribes" — the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek), Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw — traversed 9 states. Thousands Indians died on the Trail.

On May 25, the Foreign Ministries’ Spokespersons of the #BRICS countries had a virtual meeting to discuss pressing issues in the sphere of information.

They substantively examined a range of issues pertained to interaction between the relevant Foreign Ministries’ divisions of the five countries in the media sphere. Given the increasing information pressure from the West, including intentional dissemination of fake news, imposing unjustified restrictions on media activities, the participants confirmed their intention to consolidate joint efforts in the global information space aimed at countering unilateral sanctions, bloc confrontation and disinformation.

The Sides gave a high assessment to the BRICS comprehensive information activities. Mutual interest was expressed in further expanding contacts and exchanges between the relevant Foreign Ministries’ divisions, deepening cooperation in the field of information support for the BRICS activities, coordinating work in the media space.

On May 26, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov took part in the 17th #SCO Forum meeting, which was held under the Russian chairmanship through videoconference.

In his remarks, Igor Morgulov emphasized Russia's approaches to the priority tasks of improving the SCO in the context of a deep transformation of the global politics and economy. Particular attention was paid to practical measures of developing the SCO cooperation in politics, security, economy and humanitarian ties, enhancing the role of the SCO in the interests of shaping a more just and democratic multipolar world order.

The SCO Forum was established in 2006 as a consultative and expert mechanism that brings together scientific research and political science circles of the Organization's member states.

⚠️ According to information received from captured Ukrainian servicemen, militants of nationalist battalions are preparing another provocation with the use of toxic substances in Sumy.

▫️The neo-Nazis plan to shell Russian border territory from a residential area in the city and provoke Russian units to retaliate, after which they will blow up chemical tanks.

📹Foreign journalists are in Sumy to take photographs and video.

▫️This cynical action will soon be used by the Kiev authorities to accuse the Russian Armed Forces of allegedly using chemical weapons and indiscriminate strikes on civilians.

▫️Moreover, while previously in preparation for such provocations the civilian population was withdrawn from the area of planned contamination, now, in order to maximise the resonance, no warning was given to the population.

❗️We warn the "civilized West" as well as the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in advance that the above and other similar provocations about alleged "Russian atrocities" are soon to be widely spread by the Ukrainian authorities through the Western media and in various Internet resources.

❗️Updates on the results of the analysis of documents related to the #US military biological activities in #Ukraine (May 27, 2022) ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/yckj7wv9

❇️Under the Biological Weapons Convention each State Party submits an annual report. Neither Ukraine nor the US provided information on cooperative biological research. Also, Poland & Germany have not declared engagement with Ukraine in their reports

❇️ Why did the US & Ukraine's reporting documents to the #UN not include work under the joint military-biological projects codenamed UP? Such secrecy is another reason to think about the true goals of the #Pentagon in Ukraine

❇️ There were numerous breaches of safety requirements in Ukraine laboratories. The neglect of pathogens, the unprofessionalism & corruption of the executive branch, & the destructive influence of US handlers pose a direct threat to Ukrainian and European civilians

❇️ Materials of US instructors training Ukrainian specialists in emergency response to #smallpox outbreaks were discovered in biolaboratories in Ukraine. The #Pentagon's interest in this infection is far from accidental: the return of it would be a global catastrophe

❇️ According to a #WHO report, the West African strain of #monkeypox originated in #Nigeria - another state in which the US has deployed its biological infrastructure. There are at least four #Washington-controlled biolaboratories.

❇️ Given multiple US biosafety violations & the negligent storage of pathogenic biomaterials, #Russia calls on the #WHO leadership to investigate the US-funded Nigerian laboratories in Abuja, Zaria, Lagos & inform the global community of the results

#Zakharova: After 3️⃣ months of the special military operation in #Ukraine, almost all territory of #Lugansk, a considerable part of #Donetsk, the entire Kherson Region and big parts of the Kharkov and Zaporozhye regions have been liberated ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/5n7xew49

▫️Peaceful life is being restored on the territories freed from the neo-Nazis. People are restoring the economy and industry, building infrastructure, launching enterprises, and opening schools, kindergartens, outpatient clinics and hospitals.

▫️ On May 24, 2022, Russian sappers demined the port of #Mariupol. Specialists from the Black Sea Fleet removed a Ukrainian border patrol ship sunk by the #Azov battalion from the waterway, which allowed five foreign vessels to ship out.

▫️ On May 20, 2,439 Ukrainian nationalists from Azovstal plant laid down arms & were taken prisoner. All of them are in Donetsk. Wounded were put for in-patient treatment into a hospital. The rest are in the pre-trial detention centre. Their crimes will not go unpunished.

▫️ #Russia continues delivery of humanitarian aid to Lugansk, Donetsk & Ukraine’s liberated areas, which have already received almost 22,000 tonnes of it. Every day Russian Defence Ministry announces the opening of safe corridors for safe evacuation of civilians both eastward & westward.

▫️ #US & its NATO allies are doing all they can to drag out the special military operation & make the confrontation as bloody as possible. Over 30 states – mostly the #NATO countries – are supplying #Ukraine with military aid worth tens of billions of USD

▫️ Number of foreign mercenaries in #Ukraine is growing. Eventually, they will return to their countries (if they are lucky) and use the military experience gained at the battle field. This has always been the case.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with the French TV channel TF1

📍 Moscow, May 29, 2022

📰 READ IN FULL

Key points:

🔹 Unlike our Western colleagues, we are not chasing after the external effects. Nor do we regard the international actions we take as aimed at winning someone’s approval or achieving success, as you said. We are doing what we are forced to do. We are defending people and the Russian language, which has been exposed to direct discrimination and aggression by the Poroshenko and Zelensky regimes in Ukraine.

🔹 Dragging Ukraine into NATO meant creating a direct threat right on the border of the Russian Federation.

⁉️ How would France react if Belgium, for example, banned French? Or what would England do if Ireland banned English? Just imagine for a moment that Finland banned Swedish. The European mind is unable to imagine this. But the whole of Europe did not care a dime about how they were treating Russian.

🔹 You said diplomats are being expelled by both sides. We have not expelled anyone. These sanctions, which are more like hysterics (or even agony, I’d say), were initiated by the West. The speed with which they were introduced and the number of them show that they were not compiled overnight. They were being drafted for some time, and they will not likely be lifted.

@medvedev_telegram: Biden’s stated, the US won’t provide Ukraine with the missile systems able to hit Russia. It’s reasonable. In the case of attack against our cities, Russia would strike the centres where these criminal decisions are made. Some of them aren’t in Kiev. What comes next is obvious

Preparations for EEF have begun! Construction of the "Far East Street" Exhibition will start on June 1.

Along with the EEF delegates, residents, tourists of Vladivostok, and foreign students of FEFU will be able to visit the exhibition "Far East Street", as well as "Tiger House". Many of them are representatives of tiger range countries: Bangladesh, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, China, North Korea, Laos, Nepal, etc.

❗️Russian Embassy’s response ❗️

The Economic Times published an article headlined “Invading Nations is Wrong” by Mr Swaminathan S Anklesaria Aiyar.

The author, presumably an experienced economist and a laudable social investor, volunteered to express his opinion on Russia’s role in violence in Ukraine, that was started in 2014 by Ukraine against its own people. Mr Aiyar may have missed that since he seems to operate the clichés spread by mainstream global media, which missed it too.

The Embassy wishes Mr Aiyar never demonstrated complete ignorance of the subjects he chose to opine on, i.e. Russia’s motivation and intentions, the sovereignty of states and indivisible European security as well as on who does respect the international law and who does not. Apparently Mr Aiyar distinguishes between good and bad invaders as the Embassy is unable to find public utterances of his on incessant US illegitimate assaults on sovereign countries all over the world. Not to mention his warmongering calls to continue bloodshed in Ukraine.

The Embassy deeply regrets that, but Mr Aiyar has the right to share his views even if he’s wrong unless he violates the laws of the land on public calls to war (it is in Russia).

What he (and the Economic Times) don’t have the right to do is to compare the Russian President with Hitler - the convicted international criminal and the symbol of atrocities of unimaginable scale. The Soviet Union, including Russia, lost 27 million lives in the Second World War at the behest of Hitler. Hitler professed and practiced misanthropy and no one has the moral right to draw any kind of comparison between Russia’s policy on Ukraine and Hitler’s crimes. Except those who suffered from the latters. These survivors, although very few are still with us, including those in Ukraine, should Mr Aiyar like to know, stand with Russia and its anti-Nazi campaign.

The Embassy believes that Mr Aiyar owes an apology to the Russian President and the Russian people who he insulted. We also demand that the Economic Times removes the unacceptable distorted images of President Vladimir Putin from its outputs.

We call on the Indian journalist community to refrain from low-rated dissemination of fakes, dubious and belligerent content and keep up to the commonly accepted norms of professional ethics based on providing a well-balanced and well-grounded analysis of situation from all sides without exception.

We also would like to remind about the Advisory to satellite TV channels over "unauthentic, misleading, sensational" coverage of events, including the Russian military operation in Ukraine, issued by the Indian Ministry of Information & Broadcasting in April 2022 (https://tinyurl.com/mr2btt3j).
