The capital of Soviet Ukraine had been under Nazi occupation for 778 days.
🕯 In Kiev the Nazis used a tactic of mass terror. More than 120,000 people were executed in Babi Yar alone. About 100,000 Kievans were deported to Germany for hard labour. By November 1943, the city’s population shrank to 180,000 people – all that was left from nearly a million residents in pre-war years.
Kiev suffered widespread damage over its time under Nazi occupation. The Assumption Cathedral of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra was destroyed, as were the public library, the conservatory, the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, and the city’s zoological museum. Kiev lost all of its bridges, overpasses, most medical institutions, 140 schools, 940 buildings that housed state and public institutions, over 800 industrial facilities, 1,742 blocks of flats, and 3,600 private residences.
The liberation of Kiev was more than just a strategic success of the Red Army and a major milestone on the way to expelling the Germans from the Ukrainian SSR, and reaching the border with Romania and Poland. It was a huge moral victory of the Soviet people over the Nazi invaders.

#MiddleEast
The situation in the conflict zone has taken an extremely negative turn with the confrontation entering a new dangerous phase on October 28, 2023. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) launched a ground operation in Gaza Strip
The number of victims is growing exponentially. The humanitarian disaster has been gaining momentum against the backdrop of the military escalation. It is in its early days and its ramifications will be felt for years and decades to come unless concrete steps are made to de-escalate.
There is a growing risk of this conflict spilling over across the region. The provocative military manoeuvring by the US in the Eastern Mediterranean is having a destabilising effect on the Middle East.
#IOC
We have noted the statement by a representative of the International Olympic Committee, who urged officials and athletes to not allow discrimination against Israel against the backdrop of the Gaza Strip conflict. It was said that the IOC adheres to the concept of individual responsibility and that athletes cannot be responsible for the actions of their governments. It was stated as an official position of the International Olympic Committee.
We cannot help but regard this statement as out of touch with the IOC’s deeply discriminatory attitude towards Russian and Belarusian athletes.
<...>
We strongly insist that the rights of all Russian and Belarusian athletes who suffered from the IOC’s deliberate politicisation of the sports agenda be restored.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement on the completion of the procedure for the Russian Federation's withdrawal from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE Treaty)
📃 At midnight on November 7, 2023, the procedure planned under the CFE for Russia's withdrawal from this agreement was completed. Thus, the international legal document, the operation of which was suspended by our country in 2007, has become history for Russia once and for all.
At the same time, two other legally binding agreements closely associated with the Agreement on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) − the so-called Budapest Agreement of November 3, 1990 on the maximum levels for holdings of conventional armaments and equipment for six member states of the Warsaw Treaty, and the Flank Document of May 31, 1996 − have also lost force for the Russian Federation as well
The Western participants overestimated their ability to influence Russia and our country's interest in the CFE Treaty. Given the destructive stance of the United States and its allies towards the Agreement on Adaptation of the CFE Treaty, Russia suspended the treaty's operation in 2007.
☝️ This aligned with the Munich speech by President Putin (February 2007), and became one of our country’s first steps to staunchly oppose the hegemony of the collective West and the West-imposed security concept based on arbitrary rules.
By suspending the CFE Treaty, Russia left the door open for a dialogue on ways to restore the viability of conventional arms control in Europe. However, our opponents did not take this opportunity and continued to base their policies on anti-Russian bloc principles rather than cooperation.
❗️ Given the direct responsibility of NATO countries for fuelling the Ukraine conflict, as well as the accession of Finland to the alliance and the ongoing consideration of a similar application by Sweden, even the formal preservation of the CFE Treaty has become unacceptable from the standpoint of Russia's core security interests.

#Ukraine
Not only have the people across the ocean opted to ignore the cruelty with which the Kiev regime has been using American weapons against civilians, but they even view this as something rather normal. We used to say that they probably failed to notice these developments. But no, they believe them to be the norm. This is the new normal for them, together with the fact that supplying more and more weapons to Ukrainian neo-Nazis causes hostilities to escalate and increasingly draws the United States into the conflict in and around Ukraine.
#MiddleEast
The Gaza Strip is under a ruthless blockade, which primarily affects the civilians. Gaza is experiencing a critical lack of fuel, food, and medications. The clean water shortage is fraught with a sharp deterioration in the sanitary and epidemiological situation.
We appreciate the initiation of the process for evacuating foreign nationals from the Gaza Strip to Egypt through the Rafah Border Crossing.
Along with addressing immediate de-escalation tasks, we consider it important to take steps to lay the foundation for relaunching a full-fledged political process in order to provide a comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue on a recognised international legal basis.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to questions from the "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" TV programme (November 12, 2023)
❓ Question: Regarding the acceleration [of Ukraine's progress towards EU membership], our source has told us that Kiev will be required to eliminate discrimination of minorities, but that the EU did not care about the Russian language.
💬 Sergey Lavrov: When Ukraine adopted its “anti-minorities” legislation, it caused an uproar in the European Union. Ukraine amended it and said this would not affect EU languages. Judge for yourself.
At that time, we talked with Hungary and other EU members who had compatriots living in Ukraine and said we hoped they would not just fight for exemptions for their own cultures, but will defend all the principles of international law concerning national minorities. So far, we have not seen that happening.
❓ Question: European leaders have stepped up their rhetoric insisting Ukraine should be admitted to the European Union as a matter of urgency. What does this indicate?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: I have no clue. Most of these statements have been made by Head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. They are preparing some recommendations, but they also admit that Ukraine has not fulfilled a significant part of the criteria. Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba says the EU should forget all about those criteria and admit Ukraine without conditions.
I have difficulty wrapping my head around this. It looks like some game, or an extension of the EU’s old policy. When the Soviet Union collapsed, they suddenly dropped all criteria and took the decisions to admit the Baltic States into the European Union for purely political reasons. They never fully met the conditions, but political expediency prevailed.

🎙 Statement by the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on the necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the US against Cuba
🔸 The US neo-colonial policies to impose unilateral sanctions against sovereign countries constitute a grave violation of the fundamental principles and norms of international law, and of the UN Charter.
🔸 The US sanctions against Cuba are illegitimate, unjust and destructive. It is an attempt to inflict harm on the people of Cuba, and undermine Cuba’s economic and humanitarian ties with other countries.
🔸 Russian senators share the concerns voiced by the international community regarding the extraterritorial actions undertaken by certain countries, including the so-called Helms–Burton Act adopted by the US in 1996, which violates the legitimate interests of individuals and entities within its scope, while also undermining the freedom of trade and navigation.
🔸 The Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation unequivocally demands the immediate cessation of the illegal economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States against Cuba.
🔸 The senators reaffirm their unwavering support for the people of Cuba in their courageous struggle for national sovereignty and independence in the face of US economic and political aggression.

#MiddleEast
• The cessation of hostilities and stopping of violence, is of huge importance to the civilians, but in historical terms, in sustainable settlement terms the second aspect of this problem, which is much more important, the creation of the Palestinian state is unavoidable.
• Of course, these days, Washington is highly ideologized. And anything coming from Russia is taken as a hostile act, hostile initiative. But on substance, in practical terms, Washington doesn't want to tie Israel's hands.
• Americans say that some pro-Iranian armed groups in Syria and Iraq are trying to attack American military sites. This is reported by the media. There is nothing new in this because these groups believe that the presence of the United States in Syria is absolutely illegal and this is a statement of fact.
#RussiaAfrica
• The most popular topic at the 2nd #RussiaAfrica Summit was that Africa does not want any longer to be a very rich continent which does not enjoy the richness it possesses, like in the colonial times, when most of the resources are being pumped raw into developed countries and then processed and sold with huge profit.
#Eurasia
• The Eurasian continent, especially the Asian part of the Eurasian continent, becomes a powerhouse of the world economy. Integration structures existing in Eurasia established close links between themselves.
• Greater Eurasian Partnership must be open to all countries and organizations situated on the Eurasian continent, leaving the door open [even] to those who believe that they are masters of the universe.
#MultipolarWorld
• The process of shaping the new world order will take time. It might be a historic era, a whole historic era.
• The reform of the United Nations is a must, if only because multipolarity brought to the key positions many new players who are not now represented in the Security Council as permanent members.

💬 We have never, during the last 30 years, tried to underestimate the importance of good relations with Israel and the importance of good relations with Israel’s Arab neighbors. And we played a role promoting peace on the basis of the final solution of this Middle East issue in accordance with the United Nations’ resolutions and decisions.
We have been a member of the Quartet of International Mediators from the very beginning of the functioning of this structure. The only structure recognized officially by the Security Council as having the mandate to mediate.
There were so many opportunities missed. There were so many attempts when a deal seemed to be close, so many attempts to replay the game.
☝️ But we keep our relations with both parties. <...> And we will continue to push for the immediate goal – the cessation of hostilities for humanitarian purposes.
👉 After that we all must take a deep breath and think how we restore Gaza, how we make sure that no one is expelled from Gaza. That there is no movement into Egypt and into Jordan of all those who used to live in Gaza, because this is what worries our Egyptian and Jordanian friends. And this would of course ruin all the resolutions of the Security Council that Gaza is Palestine, together with the West Bank.

⚡️ On the ongoing evacuation of Russian nationals from the Gaza Strip
🗓 On November 19, a special Emergencies Ministry flight arrived in Moscow from Cairo bringing the latest group of evacuees from the Gaza Strip, 120 Russian nationals and Palestinians (family members).
At Domodedovo Airport, a Foreign Ministry team provided them with the necessary assistance with paperwork and border and migration control.
In all, 558 out of around 900 Russian nationals and their family members who asked for assistance have been evacuated from the Gaza Strip; 408 of them have already been brought from Egypt to Russia aboard Emergencies Ministry aircraft.
The situation at the Rafah crossing remains complicated. The evacuation of foreign nationals is being conducted in stages, taking into account the ongoing hostilities and the limited capacity of the crossing.
The coordinated work of the Foreign Ministry and Emergencies Ministry crisis centres and other relevant agencies, as well as Russian diplomatic missions in Cairo, Tel Aviv, Ramallah and Doha continues. All the necessary measures are being taken to provide for the prompt and safe evacuation of our citizens from the Gaza Strip.
