⚡️ 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.

#Ukraine
According to reports, between 20 and 36 percent of Western financial aid was misappropriated by Ukrainian officials, primarily the former leadership of the Ministry of Defence. What happened to that money next? That's a big question <...>
Maybe they should admit just once that they need to defend themselves not from Russia, not from the Kremlin, but from themselves, from the chaos and disarray in their heads that their Western puppeteers have created by instilling liberal values? <...>
The Kiev regime, accustomed to parasitising on others, is incapable of fighting the rampant corruption that has become the “signature piece” of modern Ukraine.
#Sanctions
Citizens and business circles in the European Union are increasingly wondering about the purposes of the sanctions and whether they are worth the sacrifice they have had to make as part of the sanctions war against the Russian people launched by their self-assured pro-Atlantic elite <...>
In the past 15 years, the EU’s share (without Great Britain) in the global economy has dropped from 25.3 to 16.7 percent while the share of the US has remained at around 25 percent. This is the logical outcome of the EU political elite bowing, like vassals, to the US course for the EU’s self-isolation from Russia.

🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on the 10th anniversary of the beginning of Ukrainian Euromaidan
💬 Anti-government riots started on Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) ten years ago, on November 21, 2013. They triggered the current disaster in Ukraine and, at the same time, took it to the point of no return.
Skilled US and European-trained provocateurs brought crowds of people into the streets under the attractive slogans of “a better European life,” visa-free travel to the EU countries, democracy, freedom of speech, human rights and an anti-corruption struggle. <...>
In January and February of 2014, artificially encouraged riots developed into an armed mutiny and ended in an anti-constitutional coup that was rejected by residents of many districts of the country.
The November 2013 events were triggered by the government’s decision to suspend the planned signing of the EU Association Agreement.
☝️I’d like to emphasise that it was only about the suspension of the signing of the agreement, not its cancellation. The problem was that the new commitments Kiev was to assume under the EU Association Agreement were at odds with its obligations to the CIS free trade zone. <...>
❗️In November 2013, the West and the radical neo-Nazi Ukrainian opposition went all-out to finally change Ukraine’s multi-vector course and put its economy and politics into the neocolonialist Western coordinate system. <...>
It is appropriate to ask today what the events on Euromaidan have given Ukraine?
👉 The answer is obvious. The self-sufficient, industrial and populous republic of the former USSR has turned into a poor, dying territory. Ukraine has lost its state independence. It is on the Western colonialists’ payroll who now determine its domestic and foreign policy. <...>
