11 апреля в 12:00:00,164 по московскому времени с площадки 1А космодрома Восточный проведен первый пуск ракеты-носителя «Ангара-А5» с разгонным блоком «Орион» и испытательной полезной нагрузкой.
Ракета-носитель отработала в штатном режиме, разгонный блок отделился от третьей ступени ракеты и в настоящее время выводит испытательную полезную нагрузку на заданную орбиту.
Это был шестой пуск российской ракеты-носителя в 2024 году, в том числе второй с Восточного. Для «Ангары-А5» данный полет стал четвертым в истории (в том числе первым с Восточного), для семейства разгонных блоков Д — 337-м в истории (в том числе первым для «Ориона»).
Ракета-носитель «Ангара-А5» изготовлена Государственным космическим научно-производственным центром имени М.В. Хруничева, разгонный блок «Орион» — Ракетно-космической корпорацией «Энергия» имени С.П. Королева (входят в Госкорпорацию «Роскосмос»).
Этим пуском начались летно-конструкторские испытания космического ракетного комплекса «Амур» с ракетами-носителями тяжелого класса «Ангара» на космодроме Восточный.
Ракета-носитель «Ангара-А5» — экологически чистая, не использует токсичные компоненты топлива, в отличие от ракеты-носителя «Протон-М», которую «Ангара» полностью заменит в ближайшей перспективе.

🎙 Statement by Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on Western arms deliveries to Ukraine
💬 The Kiev regime started to be pumped full with Western weapons at least 10 years ago. At first, this was done secretly, under the cover of the Minsk Agreements, and the corresponding Western activity was not publicized and was even denied. Now, however, all this has come to the surface and is not even concealed.
• Western elites find it more and more problematic keeping silent about the rampant corruption in Ukraine, the lack of control and accountability of the supplied equipment and ammunition and, consequently, the serious risks of their falling in the hands of terrorists.
• If Ukraine wanted peace, it would have achieved it long ago. Our justified and reasonable demands to our neighbor, which stand at the core of the SMO, are well known, and Ukraine is perfectly able to meet them without compromising its sovereignty and statehood.
• There is no doubt about the direct involvement of Ukraine in this horrendous and ruthless crime [in the Crocus City Hall]. The tracks of those who ordered it, as we can reasonably assert, lead to Kiev.
• The Investigative Committee of Russia has revealed that the money for organizing terrorist attacks on our territory came through commercial companies, including the oil and gas company “Burisma Holdings”, which has been operating in Ukraine and where the well-known Hunter Biden has been Board member since 2014.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement in connection with the attack on Israeli territory
💬 In the early hours of April 14, a large number of missiles and drones were launched at the territory of Israel.
According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, this attack was undertaken as part of the right to self-defence stipulated in Article 51 of the UN Charter in response to the attacks on Iranian targets in the region, including the strike on the consular section of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus on April 1, which our country strongly denounced.
Unfortunately, due to the position adopted by its Western members, the Security Council was unable to provide a proper response to the strike on the Iranian consular mission.
We express our extreme concern at yet another dangerous escalation in the region. We have repeatedly warned that the numerous unresolved crises in the Middle East, primarily in the area of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which are often fueled by irresponsible provocative actions, will exacerbate tensions.
☝️ We call on all parties involved in the conflict to exercise restraint. We expect the regional states to resolve the existing problems through political and diplomatic means. We believe it is important for the constructively-minded international players to contribute to this effort.

📅 On April 16, 1945, the Berlin Strategic Offensive Operation was launched. It led to the final rout of the main German Nazi forces, the seizure of Berlin and the linking up with the troops of the Western allies. Over 3.5 million people took part in this large battle for the future of Europe.
The main Soviet forces were those of the 2nd Byelorussian Front under the command of Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky, the 1st Byelorussian Front under the command of Marshall Georgy Zhukov and the First Ukrainian Front under the command of Marshall Ivan Konev. The Dnieper Military Flotilla, part of the forces of the Baltic Fleet and the 1st and 2nd Armies of the Polish Armed Forces were also involved in the hostilities.
The operation started with a night attack during which 143 searchlights were used to blind the enemy. Soviet attack forces quickly broke through the first line of enemy defences but later on, the troops of the 1st Byelorussian Front under Marshal Zhukov were faced with strong resistance on the Seelow Heights.
After fierce fighting on the approaches to the city on April 25, the troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front and the 1st Byelorussian Front linked up to the west of the Third Reich capital, having completed the encirclement of the German group. The fighting for Reichstag began on April 29.
By the late hours of May 5, the enemy resistance was finally suppressed and 134,000 German soldiers and officers surrendered. On the night of May 9, Marshal Zhukov together with representatives of the British, American and French commands accepted unconditional surrender of German troops in Karlshorst. The war in Europe was over.
☝️ During the Berlin operation, Soviet troops not only surrounded and defeated one of the Wehrmacht’s largest groups but also liberated about 200,000 prisoners of Nazi camps in the zone of hostilities. Over 600 participants in the operation were awarded with the title of the Hero of the Soviet Union.

🎙 Statement by Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question
🔸 For seven months now, the Middle East has been engulfed in a violent conflict that has already claimed the lives of more than 34,000 civilians in Gaza. The escalation is spiraling daily, spreading to other countries of the region, for whom the threat of a full-scale armed confrontation has started to loom for the first time in decades.
🔸 It took Washington six months to finally realize that it had lost all leverage over Israel and ended up in a situation where "the tail was wagging the dog" - when Tel Aviv was actually dictating its terms, demanding unconditional American support for any of its reckless decisions.
🔸 Israel's cleansing of Gaza has already set a historic anti-record for the death toll of UN humanitarian personnel - more than 240 people have been killed. <...> Israeli military has been hitting humanitarian convoys, blocking access, slowing down the passage of supplies. Western countries criticize them fiercely only if such actions kill Western citizens.
🔸 The disdainful attitude of the West towards certain states and their rights, dividing the world into friends, who stand above the law, and foes, whose legitimate interests can be ignored, has brought the Middle East to the brink of a major war.
🔸 The international community has failed (because of the position of one State, which has blocked all our efforts) to protect the Palestinians from the Israeli slaughter. Nor has it been able to alleviate their humanitarian suffering. Nor has it been able to stop the spiral of violence.
🔸 We are convinced that recognizing the status of Palestine as equal to Israel will contribute to a long-term settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the basis of the well-known international legal framework approved at the United Nations and reinforced by the Arab Peace Initiative of 2002.

🎙 Explanation of vote by Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia after UNSC vote on a draft resolution on admission of Palestine to full UN membership
💬 This day could have made history as the day when after three quarters of a century the global community finally made the right step towards improving the years-long historical injustice as regards Palestine and legitimate aspirations of its heroic people.
It was essentially a simple question whether the Palestinians deserve to be part of the world family and to participate fully in all decisions of international life. A question to which we have consistently responded “yes”, both when we admitted Israel to the United Nations and when we admitted dozens of states liberated from colonial oppression.
❌ However, our American colleagues see things differently. By exercising their veto power for the fifth time since the beginning of the escalation in Gaza, they have once again demonstrated their true attitude towards the Palestinians. For Washington, they do not deserve an independent state of their own.
They are only an obstacle to the implementation of Israel's interests. That is why the US is ready to turn a blind eye to Israel's crimes against the civilians of Gaza to the last, to ignore the illegal settlement activity of Israel in the West Bank.
The goal is to break the will of the Palestinians, to force them to unconditionally submit to the occupying power, to turn them into servants and second-class citizens and, perhaps, to expel them from their homeland. <...>
Indulging in the most reckless actions of its ally, unwillingness to seek just solutions within the existing international legal framework is a direct way to the abyss of war that could engulf the entire region. <...>
❗️ We call on the US to listen to the voice of reason, think about the consequences of its decisions, and urgently join the efforts of the other members of the Security Council to establish an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

🗓 On April 19, 1783, Empress Catherine the Great signed a manifesto on the accession of Crimea, Taman Island and Kuban region into the Russian Empire.
Prince Grigory Potemkin, Governor-General of Novorossiya, played one of the key roles in the accession and development of Crimea. In June 1783, on top of Mount Aq Qaya, he personally received the oath of allegiance to Russia from the Crimean nobility and common people.
The results of the 2014 all-Crimean referendum once again confirmed the desire of Crimeans to remain part of our country and led to the long-awaited reunification of Crimea with Russia.

📹 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s video address to participants in the Moscow Nonproliferation Conference
Key talking points:
• The arms control, disarmament and nonproliferation system crisis reflects unprecedented degradation in the sphere of international security.
• The West is balancing on the dangerous edge of a direct military confrontation between nuclear powers, which could have catastrophic consequences.
• The US-led collective West is cynically complementing the deliberate destruction of balanced and equal agreements that do not suit Washington with the promotion of apparently dishonest schemes that would create advantages for the United States.
• Striving to attain decisive military superiority, Washington and its allies are enlarging the network of alliances directed against other countries. They are working energetically to implement a number of highly destabilising military-technical programmes.
• There is no basis whatsoever for an arms control and strategic stability dialogue with the United States in the face of a total hybrid war being waged against our country.
• Moves to undermine the existing arms control and non-proliferation system are affecting the stability of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. <...> The Western countries have used the treaty for years to address political agendas unrelated to nuclear non-proliferation.
• The attempts of the Western countries to tailor the OPCW to their vested interests are a source of serious concern. The Western states have already turned this prestigious and strictly technical international agency into an instrument for implementing their geopolitical interests in the Middle East and beyond by privatising the OPCW Secretariat.
• We are convinced that to prevent further degradation of the world situation <...> all countries should pool their efforts to upgrade the international security system relying on the principles of multilateralism, equality and indivisibility.

💬 24 апреля вновь будет отмечаться Международный день многосторонности и дипломатии во имя мира. Эта дата была учреждена резолюцией Генассамблеи ООН 73/127 от 12 декабря 2018 г.
Калейдоскоп современных вызовов продолжает расширяться <...> Налицо острая необходимость в выстраивании эффективной и равноправной системы многостороннего сотрудничества.
Оптимальной «площадкой» для такого взаимодействия остается ООН, находящаяся в эпицентре мировой политики <...>
Вместе с тем в последние годы авторитет ООН заметно просел. Виной тому – деструктивный курс «коллективного Запада», который не оставляет попыток подчинить Организацию своим узкокорыстным интересам и навязать одиозную концепцию «миропорядка, основанного на правилах» взамен международного права. США и их сателлиты саботируют работу Совета Безопасности, опираясь на численное превосходство в этом органе.
Предпринимаются шаги по превращению Генассамблеи в рычаг давления на проводящие самостоятельную политику страны Мирового большинства. Засилье западников в руководстве Секретариата ООН оборачивается тем, что он все чаще отходит от беспристрастной линии, предписываемой статьей 100 Устава Организации.
🇷🇺 На этом фоне Россия, руководствуясь своей особой ответственностью, в том числе в качестве государства-основателя ООН и постоянного члена её Совета Безопасности, ведёт дело к полноценному восстановлению статуса ООН как «краеугольного камня» многосторонности. Важнейшим инструментом в этих усилиях становится Группа друзей в защиту Устава ООН, которая уже доказала свою эффективность в плане продвижения интересов Мирового большинства и противодействия неоколониальным замашкам «золотого миллиарда». Важную роль отводим Движению неприсоединения, которое объединяет 120 государств Глобального Юга, приверженных верховенству международного права.

Из выступления С.В.Лаврова в ходе открытых дебатов Совета Безопасности ООН на тему «Эффективная многосторонность через защиту принципов Устава ООН» (Нью-Йорк, 24 апреля 2023 года):
💬 Без малого 80 лет своего существования ООН выполняет возложенную на неё отцами-основателями важнейшую миссию. Несколько десятилетий базовое взаимопонимание пяти постоянных членов Совета Безопасности о верховенстве целей и принципов Устава гарантировало глобальную безопасность.
• Сейчас ооноцентричная система переживает глубокий кризис. Первопричиной стало стремление отдельных членов нашей организации подменить международное право и Устав ООН неким «порядком, основанным на правилах».
• Западным коллегам давно стало «неудобно» договариваться в универсальных форматах – таких, как ООН. Для идеологического обоснования курса на подрыв многосторонности в оборот введена тема единения «демократий» в противовес «автократиям». Создаются «клубы избранных», действующие в обход ООН.
• «Саммиты за демократию», «Альянс за мультилатерализм» <...> – все эти и другие неинклюзивные проекты задуманы с тем, чтобы подорвать переговоры по соответствующим темам под эгидой ООН.
❗️Давайте будем называть вещи своими именами: никто не разрешал западному меньшинству говорить от имени всего человечества. Надо вести себя прилично и уважать всех членов международного сообщества.
👉 Наша общая обязанность – сохранить ООН как выстраданный образец многосторонности и координации мировой политики. Ключ к успеху – совместная работа, отказ от претензий на чью-либо исключительность и – повторю в очередной раз – уважение суверенного равенства государств. Именно под этим мы все подписались, ратифицируя Устав ООН.

🌐 April 24 marks the International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace. Established by the UN General Assembly resolution 73/127 of December 12, 2018, it seeks to promote the values of the United Nations and reaffirm the faith of our peoples in the purposes and principles enshrined in its Charter.
🇺🇳 #UNCharterIsOurRules
From Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the UN Security Council’s open debates “Effective multilateralism through the Defence of the Principles of the UN Charter” (New York, April 24, 2023):
💬 For a little less than 80 years of its existence, the UN has been carrying out the important mission entrusted to it by its founders. For several decades, a basic understanding by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council as regards the supremacy of the charter’s goals and principles guaranteed global security.
• Today, our UN-centric system is going through a deep crisis. The main reason is a striving by some UN members to replace international law and the UN Charter with a certain “rules-based” order.
• Our Western colleagues have been inconvenienced by holding talks based on universal formats, such as the UN, for a long time now. In order to provide an ideological substantiation for the course on undermining multilateralism, they initiated a concept of united “democracies” as opposed to “autocracies.”
• Summits for Democracy, the Alliance for Multilateralism <...> – all these and other non-inclusive projects were designed to thwart talks on the corresponding matters under the auspices of the UN.
❗️ Let's call it what it is: no one authorised the Western minority to speak on behalf of all humankind. Please act decently and respect all members of the international community.
👉 It is our common duty to preserve the United Nations as the hard-won epitome of multilateralism and coordination of international politics. The key to success lies in working together, renouncing claims to anyone's exceptionalism and showing respect for the sovereign equality of states.

From Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the UN Security Council’s open debates “Effective multilateralism through the Defence of the Principles of the UN Charter” (New York, April 24, 2023):
💬 For a little less than 80 years of its existence, the UN has been carrying out the important mission entrusted to it by its founders. For several decades, a basic understanding by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council as regards the supremacy of the charter’s goals and principles guaranteed global security.
• Today, our UN-centric system is going through a deep crisis. The main reason is a striving by some UN members to replace international law and the UN Charter with a certain “rules-based” order.
• Our Western colleagues have been inconvenienced by holding talks based on universal formats, such as the UN, for a long time now. In order to provide an ideological substantiation for the course on undermining multilateralism, they initiated a concept of united “democracies” as opposed to “autocracies.”
• Summits for Democracy, the Alliance for Multilateralism <...> – all these and other non-inclusive projects were designed to thwart talks on the corresponding matters under the auspices of the UN.
❗️ Let's call it what it is: no one authorised the Western minority to speak on behalf of all humankind. Please act decently and respect all members of the international community.
👉 It is our common duty to preserve the United Nations as the hard-won epitome of multilateralism and coordination of international politics. The key to success lies in working together, renouncing claims to anyone's exceptionalism and showing respect for the sovereign equality of states.

🇺🇳 #OTD in 1945, a conference at which the United Nations was established and its Charter approved started in San Francisco. It was attended by 850 delegates from 50 states.
The idea to create an efficient universal security organisation emerged at the early stages of World War II. Its discussion intensified in 1943 against the backdrop of the Red Army’s victories over the Nazis near Stalingrad and on the Kursk Bulge.
The leading members of the anti-Hitler coalition drafted the foundations and structure of the future UN. The final decision to convene a conference in San Francisco was made at the Yalta meeting of the heads of the Big Three (the USSR, the US and Great Britain).
✍️ Proceeding from the proposals formulated at the Dumbarton Oaks conference in 1944, the delegates agreed on procedural matters and endorsed the main bodies of the UN and the principles of their operation. They also discussed the formation of the General Assembly, the Security Council, the International Court and the UN Secretariat.
The Soviet delegation took a most active part in the work of the conference. It was first headed by People’s Commissar of Foreign Affairs Vyacheslav Molotov and later by Soviet Ambassador to the US Andrey Gromyko. Here are the key achievements of Soviet diplomacy in San Francisco:
✔️ Inclusion into the UN Charter of the provisions on the need to settle and resolve international disputes by peaceful means;
✔️ The sealing in the Charter of the Security Council voting procedure that was agreed upon at the Yalta conference;
✔️ The inclusion of the Byelorussian and Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republics into the UN founding fathers.
☝️ The conference in San Francisco demonstrated the unity of the international community after the hard trials of World War II. The decisions adopted at that time laid a foundation for the postwar world order and created an effective mechanism for mutual international deterrence, which has allowed the world to avoid global conflicts for many decades.

🎙 Foreign Ministry statement on the 20th anniversary of UNSC Resolution 1540
April 28 will mark 20 years since the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 1540. It became the first decision in which this international body addressed the issue of non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in a comprehensive manner. The Russian Federation was at the origins of this resolution and acted as its co-author.
The resolution filled the void, which existed at the time of its adoption within the global security architecture. In fact, it emerged as the only universal legally binding document on the non-proliferation of WMDs, covering all their types, including nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, as well as their means of delivery and related materials.
Resolution 1540 offered states an important impetus for adopting effective measures at the national level to prevent WMDs, their means of deliver and related materials from getting into the hands of non-state actors, including terrorists. Its full implementation by all countries would constitute a genuinely global response to the proliferation challenge, which weighs on all members of the international community without exception.
🇷🇺 The Russian Federation reaffirms its commitment to the objectives of this resolution. Our country has adopted and continues to fine-tune measures aimed at ensuring its effective implementation and stands ready to carry on with its sustained and system-wide efforts, within the resolution’s framework, in the spirit of cooperation and non-interference in the sovereign affairs of other countries.
There is hope in Moscow that UNSC Resolution 1540 remains viable in today’s challenging international environment, while the international community makes the best use of its unifying potential for maintaining and ensuring peace and security.

🗓 On April 26, 1945, the Red Army liberated Brno from the Nazi invaders as part of the Bratislava-Brno operation.
In early April 1945, the Red Army expelled the Nazis from Bratislava and by April 22, units of the 2nd Ukrainian Front breached the Wehrmacht’s Moravia defensive line and encircled the Brno sector. The Soviet forces launched an attack on the Nazis the following day.
🏭 After Czechoslovakia was occupied, a highly important industrial centre Brno became a significant production hub of the Third Reich where Skoda and Zbrojovka weapons manufacturers were located. One of Auschwitz sub-camps was also located there.
For those reasons the Nazi invaders mounted desperate counterattacks in an effort to halt the Red Army’s onslaught. However, by April 25, Soviet units had already reached several sectors of Brno, engaging the enemy on the outskirts and crossing the Svitava River. By the evening of April 26, Soviet forces established control over the entire city. On the same day, Moscow ordered a 224-gun artillery salute to commemorate this event.
🎖 The 1st Czechoslovak Army Corps, under the command of Ludvik Svoboda, and Czechoslovak partisans played an active role in the liberation of Czechoslovakia, providing substantial support to the Red Army units. Six Czechoslovak citizens were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for their deeds during the Great Patriotic War, more than any other foreign nationals.
☝️ With the liberation of Brno, the Red Army was able to outmanoeuvre the remaining enemy forces on a broad front, preparing for a direct assault on the Nazi forces, occupying Prague.
