Хотим заверить – не получится. Действия Евросоюза не останутся без жесткого ответа. Россия будет и впредь обеспечивать реализацию жизненно важных национальных интересов без оглядки на санкции и их угрозы. Западным странам пора понять, что их безраздельное господство в мировой экономике давно осталось в прошлом.

Foreign Ministry statement on the EU’s role in the developments in Ukraine
👍3🤮2💩1
For many years, the European Union, posing as a peacemaker, lavishly financed the Kiev regime, which came to power in an anti-constitutional coup. The EU stood in silence while the population of Donbass was being exterminated and the Russian language was being strangled in Ukraine. It disregarded our endless calls to take notice of the predominance of Nazis in the Ukrainian authorities, and the socioeconomic blockade and murder of innocent civilians in the southeast of Ukraine. The EU conditioned its future relations with Russia on the implementation of the Minsk Package of Measures but has done nothing to encourage Kiev to start implementing its main provisions. At the same time, the EU gave Kiev money and visa-free travel and extended anti-Russia sanctions under far-fetched pretexts. The EU took part in Kiev’s performances, which put in question the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation.
Masks have now come off. The February 27 decision to send lethal weapons to the Ukrainian militarists is self-exposing. It has marked the end of Euro-integration as a “pacifist” project allegedly launched to reconcile European nations after WWII. The EU has irrevocably taken the side of the Kiev regime, which waged a policy of genocide against part of its own population.
Unbeknownst to themselves, the Brussels officials started using Orwell’s newspeak. They have announced the intention to “invest” in the war launched in Ukraine in 2014 through a mechanism with a self-explanatory name, the Europe Peace Foundation. The EU leadership unashamedly describes missiles, small arms, munitions and even combat aircraft as “defensive” systems.
The EU has shown the real worth of the rule of law in Europe, having disregarded all the eight criteria of its own “common position” of December 8, 2008 defining common rules governing control of exports of military technology and equipment (2008/944/CFSP), which explicitly prohibits the export of weapons and military equipment from the EU in the following cases:
1. if the country of final destination does not respect international obligations and commitments (Kiev disregarded its commitments under the Minsk Package of Measures approved by UN Security Council Resolution 2202);
2. if the country of final destination does not respect human rights, and if there is a clear risk that the military technology or equipment to be exported might be used for internal repression (Kiev is guilty of genocide in Donbass);
3. if an armed conflict is underway, and the deliveries could aggravate existing tensions or conflicts in the country of final destination;
4. if deliveries could hinder the preservation of regional peace, security and stability, and if there is likelihood of armed conflict between the recipient and another country;
5. if deliveries could endanger the national security of the EU member states (that the military technology or equipment to be exported could be used against the interests of the EU member states);
6. if there are doubts regarding the policy of the buyer country, in particular, its compliance with commitments on the non-use of force, and commitments to international humanitarian law and to non-proliferation and other areas of arms control (Kiev is not a shining example of compliance with these commitments, especially in light of the factual instances of grey schemes in arms exports from Ukraine);
7. if there is a risk that the military technology or equipment will be diverted to an undesirable end-user, including terrorist organisations (in light of the uncontrolled distribution of weapons in Ukraine, it is virtually guaranteed that some of them will eventually make their way to the shadow market);
8. if deliveries could disrupt the balance between militarisation and socioeconomic development of the recipient state (Kiev should pay more attention to the Ukrainian economy rather than use force to suppress dissent).
The EU citizens and agencies involved in the delivery of lethal weapons, fuel and lubricants to the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be held responsible for any consequences of

these actions during the ongoing special military operation. They should be aware of the severity of these consequences.
Another myth that has been exposed is the EU’s claim that its unilateral restrictions, which are incompatible with international law, are not directed against the Russian people. The Brussels officials, who only recently posed as a “strategic partner” of Russia, are saying openly that they intend to inflict the maximum possible damage on Russia, hit its weak spots, batter the Russian economy and “suppress Russia’s economic growth.”
We are sure that this is not going to work. We will provide a tough response to the EU’s actions. Russia will continue to ensure the implementation of its vital national interests, notwithstanding the sanctions or threats of sanctions. The Western countries should wake up to the fact that the days of their undivided rule in the global economy are long gone.

To fully understand the genesis of the current situation in Ukraine, how the rise of Neo-Nazism came to be and how the far-right Russophobic ideology and groups gained power over a brotherly nation one must take a retrospect view.
📣 World renowned filmmaker and actor, Academy award winner Nikita Mikhalkov tells and explains just that, with proven facts and archival footage to show the truth, in an emergency hour-long episode of his author's programme BesogonTV.
The Western mainstream media will never report on these facts, sweeping under the rug anything that damages the current anti-Russian narrative, hoping the audiences have no recollection of the sequence of the events. Watch to jog your memory.

Комментарий в связи с решением совета городского района Фрогнер (г.Осло) о присвоении перекрёстку возле Посольства России в Норвегии названия «Площадь Украины»
Если это будет сделано в нынешний напряжённый период, то это будет воспринято как антироссийская акция, будь то со стороны правительства или районных властей. Норвежцы должны отдавать себе в этом отчёт.
Тем более, что никакой площади тут нет: улица и переулок. Сама идея – очень американская. В старой Европе – другая традиция.
Кроме работников российского посольства в Норвегии проживают 25 тыс. россиян, спросили ли их?
Comment on the decision of the council of the city district of Frogner (Oslo) to name the intersection near the Russian embassy in Norway as “Ukraine Square”
In case this is done during the current tense period, it will be regarded as an anti-Russian action, whether by the government or the district authorities. Norwegians should consider this.
Especially since there is no square here - just a street and an alley. The idea itself is very American. The tradition in old Europe is different.
Beside the employees of the Russian embassy there are 25 thousand Russians living in Norway, were they asked?
Om beslutningen av Frogner bydelsutvalget å kalle veikrysset utenfor Russlands Ambassade i Norge som Ukrainas plass
Dersom det blir realisert i denne anspente tiden, så blir det oppfattet som antirussisk aksjon uansett kommer det fra regjeringen eller bydelsmyndigheter. Nordmenn må ta det til betraktning.
Dessuten er det ingen plass der, kun en vei og en gate. Selve ideen er veldig amerikansk. I den gamle Europa er tradisjonen annerledes.
I tillegg til russiske ambassadeansatte er det 25 tusen russiske folk i Norge, har noen spurt dem?

Комментарий Посольства информагентству «AFP» об учениях «Cold Response 2022»
Предстоящие крупномасштабные учения НАТО и стран-партнёров «Cold Response 2022» отражают общее стремление альянса к усилению своего присутствия на Севере Европы. Исходим из того, что любое наращивание натовского военного потенциала вблизи российских границ не способствует укреплению безопасности в регионе.
Официальная информация о приглашении российских наблюдателей на вышеупомянутые учения в Посольство не поступала.
The comment from the embassy to AFP on Cold Response 2022
The forthcoming large-scale exercise by NATO and partner countries, Cold Response 2022, reflects the alliance's general desire to strengthen its presence in northern Europe. We assume that any build-up of NATO military capabilities near Russia's borders does not help to strengthen security in the region.
The embassy has not received any official information on the invitation of Russian observers to the exercise.
Ambassadekommentar til AFP om Cold Response 2022-øvelsen
Den kommende storskala øvelsen av NATO og partnerland Cold Response 2022 gjenspeiler alliansens generelle ønske til å styrke sitt nærvær i Nord-Europa. Vi går ut på at økningen av NATOs militære potensial nær russiske grenser bidrar ikke til styrkning av sikkerhet i regionen..

🎙 Заявление МИД России в связи с обстрелом Донецка украинской стороной
Читать полностью
💬 14 марта около 11.30 украинская сторона выпустила по жилому кварталу Донецка тактическую ракету «Точка-У» с кассетным зарядом, запрещенным международным правом.
Ракета была сбита средствами ПВО, что позволило избежать катастрофического масштаба последствий. Однако даже само падение ее частей на мирный город привело к тяжелейшим жертвам – гибели 20 и серьезным ранениям 28 людей, включая детей, женщин и стариков.
@MID_Russia от лица народа и руководства нашей страны выражает глубокие соболезнования родным и близким погибших и правительству ДНР, желает скорейшего выздоровления раненным. Уверены, что это преступление против человечности не останется безнаказанным.

💬 At 11:30 am on March 14, Ukrainian forces hit a residential neighbourhood in Donetsk with a Tochka-U tactical missile with a cluster munition warhead prohibited under international law.
Although intercepted by air defence, preventing catastrophic losses, the downed missile still landed on the peaceful city and killed 20 and seriously wounded 28 people, including children, women and seniors.
On behalf of the people and leadership of our country, the Foreign Ministry conveys its deep condolences to the families and friends of the dead, as well as to the government of the Donetsk People’s Republic, and wishes a speedy recovery to the wounded. We are confident that this crime against humanity will not go unpunished.

(English below) ☝️🇷🇺 #Россия выполнит свои обязательства по обслуживанию и погашению государственных ценных бумаг вовремя и в полном объеме.
Для исполнения государственных долговых обязательств по еврооблигациям #Минфин будет давать платежные поручения банкам-агентам для осуществления выплат в валюте и сроки, предусмотренные соответствующей эмиссионной документацией. Возможность перечисления средств будет зависеть от санкционных ограничений в отношении правительства и Банка России.
Если иностранный банк-корреспондент не исполнит платежное поручение, оно будет отозвано. Исполнение обязательств в таком случае осуществляется в следующем порядке:
✅ Оплата по еврооблигациям будет проводиться в рублях по курсу #ЦБ на день платежа.
✅ В зависимости от того, где хранится сертификат выпуска еврооблигаций, Национальный кредитный депозитарий будет самостоятельно рассчитываться с кредиторами, либо переводить средства на обычные счета лиц и счета иностранных кредитных организаций.
«У нас есть необходимый объем средств для обслуживания наших обязательств», — подчеркнул министр финансов Антон #Силуанов.
❔Об исполнении своих обязательств банками-агентами по условиям эмиссий еврооблигаций Минфин будет информировать дополнительно.

☝️🇷🇺 #Russia will honour all its obligations to service and redeem government securities in a timely manner.
In order to repay its Eurobonds, the #FinanceMinistry will issue payment orders to agent banks instructing them to execute payments in foreign currency in keeping with the timeline set forth in the corresponding emission documents. Whether the funds can be transferred will depend on the restrictions resulting from sanctions imposed on the Government and the Bank of Russia.
If a foreign correspondent bank is unable to execute the payment order, it will be recalled. In that event, the following procedure will be used to fulfil the payment obligations:
✅ The Eurobonds will be repaid in roubles as per the exchange rate set by the #CentralBank as of the payment date.
✅ Depending on where the Eurobond certificate is kept, the National Settlement Depository will either proceed to settlements with the creditors on its own, or transfer funds to the accounts of individuals and foreign lending institutions.
“We have the required funds for servicing our debt,” Finance Minister Anton #Siluanov said.
