⚡️ Statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry on the unlawful actions of Western countries in the World Ocean (March 23, 2026)
The situation unfolding in the World Ocean lately has become absolutely unacceptable.
European states such as France, Sweden and Finland are stopping vessels they deem undesirable with impunity and escorting them to their ports, accusing them of violating some so-called “international” sanctions.
The pretext invoked is the need to enforce the unlawful restrictions imposed by the EU.
In pursuit of their goal of depriving Russia of revenues from international trade, the EU has invented the term “shadow fleet”, which does not exist in international maritime law, and is using it as cover for outright piracy on maritime routes.
❗️ Under far-fetched and strained pretexts, vessels that fully meet all the criteria for free and unimpeded navigation are being subjected to inspections and detentions.
We remind European leaders that the only sanctions that are truly international are those approved by the UN Security Council.
Unilateral illegal restrictions adopted by individual states or limited groupings thereof are neither international nor legitimate. The inconsistency of unilateral sanctions with international law has been repeatedly confirmed in UN General Assembly resolutions.
The West seeks to justify its actions by claiming that vessels sailing without a flag are allegedly not entitled to freedom of navigation and must therefore be detained. Interestingly, vessels operating under false flags in the interests of European states themselves somehow do not fall under such restrictions. What matters is not the flag, but the destination. If the oil is intended for Europeans, then no matter what vessel carries it, the European authorities somehow find no grounds for detention.
An especially outrageous violation of international law was the terrorist attack carried out by unmanned boats and drones against the LNG tanker Arctic Metagas, sailing under the Russian flag in the Mediterranean Sea. Not a single European state condemned those actions by their Ukrainian protégés. In this case, Europe is not merely a silent witness, but a direct accomplice in the lawlessness of the Kiev regime.
The Russian Side regards these practices by EU countries as unacceptable and impermissible, grossly violating both the letter and the spirit of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, and will use all political, legal and other instruments at its disposal to ensure respect for the principle of freedom of navigation. Those intent on turning the Baltic Sea, as well as other maritime areas, into the “internal waters” of NATO and the EU should understand that such acts of piracy and lawlessness will not go unanswered on our part, including through the use of all necessary means.
We call upon the international community to take a principled stand in support of the regime established by the 1982 Convention, and on flag states not to yield to neo-colonial diktat, but to unite in defending their legitimate interests and bona fide maritime carriers.
☝️ We are convinced that the Global majority is fully aware of all the threats and risks associated with the attempts by Western states to turn maritime spaces into a zone of confrontation, establish unilateral control over sea lanes and deprive nations of the world of sources of development.

🇷🇺🤝🇳🇴«А.С.Пушкин вдохновил меня на мир, а наша организация всегда стремилась строить мосты между народами», - сказал Турэ Нэрланд.
В Государственной Думе состоялась встреча Председателя Комитета по физической культуре и спорту Олега Матыцина и Первого заместителя председателя Комитета Государственной Думы по международным делам Светланой Журовой с делегацией норвежской организации «Велосипедное движение за мир» (Bike for Peace / BFP) во главе с основателем движения господином Турэ Нэрландом.
🔵 Деятельность организации «Велосипедное движение за мир».
«Велосипедное движение за мир» (Bike For Peace) основано в 1977 году и более 45 лет занимается продвижением миротворчества и ядерного разоружения через международные велопробеги, организовав более 115 акций в 120 странах. Организация имеет давнюю историю взаимодействия с Россией и СССР, начиная с 1970-х годов, включая совместные проекты с российскими НПО и планы на новые поездки в 2026 году. Деятельность движения и его основателя Туре Нэрланда получила широкое международное признание, включая номинации на Нобелевскую премию мира и государственные награды Норвегии и Казахстана.
🔵 Принципы честной спортивной конкуренции и недискриминации.
Председатель Комитета отметил, что недавно завершившиеся Паралимпийские игры 2026 года в Италии, где российские спортсмены выступали под своим флагом и гимном, стали важным подтверждением того, что спорт должен объединять, а не разъединять людей. И сегодня триумфом наших спортсменов восхищается весь мир, ведь делегация всего из 6 человек смогла занять третье место в медальном зачете.
🔵 Инициативы по развитию совместных спортивных проектов.
Россия открыта к совместным спортивным инициативам. Олег Матыцин пригласил представителей Норвегии, в том числе активистов движения «Bike for Peace», к участию в Международном фестивале молодёжи, который пройдёт с 11 по 17 сентября 2026 года в Екатеринбурге.
Господин Турэ Нэрланд поблагодарил за тёплый приём и содержательный диалог:
💭 По итогам встречи стороны подтвердили взаимный настрой на развитие диалога и реализацию совместных гуманитарных и спортивных проектов.

«В завершении приведу слова великого норвежского композитора Эдварда Грига „Слова иногда нуждаются в музыке, но музыка не нуждается ни в чём“.
Убеждён, что спорт, как и музыка, говорит на универсальном языке, который объединяет людей и помогает находить взаимопонимание между народами», — резюмировал Олег Матыцин.

⚡️ The Russian Union of Journalists has published a report – Inconsistencies in the Public Accounting of Killed Journalists in 2025:: A Comparative Analysis of CPJ, UNESCO and IFJ Materials.
📄 FULL REPORT (PDF / Telegraph)
❗️ The report is based on open sources and addresses a fundamental question: why do some cases of journalists being killed receive full international visibility, while others – despite being publicly recorded by international organisations such as #UNESCO, the International Federation of Journalists (#IFJ), and a number of international bodies – are effectively omitted from the statistics?
The analysis reveals inconsistencies between the Committee to Protect Journalists' (#CPJ) public reporting for 2025 and a number of cases involving Russian journalists whose deaths were recognized by other international bodies.
👉 This raises questions not only about the integrity of the record, but about the credibility of the entire international system for documenting journalists’ deaths.
The analysis was prompted by the observed discrepancy between the CPJ’s overall reporting on Ukraine for 2025 and a number of cases involving Russian journalists and media workers, whose deaths were recorded and commented on by other international organisations.
More specifically, on February 25, 2026, the CPJ reported that 129 journalists and media workers were killed worldwide in 2025 – the highest figure in the organisation’s history. In the same review, the CPJ stated that four journalists were killed in Ukraine in 2025. The organisation’s public materials lists a number of Ukrainian journalists and French photojournalist Anthony Lallican among those cases.
❗️ At the same time, several cases involving Russian journalists and media workers killed in 2025 do not appear in the CPJ’s open-source materials, despite public statements by the IFJ and UNESCO, and, in a number of instances, reporting by Reuters. They include:
▪️ Alexander Martemyanov
▪️ Alexander Fedorchak
▪️ Alexander Sirkeli
▪️ Andrey Panov
▪️ Anna Prokofyeva
▪️ Ivan Zuev
👉 The key question is not about disputing the figures or removing names already included in international lists. It is whether all comparable cases are being recorded publicly, consistently, and by the same standards.
That is why the focus of professional discussion should not be the slogan of “double standards” as such, but the specific gap between the CPJ’s published methodology and what can be observed in its public reporting on a number of 2025 cases.
When that consistency is missing – or left unexplained – it raises questions not just about one report, but about the credibility of the entire international system for documenting threats to journalists.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks at a meeting of Alexander Gorchakov Public Diplomacy Fund’s Board of Trustees (Moscow, March 24, 2026)
💬 Colleagues,
<...> In recent months and weeks we have witnessed dramatic developments in Latin America and the Middle East. These events are a direct outcome of the Western minority’s attempts to preserve what remains of its dominance in the international arena using crude force and disregarding earlier signed and ratified obligations under international law concerning civilised relations among all countries in accordance with the UN Charter.
The year began with an armed invasion of Venezuela by the United States. Dozens of people have been killed, and the legitimately elected president, Nicolas Maduro, and his spouse have been captured and taken out of the country. A brutal military aggression by the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran has been underway since late February.
The situation risks destabilising global trade, global energy security, and international transport and business communications, not just the Persian Gulf area, which it has already done, and the entire Middle East, which is a developing process. We can all clearly see all of that. Iran’s top leaders and civilian infrastructure, including nuclear energy facilities under IAEA safeguards, have been declared a legitimate target and are under attack.
I would say the IAEA leadership is failing to respond appropriately to direct threats to nuclear safety as a result of the aggression. Civilians are affected not only in the countries directly involved in the conflict - Iran and Israel - but in other countries in the region and the GCC countries which are Arab monarchies as well. <...>
Not long ago we reminded all our colleagues of a long-standing Russian initiative, namely, a Concept for Collective Security in the Persian Gulf, providing for interaction between the six Arab monarchies and the Islamic Republic of Iran, measures to ensure military transparency, confidence-building, and other, essentially straightforward, steps that have been earlier employed across the world, which would help calm and stabilise this critically important region.
☝️ We are convinced that this is the way forward. The path of negotiations, unity, and alignment of interests, rather than the attempts to force any country (especially the Islamic Republic of Iran) into following diktat imposed from abroad, serves the interests of this vital region of the world. <...>
The Western minority, or rather, the elites of Western countries, continue to invest their remaining political and economic capital in the confrontation with Russia, using for this purpose the human resources and military infrastructure of the neo-Nazi Kiev regime. The EU and NATO have kept this course of action unchanged. We hear EU and NATO leaders reiterate their position daily. <...>
The escalation of tensions around Cuba, which is facing increasing external pressure, is causing our serious concern. We stand behind our Cuban friends in their right to follow a sovereign path of development. We will continue to provide Havana with the necessary help and support, including material aid. Humanitarian aid is particularly important for our Cuban friends at this junction. <...>
Our foreign policy priorities remain unchanged amid this turbulence. They are designed to ensure national security, to create favourable external environment for the country’s internal development, and to improve the quality of life in our country. This is enshrined in the Foreign Policy Concept approved by President Vladimir Putin in March 2023. These goals remain unchanged.

🎙 Russian President Vladimir Putin's remarks at the Plenary Session of the 35th Congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (March 26, 2026, Moscow)
💬 Trust-based, substantive cooperation between the state and business is especially important today, when uncertainty and even stress has sharply increased across the world and on global markets.
We all remember the events of 2014, when Russia was compelled – indeed forced, as I have said many times – to take all necessary measures to protect our people in Crimea and later in southeastern Ukraine. What followed were illegal sanctions. They are illegal – I want to emphasize this – because they were never backed by UN decisions.
And now the armed conflict in the Middle East is making an ever more noticeable contribution to the current situation, inflicting significant damage on international logistics, production and cooperation chains. Entire sectors have come under strain – including those linked to the extraction and processing of hydrocarbons and metals, the production of fertilizers, and many other goods and commodities.
☝️ The consequences of the conflict in the Middle East are still difficult to predict with any precision. It seems to me that even those directly involved in the conflict are unable to forecast them, and for us this is all the more difficult.
Nevertheless, we must live and work under the conditions created by these developments. Comparisons are already being made with the COVID-19 pandemic, which, let me remind you, sharply slowed development across all regions and continents without exception.
It is no coincidence that such parallels are now being drawn with the recent pandemic. The events the international community has faced in recent years show that shocks in trade, investment and international relations in general are occurring ever more frequently. They are becoming the new reality, accompanying the transition of the global economy to a new state.
❗️ To meet the modern challenges, Russia must be strong, as well as united in its understanding of national interests, in addressing the immediate tasks before us, and in achieving our strategic development goals.

On a separate note, I would like to say that in today’s world and on global markets, success favors those who invest in technological innovation and continuously work to raise their efficiency to a qualitatively new level.
We will continue to encourage business investment in the modernization of enterprises and production capacities on the basis of domestic technological solutions. We will give particular support to the introduction of solutions in three key cross-cutting technologies – artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and digital platforms.
This work also offers scope for cooperation with foreign countries, including those from the fast-growing regions of the world – the Asia-Pacific and southern Eurasia. We plan to develop such cooperation further, as was also mentioned today, primarily through #BRICS.

💬 Trust-based, substantive cooperation between the state and business is especially important today, when uncertainty and even stress has sharply increased across the world and on global markets.
We all remember the events of 2014, when Russia was compelled – indeed forced, as I have said many times – to take all necessary measures to protect our people in Crimea and later in southeastern Ukraine. What followed were illegal sanctions. They are illegal – I want to emphasize this – because they were never backed by UN decisions.
And now the armed conflict in the Middle East is making an ever more noticeable contribution to the current situation, inflicting significant damage on international logistics, production and cooperation chains. Entire sectors have come under strain – including those linked to the extraction and processing of hydrocarbons and metals, the production of fertilizers, and many other goods and commodities.
☝️ The consequences of the conflict in the Middle East are still difficult to predict with any precision. It seems to me that even those directly involved in the conflict are unable to forecast them, and for us this is all the more difficult.
Nevertheless, we must live and work under the conditions created by these developments. Comparisons are already being made with the COVID-19 pandemic, which, let me remind you, sharply slowed development across all regions and continents without exception.
It is no coincidence that such parallels are now being drawn with the recent pandemic. The events the international community has faced in recent years show that shocks in trade, investment and international relations in general are occurring ever more frequently. They are becoming the new reality, accompanying the transition of the global economy to a new state.

🗓 25 марта представители ряда департаментов МИД России провели встречу с делегацией норвежской общественной организации «Велосипедное движение за мир» во главе с Т.Нэрландом, находящейся в Российской Федерации с визитом в целях демонстрации дружбы между народами России и Норвегии.
В ходе беседы была дана положительная оценка инициативе норвежских общественников посетить Россию в условиях гибридной войны, развязанной «коллективным Западом» против нашей страны, и царящей в Европе агрессивной русофобии.
Была подчёркнута особая востребованность народной дипломатии, позволяющей сохранять связи между народами двух стран, доносить до общественного мнения в Европе и, в частности, в Норвегии объективную информацию о России и российских подходах к происходящим в мире радикальным геополитическим изменениям.
Состоялся обмен мнениями о положении дел в отношениях России и Норвегии, находящихся в упадке по вине норвежских властей.
Российской стороной была констатирована глубокая обеспокоенность безудержным наращиванием военных потенциалов стран Северной Европы, включая Норвегию, подрывающим безопасность Арктического региона.
При обсуждении кризиса в отношениях между Россией и «коллективным Западом» были акцентированы его причины, сделавшие неизбежной специальную военную операцию, и контрпродуктивная линия европейцев на торпедирование переговорного процесса по мирному урегулированию.
