#Ukraine
▪️ I often talk about this, but today I will show you several fragments of NATO munitions we have received from the Defence Ministry of Russia. These horrible “postcards” are designed for those in the EU and NATO countries who believe that their taxes and free donations serve the cause of peace. Look at them. There’s children’s blood on them, the blood of innocent civilians. These munitions were bought, produced and transported with the money of people in the EU countries who talk about peace every day and believe that this is important. Is the EU paying for this kind of peace? Is this the peace that EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell regards as ideal? Is this the peace the Western NGOs and media organisations are talking about?
#US
▪️ On August 24, the Global Engagement Centre at the US Department of State published a bulletin, The Kremlin’s War Against Ukraine’s Children, which contains a streak of absurd accusations against Russia relating to the issue of children. This is not just a piece of rampant misinformation distorting facts; it is in fact a terrible Goebbels-style fake narrative. Russia has never hidden what it has been doing in the interests of Ukrainian children who ended up in our territory. On behalf of President Vladimir Putin, most of the work in this area is being carried out by Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova, who regularly reports to the public, including the international community, on the situation regarding children evacuated from the war zone.

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova
💬 The Foreign Ministry has released a statement regarding the food deal and the supply of grain and fertiliser.
Let's, for the umpteenth time, use facts and figures to take a look at the situation concerning food security after the Black Sea Initiative was discontinued.
1. The grain deal did not help the poorest countries address hunger. Out of 32.8 million tonnes of food, just a trifle - less than 3 percent - were sent to the countries in need.
2. After the deal came to an end, grain prices continued to fall. In August, they fell by 4-5 percent.
3. The grain exported as part of the deal mainly went toward enriching Ukrainian animal feed producers. It was primarily intended for livestock and was shipped to Europe rather than Africa.
4. Ukraine is no longer the world's breadbasket. The country's share of global grain exports is only 5 percent and continues to shrink.
5. Ukraine's arable land is shrinking as well, partly due to contamination with radiation and toxins from depleted uranium munitions that Kiev has been using since the spring.
6. Europe is not helping Ukraine export grain. Since May, there has been a ban on grain shipments to EU countries bordering on Ukraine. This situation is likely to continue into the winter.
Now, let's discuss the UN Secretariat and the West being unwilling to act on their obligations to Russia under the deal.
1. To make the deal work, it is necessary to reconnect Rosselkhozbank to SWIFT. Instead, what we are witnessing are endless discussions about creating intermediary mechanisms through subsidiary enterprises and partner banks (without implementation guarantees). Rosselkhozbank accounts are being closed altogether.
2. There has been no progress on insuring Russian ships. We’ve seen nothing but promises to take care of things “later.” A special insurance platform mechanism has not been created.
3. The unlocking of assets is only to be discussed after the humiliating process of companies acknowledging their “sanctioned status.” Again, without any guarantees.
4. The UN remains silent with regard to resuming the Toglatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline’s operation, which could provide fertiliser to tens of millions of customers.
5. We invited the UN to join in a discussion, but Rebeca Grynspan who is in charge of the deal on behalf of the UN, is unwilling to come to Moscow or even send reports about her activities.
Finally, let's talk about how Russia is actually addressing the issue of hunger in the world, without any “deals.”
1. Russia has already sent or will soon send:
• 20,000 tonnes of fertiliser to Malawi;
• 34,000 tonnes of fertiliser to Kenya;
• 23,000 tonnes of fertiliser to Zimbabwe;
• 34,000 tonnes of fertiliser to Nigeria;
• 55,000 tonnes of fertiliser to Sri Lanka;
• 200,000 tonnes of wheat to Somalia, the Central African Republic, Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, and Eritrea.
2. A project is being developed jointly with Ankara and Doha to deliver 1 million tonnes of grain (!) to Türkiye where it will be processed and shipped free of charge (!) to the poorest countries.
It turns out that while Europe was exporting animal feed grain from Ukraine across the Black Sea as part of the deal, efforts were made to block and to create loss-making circumstances for Russian agriculture. The UN failed to resolve the situation.

📅 On September 7, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov attended the 18th East Asia Summit (#EAS) held in Jakarta.
During the exchange of views on the main issues on the Asia-Pacific agenda, the Minister informed his partners on Russia’s consistent approach to strengthening the architecture of equal and indivisible security in the region and ensuring its high development pace. He highlighted the importance of maintaining the mechanisms of multilateral cooperation within the framework of #AEAN coordinates in the spirit of a constructive non-politicised dialogue and creative cooperation based on the principles of consensus, mutual respect and a balance of interests.
☝️ Sergey Lavrov pointed out the risks of militarisation in East Asia in light of NATO’s efforts to install its forces and infrastructure in the region based on the West-created bloc mechanisms for network deterrence and the promotion of #AUCUS confrontational project, which provides for the deployment of a military strategic complex with a nuclear component in the region.
He emphasised the importance of building up practical effort within the EAS framework, including the implementation of the Russian initiatives on responding to epidemic threats, developing the tourism industry, and establishing sustainable ties between volunteer organisations in the Asia-Pacific region.
🤝 The Minister reaffirmed Russia’s resolve to create a solid framework of interstate cooperation in the region through the alignment of the capabilities of multilateral mechanisms that are working in the spirit of positive co-development, including the strengthening of constructive interaction between ASEAN, #SCO and #EAEU.

Situation in Yemen
• We note positive developments in Yemen against the backdrop of regional normalization.
• We firmly believe that resuming the comprehensive truce will contribute to a lasting political settlement in the country.
• We insist on the need to engage in UN-brokered negotiation with all parties to the conflict.
• We support the work of the UN Secretary General's Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg.
• Assisting the Yemeni people in overcoming a major humanitarian catastrophe is one of the key tasks.
❌ We oppose the excessively broad interpretations of the UNSC resolutions on sanctions against Yemen. Restrictive measures should be used to promote peaceful settlement rather than fuel political turbulence in the region.
☝️ We note with concern that certain foreign naval presences manipulate the UNSC decisions when conducting inspections of vessels in waters off the Yemeni coast.

🗓 The Siege of Leningrad - one of the most challenging and tragic periods in the history of the city - commenced on September 8, 1941.
In early September 1941, German and Finish forces cut off Leningrad from overland routes, encircling the city. The Nazi invaders’ plans included erasing the city from the face of the earth and annihilating all its residents.
By November, food supplies were running low, and bread rationing was cut down. Workers were given 250 grammes of bread, while others received 125 grammes. The harsh winter exacerbated the hardships faced by the people of Leningrad.
The only hope for salvation for hundreds of thousands of city residents was evacuation or the delivery of food across Lake Ladoga by water in the summer and over the ice in the winter. This route became known as the Road of Life.
Despite the unbearable conditions, industrial enterprises in Leningrad continued to operate. During the siege, the city's workforce produced and repaired about 2,000 tanks, 1,500 aircraft, 850 combat ships and vessels.
🕯 The siege lasted a terrifying 872 days and was lifted on January 27, 1944, during the Leningrad-Novgorod Offensive. During this time, approximately 1 million residents died, with over 600,000 of them succumbing to hunger.
The Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery, which is the largest mass grave of World War II, is the most well-known memorial to the victims of the siege. It is the resting place for more than 420,000 residents of Leningrad and 70,000 soldiers who participated in the defence of the city.
☝️The blame for the deaths of the people of Leningrad lies entirely with the Nazi command. Nevertheless, the decision to provide compensation to the survivors of the siege was only made by the German government in 2021. It should be noted that this compensation is not extended to all survivors, leading many of the latter who are still alive today to call upon the government of Germany to expand humanitarian payments to include all siege survivors.

🇷🇺 Russia's position at the #UNGA78 regarding food security 🌾
☝️ We note the need to uphold the central role of the Rome-based international organizations — the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the United Nations World Food Programme and the International Fund for Agricultural Development — in coordinating international efforts to strengthen global food security, eliminate hunger, improve nutrition, and ensure sustainable agriculture and rural development.
We are actively engaged in the follow-up to the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit to transform food systems. We assume that the transformation of international food systems should take into account national priorities and specific circumstances.
We oppose Western countries' attempts to hold Russia responsible for the global food crisis.
👉 In our contacts with friendly states and within various international fora, we endeavour to explain the real consequences and impact of the unilateral restrictions imposed against us.
❗️ We consider it crucial to prevent the politicization of international cooperation in the agrifood sector and the provision of humanitarian assistance, as well as the instrumentalization of the anti-famine agenda for commercial, economic and geopolitical purposes.
👉 We pay particular attention to ensuring stable and uninterrupted food supply chains and correcting distortions in the fertilizer market, primarily for the benefit of those in need in developing countries.

По нашим данным, наиболее распространенные причины аннулирования шенгенских виз у россиян в Норвегии: несоблюдение правила «первого въезда» в выдавшую визу страну и требования преимущественного пребывания в оформившем визу шенгенском государстве, несоответствие реальной цели поездки и заявленной при подаче заявки на визу, отказ/невозможность подтвердить сотрудникам норвежской полиции реальную цель поездки.

🏰 On September 11, 1812, a Russian community was founded 80 kilometres to the north of San Fransisco. The Americans called this community Fort Ross, which became the farthest settlement of Russian colonists and the southern vanguard of the Russian Empire in North America.
The beginning of the so-called Russian America on the northwestern coast of the American continent was marked by the discoveries made by the 2nd Kamchatka Expedition of Vitus Bering and Alexey Chirikov. They were followed by entrepreneurs who traveled there in search of furs. Thus, at the beginning of the 19th century, merchant and Chief Manager of Russian America Alexander Baranov decided to build a fortress, where he founded a Russian community in California.
🇷🇺 From May to September 1812, construction continued on the purchased land; a fortress and a village were built. On August 30 (September 11 OS) the Russian-American Company flag was hoisted over the fortress, a Russian tricolor with the imperial double-headed eagle.
Fort Ross is located on the coast in Northern California a 2.5-hour drive to the north of San Francisco. Most of the fort’s area has been restored with the initial layout preserved.
☝️ The population of the fortress was mixed and comprised Russians, Native Americans and Aleuts. Interestingly, the settlers lived peacefully side by side with the local people, and additionally gave them primary education and professional skills, with many Native Americans becoming carpenters, blacksmiths and shipbuilders at Fort Ross.
⛪️Life at the fort was built mostly around a Russian Orthodox Church, a shipyard and fruit orchards. Our ancestors hunted the sea otters and sea lions that inhabited the coastline. Their fur was exported to Russia, among other countries.
Today, Fort Ross, located on the picturesque coastline and at the expanse of the Pacific Ocean, attracts visitors from all over the world so they can see the Russian fortress that was restored to its original look.
The beginning of the so-called Russian America on the northwestern coast of the American continent was marked by the discoveries made by the 2nd Kamchatka Expedition of Vitus Bering and Alexey Chirikov. They were followed by entrepreneurs who traveled there in search of furs. Thus, at the beginning of the 19th century, merchant and Chief Manager of Russian America Alexander Baranov decided to build a fortress, where he founded a Russian community in California.
🇷🇺 From May to September 1812, construction continued on the purchased land; a fortress and a village were built. On August 30 (September 11 OS) the Russian-American Company flag was hoisted over the fortress, a Russian tricolor with the imperial double-headed eagle.
Fort Ross is located on the coast in Northern California a 2.5-hour drive to the north of San Francisco. Most of the fort’s area has been restored with the initial layout preserved.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Russia's position at the seventy-eighth session of the UN General Assembly:
Afghanistan
We have consistently pursued the policy of facilitating national reconciliation and settlement in Afghanistan, as well as maintaining stability and making it a state free from terrorism and drugs. We are seriously concerned about the growing influence of ISIL and the threat of its terrorist activities spilling over into Central Asia.
We stand for sustained and pragmatic interaction of the international community with the Taliban de facto authorities. We are convinced that expanding dialogue with Kabul is in the interests of the security and economic development of the entire region.
We will continue work within credible multilateral platforms, such as the Moscow Format of Consultations, the Neighbouring Countries of Afghanistan mechanism, the regional Quartet (Russia, China, Iran and Pakistan), as well as within regional organizations, primarily the CSTO and the SCO. We have taken steps to establish a new regional Five format involving Russia, China, India, Iran and Pakistan.
We believe that the US and its allies, who are responsible for the critical situation in Afghanistan following their 20-year presence, should bear the major costs of the post-conflict reconstruction of the country.
We attach great significance to the activities of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, first and foremost in the context of increasing humanitarian support to the local population, creating conditions for an early unfreezing of Afghan assets and mobilizing donor funds to revive the national economy.
