⚡️ Statement by the Council for Inter-Ethnic Relations and Interaction with Religious Associations within the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation in connection with the desecration of the Quran, the holy book of Islam, with the connivance of the authorities of the Kingdom of Sweden.
The Council for Inter-Ethnic Relations and Interaction with Religious Associations <...> firmly condemns the act of vandalism perpetrated against the Quran (Koran), the holy book of Islam, in Stockholm, the Kingdom of Sweden.
❗️ The fact that it was carried out with the approval of state and municipal authorities makes it even more appalling. This is not the first monstrous incident offending believers’ feelings in the Kingdom of Sweden. It constitutes a blatant violation of human rights and dignity. Moreover, this time it took place on the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.
<...>
The Council for Inter-Ethnic Relations and Interaction with Religious Associations <...> supports the position of Muslim states and religious communities regarding the sacrilege committed in the city of Stockholm, as well as the anti-Muslim position adopted by the authorities in the Kingdom of Sweden and other countries of the collective West. This barbaric attitude of the so-called civilised countries has no place in a multipolar world order established in the interests of the international community, with the collective West seeking to place itself in opposition to its values and sacred sites.
<...>
☝️ It is obvious that the European Union shares the anti-Muslim attitude adopted by the authorities in the Kingdom of Sweden as consistent with the so-called European values.
The Council for Inter-Ethnic Relations and Interaction with Religious Associations <...> calls on the parliaments of countries around the world and international parliamentary organisations to publicly condemn the radicals and their patrons.

🎙 Statement by the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on insulting the religious feelings of Muslims in Sweden
❗️ Members of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation join all Muslims around the world in stating their indignation over the decision by the Swedish authorities to authorise a protest on June 28, 2023, the day of the Eid al-Adha holiday, near the central mosque in Stockholm where a copy of the Quran (Koran), the holy book of Muslims, was set on fire.
The Swedish authorities authorised the protest, knowing in advance that a crime would be committed with the aim of offending the religious feelings of millions of believers around the world and inciting inter-ethnic strife and hatred. Actions of this kind shatter peace and security at their very foundation and undermine good relations among nations and countries, while laying the groundwork for extremist acts and constituting a gross violation of the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter.
Members of the State Duma firmly condemn this new immoral act approved by the Swedish authorities and call on them to take measures in order to prevent violations of the rights of Muslims or blasphemy. Desecrating practices have nothing to do with freedom of expression or religion or democratic principles.
Members of the State Duma stand for defending religious rights and believe that respecting the holy books of the leading world religions as objects of spiritual value and an integral part of the cultural and historical heritage of these religions is one of the hallmarks of a civilised society.

❌Fake news:
Russian troops attacked a civilian facility in #Kramatorsk, killing and injuring visitors to the cafe. This was reported by Anton Herashchenko, an aide to the head of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry.
✅The fact:
The strike targeted the location of foreign mercenaries who were staying at the Kramatorsk hotel and eating at the hotel's cafe. Booking services confirm that the hotel was closed to civilian visitors. In September 2022, the Russian Armed Forces had already conducted strikes (https://t.me/ilovekramatorsk/4510) against this Ukrainian military location.
The video from the scene shows a large number of people in military uniforms and bulletproof vests, as well as military vehicles. In addition, the English language can be clearly heard. According to Russian journalists (https://t.me/boris_rozhin/90557), foreign mercenaries and officers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces may have been staying at the hotel. This information was later confirmed online. One of the volunteers posted photos together with the foreign instructors on her Instagram page, noting their accounts and geolocation. After the shelling, one of these accounts confirmed that the strike took place while the foreign mercenaries were eating.
Tactical (https://is.gd/pW2liL) signs of the Ukrainian military are clearly visible on the pickup trucks parked in front of the hotel: crosses and runes. The white cross is the main tactical sign of the Ukrainian army, and the runes are the tactical signs of the units. A Ukrainian military medical service vehicle was also seen. They do not come to pick up wounded civilians: even in towns near the battlefield, civilians are picked up by regular ambulances.
Herashchenko, who is trying to demonize Russian forces, posted photos of vehicles with red crosses. However, other Ukrainian military vehicles were also captured in the frame. So the faker himself helped expose the fake.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov’s interview with the Great Game programme on Channel One (June 28, 2023)
Key talking points:
• The United States and the #West in general have a knack for cancelling everything that fails to meet their interests. They cancel contemporary history, in particular when dealing with periods leading to conflict or crisis. #NATO’s expansion is a process – it planted the seeds which produced such an ugly yield.
• Putting the blame on Russia and accusing it of an “unprovoked” aggression are an attempt to absolve themselves of responsibility.
• If any other country were to resolutely and firmly defend its national interests in such a way, I'm sure the West would turn against it, too.
• Josep Borrell, who is considered the head of European diplomacy, is, in fact, serving the interests of the United States in Europe. On his watch, the EU has become Washington’s obedient follower.
• The “rules-based order” is all about them deciding what kind of globalisation system exists in the world, what its service mechanisms will be like, and how trade disputes are resolved.
• The West is obsessed with preventing the formation of a democratic world order, a multipolar order, and they are using every opportunity to assert their hegemony. They see #Ukraine as a tool to prevent the emergence of a multipolar world.
• In Ukraine, we are at war against the West and against #Nazism, which is being thoroughly cultivated by our Western colleagues.

⚡️ The West is sowing chaos and wrecking havoc across the globe. As a result of the Western states' reckless policy the challenges and threats to international security have escalated manifold.
The current global crisis is largely instigated by a small group of countries, which try to regain their once dominant position by any means possible, thus sustaining the outgoing unipolar world order.
Meanwhile new influential players and economic centres are emerging. More and more countries are rejecting the West's imposed neoliberal model and the authoritarian hegemonic trajectory of world relations. This is manifested in their desire to pursue truly independent foreign policies.
☝️ Russia continues to build mutually beneficial partnerships with these countries with the goal of establishing new standards for multilateral cooperation in order to solve common problems and protect national interests, as well as achieving economic integration and interaction in various spheres.

Об инициативе Большого Евразийского партнерства
❗️Из видеообращения Министра иностранных дел Российской Федерации С.В.Лаврова в рамках VIII Международной конференции «Россия и Китай: сотрудничество в новой эпохе»
«С удовлетворением констатирую уплотнение нашего взаимодействия в рамках ООН, «Группы двадцати», #ШОС, БРИКС и на других многосторонних площадках. Ведем работу по сопряжению интеграционных потенциалов #ЕАЭС и инициативы «Один пояс, один путь» с прицелом на формирование Большого Евразийского партнерства. Очевидно, что наши совместные шаги на мировой арене способствуют снижению конфликтного потенциала и оздоровлению международной обстановки».
❗️Из выступления Посла России в Китае И.В.Моргулова:
«Одним из важных приоритетов является развитие российско-китайской торгово-экономической кооперации. По итогам 2022 г. двусторонний товарооборот достиг рекордных 185 млрд долл. <...> Немаловажным в данном контексте является работа по сопряжению строительства Евразийского экономического союза и китайской инициативы «Пояса и пути».

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s briefing on a wide range of international issues, including humanitarian aspects in the context of developments in Ukraine (Moscow, June 30, 2023)
Key topics:
🔹 Global transition to a multipolar world order
🔹 Western attempts to maintain its dominance
🔹 Humanitarian situation in Ukraine
🔹 Peace talks on the Ukrainian crisis
🔹 Kiev regime’s crimes against children
🔹 Black Sea Grain Initiative
🔹 US biolabs in Ukraine
🔹 Zaporozhye NPP
🔹 Russia's military cooperation with Africa

💬 FM Sergey Lavrov: The current events reflect the fundamental transition from centuries-old Western dominance to a more democratic multipolar world with better justice for all.
The West is doing everything it can to resist this trend by devising containment strategies and seeking to suppress its competitors, i.e., anyone acting independently in international affairs guided by their own national interests instead of following the so-called rules imposed by the United States and its allies.
The global majority refuses to live by the Western rules and stands for universal international norms with the UN Charter as their primary source of reference. Our objective consists of fulfilling all the principles contained in the Charter without exception and in full, rather than selectively, and considering their intertwined nature.
☝️ The overwhelming majority of nations share this view.

Ambassador’s Comment
I paid attention to another “creative” product of J.Eyal, published in the Straits Times on June 4, 2023 under the title "Vladimir Putin: The indispensable weak Russian leader". This is certainly another example of irresponsible verbal balancing act.
If you trust the author, then the very existence of Russia and its powerful statehood, an advanced electoral system, a powerful economic and military-industrial complex, an enlightened, patriotic and enterprising people are just a consequence of the goodwill of the West and its compassionate attitude towards Russia, its President V.V.Putin and unwillingness to launch “regime change” in the Russian Federation.
Such statements just do not really fit with the facts. Apparently, the memory failed the author, busy with Russophobic writings, and he forgot about such "little things" as the unrestrained untwisting of confrontation aimed at weakening and subverting Russia, surrounding it with sanctions, feeding the destructive non-systemic opposition, interference in elections and direct spurring of mass anti-government demonstrations with the ultimate goal of decomposition and undermining the constitutional order.
And apparently only overwork can explain the fact that the author somehow forgot about the hybrid war unleashed by the West from the territory of Ukraine, which crowned its efforts to revive bloc confrontation in Europe and the world, designed to somehow stop the decline of Western hegemony and the processes of formation of humane and fair multipolar world.
Well, we condole with the author; we wish him a good rest. Meanwhile, I have to remind you that with its long and glorious existence, its convincing political and economic achievements, its well-deserved prestige on the world stage, its choice of own unique path of development and finally the election of President V.V.Putin, who enjoys popular sympathy and support, Russia owes itself, all the people and countries of the world majority, and not to the goodwill of the West. This fully applies to the events in Ukraine, the ongoing special military operation there, Western assessments of which are not accepted by the vast majority of humanity.
I would advise you not to forget about this, so that instead of a future multipolar world based on the principles of equality and cooperation, you do not end up in the caves of the Cold War under stalactites of confrontation and among the wreckage of scrapped Russophobia.

🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin's speech at the meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (#SCO) Heads of State Council, 4 July 2023 (excerpts)
🔗 Read in full: https://vk.cc/cpemko
💬 President Putin: We believe it is important that all members of the association share their approaches to the situation in global politics, security, the social and economic spheres.
☝ At the same time, our organisation is strongly committed to creating a truly just and multipolar world order, an order based on international law and common principles of mutually respectful cooperation between sovereign states with the central, coordinating role of the United Nations.
<...>
For a long time, external forces have been implementing a project near our borders to create from our neighbour, Ukraine, a de facto hostile state, an “anti-Russia.” They funnelled weapons into it for eight years, condoned aggression against the peaceful population of #Donbass and indulged in every way in planting neo-Nazi ideology.
❗ And all this was done in order to jeopardise Russia's security and stifle our country's development. We are now, in fact, being subjected to a hybrid war, with illegitimate anti-Russian sanctions that are unprecedented in scale. I would like to stress that Russia is confidently resisting and will continue to resist external pressure, sanctions and provocations.
And in the current climate, our country continues to develop steadily. The Russian people are more consolidated than ever. The unity and high responsibility for the fate of the Fatherland was clearly demonstrated by the Russian political circles and the whole of society in uniting against the attempted armed rebellion.
🤝 I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation member states who have expressed their support for the Russian leadership in defending the constitutional order, lives and security of its citizens. We greatly appreciate this.
We intend to continue to deepen ties with members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. These ties are becoming stronger and more diverse. #Russia’s trade with SCO member states has increased by over one third, or 37 percent, reaching a record high of US$263 billion last year. From January to April this year, it went up by another 35 percent.
We are making wider use of national currencies for mutual settlements. In particular, over 80 percent of commercial transactions between Russia and the People’s Republic of #China are made in rubles and yuan. The share of the Russian national currency in export transactions with all the SCO countries exceeded 40 percent in 2022.
<...>
Friends, I would also like to point out that Sochi will host the World Youth Festival on March 1–7, 2024. It will be the biggest international-level youth event, bringing together active, passionate young people from all over the world. Over 20,000 people from more than 180 countries are expected to take part.
<...>
☝ It is a matter of satisfaction that the authority and influence of our association continue to improve, and other countries and international structures show interest in its activity. Many of them are striving to build an equal dialogue with the SCO and considering getting involved in its work. They trust us and want to be friends and work together.

I would like to stress that Russia is confidently resisting and will continue to resist external pressure, sanctions and provocations.
And in the current climate, our country continues to develop steadily. The Russian people are more consolidated than ever. The unity and high responsibility for the fate of the Fatherland was clearly demonstrated by the Russian political circles and the whole of society in uniting against the attempted armed rebellion.
🤝 I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation member states who have expressed their support for the Russian leadership in defending the constitutional order, lives and security of its citizens. We greatly appreciate this.
We intend to continue to deepen ties with members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. These ties are becoming stronger and more diverse. #Russia’s trade with SCO member states has increased by over one third, or 37 percent, reaching a record high of US$263 billion last year. From January to April this year, it went up by another 35 percent.
We are making wider use of national currencies for mutual settlements. In particular, over 80 percent of commercial transactions between Russia and the People’s Republic of #China are made in rubles and yuan. The share of the Russian national currency in export transactions with all the SCO countries exceeded 40 percent in 2022.
<...>
Friends, I would also like to point out that Sochi will host the World Youth Festival on March 1–7, 2024. It will be the biggest international-level youth event, bringing together active, passionate young people from all over the world. Over 20,000 people from more than 180 countries are expected to take part.
<...>
☝ It is a matter of satisfaction that the authority and influence of our association continue to improve, and other countries and international structures show interest in its activity. Many of them are striving to build an equal dialogue with the SCO and considering getting involved in its work. They trust us and want to be friends and work together.

SCO Heads of State Council meeting
The President took part in a videoconference meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Heads of State Council.
🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with «Rádio e Televisão de Portugal» (Moscow, 30 June 2023)
Key talking points:
🔹Ukrainian crisis
They [the West] are using Ukraine as an expendable material, drugging Ukrainian soldiers for them not to feel any pain and driving them to the front lines like cattle. President Putin said (http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/71496) a few days ago that the entire economic, war and information machine of the West is working against us. Media lies are off the charts.
🔹Russia-NATO
We have heard lots of lies and false promises from the West. I’m not saying this to keep searching for arguments to back our past or current policies, but to re-confirm the fact that we have learned our lesson. We are no longer looking to the past, but to the future. The past has taught us a good lesson.
🔹Multipolar world
The multipolar world is taking shape objectively, because new centres of economic growth, financial power and political influence have emerged. China, India and Brazil are cases in point. Let's not forget the Gulf countries, Türkiye, Indonesia and the ASEAN countries.
🔹UN
All that is needed is to abide by the UN Charter and to return to the commitments that were solemnly proclaimed, signed and ratified. Primarily, the issue is about the principle of the sovereign equality of states. Humanity’s problems since the creation of the UN are rooted in the fact that the West outright refused to respect the sovereign equality of all other countries. It continues to think and act in colonial ways and to live at the expense of others.
🔹Russia-Africa
Unlike some other countries dominated by those who we in Russia call “people who lost track of their origins,” African countries are well aware of the history of their states and their struggle against colonialism. They appreciate our country’s help.

Address to citizens of Russia
⚡️ On attempted Ukrainian terrorist attacks in Moscow and Moscow Region
On July 4, during morning hours, the Ukrainian neo-Nazis launched five unmanned aerial vehicles in terrorist attacks against Moscow and the Moscow Region. According to available information, this time they targeted civilian infrastructure, including a large international airport.
These attacks have been foiled thanks to the efficient operation of the Russian air defence and electronic warfare systems. Four drones were shot down and one went out of control and crashed. There are no reports of casualties or damage.
☝️ These attacks would have been impossible without the support provided to the Kiev regime by the #UnitedStates and its #NATO allies, which continue to pour weapons into Ukraine, including drones, train drone operators and provide intelligence information necessary for such crimes, including civilian and military satellite images.
❗️ All of this makes #Washington and its satellites accomplices to the preparation and implementation of terrorist attacks, which Kiev plans and implements using Western money and weapons.

⚠️ Comment by the Russian Ministry of Defence:
▪️ British Admiral Radakin's estimates of Russian armour losses published by the FT, jointly with the alleged loss of 'half its combat capability' of the Russian Armed Forces, are discouraging on the scale of the falsehood.
▪️ And all this against the background of lamentations of other British military commanders, and even Secretary of State for Defence Ben Wallace, about the total devastation of their own weapon reserves and hundreds of vehicles sent for the Ukrainian 'counteroffensive', but 'unexpectedly' burnt out when they came into contact with the allegedly 'lost combat capability' of the Russian troops.
▪️ Moreover, overpraised Storm Shadow cruise missiles are regrettably causing civilian fatalities by hitting civilian infrastructure more and more often. Otherwise, they may collapse without bursting frightening only steppe puffins.
▪️ All this British scrap metal supplied to the Kiev regime, after being remelted, yet to serve the new Russian regions quite well as raw materials during reconstruction work. And the microchips forged from the missiles could probably be inserted into Russian 'washing machines', as in tales Ursula von der Leyen was telling not so long ago.
▪️ The logic and aims of Admiral Radakin's propaganda statements in the British Parliament are obvious: to get money from the depleted budget to buy new armaments for the army in place of the junk sent to Ukraine.
▪️ The only challenge is to convince the taxpayers that the military supplies to Kiev make any sense at all and are useful for something.
▪️ All that remains in the absence of any results of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the battlefield, and now clearly in the lack of their prospects, is to fantasise about the 'loss of combat capability' of the Russian Armed Forces...
▪️ Most importantly, the British Defence Staff has long since requalified itself from a strategic analysis and planning agency to a BBC's non-organic branch. With such analytical skills as that of Admiral Radakin, the UK defence will not have water under its keel.

🌾 The approaching date of expiry (July 17) of the Black Sea Initiative on Ukrainian food exports, which cannot be extended without the consent of all the parties involved – Russia, Türkiye, and Ukraine – has caused another surge of propaganda activity on the part of Western countries, Kiev, and the UN Secretariat.
In this connection, it is necessary to reiterate the facts on the true state of affairs 👇
👉 Aimed at providing relief to destitute countries in #Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the Black Sea Initiative has degenerated into a purely commercial export of Ukrainian food to the well-fed countries. Of the 32.6 million tonnes of grain exported from the ports of Odessa, Chernomorsk, and Yuzhny since August 1, 2022, the greater part – 26.2 million tonnes, or 81 percent – was sent to countries with a high or higher-than-average level of incomes. The poorest countries received a mere 862,068 tonnes, or 2.6 percent.
👉 Against this background, the situation with normalising Russian food and fertiliser supplies to the world markets, as envisaged by the Russia-UN Memorandum, continued to decline. There are five systemic goals, which, if achieved, would have made it possible to remove these obstacles. They are as follows: reconnecting Rosselkhozbank to #SWIFT, resuming the supplies of spare parts for agricultural machinery, reviving the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline, making arrangements for transport logistics and insurance, and unfreezing financial assets. It looks like the first three have been removed from the agenda altogether, and there is no progress in view on the last two.
Under these circumstances, it is obvious that there are no grounds for extending the Black Sea Initiative, which expires on July 17.
