🎙 Statement by the Head of the Russian Delegation Dmitry Birichevskiy at the Informal Meeting of BSEC CSO (February 23, 2024)
Key talking points:
💬 Russia has consistently been calling for upholding the economic mandate of BSEC and the depoliticized character of its work which constitutes the fundamental basis for its result oriented activities.
• Ukraine lost its sovereignty not now, but 10 years ago in 2014 as a result of the US-EU sponsored and directed coup d’état. Yesterday, on February 22 was the 10th anniversary of the so-called Maidan. We all remember the absolute fascist slogan of Maidan “Moskalyaku na Gilyaku” which means “Death to Russians”. Of course we consider this coup d’état as absolutely nondemocratic, ruthless ousting of the legal authorities of Kiev.
• Daily shelling of peaceful neighborhoods, civilian infrastructure – these are the methods by which the Kiev regime has been operating. The data on losses and destruction is terrifying.
• The proxy war till the last Ukrainian is not just about providing security to the US and NATO. Many times we suggested negotiations to our American and European counterparts and they [our proposals] were neglected. It is a lucrative business project for Washington, nothing more. The majority of EU members obediently follow Washington’s orders to supply more and more arms to Kiev replenishing them with products purchased from the US defense industry.
☝️ Coming back to the nature of our Organization, we will call on collective efforts to strengthen the identity of the Black Sea region through collective measures, developing beneficial economic, trade, cultural and scientific ties.

🇺🇳 Human rights today have transformed into a means the "collective West" and its allies actively use to achieve their own geopolitical goals. This involves leveraging the UN Human Rights Council, deliberately destabilizing the domestic political stability of sovereign states, and employing the illegal practice of imposing unilateral coercive measures.
⚖️ The cynicism of these countries has reached such levels that it has become impossible not to react. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) could not remain indifferent, issuing a decision on January 31 on Ukraine’s case against Russia. In its verdict, the Court rejected all accusations against our country, including those related to racial discrimination and financing terrorism.
❗️ Thus, the ICJ completely disavows the anti-Russian resolutions adopted by the UNHRC, recognizing the claims and accusations on which these documents are based as null and void. This decision clearly demonstrates that the resolutions are based on slanderous statements of the Ukrainian authorities and their Western sponsors.
👉 This also applies to the information contained in the OHCHR reports, which spread fabrications made by the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine and the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the events in that country. Now, the High Commissioner, Mr. Volker Türk and his staff cannot deny this fact. The decision of the International Court clearly shows that these reports, written by the OHCHR using the criteria dictated by its Western donors, are not trustworthy.

During the meeting, we discussed several key areas for cooperation in the field of halal product import and export between Russia and Singapore.

Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on the G7 statement
https://mid.ru/ru/foreign_policy/news/1935230/?lang=en
The so-called Group of Seven countries, united in their hostility to the Russian Federation, issued yet another politicised and biased communiqué, deliberately timed to coincide with the second anniversary of the start of Russia’s special military operation. The document is shot through with Russophobia and full of slander. In fact, this statement is merely the latest example of the Western policy of attacking our country, and confirms the group’s irreversible degeneration into another tool of the current US administration’s hegemonic aspirations. We firmly reject every unjustified and unlawful demand on Russia contained in the text. There is no point in responding to every passage, but I will focus on a few substantive points.
1. The G7 countries again had the audacity to accuse Russia of “illegal, unjustified, and unprovoked full-scale aggression” against Ukraine, which is also a “flagrant violation” of the UN Charter. In this regard, we have to repeat that the United States and its vassals still have to explain to the international community the legal foundations for the wars of aggression they have unleashed against Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and dozens of other countries, as well as for the unjustified armed aggression against Yemen that the Anglo-Saxons are carrying out right now.
Once again, we highlight the undeniable fact that Russia has not violated any international laws, and that its actions are part of exercising the right to individual and collective self-defence under the UN Charter, something we have repeatedly emphasised. Russia is not an aggressor state, as the West is trying to present the case. Every step taken by our country is aimed at giving a proportionate response to years of geopolitical aggression against its vital security interests.
The G7 certainly finds it convenient to present the case as if the current Ukraine crisis broke out in 2022. We have repeatedly stated that its origins go back at least as far as 2004, when the United States and the EU orchestrated the first coup in Ukraine by forcing an unconstitutional third round in the presidential elections in order to bring their protégé to power. In 2014, a new and brutal armed coup brought radical nationalist forces to power in Kiev with the active support of the Americans and Europeans. They proceeded to unleash a campaign of terror against ethnic Russians and the Russian-speaking population of Crimea and southeastern Ukraine.
Russia did not start this war, but it is seeking to end it; and it is taking decisive action to that end, including the special military operation, because it has no other choice. If the United States and its satellites seek to facilitate a settlement not in words but in deeds, they should stop promoting the unacceptable Zelensky peace formula, cease any support for the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev and meet Russia’s legitimate demands related to ensuring its security interests on the European continent.
2. The last paragraph of the statement saying that Ukraine’s “government and its people can count on the G7’s support for as long as it takes” is baffling. We suggest that the West’s protégés in Kiev do not relax. No one vowed to support them. Instead, all they did was encourage Kiev to count on it.
As we know from recent history, assistance from the United States and other “democratisers” like them can dry up at any moment. How could it be otherwise, considering that the Biden regime’s time is almost up, and the positions of people like Scholz, Macron, Sunak, Meloni, and Trudeau are somewhat precarious? Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is unlikely to continue to “fence” for Ukraine once he’s left without his overseas masters. Former Washington puppets in Afghanistan can attest to the level of “reliability” of their Western patrons. The Americans abandoned them and fled the country in disgrace. They will flee again. It’s just a matter of time.

The G7 is threatening Russia with more sanctions, which is not surprising. The West has been waging its economic war since at least 2014 when Crimea returned to its native harbour. This time, they are threatening to cause harm not only to Russia but also to our partners, which are sovereign countries conducting typical and legitimate trade with our country.
The entire world watched them toss the principles of market economy out, including the presumption of innocence of economic agents. Now, the G7 can’t wait to take the seized assets owned by Russia and transfer the funds to the Kiev regime, which would set a dangerous precedent and raise a red flag for everyone who is still doing business with the West.
Responsibility for the rupture of trade, economic, cultural, and people-to-people contacts with Russia lies with the current Western leaders. Any unfriendly steps will be met with a commensurate response based on the principle of reciprocity.
4. The demand to “fully clarify the circumstances surrounding Alexey Navalny’s death” is unacceptable. We take this as a crude attempt to meddle in Russia’s domestic affairs.
Let them first respond to our requests regarding Navalny’s test results in Germany. For many months, we have not been able to clear up the Skripal poisoning case, or the bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines. What is really happening in the United States and Europe in the field of human rights? What is happening with democratic procedures during the current election campaign in the United States?
The G7 countries cannot expect any reciprocity from Russia until they provide convincing answers to these questions.
5. A quick glance at this statement is enough to spot the G7’s long-running and deep-seated anti-Russia sentiment. Primarily through the efforts of the Anglo-Saxons, the G7 has become a headquarters for the West’s battle against Russia and other independent countries aspiring to expand legitimate relations with each other. Washington and London are effectively leveraging officials from Berlin, Tokyo, Paris, and Rome as useful idiots to secure support for their anti-Russia policy.
It’s high time for the right-minded people in continental Europe and Japan, if any are left, to wake up from their lethargic slumber and realise what their current rulers who had sworn allegiance to the Anglo-Saxons are dragging them into. The time is ripe to re-think the goals of G7 membership, since what this association is doing clearly undermines the strategic interests of continental Europe and Japan.
The era of alliances such as the G7 is gone forever. Its members need to acknowledge their mistakes, disavow their statements that are steeped in Russophobia, abandon their anti-Russia policies, and accept the objective reality of an emerging multipolar world without hegemony and neo-colonial diktat.

💬 Our country has already held three of these large youth forums, and each time they confirmed that there are no borders or dividing lines for younger generations. Here you can interact with whomever you wish and find the knowledge and experience you need.
This was proven by the hundreds of thousands of applications to take part in the festival that we received from 190 countries. The only thing we regret is not being able to accept all of them.
Right now, representatives of almost 300 ethnic groups are gathered here, on this stage. Here in Russia, we know very well how valuable this diversity is, and what a powerful driver of progress and mutual spiritual enrichment it is. <...>
☝️ Multi-ethnic unity is our supreme value, and it has largely shaped the principles by which our state and society live and develop today.
I am speaking about equality and justice, traditions of a strong family and mutual assistance, about serving one’s Fatherland and feeling responsibility for its destiny. I know that these values are shared by the vast majority of the Earth’s inhabitants.
This is why we must take care of them and defend them together, fulfil our dreams together, and help each other to make the lives of billions of people better. We must work together for the generations to come, fight poverty and terrorism, diseases and drug trafficking, preserve the unique natural riches, cultural heritage, and all the beauty and diversity of the planet.
This world has no place for racism, dictatorship, double standards or lies, and people are free to speak their language and follow the beliefs and traditions of their ancestors. <...>
🤝 I am confident that you will get a colossal charge of positive emotion from the festival and return home with love for Russia.
