❗️This year Moscow is hosting the Russian Energy Week International Forum on 26-28 September 2024.

Russian Energy Week International Forum (REW) is a key international event to address the most pressing issues in the energy sector.

The Forum has been held since 2017 and has immediately become the most important energy efficiency event in Russia or abroad.

🌐The Forum is attended by government officials from various countries, heads of major energy companies and organizations, scientists, and experts. Last year, in total, over 5,000 delegates from 84 countries and territories took part in REW-2023.

🎙Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions following the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, Antalya, March 2, 2024 (excerpts):

💬The #West is using the current international situation to push through its rules, on which it believes the world order must be based. In fact, when you start analysing these #rules, they signify only the [Western countries’] desire to continue acting in neocolonial ways, to live at the expense of others. We can see this in the events unfolding in Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, including the East China Sea and other regions of the world.

We believe that the #GlobalMajority understands that it is necessary to go back to the roots and to the principles of the #UN laid down by the founding fathers, which the West is now simply not only ignoring, but also flagrantly violating.

📰 Excerpts from Aide to the President of Russia for Foreign Policy Yuri Ushakov's interview (March 5, 2024)

💬Russia has never set BRICS in opposition to other international platforms, be it the Group of 20 or the Group of Seven.

Moreover, in all of their actions, statements and declarations, as well as in practice, BRICS nations show openness to a fair and equal dialogue. Together, we call for building horizontal network ties between various regional and sub-regional integration processes in Eurasian, African and Latin American countries. It is particularly about platforms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). By the way, the EAEU maintains robust cooperation with its Chinese partners, particularly in implementing Beijing’s Belt and Road project. I would like to emphasize that all these processes are expected to accelerate and become more eventful.

#CrimeanBridge

What is interesting are the words said by Western figures, including the response of German politicians when the truth about the recording of conversations between German generals was revealed. Some of them are concerned there was a leak from a secure line. The fact that German weapons and the personnel servicing them are going to be used to attack the Russian Federation, including the Crimean Bridge and ammo depots, is not surprising. They wonder why the secure line turned out to be not so secure. This says a lot.

#Election2024

We have accumulated a lot of evidence on how the EU embassies in Moscow are preparing for our presidential elections. I am referring to interference mechanisms, certain “supporting projects” for the non-systemic opposition – in short, things that embassies have no right to address.

#RussiaUS

The Americans approach us every now and then. They have asked us not to deploy weapons in space. They have asked for a meeting. As if nothing happened. They say they must defeat us on the battlefield in Ukraine but other than that, let’s discuss strategic issues. President Vladimir Putin said that they are not serious and it goes against the natural course of things.

⚛️ On March 6, 2024, President of Russia Vladimir Putin met with Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (#IAEA) Rafael Grossi.

💬 President Putin: Russia continues to cooperate with the IAEA in a lot of very important areas and remains an undisputed world leader in this area. We not only use but actively promote nuclear energy and consider it an environmentally friendly form of energy; we do everything to improve the safety of nuclear facilities.

• We are building new power plants according to today’s principles: the Kursk-2 NPP uses fast neutrons. We are making small stations and developing a nuclear fleet. A small floating nuclear power plant was installed in the north.

• All this is in great demand not only in Russia, but also in the economies and energy sectors of the whole world. And we are ready to share what we have developed with all our interested partners.

• We are implementing numerous projects in many countries with your assistance and support.

• I know that you have particularly sensitive and important issues on the agenda of our meeting today, and we, of course, are ready to discuss them and do everything to ensure security in any place where we are in one way or another involved in nuclear energy.

Russian MFA Spox Maria Zakharova:

The latest from the loonie multiverse / alternate reality: the US Embassy in Russia dug up a State Department video from two years ago, presenting it as new while most likely writing off budget funds for it.

In this video, Julie (Julianne) Smith, the US Ambassador to NATO, recounts “why NATO & Russia relations have soured.” From the creators of "NATO wanted to be friends" 🤦‍♀️

Facts are as follows 👇

The Ambassador started with trump cards: “After the Berlin Wall fell, NATO tried to extend a hand, and reach out and work with Russia.“

In real life, it was NATO that cynically disregarded the promises made in 1990 by West German Chancellor Genscher and US Secretary of State Baker not to expand the Alliance’s defence zone towards Russia, famously known as “not an inch eastward.” We have discussed this issue extensively.

Perhaps it was the desire to be buddies (NOT) 🤔 that drove the North Atlantic alliance to fiercely expand eastwards, increasing its presence and bringing its military infrastructure closer to our borders. Ultimately, there were five (!) waves of expansion, with the sixth unfolding before our very eyes.

The true nature of NATO was revealed in 1999. Just two weeks after the first wave of expansion, NATO launched an attack on Yugoslavia, blatantly violating fundamental principles of international law enshrined in the UN Charter. For 78 days, the USA & its allies ruthlessly bombed cities, including Belgrade, targeting civilian infrastructure and causing the deaths of women, children and the elderly. It was during this time that the West destroyed the foundation of European security. Do you not recall those events, Julie?

The accusation vs Russia for “what it did in Georgia in 2008” is the epitome of cynicism. Are they suggesting that it wasn’t the reckless actions of tie-chewing Saakashvili, goaded by Western powers, who launched a vicious attack, killing civilians and Russian peacekeepers? An independent commission helmed by Heidi Tagliavini of Switzerland reached an unequivocal conclusion — the Saakashvili regime committed an unprovoked act of aggression. Every student knows that. Oh and btw, US State Secretary Condoleezza Rice visited Tbilisi just before, in July of that year...

Also omitted: 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest, where the Alliance announced its doors open for Ukraine & Georgia.

Julie also blurted out something about “Russia’s aggression in Ukraine in 2014.” Just recently we had the 10-year anniversary of the anti-constitutional coup in Kiev. We would advise US diplomats to jog their memory: timeline (video) & synopsis of the role played by the West. They might consider consulting the departing Victoria “F*ck the EU” Nuland on the details.

The Ambassador mentioned the lack of Russia's Mission to NATO, neglecting the fact that the work of our mission was suspended in 2021 AFTER the Alliance recalled the accreditation of 8 staff members with 0 reasoning, and prohibited Russian diplomats from visiting NATO HQ, limiting any contacts. Read 👉 MFA statement.

By the way, going back to the notion of “making friends,” President Vladimir Putin said in an interview with Tucker Carlson that the issue of Russia’s accession to NATO was raised during talks with the US president. Back then we were told it was impossible at the time. Now we know why 👇

NATO leaders and member countries no longer conceal their true intentions. They openly declare that inflicting “a strategic defeat” on Russia is their primary objective. They provide the Kiev regime with intelligence & lethal weapons, effectively participating in the conflict in Ukraine that they themselves instigated.

We suggest the State Department add a laugh track voiceover to their recycled fairy tales of a video, especially in parts where NATO “extended a hand but the relationship soured.” Otherwise, too boring to watch.

On the other hand, we eagerly anticipate when C-Street produces videos about their aggression in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Afghanistan.

#Mariupol is coming back to life, recovering from the trauma and destruction the city had suffered under the neo-Nazis from the Azov battalion, who used civilians as human shields and civilian infrastructure as their fortified points.

👉 #See4Yourself, hear the residents of Mariupol, witnesses speak out.

🏢 Another 9 brand-new residential high-rises were commissioned: those who lost their apartments have received new flats (550 in this batch). The housing comes with children's playgrounds, schools and kindergartens - all included.
🎙Интервью Посла по особым поручениям МИД России Г.И.Аскальдовича МИА «Россия сегодня» (7 марта 2024 года)

Смогут ли проживающие за рубежом и не состоящие на консульском учёте россияне проголосовать на предстоящих выборах Президента Российской Федерации?

Г.И.Аскальдович:
💬 В соответствии с законом находящиеся за границей российские граждане, постоянно проживающие или пребывающие в загранкомандировках, а также в поездках по частным делам, могут принять участие в голосовании на предстоящих выборах Президента Российской Федерации. Постановка на консульский учёт для участия в голосовании не обязательна. <...>

Будут ли организованы избирательные участки по выборам Президента Российской Федерации на палестинских территориях и в других регионах, охваченных конфликтами?

Г.И.Аскальдович:
💬 При организации выборов мы учитывали внутриполитическую ситуацию, сложившуюся в отдельных странах, включая вооруженные конфликты и внутреннее гражданское противостояние. По этой причине на палестинских территориях избирательные участки не созданы и выборы там проводиться не будут.

В связи с палестино-израильским конфликтом сокращено количество избирательных участков в Израиле. В этот раз их будет только три в отличие от десяти на выборах 2018 года. В то же время после долгого перерыва мы организовали избирательный участок в Ливии, где уже прошло досрочное голосование. <...>

Как Вы оцениваете первые итоги проведения досрочного голосования за рубежом?

Г.И.Аскальдович:
💬 Досрочное голосование за рубежом проходит в достаточно спокойном ключе и, к счастью, без эксцессов. Такой формой голосования у нас на этот раз охвачено 51 государство. <...>

Применим ли формат дистанционного электронного голосования в странах, где нет российских дипломатических представительств?

Г.И.Аскальдович:
💬 Мы приветствуем современную форму голосования, которой является дистанционное электронное голосование (ДЭГ), однако на этот раз за границей эта форма волеизъявления применяться не будет. Основное препятствие – угроза в сфере кибербезопасности со стороны желающих вмешаться в наши выборы.
