💥In March-June 1999, NATO was fiercely shelling civilians, hospitals and residential areas in Yugoslavia. Back in that days, Western missiles, bombs, cluster and depleted uranium munitions claimed thousands of innocent lives and left maimed and injured over 10 thousand people.

⚡️Just like 25 years ago, Western weapons – now in the hands of Ukrainian armed forces (UAF) – keep killing women and children. Kiev regime's terrorist attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure in Russia are fully assisted by the West providing UAF with ammunition, drones and targeting intelligence.

Ukrainian security services has long ago adopted terrorism as a their working tool, aimed, among other things, at increasing global confrontation. Since 2016, the Ukrainian regime has been consistently increasing the attempts to commit terrorist attacks and acts of sabotage against military and civilian sites in Russia.
When the special military operation began, the Ukrainian special services’ terrorist activity has taken on an unprecedented nature.
The attacks target the railway network and infrastructure using unmanned aircraft in the border areas and deep in the country.

The strategic objective of said acts is to inflict a military-political defeat on Russia, as well as maximum economic losses.

❗️The terrible tragedy caused by a heinous terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall on March 22, 2024, has shocked Russia and the international community. It has also put the issue of large-scale public terror back on the agenda <...>.
The majority of countries worldwide demonstrated a natural human reaction to the tragedy, sending words of support and condolences to Russia and the Russian people.
At the same time, several hours after the tragedy, before the preliminary results of the investigation were made public and disregarding the unequivocal international condemnation of the attack, the Western media and US, UK and EU officials launched an information campaign to deny the Ukrainian security services’ involvement in that crime.
🗞 The editorial offices of the mainstream Western media were instructed to promote the version of the ISIS (forbidden in Russia) involvement in organising the attack in Krasnogorsk, to deny the possible connection between the Islamists and the Ukrainian government or Western security services, to discredit the results of investigation, and to advance various conspiracy theories about the alleged involvement of the Russian security services in the tragedy.
They were cautioned against showing sympathy and a humane attitude to the Russian people. An especially cynical part of the Western attempts to divert public attention from the real organisers and beneficiaries of the crime was the categorical instruction not to mention the real scale of the tragedy. <...>

🎙 Statement by Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on Western arms deliveries to Ukraine
💬 The Kiev regime started to be pumped full with Western weapons at least 10 years ago. At first, this was done secretly, under the cover of the Minsk Agreements, and the corresponding Western activity was not publicized and was even denied. Now, however, all this has come to the surface and is not even concealed.
• Western elites find it more and more problematic keeping silent about the rampant corruption in Ukraine, the lack of control and accountability of the supplied equipment and ammunition and, consequently, the serious risks of their falling in the hands of terrorists.
• If Ukraine wanted peace, it would have achieved it long ago. Our justified and reasonable demands to our neighbor, which stand at the core of the SMO, are well known, and Ukraine is perfectly able to meet them without compromising its sovereignty and statehood.
• There is no doubt about the direct involvement of Ukraine in this horrendous and ruthless crime [in the Crocus City Hall]. The tracks of those who ordered it, as we can reasonably assert, lead to Kiev.
• The Investigative Committee of Russia has revealed that the money for organizing terrorist attacks on our territory came through commercial companies, including the oil and gas company “Burisma Holdings”, which has been operating in Ukraine and where the well-known Hunter Biden has been Board member since 2014.

⚡️ Заявление МИД России в связи с атакой по территории Израиля
💬 В ночь на 14 апреля по территории Израиля было запущено большое количество ракет и беспилотников. По заявлению МИД Ирана, данная атака была предпринята в рамках права на самооборону в соответствии со статьёй 51 Устава ООН в ответ на нападения на иранские объекты в регионе, включая удар по зданию консульского отдела Посольства ИРИ в Дамаске 1 апреля, который наша страна решительно осудила.
К сожалению, из-за позиции западных членов СБ ООН не смог адекватно прореагировать на удар по иранской консульской миссии.
Выражаем крайнюю озабоченность в связи с очередной опасной эскалацией в регионе. Неоднократно предупреждали, что неурегулированность многочисленных кризисов на Ближнем Востоке, в первую очередь, в зоне палестино-израильского конфликта, которые зачастую подогреваются безответственными провокационными действиями, будет приводить к росту напряжённости.
Призываем все вовлечённые стороны к сдержанности. Рассчитываем, что региональные государства будут решать имеющиеся проблемы политико-дипломатическими средствами. Считаем важным, чтобы конструктивно настроенные международные игроки этому способствовали.
☝️ Обращаем внимание российских граждан, находящихся в Израиле и соседних странах, в первую очередь, Иордании, Ливане и Сирии, на необходимость следить за сообщениями и практическими рекомендациями, публикуемыми на информационных лентах МИД России, официальных сайтах российских заграничных учреждений в упомянутых странах, Консульского департамента и Департамента Ситуационно-кризисный центр МИД России, в том числе в соответствующем разделе обновлённого ресурса – мобильного приложения «Помощник за рубежом».

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement in connection with the attack on Israeli territory
💬 In the early hours of April 14, a large number of missiles and drones were launched at the territory of Israel.
According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, this attack was undertaken as part of the right to self-defence stipulated in Article 51 of the UN Charter in response to the attacks on Iranian targets in the region, including the strike on the consular section of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus on April 1, which our country strongly denounced.
Unfortunately, due to the position adopted by its Western members, the Security Council was unable to provide a proper response to the strike on the Iranian consular mission.
We express our extreme concern at yet another dangerous escalation in the region. We have repeatedly warned that the numerous unresolved crises in the Middle East, primarily in the area of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which are often fueled by irresponsible provocative actions, will exacerbate tensions.
☝️ We call on all parties involved in the conflict to exercise restraint. We expect the regional states to resolve the existing problems through political and diplomatic means. We believe it is important for the constructively-minded international players to contribute to this effort.

The main topic of discussion centred around the situation in the Middle East. The Iranian Foreign Minister informed his Russian counterpart about the actions taken by Tehran in response to the Israeli airstrike on the consular section of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus on April 1, which resulted in the death of Iranian officials.
As noted, any further escalation of the situation in the region and any new dangerous provocative actions could lead to an escalation of tensions in the Middle East. Preventing such scenarios and eliminating their root causes should be a primary concern for the UN Security Council.
The Ministers reaffirmed their support for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, underscoring the urgency of resolving pressing humanitarian problems, and expressed their commitment to establishing lasting conditions for direct negotiations in accordance with the UN resolutions on a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question regarding Switzerland losing its neutral status
❓ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that “We aren’t counting on Switzerland’s services. Thanks to its neutral status, Switzerland has traditionally been a venue for peace conferences and talks to reach compromises and agreements. But it has lost this status.”
In connection to this, does Russia intend to transfer the International Geneva Discussions on Security and Stability in the South Caucasus to another country? Which countries could host discussions on the South Caucasus?
💬 We have repeatedly pointed out to the Swiss side that its irresponsible commitment to the collective West’s openly unfriendly policy towards Russia, including the fact that it has joined all the “packages” of EU sanctions against Russia (there are 13 of them to date), as well as its total solidarity with the Kiev regime, are at variance with its much vaunted “neutrality.” <...>
Regrettably, the Swiss authorities have failed to heed our concerns. Moreover, in recent months, they have actively promoted certain destructive initiatives, such as their own proposal to host an “international conference” on Ukraine, an idea that is completely detached from reality, as well as their efforts to develop a legal framework for a mechanism that would allow for the confiscation of Russia’s state assets deposited in their country.
Given these circumstances, Russia has been forced to put into practice its intention to transfer the International Geneva Discussions on Security and Stability in the South Caucasus to a country whose authorities would refrain from any actions that could damage the interests of any participating party in this negotiation format <...>
The only thing worth noting is that Russia intends to continue its efforts to achieve consensus on transferring the talks from Geneva with active support from our Abkhazian and South Ossetian allies, who fully share Moscow’s perspective on this matter.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s response regarding the Russian Investigative Committee opening a criminal case on terrorism financing
❓ How would you comment on the news that the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has opened a criminal case on the financing of terrorism?
💬 According to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, a criminal case has been opened under Part 4 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (financing of terrorism). It has been determined that over several years, resources for terrorist activities in Russia and abroad were provided through commercial entities, including Burisma Holdings, a prominent oil and gas company that operates extensively in Ukraine.
The situation is completely unacceptable. We are dealing with the transfer of millions of dollars to terrorists in order to eliminate unwanted political and public figures, as well as to inflict economic harm. Law enforcement agencies are investigating the involvement of certain government officials, public figures, and commercial entities in Western countries in this illegal activity. An investigation is currently underway, and for further details, you should contact the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation directly.
As for political assessments, we have provided them on numerous occasions. The Kiev regime and its Western backers, especially Washington, have been funding terrorist operations for years. The initiation of a criminal case in Russia under the pertinent article of the Criminal Code only confirms that Russian law enforcement agencies have substantial grounds to charge individuals involved in terrorism.

❗️ On this day nine years ago, Ukrainian writer and opposition journalist Oles Buzina was assassinated in front of hi️s home in Kiev.
He became one of the many victims of the Kiev criminal regime because he posed a threat to it – he publicly criticised and exposed the true nature of the neo-Nazi forces that had gained power as a result of the bloody coup d'état in Ukraine.
Buzina urged the then Ukrainian leadership to establish a dialogue with the inhabitants of Donbass and spoke about the need to consolidate the rights of the Russian language, which seriously irritated the post-coup officials in Kiev. He also received threats from Ukrainian radicals because his interpretation of Ukraine's historical path did not coincide with the nationalist ideology.
☝️ Such an active and firm civil position of Oles Buzina cost him his life.
A few days before his death, the journalist's personal data, including his home address, appeared on the Myrotrvorets (Peacemaker) extremist website, which contains personal information about all public figures, publicists, reporters, and journalists undesirable to the Kiev regime, a resource created literally as a practical guide for preparing terrorist acts.
Despite the fact that condemnation of the murder, condolences to the victim's family and demands for a comprehensive investigation were voiced by the #UN Secretary General, #OSCE and #US State Department officials and many civil society organisations, the perpetrators of his murder were never identified and the suspects were released.
After almost a decade, it is clear that the situation with freedom of speech in Ukraine has degraded to a critical level.
After almost a decade, it is clear that the situation with freedom of speech in Ukraine has degraded to a critical level. All media outlets in opposition to the Kiev regime are banned, and any manifestations of dissent are brutally suppressed and erased from the information space.
Unwanted journalists, primarily Russian ones, are being hunted down with all possible weapons. In the past two years alone, the Kiev regime has killed journalists Darya Dugina (Platonova), Oleg Klokov, Vladlen Tatarsky (Maxim Fomin), Rostislav Zhuravlyov and Boris Maksudov.
❌ Terrorist methods are being used to implement these criminal plans, while Ukraine's Western handlers and biased human rights organisations continue to turn a blind eye to these evil deeds.

💬 When asked at today’s briefing if Antonio Guterres thinks that the #UN should know who is responsible for the strikes at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General Stephane Dujjaric said they do not have a forensic capability of reporting on these strikes, nor does the #IAEA. Nor do we have an investigative mandate, he added.
What about his conclusions on #Bucha two years ago?
At the briefing on April 7, 2022,Stephane Dujjaric said they wanted to see a transparent investigation. He said there are various mechanisms within the UN system to ensure accountability for what could be very serious crimes. Those mechanisms are currently underway, he added.
So, are these mechanisms underway or is the mandate missing?

• The high interest in voting [during the 2024 Presidential election] was overwhelming, which was confirmed by high turnout as well as the large number of journalists, public figures and representatives from compatriot organisations who observed the elections.
• The electoral process took place amid the hybrid war against Russia unleashed by the collective West. <...> Nevertheless, the Russian Foreign Ministry and its foreign missions have coped with the task. Hundreds of thousands of Russians got the chance to exercise their constitutional right.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the presentation of the Republic of Bashkortostan (April 17, 2024)
Key talking points:
💬 We have gathered today for a presentation of a region of the Russian Federation at the Foreign Ministry’s Main Administration for Service to the Diplomatic Corps. Such events have become a good tradition. We take pride in performing this function as it allows us to introduce our foreign friends to the richness of the Russian Federation.
• Situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, in the very heart of Eurasia, Bashkortostan is emerging as a driving force in global economic and investment endeavours, as well as in the convergence of global civilisational processes.
• Russia's Republic of Bashkortostan is home to 110 ethnicities practicing different religions and speaking different languages. Accord between them, as well as between all other ethnic groups in the Russian Federation, is built on mutual respect and a careful preservation of traditions, history, faith, way of life and customs.
• Today, Bashkortostan is among the leading industrial and agro-industrial regions of the Russian Federation.
🌐 It is encouraging to see that the republic is striving to expand its foreign trade relations. It has signed foreign trade agreements with 105 countries and prioritises cooperation with the CIS and the EAEU, as well as the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America.
• We welcome the focus of Bashkortostan’s leadership and its business circles on expanding foreign relations and looking for reliable foreign partners.
🚣 Bashkortostan is generously endowed with natural riches. <...> Water tourism and mountain river rafting have played a significant role in shaping the person I am today. This passion of mine was born in Bashkortostan, for which I am deeply grateful to this remarkable land.

🗓 On April 19, 1783, Empress Catherine the Great signed a manifesto on the accession of Crimea, Taman Island and Kuban region into the Russian Empire.
Prince Grigory Potemkin, Governor-General of Novorossiya, played one of the key roles in the accession and development of Crimea. In June 1783, on top of Mount Aq Qaya, he personally received the oath of allegiance to Russia from the Crimean nobility and common people.
The results of the 2014 all-Crimean referendum once again confirmed the desire of Crimeans to remain part of our country and led to the long-awaited reunification of Crimea with Russia.

🎙 Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov's interview with TV BRICS (April 18, 2024)
Key talking points:
• [When several new members joined BRICS] it was unclear how the adjustment process would go and what would come out of it. After [four months of Russia's Chairship] our cooperation has gained momentum and we are moving forward towards success at an increasing pace.
• During the BRICS Chairship, Russia will continue its work in three key areas: politics and security, economy and finance, humanitarian cooperation. <...> I am glad that all the members of the association collaborate in a friendly manner, striving for best results.
• The Leaders [of the BRICS countries] have taken a decision that made the Group unequivocally stronger. The association asserted itself as <...> a key link in the emerging multipolar world.
• We assume that each of the new members will bring something new <...> to the group. The rich history and cultural traditions of the newcomers speak for themselves. It enriches BRICS.
• Our "group of ten" is beginning to demonstrate solidarity at international platforms. The BRICS countries recently adopted a joint statement at the UN Environment Assembly in Nairobi. The members of the association are asserting themselves in a constructive manner on the broadest possible agenda.
