⚡️ Briefing by Chief of Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops of the Armed Forces of Russia Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov on military-chemical activities of the US and Ukraine (May 28, 2024)
Key talking points:
💬 Not only has Washington not renounced the use of chemical weapons, but it has also strengthened the possibility of their use at a legislative level. <...> The US thus has a legal framework that regulates a wide range of scenarios of the use of chemical weapons by the Armed Forces.
• The Pentagon reportedly continues to develop new and modernise existing non-lethal chemical munitions and other systems for the use of chemical weapons, such as 120-mm mines, 155-mm artillery shells, and 120-mm tank rounds.
• With Washington's acquiescence, the use of toxic substances and riot control agents by Ukrainian militants during the special military operation has become systematic.
• Numerous cases of use of chloropicrin (on Schedule 3 CWC List) irritant by the Ukrainian side, often in mixture with chloroacetophenone, have been recorded. Similar incidents have been recorded near Donetsk, Bogdanovka, Gorlovka, Kremennaya, Artyomovsk.
• Plans for the large-scale use of toxic substances are reflected in Ukraine's requests for the supply of antidotes, gas masks, and other personal protective equipment in quantities that are clearly excessive.
• With regard to the OPCW's double standard policy, I would like to recall the confirmed use of toxic substances (like Tabun, BZ, prussic acid) and non-lethal chemicals (CS, chloropicrin, chloroacetophenone) by the Kiev regime. All the necessary evidence has been submitted to the OPCW Technical Secretariat, but we have not received a meaningful response. <...>
❗️ This once again convinces us that the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, in its current form, is controlled by the West and used by it to settle political accounts.

🗓 On May 28, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held a meeting in Moscow with Alexander Marschick and Tareq Albanai, co-chairs of the Intergovernmental Negotiations on the UN Security Council Reform and permanent ambassadors of Austria and Kuwait at the universal organisation.
During the meeting, Mr Lavrov emphasised Russia’s position of principle in support of a well-balanced transformation of the UN Security Council, designed to enhance its authority and efficiency and to make it a more democratic structure by ensuring greater representation of states from the Global South.
The Sides acknowledged that substantial differences still exist among the participants in the intergovernmental talks on all aspects of the reform process. Consequently, they agreed that further detailed discussions on this issue are necessary within the current format of intergovernmental talks, without setting specific deadlines.

🎙 Excerpts from FM Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the meeting with participants of the Time of Heroes programme (Solnechnogorsk, May 28, 2024)
💬 A special military operation started in conditions that did not emerge overnight. For many years, we had been warning the West that this situation was unacceptable. We were left with no choice, about which the President of Russia talked in detail.
🤝 The scale of unity of our people is unprecedented. This is unity against injustice. The President and the Government are working to make sure that we will never depend “on one nail” from the West in such critical areas of our life as security, food, energy and military equipment and that we will be able to produce all this ourselves. The economy must become independent of anyone.
The term suggested by President Vladimir Putin – “the time of heroes” – is about you, about those who fight together with you, who fought upholding our vital interests and the rights of people whose ancestors had lived for centuries on the territory of Donbass and Novorossiya, who were building cities and roads, and creating industrial enterprises that some people are trying to declare alien.
It's a holy job. Life has arranged it so that now you are heroes. Now you are role models. Young people should look up to you.
❗️ The West tried to turn Russia into a middle power. They have not given up this idea. They are fighting against us because they see that we are becoming independent. They really want to cut us to size.
Russia is one of the leading, great powers of the modern time – this place belongs to it by right. It will retain this place. The World Majority countries – Africa, Latin America and Asia – realise well that this is not only about the destiny of the Nazi regime in Ukraine but about the West’s reluctance to give up its hegemony.
🌐 By will of fate, we have found ourselves on the edge of struggle for a new equitable and fair world order. It will be based on the principle of sovereign equality of states.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with Rossiya Segodnya (May 30, 2024)
Key talking points:
💬 The deployment of US ground-launched intermediate and shorter-range missiles (IRBMs) in these regions [Europe and Asia Pacific] poses significant security challenges for Russia. <...> We will not hesitate to respond if the Americans move forward with their plans to deploy their ground-launched IRBMs.
🇷🇺🇨🇳 We have established a high level of mutual trust with China, which serves as a foundation for our military cooperation. By working together, Russia and China seek to reinforce international security in keeping with international norms.
• We appreciate Beijing’s constructive approach to the Ukraine crisis. Our Chinese friends understand its root causes and the essence of the current developments.
• The current ruling party in Kiev is the party of war, and their stated goal is to defeat Russia on the battlefield. It is difficult to imagine any peace talks taking place in that situation.
☝️ We said on numerous occasions, including at the highest level, that Russia remains open to negotiations. However, it should be clear to everyone that we will only discuss peace, not a ceasefire.
• There is no denying that the OSCE is in a deep crisis. It has been caused by the fact that the West has trampled on the principles the organisation was built on. A total “Ukrainisation” of its agenda has practically brought to naught its activities in the traditional fields.
• Supplying the Kiev regime with increasingly destructive types of weapons shows that the West is not interested in ending the conflict. The F-16 American fighters will not change the situation on the line of contact.
❌ From our experience with the Americans, it is perfectly clear that US statements are not to be trusted. <...> The Americans continue to make declarations about their commitment to a just solution to the Palestine problem, while at the same time generously adding fuel to the armed confrontation.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s video address to the 9th international conference "Russia and China: Cooperation in a New Era" (May 30, 2024)
💬 I am delighted to welcome the organisers of and participants in the 9th international conference "Russia and China: Cooperation in a New Era".
Most recently, Russia's President Vladimir Putin paid a state visit to China, which definitely became the centerpiece of bilateral exchanges this year. <...>
🇷🇺🇨🇳 The bond of comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation between Russia and China has grown unprecedentedly strong thanks to the personal efforts of both heads of state. The Beijing summit sealed the two countries’ firm commitment to further deepen and expand it. This commitment was documented in the two leaders’ joint final statement.
This year, Russia and China celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations. We mark this significant anniversary with achieving a new quality of relations – today, Russia and China view each other as priority partners and invariably adhere to the principles of mutually respectful, equal and trustful cooperation. We support each other with regard to key issues affecting the respective fundamental interests.
<...>
Strategic coordination in the international arena remains a key component of the Russian-Chinese partnership amid the growing international tensions. Our foreign policy tandem, held together by a broad commonality of interests as well as coinciding or similar approaches to key issues on the present-day agenda, plays a major stabilising role in global affairs.
☝️ The two countries are strengthening cooperation on multilateral platforms, primarily the Unite Nations and the UN Security Council, as well as #BRICS, #SCO, #G20, and #APEC.
<...>
The Russian-Chinese strategic tandem is gaining status, and this opens up new horizons for us in terms of stronger sovereignty, economic growth, and prosperity of both countries.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks during Business Council meeting on #BRICS issues (Moscow, May 31, 2024)
💬 We have agreed to focus our today’s meeting on a most pressing issue – interaction within the BRICS association.
BRICS is a unique interstate format where representatives of various countries of various religions, civilizations and cultures communicate, work and elaborate joint decisions, which are subsequently implemented. All this is done on the basis of equality, mutual respect, openness and search for a balance of interests.
The purpose of cooperation is understandable: to provide for the creation of favourable conditions for the economic growth of member countries, to resolve social problems and to develop innovatory human potential. No doubt that the interests of all member countries coincide in this matter and meet the hopes of other Global Majority countries, which has been confirmed by doubling our association membership in 2023 (from five to 10). This is also confirmed by the fact that over 30 states have applied for rapprochement with BRICS in one form or another.
<...>
The BRICS Summit is scheduled for October 2024 in Kazan. As early as next week we will hold a meeting of the BRICS Council of Foreign Ministers in Nizhny Novgorod to be attended by both full-fledged members and invited countries representing a variety of integration entities in the Global Majority as well as other partners in the BRICS+ format.
<...>
☝️ We are going to give priority attention to strengthening contacts with business circles. It is because these issues just cannot be solved efficiently without you.
We will encourage a direct dialogue between entrepreneurs within BRICS. The Business Council and the Women’s Business Alliance set up at Russia’s initiative are already operating. We will support your participation in these organisations in every way possible, especially this year when Russia holds the presidency.

✍️ Russia's President Vladimir Putin sent congratulations to participants and guests of the events dedicated to International Children’s Day.
💬 President Putin: This holiday was established 75 years ago, in 1949, and is marked in many countries. Moscow is a traditional centre of celebrations in Russia. Today, it is welcoming guests from different regions of the country and from the Republic of Belarus and the People’s Republic of China. The children will enjoy colourful events, captivating excursions, and theatre shows. Without a doubt, they will meet interesting people, receive gifts, and enjoy surprises and friendly get-togethers.
I would like to emphasise that children’s education and strong family values are a priority of the state and society in our country. It is important for every child to be surrounded by loving care, to grow up healthy and happy, and to develop their talents and gifts. The Russian Children’s Fund is making a significant contribution to this mass-scale joint work. Its charitable programmes in health care, education, outreach, and creativity deserve the deepest recognition.

⚡ Comment by Russia's Embassy in Singapore:
Zelensky's personal involvement in the Shangri-La Dialogue (SLD) left us with a sense of outrage. His speech in support of diplomacy was nothing but a mockery. A vivid example of this is the so-called peace conference to be held in Switzerland in mid-June. Zelensky used his participation in the SLD as a last resort to persuade the Global South to take part in this bizarre meeting, the aim of which was to formulate and then impose an ultimatum on Russia.
Zelensky and his US and EU bosses failed to understand that ultimatums are not diplomacy and will not end the hostilities caused by NATO's arms support.
☝️ There is also no point in discussing nuclear security when Kiev continues bombing the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, as well as food security when the Black Sea Initiative has collapsed because the US, UN and EU have failed to ensure that the Global South is able to receive grain from Russia even as a donation, not a purchase.
And if you want to know how Ukraine protects children, just visit the Alley of Angels in Donetsk, a memorial to children brutally killed by the Ukrainian military. That is all you need to know about how Kiev cares for children. Zelensky's words are nothing but a mess.
The International Institute for Strategic Studies is allowing a once prominent forum to become a platform for anti-Russian narratives and a tool to force countries in Southeast Asia to support NATO and Ukraine.
🤝 But we hope that the millennia-old wisdom currently enshrined in the ASEAN-led architecture will prevail and help ASEAN member states make the right choice in support of a new emerging multilateral world order.

1 June marks the 240th anniversary of Simferopol city foundation.
The name Simferopol has a Greek origin. It is translated as "city of benefit", "city of common good", "guardian city".
On the site of the city was found the mausoleum of King Skilur, the king of Scythians. He was buried in full battle attire and with a huge amount of gold.
In Simferopol, the great doctor Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov was the first in the world to create a new system of care for the wounded with the help of nurses of mercy.
In 1912 in Simferopol Kapellmeister Yakov Bogorad wrote the most famous military march - "Farewell of Slavianka".
Also in Simferopol was created the antimicrobial drug Miramistin, thanks to which millions of people were able to cure themselves of diseases.
