Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions during a news conference on the performance of Russian diplomacy in 2024
🌏 Emerging security architecture in Eurasia
Enhancing practical cooperation in Eurasia is a priority for us. This continent serves as the geographical and geopolitical heart of the evolving multipolar international order. Currently, several independent centres of development are gaining strength here, alongside the implementation of successful integration projects. Russian President Putin’s 2015 initiative to establish a Greater Eurasian Partnership focuses on aligning and harmonising these collaborative efforts.
Naturally, the nations of Eurasia are interested in achieving long-term stability in the military-political sphere.

Embassy Comment
We have noted the article by Jonathan Eyal “#EU renewed toothless #sanctions against #Russia”, published in The Straits Times on February 1, 2025.
We agree with the author that the unilateral illegitimate sanctions aimed at continuing the hybrid war against Russia and inflicting a strategic defeat on us, are both unsuccessful and futile.
There is no doubt that the objectives of the special military operation (#SMO) on the #denazification and demilitarization of #Ukraine, its neutral and non-nuclear status, as well as ensuring the interests of the Russian people will be achieved.
The “bankrupt” Euro-Atlantic security architecture (#NATO) is being replaced by a new equal and indivisible #EurasianSecurity, which includes all the organizations that have demonstrated their effectiveness – the #EAEU, #SCO, #CSTO, etc.
The concept of #Eurasian security aligns with the accelerating formation of a multipolar world order. A key pillar of this shift is the rapidly growing, non-Western center of influence represented by #BRICS, which continues to attract countries from the #GlobalSouth, including #ASEAN member states, paving the way for a BRICS-ASEAN dialogue.
The consolidation of the countries of the Global South, making a choice in favor of peaceful, sustainable, inclusive, independent development together with Russia, China and other countries, represents a stable and viable trend in contrast to the outdated Western neocolonial “#InSanctionsWeTrust” mentality.

#KievRegimeCrimes
On January 18, Russian military discovered bodies of locals tortured and killed by Ukrainian Nazis in the basements of rural houses in the liberated village of Russkoye Porechnoye, Kursk Region.
During the MFA Spokeswoman's weekly briefing on January 31, photos and videos of the crime site obtained from Russian law enforcement officers were presented to the journalists. Their reaction was nothing short of SHOCK.
The evidence clearly show signs of grave crimes committed during the armed conflict: hands tied with tape, traces of torture, hematomas caused by blows, gunshot wounds, bodies of people who died after hours-long torture by criminals, as well as evidence of rape and other violent sexual crimes.
💬 From Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question (January 19, 2025):
Preliminary investigations have established the involvement of several Ukrainian servicemen from the 92nd Separate Assault Brigade in this crime. Among them are serviceman Yevgeny Fabrisenko, along with the commander of the 11th Company of the 4th Battalion with the call sign Kum, and three servicemen with the call signs Motyl (Moth), Provodnik (Guide), and Khudozhnik (Artist).
The Russian Investigative Committee posted a video of the interrogation of detained Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman Yevgeny Fabrisenko, who is suspected of killing 22 civilians in Russkoye Porechnoye, Kursk Region, and of raping eight women.

This is exactly what the countries of the collective West and their politicians, who personally cover and encourage Kiev’s Nazis, expect from the Banderites. They cynically turn a blind eye to their criminal acts, continue to authorise arms supplies to the Kiev regime and block attempts at international investigations of its crimes. In a joint and disciplined manner, they pretend that nothing terrible is happening, although this constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions.

We are certain that the real nature of Zelensky's junta was most clearly manifested in Russkoye Porechnoye, whose name has obviously become one of the driving factors for the Russophobic regime in Kiev and its armed gangs: it is against everything Russian that the current post-Maidan authorities are fighting with support of the “collective West.”

Поздравление Посла России в Сингапуре Н.Р.Кудашева по случаю Дня дипломатического работника, отмечаемого 10 февраля 🇷🇺
🎙 Интервью Посла России в Сингапуре Н.Р.Кудашева «Православие.Ru» (06.02.2025) – о точках соприкосновения стран и культур, их различиях и общих ценностях, помогающих выстраивать сотрудничество
Основные тезисы:
- Базовые человеческие ценности мира, любви, взаимного уважения и совместного созидания не только не разделяют, а, скорее, объединяют Европу и Азию. Отсюда и особая роль, которую российская дипломатия придает развитию Евразийского видения проблем безопасности, наряду с его прагматической основой в виде Большого Евразийского партнерства.
- Сингапур – это действительно сплав народов, культур, объединенных общими целями развития и процветания. Неслучайно здесь, так же, как и в России, особое значение придается проблематике межнационального и межконфессионального согласия, уважению тех религий, которые представлены на территории острова.
- Российская культура для сингапурцев – это всегда открытие. Им хочется увидеть, какова настоящая Россия, узнать о нашей истории, традициях, современной жизни. Есть те, кто потом решает действительно посетить нашу страну как турист или учиться в отечественных вузах. Такой отклик очень приятен.
- Знание основ русского языка дает возможность глубже и полнее усвоить глубинный смысл русской культуры, выйти за рамки национальных границ, приобщиться к богатству общего культурного наследия народов Евразии. Интерес к русскому языку, России, русской культуре здесь постоянно растет.
- Несомненно, существенную роль в знакомстве с российской культурой играет Сингапурская епархия Русской Православной Церкви, приход в честь Успения Божией Матери. Православие – неотделимая часть культурного кода России, забывать об этом нельзя. Уверен, что в ближайшие годы нам удастся реализовать в Сингапуре проект строительства Российского культурного центра в комплексе с православным храмом.

On the occasion of the Russian #DiplomatsDay (February 10) we would like to tell you about the Contribution of Soviet Diplomacy to the Establishment of the #UN
Key points:
- At the #Moscow Conference of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the USSR, USA, Great Britain and China in October 1943, the #Soviet delegation put forward a proposal to establish a universal international organization.
- The first draft of the #UNCharter was developed at a conference convened at the suggestion of the #USSR in Dumbarton Oaks (#USA) from September 21 to October 7, 1944. At this forum, representatives of the USSR, the USA, #GreatBritain and #China agreed on the goals, structure and functions of the world organization. The Soviet delegation consistently and resolutely advocated that the activities of this organization be based on democratic principles.
- At the #Crimea (Yalta) Conference of the leaders of the great powers, which took place from 4 to 11 February 1945, participants agreed upon the issues of the initial members of the organization and the voting procedure in the Security Council, as well as on issues related to the maintenance of international peace and security, the development of economic relations, cooperation in the social, technical and other areas of interstate relations.
- On April 25 – June 26, 1945, the founding conference of the United Nations was held in #SanFrancisco. The Soviet delegation sought to ensure that the #democratic principles of the structure and activities of the UN were enshrined in the Charter.
- Based on Soviet amendments, important new provisions were included in the chapter on the purposes and principles of the UN, stating that peaceful settlement of international disputes should be carried out "in accordance with the principles of justice and international law"; that friendly relations between nations should develop "on the basis of respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples"; that international cooperation in resolving international problems of an economic, social, cultural and humanitarian nature should be carried out "and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion...".
- On June 26, 1945, the UN Charter was signed by A.A. Gromyko, then the Soviet Ambassador to the USA, thanks to whose personal participation and persistence the final documents related to the creation of the UN recorded positions largely corresponding to the interests of the Soviet Union.

On the Contribution of Soviet Diplomacy to the Establishment of the UN
This year the world celebrates the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the establishment of the United Nations. Soviet diplomacy made a significant contribution to the creation of the UN at all stages of this process. At the Moscow Conference…
On February 10, the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Singapore hosted a reception to mark Russia’s Diplomatic Worker’s Day.
The event brought together a distinguished audience, including foreign ambassadors, diplomats, business representatives, and members of the Russian diaspora in Singapore.
H.E. Nikolay Kudashev, Ambassador of Russia to Singapore, opened the evening with a speech, highlighting that this year’s celebration coincides with a significant milestone – the 80th anniversary of the United Nations and the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War.
In his remarks, Ambassador Kudashev noted that the Russian Federation presents to the peoples of Eurasia its vision of continental security that would replace the failed Euro-Atlantic layout and would be grounded on the principle “regional problems require regional solutions”. The economic basis for this understanding of regional stability could be Greater Eurasian Partnership, which organically interfaces the diverse integration formats existing on the continent.
During the reception, a congratulatory address from Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov was broadcast.
The evening also featured a rich cultural program, including a musical performance of renowned Russian composers' works, an art exhibition of paintings by young Russian artists on the theme of Russian nature, culture and everyday life, and a screening of the film "Witness", dedicated to the tragic events in Ukraine, which were caused by the rampant neo-Nazism spread in that country.

10 февраля в Посольстве Российской Федерации в Республике Сингапур состоялся прием по случаю Дня дипломатического работника.
Вечер посетили послы иностранных государств, представители зарубежных дипмиссий и делового сообщества, российские соотечественники.
Посол России в Сингапуре Н.Р. Кудашев, открывая мероприятие, подчеркнул, что в этом году праздник совпадает со знаменательными вехами – 80-летием создания Организации Объединенных Наций и 80-летием окончания Второй мировой и Великой Отечественной войн.
В своем выступлении Посол также отметил, что Российская Федерация предлагает народам Евразии собственное видение общеконтинентальной безопасности, которое пришло бы на смену несостоятельным Евро-Атлантическим конструкциям и строилось бы на принципе «региональным проблемам – региональные решения». Экономической основой такого понимания региональной стабильности могло бы служить Большое Евразийское партнерство, органично сопрягающее бытующие на континенте многообразные интеграционные форматы.
Во время приема транслировалось поздравительное обращение Министра иностранных дел Российской Федерации С.В.Лаврова.
В ходе вечера внимаю гостей была предложена насыщенная культурная программа, в том числе исполнение произведений российских композиторов, выставка картин молодых отечественных художников на тематику природы, культуры и быта России, и показ фильма «Свидетель», повествующего о трагических событиях на Украине, к которым привел разгул неонацизма в этой стране.

"The anti-Russian santions have had no effect, and the Special Military Operation is successfully continuing. SMO has and cannot have any other outcome than the denazification and demilitarisation of Ukraine, and its acquisition of neutral and non-alighed status, taking into account the legitimate rights of the Russian-speaking population and changes on the ground."

🎙 Excerpt from Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at a solemn event on the occasion of Diplomatic Worker’s Day (Moscow, February 10, 2025)
<…> Forming a broad space of peace and development in Eurasia, which is the world’s largest, resource-rich and rapidly developing continent, should remain our key area of focus. These efforts are facilitated by the objective formation of the Greater Eurasian Partnership through expanding trade and economic ties, carrying out infrastructure projects, and harmonising integration processes, primarily within the #EAEU, the #SCO, #ASEAN and China’s Belt and Road Initiative. <…>

Embassy comment
We have read another set of speculations by Jonathan Eyal under the title ‘Europe's worst nightmare closer to reality after Trump's call with Putin’, published in The Straits Times on February 14, 2025. We see nothing in them but confusion at the prospect of restarting US-Russian dialogue formats.
The author's fears, which, incidentally, he is trying to instill in his readers, were best answered by Sergey Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, at a joint press conference with Sirojiddin Mukhriddin, Foreign Minister of Tajikistan, on 13 February 2025.
The Minister said literally the following:
“From the way the world froze after Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin spoke by telephone, it is clear that the West has been taking for granted everything that is happening in Ukraine, what Vladimir Zelensky’s Nazi regime is doing. “So, this is the way you deal with Russia.” That is probably why many in the West, starting with the European Union leaders, were stunned by a normal, basic conversation between two well-mannered, polite people who do not put their differences aside. They have their disagreements, but they realise that politics is about sitting down and talking, and finding common ground.
Regrettably, the reaction in the West shows that there are practically no such people left there. Two well-mannered men have just shown the world how politics should be done. I just hope that this will make those who have forgotten how it is done come to their senses, and re-read their history books as well as political science books.”
We don't think there's a better answer.

🏅 On February 14, 1943, the Red Army liberated the city of Rostov-on-Don from the Nazi invaders.
#RostovOnDon was occupied twice during the Great Patriotic War. The Nazis took the city in November 1941, and later it was under the enemy occupation again from July 22, 1942 to February 14, 1943. The Germans were determined to hold the city at any costs as it was an important transport hub in the region and a huge administrative centre opening the way for the Nazis to the Caucasus.
🌟 In February 1943, the Red Army carried out the Rostov offensive operation to liberate the city, defeat the enemy’s army group on the Don River and thus block the Wehrmacht units’ redeployment to #Donbass.
The Soviet 28th Army under the command of Lieutenant General Vasily Gerasimenko reached the outskirts of Rostov-on-Don following a 600-kilometre march across snow-covered southern steppes.
Four Nazi divisions were concentrated in Rostov-on-Don. The enemy had built there strong defence lines with robust fortifications and numerous machine-gun and artillery firing points.
The Red Army offensive was also complicated by the terrain: the right bank of the Don River, where the city is located, was much higher than the left bank, from which the Soviet forces were launching their attack. The penetration of the enemy defences in the city seemed impossible.
⚔️ In the early hours of February 8, 1943, the Southern Front forces led by Colonel-General Rodion Malinovsky launched the operation to liberate Rostov-on-Don. The Nazi-occupied city saw brutal, fierce fighting that lasted for six days. On February 14, 1943, the Red Army broke through the enemy’s defences and entered the city from Bataysk. The German garrison was encircled and forced to surrender.
Rostov-on-Don’s pre-war population of more than 1.5 million people was effectively decimated by #WWII and the German occupation, dwindling to 150'000. The Nazis also destroyed there the local industries, looted and captured its cultural heritage.
Thanks to the heroism and unrivalled morale of the Red Army soldiers, Rostov-on-Don was finally liberated after 205 days of occupation. During the Rostov offensive, the Soviet forces not only liberated the Rostov Region, but also took a bridgehead near the Mius River to use it in a further offensive in the direction of Donbass.

#RostovOnDon was occupied twice during the Great Patriotic War. The Nazis took the city in November 1941, and later it was under the enemy occupation again from July 22, 1942 to February 14, 1943. The Germans were determined to hold the city at any costs as it was an important transport hub in the region and a huge administrative centre opening the way for the Nazis to the Caucasus.
The Soviet 28th Army under the command of Lieutenant General Vasily Gerasimenko reached the outskirts of Rostov-on-Don following a 600-kilometre march across snow-covered southern steppes.
Four Nazi divisions were concentrated in Rostov-on-Don. The enemy had built there strong defence lines with robust fortifications and numerous machine-gun and artillery firing points.
The Red Army offensive was also complicated by the terrain: the right bank of the Don River, where the city is located, was much higher than the left bank, from which the Soviet forces were launching their attack. The penetration of the enemy defences in the city seemed impossible.
⚔️ In the early hours of February 8, 1943, the Southern Front forces led by Colonel-General Rodion Malinovsky launched the operation to liberate Rostov-on-Don. The Nazi-occupied city saw brutal, fierce fighting that lasted for six days. On February 14, 1943, the Red Army broke through the enemy’s defences and entered the city from Bataysk. The German garrison was encircled and forced to surrender.

⚡️ On Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio
🇷🇺🇺🇸📞 On February 15, at the initiative of the American Side, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Building on the February 12 telephone conversation between the Presidents of Russia and the United States, the two Foreign Ministers agreed to maintain an open channel of communication to address longstanding issues in Russian-American relations. Their goal is to remove unilateral barriers inherited from the previous US administration that have hindered mutually beneficial trade, economic and investment cooperation.
Both Sides expressed a shared commitment to engaging on key international issues, including the Ukraine settlement, developments in Palestine and the broader Middle East, as well as other regional matters.
The conversation also covered ways to swiftly reverse the restrictions on Russian diplomatic missions in the United States, which were introduced by the Obama administration in 2016 and led to reciprocal measures. It was agreed that expert-level meetings will be organised in the near future to coordinate specific steps towards removing these obstacles to the functioning of diplomatic missions in Russia and the United States.
❗️ Sergey Lavrov and Marco Rubio reaffirmed their readiness to restore a respectful and constructive interstate dialogue in line with the approach set by the Presidents. They agreed to maintain regular contact, including discussions on preparations for a potential high-level Russian-American summit.
