🇷🇺🇨🇳 Joint statement by the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China on Global Strategic Stability (May 8, 2025)

In the context of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Second World War and of the founding of the United Nations, the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the two Sides) emphasize the utmost importance of maintaining and strengthening global strategic stability.

Taking into account the serious challenges facing the international community in the sphere of international and regional security, adhering to the strong consensus reached by the Heads of the two States, and acting in the spirit of previous joint documents on this subject and the principled approaches set out therein, the two Sides state the following.

• The two Sides call upon all States to adhere to the principle of equal and indivisible security on global and regional levels, make maximum efforts to eliminate conflicts in relations between States, build comprehensive, integrated and sustainable security throughout the world on a collective basis.

• Nuclear-weapon States, which bear special responsibility for international security and global strategic stability, should reject Cold War mentality and zero-sum games, resolve contradictions via dialogue on an equal footing and mutually respectful consultations, build confidence to avoid dangerous miscalculations and refrain from actions that generate strategic risks.

• The two Sides note with concern that against the backdrop of aggravation in the relations between nuclear-weapon States, which in some cases has escalated to the threat of a direct military clash, a critical mass of problems and challenges has accumulated in the strategic sphere, and the risk of nuclear conflict has increased.

• One of the most pressing strategic risks to be urgently addressed remains the highly destabilizing expansion of existing and newly formed military alliances and coalitions that is being carried out by some nuclear-weapon States close to the frontiers of other nuclear-weapon States in an attempt to establish or expand permanent footholds in such areas, which are particularly sensitive to them, for the purposes of projecting military power, exerting forceful pressure and committing other hostile activities that threaten the core security interests of those States.

• Deeply destabilizing in nature is also the recently announced “Golden (Iron) Dome for America”, a large-scale program designed to establish unconstrained, global, deeply layered and multi-domain missile defense system to protect against any missile threats, including all types of missiles from “peer and near-peer adversaries”.

• In order to safeguard world peace, ensure equal and indivisible security for all, and improve the predictability and sustainability of the exploration and peaceful use of outer space by all States, the two Sides agree to promote on a global scale the international initiative/political commitment not to be the first to deploy weapons in outer space.

• The two Sides reaffirm their commitment to The Joint Statement of the Leaders of the Five Nuclear-Weapons States on Preventing Nuclear War and Avoiding Arms Races of January 3, 2022 and to the principle enshrined therein that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.

• The two Sides state that the efforts undertaken by the AUKUS (US-UK-Australia) partnership to establish military infrastructure of two nuclear-weapon States in support of the activities of their nuclear forces in the territory of a State Party to the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone Treaty undermine strategic stability and provoke an arms race in the region.

• The two Sides intend to continue in the most active manner to enhance the coordination of their approaches and to deepen the practical cooperation on maintaining and strengthening global strategic stability, as well as to jointly address common challenges and threats in this sphere.

✍️ From the article “Lost Illusions, or How the International Criminal Court has become a legal nonentity” by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman, Security Council of the Russian Federation, PhD in law

🔹 The world keeps changing, and not always for the better. We have witnessed the rapid degradation of many supranational legal structures, which have fallen victim to their dependence on the will, funding and values of the so-called collective West. This is true, for instance, for the International Criminal Court (the Hague Criminal Court).

🔹 As of February 2025, 125 states are parties to the Rome Statute (in the UN there are 193 members). Despite their number, the ICC does not represent the international community of states as a whole and does not act in its name. Three out of five permanent members of the UN Security Council are not parties to it (Russia, China and the USA), along with industrialised and densely populated Asian countries (India, Pakistan, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia), many Arab countries.

🔹 It is no coincidence that former Chair of the African Union Commission Jean Ping told journalists that the Court is a toy of declining imperial powers. Opinions spread that apparently the ICC was only interested in prosecuting Africans who confronted the Western influence, and used Africa as a laboratory for testing international criminal justice.

🔹 Yet it was in terms of the arrest warrants issued for heads of sovereign states that the ICC reached the pinnacle of nonsense and disutility, including Russia’s President Vladimir Putin in respect of the situation in Ukraine. Passing such decisions the ICC officials were well aware of the fact that they would never bring any practical result, saving propaganda consequences obviously in the interests of the same Anglo-Saxon world.

🔹 Unfortunately, at this point we need to recognise [ICC’s] total inefficiency in performing its main task – bringing to liability all those guilty of genocide, aggression, war crimes, those who escaped punishment under national law. All of them, including citizens of Western countries and NATO member states. Of course, it is doubtful that the Hague Criminal Court in its present form and role will make efforts to this end. That is why it shall sink into oblivion.

🔹It seems entirely possible to develop on the regional level (for instance, in the framework of BRICS) a concept of establishing an international legal body as an alternative to the Hague Criminal Court. This new judicial body in BRICS could reiterate the common commitment of its member states to the UN Charter principles, including the principles of immunity of heads of sovereign states from any foreign jurisdiction and non-interference into internal affairs of the states, including by way of unlawful foreign instructing of opposition leaders.

⚡️ Statement by the Head of Delegation of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky on the outcomes of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations in Istanbul (May 16, 2025)

💬 Dear colleagues,

The direct negotiations with the Ukrainian side, held on the initiative of the President of Russia, have just concluded.

In general, we are satisfied with the outcome and are ready to continue contacts.

This is what we agreed on:

1. In the coming days there will be a large-scale exchange of prisoners of war — 1,000 for 1,000.

2. The Ukrainian side has requested direct talks between the heads of state. We have taken notice of this request.

3. We agreed that each side would present its vision of a possible future ceasefire. This will be outlined in detail.

Once this vision has been presented, we believe it would be appropriate, as also agreed, to continue our negotiations.

⚡️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin’s statement to the media following a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump (May 19, 2025)

💬 Vladimir Putin: Good evening.

Our colleagues asked me to briefly comment on the outcome of my telephone conversation with the President of the United States.

This conversation has effectively taken place and lasted more than two hours. I would like to emphasise that it was both substantive and quite candid. Overall, I believe it was a very productive exchange.

First and foremost, I expressed my gratitude to the President of the United States for the support provided by the United States in facilitating the resumption of direct talks between Russia and Ukraine aimed at potentially reaching a peace agreement and resuming the talks which, as we know, were thwarted by the Ukrainian side in 2022.

The President of the United States shared his position on the cessation of hostilities and the prospects for a ceasefire. For my part, I noted that Russia also supports a peaceful settlement of the Ukraine crisis as well. What we need now is to identify the most effective ways towards achieving peace.

We agreed with the President of the United States that Russia would propose and is ready to engage with the Ukrainian side on drafting a memorandum regarding a potential future peace agreement. This would include outlining a range of provisions, such as the principles for settlement, the timeframe for a possible peace deal, and other matters, including a potential temporary ceasefire, should the necessary agreements be reached.

Contacts among participants of the Istanbul meeting and talks have resumed, which gives reason to believe that we are on the right track overall.

I would like to reiterate that the conversation was highly constructive, and I assess it positively.

The key issue, of course, is now for the Russian side and the Ukrainian side to show their firm commitment to peace and to forge a compromise that would be acceptable to all parties.

☝️ Notably, Russia’s position is clear. Eliminating the root causes of this crisis is what matters most to us.

Should any clarifications be necessary, Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov and my aide, Mr Yuri Ushakov, will provide further details on today’s telephone talks with President Trump.

Embassy comment

We have read another article by The Straits Times Global Affairs Correspondent Mr Jonathan Eyal, titled “Crossed wires: Much-hyped Trump-Putin call fails to deliver ceasefire deal on Ukraine.” This piece is yet another toxic screed designed to portray diplomacy and dialogue around settlement in Ukraine as doomed from the outset. The recent phone call between the Russian and American presidents is cynically dismissed as mere political excuse, with no attempt to acknowledge the value of sustained dialogue in resolving conflict. For the author, peace efforts are only worth mentioning if they can be twisted into a narrative that demonizes one side or both.

The author finds it more convenient to level baseless attacks against Russian and American leaders than to confront the far more pressing question: the origins of the conflict and the problems of the negotiation process – driven, in no small part, by Europe’s steady goading of Kiev. Behind a façade of noble rhetoric, European powers seem far more committed to prolonging the conflict than to ending it.

This kind of commentary does little to inform and much to inflame. It offers no path forward, only recycled narratives and selective jabs. Meanwhile, readers interested in a substantive perspective would do well to review the official commentary from the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin:

#Announcement

🗓 On May 27-29, 2025, in Moscow, Secretary of the Russian Security Council Sergey Shoigu will chair the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues.

Invitations to participate in this forum have been extended to more than 150 states of the Global South and East, the #CIS, #CSTO, #EAEU, and #SCO countries, as well as to the leaders of more than 20 international organisations.

The agenda of the 13th forum focuses on international security cooperation.

ℹ️ The Security Council of the Russian Federation has been holding the annual international meetings of high representatives in charge of security issues since 2010. It is an important international platform for exchange of views on all global security-related issues and mechanisms to strengthen cooperation between partner countries to combat international terrorism, extremism, transnational crime, drug trafficking, as well as new challenges and threats.

🎙 FM Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to questions from teachers and students of the Armenian branches of Russian universities, members of the expert community, and activists of the youth wing of the Eurasia Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation (Yerevan, May 21, 2025)

💬 Subsequent to the meeting between President of Russia Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan in autumn 2024 – during which our leaders resolved to reinstate comprehensive contacts across all areas, as these had, to a certain degree, lapsed somewhat in the period preceding their discussions – and in accordance with the leaders’ understanding, I received Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan who visited Moscow in January. We are now here on a reciprocal visit.

We are engaging in the frankest discussions – not only on matters positively received by both capitals and conducive to expanding mutually beneficial projects, but also on issues where our perspectives diverge. This includes, notably, the processes unfolding in the South Caucasus, where, broadly speaking, two trends are in contention.

The first trend involves respecting the sovereign choices of the countries situated here – the nations of the South Caucasus, Transcaucasia – Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia – while also acknowledging the legitimate interests of their immediate neighbours: Russia, Iran, and Türkiye. <...>

The second trend is precisely that our Western counterparts – primarily the European Union, <...> openly sought to extend their dominant influence over this region, to bend unfolding processes to their will, and to prevent the consolidation of the three South Caucasus states with their major neighbours – Russia, Iran, and Türkiye. This objective persists.

This trend, this modus operandi of our Western colleagues, is not unique to the South Caucasus but extends to Central Asia and other parts of our vast, shared continent. <...> In contrast, our stance is based on equality, mutual respect and, above all, the principles that have been set out in the UN Charter and are approved by everyone without exception.

<...>

The promise not to expand NATO has been thrown down the drain. <...> We have warned them over the past 20 years, almost on the daily basis, that all this could come to grief. But after the 2014 coup d’etat, they began converting Ukraine to an “anti-Russia.” <...>

So now, when they tell us: Let us have a ceasefire and then we’ll see, we say: No way, guys, we have been through it all before. We don’t want it that way any longer. And so today, when all these Macrons, Starmers, Ursulas von der Leyen, and other European characters are writhing in hysterics and urging the US to join the anti-Russia crusade and increase the number of sanctions, this is a complete giveaway for them.

***

Geopolitics and geography alike underscore the necessity of building bridges among all nations across the Eurasian continent. This means, first and foremost, fostering cooperation among the existing regional structures: the #SCO, the #EAEU, the #CSTO, the #CIS, China’s Belt and Road Initiative, the GCC, and ASEAN. <...>

However, there are those who are intent on preventing such a mutually beneficial unification of the countries across Eurasia, including those in the South Caucasus and Central Asia. Nevertheless, we continue to advance this effort.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin has proposed the creation of a Greater Eurasian Partnership, rooted in practical cooperation and the interaction of existing integration structures, which would serve as the foundation for a future Eurasian security architecture.

<...>

🤝 We anticipate that Armenia will take part in these processes. We fully respect the desire of our Armenian partners to develop relations with other countries, whether European or non-European, and with international organisations across various regions.

⚡ Foreign Ministry statement on Kiev’s latest drone attack targeting Russian civilians (May 23, 2025)

The Kiev regime is relentless in its terror attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure in numerous Russian regions, including Moscow.

According to the Defence Ministry, from May 20 to 8 am on May 23, the number of aerial attacks amounted to multiples of what it used to be with 788 strikes by fixed-wing UAVs and Western-made missiles targeting Russian territory outside the area of the special military operation. Our air defence forces destroyed 776 drones and missiles, though unfortunately, 12 UAVs made it through our defences and hit their targets.

Casualties have been reported. On May 22, an attack on the village of Panteleymonovka, the Donetsk People’s Republic, wounded eight people. On the same day, a drone strike in the Vasilyevsky Municipal District, Zaporozhye Region, killed a woman born in 1990 and injured four children aged 10, 9, 8, and 1.

On the night of May 23, a downed UAV triggered fire in an industrial zone of Yelets, Lipetsk Region, injuring eight people. Additionally, the Ukrainian forces launched two HIMARS missiles on civilian targets in the city of Lgov, Kursk Region, also resulting in casualties, including two children.

Notably, even after the Ukrainian forces had been ousted from the Kursk Region, they keep trying to infiltrate our territory and launch drone, long-range artillery, and missile attacks.

Under these circumstances, the President was compelled to make a decision on establishing a security buffer zone on adjacent territory in order to minimise the ability of the Ukrainian forces to infiltrate and to attack our border regions using various munitions.

The latest barbaric terrorist attacks by the Kiev regime were carried out in an attempt to thwart direct Russia-Ukraine talks facilitated by the US Administration, which are designed to settle the conflict definitively. They also appear intended to derail the implementation of initial agreements reached in Istanbul on May 16, including a massive prisoner exchange.

These attacks are part of the strategy pursued by Ukraine’s party of war, which also includes violations of energy and Easter ceasefires that Russia has strictly observed, as well as the unilateral ceasefire declared by us during the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory celebrations.

Without a doubt, Russia will deliver a matching response to barrages of terrorist attacks carried out by the Kiev regime.

Unlike the Ukrainian side, our targets will be strictly limited to military facilities and defence industry plants.

☝️ To reiterate, our fundamental commitment to a constructive search for a peaceful settlement through dialogue remains unchanged.

🎙 Excerpt from Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to media questions (Moscow, May 23, 2025)

Read in full

❓ Question: Do you believe that the Western European leaders you mentioned are deliberately trying to thwart President Trump’s mediation efforts in the Ukraine conflict? Could jealousy be a factor?

💬 Sergey Lavrov: I wouldn’t say it’s about jealousy.

These leaders were simply more comfortable with the previous US administration, which was leading the charge in the anti-Russia crusade and encouraged European countries to follow suit.

Now, with the new administration in the White House, it's clear that they were more comfortable under President Biden. Their main objective was to preserve Western unity in what they described as an effort to deliver a “strategic defeat” to Russia on the battlefield.

If we take a closer look at the positions adopted by London, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, the Baltic states, and Warsaw, we’ll see that they have no way of abandoning their stated goal. They bet their reputations on drawing Europe into the war against Russia and using it as a pretext to militarise Europe.

Massive investment will have been made to that end by 2030. Chancellor Friedrich Merz has openly stated his ambition to make Germany Europe’s dominant military power with the largest conventional army.

❗️ This is alarming news, and historical reminiscences are conjuring up a disquieting picture.

Another possible motive behind their actions is that they still hope to use some people from the US establishment to bring President Trump and his administration back into an anti-Russia camp and share responsibility or even shift the blame.

☝️ But I believe they won’t succeed this time.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the 33rd Assembly of the Council for Foreign and Defence Policy (CFDP) (May 24, 2025)

💬 Sergey Lavrov: Thank you for giving me yet another opportunity to deliver a report to this audience.

Although I am a CFDP member myself, it is not everyone that is invited to make reports here. I had a chance to look through the materials drawn up by many CFDP members, including those who are now present here, over the past few months, documents distributed as part of the package for today’s meeting. I can say that many things echo the ideas current at the Foreign Ministry. But there are certain things that provide valuable tips, at least with regard to the focus areas that we will have to concentrate our thinking on in the future.

☝️ We value the contributions being made by the expert community and CFDP members. Many of them are regular participants in various talk shows. This is useful. Russian foreign policy can only benefit from this analytical support. Let me repeat that I derive much interest from perusing all your materials that we receive throughout the year, even outside the framework of preparations for upcoming sessions. Thank you very much for this.

Today’s event is entitled The Time of Trial: War and Peace in the 21st Century. I read a relevant article that used the word “war” in the plural. Quite possible, this detail will also affect the process. It must be taken into account. No one knows how many years of ordeals are in store for us. But they are certain to come.

An interesting epoch is here to stay. As our Chinese friends say, “Be it far from you to live at interesting times.” However, this is not quite so from the diplomatic point of view. Diplomacy, like any active practical science, “comes to life” precisely in the periods, when it is necessary to display initiative, think more, and analyse.

❗️ Forming a multipolar world remains the core trend for today. We are confident that this is a natural process. But there are others who feel nostalgic for the globalisation era and are sure that multipolarity is an artificially imposed construct and a temporary thing that must be suppressed.

The Global South and East countries see multipolarity as a chance for bolstering up their sovereign development without manifestations of Western neo-colonialism that have become rife in recent years, whereas the West has highly mixed feelings about the strengthening of multilateral principles in international life.

О визите вежливости поверенного в делах Мьянмы в Посольство России в Сингапуре 🇷🇺🇲🇲

26 мая 2025 г. Посол Российской Федерации в Республике Сингапур Н.Р.Кудашев принял с приветственным визитом Поверенного в делах Республики Союз Мьянма в Сингапуре Зо Мин Ауна.

В ходе встречи стороны обменялись мнениями по актуальным вопросам двусторонней повестки дня, включая развитие политического диалога, торгово-экономических и культурно-гуманитарных связей, а также международную обстановку в Азиатско-Тихоокеанском регионе и на Евразийском пространстве.

🇷🇺🇲🇲 Courtesy Call by Chargé d’Affaires of Myanmar to the Russian Embassy in Singapore

On May 26, 2025, H.E. Mr Nikolay Kudashev, Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Singapore, received Mr Zaw Minn Aung, Chargé d’Affaires of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar in Singapore, during a courtesy call.

During the meeting, the two sides exchanged views on key issues of the bilateral agenda, including the development of political dialogue, trade and economic cooperation, cultural and humanitarian ties, as well as international developments in the Asia-Pacific and Eurasian region.

🎙 Address by President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin to participants of the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues (May 28, 2025)

💬 Vladimir Putin: I am pleased to welcome you to Moscow for the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues.

Over the past nearly fifteen years, your Forum has convincingly affirmed its significant status and authority. I know that in these days, participants of the Meeting — representatives of delegations from many states — can expect a substantial programme, with the main discussion dedicated to the prospects of establishing a new global security architecture.

☝️ As for Russia, our approaches remain principled and unchanged. I have said it before and will reiterate: we are convinced that the new security architecture must be equal and indivisible — that is, all states must receive firm guarantees of their own security, but not at the expense of the security and interests of other countries.

It is vital to make our continent a space of peace and stability, an example of sustainable economic, social, and cultural development. We believe that the foundation for creating such a universal security system could be the existing and well-established multilateral cooperation formats, such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, the Eurasian Economic Union, the Collective Security Treaty Organisation, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and others.

Your current meeting is widely attended by states of the Global South and East. It is they, in essence, who form the global majority, seek to influence regional and international processes more actively, and uphold the principle of sovereign equality and the right to their own development model.

Undoubtedly, in building joint efforts, it is necessary to rely on positive historical experience, on the lessons of the past. This year marks the 80th Anniversary of the end of #WWII, which fundamentally influenced the development of the international community.

The experience of uniting states in the fight against evil, against Nazism and militarism, the understanding of the colossal price humanity paid for peace and freedom, for the right of peoples to choose their own path of development, laid the foundations of the post-war world order and led to the creation of the UN — a universal, legitimate organisation based on the principles of international law, which has helped overcome many geopolitical challenges.

Today, it is especially important to preserve the truth about the events of those years, to counter attempts to rewrite history, to cast doubt on the decisive contribution of the peoples of the Soviet Union to the Victory over Hitler’s Germany, and to glorify Nazi criminals and their accomplices.

Just recently, on May 9, we solemnly marked the Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The celebrations in Moscow became yet another symbol of unity around the ideals of the Great Victory, demonstrating once again the commitment of our friends and partners to shaping a safer world, to constructive cooperation, and to jointly addressing global challenges.

I am convinced that this latest meeting of high representatives overseeing security issues will contribute to the development of new important approaches to strengthening international peace and stability and will help advance dialogue for the benefit of all countries and peoples.

I wish you success.

📄 Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Japarov, and Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan to congratulate them on the Day of the Eurasian Economic Union (May 29, 2025).

✍️ Vladimir Putin: Please accept my heartfelt greetings on the Day of the Eurasian Economic Union.

Integration processes within #EAEU have gathered substantial momentum and have been quite fruitful. We created a common market, which provides for the free movement of goods, services, capital and labour.

There is an ongoing effort to harmonise our national regulations in key sectors, while we succeed in undertaking joint economic and infrastructure projects.

I am certain that we will keep doing everything to step up our constructive multi-faceted cooperation for the benefit of our peoples and to ensure well-being and stability across the Eurasian space.

I wish you good health and success, and happiness and prosperity to your fellow citizens.

🗓 29 мая решением глав государств-членов Евразийского экономического союза ежегодно отмечается #ДеньЕАЭС.

1 января исполнилось 1️⃣0️⃣ лет с даты вступления в силу Договора о ЕАЭС (подписан 29 мая 2014 года) и начала фактического функционирования Союза как регионального интеграционного объединения.

За это время ЕАЭС зарекомендовал себя как эффективный интеграционный проект, в основе которого — равноправие и учёт интересов каждого участника. Объединение утвердилось в качестве одного из самостоятельных и самодостаточных центров формирующегося многополярного мира.

Страны «пятёрки» #ЕАЭС — Армения, Белоруссия, Казахстан, Киргизия и Россия — добились значительных результатов: на пространстве Союза функционирует и совершенствуется внутренний рынок, устойчивый рост демонстрирует взаимная торговля, укрепляется кооперация в таких сферах, как транспорт, логистика, промышленность, сельское хозяйство, обеспечение энергетической и продовольственной безопасности.

📈 Экономические показатели говорят сами за себя: по имеющимся оценкам, совокупный ВВП государств-членов ЕАЭС за 10 лет функционирования Союза увеличился с 1,6 до 2,5 триллиона долларов.

Рост валового внутреннего продукта (в целом по Объединению) в 2024 году составил плюс 4,4% — это существенно выше среднемировых темпов, оцениваемых в 3,3%. Товарооборот с третьими странами вырос на 60%. По итогам прошлого года доля национальных валют во взаиморасчётах стран «пятёрки» в рамках внутрирегиональной торговли достигла 90%.

Евразийский экономический союз является важным игроком международных экономических отношений с широкой сетью зарубежных связей. В настоящее время действуют соглашения о свободной торговле ЕАЭС с Вьетнамом 🇻🇳, Ираном 🇮🇷 и Сербией 🇷🇸, а также два непреференциальных соглашения с Китаем 🇨🇳. Реализуется план сопряжения Союза с китайской инициативой «Одни пояс — один путь».

Активно осуществляется взаимодействие с государствами-наблюдателями ЕАЭС — Узбекистаном 🇺🇿, Кубой 🇨🇺 и Ираном 🇮🇷. На финальной стадии находится работа по заключению торговых соглашений с Индонезией 🇮🇩, ОАЭ 🇦🇪 и Монголией 🇲🇳.

📰 Из интервью Заместителя Председателя Правительства Российской Федерации А.Л.Оверчука «Российской газете» (28 мая 2025 года):

💬 <...> «Рассматриваем ЕАЭС как центр экономической кристаллизации Северной Евразии, достигший высокого уровня социального и экономического развития, а также в целом решивший проблемы продовольственной и энергетической безопасности. Это делает нашу пятёрку привлекательным партнёром для стран Глобального Юга, которые до сих пор не могут преодолеть последствия колониальной зависимости от стран Западной Европы. <...>

Евразия обладает колоссальным созидательным потенциалом, где страны севера и юга стремятся к развитию и многое для этого делают. Многие из этих стран тянутся к России».

🎙 Из брифинга официального представителя МИД России М.В.Захаровой (20 мая 2025 года):

💬 «Сегодня ЕАЭС — пример успешного интеграционного объединения, взаимодействие в рамках которого строится на принципах

равенства, доверия и уважения

, учёта интересов каждого участника.

Поздравляем с наступающим Днём ЕАЭС, благодарим коллег из стран Союза и Евразийской экономической комиссии за плодотворное взаимодействие. Нацелены на дальнейшее раскрытие экономического потенциала, наращивание и укрепление интеграции на благо населения и бизнеса наших стран».

🎙 Интервью заместителя Министра иностранных дел России А.А.Панкина программе «Евразийский диалог» по случаю Дня Евразийского экономического союза (29 мая 2025 года)

📺 Смотреть интервью

Ключевые тезисы:

🗓 29 мая 2014 года был подписан основополагающий для Евразийского экономического союза документ, а именно — Договор о ЕАЭС. Он очертил контуры евразийской интеграции, преимущества которой сегодня прекрасно осознают все страны-члены Объединения. Это доказано и статистикой, и поступательной динамикой его развития.

• #ЕАЭС — безусловно, экономический союз. Приоритет в его деятельности — это укрепление благосостояния населения и создание наиболее благоприятных условий для бизнеса. С этой целью ЕАЭС и создавался.

• За 10 лет своего функционирования Союз продемонстрировал немало достижений: совокупный ВВП Объединения возрос до 2,6 триллионов долларов. Товарооборот с внешними странами почти достиг отметки в триллион — 923 миллиарда долларов. В рамках ЕАЭС действуют четыре свободы передвижения: товаров, услуг, капитала, рабочей силы. Целый ряд функций по регулированию (в сфере таможенного администрирования, внешней торговли, технических регламентов) передан наднациональному органу — Евразийской экономической комиссии.

• Осуществляется координация национальных политик в области обеспечения продовольственной, энергетической безопасности, цифровизации, промышленности, устранения всевозможных барьеров. Решения в рамках ЕАЭС служат на благо и на пользу всех, кто участвует в их принятии, и не в ущерб кому-либо из государств-членов.

• Однако помимо достижений есть и проблемы. Их никто не скрывает, т.к. они устраняются в ходе взаимодействия на основе равноправного диалога и консенсуса, который достигается путём компромиссов. <...> Уважение, взаимопонимание и равенство в ЕАЭС — это не просто слова — страны-участницы идут на уступки, соизмеряя интересы, делают исключения друг для друга.

🌐 У ЕАЭС есть целый план разноуровневой, разноскоростной международной деятельности, предусматривающий в т.ч. выход на партнёров, которые стремятся к наращиванию углублённой кооперации путём создания зон свободной торговли. Действуют уже три таких соглашения с Вьетнамом, Сербией, Ираном соответственно, а также непреференциальное торговое соглашение с Китаем. Ожидаем в этом году подписания аналогичных соглашений с ОАЭ и с Монголией. На финальной стадии — согласование документа с Индонезией. Ведутся переговоры с Египтом.

• Большое евразийское партнёрство (БЕП) — это флагманская внешнеполитическая инициатива, выдвинутая Президентом Российской Федерации. Это замах на «интеграцию интеграций». Построение БЕП — это долгий, нелёгкий, разноскоростной путь в разных направлениях.

• В Большой Евразии существует целый ряд интеграционных объединений. <...> На арабском Востоке, в Южной и Юго-Восточной Азии функционируют различные группировки, но в целом полной сопряжённости между ними нет. Проект БЕП как раз нацелен на то, чтобы обеспечить связуемость, «бесшовность» в развитии торговли, взаимных инвестициях, транспортировке грузов, в сфере оказания услуг и т.д на пространстве Большой Евразии.
