🎙 Russian President’s Aide Yury Ushakov's Comment on the telephone conversation between Vladimir Putin and President of the United States Donald Trump (June 14, 2025)
💬 Yury Ushakov: President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of the United States of America Donald Trump have just had another telephone conversation.
The conversation lasted for about an hour, to be precise, for 50 minutes, it was substantive, sincere and, the main thing, very useful.
Naturally, the dangerous escalation in the Middle East was in the focus of the discussion.
Vladimir Putin denounced the Israeli’s military operation against Iran and expressed a grave concern over the possible escalation of the conflict, which would have unpredictable consequences for the entire situation in the Middle East region.
Our President advised the US counterpart on his yesterday’s telephone contacts with the Israeli Prime Minister and the President of Iran.
❗️ The Russian side stressed the exigency to thwart conflict expansion and Russia’s readiness to provide possible mediation.
The President of Russia reminded that before the current escalation, our side had proposed concrete steps aimed at reaching mutually acceptable agreements during the talks held by US and Iranian officials on the Iranian nuclear programme while Israel launched strikes virtually on the eve of the next negotiation round scheduled for June 15.
Russia's principle-based approach and interest in the settlement remain unchanged. As Vladimir Putin noted, we will continue to act proceeding from this position.
For his part, Donald Trump also views the situation as very alarming admitting, however, the effectiveness of Israel's strikes on its targets in Iran. But it is characteristic that the Russian and US presidents, notwithstanding such a complicated situation, do not rule out a return to the negotiating track on Iran’s nuclear programme.
Incidentally, as Donald Trump noted, the team of US negotiators is ready for resuming work with Iranian representatives. As it is known, five rounds of such indirect talks took place with Oman’s mediation.
In addition, our President also informed Donald Trump about executing the agreements reached by the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul on June 2. Our President underscored that these days we are performing an exchange of POWs, including those seriously wounded and under 25 years of age. Ukraine has also accepted two batches of dead bodies.
☝️ The Russian Side has expressed its readiness to continue its talks with Ukrainians, as agreed, after June 22. Donald Trump took note of this information and reiterated his interest in bringing the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to a speedy conclusion.
Of course, Vladimir Putin wished Donald Trump a happy birthday – the President of the United States turned 79 today. Both leaders have expressed satisfaction with the established personal relations that make it possible to communicate sincerely and in a businesslike mode, search for the resolution of pressing issues on the bilateral and international agendas regardless of how complicated such issues may be.
Vladimir Putin also noted that the United States are celebrating Flag Day today and 250th anniversary of the US Army. As in their previous conversation, both presidents noted their brotherhood in arms during the Second World War.

The event was attended by representatives of the Government and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, members of the public and business communities, heads and staff of diplomatic missions from friendly countries, and Russian compatriots – more than 120 guests in total.
The guest of honor at the reception was Ms Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information, and the Ministry of Health of Singapore.
In his welcome address, Ambassador Nikolay R. Kudashev congratulated the guests on Russia Day, stating:
«We are celebrating our national holiday – Day of Russia – under truly special circumstances, as it coincides with celebrations of the 80th anniversary of our country’s victory in the Great Patriotic War and the defeat of Nazism, as well as the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations – the global organization whose Charter laid the foundation for the post-war world order.
The events associated with these anniversaries demonstrate with exhaustive clarity that today’s world stands at a crossroads. The responsible actors on the global stage must make a choice about who they will go forward with – and by what path – into the future.
Should we follow the path of preserving outdated colonial and exploitative systems being imposed by their originators, or should we move forward in line with the times, toward building a new, more humane and just multipolar world?
Russia, we are confident – along with the majority of those gathered here – has made its choice. We have aligned our future with the emerging, more secure global architecture, and as an integral part of it, with a pan-continental Eurasian security layout that is indivisible and equal, with the Greater Eurasian Partnership as its economic foundation.
Within this new framework for cooperation and partnership, we see the states of the SCO, CSTO, CIS, EAEU, and of course, ASEAN as key pillars.
The outcomes of the recent ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur reaffirm our belief in the relevance of our views and their alignment with ASEAN’s aspirations to strengthen its central stabilizing role in regional affairs.
A distinctive feature of our relations with Singapore is our ability to keep moving forward despite differences – including those relating to developments on the European continent.
We intend to make every effort to ensure these positive trends continue to grow, and that Russia-Singapore exchanges gain new momentum, fueled by the evolving realities of the modern world. It is along this path that we will contribute to strengthening an atmosphere of trust and cooperation – today and for generations to come.
Our countries and peoples deserve nothing less!»
In her address, Minister of State Rahayu Mahzam wished the Russian Federation peace and prosperity, and emphasized the 57 years of cooperation between Russia and Singapore in trade, education, and culture. She noted that, despite differences, the two countries continue to develop collaboration in areas of mutual interest.
The national anthems of Singapore and Russia were performed.
Guests at the reception had the opportunity to view the exhibitions "Immortal Feat," prepared by TASS, and "The Russian Alphabet in drawings by Marina Khankova".

🇷🇺🇮🇩 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks during a joint news conference with Foreign Minister of Indonesia Sugiono following their talks (Moscow, June 17, 2025)
💬 Sergey Lavrov: As usual, we held talks with Foreign Minister of Indonesia Sugiono in an atmosphere of trust, and in an open, friendly and constructive manner.
Once again, we noted the fact that our two countries marked 75 years of Russia-Indonesia diplomatic relations in February 2025. These relations have been gathering momentum lately. We have established regular trust-based political dialogue at the highest and high levels. There are also regular inter-parliamentary exchanges. Today, we expressed our shared interest in having our respective political parties work with certain neighbouring countries and other nations. In addition, the ruling parties of both Russia and Indonesia could contribute to various frameworks which shape our strategic partnership.
We had a detailed discussion of our bilateral agenda, as well as regional and international affairs. Both our countries are looking forward to stepping up cooperation in defence and security matters, in particular in cybersecurity, law enforcement, including fighting cybercrime, drug trafficking, and extremism. We also spoke out in favour of consolidating the legal framework governing our relations.
We noted that cooperation between Russian and Indonesian navies for holding joint exercises has been gathering momentum. As usual, building on its existing experience and know-how, our country is ready to review any requests our Indonesian friends might have in terms of our military-technical cooperation <...>
Having Indonesia sign a free trade agreement with the EAEU could have a major impact in terms of strengthening economic cooperation with our Indonesian friends. This agreement is about to be finalised. We hope that it will be signed without delay <...>
We pointed out that our positions on the majority of international issues, including the most important current matters, coincide or are similar. I am referring to the situation in the Middle East and the Palestinian territories, and Israel’s attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is necessary for the international community to make every possible effort to calm down and deescalate the situation and promote settlement of any disputes at the negotiating table.
It is delightful that Indonesia has joined BRICS as a full member. We emphasised that our joint work within this framework will help strengthen the multipolar foundations of global politics and economy.
We share an interest in the constructive development of the situation in the Asia-Pacific region, so that any attempts to incite confrontation there fail. Relations between Russia and ASEAN are of great significance in this context. We welcome Jakarta’s resolve to continue to encourage the development of Russia-ASEAN cooperation, in particular in light of the 35th anniversary of our dialogue partnership with the Association, which we will mark next year. We drew the attention of our colleagues to the initiative for creating a Eurasian architecture of equal and indivisible security, which the Russian Federation is promoting jointly with many other countries and which will be open to any country on the continent, unlike the schemes advocated by our Western colleagues in the form of Indo-Pacific strategies.
I expressed gratitude to our friends for their balanced stance on the conflict in Ukraine, for their understanding of the situation and their recognition of the futility of pandering to the attempts to include the Ukrainian issue in the agenda of all international organisations and platforms.

🎙 Comment by Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov following 🇷🇺🇨🇳 a telephone conversation with President of China Xi Jinping (June 19 2025)
💬 President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping. The phone call took place in keeping with the mutual agreement of the two Sides. This was a friendly and constructive conversation with a primary focus on the escalation in the Middle East.
The two Sides share identical approaches and firmly condemn Israel’s actions in violation of the UN Charter and other international norms.
Moscow and Beijing have adopted a position of principle in their belief that the current situation and matters relating to the Iranian nuclear programme cannot be resolved by force, while a solution can only be achieved by political and diplomatic means.
The President of Russia informed his colleague about his latest international contacts with a focus on his telephone conversations with the key actors in the context of the confrontation between Israel and Iran.
The Russian leader reaffirmed Russia’s readiness to offer its good offices, if necessary. <...>
In view of this increasingly challenging environment, the two Leaders agreed to instruct their respective teams in the relevant agencies and services of the two countries to work closely together in the coming days by sharing insights and perspectives. <...>
The conversation organically shifted to the bilateral agenda, with both Leaders stressing that the Chinese President’s May visit to Moscow helped set new important goals and benchmarks for the governments and relevant agencies in their ongoing efforts to reinforce the Russia-China comprehensive strategic partnership.
It was emphasised that the Chinese President’s participation as the main guest in the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War held special significance and served as a compelling testament to our shared steadfast positions in upholding historical truth and preserving the memory of the heroic feats of our forefathers. <...>
It has been agreed that the next time the Leaders will see each other will be on Chinese soil during the SCO Summit in Tianjin on August 31 – September 1. They will take part in the festivities marking the 80th anniversary of victory over militarist Japan and the end of World War II in Beijing on September 3. Full-scale bilateral talks will be held on September 2.
📈 Despite a number of adverse external factors, it was noted that trade and economic cooperation continues to gain momentum. Last year, mutual trade broke another record at almost $245 billion. <...>
The Leaders of Russia and China emphasised their mutual interest in strengthening cooperation on pressing international issues and coordinating their efforts within #BRICS, the #SCO, the #UN, and other international platforms. <...>
It was noted that it would be beneficial, in the spirit of the comprehensive strategic partnership between our countries, to coordinate mutual approaches so that the #CentralAsia region becomes a model of genuine stability, economic prosperity, and constructive cooperation.
☝️ The information we received from the President of China was highly significant and useful to us, particularly in light of our own preparations for the second high-level meeting in the Russia–Central Asia format, which is scheduled for October 10 in Dushanbe.
The Heads of State once again expressed their satisfaction with the unprecedented level of Russian-Chinese relations, and both our President and the President of China remarked at the conclusion that they were very pleased with the exchange of views. The exchange was indeed highly productive, as it addressed the most pressing issues currently on the agenda, both internationally and in terms of developing our bilateral relations and contacts.
The conversation lasted approximately an hour, and the Leaders bid each other farewell in a very warm and friendly manner.

🎙 Russia's President Vladimir Putin took part in the plenary session of the 28th St Petersburg International Economic Forum.
President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto, National Security Advisor, Commander of the Royal Guard of the Kingdom of Bahrain Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Vice Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China Ding Xuexiang, and Deputy President of the Republic of South Africa Paul Mashatile also attended the session.
Key statements:
💬 Despite a challenging international landscape, Russia’s GDP has been demonstrating an annual growth rate of over four percent over the past two years, which is above the global average.
• Commodities no longer play a defining role in Russia’s economic growth patterns. In 2023, Russia’s non-oil-and-gas GDP increased by 7.2 percent, followed by an additional 4.9 percent in 2024. These are solid figures exceeding the overall GDP growth rates.
• Our strategic vector is precisely to actively and consistently transform the structure of the national economy, step by step. We have achieved a great deal in this area, but it is clear that moving forward is critically important, especially in light of the dramatic changes taking place in the world.
• Annual inflation has already dropped to single-digit levels below ten percent. As of June 16, it stood at 9.6 percent. Of course, that is still high, but inflation targeting continues.
• Over the past four years, employment in Russia has grown by 2.4 million people. Since October last year, the national unemployment rate has stabilised at around 2.3 percent, reaching a historic low.
• In terms of youth unemployment, Russia ranks among the best globally, with a rate of approximately seven and a half percent.
For comparison, youth unemployment stands at around 16 percent in France and 11 percent in the United Kingdom.
• Russia’s economy must become more technologically advanced. We must fully unleash a new phase of the country’s technological development. The key instrument in this regard should be the national projects aimed at securing technological leadership.

🇷🇺🇮🇩 On the sidelines of the 28th St Petersburg International Economic Forum, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin held a meeting with President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto, who is in Russia on an official visit (June 19, 2025)
💬 Vladimir Putin: Mr President, friends. I am happy to welcome you to St Petersburg.
We previously met in Moscow before your inauguration, and now, during your official visit, we have the opportunity to discuss our bilateral relations in greater detail.
Tomorrow, we will participate in the plenary session of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, where you will be our guest of honour. This forum has long served as a valuable platform, bringing together a wide range of entrepreneurs and political leaders from around the world.
🤝 Our relations with Indonesia are steadily advancing, with trade turnover on the rise and strong prospects across several key and promising areas of cooperation. These include agriculture, space exploration, energy, and military-technical cooperation. The scope of our partnership is substantial and continues to expand.
Indonesia is now a full-fledged member of #BRICS, and we very much hope — in fact, I am sure of it — that Indonesia will contribute significantly to the development and work of this organisation, which is becoming more and more influential in international affairs.
We are very pleased to see you, Mr President. Welcome.

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry statement in connection with the US strikes on Iran (June 22, 2025)
❗️ Russia resolutely condemns the United States’ strikes on several nuclear facilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran, carried out in the early hours of June 22, following recent attacks by Israel.
This reckless decision to launch missile and aerial strikes on the territory of a sovereign state, regardless of the justifications offered, constitutes a blatant violation of international law, the #UNCharter, and relevant resolutions by the UN Security Council, which has consistently and unequivocally deemed such actions unacceptable. Particularly concerning is the fact that the strikes were executed by a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
☢️ The consequences of this action, including potential radioactive effects, have yet to be determined. However, it is already evident that a dangerous escalation is underway, one that threatens to further destabilise security both in the region and globally. This has drastically increased the likelihood of a larger conflict in the #MiddleEast, a region already plagued by numerous crises.
The attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities have dealt a substantial blow to the global non-proliferation regime built around the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (#NPT), which raises particular concerns. They have significantly undermined both the credibility of the NPT and the integrity of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) monitoring and verification mechanisms that underpin it.
We expect the IAEA leadership to respond promptly, professionally, and transparently, avoiding vague language or efforts to hide behind political ‘equidistance.’ An unbiased and objective report from the Director General is required, to be submitted for consideration at the Agency’s upcoming special session.
Obviously, the UN Security Council must take a firm stance as well. Confrontational and destabilising actions taken by the United States and Israel must be collectively rejected.
☝️ We call for an immediate end to aggression and for stepping up efforts to bring the situation back onto a peaceful, diplomatic track.

On this day in 1941, at 4 a.m., the most devastating, brutal, and bloodiest war ever fought on our planet began — the Great Patriotic War, as Nazi Germany launched its treacherous attack on the Soviet Union.
In an instant, the hopes of millions of families were shattered, and the lives of entire generations were changed forever. The memory of those dark years — and the enduring sorrow — will forever remain in our hearts.
Yet despite all the hardships and suffering endured by our fathers and grandfathers, our mothers and grandmothers, Russia stood firm. The entire nation rose to defend its Homeland. That is why we can also call June 22 a day of pride — pride in those who gave their lives so that the war would end in May 1945. It lasted 1,418 days and nights.
Today, every Russian family pays tribute and expresses gratitude to all those who faced the enemy's first strike, to those who did not live to see the bright day of Victory, but believed in it and fought courageously against fascism.
We will never forget — and we will never allow others to forget.
On this important day in our national history, we invite you to explore the exhibition “Soviet Diplomacy During the Great Patriotic War, 1941–1945.”
22 июня 1941 года, в 4 часа утра началась самая разрушительная, жестокая и кровопролитная из всех войн, когда-либо прошедших на нашей планете - Великая Отечественная война: фашистская Германия напала на Советский Союз.
В одночасье разрушились надежды миллионов семей, были поломаны судьбы целых поколений. Память о тех грозных годах - как и не утихающая скорбь - навсегда останется в наших сердцах.
Но несмотря на все тяготы и невзгоды, выпавшие на долю наших отцов и дедов, наших матерей, Россия устояла. На защиту своей страны поднялся весь народ. И поэтому 22 июня мы можем назвать и днём гордости. За тех, кто отдал свои жизни, чтобы эта война закончилась в мае 1945 - года. Она длилась 1418 дней и ночей.
Сегодня каждая российская семья отдаёт долг памяти и признательности всем, кто принял на себя первый удар врага, кто не дожил до светлого Дня Победы, но верил в него, принимая неравный бой с фашистами.
Мы этого никогда не забудем и не позволим забыть никому!
В этот важный день отечественной истории мы представляем вашему вниманию выставку «Советская дипломатия в годы Великой Отечественной войны 1941-1945 гг.»

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Statement regarding the spiralling escalation in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf
❌ The attacks carried out by the United States and Israel against Iran – as the Russian Side had previously warned – have resulted in a sharp deterioration and radical destabilisation of the situation in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf.
This constitutes an exceptionally dangerous erosion of global and regional security, entailing long-term and profoundly detrimental repercussions, including for trade and economic relations, air and maritime connectivity, and, not least, the non-proliferation regime.
The unprovoked aggression by the United States and Israel against Iran – their brazen attempts to effect regime change, infringe upon the country’s sovereignty, interfere in its internal affairs, and impose a political trajectory upon the Iranian people – represents a flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations and the fundamental norms and principles of international law.
❗️ Such an unacceptable course of action must be brought to an immediate end.
Once again, we reiterate our call to halt the escalation of armed confrontation and to refrain from provocative actions and incendiary rhetoric. Now more than ever, it is imperative to return to political and diplomatic avenues and to reaffirm the primacy of international legality.
It is precisely in pursuit of these objectives that Russia will continue to pursue an active policy within the frameworks of the #UN and the #IAEA, as well as through bilateral engagements with a broad range of stakeholders.
