🎙️Russian Embassy comment on false allegations regarding Russia in UK media
▪︎Recent insinuations by British media attempting to link criminal actors operating in cyberspace to the Russian state are false, groundless and unjustifiable.
▪︎Russia, being itself a target for continuous cyberattacks, including from Western Europe, has staunchly supported coherent law enforcement action across the globe in this sensitive domain.
☝️We were the first country to propose the development of a universal UN-led mechanism focused on cybercrimes.
❗Regrettably, the UK has chosen to refrain from bilateral and multilateral cooperation in this field with Russia - to the benefit of the criminals.

⚡️ Statement by FMs of Member States of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation on the situation in the Middle East and North Africa
Key points:
✍️ We, Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, and the Republic of Tajikistan:
• Express concern with the persistence of a number of seats of instability in the Middle East and North Africa, where the situation is characterised by the lack of proper regulation of armed conflicts and consolidation of negative trends in the economy
• We are in favour of dealing with all the existing internal and interstate conflicts and differences in the Middle East and North Africa by diplomatic methods via a political dialogue and with support from the UN and the key regional organisations and in full conformity with the basic norms of international law.
• We are expressing profound concern with the current escalation in the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. We condemn the killing of dozens of thousand civilians, and call for an immediate end to combat operations.
• We reaffirm the conviction that it is possible to stabilise the situation solely by finding a comprehensive solution to the Palestinian problem on the well-known international legal basis that includes the UN Security Council and General Assembly resolutions, as well as the Arab Peace Initiative, and implies the creation of a Palestinian state within the June 4, 1967 borders with the capital in East Jerusalem.
• We reaffirm our steadfast and invariable commitment to sovereignty, independence, unity, and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic and condemn any actions posing a threat thereto. We underscore the need for the cessation of any foreign military presence in that country, which violates international law.
• We note the importance of putting an immediate end to the armed confrontation in the Sudan. We express conviction that any differences should be settled at the negotiating table.

#Ukraine
NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg soured Zelensky’s mood by saying that Ukraine would only join NATO after it secured victory over Russia.
The Alliance clearly understands – both collectively and personally, just as Jens Stoltenberg does – that this will not come about, that Russia won’t be defeated. In other words, Kiev’s perennial efforts to join NATO have cost Ukraine its life.
Mr Stoltenberg will never admit this. But then, a day may come when their cynicism, Russophobia and disdainful attitude not only to Ukraine but also to all Slavic nations will force them to admit this. One day they will admit why they began this gamble.
#Sanctions
Today any country can lose its sovereign assets kept in the West if the United States and its client countries become displeased with that country’s domestic or foreign policy for any reason. Everyone can see that Washington, Brussels, London and their associates are expanding restrictions under far-fetched pretexts. <...>
Not surprisingly, Western currencies and reserve instruments are becoming increasingly toxic, and Western economies are rapidly losing their competitiveness and attraction for foreign assets. <...>
It is the price they will pay for stealing others’ assets, for geopolitical scheming and harassment, for interfering in others’ affairs with the use of illegal instruments, such as sanctions.

The official ceremony involved combined regiments from all fronts, the Navy, military academies and schools, as well as units of the Moscow Garrison.
🕙 The parade began at 10 am sharp and lasted for over two hours. Marshal of the Soviet Union Konstantin Rokossovsky commanded the parade, with Deputy Supreme Commander in Chief – Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov taking the parade.
In all, 12 combined regiments were deployed ahead of this history-making event. Each regiment consisted of over 1'000 most distinguished service personnel, including Heroes of the Soviet Union and holders of the Order of Glory.
As the Kremlin Chimes started ringing, Marshal Georgy Zhukov exited the Spasskaya Tower Gate, riding a white horse. Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky sitting on a black horse approached him and reported that everything was ready for the parade.
At the same time, a brass band comprising 1'400 musicians deployed in the square’s central section and performed the patriotic song Glory to You, My Russia by Mikhail Glinka. The marshals inspected the troops and greeted the participants. After that, Marshal Zhukov mounted the rostrum of the Lenin Mausoleum and delivered an official speech.
On June 24, 1945, about 40'000 service personnel marched through Red Square, and about 1'850 pieces of military equipment rolled past. At the end of the parade, 200 banners of defeated German forces were thrown to the ground in front of the Lenin Mausoleum.
The parade ended at noon to the sounds of a march played by a combined brass band of the Moscow Garrison. In all, the parade involved 24 marshals, 249 generals, 2'536 other officers, as well as 31'116 sergeants and soldiers.

❗️ Foreign Ministry statement on the terrorist attack at Sevastopol
On June 23, the Kiev regime, with support from the US and its satellites, committed yet another heinous terrorist crime against civilians in Russia by firing missiles at Sevastopol. For their terrorist attack, they specially chose a day – Holy Trinity Sunday – one of the most important holidays celebrated by the Russian Orthodox Church.
◼️ Four people were killed, including a two-year-old boy, who was playing on the municipal beach, and a nine-year-old girl. 151 people applied for medical assistance; 82 – 55 adults and 27 children – were hospitalised, many of them in a grave condition. All patients are receiving skilled medical aid.
According to the Defence Ministry of Russia, the attackers used US ATACMS operational missiles with cluster warheads for greater kill ability. All flight data was entered by US military crews based on US reconnaissance satellite inputs. A Global Hawk US reconnaissance drone was on duty off Crimea.
The Investigative Committee of Russia has promptly started an investigation into this crime. All those implicated in this and other terrorist attacks in the territory of the Russian Federation will incur inevitable punishment.
There is no doubt that the United States is involved in this ominous crime. <...> A response to this crime will inevitably follow.
☝️ The Western capitals continue to criminally hush up the Zelensky regime’s barbarous actions. There are no denouncements from international organisations either. The Russian Federation is again urging them to give a proper assessment to yet another outrage perpetrated by the Kiev regime and the West.
Russia expresses its sincere gratitude for the condolences conveyed by officials from friendly states and by members of the European and US public. The words of commiseration continue to come in.
🕯 We commiserate with Sevastopol, where a day of mourning has been announced today. We express condolences to the families and friends of the victims and wish an early recovery to the wounded.

⚡️On the summoning of the US Ambassador to Russia Lynne Tracy to the Russian Foreign Ministry
🗓 On June 24, US Ambassador to Russia Lynne Tracy was summoned to the Foreign Ministry, where she was presented with a demarche in connection with a new bloody crime committed by the Kiev regime, patronised and armed by Washington, which launched a well-targeted missile attack on civilians in Sevastopol that led to numerous casualties, including among children.
It was stressed that the US was conducting a hybrid war against Russia and supplying the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the most advanced weapons, including ATACMS missiles with cluster warheads used against Sevastopol residents, which actually made the US a party to the conflict. Moreover, the targeting and flight data entry is performed by US military crews and therefore the US shares equal responsibility with the Kiev regime for this outrage.
❗️ The ambassador was told that Washington’s actions of this sort, including its permission to fire at targets in the Russian hinterland, actions that were aimed at encouraging the pro-Nazi authorities in Ukraine to continue hostilities “until the last Ukrainian,” would not be left unpunished.
Retaliatory measures are certain to follow.

🎙️Комментарий Посольства в связи с попытками обелить роль НАТО в текущем кризисе европейской безопасности
▪︎Обратили внимание на предпринятую Министерством обороны Великобритании лицемерную попытку представить Североатлантический альянс защитником мира, безопасности и свободы, а Россию – в качестве «агрессора».
▪︎Этот сомнительный тезис опровергается простыми фактами из истории после окончания «холодной войны». Прежде всего – полномасштабной вооруженной агрессией НАТО против Союзной Республики Югославии в 1999 г. с последующим противозаконным отторжением части ее территории в нарушение Устава ООН и других основополагающих норм международного права.
▪︎Широкомасштабные агрессивные действия были предприняты основными членами НАТО против Ирака и Ливии с задействованием инфраструктуры и различных военных возможностей альянса. В ряду «достижений» необходимо упомянуть печально известные решения саммита НАТО в Бухаресте в 2008 г. о том, что Украина и Грузия в будущем будут приняты в НАТО. Трагические последствия этого шага будут еще долго ощущаться на постсоветском пространстве.
▪︎Деятельность альянса не предлагает позитивной повестки и не вносит вклад в поддержание мира и безопасности. Красноречивый пример: в нарушение данных руководству бывшего СССР обещаний Запад спустил на тормозах реализацию объединительной схемы с созданием пространства единой и неделимой безопасности в Европе. Вместо этого Запад избрал стратегию расширения зоны своего исключительного влияния под военно-политическим «зонтиком» НАТО.
☝️Этими действиями страны-члены НАТО перечеркнули собственные обязательства, взятые на себя в рамках итогового документа Стамбульского саммита ОБСЕ 1999 г., согласно которым государства-участники Организации «не будут укреплять свою безопасность за счет безопасности других государств».
❗Руководство альянса и его ведущих стран-членов сыграло определяющую роль в развязывании и поддержании украинского конфликта, нацеленного исключительно на сдерживание нашей страны и нанесение ей «стратегического поражения». Приведение к власти в 2014 г. в результате антиконституционного госпереворота украинских националистов, опирающихся на нацистское наследие Бандеры и Шухевича; поджог Дома профсоюзов в Одессе; восьмилетняя военная осада Донбасса и блокада российского Крыма; подавление русскоязычия и православия; саботаж Минских соглашений; подготовка к вооруженной агрессии против ДНР и ЛНР; а сегодня – и открытые террористические вылазки и обстрелы мирных российских городов с помощью поставленного натовцами оружия наподобие воскресного удара по Севастополю – звенья одной цепи, тянущейся в Вашингтон, Лондон и Брюссель.
☝️Попытки Минобороны Великобритании прикрыть агрессивный оскал НАТО «овечьей шкурой» собственного изготовления неубедительны. Россия никакой стране альянса не угрожала и не угрожает. Как нам постоянно говорят руководители западных стран и функционеры самой организации, это НАТО уже много лет готовится к конфликту с Россией. В этих условиях наша страна продолжит планомерную работу над обеспечением жизненно важных интересов своей безопасности на западном направлении.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during expanded-format talks with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Belarus Sergey Aleinik (Minsk, June 24, 2024)
💬 Sergey Lavrov: It is always a pleasure to be among friends on the hospitable Belarusian land in Minsk.
In addition to excellent conditions for joint work (we have a lot on our agenda), Minsk offers excellent opportunity to communicate with old acquaintances and comrades as well.
Thank you for expressing condolences in connection with yesterday’s terrorist attack in Sevastopol. There was another terrorist attack with casualties in Dagestan. The relevant competent authorities are doing their best to swiftly identify the perpetrators and those who ordered the attack.
We have no doubt that the United States and its Ukrainian underlings are involved in it. The weapons supplied by Washington to the Ukrainian regime were used in the attack. These weapons cannot be used without the direct involvement of the US military, including their satellite capabilities.
You have emphasised the importance of preserving historical memory no matter what. This applies to the terrorist threat which does not subside on the ground, including with regard to our respective countries, and the memory of the Great Patriotic War, which has come under attack from numerous angles. Attempts are being made to rewrite history, and to equate the victor and the aggressor. Monuments are being torn down, and Nazi criminals are being glorified.
Key talking points:
• During the recent “summit on peace in Ukraine” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau shouted out Nazi slogans, and no one, including “neutral” Swiss hosts, dared to call him to order.
• Our interaction is more valuable than ever given the circumstances. In recent years, it has reached unprecedented heights.
• This is my third trip to Minsk and our sixth meeting this year. We know there will be more this year. I appreciate the invitation to attend the second Minsk Conference on Eurasian Security, which will be held on October 31-November 1. We will definitely be there.

🎙️Комментарий Посольства относительно развития ситуации вокруг Дж.Ассанжа
▪︎Рассматриваем состоявшееся 24 июня в Лондоне освобождение Дж.Ассанжа из-под стражи как устранение одной из несправедливостей, объектом которых стал основатель «Викиликс». Надеемся, что это позволит журналисту восстановить серьезно пошатнувшееся в британской тюрьме здоровье и вернуться к полноценной жизни.
▪︎Вместе с тем очевидно, что вчерашнее событие – результат договоренностей Дж.Ассанжа и американской стороны, и еще предстоит увидеть, выполнит ли Вашингтон свою часть сделки. В любом случае заслуг британского правосудия в этом нет. Здешние власти сначала постановили лишить журналиста свободы и экстрадировать, а потом упустили возможность принять принципиальное решение об отказе от этой несправедливой и нелегитимной линии.
▪︎Все эти годы они действовали в интересах США и делали за них «грязную работу» по изоляции Дж.Ассанжа в рамках коллективного преследования, которое попирало основополагающие принципы свободы слова и прав человека. Теперь попросту отреагировали на отмашку из-за океана.
☝️На совести британского правительства и судебной системы навсегда останутся пять с лишним лет, которые основатель «Викиликс» провел в тяжелейших условиях одиночного заключения тюрьмы строгого режима, скорее предусмотренных для террористов, и те последствия, которые это имело для него лично и его семьи, а также для мировой журналистики и независимых СМИ в целом.

☝️На совести британского правительства и судебной системы навсегда останутся пять с лишним лет, которые основатель «Викиликс» провел в тяжелейших условиях одиночного заключения тюрьмы строгого режима, скорее предусмотренных для террористов, и те последствия, которые это имело для него лично и его семьи, а также для мировой журналистики и независимых СМИ в целом.

⚡️ The Foreign Ministry’s statement on retaliatory measures in response to the 14th package of EU sanctions against Russia
🔻 The European Union continues its confrontational policy with regard to Russia. The EU is trying to bring pressure to bear on the Russian Federation by introducing unilateral restrictions. On June 24, the EU countries approved the 14th package of sanctions. These actions are illegitimate from the international legal point of view, because they are taken in circumvention of the UN Security Council. They also lack prospects and can only undermine the Global Majority’s trust in the EU.
In response to these unfriendly steps, Russia has significantly expanded the list of representatives of European institutions and EU member states, who are banned from entering the Russian Federation under Federal Law On the Procedure for Leaving the Russian Federation and Entering the Russian Federation No 114-FZ dated August 15, 1996:
• representatives of the military and law enforcement agencies and EU countries’ government and commercial organisations, as well as citizens of EU member states responsible for rendering military assistance to the Kiev regime;
• employees of European institutions and EU countries’ government bodies implicated in persecuting Russian officials for alleged “illegal arrests and kidnappings from Ukrainian territories,” involved in organising a “special tribunal” for Russian leaders, officials who advocate confiscating Russian state assets or using revenues from them in the interests of the Kiev regime, officials responsible for introducing sanctions against Russia and trying to undermine its relations with other countries;
• civil activists and representatives of the scientific community notorious for their rhetoric.
The Russian stop-list also includes representatives of the Council of Europe, members of the legislative assemblies of the EU countries and their national delegations to PACE, who systematically coin aggressive statements targeting the Russian Federation.
☝️ Russia reaffirms that any unfriendly steps from the Western countries will not be left without a retaliation.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during a meeting with President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko (Minsk, June 25, 2024)
💬 Thank you for your kind words about the foreign ministries of our countries. We do our best to achieve the strategic goals that you and President of Russia Vladimir Putin have set in foreign policy, and to organise our foreign political activities in a manner that provides diplomatic support for integration.
Yesterday, we signed the Joint Statement on the Main Foreign Policy Tasks of the Union Integration of Russia and Belarus. The statement directs us to always consider the interests of the Union State rather than the interests of Minsk or Moscow separately when strengthening our coordination.
All the agreements concerning the Shanghai Cooperation Organisations have been finalised. As the first act of the Summit in Astana, Belarus will be officially accepted as a full #SCO Member State. Minsk will participate in all events on par with the other members.
🌐 We can report on other matters as well. Yesterday, we held a detailed discussion about the #UN and the #OSCE. You are fortunate in that Belarus was never a member of the Council of Europe, so you did not have to withdraw.
Eurasian security are under discussion as well. Both you and Vladimir Putin have voiced your proposals.
<...>
👉 Mr Aleinik and I discussed how to promote the concept of Eurasian security and get more like-minded Parties involved. I believe this concept has good prospects.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 June 25 marks the 32nd Anniversary of diplomatic relations between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. On June 25, 1992, the Sides signed a protocol in Minsk, which formalised the intention of both independent states to strengthen trade, political, economic and cultural ties.
🤝 Over the years, our countries have steadily expanded bilateral contacts in all spheres of collaboration and have confidently progressed towards building the Union State. In the current complicated environment, the Sides have achieved an entirely new level of Russian-Belarusian integration.
Trade volumes are steadily increasing. Russia, as the main trade partner of Belarus, accounts for about 60 percent of the country’s trade balance. In 2023, bilateral trade expanded by over 5 percent and reached a record-breaking $46.5 billion.
The Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus share approaches to the majority of global and regional issues, and provide each other with comradely assistance at various multilateral platforms.
