❌ Лондон вновь объявил о расширении незаконных ограничений в отношении России – в этот раз под надуманным предлогом борьбы с некими «криптовалютными сетями».
Британские власти упорно отказываются принять очевидное: антироссийская санкционная политика бессмысленна. Наша страна давно и успешно адаптировалась к внешнему давлению и не изменит своего курса из-за прихотей Лондона.
Последствия множащихся рестрикций будут отражаться, прежде всего, на подданных, бизнесе и репутации самого Соединённого Королевства. Это, судя по всему, мало беспокоит авторов подобных инициатив.
Примечательно, что британские власти обвиняют других в использовании «непрозрачных финансовых механизмов». При этом сами игнорируют щедрые криптопожертвования, оседающие в карманах местного политического класса. Возможно, борьба с «теневыми схемами» должна начинаться с Вестминстера, а не Бишкека или Тбилиси.

◾️ The Kiev regime’s gruesome terrorist attack on the academic building and dormitory of the Lugansk State Pedagogical University College claimed 21 young lives (most of them girls born in 2006-2007), with more than 60 people injured.
Two days later, after rescuers had completed their search, foreign correspondents were invited to visit the site of the tragedy. The BBC was not among them – it refused outright. CNN was absent, citing holidays. Japanese journalists did not come either – Tokyo banned them from travelling to Starobelsk.
Many others, however, chose to see with their own eyes the aftermath of the crime committed by the Ukrainian militants on the night of May 22: the ruins, the witnesses, and the hospital where the injured are being treated.

❌ London has once again announced an expansion of unlawful restrictions against Russia – this time under the spurious pretext of combatting so-called "crypto networks".
The UK authorities persist in their refusal to acknowledge the obvious: the anti-Russian sanctions policy is futile. Russia has long since adapted to external pressure and will not alter its course on account of London's whims.
The consequences of these multiplying restrictions will primarily affect the citizens, businesses, and reputation of the United Kingdom itself. This, however, appears to trouble the authors of such initiatives very little.
It is noteworthy that the UK authorities accuse others of using "shadow financial systems". At the same time, they turn a blind eye to generous cryptocurrency donations finding their way into the pockets of the British political class. Perhaps the fight against "dark networks" should begin in Westminster rather than in Bishkek or Tbilisi.

Happy birthday, dear Saint Petersburg!
😍 On this day in 1703, Peter the Great laid the first stone of the Peter and Paul Fortress – and one of Europe's most dazzling cities was born. What started as a wartime outpost quickly grew into Russia's capital, a role it held for over two centuries until the government moved back to Moscow after the 1917 Revolution.
The city has a turbulent history. It survived devastating floods, revolutions, and the 872-day Siege during World War II. It even changed its name three times: from Saint Petersburg to Petrograd (1914), then Leningrad (1924), and back again to Saint Petersburg in 1991.
Today, St Petersburg remains one of the world's great cultural capitals – famous for its grandiose architecture, rivers and canals, the legendary White Nights, and the iconic drawbridges rising over the Neva after midnight.
It is also home to globally renowned landmarks such as the Hermitage, the Russian Museum, and the Mariinsky Theatre. Every corner of this city tells a story.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia’s press conference on Ukraine’s strikes on the pedagogical college in Starobelsk (New York, 26 May 2026)
Video of the press conference
💬 As you know, on May 22, the Ukrainian militants carried out a targeted strike on a college and a dormitory in the city of Starobelsk, LPR.
The dormitory housed 86 students aged between 14 and 19, as well as one staff member. Children and teenagers were inside the building.
They were not on the battlefield. They were not taking part – and could not have taken part – in hostilities. They were asleep. It was at that very moment that the strike took place, turning an ordinary night in a student dormitory into a nightmare.
According to the latest reports, 21 people were killed in this horrific attack, most of them young girls, and 63 students were injured. Many of the wounded remain in hospital, some in critical condition.
❗️The strike did not target a command post, fortified positions, an ammunition depot or military barracks – it targeted a civilian facility.
***
The deliberate nature of the attack is also evidenced by the fact that it was carried out in three waves involving 16 UAVs, all striking the same location. As a result, the five-storey dormitory building collapsed down to the second floor.
This is yet another glaring manifestation of the Nazi and terrorist nature of the Kiev regime, which does not hesitate to carry out the cold-blooded killing of minors. Russian investigative authorities have opened a criminal case under the article on a terrorist act.
👉 All those responsible will be identified and will face inevitable and severe punishment.
***
To dispel any doubts, on May 24, the Russian Side invited more than 50 foreign journalists from 19 countries to Starobelsk – including Austria, Brazil, the UK, Hungary, Venezuela, Germany, Greece, Spain, Italy, Qatar, China, Cuba, Lebanon, the UAE, Pakistan, the US, Türkiye, Finland and France – so that they could see with their own eyes what had happened there.
They confirmed the accuracy of the information we had provided.
Western capitals can talk endlessly about children’s rights, but their reaction to the tragedy in Starobelsk shows that, in their worldview, children have long been divided into “convenient” and “inconvenient” victims.
When a child’s suffering can be used against Russia, an international scandal erupts immediately. But when children are killed as a result of the Kiev regime’s deliberate actions, it is as if the tragedy never happened – only reservations, doubts and references to “context” remain.
⚠️ This is no longer even double standards. It is moral decay and disgrace.

🎙 Russia's Permanent Representative to the OSCE Dmitry Polyanskiy's statement on deliberate attacks on civilians as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law (26 May 2026)
💬 The absence of condemnation from the OSCE regarding this barbaric attack [against a teacher training college in Starobelsk] appeared shameful and cowardly.
The Swiss presidency and the relevant structures of the organization pretended not to see how the bodies of children killed by the Zelensky regime were being pulled from the concrete rubble, despite the fact that these images have circulated around the world.
In the spirit of selective blindness that has engulfed all our Western colleagues, you, Mr. Chairman, hid behind the ludicrous excuse that you are not aware of the circumstances of the massacre in Starobelsk, while in other situations you immediately accept any claims from the Kiev junta as fact and demand no investigations. This is the height of cynicism, and I believe you understand this very well.
The same blindness suddenly afflicted leading Western media, which sent no one to Starobelsk, despite invitations and guarantees of safety provided by the Russian side. Why would they need access to documents and the opportunity to ask questions of investigators and victims? They have long ceased to be journalists and have become propagandists.
❗️ The truth is no longer necessary for them; it does not fit into the deceitful anti-Russian narratives they promote.

🎙 Интервью Посла России в Великобритании Андрея Келина телеканалу «Звезда» (27 мая 2026 года)
Основные тезисы:
• Подавляющее большинство британских СМИ старательно отрабатывают политический заказ по дискредитации нашей страны. Действия российских военных подаются в качестве целенаправленных атак на гражданское население Украины. В то же время кровавые преступления киевского режима против мирных жителей здесь абсолютно замалчиваются.
• На днях наше Министерство организовало для иностранных корреспондентов, находящихся в Москве, посещение места трагедии в Старобельске. Представители BBC отказались, причём без всякой причины. Репортёр Reuters принял участие в поездке. Тем не менее, опубликованная [информагентством] статья получилась подчёркнуто отстранённой.
• Итоги [прошедших в Британии местных] выборов отразили недовольство населения социально-экономическим неблагополучием <...> Сохраняется большая инфляция, растут цены на электроэнергию, сокращаются пособия, [наблюдаются] огромные проблемы в здравоохранении. Всё это оттеняется миграционным кризисом.
• Подготовка [Британии] к войне с Россией идёт больше на словах. Хотя увеличилось количество военных манёвров с участием британских вооружённых сил и подразделений. К ним всё чаще привлекаются союзники по НАТО, в основном из Северной Европы и Прибалтики <...> Тем не менее, несмотря на браваду местного официоза, британские вооружённые силы сталкиваются с рядом системных проблем – от нехватки финансирования и устаревания военной техники до кадрового дефицита и даже кризиса военной юстиции.
• Полный запрет Британии на ввоз продуктов переработки российской нефти из третьих стран был продиктован фантазиями о собственном политико-экономическом величии. Никто не учёл, что почти половина потребляемого в стране дизельного топлива обеспечивается за счёт импорта, а около 65% авиакеросина поступает из стран Персидского залива <...> В итоге Лондон бессрочно отложил вступление в силу мер, принятых в приступе украинофилии.

⚡️ Report by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia “On the Human Rights Situation in Ukraine” (May 2026)
Read the full report (PDF)
✍️ The report, alongside daily evidence in the media and online, exposes the scale of Ukraine’s human rights collapse.
First and foremost, the main reason for this degradation is the illegitimate neo-Nazi regime in power in Kiev, which is now quite openly and diligently copying its ideological inspiration – Nazi Germany.
One of many telling confirmations of this was a recent interview with former Ukrainian presidential press secretary Yulia Mendel, in which she said that Zelensky, faced with falling approval ratings, demanded that his subordinates conduct “Goebbels-like propaganda”. With such approaches on the part of the authorities, countless systematic human rights violations in every sphere of public life come as no surprise.
Yet in Ukraine, no one seems concerned. Kiev does not give a thought to the rights of its own citizens, or to the need to create at least some opportunities for them to exercise their lawful rights. Instead, it continues to profit from their blood and deaths.
Recently, the West confirmed new tranches of financial injections and weapons for the Zelensky regime. The monstrous corruption opportunities created by these enormous flows of funds, along with the preservation of power – this is what preoccupies Bankova and its residents. In today’s Ukrainian reality, this means only one thing: continued hostilities “to the last Ukrainian”.
All of this fully confirms what has been noted before: the servile readiness of Kiev’s leadership to sacrifice its country, its people, as well as the history and memory of its authentic past, is precisely why its Western handlers continue not only to turn a blind eye to the neo-Nazi ideology and crimes of the Zelensky junta, but also to justify them and even push Kiev towards ever new crimes.
History knows many such examples of the West nurturing openly racist and fascist regimes. Their unenviable fate is well known – and perhaps that is the only way they secure a place in history. This was discussed at length during the celebrations marking the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

Glorification of Nazism
• At the state level, Ukraine is falsifying history and whitewashing Nazi criminals and fascist collaborators. Members of Ukrainian nationalist military formations from the Second World War – the OUN and UPA – as well as their leaders, have been recognised as fighters for independence. Criminal liability has been introduced for negative assessments of the activities of these structures.
Ban on the Russian language
• The Kiev regime is pursuing a consistent policy of legislatively entrenching the dominant role of the Ukrainian language and reducing opportunities for the use of other languages in public life. The Russian language – native to millions of Ukrainian citizens, not only ethnic Russians, but also Belarusians, Ukrainians, Armenians, Jews, Greeks, Hungarians and representatives of other nationalities – has been subjected to harsh repressions.
Incitement of hatred against Russians and discrimination against them
• Regular efforts have been recorded to promote intolerance towards Russian residents, the Russian language and Russian culture as a whole. Such actions not only met with no condemnation or response from the authorities, but were also carried out by Ukraine’s own leadership. Russophobic statements and calls to kill Russians were regularly heard on air.
Persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church
• A large-scale information campaign was launched against the clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, aimed at discrediting its priests in the eyes of the flock and portraying them as “accomplices of the enemy”. Numerous cases of violent seizures of churches belonging to the canonical Church have been recorded.
