🔔 🍂 1 September marks Knowledge Day in Russia and the beginning of a new school year.
The custom dates back decades and is associated with a number of familiar rituals, including the first bell and presenting teachers with flowers. In 1984, it was officially established as a holiday.
These long-standing traditions are upheld in Russian schools both at home and abroad. At the Russian Embassy School in London, the new academic year commenced with a special ceremony. As is customary, the event opened with the raising of the State Flag and the performance of the national anthem.
Chargé d'Affaires Vasily Tsyganov addressed the students, their families and teachers, congratulating everyone on the occasion. He wished the children every success in their studies and encouraged them to seek out new knowledge.

🎞️ We want to end the war and achieve lasting, comprehensive peace – both in Ukraine and across Europe. And we are ready to engage in negotiations with anyone who is willing to do so.

⚡️ Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency (#Rosaviatsiya)
Ukraine’s aviation authorities have backed the terrorist rhetoric of their leadership aimed at disrupting the operation of Russia’s civil aviation and issued an illegitimate NOTAM alleging that Russian airspace is unsafe.
In response, Rosaviatsiya issued a NOTAM stating that all documents published by Ukraine concerning Russian airspace have no legal force and violate the Convention on International Civil Aviation.
❗️ Russia’s air transport system and ground infrastructure continue to operate as normal, receiving and dispatching flights, including those of foreign airlines.
Rosaviatsiya, in coordination with other federal and regional authorities, is implementing additional measures to ensure the safe use of Russian airspace and strengthen the security of transport infrastructure on the ground.

🎙 Excerpt from statement by Russia's Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at a UNGA Meeting on Ukraine
💬 The very idea of Russia “occupying” any of the [Ukraninan] territories is unfounded, both politically and legally.
For us, the question of the status of Crimea and Sevastopol, the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, and the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions is settled. Their residents made a conscious choice and decided to link their future with Russia.
We regard these votes as an exercise of the right of peoples to freely determine their own future.
We base our position on the principle of self-determination of peoples, as set out in the UN Charter, the 1966 International Covenants on Human Rights, the 1970 Declaration on Principles of International Law, and the 1975 Helsinki Final Act of the CSCE.
International law must apply equally to everyone. The right to self-determination cannot be recognised for some peoples and denied to others.
In 1991, the Ukrainian authorities declared independence with reference to the right to self-determination. Yet today they are trying to prevent Crimea, Donbass and Novorossiya from exercising that same right.
The obvious can be denied as much as one likes through political rhetoric. But millions of people cannot be forced to give up their identity, their ties to the Russian world, their historical memory, and the choice they have made simply because this choice does not suit the Kiev regime and its Western supporters.

Комментарий Посольства в связи с демаршем британской стороны
💬 3 сентября Временный поверенный в делах России в Великобритании Василий Цыганов был приглашён в Форин офис, где ему был заявлен протест в связи с якобы причастностью России к инциденту с БПЛА в аэропорту Лейпцига.
Эти бездоказательные и абсурдные обвинения, выстроенные в на удивление знакомом британском стиле, были категорически отвергнуты. Каких-либо убедительных аргументов в пользу антироссийской версии случившегося представлено не было.
С российской стороны было отмечено, что подобная скоординированная провокация, направленная на нагнетание напряжённости в Европе, выгодна только Киеву и его спонсорам, требующим продолжения конфликта. Она выглядит безрассудной и опасной.
❗️ Было указано, что наша страна не стремится к конфронтации с Соединенным Королевством или другими европейскими государствами, однако любые эскалационные шаги с их стороны получат адекватный и выверенный ответ.

Embassy comment on the British side’s démarche
💬 On 3 September, Chargé d’Affaires Vasily Tsyganov was invited to the Foreign Office, where he received a protest alleging Russia’s involvement in the drone incident at Leipzig Airport.
These baseless and absurd accusations, framed in a surprisingly familiar British style, were categorically rejected. No convincing evidence was presented to support the anti-Russian version of events.
The Russian side pointed out that such a coordinated provocation, aimed at fuelling tension in Europe, serves only the interests of Kiev and its sponsors, who are pushing for the conflict to continue. It is reckless and dangerous.
☝️ It was stressed that Russia does not seek confrontation with the United Kingdom or other European states. However, any escalatory steps on their part will meet an appropriate and carefully calibrated response.

🎙 Excerpt from President Vladimir Putin's remarks at the plenary meeting of the 11th Eastern Economic Forum (Vladivostok, 3 September)
💬 First and foremost, it is Russia and Ukraine that must reach an agreement between themselves [...]
This is the right approach. But we are grateful to everyone who is trying to contribute to settling this issue.
The seizure of civilian vessels, [Ukrainian] strikes on commercial ships, and the threats we have just heard about attacks on civilian aircraft are a manifestation of state terrorism.
This undoubtedly complicates the prospects for holding bilateral peace talks.
Those who remain silent, those who turn a blind eye to this – I mean, above all, Ukraine’s Western allies – become accomplices in international terrorism. There is no other way to interpret it.
