🎙 Acting Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial plaques at the Foreign Ministry (Moscow, May 8, 2024)
💬 Today, according to tradition, we celebrate Great Victory Day, May 9, a day that will never be gone from our memory, a day when we commemorate those who protected Russia, Europe and the world from Nazism and pay tribute to their heroism.
We are proud that diplomats were among the heroes who resisted the enemy, weapon in hand, or worked to support their Motherland on the home front, addressing economic tasks. After the war, they spared no effort to create a just international system, in which the USSR – our state, our nation – would take its rightful place, which was due to us according to historical justice. This is how the United Nations was created.
🏅 I would like to repeat that employees of the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs and our colleagues from the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade contributed to that victory on all fronts. Many of them became victims of political repression. We will always remember this. <...>
☝️ The descendants of Napoleon and Hitler have joined the Anglo-Saxons, again seeking to inflict a “strategic defeat” on our country, destroy it and subordinate it to their narrow selfish hegemonic interests. <...> Our soldiers on the front line, the people who provide them with weapons and equipment, as well as others, who are fostering the correct perception of our just struggle in the international arena, are definitely continuing the cause of our fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers.
🌐 The countries of the global majority know that Russia is fighting for everyone who wants to make their own choices and follow their own traditions, who do not want to see any manifestations of Nazism, racial or religious discrimination. The West is constantly pushing its satellites and puppets to this.

🎙 Acting Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to questions during a joint news conference with Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Republic of Sierra Leone Timothy Musa Kabba following talks (Moscow, May 7, 2024)
💬 We conducted substantive Russia-Sierra Leone talks. We share the view that today’s meeting was timely and confirms our mutual striving to continue strengthening the traditionally friendly bilateral relations on the principles of equality and mutual respect.
<...>
We are interested in the implementation of the African Solutions − for African Problems principle.
<...>
☝️ We maintain good cooperation on implementing the agreements reached during the two Russia-Africa summits. In accordance with a decision of the St Petersburg Summit in July 2023, the Russia-African Union foreign ministers will hold their first meeting next November. We hope that our friends will be represented at the proper level.
We confirmed our gratitude for Sierra Leone’s position of principle on the issues related to the situation around Ukraine. It developed because of the hybrid war that the West was preparing for a long time with a view to weakening our country, creating threats to its security and depriving millions of Russian speakers in Crimea and Donbass of their lawful rights.
<...>
🤝 We are grateful to our African friends, in part Sierra Leone, for their well-balanced position and understanding of the reasons that had brought about the current situation. I am pleased about today’s negotiations.
❓ Question: Does the Foreign Ministry plan to open new diplomatic missions in African countries in 2024, including the Russian Embassy in Sierra Leone?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: We are going to open new diplomatic offices in Africa, including Freetown before the end of 2024. We have adopted all required decisions and it remains to fulfil them. We are working on this in practical terms.

🗓 May 8, the eve of the Great Victory, marks the 57th Anniversary (unveiled in 1967) of the official ceremony of lighting the sacred Eternal Flame at the unveiled Tomb of the Unknown Soldier memorial architectural ensemble in Alexander Garden near the Moscow Kremlin Wall.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier serves as a symbolic monument to honour frontline soldiers killed in action during the Great Patriotic War. It was proposed by officials in 1966, on the 25th anniversary of defeating Nazi forces near Moscow. On December 3, 1966, the remains of a Soviet soldier killed near Zelenograd were laid to rest in Alexander Garden.
⭐️ The Eternal Flame of Glory burns in front of the tombstone, at the centre of a five-pointed star, and illuminates a bronze inscription that reads: “Your Name is Unknown, Your Feat is Immortal.”
In 1997, the President of Russia issued an executive order to establish a guard of honour post near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. In 2009, another presidential executive order granted the status of a nationwide military glory memorial to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, in order to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of the Russian Federation. The memorial was included in the State List of Particularly Valuable Cultural Heritage Landmarks and Sites of Russia’s Peoples. On December 3, 2014, the day when the defender of Moscow was buried in Alexander Garden in 1966, was proclaimed the Day of the Unknown Soldier.

🎙️Комментарий Посольства в связи с ограничительными мерами Лондона в отношении российских загранучреждений в Великобритании
▪︎8 мая Лондон объявил новые ограничительные меры, которые серьезно осложняют условия работы российского дипломатического присутствия в Соединенном Королевстве, в том числе прерывают некоторые каналы связи.
▪︎Как это неоднократно случалось и раньше, новые меры введены под безосновательным и даже смехотворным предлогом (в данном случае – пожар на каком-то складе на востоке Лондона), из которого здесь пытаются раздуть очередную шпионскую историю.
▪︎Вместе с тем признаки подготовки этих враждебных шагов появились, по нашим наблюдениям, порядка шести месяцев назад. Соответствующая кампания по обвинению нас абсолютно во всех мыслимых грехах продвигалась и нагнеталась все это время.
☝️Вызывает глубокое сожаление, что в период острой международной напряженности, когда особенно важен диалог для недопущения дальнейшей эскалации, в Лондоне продолжают изображать воинственность и подрывают оставшиеся связи.
❗Все это безусловно получит адекватный ответ с российской стороны.

🎙 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin's remarks at the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council meeting in restricted format (Moscow, May 8, 2024):
💬 We note with satisfaction that over the past decade our association has established itself as an independent and self-sufficient centre of the emerging multipolar world.
Today, the Eurasian Union is an effective and dynamic integration structure whose activities contribute to the growth of trade and investment exchanges, intensification of business contacts, and expansion of cooperation ties, which ultimately brings real benefits to each association member.
Just now, before entering this room, my colleagues and I talked about it and stated that our economic development indicators are very good.
In actual practice, it helps ensure stable and sustainable development both of the five member countries and the Eurasian region as a whole, and results in improving the quality of life and well-being of our people.
📈 The economic indicators speak for themselves:
• according to available estimates, over the ten years the total GDP of the Eurasian Union countries went from US$1.6 to US$2.5 trillion,
• trade with third countries increased by 60 percent, from US$579 to US$923 billion,
• the volume of mutual trade almost doubled: from US$45 to US$89 billion, with over 90 percent of settlements already made in national currencies.
It is noteworthy that positive macroeconomic dynamics continue this year.
Let me stress that Russia highly values mutually beneficial multifaceted ties with its EAEU partners, and sincerely aims to further work towards comprehensive development and strengthening of our integration association. I am confident that all the colleagues present here share this commitment.

🎙️Russian Embassy comment on London's restrictive measures targeting Russian diplomatic missions in the UK
▪︎On 8 May London announced new restrictive measures that drastically impede the functioning of Russian diplomatic missions in the United Kingdom, including interrupting communication channels.
▪︎As has often been the case, the new measures were introduced under a groundless and somewhat ridiculous pretext (in this case - a fire at a warehouse in east London), which is being twisted to invent yet another espionage story.
▪︎Meanwhile notable signs pointing to the preparation of these hostile steps appeared about six months ago. Since then a smear campaign to accuse us of absolutely every conceivable sin has been advanced with increasing intensity.
☝️It is deeply regrettable that at times of acute international tensions, when dialogue is of particular importance to prevent further escalation, London continues to demonstrate belligerence and undermine remaining ties.
❗These measures will inevitably be met with an adequate response from the Russian side.

Following a successful assault on Berlin by the Red Army, Adolf Hitler committed suicide. The title of Reich President and command of the armed forces of the Third Reich passed to Admiral Karl Dönitz.
Desperate to surrender to the British-American troops, on May 5, German delegation arrived in the French city of Reims, where the headquarters of the Western Allies command was located.
In the Article 4 of the Reims Instrument of Surrender of Nazi Germany stated that this document did not rule out the signing of another, definitive act at the request of one of the coalition members.
Thus, the document was recognised by the Soviet Union only as a preliminary instrument, and a new signing ceremony was proposed to be held in the capital of Nazi Germany, liberated by the Red Army - Berlin.
On May 9, 1945, at 2:10 am Moscow time, announcer Yury Levitan read out the Instrument of Unconditional Surrender of Nazi Germany and the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR declaring May 9 Victory Day. From that moment on, the Soviet Union and later Russia, as well as the most former Soviet republics have celebrated Victory Day on May 9.
💬 Sergey Lavrov: This year’s Victory Day has a special significance because we are celebrating this great holiday in a situation where Nazism is rearing its head again. The descendants of Napoleon and Hitler have joined the Anglo-Saxons, again seeking to inflict a “strategic defeat” on our country, destroy it and subordinate it to their narrow selfish hegemonic interests. Just like our fathers and grandfathers volunteered to the front, today, once again, we see an extraordinary upsurge in society, as Russians are rallying to another sacred battle.
