✍️ Russia's President Vladimir Putin expressed support and wished early and full recovery to Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico who was injured in the assassination attempt.
✉️ This atrocious crime cannot be justified. I know Robert Fico as a courageous and strong-willed person. I truly hope these personal qualities will help him overcome this harsh situation.

🎙️Embassy comment on attempts by UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps to accuse Russia of interfering in the internal affairs of Georgia
▪︎On 14 May, the UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps in his comments to Sky News following the adoption by the Georgian Parliament of the draft Law on “Transparency of Foreign Influence”, baselessly accused Russia of interfering in Georgia's internal affairs.
▪︎Grant Shapps's statements border on the absurd. We regard them as an unscrupulous attempt by the British authorities to exploit the myth of the “Russian threat” purely in their interests. Unlike London and other Western capitals, our country is not in the habit of interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign states.
▪︎Statements by the Head of the UK Defence Ministry on the substance of the issue are also saturated with hypocrisy. Last year the National Security Act was passed in Britain that provides for the creation of a so-called foreign influence registration scheme. According to the legislation, Britons will be required to report on any arrangements with foreign countries that involve them exercising "influence" on local politics. Failure to do so will constitute a criminal offence.
▪︎Moreover, the UK Home Secretary is given the power to unilaterally determine the countries for which any - not only political - activity will require registration. British authorities are now preparing to implement these provisions.
☝️One may wonder if the British politicians, who are trying to pressure Georgia in order to sustain influence there, remember that not so long ago they themselves took credit for enacting similar legislation on foreign agents at home, while declaring their staunch support for Britain's national security? Such hypocrisy is indeed difficult to understand.
❗We again call on the British officials to refrain from making irresponsible statements and to stop spreading anti-Russian propaganda and disinformation.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Beginning of Russia's President Vladimir Putin's conversation with President of China Xi Jinping
💬 Vladimir Putin: We will be marking a major milestone, an Anniversary. On October 1, we will celebrate 75 years since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, and the very next day, on October 2, our two countries established diplomatic relations. The Soviet Union was the first country to recognise the new China.
Moscow and Beijing have built a solid track record in terms of their practical cooperation. In 2023, bilateral trade increased by almost 25%, reaching $227 billion, which was quite a positive result.
<...>
It is of fundamental significance that relations between Russia and China do not depend on short-term considerations and are not directed against anyone. Today, our cooperation in global affairs is one of the main stabilising factors on the international stage. We are acting jointly to uphold the principles of justice and a democratic world order that reflects multipolar realities and is based on international law.

🖋️Russian Ambassador Andrei Kelin’s letter to the Times: The true story of Seacox Heath
▪︎The Times readers might wish to know the true story of Seacox Heath, which has received far too much undeserved attention lately (Fiona Hamilton, Ali Mitib, 11 May). The estate which belonged to the 2nd Viscount Goschen was not gifted to us. It was purchased in 1946 by the Soviet Trade Delegation from Land and Mortgage Investment Co Limited for £24,000. Back then The Times reported on the deal noting its ‘use as a hostel for families’. Some quarter of a century later, the ownership was formally transferred to the USSR represented by the Soviet and later Russian Ambassador.
▪︎The swirling allegations regarding the estate are astonishing as well as bizarre. If British intelligence agencies were indeed monitoring it, as stated in The Times, they would know perfectly well that the diplomatic property is used solely for legitimate residential purposes. No outside visitors have been “entering and leaving” Seacox Heath for many years, apart from a few accredited Russian diplomats travelling onwards to the seaside and their children for whom we arrange vacations at the estate each summer.
▪︎Ironically, the Times piece, with its purely invented allegations of malfeasant activities at Seacox Heath, is accompanied by an image of the mansion taken from a hovering drone or helicopter - in clear violation of principles of diplomatic immunity.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Russia's President Vladimir Putin and President of China Xi Jinping made a media statement following Russia-China talks (May 16, 2024)
💬 Vladimir Putin: The talks we have just finished highlighted the great significance that Moscow and Beijing attach to the development and strengthening of comprehensive Russia-China partnership and strategic interaction. This partnership can certainly set an example of ties between neighbouring states.
Key talking points:
• This state visit takes place in the year of the 75th Anniversary of our diplomatic relations. Our country was the first to recognise the People’s Republic of China on October 2, 1949, the day after its declaration.
• I want to note the significance of the Joint Statement we have adopted, which sets new objectives and long-term directives for advancing the entire spectrum of Russian-Chinese relations.
📈 In 2023, bilateral trade surged by a quarter, reaching a new milestone of $240 billion, as reported by Chinese statistics. While there may be a slight variance in figures, the overall total is entirely accurate. <...> Currently, there are over 80 priority projects valued at approximately $200 billion in progress or in preparation for implementation through the respective intergovernmental commission.
• Our talks have reaffirmed that Russia and China have similar or identical views on many international and regional issues. Both countries have an independent and sovereign foreign policy. We are working together to create a fairer and more democratic multipolar world order.
• We have agreed to further improve communication between credit and banking institutions of Russia and China, while actively employing national payment systems to support our economic operators.
🤝 Russia and China are fruitfully working together in #BRICS and the #SCO. <...> Our countries are resolved to continue working to align integration processes underway within the framework of the #EAEU with China's Belt and Road Initiative.

🇷🇺🇨🇳 Russia's President Vladimir Putin and President of the PRC Xi Jinping made a speech at the gala concert devoted to the 75th anniversary of Russia-China diplomatic relations and the opening of Russia and China’s years of culture.
💬 Vladimir Putin: Seventy five years is a short period of time by the yardstick of centuries-long history of Russia and China, but during this period we managed to achieve serious results, amass the priceless experience of close, goodneighbourly interaction that embraced joint successes and achievements as well as important historical lessons.
The main thing has always remained unchanged − the traditions of Russian-Chinese friendship, which has stood the test of time and continues to strengthen for the benefit of the peoples of our two countries.
❗️ We can be justly proud of the fact that Russian-Chinese relations have now reached the highest level in history and have acquired the character of genuine comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction.
<...>
Symbolically, such a large-scale joint project as the years of culture of Russia and China has been timed to the anniversary of our bilateral relations.
<...>
The suggested programme is not limited to Moscow and St Petersburg, Beijing and Shanghai. It covers many cities and regions of the two countries.
☝️ A well-known song of that time – 75 years ago − is often performed today. It has a sentence that has become a catch phrase – “Russian and Chinese are brothers forever.” I am confident that we will continue strengthening harmonious Russia-China partnership in this fraternal spirit.
We will continue acting in unison for the sake of the successful development of our two countries and prosperity of our peoples with a view to enhancing the authority and influence of Russia and China in the world. Our cooperation has limitless opportunities and prospects. We are strong enough to cope with any obstacles and implement most ambitious plans.

✍️ President Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the participants in the 33rd Arab League Summit.
✉️ The Middle East is currently undergoing one of its most severe crises to date. The unprecedented escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of civilian lives and has heightened tensions in neighbouring countries and across the region. Given these tragic circumstances, the imperative for a just resolution to the Palestinian issue, based on internationally recognised principles, becomes particularly urgent.
🇷🇺 Russia remains committed to actively supporting the collective political and diplomatic efforts initiated by the Arab partners to immediately resolve the existing contradictions.
Our country is pushing for a sustainable, long-term normalisation of the situation in Palestinian territories and other conflict zones, including Sudan, Yemen, Libya, Syria, and Lebanon, insisting that the sovereignty of all these countries must be guaranteed and international law respected.
🤝 I firmly believe that the further expansion of the longstanding friendly relations and constructive multifaceted cooperation between the Russian Federation and Arab countries aligns perfectly with our shared interests and contributes to fostering security and stability at both regional and global levels.

💬 Vladimir Putin: The fact that Harbin is hosting these two important events is highly symbolic, since Harbin is one of China’s biggest centres for research, education & innovation.
• Since its founding in the late 19th century, Harbin has been a symbol of the close ties linking Russia & China and their intertwined destinies, and the mutual enrichment of their cultures & traditions.
• Harbin is a city that commemorates our nations’ brotherhood-in-arms. More than 12,000 Soviet fighters perished in the battles to liberate Northeast China from Japanese invaders. It was Harbin that on September 16, 1945, hosted the joint Victory Parade to commemorate the end of hostilities on the Pacific Front & of #WWII.
• We have laid flowers at the memorial to Soviet soldiers & officers. I am extremely grateful to the people of Harbin & the Chinese officials for preserving the memory of our liberators & our shared history of military glory. They have taken great care of our shared historical, spiritual & cultural heritage.
• Building upon the glorious traditions of neighbourliness, friendship & cooperation, we can confidently look forward & embark on ambitious projects together, charting & implementing our grandest plans. President Xi Jinping & I discussed in detail the prospects of developing this close & multi-dimensional cooperation during our talks last night.
📈 The inseparable partnership between Russia & China directly contributes to the growth of both economies, ensuring our energy security, creating new production facilities & high-paying jobs, & ultimately improving the wealth & quality of life of our citizens.
