🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement at a reception on the occasion of Africa Day (Moscow, May 23, 2024)
💬 Sergey Lavrov: #AfricaDay — a holiday which epitomises the unwavering will of the African peoples and their struggle in pursuit of freedom and human dignity.
This year, the holiday coincides with the 20th Anniversary of the African Union’s Peace and Security Council which is one of the main bodies of this pan-African organisation that plays a significant role in shaping the modern African security architecture and the political and socioeconomic integration of the continent’s countries, and ensuring its proper place within the international economic relations system.
🌍 We in Russia are pleased to note that Africa continues to gain political weight and to establish itself as a crucial pillar of the emerging multipolar order. Dynamic integration processes, rapidly growing markets, and business activity make it possible for the African states to play an increasingly meaningful role in international affairs and speak as one. <…>
Fighting the newly emerged colonial and neo-colonial practices has come to the forefront today. The Western methods have changed, but the thrust of its policy towards African countries has remained unchanged and is to bring them to its heel and to live at the expense of other countries using more sophisticated forms of exploitation as part of the rules-based order.
We remain willing, notwithstanding current circumstances, to support the African countries in their efforts to advance their sovereignty, to address pressing socioeconomic challenges, and to assert Africa’s rightful place as an equal partner in the modern world, including in the efforts to reform the UN Security Council.
<…>
The potential for Russian-African cooperation across all areas is truly vast. We will continue to work together to bring our relations to the level of a truly strategic partnership.

✍️ Russia's President Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to heads of state and government of African countries on Africa Day
✉️ Please, accept my cordial greetings on #AfricaDay – a holiday symbolising the victory of African countries over colonialism and their striving for freedom, peace and prosperity.
African countries have scored universally recognised successes in the socioeconomic area and are playing an increasingly important role in resolving current international issues. The African Union and a number of sub-regional structures are expanding constructive cooperation, creating mechanisms for collective response to local conflicts and crises and consistently promoting integration processes.
Russia is paying special attention to strengthening friendly relations with African partners. We are united by our commitment to building a fair multipolar world order based on true equality and the international rule of law, and free from any form of discrimination, dictate and sanctions pressure.”
The Second Russia-Africa Summit held in St Petersburg last year certainly created conditions for enhancing productive and mutually beneficial cooperation in most diverse areas. I am confident that consistent implementation of the plans and agreements reached at that important multilateral meeting meets our common interests and contributes to ensuring stability and security in Africa.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to media questions, (Minsk, May 24, 2024)
❓ Question: How would you comment on Mike Johnson’s statement about the use of US-supplied weapons to strike Russia?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: They said for a long time that they were not supporting it. They also said they did not allow it and advised [Ukraine] against using it. But in fact, they are waging war against us. American weapons have already been used to strike various targets outside the conflict zone.
Washington is trying to make reassuring statements for the local public or for NATO members, to pretend the decision has not yet been made. It is a trick. We are certain that American and other Western-supplied weapons are being used to strike targets on Russian territory, primarily civilian infrastructure and residential areas. They are responsible for what these weapons have done.
❓ Question: What is your assessment of the current state of relations between Russia and Belarus within the Union State?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: The Union State is the most advanced form of integration in the post-Soviet countries as well as in other regions.

О чествовании британскими официальными лицами украинских неонацистов из «Бригады Азов» в Лондоне
▪︎Обратили внимание, что после теплого приема в лондонском «Реформ-клубе» украинских неонацистов из «Бригады Азов» в более тесной обстановке чествовали т.н. «друзья Украины» из Консервативной партии.
▪︎Неудивительно, что осанну наведавшимся в Лондон террористам исполнил самопровозглашенный «друг» украинского народа, экс-премьер Великобритании Б.Джонсон, известный своим умением переворачивать факты с ног на голову. Вот и на этот раз последователи А.Гитлера, в его изложении, оказались «героями», на которых «мы (очевидно, западные спонсоры киевского режима) полностью полагаемся». Кроме того, он с явным удовольствием попозировал с нацистской символикой, которая взята за эмблему «Азова».
▪︎Столь демонстративное дружелюбие Б.Джонсона по отношению к тем, кто содействовал распространению на Украине ненавистнических воззрений и стоял у истоков многолетнего кровавого конфликта, едва ли стало для кого-либо новостью.
❗Серьезно расшатав собственную страну, этот политик приложил заметные усилия к уничтожению далекой и в общем-то не имеющей для него большого значения Украины. Напомним, что именно на совести Б.Джонсона подрыв Стамбульского мирного процесса весной 2022 г., начало поставок летального вооружения киевской хунте, а также последовательная агитация в поддержку дальнейшей, фактически неконтролируемой эскалации конфликта. Он и на этот раз не изменил себе, призвав разрешить ВСУ применять западные вооружения для ударов на глубину российской территории.
☝️Время вынесет вердикт действиям экс-премьера. Да и потакание нацистам в британской современной истории - дело не новое. Однако уверены, что кривляния с нацистским символом вызвали бы как минимум недоумение у политического ориентира Б.Джонсона - У.Черчилля.

🎙️Интервью Посла России А.В.Келина ведущему телеканала «Россия 24»А.А.Кареевскому, 24 мая 2024 года
▪︎Досрочные выборы в парламент Великобритании
Объявление премьер-министром Р.Сунаком досрочных выборов в парламент Великобритании для всех стало неожиданностью.
Судя по всему, Р.Сунак принял это решение в последний момент, поскольку начало июля - единственный момент, когда могут сложиться все благоприятные факторы, которые можно продать избирателю: понижение инфляции до 2,3% в год, незначительный рост ВВП и небольшое снижение процентной ставки, что является важным для большинства британцев.
▪︎Изъятие российских активов за рубежом
Министр иностранных дел Великобритании Д.Кэмерон продавливает американские подходы относительно изъятия российских активов за рубежом пытаясь добиться максимума.
В то же время представители британского финансового сектора и юристы, которые прекрасно понимают, что любое действие в отношении наших суверенных активов - это нарушение международного права, ведут себя осторожно.
Любые комбинации будут являться грубым нарушением международного права, которое повлечет за собой ответные действия с нашей стороны. Многие британцы призывают ответственно подойти к решению данного вопроса, поскольку это может нанести Британии больший вред, чем ущерб, который она пытается нанести России.
▪︎Реакция британцев на поездку Президента России В.В.Путина в Китай
Визит президента России В.В.Путина в Китай 16-17 мая произвел большое впечатление на Лондон.
Вслед за американцами британские политики начали усиленно эксплуатировать фактор надуманной угрозы со стороны Китая.
Резкие же заявления министра обороны Великобритании Г.Шаппса в данном контексте о наличии у него разведданных, что Китай работает с Россией над военным оборудованием и поставляет его для использования в зоне конфликта на Украине, обусловлены стремлением политика привлечь внимание и набрать очки в ходе избирательного процесса.

🎙️Embassy Comment on a warm reception at The Reform Club the Ukrainian neo-Nazis from the “Azov Brigade”
▪︎Following a warm reception at The Reform Club the Ukrainian neo-Nazis from the “Azov Brigade” were honoured in a more intimate setting by the so-called “Conservative Friends of Ukraine”. It was hardly a surprise that former UK Prime-Minister Boris Johnson, the self-proclaimed “friend” of the Ukrainian people, dropped by to celebrate the London-visiting terrorists in person.
▪︎Boris Johnson is well-known for his ability to turn facts upside down. So this time in his address he depicted the admirers of Adolf Hitler as “heroes” on whom “we (apparently, Western sponsors of the Kiev regime) wholly rely.” He also appeared to enjoy posing with Nazi symbols used as the “Azov Brigade” insignia.
▪︎Such a demonstration of affection by Boris Johnson for those who contributed to spreading hatred across Ukraine and stood at the origins of the decade-long bloody conflict would hardly be news to anyone.
❗Having seriously unsettled his own country, the Tory politician was instrumental in the destruction of Ukraine, a distant country of, in effect, little personal significance to him. Boris Johnson bears the blame for having undermined the Istanbul Peace Process in the spring of 2022, the launch of lethal weapons supplies to the Kiev junta, as well as consistently campaigning in support of further and virtually uncontrollable escalation of the conflict. This time he remained true to form, calling on the Ukrainian military to be allowed to use Western weapons to strike deep into Russian territory.
☝️Only time will render a verdict on the actions of the ex-Prime Minister. Indulging Nazis is not something unprecedented in the modern history of the UK. However, Boris Johnson’s political idol, Sir Winston Churchill, would most likely be at the very least perplexed by his grimacing alongside the Nazi symbol.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 Presidents Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko made statements for the media and answered media questions following Russian-Belarusian talks (May 24, 2024)
Key talking points:
💬 Vladimir Putin: This year we will mark two important anniversaries: they are July 3, when we will jointly celebrate the 80th Anniversary of liberating Belarus from Nazi invaders. This is our common victory. We do remember what price we had to pay for it and we cherish the memory of our fathers, grandfathers and great- grandfathers, who defended the life and freedom for us and the generations to come. And on December 8, the Union State of Russia and Belarus will turn 25. Over the past quarter of a century we have managed to really achieve a lot on the integration tracks.
📈 Mutual trade has been steadily growing year after year. Russia, being the core economic partner of Belarus, accounts for about 60 percent of the Belarusian foreign trade balance. At the end of last year, trade increased by more than five percent and reached a record of 46.5 billion dollars.
• Considering the tensions on the outer border od the Union State, we have discussed at length the creation of a single defence state during the talks. Advanced Russian defence systems and tactical nuclear weapons reliably cover the western borders of our countries and the Collective Security Treaty Organisation.
• Russia and Belarus have common positions on most global and regional problems and support each other at various multilateral platforms. In this context, I would like to stress that Russia has comprehensively assisted Belarus in joining the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.

🎙 Russia's MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on the UNGA’s resolution on the Srebrenica genocide
💬 On May 23, the UNGA voted for a resolution establishing July 11 as the International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 Genocide in Srebrenica (Bosnia and Herzegovina, BiH). The document was adopted by a vote of 84 in favour to 19 against (Russia included), with 68 abstentions, while 21 countries did not vote.
This document is yet another irresponsible attempt by the West to rewrite history and seal the interpretation of the ethnic conflict in former Yugoslavia and related events that suits their geopolitical interests.
☝️ It is a resolution of a pronounced politicised and anti-Serb nature. <...> Worse still, the sponsors and supporters of this document in the UNGA had the audacity to declare ‘promoting interethnic reconciliation and unity of the three state-forming peoples of BiH (Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats)’ as its purpose.
We strongly believe that the move will have the reverse effect. The sponsors of the resolution and those who voted for it cannot be unaware of the difficult situation in BiH <...>. The document adopted by the General Assembly will only exacerbate the existing differences, increase the conflict potential in the Balkans, and jeopardise the Dayton Agreement which provides the basis for BiH’s statehood.
Sarajevo political representatives have been pushing for this resolution <...>, thereby grossly violating the Constitution of BiH and the Dayton Agreement, which requires a consensus decision of the Presidency of BiH. Their idea was strongly supported by representatives of NATO countries, which bear the main responsibility for the tragic events in Yugoslavia, including in Srebrenica.
We highlighted the threats to the Dayton Agreement, including those stemming from the adoption of the resolution on Srebrenica. <...> Western representatives would not to listen to us or to the Serbs.
❗️ They will be responsible for the disastrous consequences.

Over the #10yearsDPR there have been many events of varying significance, some of which have faded into our memory over time. But not that. May 26, 2014 is remembered by all residents of Donetsk for the rest of their lives.
Air bombing of city blocks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine - shelling of the airport area, the first casualties among the civilian population... The beginning of the war.
According to confirmed official data alone, since that time at least 9,313 civilians of the Republic have been killed, including 239 children, and 14,117 civilian injuries have been recorded, including 886 children. And this is far from complete data - unfortunately, the number of victims is much higher. Then Slavyansk was already in full flames, then there were the years of the Minsk agreement - “no war, no peace”, and now a special military operation is underway for liberation. And all these 10 years, the criminal Kiev regime has been openly fighting against the civilian population of Donbass.
At least 4.7 thousand infrastructure facilities were shelled. More than 37 thousand houses were destroyed or damaged. Behind each of these sad statistics are the tragedies of families who lost their home.
Exactly 10 years ago, war came to the capital of our region - residents of the working metropolis were faced with a modern form of barbarism in the person of the pro-Western Kiev regime.
Donbass survived thanks to the unparalleled resilience and courage of the residents of Donbass and the enormous help of our Motherland - Russia.

✍️ Russia's President Vladimir Putin sent greeting to the participants, organisers, and guests of the 27th St Petersburg International Economic Forum, which will take place in St Petersburg on June 5–8, 2024 (May 27, 2024)
✉️ For more than a quarter of a century, the Forum has provided an opportunity for politicians, experts, business leaders, academics, and media professionals from around the world to hold in-depth discussions on key economic development trends in Russia and the world. Participants in plenary sessions, roundtables and panel discussions exchange views on ways to promote international cooperation, encourage scientific and technological progress and the development of human capital, and to effectively tackle the challenges we face.
The theme of the current meeting, The Foundations of a Multipolar World – The Formation of New Areas of Growth, is highly relevant and meaningful. A growing part of the international community is in favour of building a just and democratic system of international relations based on the principles of genuine equality, consideration for each other’s legitimate interests, and respect for the cultural and civilisational diversity of nations.
It is precisely these principles that underpin the activities of #BRICS, which Russia is chairing this year. It is symbolic that the history of this dynamically developing association, whose members already account for more than a third of the global economy, began at the 10th St Petersburg International Economic Forum in 2006.
🤝 Our country is open to constructive dialogue and interaction with partners and is ready to work together to address the economic, social, scientific and technological challenges of our time.

✉️ For more than a quarter of a century, the Forum has provided an opportunity for politicians, experts, business leaders, academics, and media professionals from around the world to hold in-depth discussions on key economic development trends in Russia and the world. Participants in plenary sessions, roundtables and panel discussions exchange views on ways to promote international cooperation, encourage scientific and technological progress and the development of human capital, and to effectively tackle the challenges we face.
The theme of the current meeting, The Foundations of a Multipolar World – The Formation of New Areas of Growth, is highly relevant and meaningful. A growing part of the international community is in favour of building a just and democratic system of international relations based on the principles of genuine equality, consideration for each other’s legitimate interests, and respect for the cultural and civilisational diversity of nations.
It is precisely these principles that underpin the activities of #BRICS, which Russia is chairing this year. It is symbolic that the history of this dynamically developing association, whose members already account for more than a third of the global economy, began at the 10th St Petersburg International Economic Forum in 2006.
