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.
I am confident that the Forum will jump-start new and promising initiatives and projects, fostering mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries and peoples.

Mr President, thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to bring such a representative delegation to Uzbekistan. <...> It emphasises the special nature of our strategic partnership and allied relations.
The growth rate of our economic ties is truly impressive. According to your data, the growth was around 30 percent last year. Our statistics show a slightly lower figure, but on the whole, Russia accounts for 15.5 percent of your trade, and this is a significant result. I am confident it will continue to grow, given the current pace: according to our strict statistics, the performance for the first quarter of this year is over 20 percent, which is quite good.
🤝 Thanks to your efforts and those of the Government of Uzbekistan, our trade and economic ties are being diversified and have a good outlook for the future, particularly in industrial cooperation and high technologies. This is of utmost importance. Traditional aspects of cooperation are also being maintained at a high level and are developing rapidly.
You mentioned the forum of the regions, and I believe it is a very important initiative. The key in this regard, as you just mentioned, is not to make things difficult but to create favourable conditions. We will strive to do that, and Russia is committed to this goal. I know that you have the same intention, and I am confident that this will give an impetus to the development of our trade, economic and humanitarian ties. There is no doubt about that.

🎙 FM Sergey Lavrov’s answers to media questions of the Moscow. Kremlin. Putin TV programme (May 26, 2024)
❓ Question: The US & Western elites can't help but realise they're impacting our vital root interests, & that what's happening today has always been unthinkable. Why are they doing this?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: They have realised that it's their goal to prevent Russia from becoming stronger & to contain our country; they're talking seriously that it's necessary to “decolonise” Russia, i.e. to “dismember” it. This is their strategic objective.
They started acting this way after we showed that we'll not put up with this & would not allow them to use Ukraine as a direct threat to our security & as a tool for destroying all things Russian on historical Russian territories. <…>
❓ Question: Do they believe that, by pitting 2 nations against each other & unleashing hostilities between 2 neighbouring nations with blood ties, they'd force us to quarrel for decades & to drift apart? Is this their goal?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: It appears that it is their goal. They have been doing this for over 20 years, if not 30 years, right after the breakup of the USSR. Their goal was to destroy all things Russian, including the Russian language, & to establish their influence over this territory that they wanted to take over. There were plans to establish military bases on the ground & on the Sea of Azov. They also seriously wanted to stake a claim in Crimea.
As usual, the people of Russia rallied, as it always happens when they wake up the Russian bear. <…>
As it often happens with Western strategists, the West has obtained a diametrically opposite result.
❓ Question: The West is making more & more bellicose statements at all levels. Russia is voicing a more specific & cool-headed position. What are the chances that they'll unwittingly cross a boundary when their actions would cause Russia to retaliate & hit them hard?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: I can assure you that they will be unable to unwittingly cross this boundary.

❓ Question: The US & Western elites can't help but realise they're impacting our vital root interests, & that what's happening today has always been unthinkable. Why are they doing this?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: They have realised that it's their goal to prevent Russia from becoming stronger & to contain our country; they're talking seriously that it's necessary to “decolonise” Russia, i.e. to “dismember” it. This is their strategic objective.
They started acting this way after we showed that we'll not put up with this & would not allow them to use Ukraine as a direct threat to our security & as a tool for destroying all things Russian on historical Russian territories. <…>
❓ Question: Do they believe that, by pitting 2 nations against each other & unleashing hostilities between 2 neighbouring nations with blood ties, they'd force us to quarrel for decades & to drift apart? Is this their goal?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: It appears that it is their goal. They have been doing this for over 20 years, if not 30 years, right after the breakup of the USSR. Their goal was to destroy all things Russian, including the Russian language, & to establish their influence over this territory that they wanted to take over. There were plans to establish military bases on the ground & on the Sea of Azov. They also seriously wanted to stake a claim in Crimea.

📅 The Treaty of Jassy was concluded at the end of the Russian-Turkish war in 1791 and through it the entire Northern Black Sea coast was formally recognised as part of the Russian Empire.
In a push to create a port for military and commercial needs on the newly acquired lands, on May 27, 1794, Empress Catherine the Great issued a rescript on founding a city and a harbour on the site of the town of Khadjibey. On August 22, 1794, the first piles were driven into the site that will become Odessa in the future.
The great grandnephew of the famous French cardinal, Duke Armand Richelieu, who had been in the service of the Russian imperial court for many years, played a major role in developing that city. During the Napoleonic invasion, he addressed the people of Odessa calling upon them to give a strong rebuff to the invaders.
☝️ Hero of the Patriotic War of 1812 and Foreign Campaigns of the Russian Army Count Mikhail Vorontsov did much for the city. He turned Odessa into the main trading outpost in southern Russia.
Outstanding Russian writers, artists, musicians and true heroes of the Motherland lived in Odessa in different periods of time. However, today, the regime that took power as a result of the coup in Ukraine is trying to destroy their traces in the history of the city.
In 2014, Odessa residents openly opposed the neo-Nazis who seized power in Kiev. However, radicals drowned in blood the freedom-loving Russian-speaking Odessa on May 2, 2014. Since then, the terror unleashed by the nationalists against proud Odessa residents and all other dissenting residents of Ukraine has been intensifying.

🇷🇺🇺🇿 President Putin's remarks at the beginning of Russia-Uzbekistan talks in expanded format (Tashkent, May 27, 2024)
Key points:
• Uzbekistan is our strategic partner and reliable ally. Our close, friendly relations are on the rise, developing dynamically based on the principles of equality, mutual respect and consideration of each other’s interests.
• I would like to note that Russia is one of Uzbekistan’s leading trade partners. The volume of bilateral trade is growing rapidly. It is also worth mentioning that, due to your position, we are creating favourable conditions for direct investment, resulting in increasing direct Russian investment in Uzbekistan each year. Today, it has already reached an impressive figure of almost US$10 billion.
• About 3,000 enterprises with Russian capital operate in Uzbekistan, while about 700 companies with Uzbek capital are active in Russia. We are witnessing positive trends in trade and investment.
• Work is underway on several major infrastructure projects in priority economic areas, such as the creation of a metallurgical cluster and a gas chemical complex, a copper concentration facility, and more.
• The flagship projects are receiving financial support from leading Russian lending organisations, including the VEB state development corporation, Gazprombank and others.
• Uzbekistan ranks among the top CIS countries in terms of the number of students studying in Russian universities – over 63,000, with about 14,000 of them studying free of charge.

It’s hard to believe, but EU members are now claiming they never expressed a desire to defeat Russia “on the battlefield.” They assert that anyone referencing such statements is supposedly misleading the public.
Official Brussels asserts that the EU maintains a supposedly peaceful stance regarding the Ukraine conflict. This position involves direct fabrications & manipulations, which have become a hallmark of EU diplomacy. For instance, during a European Commission press briefing on May 13, 2024, when a journalist inquired about the EU’s intention to resolve the conflict on the battlefield, the spokesperson, Eric Mamer, responded with a question: “Who started this war, who wants to resolve this on the battlefield? It’s Russia, it’s not the EU.”
The internet remembers everything, & so do we. That’s where we get direct quotes.
#Germany #LeningradBlockade
German authorities stubbornly refuse to officially recognise crimes against humanity, perpetrated by the Third Reich in the USSR during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, as acts of genocide, primarily the siege of Leningrad. This ensues from the recent reply by the German MFA to a respective demand from the Russian side.
The German side is displaying open hypocrisy & duplicity. I believe that it violates everything, including ethics, morals & legality. Earlier, the German side confirmed at political level that such terrible acts of the German state as the annihilation of the Jews during World War II & the methodical extermination of the Herero & Nama peoples in 1904-1908, amounted to acts of genocide.
