🇷🇺🇮🇷🇨🇳 Joint Statement on behalf of the People’s Republic of China, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation under the agenda item 6 of the session of the IAEA Board of Governors «Verification and monitoring in the Islamic Republic of Iran in light of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 (2015)»
📃 Our countries have continuously been strong supporters of the JCPOA.
We spared no effort in attempting to restore the JCPOA, participating in nine rounds of negotiations here in Vienna. Our three countries confirmed readiness to conclude the agreement on the restoration of the agreement based on the text of August 2022.
☝️ Unfortunately, other participants of the JCPOA – France, Germany and the UK – as well as the US, despite their promises, chose a different course of action, foregoing our shared goal of resumption of the JCPOA implementation for the sake of their own political considerations.
The People’s Republic of China, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation are of the view that provisions of the JCPOA continue to be valid – as underpinned by the UNSCR 2231.
<...>
While recalling paragraph 8 of the UNSCR 2231, we emphasize that after the time frames envisaged in the JCPOA and UNSCR 2231, the Iranian nuclear programme will be treated in the same manner as that of any other non-nuclear weapon state party to the NPT.
❗️ Should the full implementation of the JCPOA be in place today, it would have alleviated the overwhelming majority of existing questions regarding Iran’s peaceful nuclear programme on a mutually accepted basis.
The People’s Republic of China, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation are convinced that it is time for Western countries to demonstrate political will, restrain themselves from the endless wheel of escalation that they have been spinning for the past almost two years and take the necessary step towards the revival of the JCPOA.

As UK remembers D-Day, we pay tribute to all Allied servicemen and women as well as Merchant Navy sailors who fought Nazism along with their Soviet brothers- and sisters-in-arms who broke the back of Hitler's forces on the Eastern Front. We send out best wishes to the British Veterans of World War II.
As President Vladimir Putin said on 9 May 2024, Russia has never belittled the significance of the Second Front or that of Allied assistance. We will never forget our joint struggle.
Today Russia remains faithful to the cause of rooting out Nazism and neo-Nazism. The eradication of this criminal ideology is a key objective of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine.

🇷🇺🇧🇴 Russia's President Vladimir Putin held talks with President of the Plurinational State of Bolivia Luis Alberto Arce Catacora, who came to Russia on an official visit, in the Constantine Palace.
💬 Vladimir Putin: It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the International Economic Forum in St Petersburg, Russia. This is your first visit to Russia as the head of state, and we are delighted to have you here.
I have no doubt that you will make a substantial contribution to the work of our forum, considering that you have a degree in economics and previously held the posts of minister of the economy and minister of finance. I hope you will find the discussions that are being held at the forum today and those that are scheduled for tomorrow interesting.
Turning to the bilateral relations between Russia and Bolivia, they are built on a solid foundation of respect for each other’s interests. Although our mutual trade is relatively small in monetary terms, there has been positive growth: last year, it increased by over 2 percent, or 2.5 percent, if I am not mistaken.
🤝 There are several interesting spheres of cooperation, including high technology. Rosatom is implementing a good programme and is building a nuclear research and technology centre in El Alto. One of the completed projects is a radiopharmacology complex, the largest in Latin America, which is already supplying medicines to Bolivian clinics.

🤝 Russia's President Vladimir Putin met with Dilma Rousseff, President of the BRICS New Development Bank.
💬 Vladimir Putin: Last year we met on the sidelines of the #RussiaAfrica Summit. I am glad to have a chance to continue our dialogue. I must note that over this year the bank has managed to do a lot under your leadership. It has shown a significant net profit for the first time; in fact, it is becoming sustainable and operating more smoothly and successfully.
I hope today we will have a chance to talk about the bank’s further development and our cooperation with the bank, as well as discuss what can be done together, including on such large platforms as the St Petersburg International Economic Forum. Moreover, the topic is very acute: Developing multipolarity and strengthening its economic base.
Of course, your opinion as the bank’s chair and as former president of Brazil, political figure, and head of a big financial institution, would be very important in all the discussions held on the site of the International Economic Forum.
🇷🇺🇧🇷 Please give my best regards to the current President of Brazil, Mr Lula da Silva. We agreed to have a telephone conversation in a few days, to discuss bilateral ties. We also look forward to seeing him at the #BRICS summit in Kazan this autumn.

🇷🇺🇿🇼 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin held talks with President of Zimbabwe Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa at the Constantine Palace.
💬 Vladimir Putin: Russia‒Zimbabwe relations were established a long time ago when your nation was struggling for independence, and they continue to advance extensively.
I was pleased to note that our mutual trade increased severalfold over the past year. However, it is clear that we still have much work to do in diversifying our ties.
We have very good relations in the humanitarian and educational sectors. Currently, 400 young people from your country are studying in Russia, and we increase this quota on a regular basis.
I appreciate your involvement in our joint persistent efforts in the international arena. Our stances on the core issues on the international agenda are quite similar and even coinciding.
I am glad to have this opportunity to meet with you on the sidelines of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum. I am confident that your presence here will serve as a testimony to the African continent’s interest in developing relations with Russia, which is among our priorities.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during a meeting with Deputy Chairman of the Transitional Sovereign Council of the Republic of the Sudan Malik Agar (St Petersburg, June 7, 2024)
💬 Sergey Lavrov: We hope that during our conversation you will share information on the latest developments in your country. We are primarily concerned with ending the conflict as soon as possible and returning to the national dialogue.
❗️ We are ready to assist this in every way.
A year ago, we met with you in Moscow. The situation was different at that time. In any case, there are now influential external players that are working out of sync. We would like to bring their efforts to a common denominator to prevent some or other forces inside the Sudan from being tempted to continue the conflict. We will discuss this in greater detail later today.

🏅 On June 9, 1945, the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the USSR issued an executive order to establish the medal For the Capture of Berlin, a symbol of the end of the Great Patriotic War and Victory over Nazism.
The Berlin Offensive, which lasted 23 days from April 16 to May 8, 1945, was the final chord in liberating Europe from the Nazi oppression. The troops of the three Red Army fronts, led by marshals Georgy Zhukov, Konstantin Rokossovsky and Ivan Konev, overcame the resistance from the million-strong Wehrmacht troops, capturing the capital of Nazi Germany. In the early hours of May 1, 1945, the Victory Banner was raised atop of the Reichstag.
🖼️ A total of 116 sketches were submitted for the design competition for the medal For the Capture of Berlin. By May 3, 1945, the initial metal samples were cast based on the best designs. The sketch by artist Alexander Kuznetsov was approved as the final option.
👉 The decoration was presented to participants in the heroic battle and capture of Berlin. Overall, more than 1.1 million soldiers, officers and commanders received the medal.
