💬 Ambassador Gennady Gatilov:
▪️ It is with a heavy heart that I have learned about the passing of Ambassador Valery Loshchinin. An esteemed career diplomat with over 45 years of public service, Ambassador Loshchinin exemplified genuine professionalism, devotion to his country, great intuition and wisdom.
🇨🇭 His heart always had a soft spot for Geneva, as he had spent a lot of time here serving as Deputy Permanent Representative of the USSR/Russia to the UN Office and Other International Organizations, as well as the Head of our Mission in 2005-2011.
🕯 Ambassador Loshchinin was a true patriot, a loving father and a good friend. He will be greatly missed in our vast, yet closely intertwined diplomatic community. On behalf of my colleagues at the Russian Mission and myself, I extend my most heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Ambassador Loshchinin, to everyone who had the honor to know this remarkable man both professionally and personally.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to questions from the Moscow.Kremlin.Putin TV show (March 15, 2023)
❓ Question: Could you comment on the recent US drone incident?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: Our military have given their assessment which was related by our ambassador in Washington Anatoly Antonov. He explained to journalists and others how we see it from a global security standpoint. He was summoned to the US State Department, where he was presented with totally unfounded claims about violations of the freedom of air.
You have heard the Pentagon, the Joint Chiefs of Staff saying that the United States will continue to fly wherever it pleases “in accordance with international law.”
☝️ But if we follow this logic, the space around the US has the same status as the space over the Black Sea.
In doing so, they completely ignore the fact that after the start of the special military operation our military declared the relevant areas of the Black Sea adjacent to the shore in certain places to have a restricted status for the use of any aircraft.
❌ The defiant disregard for this objective fact suggests that the United States is constantly trying to create some kind of provocation to fuel confrontational thinking. This is not good.
They constantly say that they are a responsible power interested in strategic stability. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told me this at the meeting in India. But their words are at odds with their deeds.
❓ Question: What does it imply for global security?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: As far as global security is concerned, any incident that triggers a clash between two of the great, major nuclear powers carries very serious risks. They surely realise this.

🎙 Ambassador Gennady Gatilov:
❌ Not every European country adheres to the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities. Especially the Baltic States, Poland and Ukraine, where governments prioritize assimilation of minorities.
🔥 In recent years, intolerance towards Russians – what we call “Russophobia”- has become especially glaring in these countries. They forcefully shut down Russian schools, Russian mass media, even the media outlets simply broadcasting in Russian.
❗️Under absolutely far-fetched pretexts of "fighting the Soviet legacy", local nationalists intensified demolitions of monuments to the soldiers who liberated their countries from Nazism, among whom were representatives of various nationalities of the Soviet Union.
‼️ Thus, they are trying to erase our common history in an attempt to assemble countries with no place for minority groups.

🇺🇳 The Group of Friends in Defense of the UN Charter - Geneva Chapter - gathered on March 17, 2023, for its inaugural meeting.
🎙 Ambassador Gennady Gatilov:
🤝 Our nations share a strong commitment to the universal norms of international law enshrined in the UN Charter, including the principles of sovereign equality of States and non-interference in their domestic affairs.
❗️ At the same time, it is clear that the members of the “collective West” are casting these principles aside. They promote the notorious “rules-based world order”. This concept rests on arbitrary interpretation of the norms of inter-government interaction and seeks to undermine the central coordinating role of the UN in international affairs.
👉 The West also attempts to impose its own vision of the “perfect world development” by imposing unilateral sanctions. It destructively attempts to turn the UN into a tool to artificially inflate anti-Russian hysteria and reinforce hostile sentiments towards the countries in our Group.

🗓 Acting in violation of international law and supported by its allies, the United States launched the Iraq invasion on March 20, 2003. This reckless undertaking wiped out Iraq’s statehood and military, throwing its economy and social sector into complete disarray, and plunging the country into many years of internal military and political strife, from which it has yet to recover.
The invasion also resulted in the overthrow and execution of the legitimate President of Iraq Saddam Hussein, the destruction of the country's basic infrastructure, a severe deterioration of the health system, and rise in crime.
❗️ It is worth mentioning that weapons of mass destruction have never been found in Iraq. Leaders of the countries which invaded Iraq justified their criminal actions by citing faulty intelligence.
According to various estimates compiled by the academic community and NGOs, from 100,000 to 205,000 civilians met a violent death, and the invasion indirectly caused about 650,000 civilian casualties (independent reports & surveys give a wide range of estimates up to 1,2 mln casualties). The number of Iraqi refugees reached 1.5 million, and there were 2 million internally displaced persons. Today, over 12 million Iraqis, or about 30 percent of the country’s population, live below the poverty line.
A substantial body of evidence has been collected on the war crimes committed in Iraq by the US Army and its allies, but despite that most of the perpetrators have yet to be held accountable.
❌ Most episodes have not even been investigated, while criminal charges have been rare.
☝️ The reckless military undertaking led by the United States prompted the emergence of new threats to regional security and stability, creating a hospitable environment for spreading terrorist and extremist ideas, which in turn exposed the whole world to atrocities committed by ISIS.

🎙 Statement by a Russian representative during the interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Iran at the UNHRC 52-nd Session:
🇷🇺 Russia consistently rejects the attempts to politicize human rights issues.
🇮🇷 Iran's example shows how the Western countries continue to use pseudo-humanistic pretexts to follow their usual path of destabilizing domestic situations in the countries they do not like, i.a. by encouraging riots and violence.
❗️ We are revolted by the recommendations of the Special Rapporteur on Iran regarding the need to impose targeted sanctions against individuals and organizations. Instead of assisting Iran in solving the existing problems, the expert merely hypes up and inflames anti-Iranian sentiments. Not to mention the fact that the issues of imposing sanctions do not fall within the competence of both the HRC and the expert mechanisms it creates.

Без мандата ООН против этой страны вводятся экономические ограничения, замораживаются активы, закрываются пункты пропуска на границе. Цель этих противоправных мер – дестабилизировать внутриполитическую ситуацию в стране.
👉 Обеспокоены попытками Запада возродить националистическое движение в Беларуси. Такие организации неофашистского толка целенаправленно готовятся на Украине.
🤐 Вскормленные «коллективным Западом» правозащитные организации замалчивают все эти вопиющие факты. К сожалению, на этот путь встало и УВКПЧ.
❗️ Призываем прекратить вмешательство во внутренние дела Беларуси и продемонстрировать, наконец, реальную заботу о белорусах без внешнего давления под предлогом заботы о правах человека.

Заявление Постпредства России в Женеве:
☢️ Планы Великобритании поставлять киевскому режиму боеприпасы, содержащие ядерный компонент, подтверждают намерение Лондона продолжать курс «коллективного Запада» против России с целью нанесения ей стратегического поражения.
💥 Провоцируя Киев на применение боеприпасов с ядерным компонентом, Лондон подталкивает нынешние власти Украины к дальнейшему затягиванию и эскалации конфликта с Россией, не считаясь со страданиями и жертвами среди мирного населения. Это не оставляет Киеву шансов на политико-дипломатическое урегулирование ситуации вокруг Украины.
❗️ Использование боеприпасов с обеднённым ураном является нормой при проведении боевых операций британскими военными. Это подтверждается не только их широким применением в ходе прошлых военных кампаний с участием Великобритании, но и негативной позицией Лондона в отношении резолюции «Последствия применения оружия и боеприпасов, содержащих обеднённый уран», принимаемой ГА ООН с 2007 года.

Statement of the Russian Mission to the UN in Geneva:
☢️ The UK's plans to supply Kiev with ammunition containing a nuclear component confirm London's intent to follow down the anti-Russian path of the "collective West" in order to inflict a strategic defeat on our country.
💥 By provoking the Kiev regime to use ammunition with a nuclear component, London is pushing the current Ukrainian authorities to further prolong and escalate the conflict with Russia, regardless of the suffering and casualties among the civilian population. This leaves Kiev with no chance for a political and diplomatic settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
🇬🇧 The use of depleted uranium ammunition is typical for British combat operations. This is confirmed not only by their widespread use during the past military campaigns with UK participation, but also by London's negative stance on the resolution "Effects of the use of weapons and ammunition containing depleted uranium", adopted by the UN GA since 2007.

🕯 Today marks 80 years since the horrific “Khatyn Massacre”, when almost 150 civilians, including 75 children, were burned alive by the Nazis along with Ukrainian 118 Shutzmannshaft Battalion in a small village of Khatyn in Soviet Belarus.
▪️ 56 y.o. Joseph Kaminsky, the only adult survivor of the massacre, lived to tell the story. “The Unconquered Man” monument in Minsk (a tribute to almost 3 million Belarusians who died in the Great Patriotic War) depicts Joseph holding the body of his 15 y.o. son Adam.
▪️ According to declassified archives, savagery of the Ukrainian nationalists who willingly sided with Hitler during WWII horrified even the Germans. Grigory Vasyura, a Ukrainian nationalist who led the 118 Shutzmannshaft Battalion, was responsible for many punitive operations and tens of villages decimated in Belarus.
❗️ The crimes committed by the Nazis and their accomplices during WWII have no expiration date.

🎙 Комментарий Постпреда России в Женеве Г.М.Гатилова - «20 лет войне в Ираке»:
🕯 Мир вспоминает 20-летие незаконного вторжения США в Ирак и его ужасающие последствия: более миллиона жертв и циничное разграбление этой страны, которая до сих пор ощущает эхо крупномасштабного вооруженного нападения.
🇺🇸/🇮🇶 США находятся за 9 тысяч километров от Ирака, соответственно, от Багдада в принципе не могло исходить какой-либо реальной угрозы для Вашингтона. Не было на территории ближневосточной республики и американцев, нуждавшихся в защите от систематического угнетения или физического истребления со стороны С.Хуссейна.
💥 Было лишь одно – жестокое, преступное вторжение в суверенное государство под заведомо ложным предлогом с целью свержения неугодного Белому дому режима. В итоге, на крови сотен тысяч простых иракцев обогатилась военная промышленность США.
🤐 За злодеяния в Ираке с американцев никто всерьёз так и не спросил – ни «просвещённые демократии», ни международные правозащитные организации.
