🇷🇺🇺🇳 Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations in New York (April 23, 2023)
💬 The United States violated again its obligations under the UN Headquarters Agreement, having denied issuance of US visas to Russian journalists who were supposed to accompany Minister Lavrov on his official visit to New York to take part in the flagship events of the Russian Presidency of the UN Security Council.
This was done despite the fact that Russian media representatives complied with all relevant terms and requirements, including a valid UN accreditation.
❗️ We consider this step as another manifestation of neglect of the international law by the United States. When denying access to UN events for Russian journalists, the US authorities once again demonstrate their true attitude to freedom of speech and availability of information.
We count on the UN leadership and specialized international mechanisms to pay due attention to this egregious situation and take all necessary steps against the violator.

⚡️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s comment on the non-issuance of US visas to Russian journalists to visit the UN headquarters during the Russian Federation's chairmanship at the UN Security Council
💬 Dear friends, of course, I was aware how well our American colleagues are known for such things but I was certain that this time it would be different, considering the focus placed on their ugly behaviour. I was mistaken.
The country that calls itself the strongest, the smartest, the freest and the most just, has chickened out, did an unwise, stupid thing, that I am convinced of, by showing what its asseverations about protecting freedom of speech and access to information are really worth.
We will also have to work for you, show more energy, and put more effort into bringing the truth to the world community and the public.
Please try to keep track of what we are going to do there and spread this truth through your channels. I am convinced that it will draw much more interest all over the world than the “filtered” information that our Western colleagues bring down on the heads of their viewers, listeners, and readers.
⚡️ Most importantly, be sure that we will not forget or forgive.

🇷🇺🇵🇸 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks at a meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of the State of Palestine Riyad al-Maliki
📍 New York, April 25, 2023
💬 We appreciate this opportunity to meet and discuss cooperation on the occasion of the Security Council meeting on the Middle East, including the question of Palestine.
We have presented our position, and I believe the debate will confirm the position of the majority of members of not only the Security Council but also the members of the UN who are in favour of urgently resuming the dialogue based on Security Council and General Assembly resolutions regarding a two-state solution with all the issues of a final status to be subject to negotiation directly by the Palestinians and Israelis.
And, of course, this is a good opportunity to discuss our bilateral relations which we would like to promote. We have some ideas in this regard.

🎙Embassy statement on the transfer of depleted uranium weapons by the United Kingdom to the Kiev regime
▪On April 25 the Minister of State at the UK Ministry of Defence James Heappey confirmed that the Ukrainian side is being supplied with armour-piercing shells with a "core" of depleted uranium.
▪He cynically stated that London is not monitoring the deployment of these weapons and has no obligation to eliminate the consequences of their use following the end of the conflict.
▪James Heappey’s comments are a grim testament to the ruthlessness of the Anglo-Saxons’ policy of an all-out escalation of the "proxy conflict" they themselves unleashed in Ukraine.
▪We call on the British authorities not to indulge in illusory hopes that they will be able to get off scot-free by making the armed forces of Ukraine accountable for the toxic ammunition now at their disposal.
▪London will not succeed in shifting blame to its Kiev clients for their crimes.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the results of his meeting with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
📍 New York, April 25, 2023
💬 The meeting with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres lasted over an hour. We considered the current issues on the UN agenda.
Antonio Guterres focused on the prospects for the further implementation of the Black Sea Initiative in the context of his own proposal, which was introduced and approved on July 22, 2022.
As he said himself, this is a package that includes assistance for exporting Ukrainian grain from Ukrainian ports and an identical commitment to the Russian Federation in that it concerns the removal of all obstacles to exporting Russian grain, primarily wheat, and fertilisers, created by the Western countries (primarily the United States, the EU, and the UK).
The Secretary-General described his efforts at promoting the Russian part of the deal as much as possible. So far, the progress has not been obvious. He expressed his considerations in a letter explaining the ideas on the further course of actions. This letter requires a thorough review.
Thus far, we do not see the Western countries’ desire to carry out what is necessary for the successful implementation of the Secretary-General’s initiative on the package approach to exporting agriculture products from Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
We will study his latest ideas now that we have them in black and white.

#Opinion by Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova
💬 British media outlet Sky News called Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov “the Jedi master of the dark arts of diplomacy.”
Apparently, this is a Freudian slip against the backdrop of the Western propagandists’ complete ignorance.
In Star Wars, the Jedi represent the Light side.
Here's a snippet on what the creators of Star Wars wrote about the Jedi:
they are Jedi Knights, guardians of peace and justice, the Jedi Order. They stand on the light side of the Force. They are protecting the Galactic Republic. They know how to use the Force, a supernatural power. Lightsabers are their weapons.
In principle, this is all true except that Lavrov... has not yet drawn his lightsaber.

📰 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s article for Russia in Global Affairs magazine (May 5, 2023)
Read in full
Key talking points:
• The UN-centric system is undergoing a deep crisis, the root cause of which was brought on by the decision of certain UN members to replace international law and the UN Charter with some “rules-based international order”. <...> Its masterminds haughtily reject the key principle underlying the UN Charter, which is the sovereign equality of states.
• Since World War II, Washington has pulled off dozens of reckless criminal military operations without even trying to secure multilateral legitimacy. Why bother when your “rules” are unbeknownst to everyone.
• Everyone is aware of it, even though not everyone is talking about it openly: the real issue is not about Ukraine, but rather about the future of international relations. Will they be forged on a sustainable consensus, one based on the balance of interests? Or will they be reduced to an aggressive and explosive advancement of hegemony? The Ukraine issue cannot be considered outside its geopolitical context.
• There should be no double standards. Multilateralism and democracy should enjoy respect both within the member countries and in their relations with one another.
• At this juncture, genuine multilateralism requires that the UN adapt to objective developments in the process of forming a multipolar architecture of international relations. It is imperative to expedite Security Council reform by expanding the representation of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
• It is our common duty to preserve the United Nations as the hard-won epitome of multilateralism and coordination of international politics. The key to success lies in working together, renouncing claims on exceptionalism and – I reiterate – showing respect for the sovereign equality of states. This is what we all signed up for when we ratified the UN Charter.

💬تعليق المتحدثة الرسمية باسم وزارة الخارجية الروسية ماريا #زاخاروفا:
ℹ️ في ٧ مايو ٢٠٢٣ اتخذ مجلس جامعة الدول العربية على مستوى وزراء الخارجية خلال دورته غير العادية قرارا بشأن استئناف مشاركة #سوريا في #جامعة_الدول_العربية.
🇷🇺🇸🇾 وان #موسكو ترحب بهذه الخطوة التي طال انتظارها وأصبحت نتيجة منطقية لعملية عودة سوريا إلى "الاسرة العربية"، التي كسبت ديناميكيا. ونحن من جانبنا في الاتصالات مع العواصم العربية قد قمنا بدعوتها بشكل تدريجي الى استعادة كاملة للعلاقات مع دمشق.
☝️وننطلق من افتراض أن استئناف مشاركة سوريا في عمل جامعة الدول العربية، والتي هي واحدة من الدول المؤسسة لها، سوف تسهم في تحسين الأجواء في منطقة الشرق الأوسط والتغلب على عواقب الأزمة السورية في أقرب وقت ممكن. ونتوقع من الدول العربية زيادة دعمها لسوريا في إعادة الإعمار بعد الصراع.
👏 ونعتقد أن قرار مجلس وزراء خارجية جامعة الدول العربية أظهر رغبة دول العالم العربي في تعزيز تنسيق الإجراءات من أجل حل المشاكل الإقليمية والدولية الملحة، وأكد عزمها على الاستمرار في اتباع سياسة مستقلة على المسرح العالمي على أساس مصالحها الجزرية.
