⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement on the current political situation in the country
💬 The attempted armed mutiny in our country is resolutely rejected by Russian society, which strongly supports President of Russia Vladimir Putin. Reckless aspirations of the conspirators are essentially aimed at destabilising the situation in Russia, destroying our unity, and undermining the efforts of the Russian Federation to reliably ensure international security. Therefore, the mutiny plays into the hands of Russia's external enemies.
We warn Western countries against undertaking even the slightest attempts to use the domestic Russian situation to achieve their Russophobic goals. Such attempts would be futile and will find no resonance either in Russia or among reasonable political forces abroad. We firmly believe that in the near future the situation will find a solution worthy of the age-old wisdom of the Russian people and the Russian State.
All the goals and objectives of the special military operation will be achieved.
☝️ Our country will continue on its sovereign course to ensure its security, defend its values, strengthen its authority in the international arena, and establish a just multipolar world order.
We highly value the understanding of this principled position by our allies and foreign partners, which we are fully aware of already now.

🗓 The legendary Victory Parade took place in Moscow’s Red Square on June 24, 1945 to mark the end of the Great Patriotic War and the triumph of the Soviet people over Nazi Germany.
The Parade commenced at precisely 10 am and lasted for over two hours under the command of Marshall of the Soviet Union Konstantin Rokossovsky. The Parade was reviewed by Deputy Supreme Commander-in-Chief, Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov.
⚔️ Ten combined regiments were formed to take part in the Parade. Each regiment had over a thousand of the most distinguished fighters.
After riding past the soldiers on horseback to the accompaniment of the sounds of a combined military orchestra of almost 1,400 musicians Georgy Zhukov congratulated the Soviet people and the valiant Armed Forces on the Victory.
🥁 Drummer-cadets from the Suvorov Military School were the first to pass through the square. They were followed by the combined regiments of the fronts in order of their north-to-south location. Infantry, marines, pilots, cavalry, cadets, Katuysha rocket launchers, artillery and tanks paraded past the rostrums.
🏴 The Parade reached a peak with the passage of a column of Soviet soldiers that carried 200 lowered banners and standards of the defeated Nazis and threw them at the foot of the Mausoleum.
☝️ Overall, 24 marshals, 249 generals, 2,536 officers, 31,116 sergeants and soldiers that distinguished themselves in combat and were awarded with orders and medals took part in the march. Around 1,850 units of military equipment were part of the Parade.
The anniversary parade for war veterans and home-front workers took place on Red Square on May 9, 1995 to celebrate 50 years since the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
The combined regiments of veterans represented all 10 fronts of the war years with their combat banners. Since then, the Victory Parade has been held on Red Square every year in honour of those who gave the world freedom at the cost of their own lives.

⚡️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin's address to citizens of Russia
Excerpts
• Today, Russia is waging a tough struggle for its future, repelling the aggression of neo-Nazis and their patrons. The entire military, economic and informational machine of the West is directed against us. We are fighting for the lives and security of our people, for our sovereignty and independence, for the right to be and remain Russia, a state with a thousand-year history.
• This battle, when the fate of our nation is being decided, requires consolidation of all forces. It requires unity, consolidation and a sense of responsibility, and everything that weakens us, any strife that our external enemies can use and do so to subvert us from within, must be discarded.
• What we are facing is essentially a betrayal. Inflated ambitions and personal interests have led to treason – treason against our country, our people and the common cause which Wagner Group soldiers and commanders were fighting and dying for shoulder to shoulder, together with our other units and troops.
• Any internal revolt is a deadly threat to our statehood and our nation. It is a blow to Russia, to our people. Our actions to defend the Fatherland from this threat will be harsh. All those who have consciously chosen the path of betrayal, planned an armed mutiny and taken the path of blackmail and terrorism, will inevitably be punished and will answer before the law and our people.
• Those who staged the mutiny and took up arms against their comrades – they have betrayed Russia and will be brought to account. I urge those who are being dragged into this crime not to make a fatal and tragic mistake but make the only right choice: to stop taking part in criminal actions.

📹 President Putin's video address to the Participants in the #BRICS Business Forum
Read in full
Key points:
🔹 Our cooperation is based on the principles of equality, partner support, and respect for each other's interests. And that is what lies at the core of our Association's forward-looking strategic course – the course that reflects the aspirations of most of the world’s community, the so-called global majority.
🔹 Over the last decade, mutual investments among the BRICS countries have increased six-fold. Their overall investments in global economy have doubled, and their total exports have reached 20 percent of the world exports.
🔹 The objective and irreversible process of the de-dollarization of our economic ties is gaining pace. We are working to fine-tune effective mechanisms for mutual settlements and monetary and financial control.
🔹 Russia stands for greater cooperation within BRICS as regards reliable and uninterrupted supplies of energy and food resources to the world markets. We are consistently increasing supplies of fuel, agricultural products and fertilizers to countries in the Global South, making a significant contribution to strengthening global food and energy security, addressing acute humanitarian issues and fighting hunger and poverty in countries in need.
🔹 Our country has the capacity to replace Ukrainian grain, both commercially and as free aid to needy countries, especially since our harvest is again expected to be perfect this year. As a first step, we have decided to gratuitously provide six African countries with 25‑50 thousand tonnes of grain each with free delivery of these cargoes.
🔹 I am confident that the BRICS Business Forum and Business Council will continue their creative work aimed at expanding contacts between the business circles of the Group of Five countries and jointly implementing new mutually beneficial projects.

⚡️ Russia's position at the seventy-eighth session of the UN General Assembly:
Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty
📃 We strictly abide by our obligations under the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). We support its early entry into force. We call on the eight countries whose signature and/or ratification is required for its entry into force to do so without delay.
We consider the position of the USA, which is the only state to have officially refused to ratify the Treaty, to be a major destructive factor for the CTBT. Washington has taken consistent steps towards resuming nuclear tests, including by increasing the readiness of the Nevada Test Site and allocating significant funds for its maintenance. We encourage Washington to reconsider its stance on the CTBT.
❗️ We firmly reject any insinuations that our country might resume nuclear tests. As President Vladimir Putin clearly stated in his address on 21 February 2023, Russia would not be the first to conduct a nuclear test. We will only take this step in response to a similar action by the US. We intend to further maintain our voluntary moratorium on nuclear tests introduced in 1991.

🇷🇺🇹🇷 On September 4, President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan held talks in Sochi.
💬 Vladimir Putin: We continue to maintain the momentum in promoting relations between Russia and Türkiye, facilitated by your direct involvement. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that last year our trade increased by over 80 percent. This positive trend spilled over into the first half of this year.
We have made headway, and I hope that we will complete our talks on establishing a gas hub in Türkiye in the near future, so as to make the energy situation in the region more stable and well-balanced. I believe that this will prove beneficial.
We continue to build the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant. Today, Türkiye has become a member of the international club of nuclear states, following the delivery of the first batch of Russian nuclear fuel to Akkuyu. We will launch the first power unit next year, all goes according to plan.
We have a lot to discuss in the context of maintaining regional security. Of course, we will not overlook issues linked with the Ukraine crisis. I know that you intend to raise questions about the grain deal. We are open to talks on this issue.

🇷🇺🇹🇷 President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of the Republic of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a joint news conference following talks in Sochi (September 4, 2023)
💬 Vladimir Putin: I want to note that Russia-Türkiye multifaceted cooperation, which is based on neighbourliness, partnership and mutual benefit, is successfully developing across all areas.
👉 We paid great attention to current international issues, in particular to the situation around Ukraine. Naturally, we talked about the suspension from July 18 of the Black Sea Initiative on grain exports from Ukrainian ports.
Russia was forced to make this decision because the Western countries had blocked the part of fulfilling the grain deal that ensured Russian agricultural products access to global markets.
It is clear that suspending the deal did not affect the global food market. Grain prices continue to decline. There is no physical shortage of food. Yes, there are problems with fair distribution, but this has nothing to do with the grain deal.
We will be willing to consider the possibility of resuming the grain deal and will do it immediately, as soon as all the agreements set out in that deal on lifting the restrictions on the export of Russian agricultural products are fully implemented.
🇷🇺 Russia will continue to export food and fertiliser, to contribute to price stabilisation and to improve the situation in global agricultural industry. To this end, we have proposed, among other things, to supply one million tonnes of grain from Russia at a preferential price for processing in Türkiye and then transporting it without cost to the neediest countries.
