🇺🇳 The UN General Assembly adopted a Russian-drafted resolution on combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism, racial discrimination and xenophobia.
For the second year in a row, the adoption of this instrumental document has been accompanied by overt political posturing by Western countries and their attempts to settle scores with Russia against the backdrop of the continuing Ukraine crisis.
This time around, the West and, in particular, the EU countries abandoned any attempts to justify their refusal to support the resolution by clumsy references to freedom of assembly and speech. They spoke out against international efforts to fight the aggressive manifestations of racism and xenophobia.
The position adopted by Germany, Italy and Japan is a matter of special concern, since the fact that they have been encouraging dangerous trends of this kind leads us to question where the Western democracy is headed considering the dark pages in the history of these three countries in the 20th century.
☝️ Nevertheless, the outcome of this vote was a clear demonstration of the unwavering and tangible support by the international community for Russia’s initiatives as submitted to the UN General Assembly every year.

📑 The Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation has compiled the latest report on the glorification of Nazism, the proliferation of neo-Nazism and other practices that escalate modern forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, 2023 edition.
The report has been drawn up in line with Russia’s efforts to preserve the historical truth about the course and outcome of World War II.
Primarily caused by blatant double standards and revanchism, the negative tendencies described in the report become more prominent every year.
❗️ This year is sadly no exception
<...>
There is a significant number of countries today where Nazi collaborators are now honoured as “fighters for independence” of these countries, and where all possible means are used to reshape public opinion to take a different tone. <...> Russia sees increasingly more evidence that the roles played by the officials of these countries are damaging their own people’s interests.
In February 2022, the collective West gained another impetus and motivation to justify its Russophobic activity after Russia started the special military operation to de-Nazify and demilitarise Ukraine and protect the civilian population of Donbass. In reality, the West’s activity took the shape of total discrimination against Russians, which persists to this day.
The exposed tendencies only confirm Russia’s claim that racial discrimination and the glorification of Nazism create a serious threat to the values of true democracy and the protection of human rights, seriously challenging international and regional security.
☝️ Importantly, the absolute majority of members of the global community shares Russia’s approaches to countering the glorification of Nazism.

🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin's remarks at the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council meetings:
Key points:
• We are expected to approve a declaration, drafted on the Russian side’s initiative, on the further development of economic processes within our association for the period to 2030 and further to 2045.
📈 The Eurasian Union will soon be 10 years old. Over this period, the scale of trade has almost doubled and the aggregate GDP of the EAEU countries has grown from $1.6 trillion to $2.5 trillion US dollars.
• In Russia, GDP added three percent in the first three quarters and we expect it to reach 3.5 percent for the annual results. Other EAEU countries have also recorded a substantial increase in GDP.
🇮🇷 In the run-up to our meeting, a free trade agreement between the EAEU and Iran was signed. Once the agreement comes into force, practically all categories of goods produced in the Union will obtain duty-free access to the extensive Iranian market with 90 million consumers, and non-tariff barriers will be significantly reduced.
🇪🇬🇦🇪🇮🇩 Work on a draft free trade agreement with Egypt is at a very advanced stage. Apart from that, the Eurasian Commission is negotiating with the UAE and Indonesia.
• Overall, as the EAEU’s authority and economic weight grows, an increasing number of countries and international organisations are showing interest in establishing mutually beneficial contacts with the EAEU.
🇨🇳 The work on aligning integration processes within the EAEU and China's Belt and Road Initiative is also yielding real results.

🎙 Statement by Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question (January 12, 2024)
💬 Russia supported Algeria's initiative to convene today's urgent meeting of the Council on the situation in the zone of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, with a focus on the threat of forced displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, in light of the illegality of such steps by West Jerusalem in the terms of international law.
And that is only part of the deadly "puzzle" that assembles into the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
As of now, more than 23,000 people have been killed in the enclave. That includes, by preliminary data, more than 7,500 children. Thousands of people are missing under the rubble of destroyed buildings. <...> Civilian infrastructure, including medical facilities, has been destroyed almost completely. The total blockade of Gaza has led to acute shortages of water, fuel and medical supplies. <...> Since the beginning of the escalation, some 2 million people have already been displaced. Half of them are women and children. <...>
❗️ The attack of October 7 cannot be used to legitimize Israel's use of force in the Gaza Strip. <...>
A coherent strategy of West Jerusalem is emerging. Its goal is to forcibly displace Palestinians, and its logic is simple - to make life in Gaza unbearable, even impossible, leaving the civilian population with the unimaginable choice – either leave your homeland or get killed. <...>
☝️ Under the current circumstances, Russia's principled approaches remain unchanged:
• an immediate ceasefire,
• unimpeded & safe humanitarian access,
• release of hostages,
• the restoration of the political horizon on the basis of the two-state solution for the Middle East settlement.
⚠️ Without an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the Middle East risks plunging into a full-scale war with the most serious global implications.

🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing with regard to strikes by US-led "international coalition" against the territory of Yemen (January 12, 2024)
💬 On January 11, the so-called "international coalition" led by the United States and Great Britain, which included Australia, Canada, Bahrain and the Netherlands, who calls itself the capital of world justice, launched massive strikes on the territory of Yemen.
This was not an attack against a group in this country, but against the people of Yemen as a whole. They hit the Yemeni port of Hodeidah, the cities of Sanaa, Saada, Zabid, Taiz and Damar. The US and satellites bombed airports and other infrastructure. Fires are burning in shell craters.
Unfortunately, what we are witnessing in Yemen looks painfully familiar. We have seen the exact same pattern of destruction in Gaza for the past three months. Now, long-suffering Yemen has once again become a hotbed of hostilities in the region.
Clearly, Washington is not going to stop there. The White House said it "reserves the right" to resume military action if there be more "threats". It does not take an expert to see that the United States will determine these "threats" and response measures at own discretion, without slightest regard for international law.
☝️ Massive strikes of the US and the UK against the territory of Yemen have nothing to do with the right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter. <...>
The US and its allies have a long record of gross violations and misinterpretations of international law. <...> Apparently, when it comes to Washington's hegemonic aspirations, neither international law nor the ICJ carry any weight for Americans and their allies. This is what the US-promoted "rules-based world order" is about. <...>
❗️ We call on the international community to resolutely condemn the attack on Yemen by a group of countries under the lead of the US and UK that was done without a UN mandate.

Press release on the roundtable discussion on the Role of Multilateral Associations in Combating Pandemics
On December 8, 2023, the Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare (Rospotrebnadzor) and the Foreign Ministry held a hybrid-format roundtable in St Petersburg titled “The Role of Multilateral Alliances Associations in Combating Pandemics.”
This was the first discussion between representatives of the executive bodies from presiding countries of multilateral associations such as the EAEU, SCO, ASEAN, CIS, the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA), the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC), the Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD), and the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA). These associations span more than 50 member countries.
As the participants analysed the measures taken to combat the coronavirus, they specifically focused on the regional level of cooperation and coordination of actions, which is often crucial for effective efforts at the national and global level. In this regard, multilateral formats can play a key role if they have well-established mechanisms for countering major infections and similar threats.
Representatives of these associations highlighted the need for multilateral approaches, emphasised the exchange of best practices to enhance preparedness for future pandemics, and condemned any attempts at politicising healthcare initiatives.
Considering the interest expressed by the participants and the Russian side’s belief in the importance of coordinating regional responses to communicable diseases, there are plans to continue meetings between representatives of leading associations in Greater Eurasia. This approach will complement Russia’s existing ties with its partners in the EAEU, the CIS, the SCO, ASEAN and other structures.

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Statement on the destruction of a Russian Il-76 military transport
💬 On the morning of January 24, the Kiev regime committed another terrorist act by downing a Russian Il-76 military transport plane near the village of Yablonovo in the Korochansky District, Belgorod Region. It was carrying 65 Ukrainian POWs for an agreed-upon exchange. All of them, as well as six crew members and three Russian officers on board the plane were killed.
❗️ The plane was hit by a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile system from the village of Liptsy in the Kharkov Region.
This is yet another atrocity committed by Zelensky’s criminal regime. Immediately after the plane went down, they made a misanthropic statement about the victory of the “valiant Armed Forces of Ukraine.” However, the office on Bankovaya Street changed its rhetoric as soon as it became known that the plane was carrying Ukrainian servicemen to an exchange site. They then began denying their involvement in the crash.
☝️ Kiev was well aware of the planned exchange. It also knew how the POWs were to be moved and by what route. The attack against the plane was a deliberate act. This terrorist act clearly demonstrates the Kiev regime’s inability to negotiate.
This is not the first cruel murder of Ukrainian POWs by the Zelensky junta. On July 29, 2022, the Banderites fired a missile at the penal colony in Yelenovka (DPR) where militants from the Azov battalion had been held captive. Over 50 people were killed and more than 70 wounded.
‼️ We resolutely condemn the Kiev regime’s terrorist act in the Belgorod Region. All those involved, including the organisers and executors from the Ukrainian military and civilian officials will be identified and held responsibly under Russian law.
This action shows once again the criminal nature of the neo-Nazi dictatorship in Kiev. Its leaders are indifferent to human life. They treat people as “expendable material” and kill them on orders from their Western bosses with Western-supplied arms.
It is perfectly obvious that the Zelensky criminal regime, nurtured by the US and its NATO satellites, poses a substantial threat not only to Russia but also to Ukraine, its ordinary citizens and the rest of the world. Being in agony, this regime can commit the most heinous atrocities.
👉 We believe international organisations, national governments and the world public must denounce this terrorist act and other crimes committed by the Kiev regime. Silence can only mean support for the regime’s barbarous nature and terrorist actions.

❗️ On January 24, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with the permanent representatives of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) nations at the UN.
They exchanged views on the unprecedented escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Sergey Lavrov told the OIC delegates about the main results of his participation in the recent UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East and described in detail Russia’s view of the current turbulent problems in the region.
The meeting confirmed the similarities of the positions held by Russia and the Muslim world on the problems in the Middle East, including the conflict in the Gaza Strip. The participants emphasised the need to immediately declare a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinians and settle the issue through political and diplomatic channels in accordance with UN Security Council and General Assembly resolutions, and also the Arab Peace Initiative and the Madrid Principles, including the two-state formula.
<...>
In the context of the humanitarian crisis on Palestinian lands and the high risk of the entire Middle East sinking into a bigger war, Sergey Lavrov emphasised the importance of consolidating the positions of the external players on Palestinian-Israeli problems. This would make it possible to stabilise the situation and create conditions for new negotiations.
In this context, it is vital to ensure Palestinian national unity under the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and prevent the administrative and geographical fragmentation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. The participants noted the importance of creating an effective collective mediation mechanism with a leading role played by the Middle East countries.
The Russian initiative to hold consultations in Moscow with the region’s countries and the international players who are interested in an honest dialogue is designed to develop constructive multilateral cooperation on the Palestinian-Israeli issue.
