❗️ 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.

قام سعادة سفير روسيا الاتحادية لدى دولة الكويت السيد فلاديمير جيلتوف بزيارة إلى مركز ريكونسنس للبحوث والدراسات حيث شارك في حلقة نقاشية مع الخبراء الكويتيين. وكان النقاش مثمرًا والقى الضوء على مواقف روسيا الاتحادية من عدة قضايا إقليمية ودولية ذات أهمية كبرى.
تطرق سعادة السفير إلى الفوارق الجوهرية بين الأدوار التاريخية والمعاصرة للقوى الكبرى في المنطقة، مع التركيز بشكل خاص على الاختلافات بين النهج الأمريكي والبريطاني مقابل النهج الروسي. كما أعرب عن موقف روسيا الثابت في دعم القضية الفلسطينية ونقده للمحاولات الغربية لتغيير المبادئ الأساسية للسلام في الشرق الأوسط، لا سيما عبر اتفاقيات إبراهيم التي تقوض مبدأ إقامة دولة فلسطينية مستقلة.
وحول الأزمة الاوكرانية، عبر السفير عن وجهة نظر روسيا حول مفهوم التدخل الغربي في الشؤون الداخلية للدول وإثارة الفوضى القابل للتحكم به في المحاولة لاحتواء القوى الصاعدة المعادية للسياسات الغربية الرامية إلى الحفاظ على الهيمنة الامريكية في العالم في الوقت حيث يظهر النظام العالمي الجديد المتعدد الاقطاب.
وكان نقطة محورية في النقاش التأكيد على السباق نحو التفوق العالمي والدور الصاعد للصين والبريكس كقوى متنافسة جديدة. وشدد سعادة السفيرعلى أن روسيا، بمواردها الطبيعية الغنية، ليست في حاجة للمنافسة على موارد الطاقة في الشرق الأوسط، موجهًا الاهتمام نحو تعزيز العلاقات والوجود الروسي القوي في المناطق المهمة من ناحية الاستراتيجية والامنية لروسيا وبالتحديد في محيطها الخارجي المباشر مثل أوروبا الشرقية.
ومن جانبه أعرب رئيس مركز ريكونسنس للبحوث والدراسات عبدالعزيز العنجري، عن تقديره لمشاركة سعادة السفير، وقال: "التعاون مع الجانب الروسي يمثل إسهامًا قيمًا يعزز فهم الديناميكيات الدولية وأثرها على القضايا الإقليمية". وأضاف: "نتطلع إلى استضافة المزيد من النقاشات التي تجمع الخبراء والمسؤولين الروس لتعزيز الحوار الذي يخدم السلام والاستقرار في المنطقة".

H.E. Ambassador of Russia to Kuwait Mr. Vladimir Zheltov visited the local think tank –Reconnaissance Research Center where he participated in a panel discussion with Kuwaiti experts. The discussion was fruitful and shed light on the Russian Federation’s positions on several major regional and international issues.
Ambassador Zheltov discussed the fundamental differences between the historical and contemporary roles of major powers in the region, with a particular focus on the differences between the American and British approaches versus the Russian approach. He also expressed Russia’s steadfast position in supporting the Palestinian cause and criticized Western attempts to change the basic principles of peace in the Middle East, especially through the Abraham Accords, which undermine the principle of establishing an independent Palestinian state.
Regarding the Ukrainian crisis, Ambassador Zheltov expressed Russia’s broader and more comprehensive view on the concept of Western intervention in the internal affairs of states and the stirring of manageable chaos in an attempt to contain rising powers hostile to Western policies aimed at maintaining American dominance in the world while a new multipolar world order is emerging.
The race for global supremacy and the rising role of China and BRICS as new competing powers were focal points in the discussion. His Excellency emphasized that Russia, with its rich natural resources, is not in need of competing for energy resources in the Middle East, directing attention towards enhancing relations and Russia’s strong presence in areas of importance to Russia’s strategic and security interests, specifically in the regions like Eastern Europe.
In his turn, the Founder and CEO of Reconnaissance Research Abdulaziz Al-Anjeri, expressed his appreciation for Ambassador’s participation, stating: “Cooperation with the Russian side represents a valuable contribution that enhances our understanding of international dynamics and their impact on regional issues.”
He added: “We look forward to hosting more discussions that bring together Russian experts and officials to promote dialogue that serves peace and stability in the region.”

⚡️ President Vladimir Putin answered questions from Tucker Carlson, a journalist and founder of Tucker Carlson Network.
Key talking points:
💬 After 1991, when Russia expected that it would be welcomed into the brotherly family of ”civilized nations,“ nothing like this happened. You tricked us (I'm talking about the US), the promise was that NATO would not expand eastward, but it happened five times, there were five waves of expansion.
• I proposed that the US, Russia and Europe jointly create a missile defense system that, we believe, if created unilaterally, threatens our security. <...> In the end they just told us to get lost. Our proposal was declined, that’s a fact.
• In 2008 the doors of NATO were opened for Ukraine. In 2014, there was a coup, they started persecuting those who did not accept the coup, and it was indeed a coup, they created a threat to Crimea which we had to take under our protection. They launched a war in Donbass in 2014 with the use of aircraft and artillery against civilians. This is when it started.
❗️ And what triggered the latest events? Firstly, the current Ukrainian leadership declared that it would not implement the Minsk Agreements. <...> A year or a year and a half ago, former leaders of Germany and France said openly to the whole world that they indeed signed the Minsk Agreements but they never intended to implement them. They simply led us by the nose.
•After we withdrew our troops from Kiev, the other side (Ukraine) threw away all these agreements and obeyed the instructions of Western countries, European countries and the US to fight Russia to the bitter end.
❓ Wouldn't it be better to negotiate with Russia? Make an agreement, already understanding the situation that is developing today, realizing that Russia will fight for its interests to the end. And, realizing this, actually return to common sense, start respecting our country and its interests and look for certain solutions. It seems to me that this is much smarter and more rational.
