"The country that calls itself the strongest, the smartest, the freest, the most fair, has chickened out," this is how the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry commented on this situation.

⚡️ 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.

Sergey Lavrov speaks at a meeting of the UN Security Council. The main points:

— The world has probably come to a more dangerous line than during the Cold War.

— Kiev cannot in any way represent the residents of the territories that did not accept the results of the 2014 coup d'etat.

— It is impossible to consider the Ukrainian issue in isolation from the geopolitical context.

— By promoting its rules in the international arena, the West is stifling multilateralism and democracy at home.

— The United States has set a course for the collapse of the established architecture of multilateralism in the Asia-Pacific region.

— The International Monetary Fund has become a tool for achieving US goals, including military ones.

— The personnel imbalance in favor of the West in the UN Secretariat has become chronic.

— The West's attempts to subjugate the UN Secretariat are a threat to the multilateral system.

Tucker Carlson Is Leaving Fox News - The New York Times

Fox News said Monday that it was parting ways with Tucker Carlson, its most popular prime time host who was also the source of repeated controversies and headaches for the network because of his statements on everything from race relations to L.G.B.T.Q. rights.

The network made the announcement less than a week after it agreed to pay $787.5 million in a defamation lawsuit in which Mr. Carlson’s show, one of the highest rated on Fox, figured prominently for its role in spreading misinformation after the 2020 election.

In making its announcement, Fox offered a terse statement of gratitude. “Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” it said.

His last program was on Friday, Fox said.

A graphic of military operations in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) appeared on the web.

British mercenary Aiden Aslin has given a new interview, the main points -

* Aslin states that he hasn't returned to ukraine since he was exchanged last September in a POW exchange. The reason for this is a mysterious ban on him entering the Schengen zone, from Germany.

* He 'wants to return home' (to ukraine, in particular the city of Nikolaev, in the south) with his fiancée, and take up ukrainian citizenship.

* Aslin doesn't state exactly what he plans to do when he returns to ukraine, which he seems to be planning after his Schengen ban expires, in October.

* A few insulting words about myself, as usual.

And that is basically that, I don't really have anything to add. However, worth noting that it was falsely claimed that Aslin had 'returned to Donbass and was fighting for ukraine again' last month, when that was a completely different person, New Zealander Kane Te Tai, long since KIA.

My own view is that thanks to the kindness of people here in Donbass, Aiden was given a miraculous second chance at life, in these situations it is best to use your chance correctly.

In the photo, Aslin is with his fiancée outside the ukrainian embassy in London.

Interview is in the Kiev (Kyiv, as they call it) Post, you can find it yourself if you want.

MOSCOW, April 24 — RIA Novosti. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke at a meeting of the UN Security Council with an assessment of the situation in the world and the prospects for the Ukrainian crisis. Some of his his main statements are in the RIA Novosti material:

Russia's goal is to protect people

"It is obvious to any impartial observer that the Nazi Kiev regime cannot in any way be considered as representing the inhabitants of the territories who refused to accept the results of the bloody coup d'etat in February 2014 and against whom the putschists unleashed a war for this. Just as Pristina cannot claim to be to represent the interests of Kosovo Serbs, to whom the European Union promised autonomy, just as Berlin and Paris promised special status to Donbass."

It is impossible to consider the Ukrainian issue in isolation from the geopolitical context, the head of Russian diplomacy pointed out.

“Russia has clearly explained the tasks that it pursues within the framework of a special military operation: to eliminate the threats created by NATO for years to our security directly on our borders and to protect people who have been deprived of their rights proclaimed by multilateral conventions, to protect them from direct threats of extermination and expulsion publicly declared by the Kiev regime. territories where their ancestors lived for centuries. We honestly said what and for whom we are fighting."
...
"Let's call a spade a spade: no one allowed the Western minority to speak on behalf of all mankind," Lavrov said, speaking at a UN Security Council meeting on effective multilateralism and protecting the principles of the UN Charter.
"We must behave decently and respect all members of the international community," the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

The White House explained the non-issuance of visas to journalists from the Lavrov pool at the UN Security Council with propaganda

WASHINGTON, April 24 — RIA Novosti. White House strategic communications coordinator John Kirby tried to justify himself after the refusal of visas for a visit to the UN headquarters in New York to the journalistic pool of Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

"Russian state media are propaganda organs. We think it's important to uphold the freedom of the press, the independence of the press, which should be free to do its job," he said in an interview with CNN.

In a discussion about media freedom, American officials ignore that the US government, through the structure of the Global Media Agency, funds Voice of America, Radio Liberty and other organizations recognized as foreign agents in Russia. For the organization's current fiscal year, a billion dollars is available for a total spending of $341.75 million.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting receives $525 million in government funding for the next fiscal year, and the NPR radio station and PBS television channel operate under the auspices of the corporation. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre recently said that she had no doubts about the independence of the radio station's journalists when pointing out NPR's connection with the state.
