⚡️ Russia's Foreign Ministry statement on the terrorist attack by the Ukrainian Nazis against Belgorod

Zelensky’s neo-Nazi junta continues to terrorise civilians in Russia. On the evening of August 30, its fighters perpetrated yet another crime by using Vampire, a Czech-made multiple rocket launcher, to shell Belgorod and its suburbs with cluster munitions.

🕯 This barbaric strike left five civilians dead and 46 wounded, including seven minors. One child is in a critical condition and has already undergone surgery. Two adult patients are on their way to Moscow for medical treatment. Residential buildings and other civilian sites have been damaged in the attack.

We sincerely mourn the victims and wish the wounded a speedy recovery.

Russia’s Investigative Committee launched a criminal investigation into the attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces against Belgorod and the Belgorodsky District as per Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (terrorist attack). It is gathering information regarding the circumstances of the attack.

❗️ All those who plotted and carried out this and other crimes perpetrated by the Kiev junta will face inevitable punishment under the law.

There is no doubt that this terrorist attack was designed to sow fear among people and was carefully planned well in advance. Once again, the Kiev clique demonstrated its Nazi essence — just like eight decades ago, during the Nazi invasion, today’s followers of the Nazis and Bandera continue killing innocent people.

Just as back then, the supposedly civilised and enlightened West world, which in reality supports the Nazis, turns a blind eye to their bloody atrocities while also delivering lethal weapons to the cynical killers it nurtured. NATO-made missiles brought all this suffering, fires and destruction to the Belgorod Region. The name of these missiles, Vampire, is quite telling. The Ukrainian Nazis and their Western masters, the bloodsuckers of the XXI century, must recall the lessons of history and seriously consider about the disrepute and infamy the European fascists and their Banderite accomplices had to face at the end of their life’s journey in May 1945.

☝️ Once again, we call on the responsible governments and the relevant international structures to firmly condemn this outrageous terrorist attack and to distance themselves in public from the Kiev regime and its Western curators who commit these crimes. Staying silent in the face of this rampant manifestations of barbarism by the Ukrainian Nazis and their puppeteers and accomplices representing the so-called civilised democracies will be akin to assisting them in their bloody acts.

All this senseless and cruel shelling targeting residential neighbourhoods in Donbass, the Belgorod, Kursk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, Crimea and other Russian regions, as well as the merciless killings of civilians – all this testifies to the agony of the criminal Zelensky regime. It has been mired in terrorist, illegal, corrupt and cynical practices. All it seeks in its impotent rage is to kill as many Russians as possible.

However, no matter how hard it tries, its efforts will be vain and doomed to fail.

✊ People living in these Russian regions have demonstrated their courage and resilience by staying calm and reserved, while the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are ready to promptly respond to any crime by the Ukrainian militants.

The special military operation will carry on until it reaches all its objectives, including de-Nazification and demilitarisation of Ukraine.

🎙 Interview by President of Russia Vladimir Putin to Mongolian Onoodor Newspaper (August 2, 2024)

Key talking points:

• The development of comprehensive and mutually beneficial partnership with Mongolia, our close neighbour and old friend, has always been and remains among the priorities of Russia’s foreign policy in Eurasia.

• Our country was the first in the world to recognise Mongolia’s independence in 1921 and for a long time remained the only guarantor of its sovereignty and security. During the summer of 1939 – a critical period for Mongolia – the USSR, which remained committed to its duty as an ally under the Protocol on Mutual Assistance of March 12, 1936, immediately responded to the Mongolian government's request for assistance in repelling the Japanese aggression in the battles on the river Khalkin Gol.

• The Russian people remember with gratitude the support Mongolia offered us during the Great Patriotic War and commemorates joint battles to defeat the Kwantung Army in the summer of 1945.

• Today, Russia and Mongolia further develop the invaluable traditions of friendship, good neighbourliness and mutual assistance. For instance, this year alone, Russia has supplied over 8,500 tonnes of grain forage to Mongolian livestock farms affected by severe colds and snowfalls, and the Mongolian Government has allocated funding to mitigate the aftermath of the floods in the Ural area.

• In recent years, we have been working on a number of new promising economic and industrial projects, including the construction of the Trans-Mongolian gas pipeline connecting Russia and China, works to modernise and increase the performance of the Ulaanbaatar Railway joint venture, the Rosneft Corporation’s fuel supplies for the fuelling complex at the new Chinggis Khaan international airport, and the renovation of TPP-3 in Ulaanbaatar with the participation of INER RAO – Export.

Russia's trade with India is booming and bilateral payments are proceeding smoothly without the glitches that have been hampering trade with other countries, Anatoly Popov, deputy CEO of Russia's largest lender, Sberbank, told Reuters.

Sberbank is under Western sanctions and therefore cannot make transactions in US dollars and euros or use the SWIFT system for international transfers. However, Popov said the bank has not experienced any problems in India.

Sberbank is a full participant in all Indian payment and interbank systems. There are no restrictions on its operations. India has not joined any anti-Russian sanctions and maintains friendly relations with Russia, a fellow member of the BRICS group of emerging economies.

Sirens and exploding shells in the streets — Governor Gladkov showed how Belgorod residents survived shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces this summer

The head of the Belgorod region published footage from Belgorod, which is regularly shelled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Militants are striking residential buildings, kindergartens, churches, hospitals and shopping centers. Adults and children are seriously injured and killed. The attacks catch city residents in broad daylight and at night. At any time, the sound of sirens can be heard in the sky, and people will have to run for cover, saving their lives.

Sometimes the Ukrainian Armed Forces deliberately choose crowded places as targets so that there are as many victims as possible, and sometimes they simply randomly strike Belgorod, trying to kill at least someone. Footage from city cameras captured the moment of an attack in the middle of the street — local residents barely had time to leave their cars and run into a concrete module when a shell exploded nearby. But the barbaric shelling, intended to intimidate the courageous Belgorod residents, only strengthens them in their righteous anger - Belgorod will definitely survive.

Вой сирен и разрывы снарядов на улицах — губернатор Гладков показал, как белгородцы выживали этим летом под обстрелами ВСУ

Глава Белгородской области опубликовал кадры из Белгорода, подвергающегося регулярным обстрелам ВСУ. Боевики бьют по жилым зданиям, детским садам, церквям, больницам и торговым центрам. Взрослые и дети получают тяжелые ранения и гибнут. Прилеты застают горожан среди бела дня и ночью. В любое время в небе может раздаться вой сирен, и людям придется бежать в укрытие, спасая свои жизни.

Иногда ВСУ намеренно выбирают в качестве цели людные места, чтобы жертв было как можно больше, а иногда просто хаотично бьют по Белгороду, стремясь убить хоть кого-нибудь. На кадры с городских камер попал момент прилета посреди улицы — местные жители едва успели покинуть машины и забежать в бетонный модуль, как рядом разорвался снаряд. Но варварские обстрелы, призванные запугать мужественных белгородцев, лишь укрепляют их в праведном гневе — Белгород обязательно выстоит.
