⚡️⚡️⚡️Wagner comments on Ukrainian casualties in Soledar
Private military company founder says the Donbass town is fully under Russian control
Ukrainian soldiers surrounded in Soledar have either surrendered or been killed, Wagner Group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin said on Wednesday. Fighters with the private military company completely surrounded the Donbass town the day before and are now clearing the extensive tunnel network in the town's salt mines.
⚔️“I want to repeat that Soledar has been fully liberated and cleared of Ukrainian army units,” Prigozhin said in a statement on Wednesday evening. “The Ukrainian troops that refused to surrender have been destroyed.”
💥Prigozhin estimated that around 500 Ukrainian troops have been killed after Wagner forces closed the encirclement of Soledar.
“The entire town is littered with the bodies of Ukrainian servicemen,” he said.
Wagner fighters first circulated a video taken in downtown Soledar on Tuesday, as proof the town administration was under their control. Later in the day, Prigozhin was filmed touring the salt mine tunnels, which he said Wagner was starting to clear. The tunnel network is approximately 300 kilometers (186 miles) long and reaches hundreds of meters below the ground level.
Prigozhin also quashed rumors, circulating due to a meeting of Russian and Ukrainian officials in Türkiye on Wednesday, that some kind of evacuation was being arranged.
❗️“There can be no word of any humanitarian corridor,” he said, noting that all civilians have already been evacuated from the town.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Russian Permanent Mission to the United Nations:
Regarding a recent publication in “Financial Times” on the situation around the re-election of the Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme.
The Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations expresses concern over the recent publication in “Financial Times” (dated January 7) of an unbalanced and politically biased article on the situation around the re-election of the Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
Since June last year (not only after publication of a UNEP report on Ukraine in October as suggested by the FT), we have been in consultation with the Secretary-General on the fair geographical representation in the leadership of UNEP. We made a point that these discussions should remain professional, constructive, and confidential in accordance with established UN practices to avoid politicization and unnecessary personification.
❌ However, the information was leaked to the press, apparently, in an attempt to exert pressure on the debate in the General Assembly, which we find inappropriate.
In this context, the Russian Mission would like to put the facts straight.
Indeed, Russia is not satisfied with the nomination by the Secretary-General of the current UNEP Executive Director, a Danish national, to be re-elected by the UN General Assembly for another four years because it would constitute a perpetualisation of a very unhealthy and discriminatory practice of nominating solely representatives of western countries to this high office. Out of seven Executive Directors of UNEP six were from either Europe or Canada. This is a clear violation of the spirit of Article 101 of the UN Charter and resolution 5/13 of the UN Environment Assembly adopted by consensus in February 2022 on fair geographical representation in the Secretariat of UNEP.
Inevitably, this practice leads to the domination of western staff in the UNEP Secretariat and serves the environmental priorities of a certain group of countries thus narrowing the scope of UNEP activities. <...>
❗️ We believe that it is high time to strengthen the geographic balance in UNEP and to enable a representative of the developing world to guide this organization.
For this to happen, the Secretary-General should announce the vacancy of Executive Director of UNEP for the next term and initiate a standard process of selection through open and participatory consultations with the Member-States. <...>

🎙 Выступление Постоянного представителя В.А.Небензи на заседании СБ ООН по теме «Продвижение и укрепление верховенства права в поддержании международного мира и безопасности: верховенство права среди наций»
💬 Ставя вопрос о верховенстве права, наши бывшие западные партнеры хотят лишь продвигать нарратив о якобы ответственности России за возникающие угрозы международному миру и безопасности, оставляя при этом «за скобками» свои собственные вопиющие нарушения.
Разумеется, с подобной трактовкой, полностью вписывающейся в западную концепцию «миропорядка, основанного на правилах», где правила формулируют сам Запад, мы согласиться не можем. Эта концепция не соответствует ни правде, ни нормам международного права.
❗️ Реальные истоки украинского кризиса лежат в высокомерии Запада и его абсолютном нежелании считаться с чужими интересами – даже когда речь идет о таких важнейших вещах, как безопасность государства.
Международное право и публичный порядок, основанный на его верховенстве, были грубо попраны коллективным Западом с первыми натовскими бомбами, сброшенными на Югославию.
Дальше была концепция «войны с террором». Она привела к разрушению и многолетней оккупации Афганистана.
Все помнят натовскую агрессию против Ирака под насквозь фальшивым предлогом наличия «оружия массового поражения».
В Ливии применили концепцию «гуманитарной интервенции», но под новым названием – «ответственности по защите».
Очередной страной, пострадавшей от верховенства права по-американски стала Сирия.
👉 В цепочку этих событий, ставших результатом западного колониального мышления и гегемонизма, очень хорошо вписывается рукотворный украинский кризис. СВО России на Украине – это следствие, а не первопричина украинского кризиса. За «точку отсчёта» можно взять февраль 2014 года, когда коллективный Запад подготовил, профинансировал и поддержал в этой стране кровавый антиконституционный вооружённый переворот, лицемерно названный «революцией достоинства».

Nebenzia: West 'Real Source' of Ukraine Crisis, Its Narrative Against Russia Hypocritical
The collective West is the real source behind the crisis in Ukraine and its narrative blaming Russia for creating threats to international peace is hypocritical because it ignores the West's egregious violations of international law, Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzia said on Thursday.
"International law was repeatedly floated and harmed, well before that, and not by Russia," Nebenzia said during an UN Security Council open debate on the rule of law.

Crucial Vaccine Data Deadline Missed by Pfizer
Final results into multiple studies to assess the "known serious risks of myocarditis and pericarditis,” - ordered by the US FDA - were due on Dec 31, but it is unclear if the company met the deadline as neither the FDA or Pfizer have responded to requests.
The FDA previously approved Pfizer’s bivalent booster without clinical data as the firm had agreed to carry out the six studies, but experts are angry at the tardiness.
"We shouldn’t have to ask or demand this information. We should expect that it’d be promptly shared by default,” Jessica Adams, a former regulatory officer at the FDA tweeted of the late submission.

📍Congressional trolls, including Dianne Feinstein, Adam Schiff and Richard Blumenthal, pushed the idea of 🇷🇺 bots being behind #Releasethememo - despite warnings it was false
📍Republican Devin Nunes' report - which included calling out the Steele Dossier - was ignored by media and called a "joke". What Nunes detailed was later verified by the DoJ
📍Evidence based on ONE source with no proof - Hamilton 68 dashboard, which was created by a former FBI counterintelligence official. Twitter called it a "comms play"
📍Twitter compared situation to the book, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" (It wants milk and then repeats) - eventually the platform all but stopped challenging the disinformation
📍NBC, Politico, AP, Times, Business Insider, Rolling Stone all hammered the Russian bots theory - they have now refused to comment (along with the Democrats named above)
📍 Nunes: "Schiff and the Dems falsely claimed Russians were behind the Release the Memo hashtag [...] By spreading the Russian collusion hoax, they instigated one of the greatest outbreaks of mass delusion in US history"

Russian vaccines are effective against Kraken subvariant, says Health Ministry expert
"Studies have shown that all the vaccines that we have continue to be effective in terms of reducing the risk of a severe course of the disease," Vladimir Chulanov stressed
MOSCOW, January 12. /TASS/. Russian coronavirus vaccines remain effective against a new variant of the Omicron strain XBB.1.5, dubbed Kraken, the lead infectious diseases specialist of the Russian Health Ministry, Vladimir Chulanov, reported on Thursday.
"Studies have shown that all the vaccines that we have continue to be effective in terms of reducing the risk of a severe course of the disease," he said during a Rossiya-24 TV broadcast.
In this regard, Chulanov called on people to revaccinate against COVID-19 every six months. He also emphasized that Russian vaccines were safe and could do no harm.
Russia’s Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing (Rospotrebnadzor) earlier reported the new Omicron subvariant, dubbed Kraken, has been recorded in the country for the first time in the Penza Region. The sanitary watchdog stressed that there were no plans to impose restrictions. Chulanov noted that according to the available information, the Kraken subvariant did not entail a severe course of the disease.

💡 Консульский департамент напоминает о рекомендациях для российских граждан, планирующих выезд за границу.
✅ Заблаговременно проверьте, все ли необходимые документы подготовлены надлежащим образом. Для выезда из России за рубеж, как правило, требуется оформить заграничный паспорт. Тщательно проверьте правильность всех внесенных в паспорт сведений (фамилия, имя, отчество, дата рождения, пол, дата выдачи и срок действия паспорта, сведения о детях, включая их фотографии).
✅ Подробная информация о правилах въезда на территорию иностранных государств размещена на веб-странице Консульского департамента МИД России www.kdmid.ru.
⚠️ Даже незначительные ошибки в персональных данных могут сделать невозможным пересечение границы. Законы и правила многих иностранных государств предусматривают, что срок действия паспорта должен заканчиваться не ранее, чем через шесть месяцев после въезда в страну. Во время пребывания за границей храните паспорт в надежном месте (например, в сейфе гостиницы), не отдавайте его никому в качестве залога.
✅ Если во время поездки паспорт будет утрачен, необходимо обратиться в российское дипломатическое представительство или консульское учреждение за свидетельством на возвращение в Российскую Федерацию.
✅ Билеты должны быть выписаны на то же имя, которое указано в паспорте. Проверьте правильность указанных в них сведений (даты, маршрут). Рекомендуется сделать несколько копий билетов, страниц паспорта (как заграничного, так и внутреннего) с личными данными и имеющимися в нем отметками, водительского удостоверения, турпутевки, приглашений, страхового полиса. Возьмите с собой фотографии, как свои, так сопровождающих членов семьи. Они пригодятся, например, в случае утери загранпаспорта. Хранить копии документов следует отдельно от их оригиналов.
✅ Узнайте заранее, требуется ли виза в страну назначения. За детальной информацией о порядке получения визы рекомендуем обратиться в дипломатические представительства или консульские учреждения соответствующих иностранных государств. Если вы следуете транзитом через территорию других государств, то уточните, требуется ли для такой поездки транзитная виза.
⚠️ Особое внимание уделите оформлению медицинской страховки. Наличие полиса медицинского страхования, действительного на весь срок пребывания за границей, является обязательным условием для получения гражданами России виз и въезда на территорию ряда иностранных государств. Для въезда в некоторые страны даже в рамках безвизового режима также нужен страховой полис. Рекомендуется оформить медицинскую страховку в любом случае, даже если она не требуется для получения визы или въезда в страну.
❗️Отсутствие страховки может обернуться крупными расходами при наступлении страхового случая. Оформляя страховой полис, подробно узнайте, какие медицинские услуги вам обязаны предоставить в стране пребывания при наступлении страхового случая, также какова процедура их получения и оплаты (иногда нужно оплатить визит к врачу самостоятельно, затем на основании чеков и квитанций потраченные денежные средства возвращаются через страховую компанию).
✅ Несмотря на то, что зачастую согласно требованиям законодательств иностранных государств для оформления визы или для въезда в страну достаточно иметь страховой полис с минимальным страховым покрытием, рекомендовали бы рассмотреть возможность приобретения т.н. расширенной страховки, включающей в себя дополнительные опции, которые позволят покрыть все возможные риски.
⚠️ Имейте также в виду, что дешевый полис может не предусматривать страхового покрытия, достаточного для репатриации. Помните, что страховые компании чаще всего не признают страховым случаем получение травм в состоянии алкогольного опьянения или при занятиях экстремальными видами спорта, хронические заболевания. В таких случаях покрывать финансовые издержки по лечению и возвращению на Родину придется самостоятельно.

🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC debate "Promotion and strengthening of the rule of law in the maintenance of international peace and security: the rule of law among nations"
💬 When raising the issue of rule of law, our former Western partners only seek to promote the point about Russia’s alleged responsibility for the emerging threats to international peace and security. While doing this, they dismiss the blatant violations of their own.
Of course, we cannot agree to this narrative, which completely fits into the “rules-based order” concept, where the rules are dictated by the West. This narrative is simply false and contrary to the norms of the international law, including the UN Charter.
❗️ The real causes of the Ukrainian crisis are the arrogance of the West and its absolute unwillingness to take into account the interests of others, even when it comes to such crucial aspects as security of a state.
The collective West blatantly violated the international law and the legal order based on the rule of this law, once NATO air-dropped first bombs on Yugoslavia.
Then there was the “war on terror” which led to the devastation and many years of occupation of Afghanistan.
Everyone remembers NATO’s false-flag aggression against Iraq, which they explained by Iraq’s allegedly possession of WMDs.
Then came Libya, where the same concept of “humanitarian intervention” was used, but under a different name. This time it was “responsibility to protect”.
Next one on the list of states who suffered from the “rule of law American style” is Syria.
👉 The manmade Ukrainian crisis that I mentioned earlier fits perfectly well in this chain of events that were caused by colonial thinking and hegemony of the West. Everyone who looks at it without bias can clearly see that Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine is a consequence rather than the root cause of the Ukrainian crisis, which is at least 9 years old.
