❗️NATO countries have transferred 1,170 air defense systems, 440 tanks, 1,510 infantry fighting vehicles and 655 artillery systems to Ukraine since December 2021, according to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.

Most of this equipment has already been destroyed, the agency added.

❗️Watch the documentary by @msgazdiev about how Western countries became the founding fathers of extremism and terrorism.
First the Gestapo, and then Britain and the United States made radicals their weapons. A century ago, the UPA* was funded by German intelligence, received orders to organize terrorist attacks against Poles and Russians. Today, their followers are killing pro-Russian civilians, executing and torturing soldiers.
And ISIS* was born in the depths of American prisons in Iraq. Subsequently, the terrorists were pumped up with American and British weapons, and Syria was divided to pump oil out of it under US supervision.
* Terrorist organizations banned in the Russian Federation.

💬 Undoubtedly, deep down the reasons for the World Majority’s unwillingness to become part of the anti-Russian coalition are not directly related to Ukraine. Russian experts are of the view that “residents of the former ‘third world’ believe that opposing former colonial rulers is right and historically irreversible”.

Russia’s actions are viewed through the prism of restoring the historical justice. There is a genuine “opportunity emerging to build effective patterns of interaction and development not against the West, but in circumvention of the West and without its involvement”. This is not what is known as the “non-violent resistance to evil” according to Leo Tolstoy or Mahatma Gandhi, but just the elementary disregard of the West (the embodiment of evil). As it happens, it is possible to develop successfully outside the “master and slave” paradigm imposed by the former colonial powers.

Merkel Duped Into Re-Admitting Minsk Agreement Needed To Get Kiev Weapons

Merkel once again confirmed that the Minsk Agreements were needed so that Kiev would receive as many weapons and funds from the West as possible, believing she was talking to former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.

The only problem was that the ex- chancellor’s "secret" confession was made to infamous pranksters Vovan & Lexus.

"The Minsk agreements gave Ukraine more time to develop between 2014 and 2021. And now Ukraine can not only receive answers but also get the necessary support."

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on the West’s reckless approach to the Middle East settlement process

Read in full

💬 The material published in France’s Le Figaro has come to our attention. It says that under the pretext of reinvigorating the role of Paris in the Middle East settlement process, the French leadership has instructed high-ranking officials of the country's diplomatic service and intelligence agencies to select a candidate to replace the current President of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas.

Elysee Palace decided to go down the path of regime change in Palestine, seeing this manipulation almost as a panacea for achieving a Palestinian-Israeli settlement.

☝️ We are convinced that such mental constructions reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of regional realities.

Meanwhile, we are hearing more and more about the plans of France, a number of other European countries and EU officials to build a collective format, the functions of which will replace the only legitimate diplomatic support mechanism for the Middle East settlement process, which is the Middle East Quartet of international mediators (Russia, the United States, the EU and the UN) which was approved by the UN Security Council decisions.

❗️ These ploys show that Paris and other European capitals for that matter are reluctant to learn from their own mistakes and prefer to continue the destructive course towards further destabilisation of the Middle East.

🇷🇺🇵🇸 The Russian Federation will continue to interact with the President of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, who is a staunch supporter of a negotiated settlement of the conflict with Israel.

❗️ No one can make decisions for the Palestinian people.

We will continue to help foster the necessary conditions for resetting the political dialogue between the Palestinians and Israelis on a range of final status issues in accordance with the internationally recognised legal framework for the Middle East settlement process, including the Arab Peace Initiative.

We thank all of our Bengali friends for promoting #MotherLanguageDay to the World. For Russia, this is not an empty phrase. Fact: 193 peoples living in Russia use approximately 277 languages. At the same time, 105 languages are used in the state education system, 24 of them-as the language of instruction, 81-as an academic subject.
This girl is singing in 19 languages of the indigenous peoples of Russia.

Congratulations on #InternationalMotherLanguageDay!

Evelina Ilyasova who studies at the Embassy's school was inspired by this date and drew a picture. It depicts children of different nationalities learning their native languages.
