১৯২০ সালের ১৭ মার্চ একজন মহা মানুষের জন্ম হয়। তার নাম শেখ মুজিবুর রহমান। পরে তিনি স্বাধীন বাংলাদেশের স্থপতি আর বাঙালি জাতির অবিসংবাদিত নেতা হয়ে উঠবেন।
এই দিন যে শুধু বাংলাদেশীদের জন্য বিশেষ তা নয়, সকল মুক্তিকামী ও প্রগতিশীল জনগণের জন্য এটা হচ্ছে উৎসব।
রাশিয়া ও বাংলাদেশের মধ্যে সম্পর্কের দৃঢ় ভিত্তি স্থাপন করলেন বঙ্গবন্ধু যার জন্য আমরা অত্যন্ত কৃতজ্ঞ। এই ভিত্তির উপরে শেখ মুজিবের গর্বিত কন্যা শেখ হাসিনা রাশিয়ার সঙ্গে বাণিজ্য, বিনিয়োগ, কৃষি, শক্তিসহ অনেক ক্ষেত্রে সহযোগিতা উন্নয়ন করছে।
শুভ জন্মদিন, বঙ্গবন্ধু!

🇷🇺 🇧🇩 On March 13-15, this year the 4th session of the Russia-Bangladesh Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation (#IGC) – the key mechanism for bilateral economic relations – was held via videoconference.
The Parties stated that there is a significant potential for trade and economic cooperation, despite the logistical and financial difficulties arising due to the unstable geopolitical situation.

Myth:

"Food and energy prices are now declining, partly thanks to the Solidarity Lanes…" (EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell to the UN Security Council on EU-UN Cooperation, February 23, 2023, New York)

Facts:

The exports of cheap Ukrainian grain via Solidarity Lanes really brought about a tangible reduction in prices on grain and other food but only in the EU itself rather than the entire world.

🌾 Some EU countries are literally flooded by much cheaper Ukrainian agricultural products. Local farmers are about to go bankrupt.

👉 In other words, the international “humanitarian” initiative that was supposed to help the poorest countries amounts in practice to nothing more than a commercial project serving the interests of Brussels.

❗️ We condemn and reject acts of religious intolerance and emphasize once again our principled position that actions aimed at offending the feelings of believers and inciting inter-religious hatred are unacceptable.

❗️ We would like to reiterate our strong stance on the critical importance for social cohesion and sustainable development of mutual understanding and tolerance in regard to religion, beliefs, culture, ethnicity and language.

❗️ We call upon all States to further promote joint efforts in order to achieve the goal of building a world where individuals of diverse faiths, religions, beliefs, languages and cultures would co-exist in harmony and enjoy equal rights and mutual respect.

Since 2014, Crimea's own revenue has increased by more than fourfold.

“In Crimea, favorable business environments have been established, leading to an increase in the number of self-employed citizens and independent business owners. This could not but boost tax revenues,” said the head of the Republic of Crimea Sergei Aksyonov.

The Ukrainian economy shrank by 70% over the same time period.

🇷🇺🤝 It's been 9 years since Crimea reunited with Russia following a free vote by its residents in the March 2014 referendum. The peninsula has come a long way since then, it has changed for the better & become one of the most rapidly developing regions of our continent.

Major transport infrastructure has been built from nothing, and existing production facilities have been overhauled. It is the Crimean Bridge & an international airport in Simferopol.

🏘 The social infrastructure has been expanded & elevated to a new level. Since 2014, eight schools & over 100 kindergartens have opened. Several multi-purpose medical centres have also opened, & 6 major sport facilities have been rebuilt. Housing construction volumes also continue to expand.

The creation of a free economic zone in Crimea helped expand local business operations. The peninsula has received investment worth over 276.6 billion roubles, over 5,700 infrastructure facilities have been put into operation, and 89,400 jobs have been created.

⚡️ The elimination of the energy blockade, imposed by Ukrainian nationalists, was a landmark achievement. In 2015, the Crimea-Krasnodar Territory energy bridge made the peninsula part of the Russian power grid. In 2022, three electric substations began operating on the southern Crimean coast. Moreover, the peninsula’s water blockade was also relieved last year when a dam blocking the inflow of water was blown up.

The region enjoys inter-ethnic & inter-religious harmony. Russia guarantees the civil rights of all nationalities living in the peninsula. Crimean Tatars now can study in their native language for the first time.

💬 President Vladimir Putin speaking at a concert marking the seventh anniversary of Crimea’s reunification with Russia (March 18, 2021): “We have done a lot, yet there is much to be done in Russia in general & for the development of Crimea and Sevastopol. We understand it. We will do it, because we are a single, large, powerful force. Because we are united!”

❗️ #DebunkingMyths spread by the EU leadership

Myth:

The consequences of the war have global dimensions. They include food and energy security risks that trigger price hikes fraught with serious consequences for people in the poorest countries. The growth of prices on food and basic necessities has become an added burden to the difficulties of everyday life in many countries. During the year, the EU and its countries made their contribution to relieving this burden that is a result of this war (Remarks by the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell at the UN Security Council, February 24, 2023, New York).

Facts:

The European Union is going all-out to change its image and present itself to the former colonies of its member-countries as a generous and selfless political association promoting justice and prosperity in the world.

☝️ Financial aid is the EU’s main trump card in this context. However, the provision of financial and technical assistance to those in need cannot be an equitable replacement for the grain and fertiliser they have failed to receive in full.

Meanwhile, statements by EU officials about growing food security risks and the plans to impose more and more sanctions are triggering price hikes on grain and other food on the world market. Considering the psychology of the market, this is bound to affect the costs of cargo insurance and other relevant services.

⚠️ This will make food less and less affordable to the people in needy countries.

Burning of Quran by Ukrainian troops evidence of their Nazi ideology, Syrian observer says

Chechen Republic chief Ramzan Kadyrov promised to track down and punish Ukrainian servicemen who filmed themselves ripping apart a Quran and burning its pages in a viral TikTok video, asking Allah to “hasten” their “inevitable demise.”

Commenting on the footage, Syrian political analyst Usama Dannura said it shows that the direct allies of the Ukrainian regime include groups which, under the banner of liberalism and freedom, carry out acts to desecrate the Holy Book.

“The governments of the NATO countries indulge in these actions. Today they are supporting the Ukrainian Army with weapons, and this army insults the Islamic religion and its symbols,” Dannura said.

“In this act, the Ukrainian Army represents hatred itself as an ideology. The irreconcilable Nazi ideology of theses troops lies in their contempt for other religions,” the observer added.
