⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement on London’s intention to supply depleted uranium ammunition to Ukraine
💬 We regard the statement made by British Minister of State for Defence Annabel Goldie about the UK government’s plans to send armour-piercing depleted uranium rounds for the Challenger 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine as yet another proof of London’s intention to take the lead in the anti-Russia campaign.
By doing this, the Anglo-Saxons have disclosed their wish to aggravate the confrontation in Ukraine and have disavowed their authorities’ claims about their commitment to the post-conflict rebuilding of that country.
London has apparently forgotten about the well-known serious consequences of the use of toxic and radioactive munitions by the West during the conflicts in Yugoslavia and Iraq. A desire to increase the suffering of civilians and to do irreparable environmental damage shows that the British have no regard whatsoever for the Ukrainian people.
This openly cynical British policy has once again shown who the real aggressor and war monger in Ukraine is. London must know that it will bear full responsibility for violating the fundamental norms of international law.
❗️ London’s decision will have serious consequences for relations between Russia and Britain and will also cause repercussions on the international stage, where the initial reaction by multilateral organisations has indicated their complete rejection of London’s plans. We will respond to such actions accordingly.

#Opinion by Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova
💬 Against the macabre backdrop of all these Western intrigues related to the International Criminal Court and the false accusations, in particular against Russia’s Commissioner for Children’s Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, I wanted to dig into how Washington manipulated children.
In 1975, during the aggression launched by the US against Vietnam, and with the People’s Army of Vietnam and the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam about to liberate Saigon, Washington made an unprecedented move as part of Operation Frequent Wind. Speaking at noon on April 3, 1975, at a Conference Centre in San Diego, President Gerald Ford said that he ordered Operation Babylift to be carried out under the command of Major General Edward J. Nash.
This kick-started a large-scale effort by the Americans to take children out of Vietnam, including newborn babies. They were airlifted from the country. There is archival footage showing President Ford in person fussing over children who were kidnapped from Vietnam, just like a murderous dictator hungry for some positive media coverage.
This criminal decision by Washington qualifies as a crime under Article II of the 1951 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. At the time, the Americans wanted to completely wipe out the cultural identity of these infants by putting them up for adoption by families in the United States and its allied countries.
Just watch these images: this is how the US military kidnapped children from Vietnam.
The terrible thing here is not just that Washington did this in 1975, de facto depriving thousands of children of their homeland and culture, and erasing their national, ethnic and social identity, but also how this so-called evacuation was carried out.
Operation Babylift was notorious for its poor management. This is an established fact. Unfortunately, there were even casualties. On April 4, 1975, Lockheed C-5A Galaxy, a US Air Force transport aircraft, crashed over Vietnam due to criminal negligence by the US military, killing 78 babies.
Nevertheless, the Americans awarded the crew and kept the operation going, smuggling 3,000 more babies out of Vietnam.
It has been impossible to establish the exact statistics so far. Now that these babies have grown up, many of them are out there trying to find their real parents.
I cannot wait to see the International Criminal Court issue an arrest warrant for senior officials of the United States, the Pentagon and all these would-be humanitarian foundations who were involved in this operation.
Let me remind you what Sergey Lavrov said about the war itself: “I will not even mention the bloody war in Vietnam that lasted for many years. The US got into this war after staging the Gulf of Tonkin incident. <…> The Americans ignored UN General Assembly resolutions condemning these and other aggressive steps by the United States, turning a blind eye to them.” (October 4, 2022).
Now, let’s compare the horrors of Vietnam, which were quite real, with the care and attention children evacuated from the combat zone receive.

Statement of the Russian Mission to the UN in Geneva:
☢️ The UK's plans to supply Kiev with ammunition containing a nuclear component confirm London's intent to follow down the anti-Russian path of the "collective West" in order to inflict a strategic defeat on our country.
💥 By provoking the Kiev regime to use ammunition with a nuclear component, London is pushing the current Ukrainian authorities to further prolong and escalate the conflict with Russia, regardless of the suffering and casualties among the civilian population. This leaves Kiev with no chance for a political and diplomatic settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
🇬🇧 The use of depleted uranium ammunition is typical for British combat operations. This is confirmed not only by their widespread use during the past military campaigns with UK participation, but also by London's negative stance on the resolution "Effects of the use of weapons and ammunition containing depleted uranium", adopted by the UN GA since 2007.

🐦 @russembkenya: It is normal for Western governments to stick their noses into internal affairs of other countries, give estimates and shameless advices.
Moreover, lGBTQ+ issues are personal for them.
They even groundlessly think that they are the ones to determine which country is democracy. https://t.co/dSYjAfk2M5

⚡️Prime Minister Mishustin: The West, when imposing sanctions, tried to assure that they were not directed against the Russians, but now everyone understands that the Russian people were the main target.

💻The United States will create a special unit for cyber attacks. Washington has done similar actions online, but tried not to advertise them. Nevertheless, it is known that Western structures are behind many of Kiev’s information provocations against Russia.
