🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on an event convened by the United States under the pretext of supporting democracy around the world
💬 The United States plans to hold, on March 28-30, an international event which they call the Summit for Democracy. A similar meeting was held in December 2021.
This is, therefore, the second attempt by the current US administration to convene some kind of conference in order to - as Washington is portraying it - form a coalition of democratic states led by the United States.
We consider the US authorities’ claim to leadership in promoting democratic values on a global scale the height of hypocrisy since their reputation in this realm cannot even be called dubious. It has been ruined completely. The facts are widely known. Some of them can be found, in particular, in the Foreign Ministry Statement released on December 1, 2021.
👉 The “summits for democracy” are a clear demonstration of neo-colonial practices in US foreign policy. The efforts to organise and convene them are about the United States’ push to renew and legitimise the American tools of external control and interference in the domestic affairs of sovereign states and to force everyone to look at the world through the lens of the rules-based order which is being promoted with the goal of serving Washington's global interests.
👉 At the same time, we are talking about them building an ideological platform to fight against the countries that the US political elite is trying to label as autocracies, primarily, Russia and China.
We deeply regret UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ decision to take part in this unseemly spectacle.
❗️ Responsible participants in international communication should not engage in “democratisation” or draw extra dividing lines. It is high time for the United States and its allies to resume compliance with international law and to join efforts to create proper conditions for peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial cooperation.

🇷🇺🤝 On January 1, 2023, Russia assumed the chairmanship of the Eurasian Economic Union (#EAEU), an organisation that united Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and our country in 2015.
Russia’s chairmanship has the following priorities:
• Developing the technological potential of the member states;
• Boosting interaction in digital transformation ;
• Developing the agricultural sector;
• Creating common energy markets ;
• Harmonising the financial markets;
• Equalising the competitive environment for the union’s enterprises.
In the past eight years, the EAEU member states have done a lot to eliminate the barriers to the movement of goods, services, capital and labour between the countries of the union. In most sectors, common markets have already been created and are operating successfully. In 2022, three of the 11 listed barriers were removed, and another four more will be lifted in the near future.
📈 In 2022, the EAEU member states managed to improve the following indicators as compared to 2021:
✅ Agricultural production grew by 9.4 percent and reached 11.5 trillion roubles;
✅ Grain production went up by 27 percent and reached almost 187 million tonnes;
✅ Fixed capital investment increased by 5.3 percent in 9 months, reaching 18.5 trillion roubles;
✅ Mutual trade grew by 10.3 percent;
✅ The number of completed construction projects increased by 5 percent (14.2 trillion roubles).
In 2022, the GDP of the EAEU was 173 trillion roubles.
👉 The EAEU space has all the necessary conditions for stable and comfortable work. After the launch of the common labour market, the residents of the union got the opportunity to travel between the EAEU countries with minimal difficulties; equal employment opportunities were created for all citizens of the member states in the EAEU space.
☝️ In addition, over 75 percent of mutual settlements between the EAEU countries have already been switched to national currencies.

🇷🇺🇺🇳🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC debate “Countering Terrorism and Preventing Violent Extremism Conducive to Terrorism by Strengthening Cooperation between the United Nations and Regional Organizations and Mechanisms”
📍 New York, March 28, 2023
Read in full
💬 We always stand for complete observance of norms and principles of the UN Charter, recognition of the leadership of states and their competent bodies, zero tolerance to any manifestations of terrorism, ensuring inevitability of criminal and legal accountability for terrorists and their accomplices. The UN should continue playing the central and coordinating role in terms of anti-terrorism cooperation given full abidance by the norms and principles of international law.
<...>
Terrorism in the Sahel assumed an avalanche character after the brazen military intervention in Libya by Western states that destabilized the entire region. This had implications even for coastal states of West Africa.
<...>
🤝 Russia supports the initiatives of African countries in the area of combating terrorist threat and manifestations of extremism. We welcome Africa’s measures to establish counter-terrorist cooperation within sub-regional organizations.
<...>
Today the issue of cooperation between Russia and African states was raised again. To this, I must say that Africans have every right to choose whom to partner with and on what conditions. It is failures of Western states that force African countries to turn to those who can make a real contribution to the fight against terrorism on the continent.
<...>
❗️ Russia will keep engaging with reliable partners in Asia, Africa, and Latin America on issues relating to countering terrorism. We remain open to cooperation with all interested stakeholders. We are convinced that the global nature of the problem of terrorism requires coordinated approaches and consolidated efforts of the entire international community.

🔹 FM Sergey #Lavrov’s schedule
🔹 #UkraineCrisis
🔹 NATO and EU military supplies to Ukraine
🔹 Monks of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church evicted from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra
🔹 The recent decisions by the International Criminal Court and questions asked in this connection
🔹 The anniversary of NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia
🔹 Hearings on MH17 plane crash
And much more.

Talking points:
#Ukraine
The decision to evict the monks of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, approved by Ukraine’s political leadership, is the peak of Kiev’s years-long anti-church policy.
These actions violate at least a dozen universally recognised international legal documents on the freedom of belief.
#ICC
The ICC discredited itself long ago. It carries out political orders of its sponsors. It is also clear who these sponsors are. They are the Western countries. This has nothing to do with justice.
Russia does not cooperate with the International Criminal Court, nor will it ever do so, despite calls we are hearing from them.
#DepletedUranium
The UK decision to supply Ukraine with depleted uranium munitions, show that neither Kiev nor its Western handlers are interested in resolving the conflict.
They do not care what their scorched-earth tactics are doing to Ukraine. They’re now turning it into a source of radiation pollution.

#Opinion by Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova
💬 A street sign in Arabic has been installed at the intersection of Linienstraße and Ellerstraße in Düsseldorf. This is a first for Germany. Congratulations. According to the city authorities, the purpose of the innovation is “to underscore the diversity and international flair of Düsseldorf.” More and more refugees from the East are arriving in Germany, many of them driven by the wars unleashed by the West (including Germany). So, the decision to install the sign is quite understandable.
What is unclear is why Berlin has never even reproached its protégés in Kiev for the lack of signs in Russian, considering the “millions of billions” sent to Ukraine, including to promote democracy.
With all due respect to the Arabic language and culture, we note that those Germans, who laid the foundations of modern German identity years ago, did not speak Arabic. Nevertheless, their descendants have found it possible to legalise the Arabic language, out of respect for modern realities.
Now let's compare a few numbers. With Germany’s population of 83 million, Arabic is spoken in 300,000 households; the number of adult native speakers is about 1% of the population. In Ukraine (40 million), more than 37% of the population spoke Russian at home (according to polls that apparently understate the true figure) in 2019. By the way, in 2019, Germans gave more objective data on the linguistic picture in Ukraine: the number of Ukrainian citizens speaking Russian at home was estimated at 44% in a study by the well-regarded Pew Research Centre.
☝️ At the same time, Russian – a language that influenced the identity of the three fraternal East Slavic peoples, which Gogol and Shevchenko used, and that was spoken in Kiev from time immemorial – is a language Ukrainians tried to erase from every aspect of society, with active support from Germans.

The official representative of the UN Secretary General, Farhan Haq, fell into the cauldron:
“Do you think the presence of the US military in Syria is legal or not?
- This is not something we are dealing with now, at this stage. There was a war...
- It seems to me that a foreign presence, a military base of another country on the territory of another state without an invitation - for me, it's just like that.
- Your analytics is your business, but at this stage...
- And what is the difference between the situation in Syria and Ukraine?
- There is no situation in Syria. There is no US military on the territory of Syria. So there are no parallels here...
- Are you sure that there are no American soldiers in Syria?
- I believe that there are military operations going on there, but I am not aware of the presence of the military themselves “on the ground”.
- Okay, five American servicemen were injured in that attack. How could this happen if they are not there? How were they hurt?
- Uh...
- Strange, isn't it?
- Yes…
- So is the American military presence in Syria legal or not, the US base? Should we follow the relevant resolution of the UN Security Council?
- Yes, the relevant resolution really calls for this, and we appeal to all states with a request to respect it. I don't want to comment further now."

'She’s soaked in Nazism. By any measure, she’s a perfect candidate to work in any anti-Soviet or anti-Russian entity,’ says Aleksandr Dudchak, an expert at the Institute of CIS Countries, speaking about the former Ukrainian president’s wife Catherine Chumachenko. Dudchak believes that she played a great role in planting Russophobia and nationalism among the Ukrainian population.
Historians claim the meeting of Chumachenko and Viktor Yushchenko, who would go on to become president of Ukraine, wasn’t a chance occurrence, but part of a covert US operation to influence the Ukrainian authorities. Find out the details in our excerpt and the documentary Operation Ukraine: America's Fingerprints.
