🎙Statement by Russia's Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at Arria-formula meeting of UNSC members "Children and armed conflict: Ukrainian crisis. Evacuating children from conflict zone" (5 April 2023)
Read in full
🔷 The history of Donbass of the past 9 years is a history of human suffering and ruined lives. Every life that has been claimed is an irreparable loss. But when it comes to children, it is a particular tragedy.
🔷 The Alley of Angels, a monument in Donetsk commemorating all children who have been killed, has come to symbolize the sufferings and hardships of the children of Donbas in the recent 9 years.
🔷 Even by the modest estimates by OHCHR, which does not hold the data in its entirety, more than 3,000 civilians, including 152 children died in Donbass from 2014 to December 2021.
🔷 For all those years, Russia has been calling on the global community to pay attention to the lawlessness caused by the Kiev regime.
🔷 In an effort to create false associations with World War II, the West does not shy away from asserting that when we evacuate children, our goal allegedly is to “change the Ukrainian identity”.
🔷 As part of the ongoing propaganda campaign, the fact that in Europe, children are being taken away from the families of Ukrainian refugees is being silenced down. According to various sources, in Germany alone children have been taken away from 80 Ukrainian families.
❗️ Truth is that children were evacuated from the zone of combat which happened through the fault of the criminal Kiev regime. Truth is that for all those 9 years of war in Donbas, no one had any interest in the fate of those children, but instead systematically posed risks to their lives.

Hidden Sanctions Could Spark Global Famine — Russian Grain Union
Grain exporters are being hit by indirect sanctions, with Western businesses unable to provide services critical to the industry, the head of the Russian industry organization has outlined in an interview with RT.
Russian Union of Grain Exporters boss Eduard Zernin explained that even though the foodstuff is exempt from sanctions imposed by Western powers, firms located or registered in those countries were systemically refusing to work with Russian suppliers.
“Among them are banking institutions of this or that country that have been rejecting payments, or vessels flying the flag of this or that country that suddenly stopped entering Russian ports despite all the valid licenses,” Zernin said. “We have seen a wave of individual initiatives, the scale of which was massive.”

On April 4, this year at the InterContinental Hotel in Dhaka, a Memorandum of Understanding was concluded between the Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation and the “National Group LLC” holding. The heads of the organizations – Mr Abdullah Sajjad, ndc, and Mr Sattar Mia respectively put the signatures. This document will enable to resume the export of Bangladeshi potato to Russia.
Hon’ble Minister of Agriculture of Bangladesh Dr. Muhammad Abdur Razzaque, MP, highlighted the favorable conditions in the country for cultivation potato, providing opportunities for export to foreign markets, including Russia. He stated that today, in addition to agriculture, relations between the two countries are developing in a wide range of areas, including energy, transport and defense. Such cooperation, according to him, has been built based on friendly relations since 1971, when the USSR supported Bangladesh in the Liberation War.
H.E. Ambassador of Russia to Bangladesh Mr Alexander Mantytskiy, in his remarks, emphasized the growing demand of the Russian side for the local agricultural products, in particular, for mango and cauliflower. At the same time, he indicated that in 2022 Russia exported 921 thousand tons of wheat to Bangladesh, which accounted for 42% of the national import of this grain crop, as well as 108 thousand tons of legumes and mustard. Besides, since 2014 our country has been one of the largest suppliers of fertilizers to Dhaka.
