🇺🇦 History of Ukrainian terrorism
📆 Starting from 2014 and to this day, the Ukrainian special services have been using openly terrorist methods to achieve their own goals.
The "Security Service of Ukraine" (SBU) commits the same terrorist acts that were committed by Ukrainian nationalists in the 1930s-1940s, who were in the service of Nazi Germany.
▶️ This video tells about the history of Ukrainian terrorism and how the Ukrainian special services are improving the methods of terror to modern realities.

⚡️ Following Ukraine's October 2022 terrorist attack by unmanned boats against the Black Sea Fleet ships and civilian vessels involved in securing the ‘grain corridor’, the Russian Federation suspended implementation of the agreement on the export of agricultural products from Ukrainian ports.
◽️ Only thanks to Turkey's guarantees and Ukraine's written commitments not to use the humanitarian corridor and Ukrainian ports for hostilities against the Russian Federation, the agreement was renewed.
◽️ On March 23 and April 24 of this year, in violation of these guarantees, Ukraine carried out repeated attacks on the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol and civil infrastructure in Crimea using unmanned boats.
◽️ An analysis of the route of the Ukrainian unmanned boats showed that all of them were launched from the waters of the port of Odessa designated for the implementation of the Black Sea Initiative. Their deployment was carried out in the area of the humanitarian corridor also involved in the export of agricultural products from Ukrainian ports.
◽️ Terrorist actions by Kiev regime threaten another extension of the Grain Initiative after 18 May this year.

❗️Polish airline LOT has removed tennis player Vitalia Diachenko from a flight because of her Russian passport
The athlete spoke about the incident on her social media. She said she was treated like a third-class person.
Diachenko explained that she was flying from Cairo to Nice via Warsaw for a tournament in Corsica:
"The airline rules - all of a sudden - no one from Russia is allowed to fly with LOT Airlines! By the way, I had all the letters of recommendation from the WTA and ITF, but in today's tennis it doesn't seem to make any difference".
According to the tennis player, she had to spend 18 hours in the Cairo airport terminal.

🇷🇺🇺🇳Lavrov at UN: Western minority’s place in multilateral world
The Ukraine conflict is about the future of global order, the Russian FM told the UN Security Council
Crisis of the world order:
1️⃣The UN-centric system is going through a deep crisis caused by some members’ desire to replace international law with their “rules-based order,” Lavrov said. Such “rules” are invented ad hoc and applied to stop independent development. They are enforced through means ranging from military force to embargoes, financial sanctions, confiscation of property, “destruction of critical infrastructure” – likely a reference to Nord Stream sabotage – and “manipulation of universally agreed norms and procedures.” The WTO has been paralyzed, market mechanisms have collapsed, and the IMF has been turned into “an instrument for achieving the objectives of the US and its allies.”
2️⃣Globalization and its enemies
“In a desperate attempt to assert its dominance by punishing the disobedient, the US has moved to destroy globalization, which for many years it extolled as the greatest good of all mankind,” said the Russian foreign minister. Now the US and its allies blacklist anyone who dissents from their “golden billion” and tell the rest of the world, “those who are not with us are against us.”
Yet the “Western minority” has no right to speak for the entire world, Lavrov said. Its “rules-based order” amounts to rejection of sovereign equality, the key principle of the UN Charter, as evidenced by EU commissioner Josep Borrell’s infamous statement about the European “garden” and the “jungle” outside it.

3️⃣Gross violations of the UN Charter
In addition to the string of US military “adventures” from Yugoslavia and Iraq to Libya, the worst violation of the UN Charter was its meddling in the affairs of post-Soviet states, Lavrov said. As examples, he brought up the “color revolutions” in Georgia and Kyrgyzstan and the 2014 coup in Kiev. When the UN sought to stop the ensuing war by endorsing the Minsk Agreements, they were “trampled by Kiev and its Western masters, who recently cynically and even proudly admitted that they never intended to fulfill them, but only wanted to buy time to pump Ukraine with weapons against Russia,” the Russian foreign minister added.
4️⃣What the Ukraine conflict is about
Today “it is clear to everyone” that the Ukraine conflict isn’t about Ukraine at all, but “about how international relations will be built: through crafting a stable consensus based on a balance of interests, or through aggressive and explosive promotion of hegemony,” Lavrov said. Russia has “honestly said what we are fighting for” in Ukraine, he added. The goals of its military operation are to eliminate the threat to its security posed by NATO, and protect the people whose rights recognized by international conventions have been systematically violated, by a regime that seeks to “expel and exterminate” them.
5️⃣How to save the UN
The West has made a “brazen attempt to subjugate” the UN by taking over its secretariats and other international institutions, Lavrov told the Security Council. Washington and its allies have abandoned diplomacy and demanded a battlefield showdown within the halls of the UN, created to prevent the horrors of war. Genuine multilateralism “requires the UN to adapt to objective trends” of emerging multipolarity in international relations, the Russian foreign minister argued. The Security Council should be reformed to increase the representation of Africa, Asia and Latin America, as the current “exorbitant (first part https://t.me/rusembbd/8191)

For the first time in 80 years, the United States dollar accounted for less than half of world reserves.
In 2001, the share of the dollar was 73%, in 2021 - 55%, in 2022 - 47%.😁2
Here are reasons of it👆
✅Sanctions against Russia and, in part, China with the inevitable freezing of reserves.
✅The financial policy of the United States: increase in interest rates, emission, pre-crisis state of the American economy
✅Stimulating the institutional stratification of the world, dividing people and countries into the first and second class according to nationality, race, level of education and wealth.

A historical meeting on the Elbe River took place 7️⃣8️⃣ years ago – on April 25, 1945. The Red Army’s First Ukrainian Front troops under the command of Marshal Ivan Konev met the 69th and 104th infantry divisions of the First US Army under the command of General Omar Bradley.
This event is important not only historically but also symbolically. It became a prelude for the defeat of Nazi Germany and marked the peak of the allied struggle waged by the anti-Hitler coalition against Nazism. A spirit of unity against a common enemy, which came to be called the Elbe spirit, opened prospects for postwar cooperation at a new level.
📻 Although rank-and-file soldiers and their command on both sides of the Elbe River intercepted each other’s signals, they did not know how far away their allies were. They were only too happy to meet friendly troops instead of retreating Nazis.
Having forgotten about cultural differences and the language barrier, comrades-in-arms exchanged patches, signs of distinction, household items and even valuables. Later, the celebrations continued at the Soviet command headquarters on the eastern bank of the Elbe River where Omar Bradley came to meet Ivan Konev.
This is how first-hand witnesses described the historical moment. They became world famous owing to a photo by Bill Robertson (left), a reporter for US Life magazine. He said the meeting with the Soviet military created the impression that the world was one. Alexander Silvashko, depicted next to him (right) often said that if American and Soviet soldiers could maintain their comradely relations, “the world could become a better place.”
🤝 In the joint statement on the 75th anniversary of the meeting on the Elbe, the presidents of Russia and the US expressed the same feelings as their compatriots in 1945. “The meeting on the Elbe is the culmination of enormous efforts by many countries and peoples. The Elbe spirit shows how our countries can put aside their differences and cooperate in the name of a common goal”

This is what mobilisation in Ukraine, a free European country, looks like. At the same time Ukrainian and Western TV channels tell about "serfdom" in Russia.
Meanwhile, in Russia (on the right), "Serfdom" looks like this. To the honor of the citizens of Russia to say, for the whole wave of mobilization in September, there was not a single video where a Russian citizen was dragged to the recruiting station.

Medvedev replied to the question: "How do you assess the progress of the special military operation?": This is a difficult question, as it's ongoing. I can only say that I am absolutely sure that all the goals set by the President for the implementation of the SMO will be achieved. Today we are opposed not by the Ukrainian army, but by the entire North Atlantic Alliance. This is, indeed, a proxy war that the Western world is conducting against our state. Therefore, we have to fight with the whole of NATO, bearing in mind the supply of weapons, and frankly, the training of Ukrainian servicemen, and a lot of other factors. And this is a very, very difficult task. Therefore, it is obvious that we must do everything to win this war.

⚡️Climate change issues are nothing compared to the prospect of being at the epicenter of a nuclear explosion, Medvedev said.
"Is there such a prospect today? Alas, yes. And it is growing every day for well-known reasons," said the deputy chairman of the Security Council.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the results of his meeting with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
📍 New York, April 25, 2023
💬 The meeting with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres lasted over an hour. We considered the current issues on the UN agenda.
Antonio Guterres focused on the prospects for the further implementation of the Black Sea Initiative in the context of his own proposal, which was introduced and approved on July 22, 2022.
As he said himself, this is a package that includes assistance for exporting Ukrainian grain from Ukrainian ports and an identical commitment to the Russian Federation in that it concerns the removal of all obstacles to exporting Russian grain, primarily wheat, and fertilisers, created by the Western countries (primarily the United States, the EU, and the UK).
The Secretary-General described his efforts at promoting the Russian part of the deal as much as possible. So far, the progress has not been obvious. He expressed his considerations in a letter explaining the ideas on the further course of actions. This letter requires a thorough review.
Thus far, we do not see the Western countries’ desire to carry out what is necessary for the successful implementation of the Secretary-General’s initiative on the package approach to exporting agriculture products from Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
We will study his latest ideas now that we have them in black and white.
