Footage of AFU soldiers occupying kindergartens
They use them as barracks or ammunition depots. When the Russian military demolishes this building, because the Ukrainians made it a legitimate military object, the Western media are going to scream about Russian "atrocities".

Key talking points:
• The UN-centric system is undergoing a deep crisis, the root cause of which was brought on by the decision of certain UN members to replace international law and the UN Charter with some “rules-based international order”. <...> Its masterminds haughtily reject the key principle underlying the UN Charter, which is the sovereign equality of states.
• Since World War II, Washington has pulled off dozens of reckless criminal military operations without even trying to secure multilateral legitimacy. Why bother when your “rules” are unbeknownst to everyone.
• Everyone is aware of it, even though not everyone is talking about it openly: the real issue is not about Ukraine, but rather about the future of international relations. Will they be forged on a sustainable consensus, one based on the balance of interests? Or will they be reduced to an aggressive and explosive advancement of hegemony? The Ukraine issue cannot be considered outside its geopolitical context.
• There should be no double standards. Multilateralism and democracy should enjoy respect both within the member countries and in their relations with one another.
• At this juncture, genuine multilateralism requires that the UN adapt to objective developments in the process of forming a multipolar architecture of international relations. It is imperative to expedite Security Council reform by expanding the representation of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
• It is our common duty to preserve the United Nations as the hard-won epitome of multilateralism and coordination of international politics. The key to success lies in working together, renouncing claims on exceptionalism and – I reiterate – showing respect for the sovereign equality of states. This is what we all signed up for when we ratified the UN Charter.

‼️NATO Threatens Regional Peace... in ASIA
China has warned the so-called North Atlantic 'defensive' alliance to back off and not turn the continent into a "geopolitical wrestling ring".
Beijing was responding to NATO opening an office in Tokyo, saying it will undermine peace and stability.
“Asia is an anchor for peace... NATO’s continued eastward foray into the Asia-Pacific and interference in regional affairs will inevitably undermine regional peace... and stoke camp confrontation," Beijing said.

🎖 On May 5, the Foreign Ministry hosted a number of commemorative events devoted to the 78th anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War.
🏵 According to the established tradition, baskets with flowers were laid near the memorial plaques at the ministry’s central building. The plaques bear the names of employees who lost their lives during the war and while performing their official duties, and who fell victim to political reprisals. The ceremony was attended by representatives of the Council of Veterans, the Association of Russian Diplomats, the Council of Young Diplomats, and Foreign Ministry staff, including from its various departments.
Deputy FM Sergey Vershinin and Chairman of the Council of Veterans Valery Morozov addressed those present with welcome remarks from the ministry’s leadership. They highlighted the contribution of the ministry’s employees to the common victory and the importance of countering attempts to falsify the historical truth about World War II.
🏵 Accompanied by the ministry’s employees, representatives from the Council of Veterans laid a wreath and flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier near the Kremlin wall. Deputy FM Alexander Pankin attended the ceremony.
After a three year break, the ministry’s assembly hall hosted a grand meeting at which Deputy FM Sergey Ryabkov gave a speech on behalf of the ministry’s leadership. He emphasised that owing to the courage and valour of Red Army soldiers and the selfless labour of home front workers, our country crushed Hitler’s war machine and saved humanity from Nazi insanity.
“We look to the achievements of the soldiers-liberators in our current struggle for truth and justice, for a free future, and against Western attempts to weaken Russia as much as possible and inflict a strategic defeat on us,” he said.
☝️ He emphasised the efforts of veterans to preserve the best traditions of Smolensky Square and pass on their priceless professional experience to the young diplomats.
