🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s response to a media question
❓ What would be your comment regarding the statement released by the Government of Germany on its intention to take a stand against the Republic of South Africa which has instituted proceedings at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of perpetrating genocide against the Arab population in Gaza Strip?
💬 We were not surprised by the German Government’s decision to oppose the Republic of South Africa which has filed a case with the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of subjecting people in Gaza to genocide. This move was predicated on the unfettered support Berlin has always lent to Israel while dismissing any possible consequences. Germany has been asserting its unwavering commitment to this policy for quite a long time as one of the main unspoken tenets of the so-called rules-based order as defined by Washington.
By acting this way, German political elites seem to have caused Israel more harm than good. In the corresponding Government statement, Berlin used language which reads: “in view of Germany’s history and the crime against humanity of the Shoah” – thereby positioning itself as an expert in committing mass atrocities and exterminating people.
It seems that Germany has once again forgotten that under UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/60/7 and several other international instruments, the Holocaust is defined as the persecution and mass extermination of people representing various ethnic and social groups by the Nazis. There is also the OSCE’s Berlin Declaration setting forth the need to promote the importance of respecting all ethnic and religious groups without any distinction.
There have been many historical precedents of criminals perpetrating serious crimes but then mending their ways and using their knowledge about their unlawful practices to prevent similar wrongdoing from happening again. However, this always required effective regret and repentance and an unconditional recognition of one’s guilt without making even the slightest attempt to justify one’s crimes, let alone repeat them <...>
❗️ Just like 80 years ago, Berlin has once again opted for dividing people on ethnic grounds, albeit on a new, more sophisticated level.
Let me give you several examples.
Berlin has persistently refused to pay compensation to people of non-Jewish background who lived in Leningrad during the siege. It believes that Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians, Finno-Ugric people, Armenians, Georgians, Moldovans and many others are not entitled to receive money from the German Government <...>
Germany has surpassed other countries in the European Union in zealously defending the Kiev regime which has made the glorification of Nazi accomplices a key domestic and foreign policy tenet <...>
Berlin persists in its refusal to recognise Nazi crimes against our people as genocide. Russian investigative bodies and courts have compiled a wide body of evidence exposing war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide by the Third Reich troops across various regions of our country.
<...>
☝️ We believe that these and other similar and multiple examples constitute a sufficient body of evidence for Germany to officially recognise as genocide the crimes committed by the third Reich against our country.
All this leads to the conclusion that in the context of the ongoing proceedings at the International Court of Justice, Berlin decided to single out the Holocaust issue by setting it apart from all other aspects of its guilty historical acts against humanity. Moreover, it refuses to view it in a holistic manner. Instead, Berlin adjusts its perspective as it deems fit to suit its momentary considerations.

❗️ The neo-Nazi regime in Kiev, supported by the United States and its satellites, has committed yet another brutal terrorist act against the civilian population of Russia.
On the morning of January 21, armed units of Bandera’s followers [Stephan Bandera - a Hitlerite crony & WWII war criminal, the idol of the Ukranian neo-Nazis & nationalists aka the banderovites] deliberately targeted a market and shops in Tekstilshchik, a neighbourhood in the Kirovsky District of Donetsk. A total of six artillery rounds were fired at the busiest areas in town causing a large number of casualties. According to reports, at least 27 people were killed and 25 were injured.
Read in full
It was established that the shelling was coming from Avdeyevka, which is still controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and that the types of weapons supplied by the West were used. This is further confirmation of the Western countries’ direct involvement in the conflict, implicating them in the criminal acts committed by the Zelensky regime.
Russia strongly condemns this treacherous attack on civilians. The West’s unrestrained desire to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia using their Ukrainian puppets to do the fighting, thoughtlessly supporting them without any limits, is pushing the Kiev regime to increasingly reckless steps, including terrorist attacks, massive violations of international humanitarian law and war crimes.
☝️ Russia calls on all responsible governments and relevant international agencies to strongly condemn this brutal act of terrorism. Their silence would mean tacit approval of the murder of civilians and encourage Ukrainian neo-Nazis to commit even more terrible atrocities.
The terrorist attacks by the Kiev regime clearly demonstrate that it has no political will for peace and the settlement of the conflict by diplomatic means. No threats to security or acts of terrorism must be coming from the territory of Ukraine.

💬 Anybody who is sincerely interested in justice, including justice being established in the relations between Russia and Ukraine, which would involve, of course, stopping the Western policy of using Ukraine as an instrument of war against Russia, we would be ready to listen.
• We are fighting for our national legitimate interests, for the interests of the security of our country. It’s just on our borders, not as Iraq was announced a threat to the United States, it's 10,000 miles from American shores. <...> In our case, it was not across the ocean, it was just on our borders that NATO military infrastructure was built, aimed at the Russian Federation.
• Whenever you talk to the United States and they mention democracy, you tell them, okay, democracy as you understand is that you dictate to each and every country what kind of political system they must have inside. What about democracy in international relations? They're not interested at all.
• Ukrainian Army with American, French, British, Czech Republic weapons, in the past few weeks continued to deliberately target civilian aims, destroyed dozens of civilian sites, and killed dozens of civilians, including kids and women. <...> I am sure that objective media outlets like CBS would not just leave this unnoticed.
• Unless we insist on the creation of the Palestinian state on the basis of the United Nations decisions, this anger which has been present in Palestinian lives for decades and generation after generation, would reproduce more generations who would feel that they have been abandoned and they have been cheated upon.
• We certainly have to raise our voice not to allow pushing out Palestinians from their land and of course not to allow this land to turn into unlivable space.

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on US and UK illegal actions in the Red Sea
Read in full
💬 The actions taken by the United States, United Kingdom and the so-called coalition in the Red Sea are a crude violation of international law.
Speaking at the January 12 session of the UN Security Council, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya described in detail what these violations were all about.
On January 22, the UN Security Council disseminated the official document of the Russian Federation with comments on the US and UK’s failed attempts to justify armed strikes at Yemen’s territory.
❗️ Under the UN Charter, the use of force on the territory of a sovereign state (Yemen in this case) may be recognised as legal only if it is done (in the exercise of this right of self-defence) in response to the armed aggression against a sovereign state or if the use of force was sanctioned by the UN Security Council.
There is no legal basis to support the US or UK’s declared right to self-defence in the Red Sea. The goals (protection against attacks on civilian vessels and the need to ensure freedom of navigation) <...> do not give them the right to self-defence within the definition of Article 51 of the UN Charter.
<...>
☝️ There are no UN Security Council resolutions giving anyone a mandate to use force in connection with the events in the Red Sea.
<...>
These US and UK actions violate Article 2 of the UN Charter, which obliges UN members to refrain from the use of force against the territorial inviolability of any state.
<...>
The modern-day Anglo-Saxon nations have long developed a habit of violating the UN Charter and the fundamental standards of international law, including the principle of the non-use of force. This is their way of life.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at a UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine
📍 New York, January 22, 2024
Key talking points:
💬 The vast majority of unbiased experts clearly see that the West's continuing support for the Kiev regime is the key factor that is preventing a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine crisis. Support is provided despite its obvious agony and inability to fulfil the goal of inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Russia that was dictated to it by its higher ups, or, as they started saying recently, of at least degrading my country.
• Despite the complete failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the battlefield, the Western patrons of the Kiev regime continue to push it, like maniacs, to continue this meaningless military confrontation.
☝️ We were forced to start the military operation against a criminal regime that went too far, emboldened by impunity, and was unwilling, despite our numerous efforts over many years, to say no to the war against its own citizens in southern and southeastern Ukraine and its policy of total discrimination against Russian-speaking Ukrainians, who are still the majority in that country.
• It is surely time for Europeans – I am addressing sane Europeans – to wake up and understand that with the help of Vladimir Zelensky’s regime, the US is not only waging a war against Russia, but also pursuing the strategic objective of sharply weakening Europe as an economic rival.
• Let me remind you that we have never renounced peaceful methods and have always been ready for negotiations.
❗️ The majority of people in Ukraine are beginning to realise who their real enemy is and who has been misleading them for years by demonising Russia, spreading lies about it, and “cancelling” our shared history.

Today at 11.15 a.m., the Kiev regime carried out a terrorist act, as a result of which an aircraft of the Russian military transport aviation on a flight from Chkalovsky to Belgorod airfield to transport Ukrainian servicemen for exchange, was shot down.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine struck the aircraft from Liptsy (Kharkov region) by a missile of an air defence system.
The Russian Aerospace Forces radar means detected a launch of two missiles.
There were six crew members, 65 Ukrainian POWs on board the aircraft, which transported them for prisoners exchange, and three Russian servicemen, who accompanied the POWs. As a result, the crew and all passengers were killed.
The leadership of Ukraine was well aware that, in accordance with established practice, Ukrainian servicemen were to be transported by military transport aircraft to Belgorod airfield today for exchange.
According to an earlier agreement, the event was to take place in the afternoon at the Kolotilovka checkpoint on the Russian–Ukrainian border.
Nevertheless, the Nazi Kiev regime did that in attempt to put the blame on Russia for killing Ukrainian servicemen.
By committing this terrorist act, the Ukrainian leadership showed its true face: it disregarded the lives of its citizens.

Message by H.E. Ambassador Alexander Mantytskiy, Ambassador of Russia to Bangladesh, on the occasion of the 52nd anniversary of diplomatic relations
🇷🇺🇧🇩 Meaningful interaction between our countries predates the formal establishment of diplomatic ties in January 1972 as the USSR largely supported the Bengali people during the ongoing War for Independence in 1971. Since then, over the span of more than 50 years, our bilateral history has seen many remarkable events and significant achievements.
🤝 Despite the current turbulence in international affairs, fruitful cooperation between Moscow and Dhaka has been developing across many sectors. The year of 2023 saw several milestones: the first ever visit of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to Bangladesh in September, the nuclear fuel delivery ceremony at the Rooppur NPP in October; a goodwill visit of the Russian Pacific Fleet to the port of Chattogram in November. In 2023, Russia's grain export to Bangladesh amounted to 2.7 million tons.
👏 It is my earnest hope that with the newly elected government the ties between Moscow and Dhaka will continue to thrive, bringing peace and prosperity to our peoples.

🇷🇺🇧🇩 25 января исполняется 52 года со дня установления дипломатических отношений между нашей страной и Народной Республикой Бангладеш.
💬 С.В.Лавров: Бангладеш – наш давний и добрый партнёр в Южной Азии. На протяжении более полувека двусторонние отношения основываются на принципах дружбы, равноправия и взаимоуважения (по итогам переговоров в Дакке, 7 сентября 2023 года).
СССР в числе первых признал независимость Бангладеш, поддерживал национально-освободительную борьбу народа этой страны. В 1972-1974 годах Советский Союз оказал молодому государству значительную помощь в восстановлении экономики.
Бангладешцы по сей день хранят память о подвиге советских военных моряков, которые в 1972-1974 годах расчистили акваторию порта Читтагонг от мин и затонувших кораблей.
🤝 На современном этапе двусторонние отношения традиционно характеризуются отсутствием каких-либо противоречий и нерешённых вопросов, значительной общностью подходов к важнейшим внешнеполитическим проблемам, атмосферой взаимопонимания и доброжелательности.
Поддерживается активный политический диалог. В сентябре 2023 года состоялся первый в истории визит главы российского внешнеполитического ведомства в Бангладеш. С.В.Лавров провёл переговоры с Министром иностранных дел А.К.А.Моменом, был принят Премьер-министром Ш.Хасиной.
📈 Бангладеш является крупным торговым партнёром России в Южной Азии. В последние годы товарооборот стабильно превышал 2 млрд долларов.
Реализуются крупные проекты, включая строительство первой в Бангладеш АЭС «Руппур». Профильные ведомства обсуждают практические аспекты налаживания регулярных масштабных поставок в Бангладеш сжиженного природного газа и нефти. Осуществляются поставки пшеницы и удобрений.
Успешно функционирует созданный в 2017 году механизм Межправительственной Российско-Бангладешской комиссии по торгово-экономическому и научно-техническому сотрудничеству.
🎉 Поздравляем бангладешских друзей с годовщиной установления наших дипотношений!

🇷🇺🇧🇩 January 25 marks the 52nd Anniversary of diplomatic relations between our country and the People’s Republic of Bangladesh.
💬 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: Bangladesh has been our long-standing and trusted partner in South Asia. For over half a century, our bilateral relations have been based on the principles of friendship, equality, and mutual respect (news conference following talks in Dhaka, September 7, 2023).
The USSR supported the national liberation struggle of the people of Bangladesh and was among the first countries to recognise the independence of the new state.
Bangladeshis remember the feat of Soviet military sailors, who cleared the waters of the port of Chittagong from mines and sunken ships in 1972-1974.
🤝 Today, we have similar approaches toward most important foreign policy issues, and there are no contradictions and unresolved topics in our relations which are developing in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and amiability.
Russia and Bangladesh maintain a high level of political dialogue. During the working visit to Bangladesh, Russia's Sergey Lavrov held talks with his counterpart A.K.Abdul Momen and was received by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
📈 Bangladesh is Russia’s major trading partner in South Asia, with trade consistently exceeding $2 billion in recent years.
Major economic projects are underway, including the construction of Rooppur, Bangladesh’s first nuclear power plant. Relevant agencies are discussing practical aspects of establishing regular large-scale supplies of liquefied natural gas and oil to Bangladesh. Wheat and fertiliser shipments are being delivered.
🎉 We congratulate our colleagues and friends from Bangladesh on the common anniversary and reaffirm our willingness to continue developing mutually beneficial bilateral cooperation.

What seasonal and permanent research stations does Russia operate in Antarctica?
In January 1820, the first Russian Antarctic expedition on the ships “Vostok” and “Mirny” under the leadership of Faddeus Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev discovered Antarctica.
Currently Russia operates 10 research stations in the South Pole: five year-round facilities and five seasonal stations.

🔹"Mirny" (1956), the first year-round Soviet station in the South Pole. Geological, aerologic, gravimetric and other laboratories were built there, now the station is mostly used for climatological and geophysics research.
🔹"Vostok" (1957) is located at an altitude of 3,500 meters near the south geomagnetic pole of the Earth making it possible for Russian researchers to observe changes in the Earth's magnetosphere.
🔹"Novolazorevskaya" (1961) is located at the southeastern tip of the Schirmacher oasis and on the shores of Lake Stantsionnoye, Queen Maud Land. It hosts an airfield: the runway was built in 1979 to receive Il-76 aircraft.
🔹"Bellingshausen" (1968) is the northernmost Russian Antarctic station providing capabilities for unique geological, glaciological and biological studies.
🔹"Progress" (1988) initially was a seasonal base for geological and geophysical research, while in 2012 a new wintering complex was opened in it. By November 2022, Russia had built a new airfield near the station, that allows Russian expedition staff to reach the Antarctica faster, compared to traveling by ship.

What seasonal and permanent research stations does Russia operate in Antarctica? In January 1820, the first Russian Antarctic expedition on the ships “Vostok” and “Mirny” under the leadership of Faddeus Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev discovered Antarctica.…
Seasonal Stations:
🔸"Molodezhnaya" (1962) had long been considered the capital of Soviet Antarctica. There were about seventy buildings at the base, lined up into streets. Closed in 1999, it was switched to seasonal operations in 2006.
🔸"Leningradskaya" (1971) was used for studies of meteorology, Earth magnetism, oceanology and glaciology. It was closed in 1991, but the works at the station partially resumed after 2008.
🔸"Russkaya" (1980) was opened on March 9, 1980, and was closed in 1990. In 2008, it was reopened for seasonal research. In 2019, a decision was made to switch the station to year-round operation and work is still ongoing to make the necessary modifications.
🔸"Oasis Bangera" (1987) Soviet station was built next to the first station, founded in the Bunger Oasis in 1956. The original station was donated to Poland and renamed as Dobrovolskaya station.
🔸"Druzhnaya-4" (1987) is aimed at ensuring the logistic support to Soyuz Station and the Progress Station. The climatic conditions in the base area are favorable for seasonal work.

Key messages from Sergei Naryshkin, Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), on US attempts to politicize sports
▪️ The US administration is deeply unnerved that their crusade to isolate Russia in high-performance sports is failing.
▪️ International sports federations are expressing their reluctance to align with the US’s position on preventing Russian athletes from participating in competitions.
▪️ Several countries in the Global South are eager to participate in Russia's Games of the Future, BRICS Sports Games, and World Friendship Games.
▪️ To maintain its dominance, the US is ramping up efforts to disrupt sports events organized in Russia.
▪️ The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is seen as crucial in this effort, with its president Witold Banka potentially seeking a lucrative position after his term with WADA ends in 2025.
▪️ Banka unleashed an aggressive campaign to discredit the competitions organized by Russia. This effort also targeted foreign athletes planning to participate in these events, which stoked fears among those athletes about their future careers in Olympic sports potentially being ruined, particularly during the upcoming Summer Games in Paris.
▪️ What's more, Banka's blatantly pro-American activities, which hamper the development of world sports, are increasing becoming an annoyance in professional circles.
