💬 President Putin: The world entered a time of turbulence. It is undergoing drastic transformation. The underlying change is that the former unipolar world system is being replaced by a new, more just multipolar world order.
We pursue an independent, consistent, and principled foreign policy, and we are open to constructive partnerships with all countries without exception, and do not accept bloc confrontation or any steps that run counter to the UN Charter.
We expect that all our international partners will adhere to the principles of equality and mutual respect for each other’s interests.
👉 Next year, Russia will have a number of important foreign policy functions. We will be the first to chair the expanded BRICS association. And we will do our best to help the new members smoothly integrate into the activities of this organisation.
👉 Next year, Russia will also chair the Commonwealth of Independent States – our closest natural partners. And we aim to contribute to building up diverse interaction between them.
👉 We will also further develop integration processes in the Eurasian Economic Union and deepen cooperation within the Collective Security Treaty Organisation.
👉 We will pay special attention to working with our partners in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, which became the institutional pillar of Greater Eurasia after India, Pakistan and Iran joined the organisation.

🗓 On December 5, 1941, during the Battle of Moscow, the Red Army launched a counter-offensive, which marked the beginning of the turning point in the Great Patriotic War.
By December 1941, the defenders of Moscow had stopped the Nazis movement towards the city, seizing the strategic initiative.
Considerable forces were deployed along the frontline, including about 1.1 million soldiers, over 750,000 guns, 774 tanks and 1,000 aircraft.
🌟 During 11 days of fighting, the Red Army crushed the main attack force of the Army Group Center and all along the contact line, moved 65 to 120 kilometres behind the enemy lines, having pushed the Hitlerites 150-400 km back from Moscow by April 20, 1942. The Moscow, Tula and Ryazan regions, as well as many districts in the Kalinin and Smolensk regions were liberated from the enemy.
❗️ During the Moscow counter-offensive the Soviet soldiers managed to dispel the myth about the invincibility of the Wehrmacht, having made it forget about the blitzkrieg for good. It was near Moscow that Hitler suffered his first major defeat during WWII.
As a result of the Soviet soldiers’ action, the enemy’s casualties, including German servicemen who were killed, wounded and missing, exceeded 500,000, while 1,300 tanks and 2,500 guns were destroyed.
☝️ The Battle of Moscow was of great international significance. The defeat of the Nazi invaders helped cement the anti-Hitler coalition and forced the Japanese and Turkish governments to refrain from entering the war on Germany’s side.
💬 Soviet Marshal and four-time Hero of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov:
🎖 Approximately 1 million defenders of Moscow were awarded the Medal for the Defence of Moscow and 110 people were awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union. In May 1965, Moscow was awarded the honorary title Hero City.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during the meeting of Foreign Ministers of Caspian Littoral States (Moscow, December 5, 2023)
💬 Since the Caspian region was established in its present form, nine meetings between foreign ministers have already been held. We are united in our belief that this format is becoming increasingly popular and will continue to do so. This can be explained by the fact that the work in this format makes it possible to find key solutions to regional cooperation problems.
It is significant that the Caspian theme is a priority for all of us; it is regularly discussed by the presidents and heads of state of the five Caspian nations. <...>
Today’s meeting is special. We are launching a new regular ministerial dialogue that will work as part of the mandate agreed upon at the Ashgabat summit. It involves discussing the development of pentalateral cooperation, improvement of its formats, development of agreed measures to implement the decisions of the summits, and preparation of their agenda and final documents. <...>
I would like to note the enormous development potential of our region in the trade, economic, environmental, scientific, cultural, transport and transit spheres. It is of strategic importance considering the creation of the International North-South Transport Corridor.
🤝 Deepening practical cooperation between the Caspian states is also relevant in a broader sense: in the context of forming a multipolar world order and strengthening the positions of new centres of world development. The joint work of the Caspian countries makes a significant contribution to ensuring security, stability and sustainable development in the Eurasian continent.

🇷🇺🇮🇷 The Russian Federation and The Islamic Republic of Iran <...> declare the following guidelines on the ways and means to counter, mitigate and redress the adverse impacts of unilateral coercive measures:
• Recourse of any State to unilateral coercive measures is unlawful, contrary to the Charter of the United Nations and international law and will entail international responsibility.
• Unilateral coercive measures, including those of extraterritorial nature, implemented by the third State, group or association of States in violation of the UN Charter and international law should not be recognized and implemented.

• A road map should be drawn up by States to reduce the dependency of international trade on national currencies that are prone to being used to implement unilateral coercive measures or to sustain a particular State's monetary hegemony over the global economy.

2. Measures to limit global supply, esp. against such major producers as 🇷🇺 => skyrocketing prices

🇷🇺🇦🇪 President Vladimir Putin held talks with President of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi.
💬 Vladimir Putin: First of all, I would like to thank you for inviting us and for this colourful and friendly welcome.
Today, our relations – thanks to the position you have taken – have reached unprecedented heights. You and I are in constant contact, and our colleagues work together on a permanent basis.
The United Arab Emirates is Russia’s main trade partner in the Arab world.
✅ Last year, trade grew by 67.7 percent. This year, I think, the figures will be even higher. The same goes for investment activity.
✅ There is also progress in industrial cooperation. A number of major oil and gas projects are being implemented.
✅ Tourist exchanges are making headway.
🌐 We also cooperate internationally. As a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, the United Arab Emirates makes a huge contribution to stabilising the situation in the world.
I am quite pleased that the United Arab Emirates is beginning to work within #BRICS. In 2024, Russia will chair this organisation. We will continue contacts on this. We look forward to meeting you at the [BRICS] Summit in Kazan in October 2024.

💬 Vladimir Putin: We expected to see you in Moscow. I know that the circumstances have affected these plans. But, as I said, nothing can prevent the development of our friendly relations. <...> The next meeting will hopefully take place in Moscow.
The Soviet Union was among the first to recognise the independent state of Saudi Arabia. This was almost a hundred years ago.
🤝 Much has happened in our relations during this time, but over the past seven years, they have certainly reached a truly unprecedented level.
We have stable, very good ties in political interaction, the economy and in humanitarian area.
