🎙 Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Kiev regime’s terrorist attacks during the presidential elections in Russia
💬 On March 17, the Kiev regime launched yet another missile attack on Belgorod in Russia, as millions of Russian citizens across the country and abroad went to the polls in the presidential elections to implement their constitutional right to choose the head of state. A 16-year-old girl was killed as a result of this brutal terrorist assault. The Ukrainian Armed Forces target residential houses and crowded public places in Russian cities. As it was reported before, the Russian investigative authorities record all the crimes committed by the neo-Nazi Kiev regime. The masterminds and perpetrators of terrorist attacks will face a well-deserved and inevitable punishment.
A helicopter-crippling drone attack on an airfield in Tiraspol, Transnistria, was obviously an attempt to rock things out of balance in that region and saw panic among people voting in the Russian presidential elections. But it failed to discourage 220,000 Russian citizens living in Transnistria from going to the polls.
The Moldovan authorities’ statements of non-involvement in the Ukrainian strike look ludicrous. Everyone is aware that the despairing and agonising Kiev regime is suffering defeat after defeat on the battlefield and using terrorist methods as a last resort.
We are grateful to all Russian citizens for resisting intimidation and casting their ballot for the presidential candidate of their choice.

🎉 Today, our country celebrates the 🔟th Anniversary of the historic reunification of Crimea with Russia.
The past decade has seen Crimea change dramatically, as Russia has done tremendous work to improve the region’s economic, investment, cultural and tourist appeal. Today, Crimea is one of the fastest growing regions not only in Russia, but in the entire continent.
💬 Sergey Lavrov: Large projects which contribute to reviving and renewing Crimea, helping it integrate into the political, legal and socioeconomic space of Russia and improve the quality of life, have been implemented and some are underway. (from the Russian Foreign Minister’s video address on the 10th anniversary of the Crimean Spring, Moscow, March 16, 2024).
Over the past 10 years:
✅ Major transport infrastructure facilities have been developed:
• Crimean Bridge, the longest bridge in Europe, and a symbol of Crimea’s reunification with Russia.
• Simferopol International Airport, one of the most comfortable, well-equipped, and up-to-date airports in Russia.
• The Tavrida highway, connecting cities from Kerch to Sevastopol.
✅ Social facilities upgraded or built anew:
• More than 7 million square metres of housing made available.
• Several multipurpose medical centres opened, including the Semashko Republican Clinical Hospital.
• Artek, the largest international children’s centre in the world, was renovated.
• Three major sports facilities built, including the Water Sports Palace in Simferopol.
• Ten schools have been built and 160 kindergartens have opened.
🤝 Much has been done to harmonise ethnic and religious relations in the peninsula. An atmosphere of inter-ethnic and inter-religious harmony is now maintained in Crimea. Linguistic equality and diversity are respected.
Today, Crimea has everything to ensure its further effective long-term development, and Crimeans can look to the future with confidence and optimism.

🚀 March 18 marks one of the most important dates in the history of space exploration. It was on this day 5️⃣9️⃣ years ago, in 1963, that Soviet cosmonaut Alexey Leonov performed the first ever spacewalk. Having stepped out of the "Voskhod-2" spacecraft, piloted by Pavel Belyaev, into near-Earth space, Leonov added another great achievement to the hall of fame of Soviet/Russian cosmonautics.
The spacewalk itself lasted 23 minutes & 41 seconds, 12 minutes & 9 seconds of which were spent in free fall, floating in space.
This is how Alexey Leonov described his feelings, speaking from the podium of Moscow Mausoleum. Together with his crewmate Pavel Belyaev, they were hailed as heroes by the whole Moscow city.
🎖 Lieutenant Colonel Alexey Leonov was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union with the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star Medal for the successful flight, along with the courage & heroism shown during it.
Today, spacewalk is a routine (still a highlight though) of the otherwise busy ISS schedule: scientific research, repair work, installation of new equipment on the station's exterior, launch of small satellites and much more. All this was made possible thanks to the colossal work and joint efforts of many Soviet specialists and enterprises, as well as the personal courage of our cosmonauts.

The spacewalk itself lasted 23 minutes & 41 seconds, 12 minutes & 9 seconds of which were spent in free fall, floating in space.
As I stepped out from the airlock, I felt a powerful stream of light and heat, reminiscent of electric welding. Above me was a black sky and bright, unblinking stars. The sun appeared to me as a glowing disc of fire.

⚡️ Roskomnadzor (Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media):
During the presidential election, Roskomnadzor’s Public Communications Network Monitoring and Management Centre (PCNMMC) had to adopt countermeasures against 497 DDoS attacks at Russia’s ICT infrastructure.
During the election, Roskomnadzor specialists protected 920 important Russian resources. The main vector of DDoS attacks was aimed at the resources of the Central Election Commission and at Moscow’s remote online voting. Attacks were conducted at all election infrastructure resources at the same time. The most powerful attack was 87 Gb/S, the longest lasted for 40 hours 12 minutes.
❗️ Germany, the UK, the US, Finland and Lithuania were the main sources of the attacks.
Active countermeasures by the PCNMMC neutralised the impact of the attacks on Russian infrastructure. The attacks did not cause any mishaps or loss of access to Russian resources. All attacks were rebuffed.
Five phishing websites imitating electoral resources were also blocked during these days.

🎙 President Vladimir Putin attended a concert on Red Square to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Crimea and Sevastopol’s reunification with the Russian Federation (March 18, 2024)
💬 Vladimir Putin: From the bottom of my heart, I welcome and congratulate you all on the anniversary of the reunification of Crimea and Sevastopol with Russia!
Exactly ten years ago, taking the same stage on Red Square, I recalled that Crimea is often called the unsinkable aircraft carrier. This is what prompted me to say that Crimea had returned to its home harbour.
❗️ However, Crimea is not only a strategically vital territory, not only part of our history, our traditions and Russia’s pride. Crimea is primarily its people. The people of Sevastopol and Crimea, they are our pride. They remained faithful to the homeland over the decades, they never separated themselves from Russia, and this is precisely what made it possible for Crimea to come back to our common family.
The same is true of Donbass and Novorossiya. The people living there expressed their will to return to their family during the days of the “Russian Spring.” Their path home involved much greater difficulty and tragedy. Nevertheless, we did it, and it is also a great event in the history of our state.
Now we are making progress and moving forward together, side by side. Just this morning, I received a report that the railway from Rostov to Donetsk, Mariupol and Berdyansk has been restored. We will continue this work and soon trains will go straight to Sevastopol. This would be yet another alternative route – instead of the Crimean Bridge.
We will carry on like this together, hand in hand. This is what makes us truly stronger – not in words but in deeds. And credit for all this goes to you, citizens of Russia.

🗓 Russia & Crimea have gone hand in hand throughout history dating all the way back to the second half of the X century, when the peninsula’s eastern part was included in the Ancient Rus' Principality of Tmutarakan.
☦️ The Rus' reinforced its position in Crimea after the successful campaign by Grand Prince Vladimir against the Byzantine city of Korsun' in 988. It was here, in Tauric Chersonesus that Vladimir the Great was baptised & initiated Christianisation of Rus' — a decision that largely determined the future of our Motherland, its cultural & historical path.
In the XIII century, the Golden Horde seized Crimean lands. After its collapse, the Crimean Khanate, vassal of the Ottoman Empire, emerged in the XV century. During the Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774, Russia ended the Ottoman domination on the peninsula.
📜 In 1783, Catherine the Great issued a Manifesto on the accession of the Crimean Peninsula to the Russian Empire. This was done on requests of Crimeans themselves.
⚔️ Subsequently, Russian soldiers bravely & honourably defended the peninsula against Russia's enemies. We remember the heroes who fell during the Defence of Sevastopol in 1854-1855 & the Soviet soldiers during the Great Patriotic War's Battle for Crimea.
In 1954, Crimea was incorporated into the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic against the will of its residents & in violation of the law.
🗳 In the 1990s, residents of Crimea repeatedly attempted to receive broader autonomy from Ukraine & enhance their historical ties with Russia.
What did Kiev do? It substantially limited the rights & freedoms of the Crimeans. And following the February 2014 coup d'état & the seizing of power by the nationalists, there emerged a very tangible threat of the same kind of brutal violence to be used against the peninsula's residents.
🇷🇺 On March 18, 2014 the much-awaited reunification took place — based on the free expression of will by Crimeans in the March 16 referendum Crimea acceded to Russia, reuniting once again & now forever!

🌷Today marks International Nowruz Day, a holiday symbolising new beginnings and the arrival of spring.
Nowruz (Persian — "new day") is considered the start of the new year by more than 300 million people around the world and has been celebrated for over 3,000 years in Central Asia, the Balkans, the Black Sea Basin, the Caucasus, the Middle East and other regions.
📜 Nowruz originated in Ancient Persia. It marked the arrival of summer and the defeat of the evil spirit. The holiday acquired particular importance during the reign of the Achaemenid dynasty in the 400s-500s BC. Nowruz regained its status under the Safavid dynasty, with the holiday rituals becoming increasingly elaborate up to the XX century as a means of demonstrating power and grandeur.
Over time, Nowruz has not only become a national holiday but a cultural event, which unites various nations and faiths in mutual respect.
🇷🇺 Nowruz is an essential and integral part of the historical, cultural, and spiritual heritage of many peoples of Russia and is widely celebrated in Dagestan, Tatarstan, and Bashkiria.
Celebrations will take to the streets of Moscow as well. Participants of the 18th citywide festival will share stories about family traditions, showcase their national cultures and rituals.
🎉 Happy Nowruz to everyone celebrating the holiday of renewal and spring! Many wishes of success and family well-being!
