❗️On the Russian Federation’s non-recognition of the outer limits of the unilaterally established US continental shelf
On March 18-29, Kingston (Jamaica) is hosting a session of the Council of the International Seabed Authority (hereinafter referred to as the Authority). In accordance with the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, it is supposed to regulate the activities of states in the deep seabed of areas that are not subject to the national jurisdiction of the coastal states.
During the session, the Russian delegation announced its refusal to recognise the outer limits of the US continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles from the baselines from which the width of the territorial sea is measured in seven areas of the world’s oceans. The US declared this in December 2023. It is unilaterally trying to reduce the area of the seabed under the Authority, and hence the entire international community, and to obtain additional sections of the shelf for its own use (about 1 million square kilometres).
☝️ These unilateral steps by the US do not conform to the rules and procedures established by international law. The Russian delegation criticised the selective approach of the US to the application of international law, focusing on its rights and completely ignoring its obligations, and blocked Washington’s latest attempt to use the 1982 Convention exclusively to advance its own interests.
Earlier, a corresponding demarche was sent to the US through bilateral channels.

This campaign came to be known among Russian historians as the Foreign Campaigns of the Russian Army. Together with its allied armies, namely Prussia, Austria, Sweden, and Great Britain, Russia liberated European countries from the French oppression.
📜 When the Russian Army entered France in December 1813, Emperor Alexander I issued an order. Here’s a quote from it:
Warriors! You have already saved your Motherland and brought it glory, and enabled Europe to recover its liberty and independence. Crowning this feat with the much-desired peace is all that remains.
With Paris seized by the Russians, Napoleon abdicated in Fontainebleau on April 6 under pressure from his marshals, and was exiled to the Island of Elba off the Italian coast.
Russia played an instrumental role in France’s remaining within its pre-war borders, and took French cities under its protection by preventing Prussian and Austrian troops from pillaging them. Following Alexander I’s orders, the Russian troops also ensured that the collections of the Louvre and other French museums, as well as historical monuments, remained intact.
On June 9, 1815, a new European security architecture was established a the Vienna Congress, which became one of the main outcomes of Russia’s Foreign Campaigns.
From Maria Zakharova’s briefing:
We honour the memory of our heroic ancestors, finding strength and inspiration in their valorous deeds. We’d like to advise the contemporary Western leaders and the emerging “Napoleons” who once again harbour intentions of sending troops eastward to remember the lessons of history

⚔️ These day we commemorate the conclusion of the main leg of the Napoleonic Wars: it ended with the triumph of the Russian and allied forces who repelled Napoleon all the way back to France. On March 31, 1814, Russian army led by Emperor Alexander I triumphantly entered Paris.
Russia's goal was to expel the French troops from the countries they had invaded, deprive Napoleon of the opportunity to use their resources, complete the defeat of the aggressor on his own territory and ensure the establishment of a lasting peace in Europe.
The Russian forces seized the French capital, thus winning the final battle of its 1813-1814 foreign campaign. After the fall of Paris Napoleon abdicated the throne.
On May 30, 1814 the Treaty of Paris was signed between the members of the Anti-Napaleonic coalition and France. The Patriotic War was over: Germany was liberated and France was restored to its borders of 1792.
☝️ Russia made the main contribution to the defeat of Napoleon.

We heard from pundits PM Trudeau’s Cabinet has publicly surrendered today. Tried to double-check the recent announcements just in case, since it’s April Fool’s Day. But seems it’s true.
🇨🇦Canada has been the only G7 nation with no school food program. Nearly one in four children in Canada do not get enough food while the Cabinet promises “to open the way” for prosperity for the millions of citizens.
We would invite PM Trudeau, his Deputy and other Cabinet members to 🇷🇺Russia to share our best practices to ensure Canadian children never suffer from hunger. But first, will listen what major political forces in Canada have to say on that.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 On April 2, the peoples of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus celebrate their Day of Unity.
🗓 #OTD in 1996, they signed a treaty on the formation of the Community of Russia and Belarus, which served as the first step towards the creation of the Union State of Russia and Belarus.
The Treaty on the Union of Russia and Belarus came into force a year later, and on December 8, 1999, the Treaty on the Creation of the Union State was signed.
🤝 Today, the Union State implements programmes in industry, energy and IT, to name a few. Trade between Russia and Belarus grows at record high rates every year, given the considerable degree of mutual complementarity of their economies.
💬 Addressing a meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union State on January 29, 2024, President Vladimir Putin said:
☝️ The Unity Day of the Peoples of Russia and Belarus confirms the cohesion of the two fraternal peoples and their striving to continue strengthening their interaction based on the centuries-old traditions of friendship and close cultural and spiritual ties.
📃 On the occasion of the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Russia and Belarus President Vladimir Putin sent his greetings to President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.
🎊 We congratulate our Belarusian friends on a holiday that is a symbol of unbreakable ties of brotherly friendship between our countries and peoples!

We have been working together to build the Union State for almost 25 years. Along this path, we have managed to achieve a great deal. Thanks to the successful implementation of 28 sectoral Union programmes, Russian and Belarusian legislation was harmonised, the legal and organisational foundations for a common economic space formed, and conditions created for the implementation of a unified macroeconomic and monetary policy, and for joint work to minimise damage from illegal Western restrictions.

🇷🇺🇧🇾 President Vladimir Putin sent his greetings to President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko on the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Russia and Belarus.
✉️ Despite challenging international circumstances, significant progress has been made recently in developing the multifaceted ties between Russia and Belarus, and in bolstering the institutions of the Union State.
Good results have stemmed from coordinated efforts in foreign policy, defence, and security. The effective execution of jointly agreed-upon Union programmes has facilitated the harmonisation of legislation in critical sectors between Russia and Belarus, laying the groundwork for unified macroeconomic and monetary policies, as well as the establishment of a common socioeconomic space.
At the January session of the Supreme State Council of the Union State, a new set of measures aimed at fostering integration processes was adopted. I firmly believe that the steadfast execution of these measures aligns with the core interests of both Russians and Belarusians and contributes to strengthening stability and security in the Eurasian space.

💬 Please accept my heartfelt greetings and best wishes on our shared holiday – the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Russia and Belarus.
No heinous terrorist attacks can intimidate or break the spirit of Russians and Belarusians. On this day, we remember and mourn the victims of Nazi henchmen who lost their lives at Khatyn and Krasnogorsk. These shared tragedies only bring us closer together and strengthen our resolve to put an end to the evil stemming from the man-hating ideologies of neo-Nazism and religious extremism.
I am confident that together we will successfully cope with the serious threats and challenges posed by the collective West and its Ukrainian puppets and ensure the safety and prosperity of all Russians and Belarusians. I look forward to the continuation of our traditionally close international coordination between our foreign ministries in line with the Programme of Coordinated Actions for 2024-2026. We remain committed to providing diplomatic support for our multifaceted bilateral cooperation and intense integration processes within the framework of the Union State, the #EAEU, the #CSTO, and the #CIS.
🤝 On this occasion, I would like to wish you good health, happiness, wellbeing and continued professional success.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry Statement in connection with a strike on the Consulate of Iran in Damascus
💬 In the evening of April 1, Israel’s Air Force struck the building of the Consulate of Iran in Damascus. As a result, the building was completely destroyed. A number of people, including diplomats, are reported to have been killed and wounded.
❗️ We resolutely condemn this attack on Iran’s Consulate in Syria.
We consider completely unacceptable any encroachments on the diplomatic and consular buildings, the immunity of which is guaranteed by the Vienna conventions.
We must emphasise that the attack was carried out in a densely populated district, creating high risks of civilian casualties. We believe such aggressive actions by Israel are absolutely unacceptable and must be stopped.
⚠️ We consider it necessary for all responsible members of the international community to announce their clear-cut position and a relevant legal assessment of such actions. We strongly urge the Israeli leadership to give up the practice of provocative power actions on the territory of Syria and other neighbouring countries. This practice is fraught with extremely dangerous consequences for the entire region.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on the occasion of the second anniversary of the staged Bucha massacre
💬 April 3 marks two years since the Zelensky regime and its Western handlers staged a bloody mass murder of the people in the town of Bucha, Kiev Region, allegedly by Russian servicemen, which turned out to be a botched job.
However, following the guidelines provided to them and failing to even make an attempt to double-check the facts and establish the actual state of affairs, Western politicians and the media scrambled to spread this falsehood.
This provocation was a put-up job and a staged provocation which was clear from the onset. The Russian side has refuted these allegations many times. We will now refute them once again. During the time the Russian Armed Forces were in Bucha until March 30, 2022, its residents moved freely around the town and used mobile phones and the internet.
❗️ There were no complaints about the Russian servicemen’s actions during that period, which was publicly confirmed by the mayor of the town, Anatoly Fedoruk, the day after our units left that town.
Moreover, during the time they were in Bucha, Russian servicemen brought 452 tonnes of humanitarian aid for the people in the Kiev Region’s towns and villages.
The first footage showing bodies strewn across the town appeared only after the Ukrainian armed forces and foreign journalists entered the town. Importantly, these were not criminalists or forensic experts, but biased media members, whose role was to tell the public a fabricated story and not to ask unnecessary questions.
🕯 The first findings of the forensic examination of the bodies found in Bucha, which were published in the British The Guardian on April 24, 2022, showed that most of the civilians died as a result of artillery shelling from fragments of anti-personnel 122-mm shells, which fit the D-30 howitzers in service of the Ukrainian forces, which confirms the fact that these people were killed not by bullets from small arms allegedly used by Russian servicemen, but as a result of the Ukrainian army’s artillery strikes targeting Bucha.
The propaganda-driven disinformation campaign in Bucha came as a response to our goodwill gesture to withdraw troops from the Kiev and Chernigov regions which was made in the wake of progress at the Russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul on March 28, 2022. Clearly, the goal of this campaign was to disrupt the dialogue between the parties and to launch a package of pre-arranged Western sanctions on Russia at the behest of London.
Subsequently, Kiev held multiple events inspired by the “Bucha massacre” in order to distract the international community’s attention from its own crimes and inconsistencies of the provocation it had staged, and to spread the fake theory about the town residents allegedly killed by the Russian military among the public in Western countries. This year, the Kiev officials’ attempts to make a big event out of this anniversary have an extra goal of preventing the international community from focusing on the challenging situation in Ukraine and on the line of contact.
Multiple requests that Russia sent to international organisations, including UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk, to establish the circumstances of the incident and to provide an accurate list of the persons whose bodies were found on the streets of Bucha, as well as other information, remain unanswered.
☝️ This shows that the organisers of this heinous act have things to hide.
Once again, we demand that international agencies stop covering up for the Kiev regime and ensure a thorough investigation that will finally reveal the names of the victims, the time and the cause of their death, the signs of the bodies having been moved from one place to another, and the individuals responsible for this terrifying crime by the Kiev authorities.
