🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question about US Congress approving financial aid to Ukraine
❓ What can you say about US Congress voting to allocate funds to Ukraine and other US clients?
💬 We have no interest whatsoever in the noise coming from the House of Representatives over approving aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, which goes hand in hand with the tug-of-war between the White House and the Republicans who, with the upcoming presidential campaign in mind, were also pushing for funding the efforts to put an end to illegal border crossings from Mexico.
One thing is clear: regardless of their party affiliation, the US ruling elites are willing to flood the Kiev regime with weapons for it to continue to fight to the last Ukrainian and to continue, among other things, to carry out terrorist attacks targeting civilian sites in Russia, to perpetrate acts of sabotage, and to kill journalists. For this purpose, Washington is resorting to the trivial theft of frozen Russian assets, for which Congress has given the green light to the Biden administration.
Interestingly, amid these internal squabbles, the White House is no longer banking on an ephemeral victory by the Kiev regime under its control. All it wants is for the Ukrainian armed forces to hold out at least until the November voting without damaging Biden’s image. Actually, this is why the agony of Zelensky and his inner circle is being dragged out, and ordinary Ukrainians are being forcibly driven to slaughter as cannon fodder. The Republicans who are lobbying the interests of the US defence industry, which will receive the bulk of allocations to Ukraine, have a stake in this as well.
Considering this, we confirm that Washington’s actions as an active party to the conflict will be rebuffed unconditionally and decisively, and its increasingly deeper plunge into the hybrid war against Russia will end up in a fiasco for the United States as scandalous and humiliating as in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Operation Ukraine: Bandera's Dark Shadow — an RT Doc Film.
Synopsis: In today's Ukraine, that of the Kiev regime and Neo-Nazis, Stepan Bandera is a national hero. That was far from the case, his name loathed and crimes denounced. Yet those who came into power following the violent 2014 coup rename streets after him, organize processions in his honor, teach false historic narratives to kids in school, glorifying Nazism and banderovites.
Bandera is for certain far from a decent role model. As a young man, Bandera trained his will and ruthlessness through sadistic acts towards defenceless animals. In his early youth he joined the Ukrainian nationalists' underground terrorist organisation, the OUN, and ended up controlling the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).
Together with his followers, Bandera collaborated with the Nazis and was responsible for the genocide of Polish and Jewish civilians during WWII.
Historian of Secret services Nikolay Dolgopolov:
The documentary explains why Bandera’s atrocities are disregarded in modern Ukraine. It also tracks the way Hitler's collaborator was elevated to the rank of national hero by the Ukrainian authorities. As well as highlights the West's involvement in supporting, supplying and financing the Banderovites throughout the decades, nourishing the rise of the modern Ukrainian Neo-Nazism.

This is believed to be one of the most brutal episodes of extermination of Jews during the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union. It was done by the very same OUN advance units that marched along with the German Wehrmacht

🎙 Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the murder of Russian military correspondent Semyon Yeryomin
On April 19, Izvestia’s military correspondent Semyon Yeryomin perished in a well-aimed drone attack in the Zaporozhye Region. The attack was launched by armed units of the Kiev regime, while he was performing his professional duty.
He died from wounds inflicted by an artillery shell dropped from a Ukrainian drone in a second deliberate attempt on his life.
❗️ We regard this premeditated and coldblooded murder as yet another confirmation exposing the ugly, terrorist nature of the Zelensky regime, which has declared open season on Russian media persons, military correspondents and public figures, whose reports, comments and publications reveal the truth to the international community and furnish undeniable evidence of crimes committed by the Kiev regime’s thugs.
It was Semyon Yeryomin who published documentary evidence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine designating Russian frontline correspondents as priority targets for annihilation.
The murder of Semyon Yeryomin, this bloody crime, cannot be seen as anything other than an act of vengeance for his honest performance of his journalistic duty.
We urge the related international organisations and human rights bodies to immediately and resolutely denounce yet another cruel murder of a Russian journalist. By their habitual silence, they are encouraging the Kiev clique to new, ever more horrible terrorist attacks against media representatives, something that makes them accomplices in these crimes.
☝️ Double standards are totally unacceptable in a situation involving the media rights and efforts to create a safe environment for media professionals.

With obsessive cruelty, fighters from the Ukrainian Armed Forces hunt down the medical workers who are helping the victims of shelling attacks and target them in an attempt to destroy them and prevent them from saving civilians.
Hospitals, outpatient clinics, rural health posts and other medical buildings in the DPR and LPR, as well as the Belgorod, Bryansk, Zaporozhye, Kursk, and Kherson regions, regularly come under fire from neo-Nazis.
☝️ We are not going to leave the above crimes unpunished. The perpetrators will be identified and held accountable to the full extent of the law.
#France #NATO #Sovereignty
Reports from the French Armed Forces General Staff on handing over the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier and its escort combat vessels under NATO’s operations command for the naval drills in the Mediterranean <...> is yet another clear indication that France’s national sovereignty is being progressively eroded in its most important and sensitive dimension, which is nuclear deterrence.
❗️ This and similar decisions made by Paris convince us once again that, when discussing the crisis in European security and the problem of global security, strategic stability and arms control, France’s nuclear arsenal must be considered as one with that of the United States and Great Britain.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the 42nd meeting of the Council of the Heads of Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Moscow, April 22, 2024)
💬 Today’s agenda focuses on promoting inter-regional cooperation between constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China.
🔹Russian-Chinese relations of comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction continue developing in a dynamic and all-round manner and demonstrate high durability and an ability to adapt to the changing international realities.
🔹A highly important part of strategic partnership, hinges on coinciding or largely similar positions of our countries on key issues of the international agenda. Work is underway to merge the integration potentials of the EAEU and China’s Belt and Road Initiative, including in the context of implementing the initiative of President Vladimir Putin to forge a Greater Eurasian Partnership.
🔹 Russia-China trade and economic cooperation is developing actively, despite persistent attempts by the collective West states to hamper this process. Bilateral economic ties have become virtually de-dollarised. Today, national currencies account for over 90 percent of mutual payments and settlements.
🔹 Interregional cooperation traditionally remains an important component of consolidating the diverse complex of our relations. Following the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions in 2023, the Russian Federation’s territories and China’s provinces greatly expanded the volume of their exchanges.
🔹 Forty-three Russian regions and Chinese provinces and autonomous regions have signed 117 cooperation agreements in various fields. Russian municipalities have signed 313 twin city agreements with their Chinese partners.
🔹 We believe the potential of the interregional interaction is far from being exhausted. Broad opportunities for its further development open up in new international realities.

📹 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s video address to participants in the Moscow Nonproliferation Conference
Key talking points:
• The arms control, disarmament and nonproliferation system crisis reflects unprecedented degradation in the sphere of international security.
• The West is balancing on the dangerous edge of a direct military confrontation between nuclear powers, which could have catastrophic consequences.
• The US-led collective West is cynically complementing the deliberate destruction of balanced and equal agreements that do not suit Washington with the promotion of apparently dishonest schemes that would create advantages for the United States.
• Striving to attain decisive military superiority, Washington and its allies are enlarging the network of alliances directed against other countries. They are working energetically to implement a number of highly destabilising military-technical programmes.
• There is no basis whatsoever for an arms control and strategic stability dialogue with the United States in the face of a total hybrid war being waged against our country.
• Moves to undermine the existing arms control and non-proliferation system are affecting the stability of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. <...> The Western countries have used the treaty for years to address political agendas unrelated to nuclear non-proliferation.
• The attempts of the Western countries to tailor the OPCW to their vested interests are a source of serious concern. The Western states have already turned this prestigious and strictly technical international agency into an instrument for implementing their geopolitical interests in the Middle East and beyond by privatising the OPCW Secretariat.
• We are convinced that to prevent further degradation of the world situation <...> all countries should pool their efforts to upgrade the international security system relying on the principles of multilateralism, equality and indivisibility.

New centres of power have emerged, including such structures as BRICS, the SCO, CELAC and the African Union. There is no doubt that the days of colonialism and neocolonialism are passing away.
Latin America and the Caribbean will become one of the major centres of a multipolar international order. We consider this a sound trend. CELAC’s return to its identity is a good sign.

Russia’s MFA Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova:
💬 Yesterday we paid our last respects to Semyon Yeryomin, a frontline correspondent with Izvestia newspaper, who was deliberately and cold-bloodedly bombed by Ukrainian forces using drones, despite the white “press” markings on his helmet or, most likely he was targeted precisely because they saw these markings. Many military correspondents have noted that various symbols used worldwide to identify journalists make them easy targets for the Kiev regime and its adepts.
I have a question for those international officials whose duty it is to hold the Ukrainian butchers accountable for their descent into inhumanity.
I have a question for Audrey Azoulay, the Director-General of UNESCO, one of whose core missions is to respond to attacks on and the murder of members of the press, regardless of their nationality, ethnic background or professional affiliation. Russia marked the 70th anniversary of its accession to UNESCO the day before yesterday. Ms Azoulay probably did not want to darken the celebration with the grim news. However, a day has passed, and then another, yet the head of the world’s largest educational and cultural organisation has not expressed her views on the merciless shedding of blood by the Kiev criminals and murderers. Similarly, there was no reaction when other journalists, frontline correspondents and members of the press were killed by the neo-Nazis and their agents.
Many nice words regarding UNESCO were voiced the day before yesterday, but they mainly referred to its past deeds and achievements. Its current actions, or rather the chronic and deliberate inaction of its leadership, are devaluing its achievements and undermining its prestige. How can UNESCO remain a global reference point in the field of ethics and humanitarian standards when its head is displaying callousness and a lack of elementary empathy, let alone objectivity and impartiality, due to political bias?
Where are all those who have worked for years to ensure that the UN Security Council adopts resolutions on the safety of journalists? Where is the OSCE?
At the very least, these organisations, which are funded by member states’ contributions, are neglecting their direct responsibilities. This has no connection to the United States, but I will address that later.
