🇷🇺🇺🇳 President of Russia Vladimir Putin held a meeting with Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres in the Kremlin.
📍 Moscow, April 26, 2022
💬 President Putin:
🔸As one of the founders of the United Nations and a permanent member of the UN Security Council, Russia has always supported this universal organisation.
🔸 I know about your concern over Russia’s military operation in Donbass, in Ukraine. I think this will be the focus of our conversation today. I would just like to note in this context that the entire problem emerged after a coup d’état staged in Ukraine in 2014. This is an obvious fact.
🔸 You say that Russia’s humanitarian corridors are ineffective. Mr Secretary-General, you have been misled: these corridors are effective. Over 100,000 people, 130,000–140,000, if I remember correctly, have left Mariupol with our assistance, and they are free to go where they want, to Russia or Ukraine.

Just a few days ago, the former US defence, intelligence and security officials (once served, always serving, as the saying goes) called on the US legislators not to hamper the omnipotent IT corporations. In an open letter, they called on Congress to refrain from passing legislation that would limit Google, Meta and the like in their digital dictate.
Their rationale is quite straightforward: “A battle brewing between authoritarianism and democracy.” Authoritarianism, meaning, among others, Russia, uses cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns to bring about a change in the global order. At the same time, democracy, meaning the US, together with the champions of free speech embodied by US technology platforms “have given the world the chance to see the real story of the Russian military’s horrific human rights abuses in Ukraine.” They recommend a traditional set of methods: censorship and digital reprisals. It turns out that the intelligence community believes that you can build democracy and achieve free speech by silencing all those who disagree and by deleting from the information space everything at odds with what is being imposed from above, including by the intelligence community they represent.
There is no need to search for any further evidence on who was behind Facebook’s decision not to delete extremist materials targeting Russians.
It has to be noted that the ranks of the national security champions include prominent members of the US establishment, including high-profile figures like former Secretary of Defence and former CIA Director, as well as member of the Oracle board Leon E. Panetta, former Assistant to the President for Counterterrorism and Homeland Security Frances F. Townsend, former Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper, former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh C. Johnson, and several other equally notorious figures.
You may ask what do the representatives of the US security and intelligence community have to do with all this? Why have they decided to take a stand on such a hot topic?
Let me explain.
Just like all other representatives of the American “deep state,” they have been successful not only in their public offices, but also in the private sector. Many of them own stock in major corporations or sit on their boards, including in the IT industry. This is how the US government, the defence, intelligence and security apparatus, corporations and major media holdings came to form a single whole. This makes it virtually impossible to understand where free speech begins and where it ends. Most importantly, this is what they refer to as democracy.
By the way, Frances F. Townsend and James R. Clapper used to work for CNN and CBS. This explains a lot.
Apart from their similar career patterns, what the intelligence community members share in common is a keen focus on our country. They all went to great lengths to spread fakes on what they misrepresented as Russia’s meddling in the US election. Panetta and Clapper went as far as become the central figures on the Advisory Board of the Committee to Investigate Russia, a nonprofit resource.
Some members of the US security establishment just cannot get over their fixation on taking Russia out. This is merely a pretext, a veil for ensuring that technology monopolies retain their unchallenged sway over the public opinion in the United States and around the world. The vociferous and at times appealing slogans about democracy conceal pragmatic and cynical calculations.
It is at this particular point in history that Elon Musk went shopping online…

Information bomb 💣
During the recent G7 and G20 finance ministers’ meetings, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland pushed for the exclusion of Russia from global financial institutions and international organisations.
At the same time, Ottawa stepped up its arms deliveries to Ukraine, including the Carl-Gustaf recoilless rifles, used by the Canadian armed forces.
All this is presented as a response to alleged new evidence of atrocities perpetrated by the Russian military. Speaking ahead of the G20 meeting, Chrystia Freeland said: “War crimes have been committed in Ukraine. The evidence that we've seen … is absolutely horrifying.”
This would have looked like a piece of clumsy fake news, if it were not a bloody re-enactment of what happened during World War II.
Eighty years before Bucha, Krakivs'ki Visti – a major Ukrainian-language newspaper in Poland, censored and managed as it was by the Third Reich, published an article on NKVD killers torturing people to death and leaving them lying on Lvov’s streets after the Red Army withdrew from the city (Krakivs'ki Visti, July 6, 1941). The article placed special emphasis on the ethnicity of the victims. On July 8, 1941, it reported that the Bolsheviks executed 1,500 ethnic Ukrainians in Lutsk by firing at them with machine guns. The Nazi Reich accused the internationalist Soviet Union of genocide.
The Krakivs'ki Visti newspaper was well aware of its role in history. In the Ukrainian context, it spread Nazi Germany’s propaganda around the world. This is what we read in black and white on the front page of its July 6, 1941 edition, in an article titled “Winning instead of crying” (B. Khalit): “Regarding this awful disaster [the pogroms], on the plus side there is the fact that the entire world has learned about these horrible pogroms. Losing tens of thousands of responsible, proactive citizen is very painful. They cannot be replaced. The impact that these pogroms had on propaganda pales in comparison with the losses. However, since these people died simply for being responsible Ukrainians and loving Ukraine more than anything else, we must make sure that did not spill their blood in vain; we must use it to do good… We must use is as moral capital for our people… We now have this opportunity, and a sad one at that, but still an opportunity which we must not miss. The Jewish mafia in all its incarnations, from communist to Masonic, has long removed the word ‘Ukraine’ from the press or done everything possible to denigrate it. This is why, when the name of our nation once again makes headlines in major titles, we cannot miss this opportunity no matter how tragic its context.”
What a flashback! We are witnessing the very same situation right now.
Once again, Ukraine makes headlines, while we face groundless accusations of seeking to “cancel” Ukraine just as they cancel everything Russian. Once again, the Nazis use propaganda and a tragedy to denigrate Russia. Once again, they use this as an “opportunity, no matter how tragic.” They have not produced any evidence, hoping that eliciting an emotional response will suffice. Once again, people’s lives become the collateral damage in the propaganda games to win over public opinion. This is what Nazis always do.
Now for the most important part.
As a major Ukrainian-language Nazi propaganda tool, the Krakivs'ki Visti newspaper had Mikhailo Khomyak, a collaborationist journalist from Ukraine, as its editor.
Apart from his criminal record, there is only one notable fact in his biography. Mikhailo Khomyak was the grandfather of Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister.

Kiev-controlled militants in Ukraine torture, rape and murder ethnic Russians, Russian speakers and anyone who doesn’t support the regime.
Ukrainian forces employ human shield tactic, indiscriminately shell residential areas, hospitals, schools, kindergartens. Evidence is online for all who eager to learn the truth.
Kiev regime cynically uses victims’ bodies to stage scenery for photo and media ops and then to blame Russia. Always inquire: Who benefits?
The answer is self-evident: only the criminal anti-national regime in Kiev. Using all disgusting and dirty means to gain compassion, money and weapons from the West.
Western governments and security services are keen in false-flag methods. Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam, Grenada invasion, bombardments of Yugoslavia, “WMD” in Iraq to name a few.
And now, they are concealing from the public and distorting reality about Ukraine’s government atrocities. Narrative is blunt and primitive: blame Russia, whitewash Kiev regime. But truth always surfaces.

In connection with the requests the Foreign Ministry has been receiving from Canadian politicians and public figures interested in Russia’s response to the unprecedented personal sanctions imposed by Ottawa against Russian citizens, the Russian Foreign Ministry has published a list of names of Canadian citizens who are permanently prohibited from entering the Russian Federation on its official website.
Full list of names
We emphasise that on the Russian side, sanctions of this kind are being imposed involuntarily and solely in response to the hostile actions by the Canadian leadership. Russia is striving for mutually respectful and neighbourly relations with the Canadian people, calling on the authorities in Ottawa to abandon the Russophobic policy that limits the country’s independence in foreign policy and runs contrary to its national interests.

▫️To combat them, the commander of the troops of the 1st Belorussian Front, General of the Army Konstantin Rokossovsky, decided to carry out a series of special operations to eliminate them.

Nuclear DisInfo (Read in full)
Mechanisms for information attacks with a new thesis that target the public space have been launched in the West at the highest level in a transboundary and trans-format manner. The premise is primitive and completely horrifying: the Russians are threatening a nuclear war, and the Russians are waving the nuclear stick.
⁉️ Do I even need to say that this thesis is absolutely incorrect and false? Apparently, I do.
They are pushing this exact thesis because it plays on basic human fears, the experience of the older generation, which throughout the second half of the 20th century was bracing for the Third World War against global communism, and Western youth, for which their respective governments have come up with a new mechanism called “cancel culture” (cancelling everything Russian this time). Moreover, the West absolutely does not care what Moscow really says, and the meaning of words is distorted and outwardly perverted.
Let’s consider the specifics.
Two days ago, in his answer to a question by Dimitri Simes during an interview, Sergey Lavrov said literally the following 👉 full quote
What are the takeaways?
1. It was Russia that, with great difficulty, convinced the United States during lengthy talks to reaffirm the Gorbachev-Reagan formula that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.
2. It was Russia that persuaded the group of five nuclear nations to adopt a statement with the same content.
3. There are risks; they should not be blown out of proportion or underestimated.
We did everything possible to prevent a nuclear war, to create all the necessary obstacles on the way to slipping into this scenario (fortunately, they justified themselves during the Cold War and are working today), because we understand the real risks and threats posed by irresponsible behaviour in this area. We cannot allow the very thought of a nuclear war.
Now acting in the worst traditions of disinformation, Western officials are feeding the media, in a coordinated effort, fake news about Moscow’s alleged nuclear threats. The foreign ministries from the NATO countries started convincing the people in their countries that the Russians were “rattling their weapons.”
<...>
Notice how clumsy this was in terms of media work. First, all the put-up quotes against our country were repeated by the journalist, and then they were again mentioned by Ned Price. A presentation designed for a not too sophisticated public. No one even paid attention to what the Foreign Minister said about the risks and Russia’s attempts to prevent the unthinkable.
It’s unthinkable to us, but, mindful of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it is, unfortunately, possible for our colleagues from overseas.
The next day, the media started mass brainwashing. The British tabloids (the Daily Mail and others) and the high-quality analytical US press, French television and German tabloid magazines started talking with one voice that Moscow was threatening with a Third World Nuclear War. And this was already being discussed in Europe; French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said that the Russian Foreign Minister’s words were the “rhetoric of intimidation.”
I would like to ask this Frenchman whether he at least saw what Sergey Lavrov said? We have translated the interview.
Our country is against any nuclear war, and this is exactly what the Russian Minister said, and this is what guides our diplomacy in its work.
Could it be that the Western capitals read the interviews as presented by the Western media? This is the only thing that can justify their words. To avoid that, one should simply DON'T turn off alternative sources of information, and listen to what Russia has to say close to the original text, rather than as interpreted by your media under NATO guidelines.

They are pushing this exact thesis because it plays on basic human fears, the experience of the older generation, which throughout the second half of the 20th century was bracing for the Third World War against global communism, and Western youth, for which their respective governments have come up with a new mechanism called “cancel culture” (cancelling everything Russian this time). Moreover, the West absolutely does not care what Moscow really says, and the meaning of words is distorted and outwardly perverted.
Let’s consider the specifics.
Two days ago, in his answer to a question by Dimitri Simes during an interview, Sergey Lavrov said literally the following 👉 full quote
What are the takeaways?
1. It was Russia that, with great difficulty, convinced the United States during lengthy talks to reaffirm the Gorbachev-Reagan formula that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.
2. It was Russia that persuaded the group of five nuclear nations to adopt a statement with the same content.
3. There are risks; they should not be blown out of proportion or underestimated.
We did everything possible to prevent a nuclear war, to create all the necessary obstacles on the way to slipping into this scenario (fortunately, they justified themselves during the Cold War and are working today), because we understand the real risks and threats posed by irresponsible behaviour in this area. We cannot allow the very thought of a nuclear war.
Now acting in the worst traditions of disinformation, Western officials are feeding the media, in a coordinated effort, fake news about Moscow’s alleged nuclear threats. The foreign ministries from the NATO countries started convincing the people in their countries that the Russians were “rattling their weapons.”
<...>
Notice how clumsy this was in terms of media work. First, all the put-up quotes against our country were repeated by the journalist, and then they were again mentioned by Ned Price. A presentation designed for a not too sophisticated public. No one even paid attention to what the Foreign Minister said about the risks and Russia’s attempts to prevent the unthinkable.
It’s unthinkable to us, but, mindful of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it is, unfortunately, possible for our colleagues from overseas.
The next day, the media started mass brainwashing. The British tabloids (the Daily Mail and others) and the high-quality analytical US press, French television and German tabloid magazines started talking with one voice that Moscow was threatening with a Third World Nuclear War. And this was already being discussed in Europe; French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said that the Russian Foreign Minister’s words were the “rhetoric of intimidation.”
I would like to ask this Frenchman whether he at least saw what Sergey Lavrov said? We have translated the interview.
Our country is against any nuclear war, and this is exactly what the Russian Minister said, and this is what guides our diplomacy in its work.
Could it be that the Western capitals read the interviews as presented by the Western media? This is the only thing that can justify their words. To avoid that, one should simply DON'T turn off alternative sources of information, and listen to what Russia has to say close to the original text, rather than as interpreted by your media under NATO guidelines.

🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on Ukraine’s case in the International Criminal Court
💬 An announcement made on April 25 to the effect that the International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor’s Office will join the Joint Investigation Group comprised of Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine and created under the auspices of Eurojust has come to our attention.
Everyone is aware of how such entities operate. It is safe to assume that the work of their brainchild will be similarly biased and one-sided.
☝️ If anyone doubts that the ICC is a body that is fulfilling political orders and has nothing to do with independent justice, this new “creative” format has made it perfectly clear.
We would like to ask the ICC Prosecutor’s Office and the countries that are now so concerned about justice in Ukraine why, for eight years, they ignored the suffering of Donbass residents?
