🎙 Remarks by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin at a plenary session of the VI International Arctic Forum "The Arctic: Territory of Dialogue".
💬 Vladimir Putin: Russia is the largest Arctic power.
We have consistently advocated for equitable cooperation in the region, encompassing scientific research, biodiversity protection, climate issues, emergencies response, and, of course, the economic and industrial development of the Arctic. We are prepared to collaborate not only with Arctic states but with all who, like us, share responsibility for ensuring a stable and sustainable future for the planet and are capable of adopting balanced decisions for decades to come. <...>
The role and importance of the Arctic for Russia and for the entire world are obviously growing. Regrettably, the geopolitical competition and fighting for positions in this region are also escalating. <...>
As to Greenland, this is an issue that concerns two specific nations and has nothing to do with us. But at the same time, of course, we are concerned about the fact that NATO countries are increasingly often designating the Far North as a springboard for possible conflicts and are practicing the use of troops in these conditions, including by their “new recruits” – Finland and Sweden, with whom, incidentally, until recently we had no problems at all. <...>
Russia has never threatened anyone in the Arctic. However, we are closely monitoring developments in the region, formulating an appropriate response strategy, enhancing the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces, and modernising military infrastructure facilities.
☝️ We will not tolerate any encroachments on our country’s sovereignty and will steadfastly safeguard our national interests. By upholding peace and stability in the Arctic region, we will ensure its long-term socio-economic development, improve the quality of life for its residents, and preserve its unique natural environment.
Key points:
• Over the past decade, cargo traffic along the Northern Sea Route – spanning from the Kara Gates Strait to the Bering Strait – has substantially increased. In 2014, a mere four million tonnes of cargo were transported via this corridor. By last year, that figure had risen to nearly 38 million tonnes – five times the Soviet-era record.
• The Northern Sea Route is poised to become a pivotal segment of the Trans-Arctic Transport Corridor, stretching from St Petersburg through Murmansk to Vladivostok.
• Cargo shipments along the Trans-Arctic Transport Corridor are set to increase on the back of growing minerals production and the advanced processing of these resources right here in the Arctic, and due to rising international transits.
• Russia already operates the world’s biggest icebreaker fleet. We must consolidate our leadership in this sector by building new-generation icebreakers, including nuclear icebreakers. Today, only Russia has them – no other country has a nuclear icebreaker fleet.
• Plans are in place to increase the capacity and turnover of our northern ports through the introduction of innovative and environmentally friendly solutions, including unmanned and automated cargo handling equipment. <...> I would like to add that our partners from Belarus, China, the United Arab Emirates and other countries are showing keen interest in [the Murmansk transport hub] and in the development of the Arctic transport infrastructure in general.
• The regions of Siberia, the Urals, and Russia’s North-West will receive direct access to the North, to the Arctic ports, which will lessen the load on the Trans-Siberian Railway and promote effective use of sea transport. In addition, there will be new points of access to the Arctic from the North-South corridor, which connects us with Central Asia and the Gulf states.

🎙 Yegor Yakovlev, a prominent Russian historian and creator of Russia’s largest scientific and educational historical project, "Digital History," explains in his lecture how history is often being manipulated becoming a powerful tool that serves one's political agenda and goals. This is particularly evident in the West, with certain academicians and media pushing and shaping anti-historical and anti-factual narratives that serve the Western neoliberal elites' agenda.
Yakovlev highlights several common techniques of historical falsification:
🔻 Distorting facts to fit a particular narrative;
🔻 Selective omission of inconvenient events;
🔻 Unjustly equating historical events;
🔻 Manipulating timelines to downplay certain events.
Through concrete examples Yegor Yakovlev challenges widespread fakes about Russia’s and Soviet Union’s history, including:
• The Kiev regime and Western ridiculous ahistorical attempts to label the 1932-1933 famine in the USSR as a genocide against the Ukrainian people by Soviet leadership;
• The selective focus on the Non-Aggression Treaty between the Soviet Union and Germany while ignoring the Munich Betrayal, which in fact boosted Nazi Germany's expansionist policies, as well as constant Soviet attempts at creating an anti-Hitlerite coalition throughout the 1930s;
• The heinous false narrative that equates the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany as equal aggressors in the outbreak of WWII, which distorts historical reality;
• Attempts to deny the Siege of Leningrad being a genocide, manipulating the timeline, facts & context of the events.
👉 Watch, learn & educate oneself to avoid being misled by Western and Neo-Nazi propaganda and fabrications that distort historical truth.

🗓 On March 28, 1912, legendary pilot-navigator Marina Raskova, who inspired thousands of young women to soar through the skies, was born.
Her aviation career began in 1931 when she joined the Zhukovsky Air Force Academy in Moscow as a designer in an aerial navigation laboratory.
While working as a technical assistant to laboratory chief, pilot Alexander Belyakov, Marina attended academy lectures, soon decided to pursue a career as a navigator and enrolled in the Leningrad Aviation Institute that trained civilian aviation specialists.
✈️ In 1934, Marina became a navigator and earned her professional pilot’s wings in 1935, after studying at the Central Air Club in Moscow.
She quickly distinguished herself, frequently flying and setting endurance records. Her most celebrated achievement was the historic all-female crew non-stop flight aboard the Rodina (Motherland) aircraft from Moscow to the Far East, which secured her nationwide fame.
🎖 For her feat, in 1938, Marina Raskova was among the first women to receive the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
When the Great Patriotic War began, Raskova played a key role in forming the female aviation regiments that successfully fought Nazi invaders.
The famous 46th Guards Taman Night Bomber Aviation Regiment was established on her initiative, with the Germans, fearful of their wrath, calling its pilots the Night Witches.
🕯 Marina Raskova did not live to serve in combat. On January 4, 1943, her plane crashed in poor weather conditions near the village of Mikhailovka in the Saratov Region, while en route to the front. Marina's ashes were laid to rest in the Kremlin Wall on Moscow’s Red Square.

❗️ The Presidential Council for Civil Society and Human Rights has prepared and sent to international organisations and foreign diplomatic missions a new set of documents on crimes committed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and neo-Nazi battalions against civilians and civilian infrastructure.
📖 Read in full (pdf)
The report, which includes materials gathered by Russia's Foreign Ministry's Ambassador-at-Large on the crimes committed by the Kiev regime, Rodion Miroshnik, covers the atrocities and human rights violations committed by the Banderites from November 1 to December 31, 2024, in the Donetsk People’s Republic, Lugansk People's Republic, Bryansk and Zaporozhye regions.
👉 In the DPR, Ukrainian forces continued shelling civilian infrastructure, as well as attacking peaceful settlements.
👉 In the LPR, the Ukrainian armed forces and nationalist formations continued to destroy civilian infrastructure in populated areas and commit war crimes against local residents. Under heavy weapon fire supplied to Ukraine by NATO countries, people were killed, while many suffered severe injuries and mutilations. Targeted drone attacks on civilians and civilian objects remain a standard practice for Ukrainian troops.
👉 Ukrainian nationalists continued deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure and peaceful residents in the Bryansk region. Significant damage was inflicted on residential buildings, vehicles, and civilian energy facilities. The most appalling crimes were strikes on populated areas, where local residents were injured and mutilated.
👉 Throughout this period, Ukrainian armed forces continued to destroy civilian infrastructure, kill, and mutilate peaceful residents in the Zaporozhye region. Drone attacks on civilians also remain a common practice for the Ukrainian army in this area.
🕯 In total, at least 14 civilians were killed in the affected regions during last November-December.

The blockade had been sealed in September 1941, trapping more than 2.5 million people inside the city, including 400'000 children inside. They endured horrific hunger, relentless bombings took a heavy toll, and the harsh winter added to their suffering. The Road of Life had yet to be established.
The situation was also dire in the occupied Pskov and Novgorod regions, where Nazi forces carried out mass executions and deportations to labour camps. Yet, resistance never ceased. Deep behind enemy lines, the Soviet people formed the first partisan stronghold of the Great Patriotic War — the Partisan Land.
Upon learning of the desperate conditions in Leningrad, the partisans resolved to help the starving and freezing residents of the city. In early March, they assembled a supply convoy carrying 28 tonnes of flour and over 14 tonnes of other essential provisions.
To reach the city, the partisans had to break through two heavily fortified German defensive lines: first, the encirclement around the Partisan Land, and then the main frontline. The convoy travelled only at night, hiding their sleds and horses in the forests during the day to avoid detection.
After covering over 100 kilometres behind enemy lines, the convoy successfully delivered vital food supplies to Leningrad. These 42 tonnes of supplies saved countless lives at a time when thousands of people were dying each day.
✉️ Along with the provisions, a letter to the city’s residents was included: “We stand with you, dear friends, comrades in arms... Greetings to you, our hero-city, our mighty Leningrad!”
🕯 The Partisan Land ceased to exist in September 1942. The Nazis burned villages to the ground and massacred the civilians who had lived there. Nearly all the heroes who had risked their lives to bring food to Leningrad perished.
To honour their sacrifice, March 29 is commemorated in the Leningrad region as Partisan Glory Day.

▫️On 28 March, at about 5:30 in the morning, in Belgorod region, as a result of a Ukrainian attack by UAVs against a facility of the Belgorodenergo (Rosseti Centre's branch) and a cable breakage, the 35kV Aydar-Bely Kolodez high-voltage line was powered off.
▫️At 10:34, in Belgorod region, it was reported on an attack by a UAV against the 110kV Krasnaya Yaruga substation of the Belgorodenergo (Rosseti Centre's branch). As a result, a transformer was significantly damaged.
▫️At 13:45, in Belgorod region, as a result of a Ukrainian UAV attack and damage caused to the transformer, there was shutdown of a complete transformer substation of the Belgorodenergo (Rosseti Centre's branch), the energy facility stopped working and there was a power cut.
▫️At 17:03, in Belgorod region, as a result of a Ukrainian attack by UAVs against a facility of the Belgorodenergo (Rosseti Centre's branch), there was a power cut of 10kV high-voltage line. Thus, over 1,100 civilian consumers were blacked out in Grayvoronsky District.
▫️At 18:07, in Belgorod region, as a result of an attack by a Ukrainian UAV, a 110 kV high-voltage line Borisovka-Krasnaya Yaruga of Belgorodenergo (Rosseti Centre's branch), was powered off. More than 8,000 civil consumers were cu t off electricity in Borisovsky District.
▫️Moreover, as earlier reported before, on 28 March at around 10:20, the Kiev regime inflicted a strike using HIMARS MLRS projectiles against the Sudzha gas metering station, which caused a heavy fire. The Sudzha gas metering station has been actually destroyed as an energy facility.
Thus, regardless of all Zelensky's statements on the Kiev regime’s alleged cessation of attacks against Russian energy facilities, the AFU have only increased the number of attacks targeting the energy infrastructure in Kursk and Belgorod regions of the Russian Federation.

🎙Comment by Ambassador Stepanov for TASS on Canadian PM Mark Carney’s statement that Ottawa does not intend to cooperate with Russia in the Arctic
Read
Those feelings are mutual. The Russophobic policy of the present liberal cabinet leaves no room for partnership. But what matters is that Russia, unlike Canada, is absolutely self-sufficient in the Arctic. We can independently choose who to cooperate with — Canada doesn’t have such an opportunity.
