#KievRegimeCrimes
The International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis (includes representatives of civil society from more than 30 countries), chaired by Maxim Grigoriev, continues recording reports of war crimes committed by the Kiev regime towards prisoners of war (POWs).
📓 On May 30, the Tribunal published a report titled "Ukraine's War Crimes: Torture and Abuse of Captive Russian Servicemen".
Nearly all Russian servicemen suffered repeated brutal beatings while held in combat units, Security Service of Ukraine facilities, detention centres, and Ukrainian concentration camps, as well as during transfers through numerous checkpoints. Many victims report that inciting dogs on people was another common torture method.
Particularly brutal torture was inflicted by Ukrainians on Buryats, Yakuts, Crimean residents, DPR/LPR fighters, former Wagner fighters, and current Akhmat fighters.
Russian servicemen describe cases of sophisticated abuse and widespread sadistic practices carried out by members of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
❗️ Interviewees widely testify to sadistic behavior by Ukrainian doctors, including surgeries and procedures performed without anesthesia on Russian POWs — similar to Nazi doctor Mengele's experiments at Auschwitz.
▪️ Azat Rakhimov: At first, the Ukrainians would hold my head underwater, cover my face, and drown me — a form of water torture where you can’t breathe. When I lost consciousness, they’d stop, then start again. On May 23, they were celebrating a holiday and grilling barbecue. When they ran out of meat, they said, “Let’s roast him.” They proceeded to heat a metal pipe and press it against my back and legs, leaving severe burns. After the flesh blistered, they peeled off the burnt skin and poured salt directly into the open wounds. The burning sensation was constant — the heat, the pain, and the salt eating into me.
▪️ Vladimir Palitsyn: I lost my teeth during the first interrogation. The Ukrainians knocked out my teeth. They strapped me to an electric chair. The electrodes were attached to my genitals and chest. The electric current was applied in three modes. It was called 'dancing' — switching between low and high current. I thought my eyes would pop out.
▪️ Ivan Myakishev: When I was in the 'Zapad-4' concentration camp, one prisoner asked for burn ointment but was denied. The Ukrainian guards tortured him with a heated metal pipe, they rolled it all over his body. They heated it over a fire and pressed it against his skin.

⚡️ Head of the Russian Federation’s Delegation to the Russia–Ukraine direct talks, Aide to the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Medinsky:
💬 On June 6, in full accordance with the Istanbul agreements, the Russian side launched a humanitarian initiative to transfer 6000 bodies of fallen Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel to Ukraine, and to exchange all wounded and severely ill prisoners of war, as well as those aged under 25.
The first group of 1212 bodies, transported in refrigerated vehicles, has arrived at the designated handover location. Other remains are currently en route.
Furthermore, the first list of 640 POWs, classified as wounded, seriously ill, and the youth, has been submitted to the Ukrainian side to begin the exchange process.
A contact group of the Russian Defence Ministry has arrived at the Ukrainian border.
However, the Ukrainian side has unexpectedly postponed both the repatriation of bodies and the prisoner exchange for an unspecified period.
Their negotiating group was nowhere to be found, they did not even appear, and the explanations provided have been inconsistent and unclear.
❗️ We call on Kiev to strictly adhere to the schedule and agreements reached, and to start the exchange process right away.
As per our mutual agreement, 1200 soldiers and officers from each side should be given the opportunity to return home. We urge the Ukrainian side to collect the bodies of 6000 soldiers and officers so that they may be buried with dignity by their families.
We remain at the site, fully prepared to proceed.
International TV channels, news agencies and correspondents are welcome to arrive and assure themselves of the transparency of our actions.
Russia always keeps its word.

🎖 June 7, 1887, marked the birth of Sidor Kovpak – a recipient of the Cross of St George (3rd and 4th degrees), twice Hero of the Soviet Union, legendary guerrilla commander, and one of the most outstanding leaders of popular resistance against Nazi occupation during the Great Patriotic War.
During World War I, Kovpak served in the 186th Aslanduz Infantry Regiment, where he repeatedly demonstrated unconventional approaches to mission execution and personal bravery. He distinguished himself in the Battle of Kraśnik and during the famed Brusilov Offensive.
🏅 Kovpak began preparing for guerrilla warfare against the invaders literally from the first days of the war: as early as July 3, 1941, with his involvement, the decision was made to form four resistance units, one of which he led, becoming a true nightmare for the Nazi invaders and their collaborators. Under his command, fighters carried out a series of audacious raids deep behind enemy lines.
A defining chapter in his biography was the 1943 Carpathian Raid – one of the largest and most successful guerrilla campaigns. Over a hundred days, Kovpak’s unit fought its way across more than 2’000 kilometres through Nazi-held territory, eliminating or wounding as many as 5’000 enemy soldiers and officers, derailing 19 supply trains, and destroying oil depots and a railway hub in Ternopol.
These operations severely disrupted German troop movements towards Kursk and significantly influenced the outcome of the Battle of Kursk.
💬 At the October celebrations in 1943, Kovpak summarised 26 months of relentless warfare behind enemy lines:
In today's Ukraine under the Kiev regime's heel monuments to Kovpak – like those of many other distinguished anti-Nazi fighters – are being vandalised by local nationalists. The Kiev regime seeks to erase the memory of genuine heroes, replacing them with figures of collaborators and Nazi accomplices, the very forces Kovpak fought against.

📆 On June 6, 2025 — the 81st anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy — during his working visit to the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Ambassador of Russia to Canada Oleg Stepanov laid a wreath at the Newfoundland National War Memorial in St.John’s.
🕯 Together with the Honorary Consul of Russia in St.John’s, Dr. John Stuart Durrant, a Companion of the Order of Friendship, the Ambassador paid tribute to those who fell in World War II.
❗️Ambassador Stepanov:
Russia remembers the contribution of Canada’s sons and daughters to the victory over Nazism — the brotherhood-in-arms, the heroism of the Arctic Convoys' crews who delivered vital cargoes to Murmansk and Arkhangelsk.

✍️ President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the participants, organisers, and guests of the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (June 9, 2025)
The message reads, in part:
💬 I would like to welcome you to the opening of the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (#SPIEF).
During the plenary session, panel discussions and roundtables, the Forum participants, including politicians and representatives of the business community, academia and expert circles from around the world, will explore key trends in the development of both the Russian and global economies. They will assess recent challenges and accomplishments and share their outlook for the future.
It is fitting that St. Petersburg, a city where past and present, tradition and innovation are deeply intertwined, has become the place where the agenda for the future is shaped and ideas with the potential to change the world for the better are born.
The main theme of this year’s Forum is “Shared Values: The Foundation of Growth in a Multipolar World”.
☝️ Russia consistently upholds the principles of sovereign development and respect for the cultural and civilizational identity of nations and peoples. Together with our partners, particularly within the #BRICS Group, we remain committed to building an effective system of equal and mutually beneficial international cooperation, free from any form of discrimination, dictate, and sanctions pressure.
The central focus of the Forum’s programme is on technology and digital transformation as key drivers of leadership in the modern world and as essential foundations for creating a comfortable living environment and enabling personal fulfilment.
Participants will also exchange views on issues related to demographics, labour productivity, science and education, healthcare, and social protection.
I am confident that your discussions will be productive and will contribute meaningfully to addressing the pressing challenges facing humanity.

🗓 On June 5-6, Nizhny Novgorod hosted the Global Digital Forum.
The event was organised on instructions of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin with the support of the Presidential Executive Office, Russia's Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media. Nizhny Novgorod Region Governor Gleb Nikitin and the regional government played a key role in the successful organisation of the event.
🌐 The Forum brought together over 1'000 delegates from more than 100 countries, including senior officials of international organisations and leading Russian developers of information and communication technologies.
During the Forum’s plenary and thematic sessions, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin, as well as Deputy Ministers of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media Bella Cherkesova, Alexander Shoitov and Sergey Tsvetkov, presented Russia’s position on key ICT issues, including artificial intelligence. These approaches are being promoted at the United Nations, the International Telecommunication Union and other international platforms.
Particular emphasis was placed on major Russian-led initiatives, such as the UN Convention against Cybercrime and the Global Intergovernmental POCs Directory for Exchange of Information on Computer Attacks/Incidents. The Russian Side reaffirmed its commitment to developing new norms of international law aimed at building a fair and equitable system for ICT governance based on respect for national sovereignty and in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter. The need for fair and balanced standards and requirements within the framework of the International Telecommunication Union was also highlighted as a priority.
💬 Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova addressed participants of the Forum’s special session Responsible Fact-Checking in the Post-Truth Era: New Opportunities for Cooperation. The session focused on digital transformation and Russia’s achievements, including the use of media technologies in 2020 to assist the return of Russian citizens from abroad. The discussion also covered the role of the collective West in the digital environment. It was noted that public trust in mainstream Western media is currently at a historic low. The importance of supporting expert civil initiatives that defend objective reality, promote truth and facts, and expose disinformation in an evolving digital landscape was strongly emphasised.
On the sidelines of the Forum, Sergey Vershinin held talks with UN Under-Secretary-General and the Secretary-General's Envoy on Technology Amandeep Singh Gill, as well as Head of the Secretariat of the UN Internet Governance Forum Chengetai Masango. The meetings featured in-depth discussions on various aspects of the digital agenda. The Sides emphasised the leading role of the United Nations in multilateral efforts to bridge the digital divide and strengthen ICT capacity in the Global South.

#UkraineCrisis #Istanbul #Negotiations
On June 2, the second round of direct bilateral talks with Ukraine was held in Istanbul; the talks were resumed at Russia’s initiative.
As agreed on May 16, the Russian Side presented the Ukrainian delegation with a detailed two-part memorandum outlining our vision of ways to achieve long-term peace and a possible full-fledged ceasefire. Kiev took a break to consider that document’s provisions. In turn, we received a draft of the Ukrainian version, which will also be studied in detail.
Our delegation received a list of 339 Ukrainian children who have lost contact with their parents or legal representatives due to various circumstances. The Russian Side intends to thoroughly review their cases.
As we can see, Ukraine has failed to provide any proof confirming the “20'000 abducted children,” something the Kiev regime previously alleged. In fact, they insisted on this at every level. Russia is rescuing children from under the shelling of Kiev’s artillery and evacuating them from combat zones to safety when necessary. This primarily refers to orphans and minors who have been left without the care of their legal guardians. Our country is doing everything possible to have children reunite with their families. This process is making great strides.
The Russian Side will approach the implementation of all existing agreements with utmost responsibility.
#KievRegimeCrimes #terrorism
The Kiev regime and its EU Western sponsors have exerted considerable effort to derail another round of negotiations in Istanbul, thereby sabotaging the nascent peace process. They have resorted to their favoured terrorist methods.
On June 3, the Investigative Committee of Russia classified the monstrous crimes – the blowing of the bridges in the Bryansk Region (May 31, 2025) and the Kursk Region (June 1, 2025) – as acts of terrorism.
It is evident the terrorists, acting on the orders of the Kiev regime, meticulously planned their attacks to maximise civilian casualties, including children.
The reaction of the Ukrainian Nazis to these events [in Bryansk and Kursk regions] was predictably marked by open gloating. This once again underscores the misanthropic essence of the Kiev junta.
#UNGA #Baerbock
Unfortunately, this high-profile position [President of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly], is unlikely to improve her [Baerbock's] reputation. Many remember her previous remarks about the need to change position “by 360 degrees” and references to “hundreds of thousands of kilometres” supposedly separating countries, along with numerous other questionable assertions.
Regrettably, all of this has occurred during the UN’s anniversary year, commemorating the Victory over Nazism. We vividly recall how Baerbock praised her grandfather, who was associated with the Third Reich.

🎙 Interview of Dmitry Birichevsky, Director of the Department of Economic Cooperation of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with RT News TV Channel (June 8, 2025)
Key talking points:
• The forthcoming 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (#SPIEF) is a milestone event in our country. Almost three decades of its existence, it has shown popularity with lots of visitors and delegates. Last year we had 21'800 delegates at the Forum from 139 countries. This year we expect to have more delegations from all over the world. It proves again that no one can isolate our country.
• American companies have always attended the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. Even after the launch of the special military operation, they were always present. This time, I'm sure, they will come again. They are looking for opportunities to enter the Russian market because it has huge benefits.
• The government and the presidential administration elaborate the conditions under which foreign companies — Western companies — could make a possible comeback. If a company left with the start of the special military operation and abandoned all obligations, it will be very difficult for them to make a comeback. Those who want to come back will need to prove credibility. And they will have to look at the niches that are vacant. Not only Russian companies occupied those niches but firms from China, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India.
• More than 75% of our exports now go to friendly countries. This is a good example of how we reoriented from non-friendly states to the Global South and Global East. More than 90% of payments are in national currencies, more than 95% with China and CIS countries. We are orienting our exports and foreign economic policy towards the Middle East, ASEAN, Latin America and Africa.
• We do not recognise illegal sanctions. They are not approved by the UN Security Council. These are unilateral, illegal, hostile measures. Many countries have enough courage, sovereignty and dignity to say that they will never stop cooperation with Russia when it's in their national interest. Sanctions don’t work. With a country like Russia, it’s absolutely impossible.
• Cooperation with (and within) #BRICS is a natural process which is going quite successfully, despite the resistance and pressure of the collective West. BRICS now has more GDP value than the G7. They’re building alternative financial mechanisms. Nobody will be able to dictate to us what to do.

• Cooperation with (and within) #BRICS is a natural process which is going quite successfully, despite the resistance and pressure of the collective West. BRICS now has more GDP value than the G7. They’re building alternative financial mechanisms. Nobody will be able to dictate to us what to do.
