Key points:
🔹 The standard of living in Europe is declining, inflation is on the rise and economic growth is waning. The new poor have become a fact of life. People are impacted by multiple problems, including higher prices. Many are in danger of becoming destitute. Despite this, tens of billions of dollars and euros are being used to arm Ukraine.
🔹 Ukraine is a bargaining chip and a tool that is manipulated primarily by the United States and Great Britain - an Anglo-Saxon team now heading the West.
🔹 The West prohibits Ukraine to negotiate.
🔹 As a reminder, there was no referendum in Kosovo, but there was one in Crimea, which was attended by multiple foreign observers, albeit representing not nation states, but reputable civil bodies, honest people who wanted to see everything with their own eyes.

⚠️Russian Joint Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response continues to carefully record the continuing egregious facts of the inhumane treatment of civilians by the authorities in Kiev, and use of medical infrastructure for military purposes by Ukrainian armed formations:
🔹in Kharkov, the buildings of the Road Clinical Hospital (Igor Muratov Street), City Hospital No. 25 (Aleksandrovskyi Avenue), the Endocrinology Clinic of the Institute of Endocrine Pathology (Gurevicha Street) and Children's Polyclinic No. 23 (Metrostroiteleyi Street) are equipped with fire points and ammunition depots by the AFU and territorial defence units, while staff and patients of medical facilities are forcibly detained under the pretext of ensuring their safety;
🔹in Nikolaev, fighters of the territorial defence battalions have equipped firing positions in the buildings of the medical centre (Pogranichnaya Street) and the hospital (Flotskaya Street), and artillery and MLRS have been placed in the surrounding territory;
🔹in Kramatorsk, Donetsk People's Republic, militants of the Ukrainian armed forces have equipped a stronghold and ammunition depot in hospital No 2 (Dniprovskaya Street), and the approaches to the medical facility have been mined;
🔹in Ugroedy, Donetsk People''s Republic, Ukrainian armed formations have equipped a stronghold in the building of a local hospital, and MLRS and artillery guns have been placed on the territory of the medical facility.
▫️These and other similar facts of gross violations of international humanitarian law by the Kiev regime, despite repeated statements by the Russian Federation's Joint Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response, have so far remained unnoticed by the World Health Organization.
❗️Once again, we call on all international organisations, especially the World Health Organisation, to influence official Kiev and take effective measures to prevent the use of medical infrastructure for military purposes.

🎙 Russia’s President Vladimir Putin in an interview with Rossyia 1 TV channel:
💬 We are seeing attempts to place the responsibility on Russia for developments in the global food market and the growing problems there. I must say that this is another attempt to pin the blame on someone else.
First, the situation with the global food market did not become worse yesterday or even with the launch of Russia’s special military operation. The situation took a downturn in February 2020 during the efforts to counter the pandemic when the global economy was down and had to be revived.

The second reason was European countries’ short-sighted policies, and above all, the European Commission’s policy in regard to energy.

⚠️ It has been reliably established that fighters of the nationalist battalions, leaving the captured territories and refusing to leave supplies of grain to Mariupol residents, deliberately set fire to a large grain storage facility in the seaport.
▫️As a result, more than 50,000 tonnes of grain have been burnt.
▫️This inhumane crime shows the world community the "true face" of the Kiev regime, which, in fact, uses methods of food terrorism against its own people.
▫️All this is taking place in the context of the full support of the countries of the so-called civilised West and the ongoing hysteria around the false accusations of the Russian Federation in creating a food crisis in the world.
❗️We emphasize once again that in carrying out the tasks of the special military operation, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation treat the local population extremely humanely and do not strike at civilian infrastructure facilities, unlike the Ukrainian armed formations.

⚠️Joint Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response continues to record the Kiev regime's criminal actions against civilians, as well as the use of civilian infrastructure by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and militants of Ukrainian nationalist formations for military purposes:
🔹in Nikolaev, the buildings of schools No. 32 (Oberegovaya Street) and No. 43 (Bogoyavlenskyi Avenue) are occupied by fighters from territorial defence battalions, and firing points and artillery positions are set up on the territories;
🔹in Druzhkovka, Donetsk People's Republic, militants of armed formations have deployed a territorial defence headquarters in the centre of children's and youth creativity (Kosmonavtov Street);
🔹in Kostantinovka, Donetsk People's Republic, AFU servicemen have equipped strongholds and firing positions in the buildings of the Lenin House of Culture (Toretskaya Street) and the Agrarian College (Uchebnaya Street), without evacuating residents from nearby houses;
🔹in Kremenchug, Poltava region, neo-Nazis have equipped strongholds in the buildings of vocational school No. 26 (Chkalova Street) and vocational school No. 7 (Pugachova Street), children's and youth sports school (Kievskaya Street) and comprehensive school No. 9 (Prikhodko Street), and armored vehicles and large-caliber artillery have been placed in the vicinity.
▫️These facts once again demonstrate the indifferent attitude of the Ukrainian authorities towards the fate of civilians and their complete disregard for the provisions of international humanitarian law.
▫️This is happening with the tacit consent of the countries of the so-called collective West, which continue to turn a blind eye to the numerous war crimes of the Kiev regime.

⚠️ According to reliable information, SSU officers are preparing another provocation with the use of hazardous chemicals.
▫️In Sumy, AFU soldiers and fighters from territorial defence units have received chemical defence suits. Training on how to handle a chemical alert is carried out.
▫️According to the plan of Kiev's scriptwriters, the Ukrainian armed forces will launch artillery strikes on Russia's border regions from settlements in Sumy Region.
▫️Following a staged retaliatory fire attack allegedly carried out by the Russian Armed Forces, members of the Ukrainian security services are planning to spray strong toxic substances in the area of the provocation.
▫️This fact will be recorded by experts of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and used to later accuse the Russian Armed Forces of using chemical weapons against civilians.

📆 June 9 marks the 350th birth anniversary of a great statesman, Tsar, then Emperor Peter the Great. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was one of the most extraordinary rulers in Russian history. His tireless and never-ending energy, governance talents and dedicated service to the Motherland helped to radically transform the international, political, economic, social and cultural image of Russia.
📜 The reforms of Peter the Great made it possible to considerably reduce the lag between Russia and advanced Western European countries, and they drastically transformed the country’s public life. In 1721, Russia was proclaimed an empire, and Peter the Great became the first Russian Emperor.
Numerous commemorative events narrating various stages of Peter’s life and activities mark the 3️⃣5️⃣0️⃣th birth anniversary of the Russian Emperor.

💬 Russia's President Vladimir Putin on sovereignty in today's rapidly changing world:
We live in an era of change. Geopolitical, scientific and technological transformations are happening. The world is changing, and it is doing so rapidly.
In order to claim some kind of leadership – any country, any people, any ethnic group should ensure their sovereignty.
Because there is no in-between, no intermediate state: either a country is sovereign, or it is a colony, no matter what the colonies are called.
I am not going to give any examples so as not to offend anyone, but if a country or a group of countries is not able to make sovereign decisions, then it is already a colony to a certain extent. But a colony has no historical prospects, no chance for survival in this tough geopolitical struggle.
(excerpt from President Putin's meeting with young entrepreneurs, engineers and scientists ahead of the St.Petersburg International Economic Forum).

Looks like these sanctions were imposed by Trudeau’s cabinet not on 🇷🇺 but on 🇨🇦. They further deprive Canadian entrepreneurs of opportunity to earn money doing business in Russia or with Russia. Empty political gesture that hurts Canadian interests only.

The on-going attempts to blame Russia for "weaponising" grain and food supplies are completely without merit.
❗️ Faсts: Russia is a responsible member of the global food market. It is the Western illegitimate sanctions that are in fact damaging global food security.
We are deeply concerned about a possible food crisis and are well aware of the importance of supplies of socially important commodities, including food, to the socio-economic development of countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East and the achievement of SDGs.
The illegitimate unilateral restrictions imposed by the EU, the US and their satellites remain the main obstacle to normal export relations between Russia (and Belarus) and buyers of grain and fertilizers.
