❗️📄Read extracts from the statement of Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the OSCE Maxim Buyakevich «To the report of the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Ukraine», (meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 23 June 2022):

➖In work of OSCE Project Coordinator in 🇺🇦 Ukraine, nothing has remained of #OSCE itself - in such conditions we don’t see any reason for extending mandate of PCU.

➖Report of OSCE Project Co-ordinator in #Ukraine leaves feeling that his work is carried out in a mythical prosperous country where human rights are respected & democratic institutions function, and he only helps to correct minor shortcomings. ❌It's not like that

❗️In absence of proper response from OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Ukraine to Kiev’s violation of its commitments we conclude that work of this structure has become detached from its tasks

➖Return of 🇺🇦Ukraine to path of compliance with commitments seems not to have been at all part of work of PCU - instead only one “product” was consistently delivered - a decent picture of “Kiev’s progress” in democracy development, respect for human rights & rule of law

#Remarks by the Ambassador of #Russia to Ireland Yuriy Filatov on the World Grain Supply

💬 "All of that makes one wonder if the EU leaders know real situation on the ground. If they do, they have engaged in the lowest possible form of disinformation. If not – then that would reveal the high degree of their incompetence. Either way, this is bad news for the EU public."

⚠️In addition, Ukrainian armed groups continue using educational institutions, houses of culture and other social facilities with military purposes:

▫️in Druzhkovka, Donetsk People's Republic, in the school №8 (Bogdana Khmelnitskovo st.), militants of nationalist battalions have deployed strongpoints, artillery and multiple-rocket launchers, while the local population has been intentionally left without evacuation;

▫️in Volnyansk, Zaporozhye region, in the vocational technical school №64 (Pushkina st.), a group of foreign mercenaries has deployed its manpower, as well as armoured vehicles and artillery at the adjacent territory;

▫️in Kharkov, on the lower and upper floors of residential buildings (Akademika Pavlova st.), Ukrainian nationalists have deployed their firing positions. At the same time, residents are forbidden to leave their flats, while any attempts of civilians to evacuate to safe areas are severely suppressed.

▫️These facts show the indifference of the Ukrainian authorities to the civilian population and their total disregard to the international humanitarian law. It occurs with the tacit consent of the collective West that continues turning a blind eye to the numerous war crimes of the Kiev regime.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with the National State Television and Radio Company of Belarus

📰 READ IN FULL

Key points:

🔸The West fears honest competition. Hence, a desire to cancel the culture of any country that stands on its own, nationally-oriented positions.

🔸 When at last the Ukrainians have the grace to suggest resuming the diplomatic process, we will see what situation has emerged on the ground.

🔸 Ukraine tried to build its sovereignty by cancelling its own history. The West encouraged that approach and that conceptual vision of the Ukrainian state just to harm Russia.

🔸 Everyone understands the hypocrisy of the demagogic groaning about the absence of sanctions on food and fertiliser. Yes, food is not under sanctions, but all the necessary steps for delivering it to consumers fall under sanctions.

⭕️Read extracts from the statement of Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the OSCE Maxim Buyakevich “On ongoing crimes by Ukraine against civilian population with the support of Western alliance of OSCE participating States”, (meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 23 June 2022):

Situation in 🇺🇦Ukraine is most vivid illustration of the crisis of confidence that has matured in recent years in the all-European space.

Today neo-Nazism has raised its head in #OSCE space - most egregious example is #Ukraine, where neo-Nazi groups from Ukrainian armed formations, using weapons supplied by NATO countries, continue to attack civilians

Defenders of #Donbass republics are fighting for right to live safely in their homeland, to preserve & develop their culture, language and traditions. The task of completely liberating these territories from occupying 🇺🇦 Ukrainian armed formations will certainly be completed

❗️ Blatant double standards used by "collective West" in support of 🇺🇦 Kiev regime only convince people of Donbass and citizens of all Russia of fairness & rightness of the case to protect #DPR and #LPR from Ukrainian aggression

❌Steps taken by Kiev regime, which can be described as “cultural and linguistic genocide”, clearly do not fit into “European values”

🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦 President of Russia Vladimir Putin attended a BRICS+ meeting involving the leaders of several invited states, held via videoconference.

💬 President Putin:

🔹 It is notable that the leaders of the countries who are attending our meeting today stand for developing a truly democratic multipolar world order based on the principles of equality, justice and mutual respect

🔹 We have every opportunity to build up practical cooperation between the #BRICS countries and its partners, the countries represented here. We feel your mutual interest in maintaining close business contacts.

🔹 It is equally important for BRICS to expand cooperation with regional associations like ASEAN, the African Union, the Association of Caribbean States, the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Indian Ocean Rim Association.

Today we circulated as an official document of the UN Security Council and General Assembly a letter with examples of hate speech of Ukrainian officials and politicians.

Here is a link to this document.

We did it as a follow up to our statement in the UN SC on 21 June.

Hopefully this document will open the eyes of our UN colleagues and help them realize whom are we dealing with in reality in Ukraine today

🎙 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova on political repression against dissenters is intensifying in Ukraine:

Kiev is going to introduce the practice of mass requisitioning Ukrainian enterprises from owners who, by the arbitrary decision of the authorities, are recognised as pro-Russia sympathisers. What kind of law, democracy or liberalism are we talking about?

❗️ The policy of forced Ukrainisation and persecution of everything that is Russian continues unabated.

On June 19, the Verkhovna Rada approved draft laws that effectively ban Russian music from being played in the streets of Ukrainian cities, music halls, stadiums and on radio and television.

Books, newspapers and magazines from Russia and Belarus have been banned in Ukraine and cannot be brought in. Russian-speaking writers are removed from world literature courses.

A native of Odessa, Anna Akhmatova wrote, “It’s not scary to die by a bullet, not painful to lose home, and we will protect you, Russian speech, the great Russian word.”

Vladimir Putin spoke at a BRICS+ meeting involving the leaders of several invited countries

🔸The represented countries support a truly democratic multipolar order, equality, justice and respect.

🔸Cooperation with partners sharing these values has become extremely relevant in the current context of unbalanced international relations.

🔸Attempts to deter the development of countries that are not ready to follow the Western rules, the reckless imposition of sanctions and the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic have only exacerbated the crises in the global economy.

🔸The inflation hike was caused by G7 countries' irresponsible macroeconomic policy, uncontrolled money creation and accumulated unsecured debts.

🔸The food market is disrupted: the soaring cost of essential agricultural commodities has hit developing countries harder than the West.

🔸Russia is an important and responsible participant of the global food market that is supplying humanitarian aid to the countries in need.

A Russian representative in a dialogue with the UN Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of the Right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression at the UN HRC:

🔹The topic of Ms. Khan's report appears to be quite relevant. This is confirmed, among other things, by the massive anti-Russian disinformation campaign unleashed by the Western countries and the "digital giants", as well as their adoption of unilateral restrictive measures.

🔹 The purpose of this Western sanctions policy is exclusion of the Russian media from the information field, the silencing of "undesirable" opinions that do not fit into the "mainstream narrative".

🔹 We regret that Ms. Khan is defiantly trying to ignore the information war declared in the West on everything Russian, as well as the “fake-spewing conveyor belt” created to vilify our country, the Russian people and culture. Moreover, the Special Rapporteur assumes the function of determining which information is true and which is false.

#Trudeau cabinet officials’ continuing attempts to demonize #Russia by clumsy blames (this time “starving the world”) is an example of scapegoat #propaganda of the lowest sort aimed at covering the responsibility of the #West for the current food instability #Think4Yourself

A Russian representative at the UN HRC:

🔹 We are forced to use the right of reply regarding the speech of the EU delegation on behalf of a group of States that have proclaimed themselves to be the standards in the human rights and appropriated the right to judge others for conducting independent foreign and domestic policy.

🔹 Today, European countries and their “Big Brothers” overseas are overwhelmed by Russophobia, which is becoming increasingly ugly. Among the most common violations are refusals to provide educational, medical and other services, arrests and seizure of property, intimidation into public repentance, suspension from sports, music festivals and competitions, attacks, threats and insults.

🔹 I would like to ask the colleagues from the "collective West", who gave you the right to judge and label others? Wouldn't it be better to look at your own reflection first? Although, apparently, the feeling of shame is unknown to you to begin with.

✅ The Parties confirmed their mutual intention to consistently strengthen the strategic partnership between the two countries.

✅ Some issues on the international agenda were also addressed.

💬Ambassador Oleg Stepanov to Sputnik International: I want to emphasize once again that all these sanctions are absolutely empty symbolism, because they cannot have any effect on the Russian economy.

❗️ Russian Defence Ministry:

On June 27, in the city of Kremenchug (Poltava region), Russian Aerospace Forces launched a high-precision air attack at the hangars with armament and munitions delivered by the USA and European countries, located at the Kremenchug road machinery plant.

High-precision attack has resulted in the neutralisation of west-manufactured armament and munitions concentrated at the storage area for being delivered to Ukrainian group of troops in Donbass.

Detonation of the munitions in storage caused a fire in a non-functioning shopping mall next to the facilities of the plant.

#DebunkingMyths

#FoodCrisis is a blame game you can’t lose. You are being lied for a reason.

🕵🏻Watch the full story:

Your daily #Fakes pushed by the Western media

❌ The Russian military indiscriminately targeted a shopping center in Kremenchug on June 27.

✅ The actual target was the “Kredmash” plant, storing armaments & munitions. Now confirmed by security camera footage from a nearby “Maisky Sad” park.

While the G7 Summit takes place in Germany, it’s no wonder that the mainstream media went on a rampage to “demonize” Russia and its military.

How else would someone justify the Western fight “to the last Ukrainian”?

This is another example of why it’s always important to get the full story from different sources first - before jumping to conclusions.
