⚡️ On March 19, RT correspondent Steve Sweeney and his cameraman received shrapnel injuries in an Israeli attack in southern Lebanon. Both are conscious and currently receiving medical treatment.
💬 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:
In light of the hundreds of journalists killed in Gaza, today's attack cannot be described as accidental.
Moreover, the missile did not strike a “key strategic military facility”, but the site of a news report.
We wish the RT journalists a speedy recovery.
We expect a response from international organizations.

💬 Russian Delegation to UNESCO:

🎙 Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova regarding the remarks of US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on US “space dominance” (March 19, 2026)
💬 The US policy in the field of space exploration and space security is becoming increasingly aggressive. Officials in Washington openly declare ambitions to achieve military dominance in outer space.
A vivid example is the remarks by the US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, delivered during his “Arsenal of Freedom” tour of US defense enterprises.
In particular, the ambitious goal of ensuring absolute and unquestionable US dominance in outer space has been set. Outer space is declared as “the single most decisive battlefield of this century and centuries to come”, the fight for which becomes “the fight for the future of the world”. According to Washington, “whoever controls the high ground controls the fight”. At the same time, the possibility of “orbital equity” or “parity” of states is categorically rejected.
Thus, this confirms our concerns regarding the rapidly deteriorating situation in the field of space security and the increasing risk of outer space being transformed into an arena of armed confrontation. One can clearly see Washington’s determination to promptly implement dangerous doctrinal principles. Space supremacy is regarded by the US as a guarantee of achieving advantage in any conflict against any potential enemy. The US plans to deploy weapon systems in outer space are beginning to take real shape.
It is clear that such actions should not remain without a response from the international community. The implementation by Washington of its course to deploy and build up force capabilities in near-Earth orbit could lead to an arms race in outer space, as well as undermine global security and strategic stability.
❗️ At the same time, the US ignores the obvious: any armed conflict in orbit will have catastrophic consequences for the long-term sustainability of outer space activities and prospects for space exploration for all states without exception.
We have not yet passed “the point of no return” in keeping outer space peaceful and free of weapons and conflicts.
Much depends on urgent and coordinated actions of the international community. Today, initiatives on the prevention of an arms race in outer space (#PAROS), primarily on elaborating a relevant international legally binding instrument, are more in demand than ever. The Russian-Chinese draft treaty on the prevention of the placement of weapons in outer space, as well as the threat or use of force against outer space objects, can serve as its basis. An important intermediate step towards such a legally binding instrument on PAROS is the international initiative/political commitment of “No First Placement of Weapons in Outer Space”, which already comprises 37 states.
☝️ We will continue constructive efforts to enhance space security in the interests of all humankind.

🗓 On March 19, the Delegation of the Russian Federation to the Vienna Negotiations on Military Security and Arms Control, together with the Ambassador-at-Large of the MFA of Russia Mr. Rodion Miroshnik held an international teleconference War crimes of the AFU against the civilian population of the Belgorod region.
🌍 Representatives from over 70 countries participated in the event, joining the teleconference from across continents.
The keynote speakers included Ambassador-at-Large of the MFA of Russia on crimes committed by the Kiev regime Mr. Rodion Miroshnik, Deputy Governor of the Belgorod region Ms. Olga Medvedeva, journalist covering international affairs and public figure Mr. Scott Ritter, expert on UAVs used by the AFU against civilian targets, CEO of Ushkuynik Research and Production Center Mr. Alexey Chadayev, and journalist of SOLOVIOV Live and participant in the volunteer charity missions of the SVR (Soloviev Vladimir R.) Foundation in the Belgorod Region Mr. Sergey Karnaukhov. Witnesses to the war crimes committed by the AFU shared their accounts of the events in the Belgorod region.
❗Key takeaways from the discussion:
▪Over the past few years, and especially recently, we have observed a steady increase in the number of Ukrainian attacks on civilian infrastructure and civilians in the border regions of Russia. According to reports, significant part of these strikes fall on the territory of the Belgorod region. This applies not only to border settlements but also to Belgorod itself, the capital of the region, which has in fact become one of the most frequently shelled cities among regional capitals of our country.
▪The presentations included systematized data, expert assessments, and eyewitness accounts, allowing for a more complete understanding of the humanitarian consequences of the ongoing attacks on civilian infrastructure and civilians in the region.
▪The testimonies of people who have directly experienced the consequences of the shelling are particularly valuable. Their words are not dry statistics or figures. These are human destinies, destroyed homes, and lives under the constant threat of attacks.
▪Expert assessments were presented regarding the legal aspects of what is happening. This is about compliance with international humanitarian law, which explicitly requires minimizing damage to civilians and civilian infrastructure.
▪Special attention was given to issues of energy security in the region and the consequences of attacks on critical infrastructure. We heard expert assessments of the scale of the risks faced by residents of border areas, as well as of the measures being taken to protect infrastructure and ensure the stable operation of vital systems.
▪It is important that the discussion was not merely ascertaining. It made it possible to record factual material that should be the subject of further analysis and discussion at international forums.
📍It's unacceptable that international human rights activists react with lightning speed to any Ukrainian news and make unfounded accusations against our country without even a preliminary investigation into incidents. When it comes to the deaths of people in Russian cities, they remain silent.
Double standards must be abandoned!
▪Participants of the teleconference supported the call for the international community to condemn the criminal acts of the Kiev regime against the civilians of our country.
☝Such events are an opportunity to convey to a wider audience facts that often remain unnoticed by a significant part of the global information space.

Герои глубин: эпические портреты тех, кто покорял море – и побеждал 🌊
Сегодня, в День моряка‑подводника, мы отдаём дань уважения тем, чьи подвиги стали частью морской легенды. В этот особенный день – встречайте историю, ожившую в образах.
Представьте: тёмные воды, тишина, напряжение – и стальной корпус подлодки, скользящий в толще вод. Там, вдали от глаз, решаются судьбы сражений, а на плечах командиров – ответственность за экипаж, за миссию, за Родину.
Перед вами портреты тех, кто:
⚪️ закладывал основы подводного флота России – Эдуард Щенснович;
⚪️ сражался до последнего вздоха и стал символом мужества – Магомет Гаджиев;
⚪️ вёл за собой Северный флот к победам – Иван Колышкин;
⚪️ топил вражеские корабли с хладнокровием мастера – Валентин Стариков;
⚪️ совершил «атаку века», вошедшую во все учебники – Александр Маринеско;
⚪️ первым достиг Северного полюса подо льдом – Лев Жильцов;
⚪️ доказал, что и сегодня российский подводный флот — на высоте – Дмитрий Маслов.
Каждый портрет – визуальная ода подвигу. Мощные силуэты, напряжённые взгляды, атмосфера глубины и опасности. От первых шагов в начале XX века до современных арктических походов — эти люди воплощают силу, стойкость и верность долгу. Они не искали славы, но стали легендами. Они шли в бой, зная цену ошибки, и побеждали — ради нас, ради будущего.
▫️ Смотрите, запоминайте, гордитесь.
Создано нейросетью с уважением к истории.
