🎙 Statement by President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the expanded meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council (Astana, May 29, 2026)
💬 It is indeed symbolic that exactly 12 years ago, On May 29, 2014, the founding Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union was signed here in Astana.
The consistent and painstaking joint work carried out by our states to implement this document has made it possible to create a truly effective integration association. The assessments voiced by our colleagues – both positive and critical – clearly show that the Eurasian Economic Union is functioning successfully overall and continues to develop further.
I would like to particularly emphasise that, given the specifics of the current situation, close Eurasian integration brings real benefits to each member state of our Association. It helps increase business revenues and improve the quality of life and well-being of our countries’ citizens.
📈 The key macroeconomic indicators of our “five” show a stable positive dynamic, and this speaks for itself. Total industrial production in the Eurasian Union increased by 1.6%, agricultural production by 4.6%, and construction by 4.2%. Growth is also being recorded in most sectors of the economy.
Trade flows between the states of our association reached $95 billion in 2025. The structure of trade is improving thanks to expanded supplies of high-tech products and a simultaneous decrease in the share of raw materials.
Trade barriers are being consistently eliminated within the EAEU, and non-tariff regulation rules are being unified.
Practically all settlements between our countries are carried out in national currencies. This means that mutual export-import operations are reliably protected from external influence and negative trends on global markets.
Measures are being taken to further harmonise the customs legislation of the member states.
***
We have all repeatedly emphasised that the Eurasian Economic Union and our integration activity attract considerable attention abroad.
Many foreign states and major regional structures – such as the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations – are showing interest in developing ties with the “five”.
For its part, the EAEU remains invariably open to mutually beneficial and equal cooperation with constructively minded countries and associations.
The circle of the “five’s” preferential partners is steadily expanding year by year. In 2025, trade agreements were concluded with Mongolia, the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia. Negotiations on trade liberalisation with India have also intensified.
☝️ I would like to stress that deepening allied ties with all EAEU states is an unconditional priority for Russia. We intend to continue fully supporting the development of integration processes across the entire Eurasian space.

🎙Comment of the Ambassador of Russia to Canada, Oleg Stepanov, to ITAR-TASS News Agency (March 29, 2026)
On Canada-Ukraine agreement on drone production
The agreement on the production of uncrewed aerial systems for the Kiev regime, officially announced by Ottawa, is part of the hostile policy pursued by PM Mark Carney’s cabinet towards our country. It is further evidence of a desire to fuel the conflict in order to profit from it.
❗️In effect, Ottawa is moving to a new level of involvement in the Ukrainian crisis — from supplying weapons and financial aid to direct cooperation with the illegitimate Kiev regime in the sphere of military-industrial production.
Russia will take this shift into account in its military and political planning.

🎙Комментарий Посла России в Канаде О.В.Степанова новостному агентству ИТАР-ТАСС (29 марта 2026 г.)
О канадско-украинском сотрудничестве в сфере производства БПЛА
Анонсированная официальной Оттавой договорённость насчет производства беспилотных систем для киевского режима - часть враждебной по отношению к нашей стране политики кабинета М.Карни. Свидетельство желания подпитывать конфликт, чтобы на нем подзаработать.
❗️Фактически Оттава переходит на новый уровень вовлечённости в украинский кризис — от поставок вооружений и финансовой помощи к прямой кооперации с антинародной киевской хунтой в сфере экономики военно-промышленного производства.
Россия будет учитывать это изменение в своем военном и политическом планировании.

▪️ On the night of May 22, the Nazi regime carried out a heinous terrorist attack on the academic building and dormitory of the college of Lugansk State Pedagogical University in Starobelsk, LPR, using 16 UAVs, 4 of them heavy, in three waves.
The terrorist attack claimed 21 young lives. Just a week ago, they were students with dreams, plans and a future. Today, all that remains are photographs, memories and unbearable grief.
#NoStatuteOfLimitations: Look into their eyes. Ordinary students. Whole lives ahead of them. MURDERED IN STAROBELSK.
This strike was not an accident or a malfunction. It was a deliberate, targeted act of inhuman cruelty against civilians.

These young people dreamed of becoming teachers and passing knowledge on to the next generations. They had their whole lives ahead of them. Look at the photographs of the students who were killed, look into their eyes... They were the ones Kiev chose to kill.
Kiev’s neo-Nazis treacherously stole these young people’s lives and dreams – and, in effect, those of all their loved ones as well.

🎙 Answers by President of Russia Vladimir Putin to media questions following the state visit to Kazakhstan (May 29, 2026)
Key points:
#Romania
• We know that Ukrainian drones have previously flown into Finland, Poland, and the Baltic states. The initial reaction was exactly the same as it is now in Romania: “Help! The Russians are coming, the Russians are attacking.” Then, after a short period of time, it turned out that those incidents had nothing to do with Russian UAVs. They were drones of Ukrainian origin that had gone off course, been affected by electronic warfare, or, due to technical limitations, had ended up there and crashed. I believe that most likely we are dealing with the same situation as well.
• No one can determine the origin of a particular aircraft until a proper examination has been conducted.
#RussiaKazakhstan
• We are partners in nuclear energy, as noted earlier, and this is also beneficial for Kazakhstan. <...> We are not merely constructing something with credit resources; we are establishing an industry.
• Preserving close, good-neighbourly, and, in many aspects, familial ties between our nations and citizens is of utmost importance, as it fosters a level of trust between our states that is essential both in the present circumstances and from a long-term historical perspective.
• We have identified priority areas for cooperation across all key sectors and, most importantly, have defined seven principal areas that will guide our future collaboration. Humanitarian cooperation plays a particularly significant and perhaps even leading role in this regard.
• We are deeply grateful to the President of Kazakhstan for the attention he has devoted to the development of the Russian language and for the support it receives at the official level. Russian is used throughout government institutions. Rather than causing any difficulties, it is broadly welcomed.
#RussiaArmenia
• The Russian and Armenian peoples are connected by longstanding ties of friendship and, without exaggeration, by a uniquely close relationship that has developed over centuries. There is a special bond between Russia and Armenia, and between Russia and the Armenian people.
• Combining the two systems [EU membership and participation in the EAEU] in one day is virtually impossible. As a result, we would be forced, in certain areas – and indeed, by and large – to scale back almost all of our cooperation with Armenia in the economic sphere related to integration processes.
• The same preferences [for Armenia] that exist today would no longer apply. According to preliminary estimates – not only ours, but also those from various experts – these changes could result in a loss of at least 14 percent of Armenia’s GDP.
• Prime Minister Pashinyan himself has stated that he considers it appropriate to hold a referendum on whether Armenia should remain within the EAEU or pursue membership in the European Union. We would ask our Armenian partners and friends that such a decision be made as soon as possible.
#KievRegimeCrimes
• I sometimes watch Western television channels to understand the information environment being created there and presented primarily to European audiences. Perhaps you watch them sometimes, too. What I see is, frankly, disturbing and outrageous. They are simply misleading their own citizens. Our strike on the Kiev region was our response to their crimes against students in Starobelsk. <...> What is that? Is that journalism? No, it is the means of mass deception.
#RussiaEU
• Russia has never had any aggressive intentions regarding European countries. And the tragedy that is unfolding in Ukraine – this is what they have done, this is the result of their policy.
• Everything they do is designed to keep the confrontation with Russia going and justify the huge spending from the budgets of their countries, getting into the pocket of the European taxpayer.
• Naturally, it is up to us to decide whether to meet with this or another actor in today's Western European politics. This is up to us. And we will see.

The winter of 1941-1942 was one of the most horrendous in the history of Leningrad. Hunger, continuous shelling and air raids took lives every day. Nazi propaganda tried to convince the world as well as German soldiers that the city would fall soon. In the spring of 1942, Nazi commanders printed a newspaper titled Leningrad: The City of the Dead. They also air-dropped leaflets claiming that Leningrad had already been wiped off the map.
But Leningrad kept living.
To show that to the entire world, city authorities made a historic decision to hold a football match in the besieged city.
They put together two teams, Dynamo Leningrad and a team of Joseph Stalin Leningrad Metal Plant that consisted of Zenit, Spartak and other clubs' members. Many of the football players were temporarily recalled from the frontline, the police or from the Road of Life where they worked. Some of them had only recently recovered from severe malnutrition. The match was played without a half-time as the players feared they would not be able to get up and continue the game after a break.
The report about the match was broadcast through powerful loudspeakers to the frontline, amidst artillery fire. Those 90 minutes were more than a sporting event: they strongly reaffirmed that Leningrad was alive, fighting and not giving up.
These days, the memory of that event is preserved at Dynamo Stadium in St Petersburg. A memorial plaque was unveiled at the venue in 1991, followed by a monument to the players of the siege match installed in 2012.
The match on May 31, 1942, became a moral victory over the enemy and a vivid response to those who called Leningrad the city of the dead far too early.

💬 Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:
June 1 marks International Children’s Day.
For Russia, protecting children is a key domestic and foreign policy priority. We proceed from the understanding that the Convention on the Rights of the Child is the “gold standard” in this field. Over the three decades of its existence, it has not lost its relevance. It is thanks to this document that care for minors is regarded as one of the most important tasks for any state.
At the same time, despite the progress achieved globally, grave challenges and appalling problems persist in this area: hunger, lack of access to healthcare, violence and conflicts, and terrorist attacks against children.
Children’s issues are being heavily politicised, double standards are being promoted, and certain countries are unscrupulously exploiting the emotional nature of this undoubtedly sensitive matter to spread lies, slander and disinformation against other states.
The most telling example of such approaches is, of course, the story of the so-called “abducted Ukrainian children”. Let me recall: the Kiev regime invented a story alleging that Russia had abducted them. For years, it has fanatically replicated this myth on every international platform. And those platforms have been only too happy to listen – without bothering to verify the facts.
At the same time, they cynically ignore the fact that our country, acting on instructions from its leadership, has been working to reunite children with their families since the very beginning of the special military operation.
As of today, 30 children from 22 families have returned to Russia from Ukraine, while 141 minors from 114 families have been reunited with their parents or relatives living in Ukraine and other countries.
#KievRegimgeCrimes
Zelensky’s Western handlers prefer to ignore the fact that the war unleashed by the Kiev regime against the people of Donbass in 2014 has taken its heaviest toll on children.
From 2014 to February 2022, at least 129 children were killed and more than 500 wounded in the LPR and DPR. The youngest victim of Ukrainian aggression was only 27 days old.
◼️ Let me also recall the most egregious cases of the past three years 👇
• The attack on central Belgorod on December 30, 2023, ahead of the holidays, when shelling of a New Year fairground, Christmas tree and skating rink killed 25 people, including 5 children, and wounded more than 100 civilians.
• Comparable in its deliberate cruelty was the ATACMS missile strike on Uchkuyevka city beach in Sevastopol on June 23, 2024, where many families were spending their Sunday afternoon. A total of 153 civilians were injured, including 27 children. Four people were killed, among them two children aged two and nine.
• On the night of December 31, 2025 to January 1, 2026, the Ukrainian militants launched a targeted drone strike on a café and hotel in the village of Khorly, Kherson Region, where civilians had gathered to celebrate the New Year. 29 people were killed, including two children.
• On May 22, the Ukrainian militants attacked the academic building and dormitory of Starobelsk College in the LPR at night. More than 80 people sustained injuries of varying severity, 21 were killed. All of them were ordinary students.
The Kiev regime is targeting children in Russia through phone calls and messages – seeking to deceive them and cause harm by exploiting their trust and lack of understanding of the legal consequences of their actions.
There is also a system for recruiting schoolchildren via social media: children are offered money and manipulated into gathering information. There is evidence that Ukraine is using the internet to draw children into games that may have fatal consequences.

💬 Today, we mark International Children’s Day – a holiday that reminds us of every child’s right to a happy childhood, development and safety.
This day is already more than a century old, and over sixty countries around the world have joined this initiative. Yet there are also those who have begun to abandon this date – shifting it to other days, rewriting its history and distorting the very meaning of the holiday.
Last year, Zelensky shifted the holiday to another date in order to conform to “Western standards”. This year, on the eve of this date, a terrible tragedy took place in Starobelsk – one that crossed out the most fundamental human right: the right to life.
Ukrainian militants deliberately struck children who were asleep in their beds. 86 people sustained injuries, 21 children were killed.
Most of them were girls: Anya, Taisiya, Alina, Elena, Sofia, Darya, Alexandra, Tatyana, Oksana, Yana, Veronika, Anastasia, Victoria, Irina, Alisa and many others.
Unfortunately, the international community’s position on this issue remains ambiguous. Many prefer to keep silent or pretend that nothing happened, ignoring the obvious facts of the crime.
❗️ Our task is to preserve the truth and achieve justice. Impunity for such war crimes is unacceptable.
Do you know why it is important to mark Children’s Protection Day? Precisely because humanity must remember: protecting children’s rights is our shared priority and sacred duty.
