✍️ Article by Alexey Drobinin, Director of the Foreign Policy Planning Department at the Russian Foreign Affairs Ministry:

💬 “The worldwide meaning of the Ukraine crisis is about returning freedom, dignity and independence to the non-West – we suggest calling it the World Majority, which previously used to be suppressed, robbed and culturally humiliated. Obviously, it should get back its fair share of global wealth”.

✍️ Статья Директора Департамента внешнеполитического планирования МИД России А.Ю.Дробинина:

💬 «Общемировой смысл схватки на Украине – возвращение не-Западу, а мы его предлагаем называть по-другому – Мировым большинством, которое раньше подавляли и грабили, культурно унижали, – свободы, достоинства и самостоятельности. И, конечно, справедливой доли в мировом богатстве».

🌍 От глобализации и западной модели к интеграции и равноправию. Узнай, как изменится мир!

🇷🇺🤝 It's been 9 years since Crimea reunited with Russia following a free vote by its residents in the March 2014 referendum. The peninsula has come a long way since then, it has changed for the better & become one of the most rapidly developing regions of our continent.

Major transport infrastructure has been built from nothing, and existing production facilities have been overhauled. It is the Crimean Bridge & an international airport in Simferopol.

🏘 The social infrastructure has been expanded & elevated to a new level. Since 2014, eight schools & over 100 kindergartens have opened. Several multi-purpose medical centres have also opened, & 6 major sport facilities have been rebuilt. Housing construction volumes also continue to expand.

The creation of a free economic zone in Crimea helped expand local business operations. The peninsula has received investment worth over 276.6 billion roubles, over 5,700 infrastructure facilities have been put into operation, and 89,400 jobs have been created.

⚡️ The elimination of the energy blockade, imposed by Ukrainian nationalists, was a landmark achievement. In 2015, the Crimea-Krasnodar Territory energy bridge made the peninsula part of the Russian power grid. In 2022, three electric substations began operating on the southern Crimean coast. Moreover, the peninsula’s water blockade was also relieved last year when a dam blocking the inflow of water was blown up.

The region enjoys inter-ethnic & inter-religious harmony. Russia guarantees the civil rights of all nationalities living in the peninsula. Crimean Tatars now can study in their native language for the first time.

💬 President Vladimir Putin speaking at a concert marking the seventh anniversary of Crimea’s reunification with Russia (March 18, 2021): “We have done a lot, yet there is much to be done in Russia in general & for the development of Crimea and Sevastopol. We understand it. We will do it, because we are a single, large, powerful force. Because we are united!”

🗓 Acting in violation of international law and supported by its allies, the United States launched the Iraq invasion on March 20, 2003. This reckless undertaking wiped out Iraq’s statehood and military, throwing its economy and social sector into complete disarray, and plunging the country into many years of internal military and political strife, from which it has yet to recover.

The invasion also resulted in the overthrow and execution of the legitimate President of Iraq Saddam Hussein, the destruction of the country's basic infrastructure, a severe deterioration of the health system, and rise in crime.

❗️ It is worth mentioning that weapons of mass destruction have never been found in Iraq. Leaders of the countries which invaded Iraq justified their criminal actions by citing faulty intelligence.

According to various estimates compiled by the academic community and NGOs, from 100,000 to 205,000 civilians met a violent death, and the invasion indirectly caused about 650,000 civilian casualties (independent reports & surveys give a wide range of estimates up to 1,2 mln casualties). The number of Iraqi refugees reached 1.5 million, and there were 2 million internally displaced persons. Today, over 12 million Iraqis, or about 30 percent of the country’s population, live below the poverty line.

A substantial body of evidence has been collected on the war crimes committed in Iraq by the US Army and its allies, but despite that most of the perpetrators have yet to be held accountable.

Most episodes have not even been investigated, while criminal charges have been rare.

☝️ The reckless military undertaking led by the United States prompted the emergence of new threats to regional security and stability, creating a hospitable environment for spreading terrorist and extremist ideas, which in turn exposed the whole world to atrocities committed by ISIS.

⚡️The Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation

📑
This Concept is a strategic planning document which provides a systemic vision of the national interests of Russia in the domain of foreign policy, basic principles, strategic goals, major objectives & priority areas of the Russian foreign policy.

☝️ More than a 1000 years of independent statehood, the cultural heritage of the preceding era, deep historical ties with the traditional European culture & other Eurasian cultures, & the ability to ensure harmonious coexistence of different peoples, ethnic, religious & linguistic groups on one common territory, which has been developed over many centuries, determine Russia's special position as a unique country-civilization & a vast Eurasian and Euro-Pacific power that brings together the Russian people & other peoples belonging to the cultural & civilizational community of the Russian world.

Russia, taking into account its decisive contribution to the victory in World War II & its active role in shaping the contemporary system of international relations & eliminating the global system of colonialism, is one of the sovereign centres of global development performing a historically unique mission aimed at maintaining global balance of power & building a multipolar international system, as well as ensuring conditions for the peaceful progressive development of humanity on the basis of a unifying and constructive agenda.

🇷🇺 Russia pursues an independent & multi-vector foreign policy driven by its national interests & the awareness of its special responsibility for maintaining peace & security at the global & regional levels.

Russian foreign policy is peaceful, open, predictable, consistent, & pragmatic & is based on the respect for universally recognized principles & norms of international law.

❗️ Russia's attitude towards other states & interstate associations is contingent on the constructive, neutral or unfriendly character of their policies with respect to Russia.

📄 Excerpts from the Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation

#Trends

• Humanity is currently going through revolutionary changes. The formation of a more equitable multipolar world order is underway.

• The changes which are now taking place & which are generally favourable are nonetheless not welcomed by a number of states being used to the logic of global dominance & neocolonialism.

• Serious pressure is being put on the UN & other multilateral institutions the intended purpose of which, as platforms for harmonizing the interests of the leading powers, is artificially devalued.

• Russia does not consider itself to be an enemy of the West, is not isolating itself from the West and has no hostile intentions with regard to it; Russia hopes that in future the states belonging to the Western community will realize that their policy of confrontation and hegemonic ambitions lack prospects.

#Priorities

• Russia is striving towards a system of international relations that would guarantee reliable security, preservation of its cultural & civilizational identity, & equal opportunities for the development for all states.

• Russia consistently advocates strengthening the legal fundamentals of international relations, & faithfully complies with its international legal obligations.

#RegionalTracks

• The most important for the security, stability, territorial integrity & social & economic development of Russia, strengthening its position as one of the influential sovereign centres of world development and civilization is to ensure sustainable long-term good-neighbourly relations & to combine the strengths in various fields with the CIS member states.

• Russia aims at further strengthening the comprehensive partnership & the strategic cooperation with China.

• Russia will continue to build up a particularly privileged strategic partnership with India.

• Russia seeks to transform Eurasia into a continental common space of peace, stability, mutual trust, development & prosperity.
