#Kuzmin: #ISIL and other #terrorist organizations have not been defeated yet. They carry on w/criminal activities in various regions of🌍. Now they particularly gravitate towards the African continent. So it's crucial that we should prevent revival of “Caliphate 2.0” in #Africa. https://t.co/mH8Y2oJ8sM

#Kuzmin: Terrorist threats trigger great problems in NE #Syria. The illegally present US military fail to etablish order there. The atmosphere of lawlessness that evolves around the locations where🇺🇸contingents're deployed creates favorable conditions for #terrorists of all sorts https://t.co/gzlLEtGs7y

#Kuzmin: One of #Syria’s major #humanitarian challenges also takes us to the territory, illegally occupied by the #UnitedStates – camps “Al-Hol” and “Roj”, where dozens of thousand women and children are kept in horrible conditions. https://t.co/qCwsjTuIJP

#Kuzmin: The local militants definitely gained in strength and courage, because now they openly attack detention facilities where their “brothers-in-arms” are held. As a result, even those #terrorists who have been put to prison now turn out free. #Syria @mfa_russia https://t.co/AjTn0GUIji

#Kuzmin: Withdrawal of American🇺🇸 occupational forces from #Syria would allow Syrians to clear the remaining #terrorist hotbeds in the country and ensure safety of the population. As record shows, the Government of Syria🇸🇾 can do this in a much more effective way. https://t.co/pyYkAXoUXO

#Kuzmin: Russia🇷🇺 supports the efforts of states that are ready to cooperate in order to fight with #terrorism on the basis of the international law. There are enough legal tools that allow to do this, i.a. those elaborated by the #SecurityCouncil 🇺🇳. 🔗https://t.co/Ot3Tec8wwg https://t.co/0ygtpWBe1U

#Kuzmin: Russia has been engaging systemically with the authorities of #Syria and #Iraq to evacuate children from conflict zones. We've built an effective system of interaction that lets identify & repatriate children of🇷🇺citizens while fully complying w/norms of the intn'l law. https://t.co/MbwOpbOEpd

#Kuzmin: The Afghan wing of #ISIL consists of more than 6,000 fighters. We're particularly concerned over the fact that the majority of terrorists in 🇦🇫come from #CentralAsia states. This escalates risks that #terrorist activity may spread to the neighboring countries. https://t.co/I9EZrzNaAG

#Kuzmin: By this time, appr.3⃣5⃣0⃣ minors have safely returned from #Syria and #Iraq. One of our priority tasks at this track is ensuring social adaptation of these children. To achieve this, we among other things render support to their relatives who act as caregivers. https://t.co/LTbJMkTO1j

#Kuzmin: Our Western colleagues again called to observe #HumanRights & uphold the #humanitarian law when taking counter-#terrorism measures. We suggest that they be the first to do so, because at this point what they say does not reconcile w/ what they do. https://t.co/Ot3Tec8wwg https://t.co/QiYSb9BBqe

🥂10 февраля в🇷🇺отмечается #ДеньДипломата. Поздравляем коллег с праздником и желаем новых побед на международной арене! 💼On 10 February🇷🇺celebrates #DiplomatsDay. We cordially congratulate all our colleagues and wish professional achievements in the area of #diplomacy. #ДДР2022 https://t.co/2k9AjUuUSz

#Zakharova:🇺🇦PR to the UN S.Kislitsa gave an interview titled “Is Russia falsifying its UN & #SecurityCouncil membership?” He said: "I've never seen a decision that anyone has, in principle, ever voted for🇷🇺membership either in UNSC or UNGA.” Absurd statements of this kind abound https://t.co/luP9V5FBqa

#Zakharova: I cite3⃣documents. First, the decision of the Council of Heads of CIS States of 21 December 1991. By the way, Mr Kyslytsa cited this in his interview, but failed to mention that #CIS supported Russia in continuing the Soviet 🇺🇳membership, incl. permanent seat in UNSC.

#Zakharova: Second, there was a note of 26 December 1991 in which🇷🇺MFA notified the UNSG that Russia retained in full responsibility for all the rights & obligations of the USSR at🇺🇳. This document notified the #UN of the decision taken by CIS Heads of State Council on 12/21/91.

#Zakharova: The 3rd document is a circular note dated January 13, 1992, in which 🇷🇺MFA notified heads of diplomatic missions in Moscow that “Russian Federation continues to exercise the rights and fulfil the obligations arising from international treaties concluded by the #USSR.”

#Zakharova: By all means we'll publish more material about the legal grounds for #Russia's UN & #UNSC membership. We will make references to all the relevant documents to make sure that not a single permanent representative of #Ukraine will dare to utter this kind of lie anymore.

Russia🇷🇺 stands for broader representation of the developing countries of #Africa, #Asia, #LatinAmerica on the #SecurityCouncil. These parts of the globe🌍 is where most of the world's population is living, and UNSC composition must reflect this reality. https://t.co/p6NVcb9g7N

UNSC #reform is a game changer for the whole world. This process requires painstaking work that should account for the interests of maximum number of member states. Otherwise all benevolent intentions to make #UNSC more representative, effective, & democratic'll come to nothing. https://t.co/O7b9yDoFC7

But in any case, the #UNSC must stay compact, otherwise its performance and efficiency will be prejudiced. Some models for expanding the Security Council do not meet these logical criteria. We are convinced that the best SC composition would be "low twenties". @mfa_russia https://t.co/SeeA0wTSL6

🇷🇺 выступает за расширение участия в #СБООН развивающихся стран #Азии, #Африки и #ЛатАмерики. В этих частях света проживает большая часть населения нашей планеты, и Совет должен это отражать. https://t.co/XiepLbYPPv https://t.co/ZC4smweWer

Хотелось бы особенно подчеркнуть, что в приоритетном плане необходимо исправить историческую несправедливость в отношении #Африки, количество мест которой в Совете не соответствуют ни современной роли континента в международных делах, ни общему числу африканских государств. https://t.co/l1asWjOQz3
