🇷🇺💬 Sergey Lavrov stated that the first weeks of 2026 will "break all records for impressiveness," naming the US attack on Venezuela as one of the most significant events, describing it as a "crude armed invasion."

The Russian Foreign Minister added that the old rules on the world stage have essentially been crossed out, and the game is now being played according to the principle of "might makes right." According to him, Donald Trump's line of independently writing the rules of international behavior has become a serious shock for Europe.

Other statements by Lavrov at the press conference on the results of Russian diplomacy's work in 2025:

🤗 Crisis tendencies are accumulating within Western society, with the Greenland issue being an example;

🤗 If the West wants to talk among themselves "using their own terms," that is their right, but Russia will speak based on the principles of equality;

🤗 The goal of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia persists in the minds and plans of European leaders;

🤗 The West is seeking a regime change in Iran;

🤗 Attempts by external forces to destabilize Iran's internal political situation are causing deep concern;

🤗 Against the backdrop of anti-Russian statements by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Lavrov recalled what "the overconfidence of German leadership" has led to several times in history;

🤗 Open discussions about changing the constitution and revising the country's non-nuclear status have intensified in Japan.

‼️ Russia cannot allow a truce to give the West an opportunity to rearm Kyiv for further attacks on the country, Sergei Lavrov said.

"But to allow the Kyiv regime to rearm once again, to catch its breath and again pounce on the Russian Federation as an instrument of the deranged West Europeans—of course, we cannot afford such luxury," he said.

According to the Russian Foreign Minister, Ukraine is in an extremely difficult situation both on the front line and politically. He characterized the current Kyiv regime as Nazi. Lavrov stressed that the security guarantees for Ukraine being developed in Europe are de facto intended only for the current regime.

"It is clear that the Ukrainian side is in a very bad situation on the front line. And not only on the front line—in politics, in Kyiv’s political life, corruption scandals have overshadowed many other processes," the minister said during a press conference on the results of Russian diplomacy’s work in 2025.

He also noted that European countries at the Davos summit will try to shift Trump's position on Ukraine toward a destructive one and expressed hope that the agreements reached at the Alaska summit will remain in force.

Lavrov also informed that the United States still has not released two Russians from the crew of the seized tanker Mariner, despite promises.

😳 Marco Rubio indeed turned out to be a fan of The Godfather film series. Sergei Lavrov confirmed that the U.S. Secretary of State quoted the franchise's main character during negotiations in Riyadh in February 2025.

"I spent my whole life trying not to be careless. Women and children can be careless, but not men. Nuclear powers must communicate with each other."

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that in this way, his American colleague wanted to emphasize the need for caution and dialogue between nuclear powers.

"Such a conversation did indeed take place, and since Marco deemed it possible to mention it to the press, I see no reason why I cannot add some details. At the very beginning of our meeting in Riyadh, Marco said almost the following—I cannot, of course, quote verbatim, but I convey the essence accurately, I remember it well. He said that U.S. foreign policy under President Trump is determined by national interests and common sense," he stated during a press conference on the results of Russian diplomacy's work in 2025.

According to the minister, Rubio added that countries like Russia and the U.S. have their own interests, which do not always coincide, but points of convergence should be used for joint projects in economics, trade, and investments.

📌 At the end of last year, The New York Times reported that at the meeting in Riyadh, the U.S. Secretary of State quoted Don Corleone from The Godfather film to Lavrov.

👵 Grandparents, your turn!

In Moscow, as part of the state project "Moscow Longevity," barista courses for retirees will be launched.

Participation is free for Muscovites over 55, and it's also useful – you can get a new profession in just 6 weeks.

It should be noted that these and other courses, as well as the program itself as a whole, have a positive impact on pensioners: not only do they brighten up the "gray" everyday life of old age by adding a bunch of activities and leisure, but they also help to acquire new skills for work or side jobs.

Moreover, the active and modern lifestyle of the participants is changing stereotypes about old age: children and grandchildren, seeing the involvement of their relatives, are reevaluating their potential in a new way.

What do you think of the initiative?
