🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency (December 29, 2025)
Read in full
❓ Question: In February, Russia and the United States agreed to start working on normalising their relations. In your opinion, has there been progress in this matter after almost one year? How normal can we consider the diplomatic relations between Moscow and Washington today?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: Indeed, even during the telephone conversation on February 12 – their first contact after Donald Trump’s return to the White House – the presidents of Russia and the United States agreed that it is necessary to overcome the “toxic legacy” of the Joe Biden administration as soon as possible, in the interests of normalising Russia-US relations. This work began immediately. Our contacts have become steady since then. Both sides understand the importance of comparing their positions regularly, both on bilateral issues and on the topical international problems, including the situation in Ukraine.
At the same time, this has not been an easy process. The number of aggravating circumstances remains high. The negotiation teams of the Russian Foreign Ministry and the US Department of State are focusing their efforts primarily on restoring the full-fledged operation of our diplomatic missions. Following several rounds of consultations and meetings that took place at the working level, we have reached certain agreements concerning the improvement of the work of our diplomatic missions and their staff in their respective host countries.
Now, it is important to move to more significant matters. They include resuming direct flights and recovering our seized diplomatic property. The American side has received our proposals on removing these substantial barriers that hinder tangible improvements in our relations. However, the US Department of State continues to insist on linking these matters to unrelated political topics. This work will continue.
Key points:
• Russia has repeatedly stressed its unwavering commitment to primarily political and diplomatic solutions to the crisis around Ukraine. The US Administration is currently engaged in active and result-oriented mediation. <...> We hope that America will be able to keep to the agreements reached in Anchorage.
• The Russian army fully holds the strategic initiative, and the West understands that. Recently, President of Russia Vladimir Putin spoke at a meeting of the Defence Ministry Board and answered questions during the Direct Line. Once again, he clearly confirmed that all the goals of the special military operation will be achieved – preferably through talks but, if necessary, using military means.
• Vladimir Zelensky’s presidential powers expired in May 2024. The election in Ukraine must be held according to law. We have noted that the United States holds a similar view.
• Ukrainian people, including the vast majority of their compatriots now residing in Russia, must finally be given the opportunity to determine their own future. Crucially, the organisation of such a vote must not be used as a pretext for a temporary ceasefire to facilitate the rearmament of the Ukrainian forces.
• The priority must be establishing legally binding guarantees that address the root causes of this conflict. The foundational principles upon which Ukrainian statehood was recognised by Russia and the international community must be restored.
❗️ This entails enshrining Ukraine’s neutral, non-aligned, and nuclear-free status; achieving its demilitarisation and denazification; and halting the NATO countries’ military development of Ukrainian territory.
The rights and freedoms of native Russians and Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine must be guaranteed, and the persecution of canonical Orthodoxy must cease.
Furthermore, Kiev and its Western sponsors must recognise the new territorial realities following the accession of Crimea, Sevastopol, the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, and the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions to the Russian Federation.

⚡️ Statement by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov (Moscow, December 29, 2025)
💬 On the night of December 28-29, the Kiev regime launched a terrorist attack using 91 long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on the state residence of the President of the Russian Federation in the Novgorod Region. All the UAVs were destroyed by the air defence systems of the Russian Armed Forces.
No casualties or damage were reported.
Notably, the attack was carried out during the intensive talks to settle the Ukrainian conflict between Russia and the US.
Such reckless actions will not go unanswered. The Armed Forces of Russia have already selected targets and the timing for retaliatory strikes.
Despite this attack, we have no intention to withdraw from the negotiations with the US.
❗️ However, given the utmost degeneration of the criminal Kiev regime, which has shifted to a policy of state terrorism, Russia’s negotiating position will be reviewed.

🗓 On December 29, President of Russia Vladimir Putin signed a decree establishing April 19 as the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Genocide of the Soviet People, perpetrated by the Nazis and their accomplices during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.
The draft law to introduce this Day of Remembrance was developed by Russia's State Duma Committee on Defence in November 2025. The authors of the initiative proposed commemorating the victims on April 19, as on this date in 1943 the first legal act was issued that officially documented the Nazis’ policy of exterminating civilians in the occupied territories – Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR No. 39 “On punishment measures for Nazi villains guilty of killing and torturing the Soviet civilian population and captured Red Army soldiers, for spies, traitors to the motherland from among Soviet citizens and for their accomplices”.
Decree No. 39 laid the legal foundations for bringing to justice Nazi criminals and their accomplices, including Italian, Romanian, Hungarian and Finnish military personnel. Materials collected during investigations conducted on the basis of Decree No. 39 formed a key part of the evidentiary base at the Nuremberg Tribunal, the Khabarovsk Trial, and other judicial proceedings against war criminals from the Axis powers.
💬 Speaking at a meeting of Pobeda (Victory) Organizing Committee on July 2, 2020, Vladimir Putin noted:
🕯 Losses caused by the actions of the Nazis and their accomplices during the Great Patriotic War amounted to no fewer than 27 million Soviet citizens, while the total estimated demographic losses of the USSR approached 50 million people.

“The Nazis planned to colonize the Soviet land, to kill or turn into slaves and to take away the languages and culture of all who lived here – the Slavs and people of other ethnicities. These crimes of the Nazis and their minions and the genocide against the peoples of the Soviet Union do not have a statute of limitations. This assessment must remain firm in our legislation and in the international law system”.

🇷🇺🇮🇳On 29 December the Consul General of Russia in Mumbai H.E. Mr. Ivan Fetisov attended the opening ceremony of the multimedia exhibition of the People's Artist of Russia, Academician of the Russian Academy of Arts Mr. Nikas Safronov. The Indian public was presented with several dozen iconic paintings by the master, combined into an interactive exhibition Dream Vision.
☝🏻H.E. Mr. Ivan Fetisov read out a welcome message from the Ambassador of Russia to India H.E. Mr. Denis Alipov, noting that Nikas Safronov's exhibition is a clear evidence of the strength and depth of Russian-Indian relations in the field of culture, as well as the common values of mutual trust and respect.
❗️The Consul General also stressed that the peoples of Russia and India are connected by decades of mutual respect, creative exchange and sincere interest in each other's spiritual and artistic heritage.
🖼The exhibition is presented in the format of an interactive Dream Vision project created using modern multimedia technologies that do not replace painting, but subtly complement it, enhancing emotional and semantic perception. The central part of the composition was created by Mr. Nikas Safronov specifically for India — the artist was inspired by the Indian epic, history, philosophy, culture and traditions of national painting. The project uses multimedia projections, neuro mirrors, the effect of "animated" paintings and point light direction.
🫱🏻🫲🏼The event is organized with the support of Rosneft Oil Company.
❗️The exhibition is being held at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Mumbai and will be open to visitors until January 15th. Admission is free.

🎄 President of Russia Vladimir Putin’s New Year Address to the Nation
💬 Esteemed citizens of Russia, dear friends,
In these final moments before the New Year, we feel time itself moving forward. The future lies ahead of us – and what it will become largely depends on us.
We rely on our own strength. On those who stand beside us, who are dear and close to our hearts, and we are always ready to lend a shoulder in return. This mutual support gives us confidence that all we have planned – our hopes and aspirations – will definitely come true.
Of course, each of us has our own dreams – personal, special and distinct in their own way. Yet they are inseparable from the destiny of our Fatherland, from a sincere wish to be of benefit to it. For together we are the people of Russia.
The labour, successes and achievements of each of us form new chapters in Russia's thousand-year history. And the strength of our unity determines the sovereignty and security of the Fatherland, its development and its future.
The New Year is, above all, faith in all that is good – in kindness and good fortune. It is a unique and magical holiday, when hearts open to love, friendship and compassion, to attentiveness and generosity.
We seek to bring joy and warmth through our care to those who need support and attention. And, of course, through word and deed, to stand by our heroes – the participants in the special military operation.
You have taken upon yourselves the responsibility to fight for your home country, for truth and justice. Millions of people across Russia, I assure you, stand by your side on this New Year’s night. They are thinking of you, sharing your trials, and believing in you. We are united by a sincere, selfless and devoted love for Russia.
💪 I congratulate all our soldiers and commanders on the coming New Year! We believe in you and in our Victory!
***
Dear friends, in just a few moments we will hear the chimes of the Kremlin Clock, and the New Year will commence. We welcome it together with those closest to us – with our children, parents, friends and comrades-in-arms. Even those who are far away right now – you are still with us in spirit.
I wish everyone good health and happiness, mutual understanding and well-being. And, without fail, love – the kind that inspires.
May our traditions, our faith and our memory unite all generations and support us always in every endeavour. Together we are one big family – strong and united. And therefore we will continue to work and to create, to achieve our goals and to move only forward – for the sake of our children and grandchildren, for the sake of our great Russia.
🎉 Happy New Year 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣, dear friends!

ART: The Arctic in the paintings of Russian artists ❄️
The image of the cold northern region and its exploration has captivated painters since the 19th century. It has been depicted both as a harsh, ice-bound world and as a mysterious place accessible only to brave polar explorers.
These and other paintings can be seen in the ‘Arctica. The Pole of Color’ exhibition at the Tretyakov Gallery (t.me/GT_Gallery) until June 21, 2026.
