🎙 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's answers to media questions regarding the new US National Security Strategy (December 8, 2025)
Read in full
❓ Question: On December 4, the Administration of US President Donald Trump published yet another – and in many ways entirely new – US National Security Strategy. The first and principal question in this regard: how will its provisions affect Russia-US relations?
💬 Maria Zakharova: In the new edition of the US National Security Strategy, we note a number of provisions that signal a serious reassessment of Washington’s doctrinal foreign-policy assumptions – a shift rendered all the more striking when set against the 2022 version.
First of all, what draws attention is the revision of Washington’s former bet on hegemony – the document directly states that “American elites badly miscalculated” by placing “hugely misguided and destructive bets on globalism”. <…>
This basic ideological premise also determines, as we understand it, another key guideline of the Strategy – namely the call to end “the perception, and preventing the reality, of NATO as a perpetually expanding alliance”. In other words, for the first time, the US is declaring, if not a refusal to expand the alliance, then at least an official questioning of its traditionally aggressive expansionist trajectory.
It is also noteworthy that Russia is mentioned in the context of pan-European security, and that the document contains no calls for systematic containment of our country or for stepping up economic pressure on us.
☝️ At the same time, without naming Moscow directly, the new edition of the Strategy loudly signals Washington’s plans to achieve “energy dominance” by “curtailing the influence of adversaries”.
❓ Question: How does the Russian MFA assess the military-political aspect of the new Strategy and, in particular, the declared goal of achieving strategic stability in relations with us?
💬 Maria Zakharova: Despite the overall pragmatic approach to the subject, we see a number of contradictions. For example, the document contains no elements that would allow us to understand the US vision of the “post-New START” framework. In particular, clarifying the criteria for parity in the main quantitative limits on nuclear arsenals.
We also find the provisions on the US global missile-defence system – the Golden Dome – overly vague. We still expect the American Side to provide details on how they account for the interdependence between strategic offensive and strategic defensive capabilities. <…>
❓ Question: How should we interpret the thesis on “reassessing” the need for US military presence in “theaters whose relative import to American national security has declined in recent decades or years”?
💬 Maria Zakharova: This thesis reflects the “America First” concept, but it can hardly be read as a US renunciation of its military presence abroad – a presence that, in turn, aligns with another American notion, the so-called “peace through strength”.
For example, the passages on the Asia-Pacific region are troubling for their confrontational language towards China, as well as for the calls on all key regional partners “to allow the US military greater access to their ports and other facilities”.
❓ Question: The Strategy clearly shifts the focus of US foreign policy to the Western Hemisphere. This is presented as a “Trump amendment” to the well-known Monroe Doctrine. Does this not sound threatening?
💬 Maria Zakharova: These passages sound more like a direct reference to the so-called “Roosevelt Corollary”. <…> This is particularly alarming against the backdrop of the current tension deliberately fuelled by the Pentagon around Venezuela.
We expect that the White House will nonetheless avoid any further steps towards a full-scale conflict – one that could carry unpredictable consequences for the entire Western Hemisphere.

Президент Словакии Петер Пеллегрини осудил намерения Брюсселя украсть замороженные российские активы и направить их на военную поддержку Киева. Все это только продлит конфликт, уверен политик.
«Нужно поддержать активность Соединенных Штатов с той целью, чтобы как можно скорее сесть за стол переговоров с Владимиром Путиным и закончить эту войну», — заявил президент Словакии Петер Пеллегрини.

#DebunkingFakes
The Kiev regime continues to recycle its baseless accusations regarding “thousands of abducted Ukrainian children” to promote its false narratives. Although this claim has been debunked time and again, it is important to revisit the case and counter #fakes with #facts.
***
In 2014, the Kiev regime that seized power through an unconstitutional and violent coup unleashed punitive operations against the residents of Donetsk and Lugansk (at the time – Ukrainian citizens) who rejected the nationalist forces that installed themselves in power. As early as April 2014, Ukraine's armed forces against the people of Donbass using armoured vehicles, aviation, artillery and rocket systems.
❗️ Thousands of civilians, including hundreds of children, became victims of indiscriminate attacks.
On June 2, 2017, the Alley of Angels memorial was unveiled in Donetsk in honour of the perished children. Back then, the memorial listed 66 names. Today, the number of young victims has already exceeded 300.
Kiev’s atrocities go beyond the killing of children – the regime even resorts to harassing minors online. The infamous “Myrotvorets” website – a public hit list run by Ukrainian neo-Nazi, which is still operational and and is hosted on Western servers, targets almost 400 children.
Among them is Platon Burchenkov – a toddler who will only turn... three years old in January 2026 is accused of “knowingly violating the state border”. Another example is Faina Savenkova – a young blogger from Lugansk, whose personal data was added to “Myrotvorets” when she was barely 12. Ukrainian radicals claim that the teenager “encroached upon the sovereignty” of the entire state.
⚡️ According to Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office, Ukrainian punitive actions have claimed 5,000 civilian lives and left over 13,500 wounded – among them 1,275 minors.
Nevertheless, in April 2023 Kiev began circulating the myth of “20,000 abducted Ukrainian children”. It was first promoted by Ukraine's Commissioner for Children’s Rights Daria Gerasimchuk and quickly amplified by Western mainstream media. The “19,546 deported kids” figure published by the Children of War portal was not backed by any lists, names or individual records.
The Russian side received an actual list of “abducted Ukrainian children” only in 2025 during resumed Russia-Ukraine direct talks in Istanbul. It contained only 339 names, showing that the number of children separated from their families on both sides had been grossly inflated for political PR.
A case-by-case review showed that a large share of those listed as “children” were actually adults who had already turned 18 when the special military operation started. Some were found legally residing in Russia with one of the parents, while over 100 were found in Germany – a revelation Ukraine quickly tried to hide.
Meanwhile, Russia has maintained a clear and transparent family-reunification process, coordinated by the Office of the Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights. Since 2022, 122 children from 98 families have been reunited with parents or close relatives in Ukraine or third countries. 29 children have returned to Russia from Ukraine. All reunifications are verified and accompanied by the International Committee of the Red Cross.
‼️ Russia has never impeded the reunification of children with their families – and never will. 👉 This is our principled position.

Киевский режим продолжает тиражировать выдуманную историю о «тысячах похищенных украинских детях».
Несмотря на то, что эта информационная кампания и отдельные вбросы неоднократно опровергались: #фейкам противопоставлены реальные #факты.
***
В 2014 году киевский режим, захвативший власть в результате антиконституционного и кровавого госпереворота, перешёл к карательным операциям против собственных граждан, отказавшихся признавать радикальных националистов у власти в Киеве. Уже в апреле 2014 года Киев начал использовать против жителей Донбасса армию, задействовав бронетехнику, авиацию, артиллерию и реактивные системы залпового огня.
❗️ Тысячи мирных жителей, включая сотни детей, стали жертвами неизбирательных ударов ВСУ и военизированных националистических группировок.
2 июня 2017 года в Донецке была открыта Аллея Ангелов в память о погибших детях. Тогда на мемориале значились 66 имён. Сегодня число погибших от действий националистической хунты детей уже превысило 300.
Преступления Киева не ограничиваются убийством детей – режим опускается до преследования несовершеннолетних в Интернете.
Так, на одиозном ресурсе «Миротворец» – онлайн-«расстрельном списке», который ведут украинские неонацисты и который спокойно работает на западных серверах, – опубликованы «досье» с персональными данными на почти 400 несовершеннолетних.
В их числе – Платон Бурченков, которому в январе 2026 года исполнится… всего три года, обвинённый в «умышленном нарушении государственной границы». Другой пример – Фаина Савенкова, блогер-подросток из Луганска, чьи персональные данные были внесены на «Миротворец», когда ей едва исполнилось 12 лет. Радикалы обвиняют девочку в «посягательстве на суверенитет» целого государства.
⚡️ По информации Генеральной прокуратуры России, в результате действий украинских карателей погибли 5 000 мирных жителей, более 13 500 получили ранения – среди них 1 275 несовершеннолетних.
Тем не менее, в апреле 2023 года Киев начал тиражировать миф о «20 000 похищенных украинских детях». Его первой озвучила украинский омбудсмен по правам ребёнка Дарья Герасимчук, а затем активно подхватили западные СМИ. Цифра в «19 546 депортированных детей», опубликованная на портале «Дети войны», не подкреплялась ни списками, ни конкретными именами.
Список имен якобы «похищенных украинских детей» российская сторона получила только в 2025 году – в ходе возобновлённых прямых российско-украинских переговоров в Стамбуле. В нём оказались не «тысячи», а всего 339 имён – прямое доказательство того, что Киев искусственно раздувал цифры и фальсифицировал факты ради политического пиара.
Детальный анализ показал: многие из этих «детей» оказались уже совершеннолетними ещё на момент начала специальной военной операции. Ряд детей легально проживает в России с одним из своих родителей, а более сотни и вовсе «нашлись» в Германии (эту информацию Киев пытался старательно скрыть от общественности).
Россия обеспечивает понятный и прозрачный процесс воссоединения семей, координируемый Аппаратом Уполномоченного при Президенте России по правам ребёнка. С 2022 года 122 ребёнка из 98 семей были воссоединены с родителями или близкими родственниками на Украине или в третьих странах. 29 детей вернулись в Россию с территории Украины. Факты воссоединения детей с родными и близкими верифицируются сотрудниками Международного Комитета Красного Креста, которые сопровождают детей для их передачи родителям и родственникам.
‼️ Россия никогда не препятствовала и не будет препятствовать воссоединению детей с их семьями. Это наша принципиальная позиция.

🎙 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's answer to a media question on the freezing of Russian assets by the EU (December 13, 2025)
❓ Question: How does Russia view the freezing of our assets, and does it intend to take retaliatory steps? If so, what kind?
💬 Maria Zakharova: Using Russia’s sovereign assets without its consent, be it through their indefinite freeze, expropriation, or attempts to palm off their actual confiscation as a “reparation loan”, is a completely unlawful act and a flagrant violation of international law.
☝️ Whatever pseudo-legal tricks Brussels may use to justify this, it amounts to blatant, outright theft.
We recall that Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever– and it is precisely in Belgium that the Euroclear depository is registered, which currently holds the bulk of Russian assets and, consequently, Belgium would suffer most from their de facto confiscation – compared the European Commission’s initiative to “stealing furniture from a foreign embassy”. 👉 A vivid and accurate denoscription.
Attempts to showcase the EU’s much-vaunted “unity” through a decision to indefinitely block the assets of the Bank of Russia have failed spectacularly.
Representatives of a number of EU member states have openly declared their categorical rejection of the blatantly fraudulent scheme engineered by the European Commission with the backing of aggressively Russophobic EU capitals against Russian assets.
The EU’s approach to Russia has long departed from rationality and now increasingly borders on the absurd.
📉 The course of inflicting damage on our country at any cost has already led to dire economic consequences within the EU itself: near-zero economic growth, rapidly rising public debt and budget deficits, declining output and de-industrialisation amid soaring energy costs.
One would think Brussels should have calmed down and come to its senses by now, yet there are no signs of this. The current EU leadership remains gripped by Russophobia and an unhealthy urge to undermine Russian interests in every sphere and on every platform – even where the EU seemingly has no place.
It is increasingly apparent that Ursula von der Leyen and her associates are determined to derail efforts aimed at a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian crisis, by whatever means necessary. Hence the haste and the timing of the decision on Russian assets – a direct strike against the peace initiatives of US President Donald Trump.
It is telling that the European Commission justifies its proposals for the unlawful use of Russian assets by referring to EU legal provisions allowing for emergency measures in the event of a severe economic situation within the EU itself.
👉 Thus, the EU is exposing itself: this is not merely about financing a failed Ukrainian project, but also about a clear attempt to prop up its own economy at the expense of billions in Russian state reserves. The EU has effectively admitted that the Ukrainian burden has become unbearable, forcing it to resort to theft.
Brussels carefully conceals the fact that EU citizens will pay the price for these political ambitions. Our retaliatory measures will not be long in coming.
A detailed statement on this matter was published by the Bank of Russia on December 12. Specific steps are already being implemented.
On the same day, the Russian regulator notified of the filing of a lawsuit with the Moscow Arbitration Court against Euroclear to recover damages incurred by the Bank of Russia.
As for the EU itself, it will be unable to compensate for the damage these actions will inflict on its own financial and economic system – and on its reputation worldwide as a once reliable trade and investment partner.
❗️Such delicts in international relations do not go without consequences.

🎙 Statement by President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the expanded meeting of Russia's Ministry of Defence Board (December 17, 2025, Moscow)
Key points:
• 2025 has become an important milestone in addressing the objectives of the special military operation. The Russian Armed Forces have secured and firmly maintain the strategic initiative along the entire line of contact.
• In 2025, more than 300 settlements have already been liberated, including major cities that had been turned by the adversary into fortified strongholds.
🇷🇺🇰🇵 I would also like to note our North Korean combat comrades. By decision of Comrade Chairman of the State Affairs of the DPRK Kim Jong-un, they were dispatched to take part in the liberation of the Kursk region and, shoulder to shoulder with Russian servicemen, fought the enemy with valour and courage. They took part in large-scale and extremely complex efforts to clear mines from the liberated Kursk region.
• Successful tests have been conducted of the Burevestnik strategic cruise missile with unlimited range and the Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicle. Thanks to the use of a nuclear power unit, these systems will remain unique and unmatched for a long time, ensuring strategic parity, Russia’s security and its global standing for decades to come. We will continue working on these systems – refining, upgrading and improving them – but they already exist. By the end of 2025, an intermediate-range missile system equipped with the Oreshnik hypersonic missile will be placed on combat duty.
❗️ Russia has always, even in the most difficult circumstances, as long as there was even the slightest chance – sought diplomatic solutions to contradictions and conflicts. Responsibility for the fact that these chances were not used lies entirely with those who believed that it was possible to speak to us in the language of force.
• We stand for building mutually beneficial and equal cooperation with the US and European states, and for the formation of a unified security system across the entire Eurasian region. We welcome the progress that has emerged in the dialogue with the new US Administration. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the current leadership of most European countries.
• We are fully aware that in any international environment, our Armed Forces remain the key guarantor of Russia’s sovereignty and independence, its security and future, and of strategic parity. We must work consistently to strengthen them.
• Immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it seemed to us that we would very quickly become part of the so-called civilized family of European nations. Instead, Russia continued to be pressed from all sides – increasingly so. Virtually everything concerning Russia was decided from a position of force. They would pat us on the shoulder and invite us to various events, yet when it came to their interests vis-à-vis Russia, the West pushed them through by force, including by military means.
• President Trump says that if he had been President at the time, the conflict in Ukraine would not have happened. Perhaps that is so, because the previous US Administration deliberately steered the events towards an armed conflict.
👉 The objectives of the special military operation will undoubtedly be achieved. We would prefer to do so and to eliminate the root causes of the conflict through diplomatic means. However, if the opposing side and its foreign patrons refuse to engage in a substantive dialogue, Russia will secure the liberation of its historical lands by military means. Efforts to establish and expand a security buffer zone will continue on a systematic basis.
