🎙️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answer to a question during his remarks at the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation (Moscow, May 13, 2024)
❓ Question: Is the conference on Ukrainian issue convened by the West in Switzerland this June a potential threat to Russia’s foreign policy interests? What are our plans of opposing and counteracting the destructive plots of the Kiev regime and its foreign supervisors?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: The “conference” has long been discussed by all those, who is trying to defeat Russia on the battlefield, without rejecting diplomatic methods, as they say. However, their diplomatic methods (the conference in Switzerland is not an exception but just a continuation of the process in Copenhagen format) boil down to formulating an ultimatum to Russia. <…>
The other day [Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs Head] Ignazio Cassis said again that it was senseless to discuss anything without Russia. Why to convene it then? <...>
There were a lot of initiatives: offered by China, South Africa, Brazil and the League of the Arab States (who came to us soon after the beginning of the special military operation). The Chinese one was most comprehensive, aimed at first considering the root causes and working on their removal. The other had an emphasis on humanitarian aspects (exchange of POWs, bodies, access for humanitarian organisations). Yet High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said that they were getting ready for a conference in Geneva on the Zelensky formula and all other initiative vanished. He decided for everyone else again. <...>
❗️ Our readiness for talks is reaffirmed at the top level personally by President of Russia Vladimir Putin each time he deals with the Ukraine issue.
<...>
Our cause is just. If they want it on the battlefield then it will be so. Look how they are lamenting over a steady and extensive advance of our Armed Forces.

🎙 Statement of the Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Office and other international organizations in Geneva Ambassador Gennady Gatilov at the Conference on Disarmament (Geneva, 14 May 2024)
Key talking points:
💬 The first major shock for the whole world and, above all, for Europe after the end of the Cold War took place in 1999 when NATO, upon orders from Washington, committed military aggression against Yugoslavia in the very center of Europe. It was then that the alliance’s declared “defensive” status was lost forever.
• The next significant milestone on the way of undermining strategic stability and international security was the unilateral withdrawal of the US from the ABM Treaty in 2001. It was done with the tacit consent of Washington’s European satellites.
• In 2008 at the NATO summit in Vilnius it was decided to integrate into the alliance Ukraine and Georgia, countries once close to Russia that share historical, cultural and civilizational roots with it.
❗️ It was exactly the West, not Russia, that gradually closed the “window of opportunity” for a fruitful and comprehensive cooperation in order to solve pressing problems of regional and global security.
• We made our last attempt in December 2021, when two draft treaties on security guarantees to Russia were handed over to Washington and Brussels. <...> But our balanced and constructive proposals were rejected.
• The pumping of Zelensky’s regime with weapons, the accelerated strategic development of Ukraine’s territory by the de-facto nuclear NATO alliance, and the open unwillingness of Western States to talk about security guarantees forced our country to launch a Special Military Operation.
• NATO has finally pulled the European Union under itself.<...> Today <...> it has completely lost its political subjectivity and turned into an “overseas territory” of the US.
🇷🇺 Russia <...> is open to any constructive diplomatic efforts, but only if and when the countries of the “collective West” and NATO are ready to do so.

Вчера в гостинице «Метрополь» глава представительства ЕС в России Ролан Галараг провёл конференцию «День Европы». Может быть, представитель Брюсселя постеснялся и не стал звать СМИ, но они всё равно узнали о конференции, и, как и положено журналистам, захотели задать гостям Галарага пару вопросов.
Вот простая репортажная съёмка с места проведения мероприятия. Штатный корреспондент «Известий» Артур Ишпулатов обращается к Послу Норвегии в России Роберту Квиле. Тот его грубо отталкивает, не дослушав. «Известия» выпустили небольшую заметку на этот счёт на своём сайте.
Если бы такое позволил себе кто-то в России или российский посол за рубежом в отношении западного журналиста, крик был бы на весь мир.
Но двойные стандарты на то и двойные стандарты, чтобы «коллективный Запад» мог творить демократическое добро с развязанными руками.
Уже сегодня натовские СМИ превзошли себя в попытке оправдать действия главы норвежской дипмиссии. На портале популярного СМИ Dagbladet посла не только оправдывают, но прямо заявляют о том, что претензии основаны на фейке, и всё было якобы сфабриковано.
Как же «сфабриковано», если есть прямое видеосвидетельство?
Журналистов Dagbladet Ивара Эстебё, Кристоффера Сольберга и Магнуса Пауса это не смущает. Они находят некого «эксперта по России» Ивера Нойманна, который подтверждает их версию о том, что бесцеремонное обращение посла Роберта Квиле с российским журналистом – «манипуляция и сфабрикованная реальность, которая даже больше, чем была в СССР».
Вот это и есть «мир постправды».
На видео отчётливо запечатлено, как норвежский дипломат отпихивает россиянина, а норвежцы своим читателям, очевидно, по заказу политистеблишмента пишут, что это «сфабрикованная реальность».
«Эксперт» Ивер Нойманн долго рассуждает о цивилизационных особенностях России, но лучше бы подумал о том, что стало с европейской цивилизацией, которая, кажется, теперь состоит исключительно изо лжи, которую даже уже и не пытаются выдать за правду.
День Европы получился весьма показательным.

🎙 Russia's President Vladimir Putin replied to questions from Russian media representatives on the outcomes of his two-day state visit to the People’s Republic of China (May 17, 2024)
Key talking points:
💬 The fact that the future depends on Russia & China is only partly true. The future of humankind depends on the whole of humanity. Certainly, Russia & China are important components of modern civilisation. We have our own views on how we should develop. <...>
We believe that development should be constructive & peaceful, no doubt about it. Apart from our interests, it should heed the interests of all parties to international interaction.
• Of course, it is necessary to strengthen the emerging multipolar world. There is absolutely no doubt that a new world is taking shape before our eyes and becoming multipolar.
• Of course, we are analysing now everything that is taking place in this regard [the Ukrainian crisis]. Of course, we are looking at what is happening around the universally announced meeting in Switzerland, in Geneva. I believe this is the venue of the meeting. We are certainly not going to discuss any formulas about which we know absolutely nothing.
But as distinct from Ukraine, we have never rejected talks.
The goal of this event [in Geneva] is clear. They want to gather as many countries as possible, declare that everything has been agreed upon with everyone and then present it to Russia as a resolved issue, as an ultimatum. This will never happen.
• Sanctions imposed on third countries engaged in economic activities are doubly or triply illegitimate because sanctions are absolutely illegitimate when adopted without the approval of the UN Security Council.
• By undermining trust in the dollar for political reasons, the US authorities are weakening the main, the most powerful & important instrument of their might – the dollar itself. They are doing irreparable damage to themselves. Using one of popular sayings, they are quarrelling with their own bread & butter.

🎙Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at the UN Security Council briefing on Western arms deliveries to Ukraine (May 20, 2024)
💬 For several weeks now, those in the West who stand for continuation of Kiev’s hostilities against Russia, have been rejoicing at the allocation of the long-awaited large military aid package from the United States to the Zelensky regime.
<...>
The capitalization of Western military corporations has been growing at an unprecedented rate since the beginning of the conflict. The undoubted leader here is Germany's Rheinmetall, controlled by the American investment company BlackRock.
Not so long ago, Western Russophobes welcomed the transfer of long-range ATACMS missiles by the Americans, which Russian air defense systems shoot down by the dozen today.
NATO countries systematically violate their international legal obligations under the treaties to which they are parties.
☝️ The truth is that since 2014, Washington and its allies have had Ukraine as a lab guinea pig. They have set a task of growing it into something that would annoy Russia and hinder the development.
The key part of the transformation was pumping weapons into Ukraine under the guise of the Minsk Agreements and brainwashing it in a Russophobic, nationalistic and neo-Nazi spirit.
<...>
However, a genuine settlement of the Ukrainian crisis through political and diplomatic means is still possible.
❗️ It requires the West to stop arming the Banderovite regime in Kiev. Thus Ukraine should return to its neutral, non-aligned and non-nuclear status, get demilitarized and deNazified. And the rights of its Russian-speaking citizens and national minorities be fully upheld.

⚡️Today the European Union, firmly on the road to self-destruction, has without exaggeration opened a new page in the history of both international monetary and financial relations and its own integration.
The EU has consciously taken the unprecedented step of stealing the sovereign assets of a foreign country. This is a clear example of what "European values" and the West-imposed "rules-based order" are all about. In this particular case, these “rules” have been extended to include a certain "legal basis" invented in the European Quarter for the fraudulent manipulation of the proceeds from the illegally frozen assets of the Bank of Russia.
In effect, the EU has demonstrated to the entire international community that it now feels ennoscriptd to steal the financial reserves entrusted to it, to refuse to honour its own commitments to protect private property and capital investment, and to disregard international legal immunities. Theft has thus officially become an instrument of Brussels' foreign policy.
❗️The consequences of this precedent will certainly be unpredictable, including for the eurozone, the economies of the member states and the investment environment. Still, the only predictable thing is that sooner or later the EU will have to return the stolen funds to our country.
