🎙Выступление В.А.Небензи на заседании Совета Безопасности ООН в связи с ударами Израиля по Ирану
📍Нью-Йорк, 13 июня 2025 г.
💬В ночь на 13 июня Израиль нанес серию масштабных ударов по территории Исламской Республики Иран. Под атакой оказались спящие города, гражданская инфраструктура, а также мирные ядерные объекты, находящиеся под гарантиями Международного агентства по атомной энергии (МАГАТЭ). От докладчиков мы услышали о жертвах среди мирного населения.
Эта ничем не спровоцированная атака, как бы Израиль ни утверждал обратное, представляет собой грубое нарушение Устава ООН и норм международного права.
⚠️Создается впечатление, что руководство Израиля убеждено, что у него есть полная «свобода рук» в регионе и, видимо, полагает, что Израиль может попирать все правовые основы и подменять собой все международные структуры, включая СБ ООН и МАГАТЭ.
Российская Федерация решительно осуждает эту акцию З.Иерусалима. Его военные авантюры толкают регион на грань большой войны. Ответственность за все последствия этих действий всецело ложится на израильское руководство и тех, кто его поощряет.
***
Действия Израиля направлены на подрыв осуществляемых сейчас в различных форматах переговорных усилий по поиску решений в целях снижения напряженности вокруг иранской мирной ядерной программы.
Пока весь мир с надеждой ждет итогов очередного раунда непрямых контактов между Ираном и США, ранее запланированных на 15 июня, Израиль решил их предвосхитить в нужном ему ключе и начал бомбить ядерно-энергетическую инфраструктуру Ирана, демонстрируя пренебрежение к законам, нормам, договоренностям, правилам – всему тому, что создает основу цивилизованного взаимодействия между государствами.
***
Неспровоцированные атаки по территории суверенного Ирана, целенаправленные удары по объектам мирной ядерной инфраструктуры не могут иметь никаких оправданий.
Международное сообщество не должно и не может оставаться безучастным к подобной провокации. Попустительство таким действиям – это путь к большой войне в регионе и серьезная угроза для глобальной безопасности.
Совет Безопасности ООН обязан дать недвусмысленную правовую и политическую оценку действиям Израиля, а также призвать к немедленному прекращению любого силового давления и отказу от практики односторонних военных шагов.
👉Необходимо поддержать все дипломатические усилия, направленные на деэскалацию и возвращение к переговорам.

⚡️ Russia's Foreign Ministry Statement in connection with Israel’s strikes on Iran
Read in full
💬 We express our profound concern regarding the dangerous escalation of tensions in the Middle East.
❗️ We strongly condemn the military actions undertaken by the State of Israel on the night of June 13, which constitute a clear violation of the UN Charter as well as established principles of international law.
Unprovoked military strikes against a sovereign member state of the United Nations, against its citizens, peaceful cities, and critical nuclear energy infrastructure facilities, are totally unacceptable. The international community must not ignore such acts, which not only jeopardise peace but also undermine security both in the region and globally.
The timing of these attacks appears to be particularly cynical as they have occurred amidst a session of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and just ahead of the next round of indirect talks between representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States. These actions have drastically undermined the progress of painstaking multilateral diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions and seeking solutions to eliminate suspicions and the bias surrounding Iran’s peaceful nuclear programme.
It is evident that West Jerusalem has made a deliberate decision to further escalate the situation and raise stakes. We have warned on numerous occasions about the destabilising effects of military ventures that threaten peace and security in the region. The full responsibility for the consequences of these provocative acts lies with the Israeli leadership.
We are closely monitoring the actions by the IAEA, which carries significant responsibility in this challenging situation. IAEA personnel, alongside citizens of the Islamic Republic of Iran, have also been exposed to Israeli strikes. We expect the IAEA Director General to provide balanced and objective assessments of the current developments – in particular, a comprehensive analysis of the potential radiological consequences of the attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran.
We also hope that the Western countries, which provoked the recent wave of anti-Iran hysteria at the IAEA Board of Governors, once again pushing through a short-term resolution tailored to suit their political preferences and entrenched phobias, despite its lack of broad international support, will come to realise the dangerous consequences of their destructive approach as well as the degree of responsibility they bear for the unfolding tragedy.
☝️ We strongly believe that, regardless of any justifications that may be offered by those who planned, developed, and carried out the attacks, the issue of the Iranian nuclear programme cannot and must not be resolved by military means. A sustainable settlement is only possible through peaceful, political, and diplomatic efforts.
We sincerely hope that this understanding will ultimately prevail. We call on the parties to exercise restraint to avoid further escalation and prevent a full-scale war in the region.
In this context, we note that the US is ready to hold another round of talks with Iran on the latter’s nuclear programme in Oman.

🎥 'Shaping architecture of equal and indivisible security: challenges and opportunities for states of Global South and East' — a documentary by Russia's Security Council.
Synopsis: The global political and economic landscape is undergoing profound transformation. We are witnessing a pivotal moment in history: the unipolar world order has reached an impasse, while multipolarity has become a reality. This shift has opened a window of opportunity to establish a fairer and more democratic world order.
Among the most consequential developments in recent international affairs is the emergence of a group of countries known as the World Majority. This grouping represents not only a new force in global politics and economics but also a catalyst for reshaping the structure of international relations.
The growing influence of the Global South and East is a natural and inevitable process. Their rise reflects not only changes in economic strength but also a broader rebalancing of global power.
🌐 Spanning Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the Global South is poised to play a pivotal role in defining the future of the global economy.
The countries of the World Majority refuses to submit their foreign policies to external interests and are firmly committed to preserving their cultural identity, traditional values, and national foundations.
☝️ The development of an architecture of equal and indivisible security offers a crucial opportunity to forge more resilient trade and scientific-technological partnerships, capable of withstanding the geopolitical, economic, environmental, and other pressing challenges of our time.

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Statement in connection with the escalation of the Iranian-Israeli conflict
The current escalation of the Iranian-Israeli conflict poses risks of further destabilisation across the region, particularly in the states neighbouring Israel and Iran.
The firm and unwavering response of the global majority to Israeli strikes on Iranian territory, including its nuclear energy infrastructure, alongside the outcomes of the UN Security Council’s emergency session on June 13 and the special session of the IAEA Board of Governors on June 16, underscores that the confrontational approach and destructive actions of the Israeli leadership receive understanding and support solely from those states which are de facto accomplices, motivated by opportunistic interests.
It was precisely these “sympathisers” who exerted pressure on the leadership of the Agency to prepare a controversial “comprehensive assessment” of Iran’s nuclear programme, the flaws of which were subsequently exploited to push through a biased anti-Iran resolution at the IAEA Board of Governors on June 12. This resolution effectively provided a green light to actions by West Jerusalem, leading to tragedy. Clearly, the attempts of the Western camp to manipulate the global nuclear non-proliferation regime in order to settle political scores with disfavoured nations come at a high cost to the international community and are entirely unacceptable.
Israel’s continued, intensive attacks on peaceful nuclear facilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran are unlawful under international law, pose unacceptable threats to international security, and drive the world closer to a nuclear catastrophe – the consequences of which will be felt globally, including in Israel itself.
Russia calls on the Israeli leadership to reconsider its actions and immediately cease its raids on nuclear installations and sites under IAEA safeguards and subject to IAEA verification.
The Russian side expects the leadership of the Agency to promptly prepare a detailed written report for consideration by the IAEA Board of Governors and the UN Security Council. This report must provide objective and unvarnished assessments of the damage caused by Israeli military actions to the safety of Iran’s nuclear energy complex, as well as to the application of IAEA safeguards in Iran – including the intimidation of inspectors on the ground, whose lives have been placed in grave danger.
❗️ Russia acknowledges Iran’s clear statements reaffirming its unwavering commitment to obligations under the NPT and its readiness to resume contacts with the United States to explore potential solutions that would dispel any unfounded suspicions and prejudices regarding Tehran’s nuclear programme – provided Israeli attacks cease. Moscow supports this stance and firmly maintains that a sustainable resolution can only be reliably achieved through diplomacy and negotiations.
The objectives of nuclear non-proliferation, the cornerstone of which remains the NPT, must not be pursued through aggression or at the cost of innocent lives.

🗓 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin met with Dilma Rousseff, President of the BRICS New Development Bank on the sidelines of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum (June 18, 2025)
💬 Vladimir Putin: Ms Rousseff, colleagues, friends.
I am very glad to see you here, and first of all I want to congratulate you on your re-election to the position of the head of the New Development Bank.
This means that all members of the bank highly appreciate your work. Indeed, recently, the NDB has approved and financed approximately 120 projects worth $39 billion.
Of course, there are issues that require special attention. I mean the expansion of the possibility of settlements in national currencies, and further joint efforts to create a digital platform for settlements and investments.
At the last summit of BRICS leaders, we also talked about this in detail. I am aware that you also support all these initiatives, and I really hope that we will work together in these areas.
We are very glad to see you at the Economic Forum in St Petersburg. Welcome!

🗓 Excerpts from Russian President Vladimir Putin's remarks and Q&A at a meeting with heads of the world’s leading news agencies on the sidelines of SPIEF-2025 (June 19, 2025)
Key statements:
• It is evident that the current crisis in relations between Russia and Western Europe effectively began in 2014. However, the issue is not that Russia, as it were, incorporated Crimea, but rather that Western countries facilitated a coup d’état in Ukraine.
• Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, our Western partners have always acted from a position of strength, at the very least. Because the post-World War II international order was based on a balance of forces among the victors. But then one of the victors ceased to exist – the Soviet Union disintegrated. And that was it – the West began rewriting all these rules to suit themselves.
• We do not view NATO’s rearmament as a threat to the Russian Federation. Our security is fully self-reliant, and we are continuously enhancing both our Armed Forces and our overall defence capabilities. Whatever actions NATO takes inevitably pose certain risks, but we will effectively counter any threats that may emerge; there is no doubt about that.
• For centuries, the notion of a threat from Russia has periodically resurfaced in the West. Western elites have long found it convenient to invoke this perceived threat as a tool for shaping domestic policy. By pointing to an imagined danger from the East, they could justify extracting more funds from taxpayers and deflect blame for their own economic mistakes.
• This myth that Russia plans to attack Europe or NATO countries is an absurd fabrication that Western European societies are being told to believe. We understand how ridiculous this is. And those spreading this lie do not actually believe it themselves. Do you? Does anyone here genuinely believe that Russia is preparing to attack NATO? What nonsense.
• Everyone understands it is absurd. But people are being misled to justify inflated defence budgets – 3.5 percent, 5 percent of GDP – and to distract from failures in the economy and social sphere. Germany, for example, the leading economy in the European Union, is teetering on the edge of recession.
• So, if NATO countries choose to further increase their defence spending, that is their decision. But it won’t benefit anyone. On the contrary, it will only increase risks. <...> I believe it is irrational and pointless. There is no threat coming from Russia – none at all.

Whatever actions NATO takes inevitably pose certain risks, but we will effectively counter any threats that may emerge; there is no doubt about that.
• For centuries, the notion of a threat from Russia has periodically resurfaced in the West. Western elites have long found it convenient to invoke this perceived threat as a tool for shaping domestic policy. By pointing to an imagined danger from the East, they could justify extracting more funds from taxpayers and deflect blame for their own economic mistakes.
• This myth that Russia plans to attack Europe or NATO countries is an absurd fabrication that Western European societies are being told to believe. We understand how ridiculous this is. And those spreading this lie do not actually believe it themselves. Do you? Does anyone here genuinely believe that Russia is preparing to attack NATO? What nonsense.
• Everyone understands it is absurd. But people are being misled to justify inflated defence budgets – 3.5 percent, 5 percent of GDP – and to distract from failures in the economy and social sphere. Germany, for example, the leading economy in the European Union, is teetering on the edge of recession.
• So, if NATO countries choose to further increase their defence spending, that is their decision. But it won’t benefit anyone. On the contrary, it will only increase risks. <...> I believe it is irrational and pointless. There is no threat coming from Russia – none at all.

#SPIEF2025 📊 📊 📊 📊
🎙 Russia's President Vladimir Putin took part in the plenary session of the 28th St Petersburg International Economic Forum.
President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto, National Security Advisor, Commander of the Royal Guard of the Kingdom of Bahrain Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Vice Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China Ding Xuexiang, and Deputy President of the Republic of South Africa Paul Mashatile also attended the session.
Key statements:
💬 Despite a challenging international landscape, Russia’s GDP has been demonstrating an annual growth rate of over four percent over the past two years, which is above the global average.
• Commodities no longer play a defining role in Russia’s economic growth patterns. In 2023, Russia’s non-oil-and-gas GDP increased by 7.2 percent, followed by an additional 4.9 percent in 2024. These are solid figures exceeding the overall GDP growth rates.
• Our strategic vector is precisely to actively and consistently transform the structure of the national economy, step by step. We have achieved a great deal in this area, but it is clear that moving forward is critically important, especially in light of the dramatic changes taking place in the world.
• Annual inflation has already dropped to single-digit levels below ten percent. As of June 16, it stood at 9.6 percent. Of course, that is still high, but inflation targeting continues.
• Over the past four years, employment in Russia has grown by 2.4 million people. Since October last year, the national unemployment rate has stabilised at around 2.3 percent, reaching a historic low.
• In terms of youth unemployment, Russia ranks among the best globally, with a rate of approximately seven and a half percent.
For comparison, youth unemployment stands at around 16 percent in France and 11 percent in the United Kingdom.
• Russia’s economy must become more technologically advanced. We must fully unleash a new phase of the country’s technological development. The key instrument in this regard should be the national projects aimed at securing technological leadership.

🎙 Russia's President Vladimir Putin answers to questions from the discussion moderator, journalist, General Manager and presenter at Sky News Arabia Nadim Koteich following his remarks at the plenary session of the 28th St Petersburg International Economic Forum
Key statements:
💬 Everything that Russia is doing is aimed at uniting the efforts of all our partners, friends, and everybody who wants to work with Russia to address these global civilisational challenges.
• The so-called G7’s share in the global economy has shrunk in recent years. It continues to shrink year after year. And look how the share of BRICS countries is growing. This is an objective process, independent of any clashes or acute armed conflicts worldwide. This process has continued for decades.
• The new world order is emerging naturally, like sunrise. It is inevitable, there is no escaping it. Our role is to help shape its contours, perhaps clearing the way for this process to become more balanced and aligned with the interests of the overwhelming majority of countries.
• The Russian Federation has consistently advocated for guaranteeing every nation’s security without compromising that of any other state. This remains our principled approach.
• Our objective is not Ukraine’s unconditional surrender. We insist that the reality 'on the ground' is recognized
• Experience and reality demonstrate that many states of the region maintain in some ways complex and in some ways stable relations with both Israel and Iran. <...> I am convinced that a mutually acceptable solution can be found. Countries of the Global South, especially countries of the region, can undoubtedly have a positive influence on this process, on this search for solution. I believe such a solution exists.
