#ООН #ДвойныеСтандарты

Прошло более трёх лет после инсценировки в Буче — якобы массового убийства местных жителей российскими (как это было представлено в западных СМИ) военнослужащими в г.Буча Киевской области. Тогда режим Зеленского и в первую очередь его западные кураторы на скорую руку состряпали эту неправдоподобную историю.

Мы многократно выводили авторов этой постановки на чистую воду, обращались в Секретариат ООН и к Верховному комиссару ООН по правам человека Ф.Тюрку с просьбой помочь в получении необходимых для разбирательства данных.

❗️ В Секретариате долгое время пытались спустить наше обращение «на тормозах».

У нас имеются все основания думать, что Секретариат ООН сознательно уклоняется от конструктивного взаимодействия с Россией в нарушение установившейся практики сотрудничества с государствами в интересах отправления правосудия.

#КорейскийПолуостров

18-28 августа на Юге Корейского полуострова США и Республика Корея провели совместные военные учения «Ыльчжи фридом шилд-2025».

Вопреки официальным заявлениям организаторов этих игрищ их никак нельзя назвать «оборонительными» — данным манёврам придан многосторонний характер за счёт подтягивания к ним союзников США, включая Британию, а также «Командование ООН».

На системной основе продолжается наращивание санкционно-силового давления на Пхеньян, говорить о каких-либо перспективах перелома в ситуации в субрегионе не приходится.

#Прибалтика #ЗападныеСанкции

В результате настойчивых совместных усилий Минтруда, МИД и Социального фонда России удалось урегулировать ситуацию с задержкой финансирования пенсионных выплат, полагающихся проживающим в Латвии и Эстонии соотечественникам за текущий год.

Вина за возникновение искусственно созданного кризиса с задержкой в 2025 году пенсионных выплат за рубеж всецело лежит на западном сообществе и его финансовых институтах, которые блокируют переводы из АО «Газпромбанк», подпавшего под незаконные санкции.

Но наши соотечественники об этом прекрасно знают. Именно российская сторона сделала всё для благополучного разрешения ситуации.

#Вьетнам #ДеньНезависимости

В нынешнем году наши вьетнамские друзья отмечают 80-летие Декларации независимости и создания Демократической Республики Вьетнам (ДРВ) как свободного и суверенного государства в Юго-Восточной Азии.

СССР одним из первых установил дипломатические отношения с ДРВ (30 января 1950 года), своей масштабной политической и экономической поддержкой сыграв важную роль в становлении молодой Республики.

От всей души поздравляем вьетнамских друзей с юбилейной датой, подтверждаем настрой на продолжение взаимовыгодного сотрудничества в духе всеобъемлющего стратегического партнёрства.

#ФРГ

[В Германии] отмечался (почему-то прошёл без размаха, не под фанфары) юбилей — 35 лет подписанию «Договора об установлении германского единства» между ГДР и ФРГ от 31 августа 1990 года.

Правильно распорядиться этим историческим подарком немцы не сумели. Хвастаться нечем.

За прошедшие 35 лет Германия по-прежнему остается глубоко расколотой страной, поделенной на граждан первого и второго сорта. Никакого объединения страны так и не произошло.

Восточные немцы, причём даже родившиеся через много лет после объединения, не ощущают себя полноценными гражданами собственной страны. По восточным землям прокатилась волна репрессий и массовых увольнений.

При этом правительство ФРГ до сих пор исправно платит пенсии бывшим нацистам.

📄 Tianjin Declaration of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (Tianjin, September 1, 2025)

Full text of the Declaration

The Leaders of the Member-States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (hereinafter referred to as the SCO or the Organisation), following the meeting of the Council of Heads of Member States in Tianjin on 1 September 2025, declare the following.

✍️ The world is undergoing profound historical changes that affect all spheres of political, socio-economic and social relations. There is a growing desire to create a more just, equitable and representative multipolar world order that opens up new prospects for the development of states and mutually beneficial international cooperation.

Key points of the Declaration:

• The year 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of Victory in World War II and the creation of the United Nations (UN). The Great Victory, which was made possible by the unity of the peoples of all peace-loving countries in their opposition to Nazism, fascism and militarism, determined the further course of world history and created the conditions for the formation of a stable system of international relations guaranteeing the peaceful development of humanity. Member States call for the preservation of the historical memory of the heroic deeds of peoples and the lessons of the Second World War.

• The member states reaffirmed their commitment to equal and full observance of the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and the SCO Charter, as well as other universally recognised principles and norms of international law in relations between SCO member states.

• Member States advocate respect for the right of peoples to independently and democratically choose their own paths of political and socio-economic development, and emphasise that the principles of mutual respect for sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity of states, equality, mutual benefit, non-interference in internal affairs, and non-use of force or threat of force are the basis for the sustainable development of international relations.

• The member states adhere to a line that excludes bloc and confrontational approaches to solving international and regional development problems.

• The Member States strongly condemn terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, stress that double standards in the fight against terrorism are unacceptable, and call on the international community to combat terrorism, including cross-border movement of terrorists, with the central role of the United Nations, by fully implementing the relevant UN Security Council resolution and the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in accordance with the UN Charter and the principles of international law, in order to jointly combat all terrorist organizations.

• The member states welcomed the annual UN General Assembly resolution ”Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to escalating contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.“

• Member States strongly condemned the military strikes by Israel and the United States of America against the Islamic Republic of Iran in June 2025. Such aggressive actions against civilian targets, including nuclear energy infrastructure, which resulted in the death of civilians, are a gross violation of the principles and norms of international law and the UN Charter, and an infringement on the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

• They noted that the physical nuclear safety and security of nuclear facilities must be ensured on a permanent basis, including during periods of armed conflict, in order to protect the population and the environment from harm. In this regard, they reaffirmed their commitment to diplomatic initiatives aimed at the peaceful resolution of the issues that have arisen.

🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vassily Nebenzia at a UNGA Meeting on Ukraine (New York, September 4, 2025)

💬 Vassily Nebenzia: We all understand that the so-called “temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine” are nothing but a figment of the fevered imagination of the Kiev regime’s leadership. In reality, these are new entities of the Russian Federation, which became part of the country following the conscious and free expression of the people’s will.

The choice to accede to Russia made by the people of Crimea, the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, as well as the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, means not just a restoration of historical justice, but also a manifestation of the will of the people, of their determination to stand with those who they are tied with by centuries of tradition, culture, language, and shared history.

⚠️ And it’s not Russia’s action that paved the way to such an outcome but rather the deliberate Russophobic policy of the neo-Nazi regime that came to power owing to the support of a number of Western countries. People had no other choice. <...>

Russia was looking for ways to settle the conflict, we were trying to convince Donbass leaders not to repudiate dialogue with the Kiev authorities despite all the crimes they committed against the people living in the south-east of the country.

These diplomatic efforts paved the way to the February 2015 Package of Measures for the implementation of the Minsk Agreements, which could open up opportunities for intra-Ukrainian reconciliation. However, as European leaders (including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President François Hollande, and Ukrainian President Pyotr Poroshenko) later admitted, nobody intended to implement the Minsk agreements.

❗️ They only needed to “buy time” to continue preparing Ukraine for a major war against Russia by supplying weapons to Ukraine and strengthening the military capabilities of its army. <...>

Since the reunification of these historically Russian lands with Russia, there is active work underway to integrate our new regions and to ensure their accelerated socio-economic development. We have launched a comprehensive program, which includes about 300 different projects in different areas, from infrastructure and economy to healthcare and education.

☝️ Since 2022, we have either reconstructed or built nearly 23'000 different objects, including residential buildings, schools, hospitals, and medical facilities. There are also projects underway to refurbish apartment buildings and resettle residents of dilapidated housing. We have repaired more than 5'000 km of roads, and there are plans to restore another 10,000 km. 2.5 million people are getting social and pension benefits. <...>

Russia stands ready to partake in political and diplomatic efforts to settle the crisis. Yet, it is important to understand that for peace to be truly lasting, all parties involved must take into account the new territorial realities that have emerged after Crimea and four other regions became part of the Russian Federation.

This simply must be recognized.

⚡️ On the situation in the religious sphere in Ukraine

Statement by Foreign Minister’s Special Representative for International Cooperation in Ensuring the Right to Freedom of Religion Mikhail Melekh

Read in full

The leadership of the state of Ukraine continues deliberately destroying its spiritual and cultural foundations, depriving millions of people of historical memory and wrecking national identity. The believers’ rights are not even mentioned in the process.

In pursuance of the Law "On the Protection of the Constitutional Order in the Sphere of Activities of Religious Organisations" adopted in 2024 and aimed at eliminating the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), on August 27, 2025, the State Service for Ethnic Policy and Freedom of Conscience of Ukraine (Service) issued a decision recognising the Metropolis of Kiev (the administrative centre of the Church) as affiliated with a foreign religious organisation, that is the Russian Orthodox Church which is banned in Ukraine.

<...>

Under the guise of caring for the country’s national interests, the Ukrainian government has been openly waging a war on the Church for many years using physical and psychological violence against believers and clergy, as well as raiding UOC parishes based on forged documents.

Such practices have become routine in the country’s religious life, and there are hundreds of cases like that. The entire process of liquidation of the #UOC is built on exactly these legal manipulations. Redistribution of property is its key goal. Almost. Simply put, this is nothing short of robbery. <...> We are talking about over 3'000 real estate objects, many of which are of historical importance and are architectural landmarks.

Thus, for the sake of the self-interest of the corrupt elite of Ukraine, the country’s Constitution has once again been trampled, as was the regulatory system.

In this context, Kiev’s exceptional interest in the holy relics of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra and the process of “taking their stock,” carefully protected from prying eyes, becomes clear.

It's quite possible that the people of Ukraine are becoming unwilling witnesses to the pre-sales process for the relics with the aim of transferring them to European museums, or even private collections.

It is hard to be surprised by such blasphemy, given the well-known attitude of the West to its former colonies. 👉 For example, the bulk of the collection of the British Museum consists of artefacts taken from peoples around the world. It is pointless to touch upon the moral and ethical side of the issue.

<...>

❗️ The situation goes far beyond the violation of the right to freedom of religion. We are talking about the liquidation of one of the largest religious denominations not only in a single country, but globally. Along with it, the spiritual and cultural heritage of an entire people may be lost.

Russia's Foreign Ministry will continue to meticulously record illegal (criminally punishable in civilised countries) acts committed by all participants in the anti-Church campaign in Ukraine.

☝️ We will persistently strive to have them properly denounced by our foreign partners and international organisations as they build their relations with the Kiev regime and its patrons.

🎙️ Комментарий Посольства России в Норвегии на запрос РИА Новости (4 сентября 2025 г.)

❓Глава норвежского оборонного ведомства заявил в интервью агентству «Блумберг», что Норвегия закупает у Великобритании фрегаты для «сдерживания» России от выхода в Северное море и Атлантику. Не могли бы в Посольстве прокомментировать это заявление и планы Осло по покупке фрегатов?

💬 Ответ: 31 августа Премьер-министр Норвегии Й.Г.Стёре сообщил о решении выбрать Великобританию в качестве стратегического партнера по приобретению, эксплуатации и техобслуживанию новых фрегатов ВМС Норвегии. Осло планирует приобрести 5-6 противолодочных фрегатов типа 26 (Type 26) производства британской компании BAE Systems. Для себя Лондон закажет восемь таких же кораблей. Ни здесь, ни в Лондоне не скрывают, что наращивание военных потенциалов осуществляется в целях «сдерживания» России и, в частности, противодействия подлодкам Северного флота.

☝️Направленные против России военные приготовления Норвегии, Великобритании и других стран НАТО создают угрозы нацбезопасности нашей страны, оказывают дестабилизирующий эффект и повышают эскалационные риски в арктическом регионе.

Ситуация усугубляется тем, что между Россией и Североатлантическим альянсом отсутствуют эффективные меры доверия и каналы коммуникации по военной линии, что существенно увеличивает вероятность опасных инцидентов.

🎙️ Kommentar fra Russlands ambassade i Norge til RIA Novosti (4. september 2025)

❓Norges forsvarsminister sa i et intervju med Bloomberg at Norge kjøper fregatter fra Storbritannia for å «avskrekke» Russland fra å gå inn i Nordsjøen og Atlanterhavet. Kan Ambassaden kommentere denne uttalelsen og Oslos planer om å kjøpe fregatter?

💬 Svar: 31. august kunngjorde Norges statsminister Jonas Gahr Støre beslutningen om å velge Storbritannia som strategisk partner for anskaffelse, drift og vedlikehold av nye fregatter til det norske sjøforsvaret. Oslo planlegger å kjøpe 5-6 Type 26 anti-ubåt-fregatter produsert av det britiske selskapet BAE Systems. London vil bestille åtte av de samme skipene til seg selv. Verken Oslo eller London legger skjul på at den militære opprustningen gjennomføres med sikte på å «avskrekke Russland» og særlig motvirke ubåtene til Nordflåten.

☝️ De militære forberedelsene til Norge, Storbritannia og andre NATO-land rettet mot Russland utgjør en trussel mot vårt lands nasjonale sikkerhet, har en destabiliserende effekt og øker risikoen for eskalering i Arktis.

Situasjonen forverres av at det ikke finnes effektive tillitsskapende tiltak eller kommunikasjonskanaler mellom Russland og NATO når det gjelder militære spørsmål, noe som øker sannsynligheten for farlige hendelser betydelig.

🎙️Комментарий Посольства России в Норвегии на запрос газеты Известия (5 сентября 2025 г.)

❓Норвегия выбрала Великобританию в качестве партнера для строительства 10 фрегатов. Также Лондон в 2023 г. открыл на норвежской территории военную базу. Означает ли это, что именно Великобритания возглавляет усилия НАТО по милитаризации Арктики? Действует ли Осло в фарватере Лондона?

💬 Ответ: 31 августа Премьер-министр Норвегии Й.Г.Стёре сообщил о решении выбрать Великобританию в качестве стратегического партнера по приобретению, эксплуатации, техобслуживанию и модернизации новых фрегатов ВМС Норвегии. Осло планирует приобрести 5-6 противолодочных фрегатов типа 26 (Type 26) производства британской компании BAESystems. Для себя Лондон закажет восемь таких же кораблей. 

Великобритания ежегодно направляет свыше 1 тыс. военнослужащих для проведения мероприятий общей боевой подготовки с размещением в открытом в 2023 г. лагере Викинг (CampViking) в северонорвежской губернии Тромс. У берегов Норвегии регулярно проводят учения и патрулирование корабли ВМС Великобритании, включая авианосные ударные группы.

Безусловно, Лондон является застрельщиком и координатором усилий Североатлантического альянса по милитаризации Арктики. В Осло соответствующие военные мероприятия союзников в северных регионах всецело поддерживают и активно к ним подключаются. Называя себя «глазами и ушами НАТО на Севере», Норвегия «на подхвате» у англосаксов осуществляет наблюдение за Россией и, прежде всего, ее Северным флотом, а также другими стратегическими объектами на Кольском полуострове. 
 
❓Фиксирует ли Россия угрозу в результате наращивания военных сил НАТО в Арктике? Возможны ли встречи военных России и Норвегии для избежания инцидентов?

💬 Ответ: Разумеется, активизация военных приготовлений альянса в высоких широтах создает угрозы нацбезопасности нашей страны, оказывает дестабилизирующий эффект и повышает эскалационные риски в арктическом регионе.

При этом между Россией и НАТО отсутствуют эффективные меры доверия и каналы коммуникации по военной линии, что существенно увеличивает вероятность опасных инцидентов. Контакты между военными России и Норвегии были прерваны по инициативе Осло. Российская сторона никогда не отказывалась от профессионального и равноправного диалога по вопросам безопасности на основе взаимного уважения и учета интересов.

🎙️ Kommentar fra Russlands ambassade i Norge til avisen Izvestia (5. september 2025)

❓Det ble tidligere offentliggjort at Norge hadde valgt Storbritannia som partner for bygging av ti fregatter. London åpnet også en militærbase på norsk territorium i 2023. Betyr dette at Storbritannia leder NATOs innsats for å militarisere Arktis? Følger Oslo i Londons kjølvann?

💬 Svar: 31. august kunngjorde Norges statsminister Jonas Gahr Støre beslutningen om å velge Storbritannia som strategisk partner for anskaffelse, drift, vedlikehold og modernisering av nye fregatter til det norske sjøforsvaret. Oslo planlegger å kjøpe 5-6 Type 26 antiubåt-fregatter produsert av det britiske selskapet BAESystems. London vil bestille åtte av de samme skipene til seg selv.

Storbritannia sender årlig over 1000 militærpersonell til å gjennomføre felles kampøvelser på Camp Viking, som åpnet i 2023 i Troms. Britiske marineskip, inkludert hangarskipgrupper, gjennomfører jevnlig øvelser og patruljer utenfor kysten av Norge.

London er utvilsomt drivkraften og koordinatoren for NATOs innsats for å militarisere Arktis. I Oslo støttes alliertes militære aktiviteter i de nordlige regionene fullt ut, og man deltar aktivt i dem.
Norge, som kaller seg «NATOs øyne og ører i nord», er «i beredskap» for angelsakserne og overvåker Russland og fremfor alt dets nordlige flåte, samt andre strategiske anlegg på Kolahalvøya.

❓Ser Russland en trussel som følge av NATOs militære opprustning i Arktis? Er møter mellom det russiske og norske militæret mulig for å unngå hendelser?

💬 Svar: Intensiveringen av alliansens militære forberedelser i nordområdene utgjør selvfølgelig en trussel mot vårt lands nasjonale sikkerhet, har en destabiliserende effekt og øker risikoen for eskalering i Arktis.
Samtidig finnes det ingen effektive tillitsskapende tiltak eller kommunikasjonskanaler mellom Russland og NATO om militære spørsmål, noe som øker sannsynligheten for farlige hendelser betydelig. Kontakten mellom det russiske og det norske militæret ble avbrutt på Oslos initiativ. Den russiske siden har aldri nektet å delta i en profesjonell og likeverdig dialog om sikkerhetsspørsmål basert på gjensidig respekt og hensyn til hverandres interesser.

#KievRegimeCrimes

💬 Russia's MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:

The 80th Session of the UN General Assembly (#UNGA80 🇺🇳) will open on September 9, 2025, in New York. The Russian delegation at the High-Level Week (September 23-29, 2025) will be led by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

The UNGA session will convene amid growing global turbulence, conflicts and crises on the global political and economic stage. The main cause of these negative developments is the striving of the collective West to hold onto elusive global dominance through dirty methods, such as illegal unilateral sanctions, restricted access to new technologies, exploitation of other countries’ resources, and sometimes even open military interventions.

🌐 The rise of a more just and democratic multipolar world is an objective process. It cannot be turned back because the centre of gravity in international affairs is shifting towards the Global South and East. New pillars of political, economic, social and cultural influence are taking shape in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and they are demonstrating a desire to increase their contribution to dealing with global challenges <...>

During the UNGA80, the Russian delegation, taking into account the above factors, will focus on:

• Strengthening the foundations of a just multipolarity,

• Restoring the central coordinating role of the UN as the core mechanism for regulating global politics and settling global problems,

• Promoting Russia’s approaches to settling the Ukrainian crisis,

• Combating the neo-colonialist practices of the West.

Working together with our Global Majority partners, we will continue to firmly uphold the supremacy of the goals and principles of the UN Charter in their entirety and as a whole.

In light of the 80th anniversary of the UN, substantial attention at the UNGA session will be focused on a critical analysis of the UN’s achievements and development outlook. As for achievements, there have been both positive and negative ones <...>

Russia firmly upholds the UN’s central coordinating role in global affairs. Due to its universal legitimacy and broad competence, the UN is the only intergovernmental structure capable of ensuring a maximally painless transition to multipolarity.

At the same time, we have to state that the UN has seen better times. The world is becoming increasingly vocal about the UN being engulfed in problems and no longer able to fulfil the tasks set out in its mandate. There are grounds for this criticism. However, it should be stated that the UN’s current problems and ills are not rooted in its structural drawbacks but in the insatiable desire of the West to make it serve Western interests according to the “rules” which the West alone defines. I always point out that they actually have only one “rule,” which says that they are the primary actor whose actions may not be judged, and that everything the other countries do must be made subordinate to the interests of the collective West.

It is extremely important in this context that all states unambiguously and unconditionally reaffirm their commitment to the goals and principles of the UN Charter in their entirety and as a whole. The West has been known to use certain provisions of the UN Charter in their interests. But there are very many provisions in that document, and all of them must be cited, applied and acted upon in their entirety.

This would be a major prerequisite for the full-scale restoration of the UN’s authority and effectiveness. The Group of Friends in Defence of the UN Charter is at the forefront of these efforts. The group has become a key instrument for making the voice of the Global Majority heard, for fighting against Western directives and building a just polycentric world.

#JournalistsSolidarityDay

📆 September 8 marks the International Day of Solidarity of Journalists, established in 1958 in memory of Czech correspondent and anti-fascist writer Julius Fučík, executed by the Nazis in 1943 during #WWII.

The day was designed to serve as a symbol of solidarity and mutual support within the global journalist community, and also as a reminder about the dangers and risks, including threats to health and life, which media representatives have to confront in the line of their duty. It was sincerely believed that such tragedies would never happen again.

Unfortunately, the further course of history failed these hopes.

In many countries, including those that consider themselves to be democracies, honest performance of one’s professional duty and loyalty to one’s beliefs may still be seen as a reason to persecute journalists, to introduce punitive censorship, and even to use outright violence.

The far from complete list of repressions against Russia's media outlets and journalists can be found here — 👉 Foreign reprisals against Russian journalists and media.

The targeted murders of Russian journalists and military correspondents by militants of the Kiev regime twisted and mocked the ideals of this International Day. German Nazis have been replaced by Banderites, and Julius Fučík’s fate has been repeated by tens of Russian journalists killed or wounded by the Kiev regime criminals.

Amid the fierce campaign that a number of countries have launched to purge their media space from all points of view that differ from the officially approved ones, the deliberate inaction of the competent international bodies such as of UNESCO, the UN OHCHR, and the OSCE (they are, in fact, condoning injustice and lawlessness with their politically biased silence) is outrageous.

Equally upsetting is the lack of unity within the journalistic community. Many Western media workers and their professional associations and unions, as well as NGOs allegedly protecting human rights, have chosen, for reasons of loyalty to their countries’ authorities, to turn a blind eye to, or even support publicly, the reprisals against their colleagues

👉 All of this betrays the spirit of unity and solidarity that was the foundation of the International Day.

Despite everything, we congratulate all correspondents, editors, photo and video operators and other media industry workers who remain faithful to the ideals of journalistic solidarity, who are always ready to help their colleagues in times of need, even if their opinions differ.

For our part, we will continue to defend journalists’ right to perform their duty honestly anywhere in the world.

🎙️ Комментарий Посольства России в Норвегии для газеты «Известия» (7 сентября 2025 г.)

❓По сообщениям СМИ, впервые с начала СВО стратегический бомбардировщик B-2 Spirit ВВС США (возможно, два) находился в воздухе у северных границ Норвегии, двигаясь в направлении Мурманска. Есть ли у Посольства подтверждение данной информации?

💬 Ответ: Не располагаем информацией об упомянутых маневрах самолетов B-2 Spirit в северной Норвегии вблизи российской границы. Можем подтвердить, что стратбомбардировщик B-2 Spirit ВВС США проводил совместные тренировки с ВВС Норвегии в августе 2023 г. По окончании учений перед обратным вылетом он совершил посадку на главной норвежской авиабазе Эрланн для дозаправки и смены экипажа, что стало первым случаем посадки этого самолета, способного нести ядерное оружие, в континентальной Европе.
9 августа текущего года на авиабазу Эрланн прибыли три стратбомбардировщика B-1B Lancer ВВС США с авиабазы Дайесс (штат Техас). По линии американской инициативы Bomber Task Force (BTF) Europe они совместно с ВВС европейских стран НАТО, в т.ч. тактическими истребителями F-35 ВВС Норвегии, проведут серию тренировок по противодействию наземным и воздушным целям. Срок их пребывания на норвежской территории не раскрывается.
Норвегия присоединилась к тренировкам по линии BTF с момента их запуска в 2018 г.

В последнее время, особенно после подключения к натовским мероприятиям Финляндии и Швеции, американские стратбомбардировщики B-52, B-1 и B-2, способные нести как обычное, так и ядерное оружие, посещают Норвегию по несколько раз в год. Более того, в июне 2024 г. на авиабазе Рюгге, расположенной на юго-востоке страны, впервые приземлился самолет связи и управления ВВС США E-6B «Меркурий», также известный как «самолет Судного дня», являющийся воздушным командным пунктом, который в критической ситуации должен передать войскам, прежде всего ВМС, приказ применить ядерное оружие.

По сути, тренировки ВВС Норвегии со стратегическими бомбардировщиками ВВС США уже можно рассматривать как де-факто поддержку ядерных миссий обычной авиацией. Наращивание такого рода активности НАТО в североевропейском регионе ведет к росту военно-политической напряженности и подрывает глобальную стабильность.
