🎙 Statement by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the continuing attempts by Kiev and the West to manipulate the “abducted children” issue (October 24, 2025)
💬 The Kiev regime and its Western sponsors continue to promote an anti-Russian smear campaign centred on the so-called “children’s issue”.
To advance anti-Russian narratives, various contrived formats – “coalitions”, “platforms”, “groups” – are being created. Their aim is to impose on the international community a distorted image of Russia as a “criminal”, “terrorist”, and “child abductor”.
Now, American senators have decided to join this effort. Media reports suggest that the US Senate is preparing to consider a number of anti-Russian legislative initiatives, including a bill to designate Russia as a “state sponsor of terrorism” allegedly over the “abduction of Ukrainian children”.
We regard this legislative initiative as an attempt to undermine the dialogue established between Russia and the US – including on the issue of reuniting children who, for various reasons, lost contact with their families during the conflict in Ukraine.
Let us recall that the Office of the Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, has established a clear and transparent family reunification process with a consistent step-by-step procedure.
To date, 122 children from 98 families have been reunited with their parents or biological relatives residing in Ukraine or third countries. From Ukraine, 29 children from 21 families have returned to Russia. The facts of family reunifications are verified by representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross, who accompany the children during their transfer to parents or relatives. Qatar and the Vatican provide mediation assistance.
Recently, the process has also been joined by US First Lady Melania Trump, who confirmed that Russia demonstrates readiness to provide objective and detailed information regarding the children.
🤝 Thanks to cooperation between the Russian and American Sides, seven minors were reunited with their families in Ukraine on October 11, and one girl returned from Ukraine to her relatives in Russia.
We proceed from the understanding that the established direct contact with the American Side will help not only to facilitate family reunification, but also to convey to the international community accurate information about the real state of affairs.
As for the fabricated stories about “20,000 abducted Ukrainian minors”, as well as the various so-called “coalitions for the return of children,” and hostile anti-Russian bills and resolutions – they have nothing to do with truth or genuine concern for children’s interests.
❗️ What we see here is more Bucha-style fakes – heart-wrenching 'emotional' stories and loud headlines in Western media, that have no truth behind them – neither the names of those allegedly killed in Bucha nor any list of “abducted children” will ever be produced.

🎙 Russia's President Vladimir Putin visited a Joint Force command post, where he had a meeting with Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov and the commanders of the groups involved in the special military operation (October 26, 2025)
Key points:
• The recent successes in encircling the Krasnoarmeysk and Dimitrov agglomeration and Kupyansk, as well as combat outcomes in other directions, achieved by our Armed Forces, are the result of the heroic actions of our soldiers, sergeants, and junior rank officers, as well as the well-coordinated work of our headquarters and leadership at all levels.
• At the same time, as already noted, extensive and challenging efforts have to be made in order to eliminate the encircled enemy formations.
❗️ In order to minimise avoidable human losses, I ask (just as we have done before) that you take all possible comprehensive measures to secure the surrender of Ukrainian service personnel – those who wish to lay down arms.
• During the mop-up of these territories, every effort must be made to protect the civilian population, which Ukrainian units are using as human shields. Local residents must receive all necessary assistance, and measures must be taken to evacuate them to safe locations.
• That said, the lives of our military personnel remain the priority. We discuss this on a constant basis; you know my approach and I know yours: we will not tie operations to specific dates or events. As always, we will proceed from military expediency and place the safety of our fighters, our soldiers, first and foremost.
• Regarding the exercise of the strategic offensive forces, we have once again confirmed the reliability of Russia’s nuclear shield. The strategic forces are fully capable of ensuring the national security of the Russian Federation and the Union State.
⚡️ I would ask the Chief of the General Staff to report on one more event that I briefly mentioned in my opening remarks – namely, the test of the #Burevestnik nuclear-powered unlimited-range cruise missile. I have received a report from the industry and I am aware of the assessments made by the Ministry of Defence – this is indeed a unique weapon that no other country possesses.
👉 Substantial work has to be done in order to place this weapon on combat duty, and all regulations must be completed. Nevertheless, as I understand it, the key objectives have been achieved.

‼️🇷🇺 Комментарий Посольства России в Норвегии в связи с осквернением памяти солдат Красной Армии в северной Норвегии
Крайне обеспокоены фактом осквернения в ночь с 25-го на 26-е октября памятника Советскому солдату в Киркенесе неустановленными лицами, которые разбросали цветы и растоптали венки, возложенные накануне представителями российских и норвежских властей, соотечественниками и простыми норвежцами по случаю 81-й годовщины освобождения Красной Армией восточного Финмарка в октябре 1944 г.
С учетом того, что монумент был воздвигнут в память о воинах, отдавших свои жизни за освобождение северной Норвегии от нацистской Германии, возникает риторический вопрос — носителям каких взглядов претит этот памятник бессмертному подвигу Советского народа в борьбе с человеконенавистнической идеологией? Кто мог пойти на этот постыдный и кощунственный шаг?
Печально, что среди местных «историков» и политиков есть те, кто очерняет совместные усилия российских и норвежских властей, а также неравнодушных граждан, призывая отказаться от возложений цветов к могилам и памятникам советских воинов, и по сути, оправдывая и даже поощряя действия, подобные акту вандализма в Киркенесе.
Раcсчитываем на проведение норвежской полицией беспристрастного расследования и установления виновных, а от норвежских властей - получить соответствующую оценку произошедшего.

‼️🇷🇺 Kommentar fra Russlands ambassade i Norge om vanhelligelsen av minnet om soldater fra Den røde armé i Nord-Norge
Vi er svært bekymret over skjemmingen av monumentet til sovjetiske soldater i Kirkenes natten mellom 25. og 26. oktober av ukjente personer som kastet blomster og tråkket på kranser som dagen før var lagt ned av representanter for russiske og norske myndigheter, av landsmenn og vanlige nordmenn i anledning 81-årsdagen for Røde Armés frigjøring av Øst-Finnmark i oktober 1944.
Gitt at monumentet ble reist til minne om soldatene som ga livet sitt for frigjøringen av Nord-Norge fra Nazi-Tyskland, reiser det seg et retorisk spørsmål: Hva slags mennesker ville forakte dette monumentet over det sovjetiske folks udødelige heltedåd i kampen mot en menneskefiendtlig ideologi? Hvem kunne ha tatt dette skammelige og blasfemiske skrittet?
Det er trist at det blant lokale «historikere» og politikere finnes de som svartmaler felles innsats til de russiske og norske myndighetene, samt engasjerte borgere, ved å oppfordre til boikott av blomsternedlegging ved gravene og monumentene til sovjetiske soldater, og i hovedsak rettferdiggjør og til og med oppmuntrer til handlinger som dette hærverket i Kirkenes.
Vi regner med at norsk politi vil gjennomføre en upartisk etterforskning og identifisere de ansvarlige, og at norske myndigheter vil gi en passende vurdering av det som har skjedd.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the high-level Plenary Session of the 3rd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security (Minsk, October 28, 2025)
Key points:
• President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko is holding this conference for a third year now (1, 2). It has established itself as a leading international platform for discussing key security-related topics for the Eurasian space.
• It is now obvious to everyone that Eurasia is at the geopolitical centre of a nascent multipolar world order today. It is here that processes shaping the future of international relations are unfolding.
• We can see that an overwhelming majority of NATO and EU countries are refusing to recognise an objective truth – the era of Western dominance has come to an end and we entered a new historical era. This is what sets apart Russia, our partners within the CIS, China, India, Iran and the DPRK, as well as all those Eurasian countries which are convinced in the need to ensure unwavering compliance with the principles of sovereign equality and indivisible security for all, not just the chosen ones who believe that they stand above the law and are not bound by any moral imperatives.
• NATO has not halted its expansion effort, even for a moment, despite the assurances provided back in the day to the Soviet leaders not to move east even by an inch. They are doing this despite the commitment they have assumed at the highest political level within the OSCE to refrain from reinforcing their own security at the expense of others and not to seek regional, let alone, global dominance.
• They planned and provoked the conflict in Ukraine, which dealt a final blow to the Euro-Atlantic Security model, which used to rely on NATO, the OSCE and the European Union. Over the past eight years, the EU evolved into a Euro-Atlantic component of this setting.
• The militarisation of Europe is gaining traction with more funding for defence manufacturers, large-scale exercises, and efforts to perfect logistics for moving troops to the so-called eastern front by using the infrastructure of countries which are not part of the North-Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
• The plans to intensify NATO activity in the Arctic, which we (and I am convinced the majority of sensible nations) would like to see as a territory of peace and cooperation, give significant cause for concern.
• It is the European members of NATO that are prolonging the armed conflict in Ukraine by funnelling weapons into the Kiev regime and providing it with financial and political support. Most European leaders are at pains to persuade the US administration against the idea of reaching a settlement in Ukraine by eliminating the root causes of the conflict at the negotiating table.
• Europe has been groundlessly accusing Russia of planning an invasion of NATO and EU countries. European leaders invented this nonsense and repeated it in a conscious deceit of their own nations.
• By inflating the anti-Russia hysteria on the principle of “war will justify everything,” as we say in Russia, they are trying to blame Moscow for their own mistakes, including the numerous mistakes and failures with regard to Ukraine.
• We have stated repeatedly that we have never had and have no intention to attack any member of NATO or the European Union.
• NATO is artificially expanding its area of responsibility far beyond the Euro-Atlantic region. To this end, the alliance has advanced the notion of the “indivisibility” of its security and that of the Indo-Pacific Region.
• NATO does not leave other Eurasian regions without its attention, including the Middle East, the South Caucasus, and Central and South Asia. These sub-regions are dealt with on an individual basis rather than in the context of concerns about pan-continental or pan-Eurasian interests.
• Back in 2015, Vladimir Putin, speaking at the Russia-ASEAN Summit, suggested establishing a Greater Eurasian Partnership that envisaged the creation of a continent-wide contour of equitable and mutually beneficial cooperation.

🎙 Statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin during his visit to Pyotr Mandryk Central Military Clinical Hospital (Moscow, October 29, 2025)
💬 President Putin: The situation in general in the zone of the special military operation is developing favorably for us. In two locations – the cities of Kupyansk and Krasnoarmeisk – the enemy has been encircled and blocked.
The commanders of the respective groupings have no objections to allowing media representatives – foreign journalists as well as Ukrainian ones – to enter the encircled areas so that they can see with their own eyes what is happening there. They could see the condition of the surrounded Ukrainian troops, which might prompt the political leadership of Ukraine to take the necessary decisions concerning the fate of its citizens and servicemen.
❗️ Just as they once did in “Azovstal”, such an opportunity will be available to them.
Our only concern is to avoid any provocations from the Ukrainian side. We are ready to cease hostilities for a certain period – for a few hours, two, three or six hours – so that groups of journalists can enter these settlements, see what is happening there, talk to the Ukrainian servicemen and then leave. We are ready to guide them to specific points where they can be met by Ukrainian servicemen from the other side.
What matters most is to avoid provocations from the Ukrainian side – for example, so that no drone flies in, no journalist is harmed, and nobody then tries to pin the incident on us. We do not need that. On the contrary, we are ready to do everything exactly as I have just described. The only question is whether the Ukrainian side is ready for this. <...>

Участники мероприятия прослушали лекцию соотечественницы Татьяны Торесен, которая вместе с супругом Оддом Ингаром Торесеном на протяжении ряда лет ведет работу по идентификации имен неизвестных воинов и поиску их родных. Волонтеры с Севера Норвегии рассказали об усилиях по сохранению и восстановлению советских воинских захоронений.
В Норвегии захоронено около 13700 советских военнопленных, погибших в годы Великой Отечественной войны. На данный момент известны имена более 7800 человек, работа по идентификации погибших продолжается на национальном и местном уровне в России и Норвегии.
Посол России в Норвегии Н.В.Корчунов, отметив сохраняющуюся актуальность обращения лидеров стран СНГ от 8 октября 2024 г. в связи с 80-летием Победы, подчеркнул общий вклад бывших республик СССР в Победу. Приветствовал стремление соотечественников сохранить историческую правду и не допустить пересмотра итогов Победы в Великой Отечественной войне.
