Vladimir Putin talked about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine
Those who encouraged, goaded and armed Ukraine, stirring it up against Russia, for decades fostered rampant nationalism and neo-Nazism simply could not care less about not only Russian interests, but also about Ukrainian interests either, the true interests of the people of that country. They have no remorse for that people, it is expendable in the eyes of both globalist expansionists in the West and their lackeys in Kiev.

"To this day, the UN is the most successful attempt of creating an international organisation"
See more on the Kremlin’s official website.
We often hear that the UN system is paralysed, that it is in crisis. Some even go as far as to say that it has become obsolete and it should be radically reformed. Yes, there are a lot of issues in the work of the UN. But we do not have a better alternative to the UN, we have to admit that.

📄 The Russian Foreign Ministry has published a Report “Regarding the actions (and inaction) of the authorities of Italy, Germany and Japan, resulting in destruction and falsification of history, justification of fascism and its accomplices”.
Full report available on the Russian MFA website (PDF).
✍️ In the year marking the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory over Nazism (World War II), not only in Russia but across the world many are rightly asking: to what extent have the lessons of the struggle against Nazism, fascism and militarism truly been learned?
Public opinion – both in countries friendly and unfriendly to Russia – that remembers the horrors of that time is witnessing the dangerous attempts of certain present-day leaders and political elites to distort objective reality, destroy and rewrite the history of World War II, revise its outcomes, whitewash war criminals who devised and implemented the theory of racial superiority, and glorify collaborators who aided the Nazis.
🤐 In a number of states, the information regarding the crimes of Hitlerism is being deliberately silenced, while the glorification of Nazism and rewriting of WWII history have been elevated to the level of official policy.
Particularly alarming is the fact that these destructive processes are advancing most rapidly in Germany, Italy and Japan – the very founders of the aggressive Axis bloc, which during World War II was opposed by the Anti-Hitler Coalition. <...>
Revisionist tendencies are gaining ground in Germany. The false thesis about the “equal responsibility of two totalitarian regimes” for unleashing WWII has long become a cornerstone of Germany’s remembrance culture, while the results of the post-war settlement are now the main target of official propaganda. <...>
Germany’s process of atonement for the crimes of the Nazi regime is largely limited to the theme of the Holocaust, while the memory of Soviet victims is deliberately ignored. <...>
🇷🇺🇧🇾 It is therefore not surprising that, in this atmosphere, German law-enforcement authorities saw no violation of the law in the actions of the leadership of the former Nazi concentration camp museum Dachau, which ordered staff to remove ribbons in the national colours of Russia and Belarus from wreaths laid during a commemorative ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of Victory. <...>
The revanchist core of Japan’s modern policy is clearly reflected in Tokyo’s persistent imposition of false interpretations of events of the mid-20th century that determined the fate of humanity. <...>
Since the coming to power in October 2022 of the centre-right government in Italy led by Giorgia Meloni, there has been a noticeable trend towards greater tolerance by the authorities for the increased apologetics in some parts of society for the “values” and “achievements” of the fascist regime, as well as public reproduction of symbols and rituals of the fascist Ventennio. <...> During her time in office, the Prime Minister herself has never once made a statement of firm and unequivocal condemnation of fascism. <...>
❌ Since 2022, Germany, Italy and Japan have consistently voted against the annually tabled resolution introduced by Russia and other co-sponsors at the UN General Assembly “Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance”.
❗️ This is the first time in history that members of Hitler’s wartime Axis coalition have openly voted against a document condemning the glorification of Nazism and all forms of racial discrimination.
The fact that these states – directly responsible for the deaths of tens of millions – now vote against a resolution calling for the prevention of Nazism's revival raises serious questions about the ideological processes under way in these countries and in the West at large. It is also evident that these states have chosen to ignore the obligations and pledges they assumed when joining the United Nations.

🗞 Russia’s Ambassador to Thailand Evgeny Tomikhin’s article “Russia-ASEAN Ties Set Standard” published in Bangkok Post (October 15, 2025)
Key points:
✍️ For over a quarter of a century, Russia and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (#ASEAN) have nurtured a unique partnership that has not only stood the test of time but has also evolved into a strategic pillar of regional stability. Today, as the international order transitions towards multipolarity, our dialogue partnership represents a model of how states can cooperate on the basis of equality, mutual respect, and shared benefit.
• The designation of Russia–ASEAN relations as a Strategic Partnership in 2018 was a recognition of accumulated trust and shared objectives. It signalled our joint commitment to address pressing regional and global issues, including security, development, education, science, and culture. Importantly, the partnership has always been premised on ASEAN centrality — a principle that Russia fully respects.
• The Comprehensive Plan of Action to the ASEAN and Russia Strategic Partnership (2021-2025) is being actively implemented. There are numerous joint projects and programmes in the fields of culture, sports, education and science. <...> Since 2024, Russia has officially become an ASEAN Digital Partner. It is a significant step towards the development of technological innovation and digital cooperation between Russia and ASEAN.
• Russia and ASEAN countries share a common vision. It is an approach of a multipolar world based on sovereign equality and inviolability of international law. It is precisely this convergence that allows our partnership to flourish. We do not dictate to one another — on the contrary, we engage in dialogue. We do not seek to create exclusive blocs; we build bridges.
• Russia's concept of the Greater Eurasian Partnership proposed by President Vladimir Putin offers a framework for linking integration processes across the continent — from the Eurasian Economic Union to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (#SCO), #BRICS and ASEAN. Rather than replacing existing mechanisms, it aims to create synergies, reduce fragmentation and promote connectivity in trade, energy, infrastructure and people-to-people contacts. Russia's support for ASEAN centrality, neutrality and inclusiveness directly serves this objective.
❗️ In today's turbulent world, the Russia–ASEAN dialogue partnership is more than a success story; it is a role model of relations in a multipolar world.
• Looking ahead, Russia stands ready to continue working hand in hand with ASEAN partners to build a just, balanced and sustainable regional and global order. Our shared future depends not on confrontation but on cooperation, not on dominance but on dialogue.

📚 On October 15, 1814, the outstanding Russian poet, novelist, and painter Mikhail #Lermontov was born in Moscow.
A leading voice of Russian Romanticism, Lermontov captured the spirit of youth, freedom, and the search for meaning. His works – including A Hero of Our Time, The Demon, and Masquerade – profoundly influenced generations of readers and writers.
Deeply inspired by the landscapes of the Caucasus, he often wrote about the beauty and mystery of distant lands, where human passion meets nature’s grandeur.
His verses still resonate across cultures with their emotional depth and timeless reflection on destiny and the human soul:
Lermontov’s legacy lives on as a symbol of poetic courage and the eternal quest for truth.

His verses still resonate across cultures with their emotional depth and timeless reflection on destiny and the human soul:
Alone I set out on the road;
The flinty path is sparkling in the mist;
The night is still. The desert harks to God,
And star with star converses.
The vault is overwhelmed with solemn wonder
The earth in cobalt aura sleeps. . .
Why do I feel so pained and troubled?
What do I harbor: hope, regrets?
I see no hope in years to come,
Have no regrets for things gone by.
All that I seek is peace and freedom!
To lose myself and sleep!
Lermontov’s legacy lives on as a symbol of poetic courage and the eternal quest for truth.

🎙 Commentary by Aide to the President of Russia Yury Ushakov following a telephone conversation between Vladimir Putin and President of the United States Donald Trump (October 16, 2025)
💬 Yury Ushakov: Today in the afternoon, Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation, the eighth one, with US President Donald Trump.
The conversation lasted almost two and a half hours. Clearly, it was a rather substantive and at the same time very open and frank exchange.
Our President started out by congratulating Donald Trump on his successful efforts to normalise the situation in the #GazaStrip. The US President’s peace work has been duly appreciated in the #MiddleEast, in the United States itself, and in most countries around the world.
Naturally, the Russian Side outlined its principled position in favour of a comprehensive Middle East settlement on a generally recognised international legal basis that would ensure lasting peace for all the peoples in that region.
A special emphasis during the conversation was placed on the #UkraineCrisis.
❗️ Vladimir Putin provided a detailed assessment of the current situation, stressing Russia’s interest in achieving a peaceful resolution through political and diplomatic methods.
In particular, it was noted that during the special military operation, the Russian Armed Forces hold full strategic initiative along the entire line of contact. Under these circumstances, the Kiev regime resorts to terrorist methods, attacking civilian targets and energy infrastructure facilities, to which we are forced to respond accordingly.
***
Donald Trump repeatedly emphasised the imperative of establishing peace in Ukraine at the earliest opportunity. The notion that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has proven the most intractable issue in all peacekeeping efforts of the US President was palpably evident throughout his remarks during the conversation. In this context, he naturally mentioned his successes in settling eight other regional conflicts.
It is noteworthy that one of the US President’s key arguments centred on the premise that the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine would open up tremendous — and he stressed this — tremendous prospects for the development of US-Russian economic cooperation.
Incidentally, both Sides spoke of the profound mutual affinity between the peoples of the two countries, which was so vividly demonstrated during #WWII. It was underscored that the current state of bilateral relations appears paradoxical against this backdrop.
The issue of potential supplies of long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine was also raised. Vladimir Putin reiterated his position that Tomahawks would not change the situation on the battlefield but would inflict substantial damage to relations between our countries, to say nothing of the prospects for a peaceful settlement.
In this context, it is worthy of note that the Presidents discussed the possibility of holding another personal meeting. This is indeed a very significant development. It was agreed that representatives of both countries would immediately begin preparations for the Summit, which could potentially be organised in Budapest, for instance.
On a separate note, it should be mentioned that our President highly praised personal efforts of the First Lady of the United States Melania Trump in reuniting Russian and Ukrainian children with their families and asked the US President to convey his very best wishes to his spouse.
Overall, I would say that the telephone contact between the Presidents of Russia and the United States was quite useful, and the two Leaders agreed to maintain contact.

🗓 20-22 октября заместитель Министра иностранных дел Российской Федерации С.В.Вершинин во главе российской межведомственной делегации принял участие в 10-й Сингапурской международной кибернеделе и организованной в её рамках специальной сессии Министерской конференции АСЕАН по кибербезопасности с диалоговыми партнёрами.
Участниками мероприятия подчеркивалась важность осознания глобального характера возрастающих угроз в цифровой среде. Дана высокая оценка итогам завершившей свою деятельность Рабочей группы открытого состава (#РГОС) #ООН по вопросам безопасности в сфере использования ИКТ и самих ИКТ. Обозначен настрой на совместную работу в рамках создаваемого на смену РГОС постоянного Всемирного механизма по достижениям в области ИКТ в контексте международной безопасности и продвижению ответственного поведения государств в сфере использования ИКТ. Отмечена значимость подписания Конвенции ООН против киберпреступности в Ханое, Вьетнам (25-26 октября).
«На полях» Форума проведены двусторонние встречи С.В.Вершинина с заместителем Генерального секретаря ООН, Высоким представителем ООН по вопросам разоружения И.Накамицу, Государственным министром иностранных дел, торговли и промышленности Сингапура Ган Сьяо Хуан, Постоянным секретарем МИД Сингапура А.Чуа, исполнительным директором Национального агентства по кибербезопасности Сингапура Д.Ко, постоянным представителем Сингапура при ООН Б.Гафуром и главой департамента кибербезопасности МИД Бразилии Л.Ш.Кальзой.
Состоявшиеся заседания и двусторонние контакты подтвердили восприимчивость стран АСЕАН к основным элементам российских подходов к международной информационной безопасности (#МИБ). В частности, были поддержаны аргументы России о центральной роли ООН в переговорном процессе по вопросам безопасности в сфере использования ИКТ, включая искусственный интеллект, необходимости выработки юридически обязывающих норм для предотвращения и урегулирования конфликтов в цифровой сфере на основе принципов суверенного равенства и невмешательства во внутренние дела государств.

🗓 On October 20-22, Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin, heading the Russian interagency delegation, took part in the 10th Singapore International Cyber Week and the Special Session of the ASEAN Ministerial Conference on Cybersecurity with Dialogue Partners held within its framework.
Participants of the event emphasized the importance of recognizing the global nature of growing threats in the digital environment. The results of the now-concluded UN Open-Ended Working Group (#OEWG) focused on the security of and in the use of information and communications technologies (ICT) were highly commended. A commitment was expressed to work jointly within the framework of the forthcoming Permanent Global Mechanism on ICT Security and Responsible State Behaviour in Cyberspace, which will replace the OEWG. The signing of the UN Convention against Cybercrime in Hanoi, Viet Nam (October 25-26), was noted as an important milestone.
On the sidelines of the Forum, DFM Vershinin held bilateral meetings with UN Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, Izumi Nakamitsu, Singapore’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Trade & Industry, Gan Siow Huang, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singapore, Albert Chua, Chief Executive of the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore David Koh, Permanent Representative of Singapore to the UN, Burhan Gafoor, and Head of the Cyber Defense and Security Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil, Larissa Calza.
The meetings and bilateral contacts confirmed ASEAN countries’ receptiveness to the key elements of Russia’s approaches to international information security (#IIS). In particular, Russia’s arguments were supported regarding the central role of the UN in the negotiation process on ICT security issues, including artificial intelligence, as well as the need to develop legally binding norms to prevent and resolve conflicts in cyberspace based on the principles of sovereign equality and non-interference in the internal affairs of states.
