Комментарий Посольства в связи с очередными антироссийскими санкциями Лондона
🤦 Покрасоваться под очередную «круглую дату», связанную с началом нашей СВО, британские власти предпочли с присущим им цинизмом.
Из-под сукна извлечена эмоционально манипулятивная детская тема. Неправомерные ограничительные меры введены на этот раз против руководителей министерств образования Республики Крым и Запорожской области, Олешковской школы-интерната для детей с ограниченными возможностями и Херсонского областного дома ребёнка, общественных детско-юношеских организаций, участвовавших в эвакуации и приёме детей из зоны СВО.
Никакой пафосной риторикой Лондон не скроет, что под фанфары ввёл санкции против тех, кто самоотверженно занимается спасением детей в прифронтовой полосе в условиях варварских обстрелов со стороны формирований киевского режима с применением западных, в т.ч. британских вооружений. И против тех, кто заботится о вывезенных в безопасность ребятах, возвращает им детство.
Подобный бесстыдный поступок можно объяснить исключительно отчаянием британского истеблишмента на фоне назревающего фиаско выпестованного им «украинского проекта».
Этим, однако, не сломить дух педагогов, воспитателей, руководителей детских и юношеских организаций, работающих над улучшением условий жизни для подрастающего поколения в нашей стране.
Показательно, что всё больше жителей по собственной инициативе возвращаются с подконтрольных киевскому режиму территорий в воссоединившиеся с Россией регионы – туда, где жизнь уже нормализовалась.
☝️ Эта тенденция, которую признают теперь и украинские должностные лица, – очевидный приговор воинственной политике британских недоброжелателей нашей страны.

Embassy comment on UK targeting of Russian childcare professionals
🤦 Seeing a Special Military Operation (SMO) related red-letter day in their calendar, British authorities could not but show off, and did so with signature cynicism. This time the emotionally manipulative theme of children was dusted off.
The UK introduced illegitimate restrictive measures against the ministers of education of the Republic of Crimea and Zaporozhye Region, heads of the Oleshki Boarding School for Children with Disabilities, the Kherson Regional Children’s Home and youth charities involved in evacuating and hosting children from the SMO zone.
The pretentious rhetoric cannot conceal the fact that, with great fanfare, London has blacklisted the very same persons who have selflessly rescued children near the frontline, and have done so amidst barbaric strikes by Kiev military units using Western, including British weaponry. Restrictions have targeted people that are set on bringing children back into a safe and caring environment.
The only possible explanation for this reprehensible act is that the British establishment has entered a state of utter desperation, knowing full well that disaster looms for its Ukrainian pet project.
This vile act, though, will not break the spirit of the many teachers, carers and managers of children and youth organisations who are working hard to make our country a better place for the younger generation.
Tellingly, an increasing number of people are returning on their own initiative from Kiev-controlled territories to the regions reunited with Russia. In other words, to places where life is getting back to normal.
☝️ Even Ukrainian officials are publicly acknowledging this trend, and it delivers a crushing indictment on the warmongering policies of those in Britain who wish harm on our country.

🎙 Excerpt from Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's remarks and answers to media questions following the G20 Summit (Rio de Janeiro, 19 November 2024)
💬 The fact that ATACMS were repeatedly used to attack the Bryansk Region signals that they [Western countries] are looking for an escalation.
There’s no way the Ukrainians can use these high-tech missiles without the Americans. President Putin conveyed that on numerous occasions and let everyone know that our stance would change if the long-range capability (up to 300 kilometres), which they are now discussing, gets approved.
Essentially, this isn’t an “approval” for Ukraine to use long-range missiles, but their way to announce that they will from now on hit targets at a distance of up to 300 kilometres.
Basic Principles of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence were published which confirm and enshrine everything in the form of a legislative act. President Putin made this public on September 12.
I hope they will read through this doctrine, but not the way they read the UN Charter, where they see only things that they want to see, but read it in its entirety and interconnectedness.
Our security is our key focus. We stated officially everything that those who are contemplating this course of action need to know. President Putin has made everything clear, and everything was codified in an official document. <...>
Any modification of ATACMS cannot be used without American experts and instructors, including satellite data, programming, and targeting. The President mentioned this several times: if long-range missiles are going to be applied from Ukraine into Russian territory, it will also mean that they are operated by American experts, military experts.
☝️ We will be taking this as a qualitatively new phase of the Western war against Russia, and we'll react accordingly.

🌍 On November 20, the we, the world and, in particular, the Global Majority, mark Africa Industrialisation Day.
In 1989, the UN General Assembly, which sees industrialisation as a way of eradicating poverty and improving African people’s well-being, instituted this memorable date.
Our country made a massive and selfless contribution to developing Africa’s industrial capacity.
The Soviet Union decisively influenced, promoted and assisted the decolonisation process on the continent and provided large-scale economic and technological assistance to African countries as they built multi-sectoral national economies.
🏭 Acting in accordance with bilateral agreements on economic and technological cooperation, the Soviet Union helped stand up 37 national African economies. Soviet specialists helped build about 600 enterprises on the continent, including the famous Aswan Hydropower Plant in Egypt, a bauxite mining facility in Guinea, an ore mining and processing works in the Republic of the Congo and the Capanda Hydropower Plant in Angola.
While providing assistance, the Soviet Union always prioritised the sovereignty of African countries over their natural resources and ending the discrimination they faced in the international division of labour. Former colonial empires dismantled raw materials processing enterprises on the way out, whereas the Soviet Union established new production facilities and trained specialists. About 480,000 Africans received such training during these years of cooperation.
🇷🇺 Today, Russia continues to provide all manner of assistance to support the independent development of many African countries and to share its unique expertise in the power industry, transportation, healthcare and other areas. The 2nd Russia-Africa Summit, held in July 2023 in St Petersburg, provided additional impetus for advancing our industrial cooperation with African countries.

⚡️ Statement by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin
❌ The escalation of the conflict in Ukraine, instigated by the West, continues with the United States and its NATO allies previously announcing that they authorise the use of their long-range high-precision weapons for strikes inside the Russian Federation.
Experts are well aware, and the Russian side has repeatedly highlighted it, that the use of such weapons is not possible without the direct involvement of military experts from the manufacturing nations. <...>
The use by the enemy of such weapons cannot affect the course of combat operations in the special military operation zone. Our forces are making successful advances along the entire line of contact, and all objectives we have set will be accomplished.
In response to the deployment of American and British long-range weapons, on November 21, the Russian Armed Forces delivered a combined strike on a facility within Ukraine’s defence industrial complex. In field conditions, we also carried out tests of one of Russia’s latest medium-range missile systems – in this case, carrying a non-nuclear hypersonic ballistic missile that our engineers named Oreshnik.
The tests were successful, achieving the intended objective of the launch. In the city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, one of the largest and most famous industrial complexes from the Soviet Union era, which continues to produce missiles and other armaments, was hit.
We are conducting combat tests of the Oreshnik missile system in response to NATO’s aggressive actions against Russia. Our decision on further deployment of intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles will depend on the actions of the United States and its satellites.
We will determine the targets during further tests of our advanced missile systems based on the threats to the security of the Russian Federation.
❗️ We consider ourselves ennoscriptd to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow to use their weapons against our facilities, and in case of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will respond decisively and in mirror-like manner.
I recommend that the ruling elites of the countries that are hatching plans to use their military contingents against Russia seriously consider this.
It goes without saying that when choosing, if necessary and as a retaliatory measure, targets to be hit by systems such as Oreshnik on Ukrainian territory, we will in advance suggest that civilians and citizens of friendly countries residing in those areas leave danger zones. We will do so for humanitarian reasons, openly and publicly, without fear of counter-moves coming from the enemy, who will also be receiving this information. <...>
☝️ I would like to emphasise once again that it was not Russia, but the United States that destroyed the international security system and, by continuing to fight, cling to its hegemony, they are pushing the whole world into a global conflict.
We have always preferred and are ready now to resolve all disputes by peaceful means. But we are also ready for any turn of events.
If anyone still doubts this, make no mistake: there will always be a response.

🎙 Основные тезисы из интервью Посла России в Великобритании А.В.Келина британскому телеканалу Sky News (21 ноября 2024 года)
🔹 Несмотря на наши неоднократные предупреждения, уходящая администрация США при поддержке Великобритании и Франции предприняла осознанные и целенаправленные действия, способные привести к существенной эскалации украинского конфликта. Это значительно повышает стратегические риски и может привести к столкновению ядерных держав.
🔹 Мы, разумеется, обратили внимание на высказывания западных экспертов в том духе, что раз «красные линии» неоднократно и без последствий пересекались в прошлом, то ничего не произойдёт на этот раз. Это не так.
🔹 Применение ракет ATACMS и Storm Shadow предполагает непременное участие американского и британского персонала. Это меняет саму суть конфликта, как подчеркивал наш Президент, и напрямую вовлекает США, Великобританию и НАТО в военные действия против России. Ответ будет адекватным и ощутимым. Будет проведена оценка угроз Российской Федерации,
и Президент примет соответствующее решение.
🔹 Многие обсуждают сегодня данный вопрос в контексте изменений, внесенных в российскую доктрину ядерного сдерживания. Этот документ был адаптирован к реалиям современных конфликтов. Мы ожидаем, что он будет тщательно проанализирован западными экспертами и военными с целью понимания рисков эскалации и во избежание их недооценки.
🔹 Политика руководства России пользуется всеобъемлющей поддержкой и доверием населения нашей страны. Другая важная характеристика – абсолютное единство российского руководства по этому и всем остальным вопросам. Какие-либо спекуляции или попытки выискать зазоры или нюансы в наших позициях попросту бессмысленны.
🔹 Что касается решения британского правительства нанести удар ракетами Storm Shadow вглубь российской территории, отмечаю, что это прямой обман. В мае 2023 года нас уведомили официальной нотой, что данные системы будут применяться исключительно в пределах украинских границ, как их понимают в Лондоне. Впоследствии эта позиция неоднократно подтверждалась. Ответственные государства так себя не ведут.

🎙 Watch Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin's interview with Sky News presenter Mark Austin (21 November 2024)
Key talking points:
• We have made multiple warnings that [the use of Western] missiles to strike inside Russia will be a serious escalation. And despite these warnings, the US administration supported by France and the UK has made a deliberate decision to carry out these strikes. This seriously escalates the situation and can lead to a collision between the nuclear powers.
• We have been assured many times by the British side that they would only use Storm Shadow cruise missiles on the territory of Ukraine. What has happened is a deliberate cheating. <...> The UK is now directly involved in this conflict because this firing [of the missiles] cannot happen without NATO and British staff.
• Our nuclear deterrence doctrine has been closely adapted to the realities of the current conflict. And I hope that it will be carefully studied by Western experts in order to understand the risks of escalation and do not underestimate them.
• We tried to resolve it [the Ukrainian crisis] through negotiations in April 2022. We were very close to that. But [UK former Prime Minister Boris] Johnson prevented that, unfortunately, and he is responsible for what is happening in Ukraine and for the losses that are happening. <...> He stopped the negotiations. He told Ukrainians to go and fight, which they didn't want to do.
• [New] territorial realities should be recognised [by Ukraine and the West]. What we also need is a nuclear-neutral Ukraine, the restoration of all minority rights and, of course, the lifting of sanctions. <...> We need a Ukraine that does not threaten us.

🗓 On November 21-22, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov visited Brest, the Republic of Belarus, to attend the annual joint meeting of Foreign Ministry Collegiums of Russia and Belarus and hold talks with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Belarus Maxim Ryzhenkov.
The talks covered current issues of bilateral cooperation and integration progress of the Union State as well as some topics on regional and international agendas. The Мinisters agreed to continue close foreign policy alignment at international venues.
The meeting of the Foreign Ministry Collegiums reviewed the progress of implementing the decisions of the previous meeting and summed up the interim results of the 2024-2026 bilateral programme of coordinated foreign policy actions. The participants discussed practical issues related to multilateral format cooperation with countries of the Global South and East with an emphasis on the #SCO and #BRICS.
❗️ A discussion was held on the sanctions policy and judicial and legal aggression of the “collective West” against Russia and Belarus, and specific measures were outlined to counter those illegitimate steps.
✍️ Following the meeting, the participants endorsed a resolution summing up the discussions and reached agreements, and approved a plan of consultations between the foreign ministries of Russia and Belarus for 2025. The Ministers also signed a joint statement on their shared vision of the Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century, as well as a bilateral declaration on enhancing the role of international law and on guiding principles for designating unilateral coercive measures as illegal and for using countermeasures to mitigate and compensate for the negative consequences of such measures.
During the visit, Sergey Lavrov met with Chair of the Brest Region Executive Committee Pyotr Parkhomchik and activists from among local universities’ students. The Minister also had a tour of the Brest Hero-Fortress memorial complex, where he laid flowers at the Eternal Flame to commemorate the fortress defenders.
🗓 The next joint meeting of the Foreign Ministry Collegiums of Russia and Belarus will be held in Russia in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Комментарий Посольства в связи с лживыми измышлениями британского официоза и СМИ в отношении России
☝️ Готовность руководства России решительно отстаивать законные интересы безопасности нашей страны, подкреплённая наглядной демонстрацией высокой эффективности отечественного арсенала стратегического сдерживания, возымели, как мы видим, заметный эффект на британский политистеблишмент.
Ещё более явственно, чем прежде, забрезжило осознание близящегося провала «украинского проекта», на который в Лондоне делали крупную ставку, рассчитывая выгодно нажиться на планах нанесения нашей стране чужими руками «стратегического поражения».
Инстинктивной реакцией британской пропагандистской машины на неприятные для Лондона новости из зоны СВО стал лихорадочный вброс в подконтрольные СМИ откровенно абсурдных антироссийских сюжетов.
Из этого ряда – конспирологические истории с пролётами неопознанных беспилотников над британскими военными базами и кораблями, алармистские придумки официоза о будто бы нависшей над страной российской киберугрозе, а также смакование ничем не подтверждённых деталей квазисудебных процедур в рамках других затеянных Лондоном провокаций, вроде «дела Скрипалей» и недавних складских «поджогов».
«Вишенкой на торте» стали вбросы о массовом наборе необученных иностранных граждан теперь из Йемена, Непала и Индии в ВС России. Эти сказки призваны заретушировать выявление британских наёмников, сражающихся в рядах ВСУ на территории России.
Никаких доказательств всем этим наветам, разумеется, нет, да и утративших связь с реальностью местных журналистов они, судя по всему, не интересуют.
❌ Иррациональная враждебность к нашей стране навязывается здешним политико-медийным «мейнстримом» в качестве догмы, которую рядовым британцам предлагается принимать на веру без критической оценки.
Хотя вопрос о наличии причинно-следственной связи между лидирующей ролью Лондона в эскалации военного конфликта на Украине, а также растущим чувством небезопасности, которое испытывают сами же британцы, пусть и по подложным основаниям, казалось бы, лежит на поверхности.
Истинную цель очередного витка антироссийской кампании Лондона усматриваем в попытке зацементировать пошатнувшийся проукраинский консенсус на фоне всё более явных успехов российской армии на поле боя, а также сдвигов в политико-электоральном ландшафте в ключевых странах Запада.
Просматривается и заинтересованность местного «силового блока» под сурдинку запросить дополнительное финансирование на оборонные нужды.
Не случайно, вторым планом к медийным инсинуациям проходят растиражированные в СМИ под видом аналитики призывы к европейцам подставить плечо Вашингтону, увеличив свои военные расходы аж до 3-4% ВВП. А, значит, изношенная инфраструктура и испытывающая серьёзные проблемы система здравоохранения Великобритании в перспективе могут недосчитаться ещё многих десятков миллиардов фунтов стерлингов.
☝️ Готовность руководства России решительно отстаивать законные интересы безопасности нашей страны, подкреплённая наглядной демонстрацией высокой эффективности отечественного арсенала стратегического сдерживания, возымели, как мы видим, заметный эффект на британский политистеблишмент.
Ещё более явственно, чем прежде, забрезжило осознание близящегося провала «украинского проекта», на который в Лондоне делали крупную ставку, рассчитывая выгодно нажиться на планах нанесения нашей стране чужими руками «стратегического поражения».
Инстинктивной реакцией британской пропагандистской машины на неприятные для Лондона новости из зоны СВО стал лихорадочный вброс в подконтрольные СМИ откровенно абсурдных антироссийских сюжетов.
Из этого ряда – конспирологические истории с пролётами неопознанных беспилотников над британскими военными базами и кораблями, алармистские придумки официоза о будто бы нависшей над страной российской киберугрозе, а также смакование ничем не подтверждённых деталей квазисудебных процедур в рамках других затеянных Лондоном провокаций, вроде «дела Скрипалей» и недавних складских «поджогов».
«Вишенкой на торте» стали вбросы о массовом наборе необученных иностранных граждан теперь из Йемена, Непала и Индии в ВС России. Эти сказки призваны заретушировать выявление британских наёмников, сражающихся в рядах ВСУ на территории России.
Никаких доказательств всем этим наветам, разумеется, нет, да и утративших связь с реальностью местных журналистов они, судя по всему, не интересуют.

Embassy comment on deceptive fabrications by British establishment and media regarding Russia
☝️ The Russian leadership's steadfast commitment to rigorously upholding the legitimate security interests of our country, supported by the convincing demonstration of the effectiveness of our strategic deterrence capabilities, has evidently made a tangible impression on the British establishment.
The growing awareness of the imminent failure of the "Ukraine project" has become ever more apparent. This venture was a big gamble for London which evidently counted on making a handy profit from inflicting a "strategic defeat" on Russia through its proxies.
In its instinctive reaction to unfavorable developments in the area of the Special Military Operation, the British propaganda machine feverishly deployed a wave of ridiculous anti-Russian narratives via mainstream media.
These include the conspiracy stories about unidentified drones allegedly hovering over British military bases and vessels, alarmist inventions by British officials of a supposed Russian cyber threat looming over the UK, as well as the recycling of unsubstantiated details related to quasi-judicial procedures initiated following a number of provocations orchestrated by London, such as the Skripal affair and the recent incidents of warehouse fires.
Top among these fairy tales is the claim of mass recruitment by Russian Armed Forces of untrained foreign nationals from Yemen, Nepal, and India. These stories are likely designed to divert attention from the documented evidence of British mercenaries fighting alongside Ukrainian forces within Russian territory.
Predictably, no evidence has been provided to support these allegations, yet this does not seem to concern most local journalists, themselves increasingly detached from reality.
❌ Instead, irrational hostility towards Russia is promoted as dogma by the political and media mainstream, expected to be swallowed by the British public without scrutiny or critical analysis.
Notably absent from public discourse is any examination of the potential connection between London's leading role in escalating the conflict in Ukraine and the growing sense of insecurity among British citizens, even when this insecurity is based on questionable premises.
The Embassy identifies the primary objectives of this renewed anti-Russian campaign as attempts to reinforce the diminishing pro-Ukrainian consensus amidst the visible successes of the Russian Armed Forces, as well as shifts in the political and electoral landscape of key Western states. This narrative also serves the interests of the British security and defense sector, likely seeking additional funding under the pretext of bolstering national security.
It is no coincidence that alongside these media insinuations, there are increasingly vocal calls framed as analytical recommendations for European countries to align with Washington's demands to raise defense expenditures to 3-4% of GDP. Such measures, however, threaten to divert tens of billions of pounds away from addressing critical domestic issues, such as the UK’s aging infrastructure and overburdened healthcare system.

Комментарий Посольства в связи с очередными антироссийскими «санкциями» Великобритании
🌊 Великобритания, некогда носившая гордое звание «владычицы морей», по мере утраты былого величия превращается в источник проблем и неправомерных ограничений для деятельности судоходства во всём мире.
Анонсированные британскими властями 25 ноября всё новые антироссийские меры под предлогом борьбы с неким «теневым флотом», как и все предыдущие, не нанесут ущерба экономике нашей страны, преодолевшей зависимость от влияния западной финансовой и страховой инфраструктуры.
Зато своими решениями Лондон пополнил копилку односторонних западных рестрикций, способствующих усилению географических и структурных перекосов в международной морской торговле, а также отставанию в реализации масштабных технологических, в т.ч. «зелёных» задач, стоящих перед этой углеродоёмкой отраслью.
Думаем, что следствием планомерно создаваемых британскими властями и их союзниками по «семёрке» и НАТО логистических проблем для международной морской торговли, в первую очередь, станет рост цен на сырьё в мире.
В этом случае результаты «кипучей активности» Лондона вполне могут ощутить на своих оскудевших кошельках рядовые жители самой Британии. Что хуже, ими могут быть затронуты многие развивающиеся страны, за интересы которых страны Запада в последнее время лицемерно «радеют».
❗️ В любом случае эти конфронтационные шаги, вопреки фантазиям генераторов «санкций» с Даунинг-стрит, никак не повлияют на решимость руководства и народа нашей страны к последовательному отстаиванию национальных интересов, в т.ч. применительно к целям и задачам СВО.

Forwarded from Russian MFA 🇷🇺
⚡️ Russia's Foreign Ministry Statement on personal sanctions against representatives of the United Kingdom’s political establishment, military and defence-related entities, as well as journalists
Once again, the Foreign Ministry has to raise its voice against the unrelenting aggressive anti-Russian rhetoric coming from the United Kingdom’s authorities, as well as London’s persistent efforts to impose illegitimate unilateral restrictions on our country, coupled with its reckless policy to support the neo-Nazi Kiev regime in pursuit of its vested geopolitical interests, which further delays the resolution of the Ukraine conflict without any reason.
This Russia-hating policy includes efforts to discredit Russia’s actions and isolate it on the international stage, while also spreading misinformation about our country, including in the context of the special military operation, coupled with offering military support to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which borders on UK’s direct involvement in the conflict. This can lead to further escalation and demonstrates London’s commitment to carrying on with its system-wide confrontation with Russia.
Once again, Moscow stresses that this policy has no future and calls on London to renounce it in favour of mutually respectful and constructive ties for greater security and stability around the world.
❌ In response to the hostile actions by the UK, Russia decided to designate several members of the UK’s political establishment, the military, high-technology sector, as well as journalists on the Russian stop list.
👉 The list of UK subjects who are now banned from entering the Russian Federation.
The Foreign Ministry will further expand the stop list in response to the United Kingdom’s hostile actions.

Embassy comment on the latest British "sanctions"
🌊 The United Kingdom, which once ruled the waves, has alongside its loss of influence increasingly become a source of unwarranted restrictions and disruptions to international maritime operations.
The most recent anti-Russian measures announced by British authorities on 25 November under the pretext of combating some phantom "shadow fleet" will have, like the ones before, no discernible impact on Russia's economy, which has weaned itself off the Western financial and insurance infrastructure.
Nevertheless London has through its actions added to unilateral Western restrictions that serve to exacerbate geographic and structural imbalances in global maritime trade. Their cumulative effect may further hinder this carbon-intensive industry from attaining its ambitious technological and environmental goals.
The logistical challenges for international maritime trade systematically created by UK authorities, alongside their G7 and NATO allies, may have far-reaching repercussions, including, above all, rising global commodity prices.
London's zealotry may thus have an adverse effect on the pockets of ordinary Britons. Moreover, these policies may end up harming some developing nations, whose interests the West has been hypocritically claiming to champion in recent times.
❗️ In any case, however much sanctions-inventors at Downing Street may delude themselves, these confrontational acts will not diminish the resolve of Russia's leadership and its people to advance our national interests, including the goals and objectives of the Special Military Operation.

🎙 Excerpt from Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta (Moscow, 27 November 2024)
💬 Increasing numbers of participants in the international dialogue are coming to the realisation that the exploitation of former colonies by the colonial powers has never stopped.
All it did was merely adjust its form, but the goal has remained the same, and it is to pump out resources from the countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America to sustain the West’s dominance and ensure a high standard of living for its people.
The methods can vary from sanctions pressure to coercion into signing unequal predatory agreements. Clearly, this slows down the development of the Global South and the Global East, particularly the poorest and the least developed nations among them.
The developing countries keep raising the issue of their rightful spot in the global division of labour, which, in its current form, is a stark manifestation of modern neocolonialism in and of itself. <...>
We have no illusions and we are clear-eyed about the fact that Western neocolonialists will never give up their privileges of their own accord.
Everyone can see that the West is shamelessly leveraging international financial institutions to promote its self-serving interests. The IMF and the WTO have been politicised, and "undesirable" members of these organisations are being openly discriminated against.
This is why, alongside our like-minded partners from around the world, we believe that bringing principles and governance system established by the Bretton Woods institutions in line with the realities of the global economy is a long time coming. In fact, the G7 economies account for less than a third of global GDP, whereas BRICS nations make up 36 percent.
☝️ The West ostensibly agrees with this view, but is unwilling to take action.
