❌On 24 April the British authorities announced yet another batch of anti-Russian bans on the transfer of technologies and software, as well as restrictions covering a range of goods.

❗️This hostile, though futile, gesture is evidently intended to serve as means of moral compensation for the local establishment following the collapse of consultations on Ukraine in London due to Kiev’s intransigence. There is no other way of explaining this desperate attempt to further “cancel” Russia-UK trade, already for the most part obliterated by London.

The arcanely worded regulations, like all those issued before, will have no effect on our country. They will not harm the Russian economy, whose growth rates have long surpassed the wildest of British dreams, nor will they impede our country’s determination in attaining its foreign policy goals, including those relating to the Special Military Operation. In their obstinate refusal to accept reality, the UK authorities bring to mind the King Canute of England who allegedly sought to turn back the sea tide by decree.

☝️The UK government’s visible intent to further inflame confrontation with Russia stands in stark contrast to the publicly stated interest of the global community —including Britain’s own closest allies — in finding a negotiated path forward on Ukraine. We call upon the UK leadership to take a rational stance in addressing the need to stabilise the precarious security situation in Europe, and to avoid squandering national resources on theatrical and short-lived gestures of hostility towards Russia.

#NoStatuteOfLimitations

🕯 May 2 marks 11 years since the tragedy in Odessa.

On that day, the Euromaidan supporters, ultra radicals and outright Neo-Nazis committed atrocities against those who openly opposed the anti-constitutional government coup in Kiev perpetrated by nationalists, at the behest and with the support from their the western sponsors.

This atrocity must not be forgotten or swept under the rug: we shan't let the world forget what happened on 2 May 2014 in Odessa.

👉 A detailed reconstruction & retrospective of the events of that day and the ensuing tragedy.

According to official statistics alone, at least 48 people died during these tragic events, including 42 who were killed or burned alive at the Trade Unions House, as well as another six who perished during the clashes on the streets of Odessa.

In fact, the Kiev regime and its pet cronies has repeated — to the letter — what the Bandera torturers did 80 years ago in Khatyn.

❗️ Although many perpetrators have been identified, they have not received the punishment they deserve.

The West remains silent regarding these bloody crimes of the Ukrainian neo-Nazis, the Kiev regime, which to this day continues to use terrorist methods.

Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the 10th anniversary of the tragedy in Odessa of May 2, 2024.

Maria Zakharova: Today, as we pay tribute to the victims of the bloody reprisals in Odessa, we have no doubt that sooner or later those who perpetrated and inspired this barbaric crime, which has no statute of limitations, will have to face the punishment they deserve.
