❌ 3 сентября Лондон объявил об очередных неправомерных ограничительных мерах. На этот раз в отношении молодёжного «Движения первых», организаций «Волонтёры Победы», Фонда имени Ахмата Кадырова, ряда физических лиц.
В качестве обоснования используется не соответствующая действительности информация. В частности, приведены домыслы о якобы насильственном перемещении с территории Украины в Россию 19,5 тыс. детей.
Напомним, что в ходе российско-украинских переговоров в Стамбуле 2 июня Киев представил список из 339 украинских детей, оказавшихся в сложной ситуации из-за вооружённого конфликта на Украине.
30% данных из этого списка не подтвердились. Значительная часть этих детей либо никогда не были в России, либо они являются совершеннолетними или уже вернулись к семьям.
Здоровье и благополучие детей – наш приоритет. Ни о каком похищении речи быть не может. Жизни детей были спасены благодаря оперативно организованной эвакуации из зоны боевых действий. Все они находятся в безопасности. Уполномоченные по правам ребёнка ведут работу по их воссоединению с родными.
❗️ Призываем британские власти впредь воздерживаться от голословных обвинений и не мешать работе по защите прав и интересов несовершеннолетних.
Циничным выглядит и решение Лондона приурочить введение санкций против тех, кто занимается сохранением памяти о нашей общей Победе во Второй мировой войне, к 3 сентября – годовщине её окончания.

❌ On 3 September, London announced yet another set of unlawful restrictive measures. This time they target the organisations Movement of the First, Volunteers of Victory and the Akhmat Kadyrov Foundation, as well as several individuals.
The justification offered is based on untrue information. In particular, it cites unfounded claims regarding the alleged forcible transfer of 19,500 children from Ukraine to Russia.
It is worth recalling that during Russia-Ukraine negotiations in Istanbul on 2 June Kiev submitted a list of 339 Ukrainian children who had found themselves in a difficult situation as a result of the armed conflict in Ukraine.
30% of the data on this list were not confirmed. A significant number of these children had either never been to Russia, had already reached adulthood or had returned to their families.
The health and wellbeing of children is our top priority. Any talk of "abductions" is entirely misplaced. The children's lives were saved thanks to the swift evacuation from the combat zone. They are all safe. The Children's Rights Commissioners are working to reunite them with their relatives.
❗️ We call upon the UK authorities to refrain from making baseless accusations in future and to avoid hindering the efforts aimed at protecting the rights and interests of minors.
Equally cynical is London's decision to time the introduction of sanctions against those engaged in preserving the memory of our shared Victory in the Second World War to 3 September – the anniversary of its conclusion.

🎙 Key takeaways from President Vladimir Putin's answers to media questions following his official visit to China (Beijing, 3 September)
• Every country has the right to choose its own system of ensuring its security. This applies to all states, including Ukraine. But this also means that the security of one side cannot be built at the expense of the security of another party – in this case, the Russian Federation.
• We have always opposed Ukraine's membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. But we have never questioned its right to conduct its economic and business activities as it wishes, including joining the European Union.
• Security guarantees are a natural necessity. We proceed from the fact that every country should have them, a security system, and Ukraine is no exception. But this is not connected to any swaps, especially those of territories. We are fighting not so much for territories as for the right of people living in these territories to speak their native language, to live within their culture and within the traditions passed down from previous generations.
• If a meeting [with Vladimir Zelensky] is well-prepared and may potentially lead to positive results, we can have it, and I never turned this idea down.
• If common sense ultimately prevails, an acceptable option for ending the Ukraine conflict can be agreed upon. [...] If not, we will have to achieve the tasks set before us by military means.
• The Ukrainian Armed Forces are not capable of conducting large-scale offensive operations, and are only focused on holding their existing lines. This is happening across almost the entire line of contact.
• Multipolarity does not mean the emergence of new hegemons. No one raises such a question, either within the SCO, or within BRICS. All participants in international affairs should have equal rights, and all should be in the same position, from the standpoint of international law.
• The activities of the SCO and our partners are not aimed at antagonising anyone. They are aimed at finding the best ways to develop ourselves, our countries, our peoples and our economies.

⚡️ 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.

❌ Министр обороны Британии Джон Хили признался, что британское правительство наделило себя правом распоряжаться более чем 1 млрд фунтов стерлингов из доходов от «замороженных» российских госактивов и потратило их на военную помощь Украине. Присвоение чужих денег в любой юрисдикции, в т.ч. в британской, является преступлением со всеми вытекающими последствиями для тех, кто его совершил.
Нас не удивляет продолжение традиций банального воровства на международном уровне. Это стало визитной карточкой Британии ещё с колониальных времён. Однако таким «традициям» нет оправдания.
Попытки Дж.Хили представить кражу наших авуаров как вклад в достижение «справедливого и прочного мира» на Украине не должны вводить в заблуждение. Поставки западного оружия множат жертвы среди мирного населения, приводят к новым разрушениям и, в конечном счёте, затягивают конфликт, продлевая агонию киевского режима.
Не сомневаемся в желании правительства Соединённого Королевства не тратить на поддержание украинского конфликта деньги британских налогоплательщиков. Особенно в условиях необходимости решения острейших социально-экономических проблем, с которыми в последнее время страна сталкивается всё чаще. Однако пускать на эти цели краденные деньги – плохая идея. Преступное изъятие чужого имущества и его использование в геополитических авантюрах ещё больше подрывает международную репутацию Лондона, в том числе в глазах зарубежных инвесторов.
❗️ Британское правительство должно понимать: любые недружественные шаги против России и её законных интересов не останутся без ответа.
