🎙️Комментарий Посольства России в связи с антироссийскими ограничительными мерами Лондона, 22 февраля 2024 года
▪︎Очередной рестриктивный «пакет», проштампованный Лондоном в привязке ко второй годовщине СВО, убедительно демонстрирует выхолащивание практического смысла у некогда хваленых «санкций». Теперь они театрально используются британским официозом, чтобы отмечать «юбилейные» даты и красоваться перед партнерами на международных площадках.
▪︎Трагический парадокс ситуации в том, что в Лондоне ровно 10 лет назад деятельно поддержали антиконституционный госпереворот в Киеве, приведший к власти националистический антироссийский режим. Подбадривали его на агрессивные провокации против Донбасса и воссоединившегося с Россией Крыма, закрывая глаза на невыполнение Киевом минского «Комплекса мер». Деятельно подпитывали ВСУ поставками вооружений и военными тренировками. После начала СВО полностью взяли киевский режим на поруки, фактически сорвав начавшиеся переговоры с Россией о мирном урегулировании.
▪︎Теперь же, когда режим В.Зеленского терпит поражение за поражением, в Лондоне с помощью противоправных ограничительных мер пытаются бороться с последствиями своих же ошибочных решений.
▪︎Эмоциональные выпады британских официальных лиц, требующих от России «раскаяться» и «заплатить» за свои действия, лишний раз подтверждают – западная политика санкций, шантажа и конфронтации потерпела крах.
☝️Россия продолжит всеми законными методами защищать свое благополучие и безопасность. Цели СВО будут достигнуты в полном объеме.
❗Что касается очередных нелегитимных и произвольных ограничений британской стороны, они не останутся без ответа.

On this holiday, we pay our deepest respects to our heroic fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers who crushed Nazism, we take out the military orders and medals, photographs and letters from frontline soldiers, say a heartfelt thank you and warmly embrace our dear veterans. We will always remember that it was the Soviet people who defended the freedom of Russia, all of Europe and the entire world.
Russian soldiers and officers are honourably carrying on these glorious military traditions. Today it is the participants of the special military operation who are on the frontlines. You fight for truth and justice; you show courage and valour in defence of Russia. You are true national heroes. We are proud of you, we admire your courage, we honour your exploits. We know it is difficult for you, and we will do everything possible to help you complete the mission you have been assigned.

On this day in 1918, in the vicinity of villages of the Bolshoe Lopatino and Maloe Lopatino near Pskov, the fighters of the 2nd Red Army Corps started to fight against an advanced detachment of German troops that were marching toward Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg).
That is why upon the initiative of the Petrograd Council, February 23 was proclaimed the Red Army Day.
🎆 After the World War II, in Moscow, the other capitals of the USSR's Republics, as well as hero cities, and the hero fortress of Brest, established a tradition to perform solemn artillery salutes on February 23rd.
On this day, by long-standing custom, people meet with veterans, pay tribute and lay flowers to the graves of fallen soldiers, participate in solemn ceremonies.

Excerpts from the interview:
I have no doubts that Russia is going to win in the Ukrainian conflict. I would like to attract your attention that Russia is much better adapted now, the political situation and economy are stable. President Vladimir Putin is supported by majority of the Russian population.
Western sanctions did not bring disaster to Russia. We have self-sufficient military-industrial complex which is now working at full capacity.
We need to achieve the goals of the SMO, which have been clearly formulated by Russian President. The front line is moving steadily westwards, and there are no doubts that it will continue to move towards the western part of Ukraine.
Ukraine should become neutral and the Russian security interests should be taken into account not only by Ukraine but also by the West, especially by the US. The normal conditions for the Russian speaking population should be created in Ukraine as well.

⚡️The European Union remains in an "anti-Russian fever", losing its sense of reality and behaving as if it had a licence to interfere in the trade and economic relations of third countries.
The adoption of the thirteenth "package" of restrictions against Russia clearly shows that the sanctions toolkit has finally become a universal way for Brussels to communicate with the outside world. Well, this is "geopolitical Europe", and this is what the rules on which the EU believes the world order is based look like in action.
Another “package” is yet another act of symbolism, this time to mark the beginning of the Russian special military operation. Meanwhile, the EU fails to notice that it is making a mockery of itself with its obsession with special dates. The former European Union, which no longer exists and never will, attached symbolic importance to the creation of a single currency, the Schengen area and a common market for labour, capital, goods and services.
Now Brussels finds it much more relevant to assert itself at Russia's expense, to force European capitals to pursue an anti-Russian line, and to intimidate third countries. The EU is annoyed by sovereign states refusing to follow its flawed course. Brussels apparently finds it hard to understand that third countries pursue an independent policy and are guided by their own national interests.
❗️The states of the Global Majority see all this, understand it and, we are sure, will draw the appropriate conclusions. We have already drawn ours.

❓US President Biden came up with another rude remark about you. You have never said anything like that about any foreign leader, and you have never even taken the liberty to make any inappropriate remark. Will you respond the same way now?
💬 Vladimir Putin: Look, we recently talked and you asked me who we prefer to see as the new US president. I said we would work with any president. But for Russia, Biden is preferable. I am right, judging by what he said, because it is an adequate reaction to what I said.
Why? Because he cannot say to me, “Great, Vlad, thank you, you helped me a lot.” We understand what’s going on there in terms of domestic policy, and this is an absolutely adequate reaction. Which means I was right.
What I said was basically for our domestic audience, not the US. You are a Russian journalist, and you asked me what’s [who] better for us. I said then, and I will say it again: Biden.

🎙️Embassy comment on the illegitimate sanctions against Russia
▪︎Yet another batch of restrictive measures produced by London on occasion of the second anniversary of the launch of Russia’s Special Military Operation offers convincing proof that the once vaunted "sanctions" have forfeited any practical meaning. This is now a prop used by British officials to mark particular dates and show off in front of their partners at international fora.
▪︎The tragic paradox is that ten years ago London actively supported the unlawful coup d’etat in Kiev. The very same coup that swept a nationalistic anti-Russian regime to power. Turning a blind eye to Kiev’s unwillingness to implement the Minsk agreements, the British authorities encouraged aggressive provocations against Donbass and Crimea, after the latter reunified with Russia.
▪︎The UK supplied Ukrainian armed forces with weapons and trained them. Following the launch of the Special Military Operation, London assumed full responsibility for the Kiev regime and derailed peace negotiations with Russia.
▪︎Now, when Zelensky and his clique are stumbling from one defeat to the next, the UK Government is attempting to reverse the consequences of its own blunders through similarly unlawful sanctions.
❗As for the UK Government’s latest illegitimate and arbitrary restrictions, they will be met with a due response.
#Russia #UK #Ukraine #SMO #Sanctions
Emotional outbursts from British officials demanding that Russia “must be made to pay” underscore the futility of the Western policy of sanctions, blackmail and confrontation. Russia continues to protect its welfare and security with all lawful means. All objectives of the Special Military Operation will be achieved.

The Sides welcomed the intensified inter-parliamentary and inter-party contacts, as well as the development of humanitarian and sports ties.
🌐 Special attention was given to the practical aspects of interaction in the international arena, particularly in light of Russia’s BRICS chairmanship and Brazil’s G20 chairmanship in 2024.
The Officials agreed to coordinate activities in these formats and at the UN to advance the reform of global governance institutions, which should reflect the increased weight of the Global South countries in the economy and politics around the world.
The Parties exchanged opinions on developments related to Ukraine. President Lula da Silva confirmed Brazil’s commitment to conflict resolution based on the legitimate concerns of all Parties in the security sphere and emphasised the futility of unilateral initiatives and ultimatums.
☝️ Sergey Lavrov and President Lula da Silva expressed their shared concerns regarding the deep crisis in the Palestinian territories, which has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of civilians. They agreed that the UN Security Council should demand an immediate ceasefire, address grave humanitarian issues, and remove obstacles to the implementation of UN resolutions on the creation of a Palestinian state.

⚡️ Statement by the Foreign Ministry regarding the response to the 13th EU package of sanctions against Russia
The European Union continues its futile attempts to put pressure on Russia through unilateral restrictive measures. On February 23, the EU countries adopted the 13th package of sanctions. We consider these EU moves illegitimate and believe they undermine the international legal prerogatives of the UN Security Council.
⛔️ In response to this unfriendly move, the Russia has significantly expanded the list of representatives of European institutions and EU member states, who, under Federal Law No 114-FZ On the Procedure for Entering and Exiting the Russian Federation dated August 15, 1996, are denied entry to our country.
It concerns officials from law enforcement agencies and commercial organisations in the EU countries and EU nationals who are involved in providing military assistance to the neo-Nazi Kiev regime; representatives of European agencies engaged in prosecuting Russian officials for “illegal arrests and deportation of people from Ukrainian territories;” those who are involved in establishing a “tribunal” against the Russian leadership and collecting relevant materials; those who call for confiscation of Russian state assets or the use of the profits from them in the interests of Ukraine; those who support the sanctions against our country and try to undermine Russia’s relations with other states, and those who are engaged in distributing misinformation about our country.
The Russian stop-list also includes representatives of the Council of Europe, members of the legislative assemblies of the EU countries, participants in the Parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE and PACE, who systematically make unfriendly statements regarding Russia.
❗️This is to reiterate that any unfriendly actions by Western countries will be met with a timely and commensurate response.

▪︎По данным британского Минфина, к октябрю 2023 г. Великобритания «заморозила» российских госактивов на общую сумму около 23 млрд ф.ст. Лондон в принципе никогда не скрывал, что хотел бы окончательно отобрать у нас эти средства, якобы в пользу Украины.
▪︎Найти способ отъема замороженных средств, который бы соответствовал британской нормативной базе, непросто.
▪︎Есть Конвенция ООН (2004 г.) о юрисдикционных иммунитетах государств и их собственности. Великобритания ее подписала.
▪︎Есть Европейская конвенция об иммунитете государств 1972 г.
▪︎Наконец, еще в 1978 г. здесь принят Закон о государственном иммунитете. Он устанавливает, что собственность государства не может являться объектом принудительных мер в связи с судебным или арбитражным решением.
☝️Сейчас сложно предсказать, куда занесет англичан их собственная безответственность. Надеемся, что здравый смысл возобладает.

Meeting participants heard a report by MGIMO University Rector Anatoly Torkunov on the university’s activities in 2023 and plans for 2024, and discussed the progress of the university’s projects under the Priority-2030 strategic academic leadership programme.
Special attention was given to organising events to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the university’s foundation, which will be marked this year.

From the remarks of Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during a meeting of the MGIMO Supervisory Board (Moscow, February 26, 2024)
💬 As we can see with each day now, the collective West is not relaxing its efforts to systematically contain Russia, while the countries of the Global South and the Global East that represent the Global Majority have not only refused to join the anti-Russia sanctions, but stand ready to promote cooperation with us across a wide range of areas.
• MGIMO takes these circumstances into consideration in its practical work, as it handles its internal transformation caused by sweeping changes in the global geopolitical landscape with dignity.
• We refer to the ongoing developments rather simplistically as the “pivot to the East,” but Russia has never turned away from the East, just as it is not turning away from the West now. The West has turned away from us, but by virtue of its geographical location, history, culture and traditions our country remains open to honest cooperation with all nations along the perimeter of our borders and beyond.
