🎙 President Vladimir Putin's address to Russian citizens on the outcome of the presidential election (March 21, 2024)
💬 The official results of the presidential election were announced today. The election campaign, which was extremely important for our country, society and citizens, has come to a close.
<...>
This election campaign was intense and extremely important. At the end of the day, we were choosing Russia's future direction; we were deciding on our own future and that of our children. The absolute majority of the voters who cast their ballot realised the significance of this event.
Once again, I would like to thank everyone who took part in the voting, regardless of which candidate you voted for. Most importantly, you have shown that you treat your civic duty with respect, value freedom of choice and your vote, and to reiterate, every one of your votes was of great importance.
<...>
Thank you for your support. It is more important to me than the formal victory in the elections. It signifies support for the political and economic policies of our country and our overall results, which, of course, should be more extensive, but are nonetheless making Russia stronger and more independent.
A few words about the performance of election commissions at all levels. As always, you acted efficiently and competently, adhering to the principles of transparency and strict compliance with the law. The members of the election commissions in our historical territories showed courage and bravery, serving as an example for voters.
Thank you for your trust. <...> We will do everything possible to ensure the successful implementation of the ambitious national projects and programmes that I recently outlined in my Address.
🇷🇺 The elections have revealed that Russia today is one big, closely-knit family. We are steadfastly following the historical path we have chosen. We have confidence in ourselves, our abilities, and our future.

🇷🇺🇷🇸 Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during a meeting with First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Serbia Ivica Dacic (Moscow, March 21, 2024)
💬 We are glad to see you. We value the relations that are developing between the Russian Federation and Serbia. Their direction is set by regular contacts between our presidents, Vladimir Putin and Aleksandar Vucic. <...>
⚽️ Today we will attend a football match between the Russian and Serbian national teams. The interest in this event will be enormous. The stadium will be full. I am sure the players will show their best game.
☝️Such meetings strengthen the foundations of the international sport movement and fully comply with the principles of Olympism, which have been going through trials in recent years. This is not least due to the position of the IOC. We consider it unacceptable to politicise sport.
This Western policy continues with the support of international officials. It does not look like it will end anytime soon. It reflects the course taken by the "collective West", led by the United States, towards the politicisation of all international relations, including trade and economic relations. Their actions discredit the institutions (International Monetary Fund, World Bank, World Trade Organisation) created after World War II to regulate global processes. <...>
🇺🇳 Of particular importance is collective work at the UN and other multilateral structures to uphold the principles underlying the international system created after the Second World War. The West is clearly not interested in fulfilling them. <...>
Today we expect to discuss in depth our bilateral affairs and cooperation on international platforms. We are interested in hearing your assessment of what is happening in the Balkans, where a serious situation has developed. We are all interested in preventing new crises.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview for the documentary series Oil (Moscow, March 21, 2024)
Key points:
🔹 All natural resources on which economic development, influence and might depend are instruments of political struggle. <...> The Americans have been using oil and oil prices as a weapon.
🔹 What is the oil price cap imposed on Russian oil by the Americans, which the West was pressured to adopt as well? It is flagrant interference in the workings and principles of the free market, which the Americans have been promoting for decades.
🔹 The pinnacle of using hydrocarbons as a weapon was the explosion of the Nord Stream pipelines. <...> It is evidence of the current German government’s impotence and inability not just to think independently but to even protect its vital interests.
🔹 Everyone is well aware of Washington’s methods. <...> When talking with Washington, you need to firmly press for your own advantage and never expect it to fulfil its sweet promises.
🔹 The OPEC Plus, where both Iran and Russia are members, has a clear formula for reaching agreements and finding compromises. It has been used for years, and nobody has been disadvantaged or dissatisfied.
🔹 In Syria, the oil and grain production is concentrated in the northeast, and the Americans have occupied this area. They are producing oil there and are stealing it. <...> This is colonialism pure and simple.
🔹 Oil, gas and hydrocarbons in general will continue to play the key role in the development of the global economy and in ensuring the well-being of nearly all countries for a long time to come, for many decades.

❗️On Britain’s global disinformation campaigns
📰 The ongoing conspiracy campaign in Britain, sparked by the prolonged absence from the public eye of Princess Catherine of Wales, wife of the heir to the British throne, Prince William, has shed new light on the corrupt nature of the British political establishment. At its core lies a fundamental desire to exert complete control over public opinion, both at home and far beyond its borders, achieved through large-scale media manipulation and the dissemination of fabricated narratives. <...>
🔻 The British ecosystem of lies and provocations goes beyond just collusion between the political class, security services and the media aimed at interfering in other countries’ internal affairs. Russia has already commented on this.
🔻 In fact, these entities have merged, even though in a democratic state they should remain independent from each other. Detailed information about the long-standing collaboration between the British security services, Foreign Office, the media and NGOs to recruit foreign activists and journalists is available on the website of the investigative online resource Underside.
🔻 The British authorities wait for an opportune moment to plant a carefully crafted version of events and then accuse undesirable media outlets of spreading fake news. For example, the British media accused RIA Novosti and Sputnik of disseminating fake news about the alleged death of Charles III, although the articles they published contained completely opposite information. <...> The Russian media outlets were accused of trying to check the widely circulated “sensational” news <...>
🔻 It is evident that the UK has finally secured the status of a factory manufacturing falsehoods. It has completely abandoned the culture of honest dialogue between the authorities and the public, as evidenced by a ceaseless stream of contrived “sensations,” stage-managed misinformation plants, and scandals featuring patently false assertions by top national leaders.

Even though the collective West and its hired provocateurs spared no effort to, first, obstruct the voting, then to smear it, to downplay its importance, to make a show out of it <...> Despite all their plans, the Westerners failed.
Our citizens who came to vote in the presidential election were the best answer to the Western information, or rather disinformation, campaign.
They wanted it the worst, but it went our way!
#Ukraine
The West continues to use Ukraine as a battleground to dispose of obsolete weapons.
The National Interest openly writes that the Zelensky regime’s allies see nothing wrong in dumping unneeded military junk and scrap metal into the embattled country under the guise of aid. That includes decommissioned French AMC-10RC tanks that were manufactured in 2000, refurbished British Challenger-2s, and American Ml Abrams tanks.
#Decolonization
London has repeatedly ignored the inconvenient legacy of its colonial past.
❗️ We call on British officials to stop enshrouding their past crimes with high-flown rhetoric. England’s ruling class must take practical steps to pay compensation to the descendants of slave trade victims, and finally apologise to other peoples for their brutal treatment.
It will not be an easy path, but London has to do it.

🎙 Обращение Президента России В.В.Путина в связи с терактом в «Крокус Сити Холле»
💬 Обращаюсь к вам в связи с кровавым, варварским террористическим актом, жертвами которого стали десятки мирных, ни в чём не повинных людей – наши соотечественники, в том числе дети, подростки, женщины.
<...>
Выражаю глубокие, искренние соболезнования всем, кто потерял своих родных и близких. Вместе с вами скорбит вся страна, весь наш народ.
🕯 24 марта объявляю днём общенационального траура.
<...>
Что касается расследования этого преступления и результатов оперативно-разыскных действий, то в настоящее время можно сказать следующее. Все четверо непосредственных исполнителей теракта найдены и задержаны.
❗️ Они пытались скрыться и двигались в сторону Украины, где, по предварительным данным, для них с украинской стороны было подготовлено окно для перехода государственной границы.
Всего задержано 11 человек. Федеральная служба безопасности России, другие правоохранительные органы работают над выявлением, вскрытием всей пособнической базы террористов: тех, кто обеспечивал их транспортом, намечал пути отхода от места преступления, готовил схроны, тайники с оружием и боеприпасами.
<...>
Все исполнители, организаторы и заказчики этого преступления понесут справедливое и неизбежное наказание. Кем бы они ни были, кто бы их ни направлял. Повторю: мы установим и покараем каждого, кто стоит за спиной террористов, кто готовил это злодеяние, этот удар по России, по нашему народу.
Мы знаем, что такое угроза терроризма. Рассчитываем здесь на взаимодействие со всеми государствами, которые искренне разделяют нашу боль и готовы на деле реально объединять усилия в борьбе с общим врагом, международным терроризмом, со всеми его проявлениями.
Террористов, убийц, нелюдей, у которых нет и не может быть национальности, ждёт одна незавидная участь – возмездие и забвение.
<...>
☝️ Россия не раз проходила через тяжелейшие, порой невыносимые испытания, но становилась ещё сильнее. Так будет и сейчас.

🎙 President Vladimir Putin's address following the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall (March 23, 2024)
💬 I am addressing you today in connection with a horrific and savage act of terrorism, which claimed the lives of dozens of peaceful, innocent people – including children, teenagers, and women.
<...>
I express my deepest and most sincere condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones. The entire country, all our people are grieving together with you.
🕯 I declare March 24 a day of national mourning.
<...>
Regarding the investigation of this crime and the results of the operational search action, we can currently say the following. All four perpetrators, who were directly involved in the terrorist attack, all those who shot and killed people, have been found and apprehended.
❗️ They attempted to escape and were heading towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary information, a window was prepared for them on the Ukrainian side to cross the state border.
A total of 11 people have been detained. The Federal Security Service and other law enforcement agencies are working diligently to identify and expose the accomplice base behind these terrorists: those who provided them with transport, planned escape routes from the crime scene, and prepared caches with weapons and ammunition.
<...>
All perpetrators, organisers and masterminds of this crime will face fair and inevitable punishment.
<...>
We understand what the terrorist threat means. In this regard, we rely on cooperation with all states that sincerely share our pain and are ready to really join forces in the fight against a common enemy, international terrorism and all its manifestations.
Terrorists, murderers, those inhumane individuals who have no nationality and cannot have one, face one and the same gloomy prospect – retribution and oblivion.

⚡️ Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on condolences and expressions of support received from abroad following the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall
💬 From the first minutes after news of the horrific terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall complex broke, numerous calls, letters, notes, and official messages began to arrive from heads of state and government, heads of foreign countries’ government agencies, international organisations, NGOs, religious associations and concerned citizens. Statements have been released by presidents, ministers, parliamentarians and public figures from various foreign countries.
These statements express profound condolences to the families and friends of the victims and survivors, words of support and solidarity with the Russian people, and a categorical rejection of this terrible crime. Spontaneous memorials are appearing in front of Russian diplomatic missions abroad, where people are bringing flowers and candles.
🇺🇳 At Russia's initiative, the UN Security Council adopted a statement strongly condemning the heinous and cowardly terrorist attack in the Moscow Region. The UN Secretary-General also condemned the terrorist attack "in the strongest possible terms" and expressed his condolences to the people and Government of Russia. In telephone conversations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, the foreign ministers Azerbaijan, Hungary, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Mali and Türkiye expressed their condolences.
Russia has first-hand knowledge of terrorism. Our country faced its manifestations in the most inhuman forms in the 1990s and early 2000s, when it was fighting a terrorist insurgency in the North Caucasus, and hundreds of innocent Russians lost their lives. In September 2001, Russia was the first to respond to the pain of the American people following the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in New York and assisted the international coalition in the anti-terrorist operation in Afghanistan. Since 2015, at the request of the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic, Russia has been participating in the fight against terrorist groups in that Middle Eastern country.
❗️ Over the past few years, the Kiev regime has been carrying out active and systematic terrorist attacks against Russian citizens: systematic shelling of residential neighbourhoods, including kindergartens, schools and medical institutions, attacks on critical civilian infrastructure, including transport and energy facilities, and assassination attempts against public figures and journalists.
Our country supports all efforts aimed at countering international terrorism and condemns it in all its forms and manifestations, regardless of where terrorist attacks may be committed. Deliberate killing of civilians for any purpose is unacceptable. The fight against this evil must remain the focus of all healthy forces within the international community.
Russian security services and law enforcement agencies are investigating the incident. The perpetrators, organisers and masterminds will be brought to justice, and appropriate legal and political assessments will be provided.
🕯 We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who did not remain indifferent to this tragedy.
💬 From the first minutes after news of the horrific terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall complex broke, numerous calls, letters, notes, and official messages began to arrive from heads of state and government, heads of foreign countries’ government agencies, international organisations, NGOs, religious associations and concerned citizens. Statements have been released by presidents, ministers, parliamentarians and public figures from various foreign countries.
These statements express profound condolences to the families and friends of the victims and survivors, words of support and solidarity with the Russian people, and a categorical rejection of this terrible crime. Spontaneous memorials are appearing in front of Russian diplomatic missions abroad, where people are bringing flowers and candles.
🇺🇳 At Russia's initiative, the UN Security Council adopted a statement strongly condemning the heinous and cowardly terrorist attack in the Moscow Region. The UN Secretary-General also condemned the terrorist attack "in the strongest possible terms" and expressed his condolences to the people and Government of Russia. In telephone conversations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, the foreign ministers Azerbaijan, Hungary, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Mali and Türkiye expressed their condolences.
Russia has first-hand knowledge of terrorism. Our country faced its manifestations in the most inhuman forms in the 1990s and early 2000s, when it was fighting a terrorist insurgency in the North Caucasus, and hundreds of innocent Russians lost their lives. In September 2001, Russia was the first to respond to the pain of the American people following the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers in New York and assisted the international coalition in the anti-terrorist operation in Afghanistan. Since 2015, at the request of the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic, Russia has been participating in the fight against terrorist groups in that Middle Eastern country.
❗️ Over the past few years, the Kiev regime has been carrying out active and systematic terrorist attacks against Russian citizens: systematic shelling of residential neighbourhoods, including kindergartens, schools and medical institutions, attacks on critical civilian infrastructure, including transport and energy facilities, and assassination attempts against public figures and journalists.
Our country supports all efforts aimed at countering international terrorism and condemns it in all its forms and manifestations, regardless of where terrorist attacks may be committed.
