🎙 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.

🎙 Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations Sergey Lavrov's address to the President of the Security Council (March 24, 1999)
💬 The Russian Federation is profoundly outraged at the use by the NATO of military force against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
☝️ Those who are involved in this unilateral use of force against the sovereign Federal Republic of Yugoslavia — carried out in violation of the Charter of the United Nations and without the authorization of the Security Council — must realize the heavy responsibility they bear for subverting the Charter and other norms of international law and for attempting to establish in the world, de facto, the primacy of force and unilateral diktat.
The members of NATO are not ennoscriptd to decide the fate of other sovereign and independent States. They must not forget that they are not only members of their alliance, but also Members of the United Nations.
❌ Attempts to justify the NATO strikes with arguments about preventing a humanitarian catastrophe in Kosovo are completely untenable.
<...>
Attempts to apply a different standard to international law and to disregard its basic norms and principles create a dangerous precedent that could cause acute destabilization and chaos on the regional and global level.
The fact that NATO has opted to use force in Kosovo raises very serious questions about the sincerity of the repeated assurances that that alliance was not claiming the role of the world’s policeman and was prepared to cooperate in the interests of common European security.
❗️ The Russian Federation vehemently demands the immediate cessation of this illegal military action against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
