💬 Украина при помощи стран НАТО превратилась в центр скопления террористов и наёмников всех мастей.

Одновременно Запад не прекращает накачивать киевский режим оружием. Все это делается с единственной целью – максимально затянуть боевые действия на Украине и препятствовать мирному урегулированию конфликта.

❗️ При этом ни США, ни их натовские партнеры не в состоянии отследить конечный пункт доставки своего вооружения и гарантировать его использование только вооруженными силами Украины.

На Западе открыто призывают Киев атаковать Россию, используя в том числе полученное от натовских стран оружие. В Киеве это восприняли как руководство к действию.

Дальнейшее провоцирование Украины на нанесения ударов по российским объектам обязательно приведет к жёсткому ответу со стороны России, а находящиеся в украинских центрах принятия решений советники из западных стран «не обязательно будут проблемой для ответных действий России».

#Opinion by Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova

Nuclear DisInfo (Read in full)

Mechanisms for information attacks with a new thesis that target the public space have been launched in the West at the highest level in a transboundary and trans-format manner. The premise is primitive and completely horrifying: the Russians are threatening a nuclear war, and the Russians are waving the nuclear stick.

⁉️ Do I even need to say that this thesis is absolutely incorrect and false? Apparently, I do.

They are pushing this exact thesis because it plays on basic human fears, the experience of the older generation, which throughout the second half of the 20th century was bracing for the Third World War against global communism, and Western youth, for which their respective governments have come up with a new mechanism called “cancel culture” (cancelling everything Russian this time). Moreover, the West absolutely does not care what Moscow really says, and the meaning of words is distorted and outwardly perverted.

Let’s consider the specifics.

Two days ago, in his answer to a question by Dimitri Simes during an interview, Sergey Lavrov said literally the following 👉 full quote

What are the takeaways?

1. It was Russia that, with great difficulty, convinced the United States during lengthy talks to reaffirm the Gorbachev-Reagan formula that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.

2. It was Russia that persuaded the group of five nuclear nations to adopt a statement with the same content.

3. There are risks; they should not be blown out of proportion or underestimated.

We did everything possible to prevent a nuclear war, to create all the necessary obstacles on the way to slipping into this scenario (fortunately, they justified themselves during the Cold War and are working today), because we understand the real risks and threats posed by irresponsible behaviour in this area. We cannot allow the very thought of a nuclear war.

Now acting in the worst traditions of disinformation, Western officials are feeding the media, in a coordinated effort, fake news about Moscow’s alleged nuclear threats. The foreign ministries from the NATO countries started convincing the people in their countries that the Russians were “rattling their weapons.”

<...>

Notice how clumsy this was in terms of media work. First, all the put-up quotes against our country were repeated by the journalist, and then they were again mentioned by Ned Price. A presentation designed for a not too sophisticated public. No one even paid attention to what the Foreign Minister said about the risks and Russia’s attempts to prevent the unthinkable.

It’s unthinkable to us, but, mindful of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it is, unfortunately, possible for our colleagues from overseas.

The next day, the media started mass brainwashing. The British tabloids (the Daily Mail and others) and the high-quality analytical US press, French television and German tabloid magazines started talking with one voice that Moscow was threatening with a Third World Nuclear War. And this was already being discussed in Europe; French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said that the Russian Foreign Minister’s words were the “rhetoric of intimidation.”

I would like to ask this Frenchman whether he at least saw what Sergey Lavrov said? We have translated the interview.

Our country is against any nuclear war, and this is exactly what the Russian Minister said, and this is what guides our diplomacy in its work.

Could it be that the Western capitals read the interviews as presented by the Western media? This is the only thing that can justify their words. To avoid that, one should simply DON'T turn off alternative sources of information, and listen to what Russia has to say close to the original text, rather than as interpreted by your media under NATO guidelines.

‼️Выдержки из выступления Постпреда России при ОБСЕ А.К.Лукашевича «О продолжающихся преступлениях Украины против гражданского населения при поддержке западного альянса государств-участников»(заседание Постоянного совета ОБСЕ,
28 апреля 2022 года):

▪️На освобожденных в рамках 🇷🇺 спецоперации территориях налаживается мирная жизнь, восстанавливаются объекты жизнеобеспечения, социальной инфраструктуры и жилищно-коммунального хозяйства, начаты посевные работы

▪️При этом отмечаем, что киевский режим продолжает препятствовать возвращению туда местного населения, блокируя все открываемые российской стороной гуманитарные коридоры

▪️В Николаеве боевики «территориальной обороны» установили у предприятия «Николаевский авиаремонтный завод» взрывные устройства, чтобы потом обвинить ВС 🇷🇺

▪️В Лисичанске ВСУ обстреляли центральный рынок, после чего туда была свезена разбитая техника и доставлены тела погибших 🇺🇦 военнослужащих, переодетых в гражданскую одежду, доставлены журналисты

▪️Заранее предупреждаем, что нам известно о планах Киева распространить дезинформацию о так называемых «бесчинствах русских» в Лисичанске

🇪🇺 выделяет средства на дальнейшее распространение украинской дезинформации. 7,5 млн. евро пойдут на «обучение» сотрудников правоохранительных органов 🇺🇦 для расследования якобы имевших место «преступлений 🇷🇺 армии»

▪️ЕС с тем же рвением не содействовал раскрытию деталей о реальных трагических событиях – расстрелов на «майдане» в феврале 2014 года или кровавых событий в Одессе мая 2014 года

▪️В попытке убедить общественность в том, что на Украине нет проявлений неонацизма, западные СМИ доходят до абсурда. Защищают 🇺🇦 батальон «Азов», несмотря на открытую поддержку им нацистской идеологии

▪️За последние недели на подконтрольных ВСУ территориях произошли чудовищные акты надругательства над мемориалами борцам с нацизмом во Второй мировой войне. Почему молчит руководство ОБСЕ?

▪️Киев продолжает использовать мирное население в военных целях. В Красном Лимане боевики 🇺🇦 формирований оборудовали опорный пункт в доме престарелых. Его персонал и пациентов насильно удерживают в качестве «живого щита»

▪️В Запорожье на улице Победы в городской клинической больнице 🏥 скорой помощи размещено подразделение ВСУ, а на прилегающей территории – бронетехника и огневые позиции артиллерии

▪️Украинские националисты продолжают удерживать в заложниках в качестве «живого щита» 90 иностранных граждан из пяти государств

▪️В портах Херсона, Николаева, Черноморска, Очакова, Одессы, Южного и Мариуполя из-за действий Украины остаются заблокированными 75 иностранных судов из 17 государств

‼️Extracts from the statement of Russian Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich “On ongoing crimes by Ukraine against civilian population with the support of Western alliance of OSCE participating States”, (meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 28 April 2022):


▪️Peaceful life is being restored in the territories liberated as part of the 🇷🇺 special operation, life support facilities, social infrastructure, houses and utility services are being restored, agricultural works resumed

▪️At the same time, the Kiev regime continues to prevent the return of the local population there, blocking all humanitarian corridors opened by the Russian Armed Forces

▪️In Nikolaev, fighters of the "territorial defense" installed explosive devices near the "Nikolaev Aircraft Repair Plant" enterprise in order to put the blame on the 🇷🇺 armed forces

▪️In the city of Lisichansk the Armed Forces of 🇺🇦 fired at the central market, after which the broken equipment was brought there as well as bodies of the dead 🇺🇦 servicemen dressed in civilian clothes, journalists were invited

▪️We are warning in advance that all facts about Kiev’s plans to spread disinformation about the so-called “Russian atrocities” in Lysichansk are well known

🇪🇺 allocates funds for the further spread of Ukrainian disinformation. 7.5 million € will go to the "training" of law enforcement officers 🇺🇦 to investigate the alleged "crimes of the 🇷🇺 army"

▪️The EU has not demonstrated the same zeal in contributing to the disclosure of details about the real tragic events - the shootings on "Maidan" in February 2014 or the bloody events in Odessa in May 2014

▪️In an attempt to convince the public that there are no manifestations of neo-Nazism in 🇺🇦, Western media reach the point of absurdity. They defend the 🇺🇦 Azov Battalion, despite its open support of Nazi ideology

▪️In recent weeks, monstrous acts of desecration of memorials to the fighters against Nazism in World War II have taken place in the territories controlled by the Armed Forces of 🇺🇦. Why does the OSCE leadership keep silence?

▪️Kiev continues to use civilians for military purposes. In Krasny Liman, fighters of 🇺🇦 formations equipped a stronghold in a nursing home, its staff and patients being forcibly held as "human shield"

▪️In Zaporozhye, on Pobeda Street, the city’s clinical emergency hospital 🏥 was occupied by a unit of the Armed Forces of 🇺🇦 with armored vehicles and artillery firing positions located on the adjacent territory

▪️Ukrainian nationalists continue to hold 90 foreign citizens from five countries hostage as a "human shield"

▪️75 foreign ships from 17 countries remain blocked due to Ukraine's actions in the ports of Kherson, Nikolaev, Chornomorsk, Ochakov, Odessa, Yuzhny and Mariupol

🇷🇺🇦🇫 Из заявления С.В.Лаврова о ситуации вокруг Афганистана:

ЧИТАТЬ ПОЛНОСТЬЮ

Хотел бы отметить нашу приверженность международному праву, как и всех остальных членов мирового сообщества в том, что касается официального, юридического и международно-правового признания новых афганских властей.

Для этого считаем, что им необходимо продолжать усилия по борьбе с террористическими организациями, которые пока, к сожалению, в Афганистане сохраняют свои позиции, усилия по борьбе с наркотрафиком.

Также необходимо обеспечить выполнение ещё одного своего обязательства, которое талибы взяли на себя публично, придя к власти, а именно, создание инклюзивного этнополитического правительства, в котором должны быть представлены не только представители различных этнических и конфессиональных групп, но и представители всех ключевых политических движений страны.

🟥 On April 30, 1945, during the storming of the #Reichstag, the first Red Banner was installed on its facade by 20-year-old Rakhimzhan #Koshkarbaev and 19-year-old Grigory #Bulatov.

🎖For the heroism shown during the battle, they were awarded the Order of the Red Banner.

🔔Выдержки из выступления Постпреда России при ОБСЕ А.К.Лукашевича «О продолжающихся грубых нарушений русского и русскоязычного населения в некоторых государствах-участниках ОБСЕ»(заседание Постоянного совета ОБСЕ, 28 апреля 2022 года):

👉🏻Позорное явление русофобии стало неотъемлемой частью новой реальности в ряде государств-участников ОБСЕ. С труднообъяснимым восторгом искореняется все, что связано с Россией, грубо попираются права и свободы русского и русскоязычного населения, включая детей

 👉🏻Правозащитные структуры ООН и ОБСЕ не реагируют должным образом на эти вопиющие случаи дискриминации и расизма, когда людей преследуют просто за их происхождение, язык или культуру

 👉🏻Развернувшаяся русофобия имеет множество уродливых проявлений и затрагивает практически все сферы жизни, включая историческую память. «На камеру» варварски демонтируются памятники, оскверняются воинские захоронения и др.

👉🏻Страшная картина наблюдается в Польше, где из 561 памятников сохранилось только 100. Осквернение и вандализм в отношении советского военно-мемориального наследия продолжается в Латвии, Литве, Эстонии, Чехии, Словакии

 👉🏻Призываем исполнительные структуры ОБСЕ дать принципиальную оценку «расцвету» русофобии, а государства-участников прекратить пренебрежение своими обязательствами и реально противодействовать дискриминации русского и русскоязычного населения

🔔Extracts from the statement of Russian Permanent Representative to the OSCE Alexander Lukashevich “On the continuing gross violations of the Russian and Russian-speaking population in some OSCE participating States”(meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council, 28 April 2022):

👉🏻The shameful phenomenon of Russophobia has become an integral part of new reality in a number of OSCE pS. Everything related to Russia is being enthusiastically eradicated, rights & freedoms of Russian/Russian-speaking population, incl. children, are flagrantly violated.

👉🏻#UN and #OSCE human rights bodies do not react properly to these blatant cases of discrimination and racism when people are persecuted simply due to their origin, language or culture

👉🏻The unfolding Russophobia has many ugly manifestations and affects almost all spheres of life, including historical memory. Barbarous dismantling of monuments takes place “on camera”, war graves are desecrated etc.

👉🏻A terrible picture is observed in Poland, where only 100 out of 561 monuments remain. Desecration and vandalism against the Soviet military memorial heritage continue continue in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia

👉🏻We call on the OSCE executive structures to give a principled assessment of the flourishing of Russophobia, and on OSCE pS to stop neglecting their commitments and to really counter discrimination against the Russian/ Russian-speaking population
 

🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on Ukraine’s case in the International Criminal Court

💬 An announcement made on April 25 to the effect that the International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor’s Office will join the Joint Investigation Group comprised of Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine and created under the auspices of Eurojust has come to our attention.

Everyone is aware of how such entities operate. It is safe to assume that the work of their brainchild will be similarly biased and one-sided.

☝️ If anyone doubts that the ICC is a body that is fulfilling political orders and has nothing to do with independent justice, this new “creative” format has made it perfectly clear.

We would like to ask the ICC Prosecutor’s Office and the countries that are now so concerned about justice in Ukraine why, for eight years, they ignored the suffering of Donbass residents?

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova:

💬 Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby is losing his nerve. He is being rude, insulting, and troublesome. He said some nonsense about the Russian President.

Among other gibberish, he said it was “hard to look at what Russian forces are doing in Ukraine.” Really? How hard can it be for an American rear admiral to look at anything?

Kirby has an impressive service record: 28 years in the Navy (1986-2015), including as Chief of Navy Information. This means he was among the senior US officers who received all of the Pentagon’s information, so he was aware of literally everything. He knew about depleted uranium in Yugoslavia and about the Iraq War Logs, as they now call a large body of documents testifying to war crimes committed by US military personnel in Iraq.

We learned about all this thanks to Wikileaks and its creators, who are being destroyed by Kirby’s colleagues, but John read these reports every day: about thousands and thousands of civilians who died in Iraqi and Syrian villages from the atrocities of the American troops. Considering the level of the US military’s equipment, there is no doubt that he saw photographs and video footage. I wonder, was it difficult for him to watch those inhuman spectacles?

But it’s different now. I can see 2️⃣ reasons for that.

First, his agency was caught engaging in illegal activities: developing biological weapons in Ukraine. Everyone would start to lose their nerve, considering the US international obligations.

Second, all of this is happening at the same time as the political team is leaving the White House. Everyone is fleeing. According to US media, the outflow of high-ranking officials from the White House has started. The reason given by experts in the United States is pervasive pessimism due to the lack of trust in the Administration and Biden personally.

If the control over Congress goes to the Republicans, these guys won’t know what hit them. Kirby will be the first to get dragged through public hearings. No, it will be Nuland first. Then Kirby.

I have already written about the sudden desire of Daleep Singh, Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economics in the President’s Administration, the architect of anti-Russian sanctions, to take a break from his hard work.

☝️ It turns out many of them are feeling the strain of the past year.

According to US media, Senior Advisor to the President, Director of the Office of Public Engagement Cedric Richmond is about to retire; National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy, Deputy White House Communications Director Pili Tobar, and Chief of Staff for the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate Dan Feldman are all planning to retire, too.

John Kerry is considering leaving the ship by the end of the year, according to the same American media. But I believe in him. It would be dishonourable to leave climate and Biden at a moment like this.

I don’t even want to write about what’s going on in the team of US Vice President Kamala Harris. It’s an exodus. Chiefs of staff and the press service will follow the lead of dozens of key staff members who have already left.

❗️ So what’s hard for Kirby is to look at his own future, not at the developments in Ukraine.
