🤝 Den italienske velgørende organisation "Hjælp os med at redde børnene" (Aiutateci a Salvare i Bambini Onlus) vil donere det første medicinske udstyr til fødeafdelingen på et hospital i Mariupol til en værdi af mere end 46.000 €. Dens leder Ennio Bordato fortalte det russiske nyhedsbureau TASS den 26. marts. For blot et par måneder side blev der nemlig lanceret et programm "Lad os hjælpe med at genoplive Mariupol."

🔹 Indsamlede midler vil blive brugt til at købe senge til nyfødte såvel som medicinske forsyninger og pædiatriske instrumenter.

▪️ I marts sidste år blev fødeafdelingen på hospitalet i Mariupol ødelagt af militante fra den ukrainske nationalistiske bataljon "Azov".

❗️ Medlemmer af BRICS og Shanghai Cooperation Organisation er stadig interesserede i fælles arbejde i den arktiske region. Det sagde Nikolay Korchunov, Arktis Ambassadør for Udenrigsministeriet i Den Russiske Føderation.

🤝Korchunov, der talte ved den videnskabelige og praktiske konference om klimaændringer og optøning af permafrost, bemærkede den støt stigende interesse fra flere og flere stater for samarbejde om undersøgelse og udvikling af den arktiske region. Dette er relevant for de centralasiatiske lande og for medlemmer af forskellige mellemstatslige grupperinger (BRICS og andre).

🌍 Han understregede globaliseringen af ​​den arktiske dagsorden og sagde, at han håbede, at udviklingen og undersøgelsen af ​​den arktiske zone ville skade hverken natur eller mennesker, men ville give impulsen til en kompetent, bæredygtig udvikling i regionen under hensyntagen til de seneste videnskabelige og teknologiske udviklinger, samt den grønne dagsorden.

⚡️ FM Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on the examination by the UN Security Council of Russia’s draft resolution to investigate acts of sabotage against Nord Stream pipelines

💬 On March 27, the UNSC examined a draft resolution put forward by Russia requesting the UN Secretary-General to establish an international, independent investigation commission to conduct an investigation of the circumstances in which explosions on the Nord Stream pipelines occurred.

Following countries co-sponsored the resolution:
🇨🇳 China,
🇧🇾 Belarus,
🇻🇪 Venezuela,
🇰🇵 DPRK,
🇳🇮 Nicaragua,
🇸🇾 Syria,
🇪🇷 Eritrea.

Apart from Russia, China 🇨🇳 and Brazil 🇧🇷 voted in favour of the resolution.

Other Security Council members abstained during the vote.

Therefore, the document did not receive a sufficient number of votes due to the proactive efforts deployed by the Western delegations to prevent its adoption. It seems that the Western capitals are afraid of an unbiased approach to establishing the truth.

We are disappointed by the outcome of the vote.

👉 Western representatives firmly opposed allowing anyone to take part in the investigation carried out by German, Danish and Swedish authorities under the pretext of protecting national security interests. Accordingly, the international community missed an opportunity to send a clear signal that perpetrating attacks of this kind in the future would be unacceptable.

In the meantime, we have noted that the pipeline operator, Nord Stream 2 AG, received an invitation from the Danish authorities to take part in the operation to lift an unidentified object found in the vicinity of the pipeline. We have reasons to doubt that Copenhagen would have taken this step without our tireless efforts to draw the attention of the international community to the investigation, including within the UNSC.

🇷🇺 Russia will persist in its efforts to make sure that all the necessary measures are taken to identify the perpetrators and hold them accountable.

🎙 Russia's Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev’s interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta (March 27, 2023)

Read in full

Excerpts:

🇺🇸 The United States will once again [at the the "Summit for Democracy"] declare itself the defender of international law and is sure to claim that the world must live by its rules.

While hypocritically speculating about the freedom of choice, the United States, the self-appointed global dictator, will in fact scoff at countries whose sovereignty and democracy it has trampled underfoot.

***

☝️ Their democracy is nothing more than a pretty façade of a state structure designed to cover up how they ignore the rights of the common American.

Those who have taken a closer look at the US legal and socio-political system have no illusions about whether there is freedom of speech or freedom of expression.

***

🤦 The main task of the political regime in the present-day US is to mislead their own population amid the system-wide crisis they are facing.

While defending competition by word only, the American authorities have made the country’s economy dependent on corrupt and lobbying ties traced to the White House and the Capitol. The political process has degenerated into a clash between corporations, which put their people in key positions in the bodies of power.

💬 We know what we are fighting for. We want to free these people from any threat that the current Ukrainian authorities can create for their lives, traditions, or families. History and geography cannot be chosen. We cannot leave these people to the mercy of Nazis and racists.

#NewSTART #RussiaUS

There are no contacts concerning the New START Treaty with the Americans. They keep sending us notes, protesting and saying we have no right to make the decision we have made. These are legally void arguments.

We have suspended this treaty in full. Our decision to comply with the strategic offensive arms ceilings set in the treaty is nothing more than a gesture of goodwill.

#Transnistria

The overall situation in Transnistria has worsened as a result of the President Sandu-led Moldovan government’s policy that is openly spearheaded against Russia, the Russian people and Transnistria.

Unfortunately, the 5+2 format has been essentially frozen largely due to the West, which decided to take the settlement process into its own hands and impose it on Tiraspol.

The Ukrainian leadership is playing an extremely negative and subversive role as well. In violation of its status as a 5 + 2 format mediator, it sided with Chisinau and is in every possible way supporting its belligerent and destructive aspirations towards Transnistria <...> and demonstrates in every way its readiness to intervene in this process, including with the use of force.

⚡️The Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation

📑 This Concept is a strategic planning document which provides a systemic vision of the national interests of Russia in the domain of foreign policy, basic principles, strategic goals, major objectives & priority areas of the Russian foreign policy.

☝️ More than a 1000 years of independent statehood, the cultural heritage of the preceding era, deep historical ties with the traditional European culture & other Eurasian cultures, & the ability to ensure harmonious coexistence of different peoples, ethnic, religious & linguistic groups on one common territory, which has been developed over many centuries, determine Russia's special position as a unique country-civilization & a vast Eurasian and Euro-Pacific power that brings together the Russian people & other peoples belonging to the cultural & civilizational community of the Russian world.

Russia, taking into account its decisive contribution to the victory in World War II & its active role in shaping the contemporary system of international relations & eliminating the global system of colonialism, is one of the sovereign centres of global development performing a historically unique mission aimed at maintaining global balance of power & building a multipolar international system, as well as ensuring conditions for the peaceful progressive development of humanity on the basis of a unifying and constructive agenda.

🇷🇺 Russia pursues an independent & multi-vector foreign policy driven by its national interests & the awareness of its special responsibility for maintaining peace & security at the global & regional levels.

Russian foreign policy is peaceful, open, predictable, consistent, & pragmatic & is based on the respect for universally recognized principles & norms of international law.

⚡️ Regarding the pressure put by the Kiev regime on the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra leaders amid the Great Lent

READ IN FULL

❗️ In the last days of March and early April, the campaign to seize the pearl of Orthodoxy – the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra – waged by the current Kiev regime and the so-called Orthodox Church of Ukraine, a schismatic and non-canonical church controlled by current regime authorities, reached a decisive stage.

This move was long in the making.

On April 1 of this year, the abbot of the Holy Dormition Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, Metropolitan Paul, was put under house arrest, while neo-Nazi activists began to arrive at the monastery, mocking the divine services and attempts by the brethren and other people praying at the monastery to preserve the Lavra in the bosom of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

⚠️ It speaks volumes that Zelensky and his regime would choose this exact moment to put pressure on the Lavra – the time of the Great Lent.

The Kiev-Pechersk Lavra is no ordinary monastery. It is the centre of canonical Orthodoxy, as well as one of the oldest Lavras of the ancient Russian state.

The Kiev regime has turned its religious policy into a tool for promoting its neo-Nazi practices.

It is an open secret that the Zelensky regime is in no way independent when it comes to its anti-ecclesiastic policies. Creating a schism within Orthodoxy and delivering a blow against this sphere of life has long been Washington’s stated goal.

◾️ Even for the current Kiev authorities seizing the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra is illegitimate in terms of law and immoral from a spiritual perspective. It demonstrates better than many other steps the regime has taken or its rhetoric its criminal nature and readiness to turn a blind eye to the feelings and, even more importantly, the rights of people, including Ukrainian citizens.

⚡️ О давлении на руководство Киево-Печерской Лавры в разгар Великого поста

Читать полностью

❗️ В последних числах марта – первых числах апреля в решающую стадию вступила кампания нынешнего киевского режима и подконтрольной ему раскольнической и неканонической т.н. «православной церкви Украины», направленная на захват жемчужины православия – Киево-Печерской лавры.

Такая акция готовилась давно.

1 апреля настоятель лавры митрополит Павел был взят под домашний арест, а в расположение монастыря стали прибывать неонацистские активисты, всячески насмехающиеся над богослужениями и попытками братии и молящихся монастыря сохранить лавру в лоне канонической Украинской православной церкви.

⚠️ Обращает на себя внимание время, которое было выбрано Зеленским и его режимом для давления на Лавру – время Великого поста.

Киевский режим превратил свою религиозную политику в один из инструментов продвижения неонацистских практик. О том, что под властью Порошенко, вслед за тем – Зеленского и иже с ними страдает русское и мировое православие, давно известно, нынешние светские власти инициировали и административно поддержали страшное, по меркам религиозной жизни, нарушение традиции – раскол церквей, вмешавшись в сакральную сторону жизни каждого верующего православного.

Ни для кого не секрет, что режим Зеленского не самостоятелен в своей антиклерикальной политике. Раскол православия, удар по этой сфере жизни – та цель, которую давно провозгласили в Вашингтоне.

❗️ Захват Киево-Печерской лавры – нелегитимное с правовой и безнравственное с духовной точки зрения деяние нынешних властей в Киеве.

Он показательнее многих иных шагов режима и его риторики доказывает его преступный характер, готовность не считаться с чувствами и, самое главное, правами людей, в т.ч. граждан Украины.

⚡ Kommentar fra det russiske udenrigsministeriums talskvinde, Maria Zakharova, om militærkorrespondent Vladlen Tatarskys død som følge af en eksplosion

Den 2. april, som følge af en eksplosion i Skt. Petersborg, døde militærkorrespondent Maxim Fomin, kendt som Vladlen Tatarsky. Retshåndhævende myndigheder skal give den juridiske kvalifikation til, hvad der skete. Vi skal give den moralske.

❗ Russiske journalister oplever konstant trusler om repressalier fra Kiev-regimet og dets inspiratorer, som i stigende grad bliver implementeret. De udsættes for chikane, stigmatiseres i bogstavelig forstand med særlige markeringer på amerikanske internetmonopolers digitale platforme og bliver til et mål af "heksejagt" i de vestlige medier. Alt dette sker med stiltiende tilsidesættelse fra relevante internationale strukturers side, hvilket ikke længere kan tolkes som forlig, hvis ikke medvirken.

Ikke et eneste tilfælde af en russisk journalists voldelige død, som blev vurderet af Kiev-regimet og dets bøller som en "succes", hverken vestlige lande eller internationale organisationer eller udenlandske fagmiljøer gennemførte ikke kun undersøgelser, men viste endda elementære menneskelig medfølelse.

Indtil for nylig bekæmpede Vesten ekstremisme og terrorisme, marcherede som en samlet front i Paris til forsvar for journalister, mod hvem der blev begået terrorangreb. I dag taler den manglende reaktion i Det Hvide Hus, Downing Street, Elysee-paladset osv. for sig selv i betragtning af deres påståede bekymring for journalisters velbefindende og journalistiks frihed. Reaktionen i Kiev er overraskende, hvor modtagere af vestlige tilskud viser utilsløret glæde over det skete.

Det er takket være de russiske militærudsendinge, at verden ser sandfærdige og aktuelle optagelser og får information om, hvad der sker i Ukraine. Det er mennesker, der står vagt over sandheden, som verdens mainstream allerede har misbrugt. Vladlen Tatarskys professionelle aktiviteter, hans tjeneste for fædrelandet forårsagede had i Kiev-regimet. Han var farlig for dem, men gik dristigt til ende og gjorde sin pligt.

Vi udtrykker vores dybeste medfølelse med hans familie og venner.

📄 Excerpts from the Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation

Today's world: major trends & prospects for development

☝️ The formation of a more equitable multipolar world order is underway. The imbalanced model of world development which has for centuries ensured the advanced economic growth of colonial powers through the appropriation of resources of dependent territories and states in Asia, Africa & in the Occident is irrevocably fading into the past.

🔹 A wide-spread form of interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states has become the imposition of destructive neoliberal ideological attitudes that run counter to traditional spiritual & moral values. As a result, the destructive effect extends to all spheres of international relations.

🇺🇳 Serious pressure is being put on the UN and other multilateral institutions the intended purpose of which, as platforms for harmonizing the interests of the leading powers, is artificially devalued. The international legal system is put to the test: a small group of states is trying to replace it with the concept of a rules-based world order.

🔹 The role of the power factor in international relations is increasing, conflict areas are expanding in a number of strategically important regions. <...> A logical response to the crisis of the world order is the strengthening of cooperation between the states that are subject to external pressure.

🔹 Considering the strengthening of Russia as one of the leading centres of development in the modern world & its independent foreign policy as a threat to Western hegemony, the US and their satellites used the measures taken by Russia as regards Ukraine to protect its vital interests as a pretext to aggravate the longstanding anti-Russian policy and unleashed a new type of hybrid war. It is aimed at weakening Russia in every possible way.

❗️ In response to unfriendly actions of the West, Russia intends to defend its right to existence & freedom of development using all means available.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry Statement on Finland 🇫🇮 completing the process to join NATO

💬 On April 4, 2023, it was officially declared that all the legal procedures related to Finland becoming a NATO member were completed.

As we have warned on multiple occasions, the Russian Federation will have to respond with military-technical, as well as other measures in order to address national security threats arising from Finland joining NATO.

Specific decisions regarding the build-up of defence capabilities along Russia’s northwestern borders will depend on the specific terms on which Finland joins NATO, including the deployment of NATO’s military infrastructure and offensive weapons on its territory.

☝️ The line of contact between NATO and the Russian Federation’s border has more than doubled. This constitutes a major shift for Northern Europe, which used to be one of the most stable regions in the world. The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation has made another step to move closer to the territory of Russia.

<...>

By joining NATO, Finland has given up on its unique identity and lost its independence, which for decades gave it a special status in international affairs. Helsinki’s policy of military non-alignment has long served its national interests and was a major confidence-building factor in the Baltic region and across the European continent. But now all this has become a thing of the past.

Finland became a minor NATO member without the possibility to influence any decisions. It has lost its ability to have a say in international affairs.

History will tell whether Finland needed to take this ill-conceived step, undertaken by the country’s government without taking into consideration what the people think about it by holding a referendum and carefully examining the consequences of NATO membership. We strongly believe that this is the case.

❗️ Finland’s accession to NATO will have a negative effect on the bilateral relations between Russia and Finland.

Ответы Посла России в Дании В.В.Барбина на вопросы датской газеты "Рабочий", 30 марта 2023 г.
​
Как можно было избежать кризиса?

- Минские соглашения предлагали политико-дипломатическое решение, включая реинтеграцию Донбасса с Украиной. Однако Западу не был нужен как мир на Украине, так и мир между Россией и Украиной в особенности.
Вместо побуждения Киева к выполнению Минских соглашений был взят курс на накачку Украины вооружениями. Президент Франции Ф.Олланд, канцлер ФРГ А.Меркель, бывший президент Украины П.Порошенко недавно без всякого стыда публично признались в том, что Минские соглашения не предполагалось выполнять, эти договоренности рассматривались лишь как выигрыш времени для подготовки к войне с Россией.
Датские инструкторы участвовали в обучении украинских вооруженных сил, и нет свидетельств того, что Дания призывала власти Украины к выполнению Минских соглашений.

Что такое суверенная демократия?

- Суверенная демократия предполагает способность страны принимать самостоятельные решения как в сфере внешней политики, так и по определению приоритетов своего внутреннего развития, то есть быть устойчивой к внешнему давлению и руководствоваться своими, а не чужими национальными интересами. Таким критериям сегодня соответствуют немногие государства в мире. Запад противодействует строительству многополярного мира и подлинной независимости государств, стремясь сохранить свое доминирование.

Каково место российской культуры?

-​ ​ ​ ​История России, её культуры свидетельствуют о её самостоятельном пути развития. При этом речь идет не о противопоставлении или конфронтации с другой культурой, а об уважении национальных традиций и духовных ценностей.

После завершения кризиса, каким образом отношения с Европой будут восстановлены? Как можно добиться доверия? Как выглядит будущее для России и Европы?

- Инициативу в восстановлении отношений должны будут проявить западные государства, которые явились поджигателями нынешнего конфликта на Украине. Говорить о характере и возможной основе будущих отношений России и Европы преждевременно. Ясно, что прежними они не будут.

Svarene af Ambassadør Vladimir Barbin til Arbejderen, 30. marts 2023

Hvordan kunne man undgå krisen [i Ukraine]?

- Minskaftalerne foreslog en løsning med politiske og diplomatiske midler, herunder at Donbass skal reintegreres i Ukraine. Alligevel havde Vesten hverken brug for fred i Ukraine eller for fred især mellem Rusland og Ukraine.
I stedet for at opmuntre Kiev til at overholde Minskaftalerne blev der taget kurs mod at pumpe våben ind i Ukraine. Frankrigs præsident François Hollande, Tysklands kansler Angela Merkel og Ukraines tidligere præsident Petr Poroshenko har for nyligt offentligt og absolut skamløst indrømmet,
at Minskaftalerne ikke skulle overholdes. De her aftaler var anset alene som en middel til at vinde tid for at forberede en krig mod Rusland.
Danske instruktører deltog i træning af ukrainske forsvarsstyrker og der er ikke nogle beviser for at Danmark opfordrede de ukrainske myndigheder til at overholde Minskaftalerne.

Hvad er et suværent demokrati for noget?

Et suverænt demokrati forudsætter at landet formå at tage selvstændige beslutninger såvel i sin uderigspolitik som i at definere selv prioriteter af sit interne udvikling, dvs. at være i stand til at modstå presset udefra og forfølge sine egne nationale interesser snarere end nogle andres. Der er kun få lande i den moderne verden der opfylder de her betingelser. Det er Vesten der forhindrer opbygning af en multipolær verden og staternes ægte uafhængighed ved at forsøge at bevare sin dominans.

Hvad den russiske kultur hører til?
​
Ruslands historie og dets kultur vidner om landets selvstændige udviklingsretning. Altså, det handler ikke om at det modsætter sig eller imødegår en anden kultur, men om respekt for nationale traditioner og åndelige værdier.

Når krisen er forbi, hvordan skal relationerne med Vesten se ud? Hvordan kan man dyrke tillid? Hvordan skal fremtid se ud for Rusland og Europa?

Initiativet til at genopbygge relationerne bør komme fra vestlige lande, der har ophidset til den nuværende konflikt i Ukraine. Det er for tidligt nu at tale om karaktær og et muligt grundlag af fremtidige relationer mellem Rusland og Europa. Det står klart at forholdene ikke komme at blive nogensinde det samme igen.

🎙 Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the meeting of NATO Ministers of Foreign Affairs on April 4-5, 2023

💬 On April 4-5 in Brussels, NATO held a meeting of the North Atlantic Council at the level of foreign ministers.

Focused on preparations for the upcoming NATO summit in Vilnius this summer, the event also marked the 74th anniversary of the alliance, a rudimentary structure of the Cold War era which, as envisaged by its founders, was supposed to ensure the supremacy of the collective West over the rest of the world.

☝️ Essentially, the alliance has nothing to be proud of. What the allies have under their belts is wars, turning countries into ruins, war crimes that have remained unpunished, murders of civilians and destruction of civilian infrastructure. Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya. Who’s next?

At the same time, representatives of the North Atlantic bloc incessantly repeat that the purpose of the union is defence. However, the entire history of the organisation attests to the contrary. Now again, we can see that NATO, seeking to usurp the entire system of European security, continues to expand towards Russia and create threats to our security.

Finland has become yet another victim of the North Atlantic alliance. The Finnish officials decided to part with the country’s decades-long neutrality in exchange for becoming a near-front zone and a springboard for deterring Russia in the northwest.

As we can see, NATO does not intend to stop at that. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg increasingly issues statements about the alliance’s global role and the need to expand beyond its traditional area of responsibility, or the Euro-Atlantic. The reality is that NATO is building a foundation for pervasively imposing NATO-centric approaches to regional security.

Hence the pumping of more weapons into Ukraine and motivating it to continue the war with Russia; hence the attacks on China, the flirting with Japan and South Korea and plans to militarise the Arctic.

❗️ All these efforts are meant to make the world more dangerous and prevent the existence of any alternative centres of power that may be able to undermine the hegemony of the West. Overall, we can confidently state that security and NATO are two incompatible things.

It is hard to escape the conclusion: at 74, the North Atlantic bloc should retire.
