🖋 Ruslands Ambassadør i Danmark Vladimir Barbin:
"Den 31. marts blev der vedtaget Ruslands nye udenrigspolitiske strategi. Dokumentet afspejler det russiske syn på den nuværende stand af internationale relationer. Strategien definerer også, hvordan Ruslands nationale interesser kan sikres i den nye geopolitiske virkelighed.
❗️ Rusland går ud fra at USAs og Vestens verdenshegemoni erfarer sin opløsning. Der opstår nogle nye globale og regionale centrer af magt og tilstrækningskræft. Vestlige lande prøver at forhindre at den nye og mere retfærdige multipolær verdensorden, der afspejler kultur- og civilizationsdiversitet, opstår.
❗️ Rusland har ingen selvopfattelse som Vestens fjende og heller ikke har nogle agressive hensigter mod den. Men det vil først være muligt at vende tilbage til noget normale forhold når Vesten opgiver sin konfrontationspolitik mod Rusland.
Rusland vil følge princippet om lige og udelelig sikkerhed kun på gensidige måde. Det bliver såvel symmetriske som asymmetriske tiltag, som Rusland godt kan bruge i modsvar på de fjentlige handlinger, der truer vort lands selvstændighed og territoriale integritet."

2️⃣4️⃣0️⃣ years ago, on April 19, 1783, Empress Catherine the Great published a Manifesto on the accession of the Crimean Peninsula to the Russian Empire. This document gave Russia reliable access to the Black Sea and ensured the security of its southern regions for centuries ahead.
📈 After the accession, the Russian authorities banned slave trade, which had existed in the region for centuries, and built new cities, including Sevastopol. The economy and culture received a powerful impetus for development. Domestic trade duties were cancelled, which facilitated the progress of Crimean agriculture, industry and trade and a rapid growth of Crimean cities.
🗝 The Manifesto, which was written by Catherine the Great and General-Field Marshal Grigory Potemkin, was kept in great secrecy in a wooden box upholstered with iron. The Empress had apprehensions about a new war with Turkey and interference by European countries. The Manifesto was published only after the residents of Crimea swore allegiance to Russia by signing oath sheets.
☝️ Grigory Potemkin, who was appointed by Catherine the Great Governor-General of Novorossiya, played a key role in the accession and development of Crimea. His contemporaries noted that he managed to turn the steppes of the Crimean Khanate into a promising and flourishing region of the Russian Empire in a short span of time.

📄 Excerpts from the Report of the Russian Foreign Ministry "Human rights situation in Ukraine" (2023):
Glorification of Nazism
⚠️ The Kiev regime’s efforts to aggressively propagate neo-Nazism are paired with consistent efforts to rewrite the history of the Great Patriotic War.
Distorted interpretations of historical events are being imposed on the people which belittle the role and contribution of the Soviet Union to the victory over Nazism.
The nationalist sentiments among the broad public are cultivated in Ukraine through state policy and vigorous efforts of the authorities of all levels to whitewash and glorify Nazism.
❗️ Notably, a regulatory framework has been created for this kind of activity. In accordance with these documents:
• Soviet symbols were outlawed;
• Communist authorities were condemned;
• archives of the Soviet security services were opened;
• public use, wearing or displaying the St George ribbon was prohibited;
• World War II Ukrainian military nationalist formations and their leaders – the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) (Stepan Bandera) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) (Roman Shukhevich) – were recognised as independence fighters. Commander-in-Chief Shukhevich served in the Third Reich’s Nachtigall Battalion, the 201st battalion of the Ukrainian Legion Schutzmannschaft;
• criminal liability was introduced for negative assessment of the activities of the above units.
On January 30, 2018, in line with the provisions of the law “On the legal status and honouring the memory of fighters for independence of Ukraine in the 20th century,” the Lvov Regional Council resolved to display the OUN-UPA flag along with the state flag of Ukraine.
Similar decisions were adopted by the Volyn Regional Council, city councils in Ternopol, Kiev and a number of other cities.

📄Excerpts from the Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation
Regional tracks of the foreign policy of Russia: European region
❗️Most European states pursue an aggressive policy toward Russia aimed at creating threats to the security & sovereignty of Russia, gaining unilateral economic advantages, undermining domestic political stability & eroding traditional Russian spiritual & moral values, & creating obstacles to Russia's cooperation with allies & partners.
☝️Russia intends to consistently defend its national interests by giving priority attention to:
1) reducing & neutralizing threats to security, territorial integrity, sovereignty, traditional spiritual & moral values, & socio-economic development of Russia, its allies & partners from unfriendly European states, #NATO, the EU & the Council of Europe
2) creating conditions for the cessation of unfriendly actions by European states & their associations <...> & for their transition to a long-term policy of good-neighbourliness & mutually beneficial cooperation with Russia
3) the formation of a new model of coexistence by European states to ensure the safe, sovereign & progressive development of Russia, its allies & partners, & durable peace in the European part of Eurasia, taking into account the potential of multilateral formats, including the #OSCE.
Objective prerequisites for the formation of a new model of coexistence with European states are geographical proximity, historically developed deep cultural, humanitarian & economic ties of the peoples & states of the European part of Eurasia. The main factor complicating the normalization of relations between Russia & European states is the strategic course of the USA & their individual allies to draw & deepen dividing lines in the European region.
❗️The realization by the states of Europe that there is no alternative to peaceful coexistence & mutually beneficial equal cooperation with Russia <...> will have a positive effect on the security & welfare of the European region.

🎙 Svaret fra det russiske udenrigsministeriums talskvinde Maria Zakharova i forbindelse med offentliggørelser i Danmark, Norge, Finland og Sverige af materialer om angiveligt russiske efterretningsaktiviteter
❓ Medierne i Danmark, Norge, Finland og Sverige har for nylig offentliggjort en række materialer om russiske efterretningsaktiviteter. De afslører især navnene på ansatte ved russiske ambassader, som angiveligt arbejder for efterretningstjenester. Hvordan vurderer udenrigsministeriet sådanne "afsløringer"? Hvad er deres implikationer for de bilaterale forbindelser med disse lande?
💬 Maria Zakharova: Den 19. april viste tv-selskaberne i Danmark (“DR”), Norge (“NRK”), Finland (“YLE”) og Sverige (“SVT”) den første episode som en del af pseudoprojektet af skandinaviske journalister "Skyggekrigen". Faktisk er der tale om en koordineret falsk historie om Ruslands påståede "undergravede aktiviteter" i de nordiske lande gennem årene.
En hel række publikationer dukkede op i de trykte medier i alle de nævnte lande, der hævdede at være en slags "journalistisk undersøgelse". I strid med folkerets normer om privatlivets ukrænkelighed, blev foto- og videomaterialer samt personlige data af både tidligere og nuværende ansatte ved russiske ambassader offentliggjort. Samtidig er der ingen beviser for russiske diplomaters angiveligt ulovlige aktiviteter.
Da disse tv-selskaber er tæt forbundet med staten og finansieres af dem, er det klart at det er myndighederne samt nationale efterretningstjenester og deres oversøiske kuratorer der står bag provokationen.
❗️ Endnu en bølge af spionmani i de nordeuropæiske lande, den kurs, som deres myndigheder har taget for at dæmonisere Rusland, fører til uoprettelig skade på forholdet til vores land.
☝️ Vi vil fortsat reagere hårdt på alle sådanne provokationer. Den russiske side skal svare med at vise den rolle, som disse landes repræsentationskontorer i Rusland spiller i en reel overtrædelse af forpligtelser i henhold til Wien-konventionen om diplomatiske forbindelser.

⚡️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s comment on the non-issuance of US visas to Russian journalists to visit the UN headquarters during the Russian Federation's chairmanship at the UN Security Council
💬 Dear friends, of course, I was aware how well our American colleagues are known for such things but I was certain that this time it would be different, considering the focus placed on their ugly behaviour. I was mistaken.
The country that calls itself the strongest, the smartest, the freest and the most just, has chickened out, did an unwise, stupid thing, that I am convinced of, by showing what its asseverations about protecting freedom of speech and access to information are really worth.
We will also have to work for you, show more energy, and put more effort into bringing the truth to the world community and the public.
Please try to keep track of what we are going to do there and spread this truth through your channels. I am convinced that it will draw much more interest all over the world than the “filtered” information that our Western colleagues bring down on the heads of their viewers, listeners, and readers.
⚡️ Most importantly, be sure that we will not forget or forgive.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations in New York (April 23, 2023)
💬 The United States violated again its obligations under the UN Headquarters Agreement, having denied issuance of US visas to Russian journalists who were supposed to accompany Minister Lavrov on his official visit to New York to take part in the flagship events of the Russian Presidency of the UN Security Council.
This was done despite the fact that Russian media representatives complied with all relevant terms and requirements, including a valid UN accreditation.
❗️ We consider this step as another manifestation of neglect of the international law by the United States. When denying access to UN events for Russian journalists, the US authorities once again demonstrate their true attitude to freedom of speech and availability of information.
We count on the UN leadership and specialized international mechanisms to pay due attention to this egregious situation and take all necessary steps against the violator.

🌐 Today is International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace.
On December 12, 2018, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution A/RES/73/127 on marking this day. The document notes that the International Day aims to promote UN values and to reaffirm the trust of the world’s nations in the goals and principles of the UN Charter.
🇷🇺🇺🇳 Russia is invariably committed to the policy of upholding multilateralism and the UN’s leading role in global affairs and is actively involved in efforts to overhaul the UN and to adapt it to new international realities.
This is particularly topical today when a narrow group of states advancing the rules-based order concept exerts unprecedented pressure on the UN and other multilateral institutions.
✍️ Under the Russian Foreign Policy Concept, approved on March 31, 2023, Russia intends to prioritise efforts to reinstate the UN’s role as a central coordination mechanism in coordinating the interests of UN member states.
At the same time, one of the main aims of national foreign policy is to strengthen the potential of multilateral regional associations and integration organisations involving Russia. For example, this refers to measures to enhance the international role of #BRICS, the #SCO, the #CIS, the #EAEU, the #CSTO, #RIC and other interstate associations and international organisations, as well as mechanisms with significant Russian involvement.
⏰ Today, on April 24, FM Sergey Lavrov will take part in one of the key events of Russia’s presidency of the UN Security Council, specifically, the open debate on "Effective multilateralism through the defence of the principles of the Charter of the United Nations."

A historical meeting on the Elbe River took place 7️⃣8️⃣ years ago – on April 25, 1945. The Red Army’s First Ukrainian Front troops under the command of Marshal Ivan Konev met the 69th and 104th infantry divisions of the First US Army under the command of General Omar Bradley.
This event is important not only historically but also symbolically. It became a prelude for the defeat of Nazi Germany and marked the peak of the allied struggle waged by the anti-Hitler coalition against Nazism. A spirit of unity against a common enemy, which came to be called the Elbe spirit, opened prospects for postwar cooperation at a new level.
📻 Although rank-and-file soldiers and their command on both sides of the Elbe River intercepted each other’s signals, they did not know how far away their allies were. They were only too happy to meet friendly troops instead of retreating Nazis.
Having forgotten about cultural differences and the language barrier, comrades-in-arms exchanged patches, signs of distinction, household items and even valuables. Later, the celebrations continued at the Soviet command headquarters on the eastern bank of the Elbe River where Omar Bradley came to meet Ivan Konev.
This is how first-hand witnesses described the historical moment. They became world famous owing to a photo by Bill Robertson (left), a reporter for US Life magazine. He said the meeting with the Soviet military created the impression that the world was one. Alexander Silvashko, depicted next to him (right) often said that if American and Soviet soldiers could maintain their comradely relations, “the world could become a better place.”
🤝 In the joint statement on the 75th anniversary of the meeting on the Elbe, the presidents of Russia and the US expressed the same feelings as their compatriots in 1945. “The meeting on the Elbe is the culmination of enormous efforts by many countries and peoples. The Elbe spirit shows how our countries can put aside their differences and cooperate in the name of a common goal”

This sail-shaped rock is the main symbol of the Russian city of Gelendzhik on the Black Sea
Gelendzhik in Krasnodar Krai is one of the most visited tourist places in Russia. And the ‘Parus’ Rock (‘Sail Rock’) is its “visiting card”. It is surrounded by pine forest and a stony beach. It was named, because of its unusual shape: it is high (30 meters), but rather thin (only about 1 meter thick) and most of it goes into the sea.
But, the main mystery is a round hole about 2 meters above the water. Tourists are told the legend that it is a hole from a cannonball from the times of the Caucasian War (1817-1864). But scientists still consider the hole to be a natural and climatic phenomenon.
Earlier, Parus Rock was a part of a big mountain massif, which collapsed due to seismic activity and the rest of it took such a bizarre shape because of constant strong winds.
Are there any such strange rock formations where you live?

▪Кроме того, британец цинично заявил, что Лондон не отслеживает использование данных вооружений и не имеет обязательств по ликвидации последствий их применения по завершении конфликта.
▪Заявления Дж.Хиппи красноречиво демонстрируют безжалостный оскал линии англосаксов на всемерную эскалацию развязанного ими «конфликта по доверенности» на Украине.
▪Теперь уже окончательно ясно, что этой стране Западом уготована роль не только антироссийского военного полигона, но и радиоактивного «могильника».
▪Призываем власти Великобритании не тешить себя иллюзорными надеждами, будто, «переведя стрелки» на ВСУ, в распоряжении которых ныне оказались токсичные боеприпасы, они сумеют выйти «сухими из воды».
