🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with the Znaniye Society on the sidelines of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum
Key talking points:
🔹 The exasperation with which the West is telling everyone to punish the Russian Federation and not to talk with us betrays its realisation of the fact that there will never again be such a thing as a unipolar world. The convulsions that we are now witnessing, the agony to some extent, could last for many years. I see this as a historical era of transition to a multipolar world.
🔹 Statistics shows that one in every four countries in the world is under sanctions, primarily sanctions imposed by the US, Europe, and those who collaborate with them. Currently, there is a movement towards isolation from these risks in order to continue trading, investing, promoting economic ties, and creating joint ventures and logistics chains in such a way as to obviate dependence on the West-controlled structures and mechanisms. Objectively, this process is laying the foundation of multipolarity.
🔹 If all states comply with the requirements of the UN Charter, the role of the United Nations is far from being exhausted. It would be enhanced if all states were guided by the principles of the UN Charter.
🔹 The voices demanding that the West pay for 500 years of its rule and global dominance are becoming louder. Unfortunately, it continues to act in an absolutely colonial way.
🔹 It is impossible to kill Russian culture no matter how hard one might try to do so. Such attempts are made by people who have no culture of conduct and co-existence in our world, who do not truly represent their nations. Look at who heads the European Union now.

"Применительно к конфликту на Украине Дания мыслит исключительно категориями новых поставок вооружений и продолжения боевых действий, не обращая внимания на то, что такая политика не способна привести к миру.
☝️ Датский арсенал дипломатических инструментов пуст, что свидетельствует о заинтересованности Копенгагена в дальнейшем кровопролитии на Украине.
Решение Дании и других стран НАТО начать обучение украинских пилотов на F-16, обсуждение возможности поставок этих самолетов на Украину приведет к еще большей эскалации конфликта и увеличивает риск прямого в него вовлечения стран НАТО."

"Med hensyn til konflikten i Ukraine tænker Danmark udelukkende på at levere militært udstyr og at fortsætte fjendtlighederne uden tanke på, at sådan en politik ikke vil føre til fred.

Danmarks og andre NATO-landes beslutning om at begynde at træne ukrainske piloter på F-16, diskuterer muligheden for at levere disse fly til Ukraine, vil føre til en endnu større eskalering af konflikten og øge risikoen for direkte involvering af NATO-landene."

❓: Dear Ambassador Antonov, how could you comment on Secretary Blinken’s statement that Russia has to bear the cost of Ukraine's reconstruction?
💬 Anatoly Antonov: The Ukrainian conflict is the result of years of deliberate efforts by the United States to create a hotbed of tensions at our borders, to turn Ukraine into "anti-Russia." Here they are trying to ignore the truth: by supporting the anti-constitutional coup in Kiev in 2014, Washington and the Western countries provoked the crisis, which has been going on for nine years. Now the United States is even more active in fomenting confrontation. It pumps the republic with powerful weapons and cuts down any peaceful initiatives in the bud.
⁉️ This means that the administration is fully responsible for what is happening in Ukraine. That's why it is up to the United States to rebuild the country. Only, while it is still possible to pay for the houses, destroyed with the help of American weapons, how will then Washington evaluate the lives of innocent people? How is the United States going to settle accounts with the Ukrainians, whom they are driving into reckless frontal assaults in today's so-called counter-offensive?
Particularly striking is the ease with which the Americans squander money on Ukrainian clients. The Pentagon can afford to "overestimate" the cost of military equipment supplied to Kiev, mistaking its calculations by several billion dollars.
☝️ While unprecedented funds are allocated for the purchase of weapons for the Kiev regime, the poorest states in Africa, Latin America and Asia are left without attention. There are places on the planet where people die of hunger. At the same time, the United States considers it more urgent to prolong the bloodshed and provoke World War III through the West's de-facto involvement in the conflict.

🕯 June 22 marks the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow in Russia.
82 years ago, at 4 am, Nazi Germany perfidiously attacked the Soviet Union after a lengthy artillery barrage and without a declaration of war. Nazi forces launched attacks along the entire length of the Soviet border, from the Barents to the Black Sea.
This is how the Great Patriotic War began, opening one of the most tragic chapters in the history of our country.
Romania and Italy sided with Germany. Slovakia, Finland and Hungary joined them in several days later. The aggressors controlled the industrial potential and other resources of virtually all the continental European countries.
The bloodiest war in history lasted 1,418 days and nights and culminated in the Victory of the Soviet Union and its allies, and it entailed the complete defeat of Axis countries.
❗️ The Soviet Union accounted for 40 percent of wartime losses. Its casualties totalled 26.6 million war dead, including over 8.7 million killed in action. The Nazis deliberately exterminated 7.42 million people on the occupied territories.
#WeRemember how, after living through the war and despite certain disagreements, the nations of the world were united by a striving to prevent another monstrous conflict in the future and to avoid the mistakes of the past.
Unfortunately, Nazi ideology has proved resilient over the decades. They are using Nazi ideology once again for monstrous geopolitical experiments aimed at containing Russia. Collaborators who found refuge in the West after the war, Nazi criminals and their young followers are brandishing the banner of these ideas today.
🕯 The Candle of Remembrance memorial event has been held every June 22 since 2009. Everyone can honour the memory of the deceased with a moment of silence, light a candle and lay flowers at a military burial site or a Great Patriotic War monument.

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova:
💬 Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Brodsky, who is by the way a native of Leningrad, the city which survived a siege during the Great Patriotic War, told ITON-TV, an Israeli website, in pure Russian:
“The way we view people like Bandera, Shukhevich, Melnik and the like is different compared to the way most Ukrainians view them. In fact, these people supported Nazi ideology. While fighting for Ukraine’s independence, they wanted Ukraine without Jews, or Poles, or communists, and probably many others. <…> And Ukraine, of course, is searching for its identity and its heroes. Of course, we do not like these heroes, but most Ukrainians view them as independence fighters. <…> However, in all objectivity, there is no stopping this process today. <…> It would be wrong to demand that Ukraine stop renaming streets or calling Bandera or Melnik heroes as a condition for our support for Ukraine or our assistance to Ukraine because, if you look at things the way they do, this is not going to happen.”
Not a single organisation for protecting the memory of Holocaust survivors raised an eyebrow. Hey! You receive billions in funding to keep this topic in the public space! Haven’t you missed something? The Holocaust must be remembered not only because it happened in the past, but also to make sure that it never happens again, and not just against a single ethnic group or religion, but against any of them.
Since there is no one else to defend the victims of the Holocaust but us, let me remind Mr Brodsky about the ethnic policy of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, with Stepan Bandera at its helm. Here is a quote from the second resolution of OUN B’s General Assembly in April 1941: “The Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists combats Jews as supporters of the Russian Bolshevik regime.” And here is a quote by Yaroslav Stetsko, a Bandera and Melnik accomplice: “I therefore support the destruction of the Jews and the expedience of bringing German methods of exterminating Jewry to Ukraine, barring their assimilation and the like.”
In fact, there was a massive effort to exterminate, burn and bury, without any burials or markers, Jews in Nazi-occupied Ukraine, and these inhumanheroes were proactive in assisting this effort. About 1.4 million people perished this way.
What kind of heroes was Mikhail Brodsky referring to?
German society of the late 1920s and early 1930s was also searching for its identity and heroes. Instead of humanism, a great tradition in German culture, it chose two words: blood and soil (Blut und Boden). And the heroes lived up to this slogan by initiating the Holocaust, creating concentration camps, and killing women, infants and the elderly. For the next 90 years, Germany tried to wash itself clean of this identity. But this is something that leaves a permanent stain.
If Mikhail Brodsky believes that Kiev has the right to these heroes and identity, this is the Israeli Foreign Ministry’s business.
No one has the right to have such heroes. These were not heroes, but demons, and this was not an identity, but a disgrace for the people of Ukraine. This is an act of glorifying Nazism.
As for the idea that there is nothing anyone can do about it, how blasphemous of him to say that! This was the logic of those who sponsored Hitler in the 1930s. Most of them were Anglo-Saxons, by the way.
If this was the logic of Soviet soldiers, Brodsky would not have existed today, and there would be no memory of the Holocaust to preserve either.
In one of his songs, Vladimir Vysotsky wrote: “But our squadron commander corrected its course, as his boots sent the Urals spinning.” This meant the Soviet soldiers changed the course of history and enabled humankind to recover its true face. But this did not last, as it turns out. Here we go, all over again.

⚡️ The European Union continues its attempts to pressure Russia through unilateral restrictive measures. On June 23, EU countries passed the 11th package of sanctions against Russia. We believe that these actions by the EU are illegitimate, and that they undermine international law prerogatives of the UN Security Council.
In response to these unfriendly actions, Russia has considerably expanded the list of representatives of European institutions and EU member countries who are not allowed to enter the Russian territory under Federal Law No. 114-FZ On the Procedure for Exit from and Entry to the Russian Federation, of August 15, 1996.
This measure applies to representatives of law enforcement agencies, state and commercial organisations of EU countries and citizens of EU member countries involved in providing military assistance to the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev (supplies of weapons, military equipment and uniforms, training Ukrainian service personnel, raising funds to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, providing intelligence data and communications services, facilitating logistics, etc.). The list also includes representatives of EU agencies responsible for imposing sanctions against Russia and trying to undermine Russia’s relations with other states. The restrictions also apply to members of EU countries’ parliaments promoting a confrontational agenda with regard to Russia.
❗️ We confirm that any unfriendly actions by Western countries will meet with a quick and appropriate response in the future.

• Россия сегодня ведёт тяжелейшую борьбу за своё будущее, отражает агрессию неонацистов и их хозяев. Против нас направлена фактически вся военная, экономическая, информационная машина Запада. Мы боремся за жизнь и безопасность наших людей, за наш суверенитет и независимость. За право быть и оставаться Россией – государством с тысячелетней историей.
• Эта битва, когда решается судьба нашего народа, требует единения всех сил, единства, консолидации и ответственности. Когда в сторону должно быть отброшено всё, что ослабляет нас, любые распри, которыми могут воспользоваться и пользуются наши внешние враги, чтобы подорвать нас изнутри.
• То, с чем мы столкнулись – это именно предательство. Непомерные амбиции и личные интересы привели к измене. К измене и своей стране, и своему народу, и тому делу, за которое бок о бок с другими нашими частями и подразделениями сражались и погибали бойцы и командиры группы «Вагнер».
• Любая внутренняя смута – смертельная угроза для нашей государственности, для нас, как нации. Это удар по России, по нашему народу. И наши действия по защите Отечества от такой угрозы будут жёсткие. Все, кто сознательно встал на путь предательства, кто готовил вооружённый мятеж, встал на путь шантажа и террористических методов, понесут неминуемое наказание, ответят и перед законом, и перед нашим народом.
• Тот, кто организовал и готовил военный мятеж, кто поднял оружие на боевых товарищей, – предали Россию. И ответят за это. А тех, кого пытаются втянуть в это преступление, призываю не совершать роковую и трагическую, неповторимую ошибку, сделать единственно правильный выбор – прекратить участие в преступных действиях.

⚡️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin's address to citizens of Russia
Excerpts
• Today, Russia is waging a tough struggle for its future, repelling the aggression of neo-Nazis and their patrons. The entire military, economic and informational machine of the West is directed against us. We are fighting for the lives and security of our people, for our sovereignty and independence, for the right to be and remain Russia, a state with a thousand-year history.
• This battle, when the fate of our nation is being decided, requires consolidation of all forces. It requires unity, consolidation and a sense of responsibility, and everything that weakens us, any strife that our external enemies can use and do so to subvert us from within, must be discarded.
• What we are facing is essentially a betrayal. Inflated ambitions and personal interests have led to treason – treason against our country, our people and the common cause which Wagner Group soldiers and commanders were fighting and dying for shoulder to shoulder, together with our other units and troops.
• Any internal revolt is a deadly threat to our statehood and our nation. It is a blow to Russia, to our people. Our actions to defend the Fatherland from this threat will be harsh. All those who have consciously chosen the path of betrayal, planned an armed mutiny and taken the path of blackmail and terrorism, will inevitably be punished and will answer before the law and our people.
• Those who staged the mutiny and took up arms against their comrades – they have betrayed Russia and will be brought to account. I urge those who are being dragged into this crime not to make a fatal and tragic mistake but make the only right choice: to stop taking part in criminal actions.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement on the current political situation in the country
💬 The attempted armed mutiny in our country is resolutely rejected by Russian society, which strongly supports President of Russia Vladimir Putin. Reckless aspirations of the conspirators are essentially aimed at destabilising the situation in Russia, destroying our unity, and undermining the efforts of the Russian Federation to reliably ensure international security. Therefore, the mutiny plays into the hands of Russia's external enemies.
We warn Western countries against undertaking even the slightest attempts to use the domestic Russian situation to achieve their Russophobic goals. Such attempts would be futile and will find no resonance either in Russia or among reasonable political forces abroad. We firmly believe that in the near future the situation will find a solution worthy of the age-old wisdom of the Russian people and the Russian State.
All the goals and objectives of the special military operation will be achieved.
☝️ Our country will continue on its sovereign course to ensure its security, defend its values, strengthen its authority in the international arena, and establish a just multipolar world order.
We highly value the understanding of this principled position by our allies and foreign partners, which we are fully aware of already now.

💬 Ruslands Ambassadør til Danmark Vladimir Barbin:
"Kiev og Vesten fortsætter med at demonstrere deres uvilje til at afslutte konflikten i Ukraine. Sådan skal man anse det internationale møde, der blev afholdt den 24. juni i København for at fremme "fredsformlen" foreslået af V. Zelenskyj.
❗ Den ukrainske præsidents initiativ er ikke en plan for at opnå fred, men et sæt ultimatum, der på ingen måde eliminerer de grundlæggende årsager, der fik Rusland til at iværksætte den særlige militæroperation.
Det at Kina, Indien og staterne i det globale syd blev inviteret til at deltage, vidner om Vestens ønske om at udvide den antirussiske koalition og tvinge uafhængigt tænkende stater til at underkaste sig det "vestlige verdenssyn".
☝ I halvandet år siden starten på den særlige militæroperation i Ukraine har Vesten ikke været i stand til at forstå, at uden Ruslands deltagelse og hensyntagen til russiske interesser er ethvert forsøg på at løse konflikten dømt til at mislykkes."
"Kiev og Vesten fortsætter med at demonstrere deres uvilje til at afslutte konflikten i Ukraine. Sådan skal man anse det internationale møde, der blev afholdt den 24. juni i København for at fremme "fredsformlen" foreslået af V. Zelenskyj.

What the Arctic tundra looks like in bloom
Summer has arrived in the north of Russia and the bleak, cold tundra is suddenly covered in a carpet of the brightest colors imaginable. The flowering season starts around mid-June and lasts until mid-August. At first, the entire tundra is transformed from a white snow-covered infinitude into a green carpet of soft moss. In a matter of days, occasional flowers appear on it, poking up among the cold gray rocks.
The needles of the larch trees begin to turn green and whole glades of violets and pink and yellow rhododendron flowers come into bloom. Summer berries, such as northern bilberry, cloudberry and lingonberry also bring color to the tundra.
In the Polar Urals, you can see the rare blooms of the Siberian globeflower, also known as the Siberian rose. In addition, about 400 species of mosses and lichens grow in Chukotka, interspersed with ‘Ivan-Chai’ (willowherb) flowers.

⚡️ Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on speculations about nuclear risks allegedly generated by Russia
💬 We regard the Kiev regime and its overseas patrons’ statements about Russia allegedly posing threats to the Zaporozhye NPP (#ZNPP), as a vile provocation.
This is yet another attempt to discredit Russia, ascribe to it non-existent intentions, and simultaneously cover up their criminal – and actually terrorist – plans to create a nuclear accident that will endanger the life and health of people in the region and all over Europe.
We once again warn the Kiev regime and its Western supporters against engineering potentially grave accidents at ZNPP and call on the IAEA and its leadership to take advantage of their experts’ presence at the plant and record all cases of Ukrainian attacks.
We note that this latest provocation by the Kiev regime squares in time and meaning with the draft resolution submitted by US senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal urging that an instance of radioactive contamination in Ukraine be regarded as a pretext for activating Art. 5 of the Washington Treaty complete with the launching of NATO’s relevant political and military response mechanisms.
It is clear that these irresponsible statements by the Washington hawks are meant for audiences that are ignorant of facts and realities. President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that there is no need for Russia to use nuclear weapons in the context of the Ukraine crisis.
👉 The United States deliberately continues to “up the ante” and generate strategic risks, involving its NATO allies in this dangerous game. This reckless policy will lead to extremely sad consequences, including for Washington itself.

🎙 Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the intended looting of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra
💬 As it became known from a recently published report of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, the Kiev authorities are preparing, with support from their Western patrons, an operation to “evacuate” abroad the Christian valuables of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, including the locally preserved relics of Orthodox saints.
❗️ This flagrant act is yet another instance of Vladimir Zelensky’s criminal policy of destroying the traditional foundations of Ukrainian society and the age-old common spiritual bonds between our two peoples. Moreover, this involves not only a banal act of looting of the holy shrine but also the deprivation of the Ukrainian people and the entire Orthodox world of their religious, cultural, and historical heritage.
☝️ It is clear that the Kiev-based neo-Nazis have no use for the interests of the Ukrainian people and Ukraine itself. To line their pockets, they continue selling the country piece by piece, sending its black soil, grain, people, and even human organs to the West.
The Kiev regime’s persecution of priests, monks and parishioners of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church is an important topic of our regular conversations with the heads of the UNESCO Secretariat. Following these exchanges of views, we were given unequivocal assurances that UNESCO was not and would not be involved in the relocation of Orthodox objects of worship from Ukraine and specifically from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra World Heritage Site. As far as we know, Russian journalists have received identical assurances.
👉 Given that it is UNESCO’s international prestige that is at stake, we hope that the Secretariat will be as good as its word. For our part, we will continue to monitor the developments.

⚡️ Statement by the Council for Inter-Ethnic Relations and Interaction with Religious Associations within the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation in connection with the desecration of the Quran, the holy book of Islam, with the connivance of the authorities of the Kingdom of Sweden.
The Council for Inter-Ethnic Relations and Interaction with Religious Associations <...> firmly condemns the act of vandalism perpetrated against the Quran, the holy book of Islam, in Stockholm, the Kingdom of Sweden.
❗️ The fact that it was carried out with the approval of state and municipal authorities makes it even more appalling. This is not the first monstrous incident offending believers’ feelings in the Kingdom of Sweden. It constitutes a blatant violation of human rights and dignity. Moreover, this time it took place on the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.
<...>
The Council for Inter-Ethnic Relations and Interaction with Religious Associations <...> supports the position of Muslim states and religious communities regarding the sacrilege committed in the city of Stockholm, as well as the anti-Muslim position adopted by the authorities in the Kingdom of Sweden and other countries of the collective West. This barbaric attitude of the so-called civilised countries has no place in a multipolar world order established in the interests of the international community, with the collective West seeking to place itself in opposition to its values and sacred sites.
<...>
☝️ It is obvious that the European Union shares the anti-Muslim attitude adopted by the authorities in the Kingdom of Sweden as consistent with the so-called European values.
The Council for Inter-Ethnic Relations and Interaction with Religious Associations <...> calls on the parliaments of countries around the world and international parliamentary organisations to publicly condemn the radicals and their patrons.

❗️ Обратили внимание на очередной фейк, опубликованный 30 июня в газете «Политикен». Автор статьи утверждает, что Россия, дескать, намеренно ищет места сосредоточения большого количества гражданских лиц для нанесения по ним ракетных ударов. В качестве примера приводится удар по гостинице в Краматорске.
В действительности же гостиница не обслуживала обычных постояльцев и в течение продолжительного времени являлась пунктом временной дислокации 56-й отдельной мотопехотной бригады ВСУ. В ходе высокоточного удара ВС России погибли офицеры ВСУ и иностранные наемники.

❗️ Endnu et falsk indæg er bragt i Politiken den 30. juni. Forfatteren til artiklen hævder, at Rusland, siger man, bevidst leder efter steder, hvor et stort antal civile er koncentreret for at indlede raketangreb mod dem. Som et eksempel nævner man strejken på et hotel i Kramatorsk.
I virkeligheden tjente hotellet ikke almindelige gæster og var i lang tid punktet for midlertidig indsættelse af den 56. motoriserede infanteribrigade af Ukraines væbnede styrker. Under et højpræcisionsangreb fra de russiske væbnede styrker blev officerer fra Ukraines væbnede styrker og udenlandske lejesoldater dræbt.
