❗️Об очередном нападении БПЛА на Торговое представительство России в Швеции
5 июля 2025 г. около 3:30 утра Торговое представительство России в Швеции, являющееся неотъемлемой частью российской дипломатической миссии, вновь подверглось нападению с использованием дрона, с которого был сброшен пакет с краской. Предыдущая такая атака произошла 17 июня.
Подобные нападения на Посольство и Торгпредство России продолжаются более года. Неоднократно обращались к шведской полиции и в МИД Швеции с призывами пресечь такие атаки и выполнять в полном объеме обязательства шведского государства по Венской конвенции о дипломатических сношениях 1961 г. по обеспечению безопасности и неприкосновенности иностранных дипломатических миссий. Результатов, как видим, по-прежнему нет. Возникает закономерный вопрос: шведские власти не могут или не хотят расследовать эти инциденты и обеспечить защиту диппредставительств?
Требуем полноценного расследования этой, а также предыдущих атак БПЛА против Посольства и Торгпредства России, установления инициаторов и исполнителей этих акций, привлечения их к ответственности, недопущения подобных нападений впредь.
В Стокгольме должны понимать, что шведские власти несут всю полноту ответственности за развитие этой ситуации.

❗️Rysslands Handelsrepresentation i Sverige har utsatts för ytterligare drönarattack
Vid kl 3:30 den 5 juli 2025 blev Rysslands Handelsrepresentation i Sverige, som utgör en beståndsdel i den ryska diplomatiska beskickningen, återigen attackerad av en drönare som släppte ner en behållare med färg på marken framför huvudentrén. Föregående attack av detta slag ägde rum den 17 juni.
Likartade övergrepp mot Rysslands Ambassad och Handelsrepresentation har skett i över ett år. Vi har upprepade gånger uppmanat svenska polisen och Utrikesdepartementet att förhindra sådana attacker och till fullo följa svenska statens åtaganden enligt 1961 års Wienkonvention om diplomatiska förbindelser om att skydda de utländska beskickningarnas okränkbarhet. Detta gav till synes aldrig någon effekt, vilket väcker en berättigad fråga om de svenska myndigheterna inte kan eller inte vill utreda dessa incidenter och säkerställa skyddet för utländska beskickningar.
Vi kräver att såväl denna som tidigare drönarattacker mot Ryska Ambassaden och Handelsrepresentationen fullständigt utreds, deras beställare och gärningsmän identifieras och ställas till svars, samt att ytterligare likartade angrepp förebyggs.
Stockholm ska inse att det är de svenska myndigheterna som bär det fulla ansvaret för utvecklingen av denna situation.

🎙 Remarks by President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the main Plenary Session of the XVII BRICS Summit (July 6, 2025)
💬 President Putin: Colleagues, friends.
First of all, I would like to join the words of gratitude to President Lula da Silva and the Brazilian Chairmanship for their active efforts in advancing the strategic partnership within #BRICS.
It is important that the BRICS countries continue to deepen their cooperation across key sectors in politics, security, the economy and finance, cultural and humanitarian contacts.
This group has significantly grown and now includes leading states in Eurasia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. Together, we possess a vast political, economic, scientific, technological, and human potential.
📈 The BRICS countries account for not only a third of the Earth’s landmass and almost half the planet’s population, but also for 40 percent of the global economy, while their combined GDP at purchasing power parity stands at $77 trillion. This is the 2025 data according to the IMF. By the way, BRICS is substantially ahead of other groups in this parameter, including G7 with $57 trillion.
Year after year, our group’s global authority and influence continue growing. BRICS has rightfully established itself as one of the key centres of global governance, with our collective voice in support of the global majority’s vital interests resonating ever more powerfully across the international stage.
BRICS has many supporters in the Global South and East. The culture of an open partnership and cooperation, mutual respect and consideration for each other’s interests in the group appeals to them. Based on this knowledge, during the summit in Kazan, Russia, in October 2024, we decided to establish a category of BRICS partner states, to develop ad hoc practical cooperation with all interested countries. BRICS has ten partner states to date.
🌐 I will stress that the BRICS countries represent different development models, religions, authentic civilisations and cultures, while unanimously upholding equality and neighbourliness. They prioritise traditional values, the high ideals of friendship and accord, striving to contribute to global stability and security, the prosperity and success of all nations. Without doubt, this constructive approach and unifying agenda are highly relevant amidst the geopolitical challenges of today.
We all see that the world is experiencing tectonic shifts. The unipolar system of international relations that once served the interests of the so-called golden billion, is losing its relevance, replaced by a more just multi-polar world. Global economic patterns are changing faster. Everything indicates that the liberal globalisation model is becoming obsolete while the centre of business activity is gravitating towards developing markets, launching a powerful growth wave, including in the BRICS countries. To maximise the emerging prospects, it is important to intensify cooperation within the group, primarily in technology, effective resource development, logistics, insurance, trade and finance.
It is important to continue expanding the use of national currencies in mutual payments. It is believed that creating an independent payment and monetary system within BRICS will expedite currency transactions while also ensuring their effectiveness and security. Furthermore, using national currencies in trade within BRICS is steadily growing. In 2024, the share of Russia’s national currency, the ruble, and the currencies of our friendly states in transactions with Russia and other BRICS countries reached 90 percent.

📄 XVII BRICS Summit Rio de Janeiro Declaration "Strengthening Global South Cooperation for a More Inclusive and
Sustainable Governance"
Full text of the Declaration
Excerpts from the Declaration:
• We reiterate our commitment to reforming and improving global governance by promoting a more just, equitable, agile, effective, efficient, responsive, representative, legitimate, democratic and accountable international and multilateral system in the spirit of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits.
• We reaffirm our commitment to multilateralism and upholding the international law, including the Purposes and Principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations (UN), in their entirety and interconnectedness as its indispensable cornerstone, and the central role of the UN in the international system.
🇺🇳 We reiterate our support for a comprehensive reform of the United Nations, including its Security Council, with a view to making it more democratic, representative, effective and efficient, and to increase the representation of developing countries in the Council’s memberships so that it can adequately respond to prevailing global challenges and support the legitimate aspirations of emerging and developing countries from Africa, Asia and Latin America, including BRICS countries, to play a greater role in international affairs, in particular in the United Nations, including its Security Council.
🌐 We acknowledge that multipolarity can expand opportunities for EMDCs to develop their constructive potential and enjoy universally beneficial, inclusive and equitable economic globalization and cooperation.
• We condemn the imposition of unilateral coercive measures that are contrary to international law, and reiterate that such measures, inter alia in the form of unilateral economic sanctions and secondary sanctions, have far-reaching negative implications for the human rights, including the rights to development, health and food security, of the general population of targeted states, disproportionally affecting the poor and people in vulnerable situations, deepening the digital divide and exacerbating environmental challenges. We call for the elimination of such unlawful measures, which undermine international law and the principles and purposes of the UN Charter.
• We reaffirm that BRICS member states do not impose or support non-UN Security Council authorized sanctions that are contrary to international law.
• We condemn the military strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran since 13 June 2025, which constitute a violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and express grave concern over the subsequent escalation of the security situation in the Middle East.
• We recall that the Gaza Strip is an inseparable part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory. We underline, in this regard, the importance of unifying the West Bank and the Gaza Strip under the Palestinian Authority, and reaffirm the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, including the right to their independent State of Palestine.
• We reiterate that the principle 🌍 “African solutions to African problems” should continue to serve as the basis for conflict resolution on the African continent.
❗️ We condemn in the strongest terms the attacks against bridges and railways infrastructure deliberately targeting civilians in Bryansk, Kursk and Voronezh regions of the Russian Federation on 31 May, 1 and 5 June 2025, resulting in multiple civilian casualties, including children.
• We commend 🇧🇷 Brazil’s BRICS Chairship in 2025 and express our gratitude to the government and people of Brazil for holding the XVII BRICS Summit in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
• We extend full support to 🇮🇳 India for its BRICS Chairship in 2026 and the holding of the XVIII BRICS Summit in India.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at Session II of the XVII BRICS Summit «Strengthening multilateral world order, financial and economic issues, artificial intelligence» (Rio de Janeiro, July 6, 2025)
📄 Read in full
Key talking points:
• Strengthening the multilateral world order while the international system goes through fundamental transformations is one of the crucial tasks for #BRICS and for the entire international community.
• Multipolarity is not a choice but rather an objective reality which succeeds the outdated neoliberal model that actually builds on neocolonial practices. The traditional paradigm of globalization where the predominant role is played by the so-called developed states of the West is becoming a relic.
• Countries of the Global South and East are becoming a main driving force of the global economic growth. Regional organizations such as the African Union, CELAC, ASEAN, SCO, EAEU are playing an increased role. In this context conceptual and practical approaches are being developed to establish a new architecture of world economy based on the principles of equality, multilateralism and non-discrimination in trade, financial settlements, technology, logistics.
• BRICS countries account for more than 40% of the global gross domestic product based on purchasing power parity, and together with partner countries this figure is at 45% or 93 trillion dollars. Today BRICS represents more than 20% of global trade and almost a half of world population.
• The share of BRICS countries in trade with Russia is constantly growing and in 2014 it exceeded 48%, with 90% of mutual settlements made in national currencies.
• It is of significant importance to pursue the reform and depolarization of the Bretton-Woods institutions which should reflect a real state of affairs in the world economy. The continued use of the IMF and WB with a view to preserve neocolonial practices is unacceptable.
• The increasingly aggressive attempts by the West to introduce ideological ultimatums into the dialogue as what are virtually the main criteria – based on Western interpretations of human rights and democracy – are having an extremely negative impact on the delivery of the UN sustainable development goals.
• To address imbalances and to mobilize resources for development Russia introduced an initiative to create within BRICS a New Investment Platform with the participation of the New Development Bank (NDB). We thank colleagues for showing their interest to the promising initiative.
• Artificial Intelligence is becoming a critical technology. Experts estimate that AI contribution to the global domestic product will be at 20 trillion dollars by 2030.
• We will need to address issues related to ensuring universal access to advance developments in this field. Secret initiatives put forward by a number of countries and with restricted participation with a view to promote non-consensus approaches are fraught with the most serious consequences.
• The challenges associated with the development of digital technologies are transnational in nature and require collective response.
• I am convinced that BRICS nations together with like-minded countries will continue to lead in promoting a just multipolar world order that will provide favourable conditions for sustainable development of all States without exception.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks on Environment, the 30th UNFCCC COP, and the Global Healthcare System at the 3rd session of the XVII BRICS Summit (Rio de Janeiro, July 7, 2025)
💬 We welcome the emerging trend towards more pragmatic approaches to energy transition with account taken of the full range of national positions.
This endeavour must not discriminate against any energy sources or technologies to the detriment of socioeconomic development.
It is likewise clear that all kinds of unilateral sanctions severely undermine efforts to implement the Paris Agreement.
In line with the national greenhouse emissions reduction target approved by President Vladimir Putin in 2020, Russia is implementing programmes to cut greenhouse gas emissions, to introduce innovative technologies, to improve energy efficiency, and to promote energy conservation. Russia’s Climate Doctrine envisions achieving carbon neutrality by 2060.
We support the outcomes of the 29th session of the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP29) held in Baku last year. Its central goal was to coordinate a new collective climate funding goal.
Despite our Western colleagues’ attempts to evade responsibility to failing to assist the Global South, a balanced final decision with specific resource allocation targets has been adopted.
The key now is to ensure that the West’s commitments do not merely remain on paper as happened with their pledge to provide $100 billion annually, a point just highlighted by the distinguished Prime Minister of Egypt.
Scaling up efforts to mobilise the necessary funds and to transfer technologies to developing countries is crucial to enhancing their contribution to global emission reduction efforts.
The Declaration, agreed upon under Brazil’s BRICS presidency, reinforces active #BRICS projects on climate change and sustainable development, laying a solid foundation for further joint action, including in preparation for the 30th UNFCCC COP in Berlin this November.
The new technological and economic paradigm demands special approaches to human capital development, something that was discussed in-depth today. A decade ago, the participants of 2015 BRICS Summit Declaration in Ufa emphasised the importance of cooperation in addressing global health challenges.
In response to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, BRICS launched efforts to establish a comprehensive early warning system for mass infectious disease outbreaks.
We propose coordinating BRICS actions on reforming the World Health Organisation to help it refocus on its core mandate of safeguarding global health by combatting diseases and monitoring sanitary and epidemiological situations.
At the same time, it is vital to counter attempts by certain countries to subordinate the WHO to their own interests, particularly in the sphere of biotechnologies, by exploiting the organisation for overtly geopolitical purposes. It would be beneficial to use WHO platforms to highlight the significance of BRICS health initiatives, such as the successful work of the BRICS Vaccine Research and Development Centre, the expansion of research networks on tuberculosis and public health, and Brazil’s proposed cooperation mechanism to eradicate socially determined diseases.
Other promising areas include nuclear medicine, training skilled personnel for national healthcare systems, advancing innovations in cancer diagnosis and treatment, and producing radiopharmaceuticals and medical isotopes.
Russia has a long tradition of assisting developing nations in healthcare and infectious disease control. Corresponding programmes, including laboratory establishment and vaccine production, are being implemented in 15 African countries.
🗓 In closing, please be advised that international drills for rapid-response teams dealing with epidemiological emergencies will be held in Kronstadt, outside St. Petersburg, this September. We look forward to welcoming all our partners there.

📄 On the occasion of the 80th Anniversary of Victory and ahead of the 81st Anniversary of the Liberation of Karelia from Nazi German and Finnish occupation forces, the report 'On Historical and International Legal Accountability of Finland for the Occupation of Karelia During Great Patriotic War (WWII) (1941–1944)' has been published by the Representative Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation in Petrozavodsk.

On August 1, 2024, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Karelia ruled on the application of the Prosecutor of the Republic of Karelia to establish a fact of legal significance. The Court recognized crimes committed by Nazi occupation forces and Finnish occupation authorities and troops on the territory of the Karelo-Finnish SSR during the Great Patriotic War (WWII) (1941-1944) as war crimes and crimes against humanity.
These crimes, defined in the Charter of the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal (August 8, 1945) and affirmed by UN General Assembly Resolutions 3(I) (February 13, 1946) and 95 (I) (December 11, 1946), were perpetrated against at least 86,000 Soviet citizens.
The evidence presented to the court confirmed that the occupiers systematically tortured civilians and prisoners of war. This included subjecting them to forced labor under brutal conditions, physical beatings, the prolonged denial of medical care, and confinement in inhumane concentration camp conditions.
Based on evidence presented during hearings, the court established that over 26,000 civilians and prisoners of war perished during the occupation. <...>
The established pattern confirms large-scale war crimes comparable in severity to those perpetrated by Nazi Germany.
❗️ The evidence leaves no reasonable doubt that these violations stemmed principally from the Nazi-inspired concept of a “Greater Finland”. <...>
The occupation policy of Finland in Karelia (1941–1944) centered on establishing an ethnically purified “Greater Finland”, incorporating Soviet Karelia. Under this policy Finno-Ugric peoples (Karelians, Vepsians, Ingrians, Finns) were designated for Finnish citizenship and the Russian population was systematically isolated through internment in concentration camps, labor camps, and prisons, with planned expulsion from the territory.
FACTS:
▪️ The first of the 14 primary concentration camps was established in Petrozavodsk on October 24, 1941. In addition to these civilian concentration camps, the Finnish occupation authorities created an extensive system of forced detention facilities, including: 34 labor camps and penal labor battalions, 42 camps and companies for Soviet prisoners of war, 9 prisons, and 1 colony. The concentration and labor camps operated numerous sub-camps and branches.
▪️ Workdays began at 6:00 a.m. with meager rations. Exhausted prisoners performing hard labor were routinely beaten or shot.
▪️ Men, women, and children of all ages were confined together in unheated barracks, with a standard allocation of only 1 to 3 sq m per person. The official daily ration for camp inmates was: 300 g of flour, 15 g of sugar, and 50-100 g of horse meat or sausage per week.
▪️ The death rate from exhaustion in concentration camps exceeded the Nazi German figures (13.75% versus 10%). There is still no precise data on the number of deaths.
▪️ A particularly egregious incident occurred in February 1943 in the village of Spasskaya Guba. Finnish soldiers deliberately set fire to a boarding school housing 17 children. <...> Witnesses described Finnish soldiers photographing the scene. Residents were prevented from extinguishing the blaze or rescuing the children. Five children, aged between 7 and 13, perished as a result.
▪️ During the occupation of the Karelo-Finnish SSR, Finnish forces implemented a “scorched earth” policy. This resulted in the complete destruction of approximately 90 settlements, significant damage to 409, the complete or partial destruction of over 3,700 residential buildings.

#KievRegimeCrimes
The neo-Nazis in Kiev & beyond continue to reign terror and target civilian population of Russian regions. Murder, torture, terrorist attacks 👇
📹 Online exhibition presented in a brief video and noscriptd "Chronicles of Terror by the Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Regime", organized by Russia's State Duma together with the RIA Novosti news agency, shines light on many of these crimes, hushed by Western mainstream media.
The exhibition features photos of victims of attacks by Ukrainian neo-Nazis, including the elderly and children, people who have lost their homes, as well as buildings such as hospitals, kindergartens, and churches that have been destroyed or riddled with bullets. The photos also depict Russian servicemen and volunteers providing assistance to those affected by the massive assaults of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
We cannot remain silent about the crimes whose victims are innocent civilians — people whose loved ones were killed, whose homes were destroyed, and whose lives were shattered.
❗️ The world must know about the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime in Kiev.

💬 On July 8, Ukrainian neo-Nazis launched two drone strikes on the “Gorodskoy” beach in Kursk. Three people were killed, seven injured.
❗️We call on the reasonable part of the international community to condemn these heinous acts of violence.
Over the past week, ~160 people have become victims of Nazi shelling and UAV attacks.
◾️ 17 were killed and 140+ injured, incl. 8 children.
On July 4, two people were injured in the Sergiev Posad due to falling debris from drones shot down by air defense systems.

💬 Продолжаются поставки западного вооружения на Украину.
После анонсированного ранее решения Вашингтона приостановить военные поставки киевскому режиму на время ревизии складов Пентагона из США прозвучали заявления об их возобновлении.
☝️ Предстоит оценить последствия таких шагов, но уверенно можно сказать о том, что продолжение накачки киевского режима оружием, мягко говоря, не способствует мирному урегулированию конфликта. <...>
Евробюрократы продолжают эскалационную линию. Их абсолютно не интересует благополучие миллионов простых европейцев, — чего уж говорить об украинцев, — свои граждане не интересуют. Свои граждане, чьи кошельки брюссельские чиновники беспардонно опустошают.
Не прекращает лицемерить канцлер ФРГ Мерц. Он пытается оправдать неизбежность поставки киевскому режиму крылатых ракет Taurus. В интервью немецкому телеканалу 1 июля он указал на техническую сложность этого вида вооружений, обучение обращению с которыми занимает не менее шести месяцев. Подчеркнул, что если Берлин поставит Taurus, то это оружие будет использоваться не немецкими военнослужащими, а украинскими, как это якобы происходит с крылатыми ракетами, которые киевский режим получает от Британии и Франции.
❗️ За всей этой словесной пеленой скрывается плохо закамуфлированное желание правительства Мерца также поучаствовать в нанесении ударов вглубь нашей страны. О том, что это будет означать непосредственное вступление ФРГ в конфликт с нашей страной, в Берлине, похоже, не задумываются, а стоило бы.
В свою очередь правительство Швеции ради наращивания поддержки киевских неонацистов 1 июля пошло на существенное урезание гуманитарной помощи по линии содействия международному развитию беднейшим странам мира, в первую очередь, в Азии. <...>
Уже в текущем году это якобы позволит Стокгольму сэкономить в пользу Украины порядка 177 млн долл. – в результате объём помощи шведов киевскому режиму достигнет в 2025 году 957 млн долл. <...>
Аргументация такой «щедрости» за счёт нуждающихся цинична. Они говорят о том, что якобы в связи с приостановкой финансирования развивающихся стран со стороны США Швеция в одиночку не сможет исправить ухудашающуюся там гуманитарную ситуацию. А Украина якобы остаётся приоритетом шведской политики.
☝️ Иными словами, для Стокгольма важнее интересы коррумпированных укронацистов, чем эксплуатируемых Западом беднейших государств.
Впрочем, за океаном всё меньше верят в успех украинского проекта. Как сообщило 5 июля одно из западных информационных агентств, американская инвестиционная компания «БлэкРок» уже в начале года прекратила поиск инвесторов для вложений в украинский фонд развития, о котором планировалось объявить на предстоящей в Риме 10-11 июля конференции по «восстановлению Украины».
Заявленная причина – отсутствие интереса на фоне растущей неопределённости в отношении будущего страны. Ранее анонсировалось привлечение в фонд порядка 500 млн долларов от стран, международных банков развития и других спонсоров, а также 2 млрд долл. от частных инвесторов.
👉 Но, как теперь видим, умеющие оценивать инвестиционные риски американцы решили скорректировать планы и не вкладываться в то, что является абсолютно бесперспективным.

✍️В годовщину Полтавской битвы:
О дипломате-пленнике и других неизвестных героях Северной войны
10 июля – День воинской славы России, установленный в честь победы русской армии под командованием Петра I в состоявшемся в 1709 г. Полтавском сражении.
Полтавская битва не только стала решающим эпизодом Северной войны 1700-1721 гг. – она на столетия вперед определила перспективы развития Северной Европы и баланс сил на Балтике.
Полтавская битва по сей день актуальна как объект изучения для исторической и военной науки. Ряд таких исследований посвящен гуманитарным аспектам Полтавской битвы, а также Северной войны в целом.
В судьбе российских пленных в Швеции немалую роль сыграл князь Андрей Яковлевич Хилков, ставший в 1700 г. первым российским дипломатическим представителем («резидентом») в Швеции.
Едва А.Я.Хилков успел вручить верительные грамоты шведскому королю, началась Северная война, и он был арестован, а его имущество – изъято. Несмотря на это дипломат продолжал работать в крайне тяжелых и в физическом, и в моральном плане условиях.
В 1705 г. российский представитель был выслан из Стокгольма, и начались его многолетние мытарства по шведским «городам и весям». Он содержался в провинциальных шведских городках, таких как Йончёпинг и Эребру, на территории тогдашней Финляндии, в Вестеросе, время от времени был возвращаем в столицу. Последними местами его пребывания в Швеции стали Йончёпинг и остров Висингсё, расположенный в одном из крупнейших озер Европы Веттерн.
На Висингсё есть русское кладбище – Rysskyrkogården, где в 1995 г. по инициативе Посольства России в Швеции был открыт небольшой монумент, а в 2019 г. – установлен мемориал в честь погребенных там русских солдат и офицеров.
