⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement in connection with the attack on Israeli territory
💬 In the early hours of April 14, a large number of missiles and drones were launched at the territory of Israel.
According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, this attack was undertaken as part of the right to self-defence stipulated in Article 51 of the UN Charter in response to the attacks on Iranian targets in the region, including the strike on the consular section of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus on April 1, which our country strongly denounced.
Unfortunately, due to the position adopted by its Western members, the Security Council was unable to provide a proper response to the strike on the Iranian consular mission.
We express our extreme concern at yet another dangerous escalation in the region. We have repeatedly warned that the numerous unresolved crises in the Middle East, primarily in the area of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which are often fueled by irresponsible provocative actions, will exacerbate tensions.
☝️ We call on all parties involved in the conflict to exercise restraint. We expect the regional states to resolve the existing problems through political and diplomatic means. We believe it is important for the constructively-minded international players to contribute to this effort.

🎙 Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov's interview with TV BRICS (April 18, 2024)
Key talking points:
• [When several new members joined BRICS] it was unclear how the adjustment process would go and what would come out of it. After [four months of Russia's Chairship] our cooperation has gained momentum and we are moving forward towards success at an increasing pace.
• During the BRICS Chairship, Russia will continue its work in three key areas: politics and security, economy and finance, humanitarian cooperation. <...> I am glad that all the members of the association collaborate in a friendly manner, striving for best results.
• The Leaders [of the BRICS countries] have taken a decision that made the Group unequivocally stronger. The association asserted itself as <...> a key link in the emerging multipolar world.
• We assume that each of the new members will bring something new <...> to the group. The rich history and cultural traditions of the newcomers speak for themselves. It enriches BRICS.
• Our "group of ten" is beginning to demonstrate solidarity at international platforms. The BRICS countries recently adopted a joint statement at the UN Environment Assembly in Nairobi. The members of the association are asserting themselves in a constructive manner on the broadest possible agenda.

🎙 Russia's President Vladimir Putin's address to participants in 12th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues
💬 President Putin: Welcome to St Petersburg for the opening of the 12th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues.
During the upcoming plenary sessions, discussions, and roundtables, you will analyse the global landscape, discuss key aspects of global and regional stability, and share perspectives on enhancing responses to the most urgent and perilous contemporary challenges.
Undoubtedly, international terrorism remains one of the gravest threats of the 21st century <…> At the same time, the tactics employed by these criminals are becoming increasingly complex and barbaric.
Once again, this was demonstrated by the bloody terrorist attack that took place on March 22 in the Moscow Region. Russia’s intelligence services and law enforcement agencies are investigating and scrutinising every detail of this despicable act, identifying all parties involved, including instigators, sponsors, and orchestrators. None of them should escape just punishment.
I know that your meeting will primarily focus on addressing the issue of safeguarding the information space from both external and internal threats. This topic holds importance for all nations, as it significantly contributes to ensuring national security, social stability, and economic development.
We strongly advocate for the systematic and concerted efforts of the global community in establishing unified, legally binding norms and principles governing state conduct in the information domain.
Undoubtedly, the key factor in strengthening the sovereignty and security of nations lies in safeguarding and protecting traditional spiritual and moral values <…>
Russia stands ready for close cooperation with all interested partners to uphold global and regional security and to establish a new multipolar international order that aligns with the interests of the majority of nations.
