🇷🇺 🇺🇸Comment by the Russian Embassy in the United States regarding the US lawmakers' statement about Russia's responsibility for the global food crisis
🔹 We have noted the accusations of congressmen Gregory Meeks and Michael McCaul against Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov of spreading disinformation during his tour in Africa about the involvement of our country in the food crisis.
🔹 Statements by the US lawmakers are part of a smear campaign against Russia and evidence of desperation at the inability to isolate our country.
❗️The root cause of the agrocrisis lies in systemic errors in the macroeconomic policy of the Western states.
🔹 The Russian side is deeply concerned about the current situation in the international agricultural markets. We intend to go on fulfilling in good faith all our obligations under export agricultural contracts.
☝️We urge the US authorities to stop passing the buck and take specific steps to guarantee the exclusion of Russian food and fertilizer supplies from direct and indirect sanctions.
‼️Public assurances and "comfort letters" won’t work. It is necessary to ensure the smooth operation of the transport and logistics system, including Russian and foreign ports, as well as the effective financial support of the relevant operations.

⚡️ Ответ на вопрос СМИ М.В.Захаровой относительно возможности обмена российских и американских граждан, пребывающих в местах заключения в России и США 🇷🇺🇺🇸
❓ Как Вы могли бы прокомментировать сделанное вчера заявление Госсекретаря США Э.Блинкена о том, что, как приводят СМИ, США сделали России «серьезное предложение» по обмену В.Бута на американских граждан Б.Грайнер и П.Уилана?
💬 М.В.Захарова: Вопрос взаимного обмена российских и американских граждан, находящихся в местах заключения на территории двух стран, в своё время обговаривался Президентами России и США. Ими были даны поручения соответствующим уполномоченным структурам осуществлять переговоры. Они ведутся компетентными ведомствами. Конкретный результат пока не достигнут.
При этом мы исходим из того, что в ходе переговорного процесса должны быть учтены интересы обеих сторон.

⚔️ On July 28, 1944, the Red Army liberated Brest, famous fortified city that was among the first to come under the strike of the Nazi invaders and became the embodiment of Soviet resistance. In June 1941, its defenders repelled attacks by superior enemy forces for almost a month.
The Soviet soldiers who liberated Brest found inscriptions written by its heroic defenders on the fortress’ ruins. These inscriptions, some signed, others anonymous, covered the floors and walls. In them, the Red Army soldiers said goodbye to their Motherland and families, while declaring their determination to fight to the death.
🎖 In 1965, Brest was awarded Hero Fortress title. Six years later, a memorial complex comprising the ruins of the White Palace opened at the fortress.

☦️ On July 28, Russia celebrates the Baptism of Rus. On this day in 988, Prince Vladimir and his warriors were baptised in the city of Korsun (Chersonesus), the centre of Byzantian territory in Crimea.
The baptism of Rus was an event of landmark significance. It accelerated the unification of Slavic tribes and the establishment of a united Russian state. By adopting one of the major world’s religions, our country tapped into the spiritual and cultural legacy of Byzantium, which considerably increased its international prestige.
⛪️ The St Vladimir Cathedral, a major architectural landmark of Sevastopol, was built at the site of Prince Vladimir’s baptism in the 19th century.

⚡️ Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question on the possibility of Russia and the US exchanging Russian and US citizens detained or imprisoned in their respective countries 🇷🇺🇺🇸
❓ Can you comment on yesterday’s statement by United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken? According to media reports, the United States has a ‘substantial proposal’ for Russia to swap Viktor Bout for US citizens Brittney Griner and Paul N. Whelan.
💬 Maria Zakharova: The Presidents of Russia and the United States discussed the question of exchanging Russian and American citizens imprisoned or detained in these two countries some time ago. They instructed the relevant agencies to launch talks on this subject. This is what the competent agencies are doing. They have yet to achieve tangible results.
We proceed from the premise that the interests of both sides must be taken into consideration during this negotiating process.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s reply to a question from "Uzbekistan-24" TV Channel
💬 Today, President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and I discussed the entire range of issues in the agreements between he and President Vladimir Putin which were reached during the President of Uzbekistan’s visit to Russia last year and during their subsequent telephone conversations 🇷🇺🇺🇿
Participation in multilateral associations like the #CIS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) are a special area of bilateral cooperation. For obvious reasons, we spoke at length about the preparations for the #SCO summit in Samarkand next September.
Naturally, #Afghanistan 🇦🇫 will be prominent in our discussions. As in the past, Tashkent will again be the capital for special international meetings to discuss Afghanistan-related issues and the implications for the neighboring countries.

🇷🇺🇺🇸📞 29 июля по инициативе американской стороны состоялся телефонный разговор С.В.Лаврова с Госсекретарем США Э.Блинкеном.
Главы внешнеполитических ведомств обсудили текущую ситуацию на Украине. Министр изложил российские принципиальные подходы в свете проводимой СВО на территории ДНР, ЛНР и Украины, подчеркнув, что её цели и задачи будут полностью выполнены.
В данном контексте внимание Госсекретаря было обращено на то, что продолжающаяся накачка ВСУ и нацбатальонов американским и натовским оружием, которое масштабно применяется против мирного населения, лишь продлевает агонию режима в Киеве. С.В.Лавров подчеркнул, что ВС России строго соблюдают нормы международного права.
Проведён обмен мнениями по проблематике двусторонних отношений, остро нуждающихся в нормализации. Касательно возможного обмена заключенных граждан России и США с российской стороны настоятельно предложено вернуться в режим профессионального, без спекулятивных информационных вбросов, диалога в режиме «тихой дипломатии».

🇷🇺🌍 Russian FM Sergey Lavrov visited Egypt, the Republic of the Congo, Uganda and Ethiopia during his African tour (July 24-27).
🇪🇬🇺🇬🇨🇬🇪🇹
💬 The role of Africa in the new Concept for Russian Foreign Policy will be given much more prominence. This would have happened regardless of the developments in the West (at a joint news conference with President of Uganda Yoweri Kaguta Museveni).
💬 The striving of the African nations to decide their own destinies and find ways of settling persisting conflicts are part of the formation of this multipolar, democratic world order (following talks with Foreign Minister of Ethiopia Demeke Mekonnen).
💬 I'm sure that the overwhelming majority of the world countries do not want to live as if the colonial times came back. Except two or three developing countries, no one else in Africa, Asia or Latin America joined the illegal American and European sanctions (during a meeting with permanent representatives of the member countries of the African Union).

🇷🇺🇺🇸📞 On July 29, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a telephone conversation with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, at the latter’s initiative.
The ministers discussed current developments in Ukraine.
❗FM Lavrov drew the Secretary of State’s attention to the fact that the continued arming of the armed forces of Ukraine and nationalist battalions with US and NATO weapons is only prolonging the agony of the Kiev regime by dragging out the conflict and increasing the number of victims. Sergey Lavrov stressed that the armed forces of Russia strictly observe the norms of international law and that Russia has engaged in consistent efforts to restore peaceful life on the territories that it is liberating.
They also exchanged views on the problems besetting bilateral relations. As for the potential prisoner swap between the countries, Sergey Lavrov strongly advised a return to professional dialogue in the context of “quiet diplomacy” without any dubious media leaks.
