🇷🇺 🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov's #answer to a media question
❓: Dear Ambassador, how could you comment on the accusations of the US administration representatives against #Russia about its alleged violation of #CWC and #BTWC?
💬 Anatoly #Antonov: Such nervous statements by the US authorities indicate the serious concern of the The White House about the revelation of the truth about the ongoing work on the military biological program near the borders of the Russian Federation funded by the #USA.
🔹 The US administration justifies illegal and dangerous activities with standard tactics by accusing Russia of all sins. It uses groundless and tired old arguments. As we say in Russia: "a guilty conscience needs no accuser".
🔹 We call on the United States to immediately wrap up illegal work in the field of military biology, including on the territory of the post-Soviet space. As well as to stop blocking the efforts of the international community to strengthen the BTWC regime and not to prevent the resumption of work on a legally binding Protocol to the Convention with an effective verification mechanism.
🔹 Moreover, it is time for #Washington to accelerate the destruction of national chemical weapons stockpiles. I would like to remind that the United States is still the only state party to CWC, which has not yet fulfilled its international obligations.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸 #Комментарий Посольства
🔹 Как сообщил телеканал Fox Business, чиновники Белого дома принялись подключать популярных блогеров к пропагандисткой кампании по возложению вины за топливный кризис в #США на российское руководство.
🔹 Данная новость подтверждает стремление Вашингтона зарабатывать политические очки за счет русофобии. Трезво мыслящим людям понятно, что образ внешнего врага в лице нашей страны нужен правящим кругам для оправдания собственных провалов в решении внутриамериканских проблем.
🔹 Здесь предпочитают закрывать глаза на то, что истинная причина кризиса и рекордной инфляции в США - необеспеченные триллионные финвливания в экономику, а также санкционные войны против неугодных государств.
🔹 #Россия – надежный поставщик энергоресурсов, доказавший это десятилетиями взаимовыгодного партнерства со всеми государствами мира.
🔹 Не мы отказались от поставок топлива в США. Администрация, игнорируя потребности простых граждан, сама прекратила покупать у нас #углеводороды.
🔹 Политизация Соединенными Штатами экономических проблем продемонстрировала свою ущербность, что оборачивается сильнейшим и болезненным ударом по благосостоянию рядовых американцев. В результате такой политики двусторонние отношения между Россией и Америкой продолжают ухудшаться. Это наносит серьезный урон связям наших народов.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸 The Embassy’s #Comment
🔹 According to the Fox Business channel, The White House officials have begun to involve popular #bloggers in a propaganda campaign aimed at pinning the blame for the #fuel crisis in the United States on the Russian leadership.
🔹 This news confirms #Washington's desire to earn political points on #Russophobia. It is clear to reasonable people that the external enemy image of Russia is needed for the US leadership to justify its own failures in addressing domestic problems.
🔹 Here they prefer to ignore the fact that the true cause of the crisis and the record inflation in the United States is unsecured trillion-dollar financial injections into the #economy and #sanctions wars against undesirable states.
🔹 #Russia is a reliable supplier of #energy resources. This fact has been proven through decades of mutually beneficial partnership with all countries of the world.
🔹 Our country did not refuse to supply fuel to the #USA. It was the US administration that ceased purchasing hydrocarbons from Russia, ignoring the needs of ordinary American citizens.
🔹 The politicization of economic problems by the United States has demonstrated its lameness, which is delivering a strong and painful blow to the welfare of ordinary Americans. Such a policy results in further deterioration of bilateral relations between Russia and the USA and causes a serious damage to the ties between our peoples.

🇷🇺 🇺🇸 Ambassador Anatoly Antonov's #answer to a media question
❓: Dear Ambassador, what do you think of the continuing arms supplies to #Ukraine by the United States and its allies?
💬 Anatoly #Antonov: Pumping the #Kiev regime with weapons and sending foreign mercenaries to the Ukrainian territory is irresponsible and extremely dangerous. The militarization of Ukraine poses a direct threat to the European and global security.
🔷 The transfer of lethal weapons takes place through the arbitrary interpretation of national export control legislations by the authorities of Western countries. Licenses are often approved in a "simplified" mode. As a result, a significant part of weapons falls into the hands of bandits, Nazis, terrorists and criminals.
🔷 Do Western countries not realize that militants who have come from all over the world to #Europe can afterwards apply the combat experience gained in Ukraine anywhere, including back at home? Do they not understand the risks of the spread of missile weapons transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukrane across the European Union and neighboring regions as well as their use against civil aviation?
🔷 US politicians who make decisions regarding the uncontrolled supply of Stingers and other combat systems to Kiev should abandon their illusions and complacency.
🔷 NATO member states have apparently forgotten how the United States were fishing the #MANPADS handed over to the #Afghan mujahideens in the 1980s throughout the entire Middle and Near East. And now, in the pursuit of financial gain, companies of the military-industrial complex have completely lost their moral guidelines and are willing to earn blood money.
🔷 We call on sponsors of the Kiev regime to stop encouraging bloodshed in Ukraine and give a serious consideration to the consequences of their activities.

The #USA is not an isolated "island of prosperity". There is no guarantee that the weapons would not fall into the hands of extremists on its territory. 🔷 NATO member states have apparently forgotten how the United States were fishing the #MANPADS handed over to the #Afghan mujahideens in the 1980s throughout the entire Middle and Near East.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 #Comment by the Russian Embassy in the #USA
🔹 We paid attention to the new anti-Russian statements by representatives of the US administration regarding the special operation in #Ukraine. Our country is accused of organizing a system of "filtration facilities" in the "occupied territories" for Ukrainians who are allegedly tortured and then deported to isolated regions of #Russia.
🔹 Washington's attempt to vilify the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is apparently connected with dissatisfaction with the success of a special military operation. The desire to raise the degree of #Russophobia in order to attract global attention to the events in Ukraine and to mobilize additional resources to support the Kiev regime is also obvious.
❗️ The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, public organizations and ordinary Russians provide comprehensive assistance to residents of the liberated territories. Humanitarian supplies are carried out regularly. More than 43 thousand tons of basic necessities, food and medicines have already been transferred to the population of the People's Republics of Donbass, as well as Kharkiv, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions. Humanitarian corridors are functioning, through which civilians can freely move in any direction. Ukrainians obtain Russian citizenship voluntarily. Statements about the forcible confiscation of Ukrainian passports are poor quality Western disinformation.

Based on data from international and national sources the document summarizes the factual information on new manifestations in focal countries. Selected national overviews of note:
Ukraine
USA
Canada
Estonia

In a number of states, state policies and media campaigns have increased the level of historical revisionism aimed at distorting and rewriting history, falsifying the USSR's key role in securing the Victory over Nazism. The importance of this historic event for all mankind can hardly be overestimated.

Key topics:
#AlQaeda
📌 Let us think back to the bloody events in the Caucasus in the late 1990s – early 2000s. What was it all about? Everyone was condemning Al-Qaeda, but when Al-Qaeda started fighting us in the Caucasus, that was all forgotten. If there is anything they can use in their fight against Russia, they use it to its fullest, just like they used Al-Qaeda.
📌 Today, they are using neo-Nazis in Ukraine. They forgot that they are dealing with neo-Nazis; no one remembers that or utters a word about it. They have put a well-known person at the helm who is covering for this neo-Nazi cabal, with no end in sight. Nobody hears anything.
#NATO
👉 NATO is becoming involved in the war in Ukraine. What are we talking about? There are deliveries of military hardware, heavy equipment. Now they are considering supplies of aircraft as well.
🔥 Several tanks, including the Leopards, burned yesterday too. They are burning. The F-16s will be burning too, no doubt about it.
❗️But if they are located at air bases outside Ukraine and are used in hostilities, we will have to think about how and where we can hit the resources that are used against us in the hostilities. There is a serious danger of NATO’s further involvement in this armed conflict.
#USA
📌 As far as Mr #Trump is concerned, a host of sanctions and restrictions on Russia were introduced during his presidency. Note that there were no grievous, tragic events in Ukraine, not even a hint of them, yet sanctions were imposed.
☝️But I do not rule out that with a different administration [in the United States], we could have achieved a peaceful settlement plan, which Ukraine and western capitals rejected unfortunately. And they announced this publicly.
🇷🇺 🇺🇸 As for contacts, there are practically none. But we have never declined. If there is any desire to maintain a dialogue with us – welcome, it is not us who refuse to carry on a dialogue with them, they just shifted the focus of this dialogue to arms supplies. We will burn everything they have supplied and see what they will do next.
📌 It would have been better for them to choose another path and seek peaceful means of resolving the dispute, but it has not come to that yet. We see that they are trying to win a victory on the battlefield. Good luck. We will see the result. It did not work so far and is unlikely to.
‼️ President #Biden is an adult person and an experienced politician. It is not my place to teach him. Let him do what he thinks necessary, and we will do what we think is in the interests of the Russian Federation and the people of Russia. And everybody will have to take this into account.
#NuclearWeapons
❗️I reject this. It is certainly theoretically possible to use nuclear weapons this way. For Russia, it is possible if there is a threat to our territorial integrity, independence and sovereignty, an existential threat to the Russian state. Nuclear weapons are created to ensure our security, in the broadest sense of the word, and the existence of the Russian state.
☢️ We have more such nuclear weapons than NATO countries. They know about it and never stop trying to persuade us to start nuclear reduction talks. Like hell we will, right? A popular phrase.
🇷🇺🇧🇾 The first nuclear warheads have been delivered to Belarus, but only the first batch. This is an element of deterrence.
☝️ I would like to remind everyone that the only country in the world that has used nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear state is the United States, which has delivered two strikes at cities in Japan: Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
