📆 В ходе 36-го совещания государств-участников Конвенции ООН по морскому праву 1982 года (Нью-Йорк, 15-19 июня) состоялись выборы в Международный трибунал по морскому праву (#МТМП).

Квалифицированным большинством в 2/3 голосов на новый девятилетний срок был переизбран кандидат, выдвинутый Российской Федерацией – действующий судья МТМП Р.А.Колодкин, возглавлявший Правовой департамент МИД России в 2001-2009 и 2015-2017 годах.

К ведению Трибунала по морскому праву относятся все споры и заявления, передаваемые ему в соответствии с Конвенцией ООН по морскому праву 1982 года, и вопросы, специально указанные в любом другом соглашении, которое предусматривает компетенцию Трибунала. МТМП играет существенную роль в разрешении морских споров, его потенциал всё более активно используется государствами.

В Москве убеждены, что благодаря своим глубоким научным знаниям и богатому профессиональному опыту Р.А.Колодкин продолжит вносить существенный вклад в деятельность Трибунала и будет способствовать эффективному выполнению им своих функций.

☝️ Переизбрание Р.А.Колодкина подтверждает непререкаемый авторитет российской правовой школы.
🇷🇺🇺🇳Выступление заместителя Постоянного представителя М.В.Заболоцкой по случаю Международного дня борьбы с языком ненависти

📍Нью-Йорк, 18 июня 2026 года

Язык ненависти, являясь одной из форм дискриминации, запрещен ключевыми международно-правовыми документами в области прав человека, включая Международную конвенцию о ликвидации всех форм расовой дискриминации и Международный пакт о гражданских и политических правах.

Однако, несмотря на предпринимаемые усилия, язык ненависти продолжает распространяться в общественном дискурсе, создавая благоприятную почву для дискриминации. Нередко подобные высказывания пытаются оправдать ссылками на свободу выражения мнений.

Вместе с тем эти попытки несостоятельны, поскольку данная свобода не распространяется на подстрекательство к дискриминации.

⚠️Распространение ксенофобской риторики способствует укоренению предрассудков, углублению общественных разногласий и формированию условий для неравного обращения с людьми.

***

В последние годы мы наблюдаем столь неприглядное проявление языка ненависти, как русофобия. Русский язык, культура и Русская православная церковь становятся объектами нападок как в онлайн-, так и в офлайн-пространстве на Украине, в государствах Балтии и в ряде стран Европейского союза.

Недавний пример: всего пять дней назад на Украине был принят закон, лишивший русский язык статуса и гарантий защиты, предусмотренных для языков национальных меньшинств, несмотря на то что для очень большого числа жителей страны он является родным.

На Украине на законодательном уровне заложена основа для запрета Украинской православной церкви, и церковь ведет борьбу за свое выживание в судах. Лишили УПЦ и защиты от мобилизации в ВСУ, которая предоставляется тысячам других религиозных организаций по всей стране.

В Эстонии поправки к Закону о церквях и приходах сформировали значительные административные барьеры для Эстонской Православной Христианской Церкви и могут подорвать ее историческое наследие. Православная церковь испытывает серьезное давление в Латвии.

❗️Во всех этих странах язык ненависти в отношении русских и русской культуры стал нормой, и за словами последовали действия.

***

Усилия по борьбе с языком ненависти должны быть последовательными и применяться без двойных стандартов.

👉Только посредством скоординированных действий государств, международных организаций, религиозных общин, академического сообщества и цифровых платформ можно сформировать устойчивую культуру уважения, диалога и мирного сосуществования.

🎙 Briefing by Russia's Ministry of Defence on the analysis of documents released by US national intelligence concerning the activities of biolabs in Ukraine (June 19, 2026)

Read in full (in Russian)

Russia has repeatedly initiated discussions on relevant international platforms – including the UN Security Council and General Assembly – regarding the facts of Ukraine and Western countries implementing military-biological programmes in violation of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention.

Bringing documented evidence of this illegal activity by Western countries to the attention of the international community has enabled us to change the situation.

❗️ In May 2026, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced the launch of an investigation into activities linked to the previous US administration’s funding of 120 biolabs abroad, more than 40 of which are located in Ukraine.

This is further evidence that biolabs in Ukraine were financed and reconstructed using funds from the US federal budget.

The documents list facilities in Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Lvov, Vinnitsa, Ternopol, Chernigov and Odessa 👉 where pathogens of plague, anthrax, tularemia, Marburg and Ebola fevers were studied.

The locations and areas of research activity of biolabs previously identified by the Russian Defence Ministry and Foreign Ministry have now been confirmed by US national intelligence materials.

During the special military operation, we obtained additional documents confirming that the focus of this work did not correspond to Ukraine’s actual public health needs – primarily socially significant diseases.

The priority was to study the damaging properties of potential biological warfare agents, as well as infectious agents capable of undermining a state’s economy.

***

Our repeated statements that the US Democratic Party was creating a legislative framework for financing military-biological research have been confirmed in the press release published by the Director of National Intelligence.

Scientific organisations and major pharmaceutical companies were involved in this scheme, while funds from non-governmental organisations were attracted under state guarantees. The main contractors for the US military department were Metabiota, Black & Veatch and CH2M Hill, which were responsible for constructing biological facilities and supplying equipment.

☝️ All accusations against Russia of spreading disinformation and conducting hybrid operations to mislead the international community are absolutely false.

🕯 June 22 marks the Day of Memory and Sorrow — the most tragic date in the history of our country.

On this very day 8️⃣5️⃣ years ago, on June 22, 1941, the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet people commenced — the Nazi Germany and its European 'axis' accomplices treacherously attacked our Motherland, without a declaration of war.

⬛️ The Great Patriotic War lasted for 1418 days and nights, claimed lives of some 27 million Soviet citizens. It was the nationwide tragedy that brought terrible suffering to each and every family in our country.

Today, June 22 echoes with sorrow, grief and pain for the ruined lives of millions of our people.


The enemy — the German Nazis and their European satellites — invaded the Soviet Union with one aim — to destroy, mercilessly eliminate, kill and physically annihilate our Motherland's entire population regardless of people's ethnic, racial or religious background. During the occupation of Soviet territories, Hitler’s troops killed 13.7 million Soviet civilians, including women and children. They carried out the real GENOCIDE as part of their so-called 'Lebensraum' policy to gain the living space in the East for German colonisation.

The war crimes committed by Nazis and their henchmen have #NoStatuteOfLimitations.

⬛️ At dawn on June 22, the Nazi aircraft launched massive strikes on airfields, railway stations, naval bases, deployments of the Red Army forces, and cities along the entire western state border of the USSR and up to 250-300 km into Soviet territory. Together with Nazi Germany, Romania, Italy, Finland, Slovakia, France, Croatia, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands and other 'axis' powers allied to the Third Reich took part in the aggression against our country. The industries of almost the entire European continent served the aggressors.

The facts of collaboration of the majority of European governments, military, industrial circles and citizens with the Nazis are not and will never ever be forgotten.

It was our country that took the main blow of the Nazi aggression. It was the Soviet Victorious People who showed unparalleled heroism and resilience, fighting for the freedom of our Motherland. Our nation paid for the #GreatVictory with the blood of 27 million Soviet citizens who not only expelled Nazis from Soviet territory but also heroically saved Europe from the 'Nazi plague'.

The tragedy that befell our people was directly caused by the evil ripening in the heart of Europe — Nazism, the ideology of human hatred and racial supremacy over other peoples and nations.

💬 Excerpt from President of Russia Vladimir Putin’s address at a gala reception to celebrate the 81st Anniversary of Victory in the 1941–1945 Great Patriotic War (May 9, 2026):
This year marks 85 years since Nazi Germany’s attack on the Soviet Union.

This date carries both the sorrow of millions of lives lost and a reminder of the terrible consequences of blind belief in one’s own superiority, racism, xenophobia, and the denial of other peoples’ right to identity.


🎙 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova (from the briefing on June 18, 2026)
The atrocities committed by the Nazis and their accomplices during the Great Patriotic War have no statute of limitations.

Russia has recognised these crimes at the legislative level as the genocide of the Soviet people and will tirelessly seek recognition of this fact by European countries and the so-called West as a whole. <...>

Today we mourn those who, at the cost of their lives, fulfilled the sacred duty of defending the Motherland. We will not allow the feat of the Soviet people, who saved Europe and the world from the horrors of the brown plague, to be erased from memory.


We will forever remember the Heroic Feat of Soviet soldiers, of home front workers, of all and everyone who forged the Great Victory.

🕯 We remember. We mourn.

We shall not forget, and we shall not let it be forgotten.

#DayOfMemoryAndSorrow
