Select quotes:
• Hypocrisy and duplicity have become an intrinsic part of Western diplomacy.
• Figures graphically prove that the West is striving to make as much money as possible from the conflict in Ukraine. Last year, its national debt increased by $13 billion to $111 billion. Even the most advanced country with a prosperous economy and industry and rapid growth rates would not be able to pay off $111 billion. For today’s Ukraine this amount is an excuse to take everything that remains of the Zelensky rule.
• The Ukrainian authorities have once again confirmed that they fraudulently deceived the world community and were not really going to fulfil their obligations under the Minsk Package of Measures as endorsed by UN Security Council Resolution 2202.
• The Ukrainian heirs to Nazi organisations have once again demonstrated their desire to continue the cause of their “heroes,” who are knee deep in the blood of thousands of Ukrainians, Russians, Jews, Poles and people of other ethnicities.
• By imposing new unilateral restrictions that undermine the international legal prerogatives of the UN Security Council, the European Union has once again demonstrated double standards, ignored the presumption of innocence principle and presented no evidence, while hypocritically hushing up the obvious offences committed by Ukrainian militants in Donbass and in the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions of the Russian Federation.
• Despite the continuous scheming against Russian culture and our outstanding performers in some Western countries, including the cancellation of exhibitions and concerts, arbitrary declaration of world-renowned Russian artists and poets Ukrainians, passion for Russian culture in its modern and historical dimension does not subside in the world.
• The United States has once again defiantly denied visas to several members of the Russian interdepartmental delegation without any reason. Creating obstacles to the participation of our delegation in the session of the UN OEWG amounts to undermining the principle of the sovereign equality of states, which is a fundamental provision of the UN Charter.
• When we began hearing statements about Europe “needing” to abandon Russian hydrocarbons, it was clear that the United States was behind this. They didn’t make a secret of it.
• A possible military operation in Haiti planned by the United States and its allies are aimed not so much at stabilising – as declared – the security situation in Haiti as at mopping up the political landscape in the interests of certain leaders who have received a “wholesale indulgence” and a “right to power” from their western patrons.
• We are building our relations with Serbia on an age-old foundation of friendship and spiritual affinity between the peoples of the two countries and with account taken of the economic benefit. Cooperation with our Serbian partners is not directed against third countries. It strengthens security and serves the goals of development.

Talking points:
#BlackSeaInitiative
According to the statistics of the Joint Coordination Centre in Istanbul, as of March 22 of this year, more than 25 million tonnes of grain and related foodstuffs had been exported from Ukraine.
Who was the main recipient of these products? Needy countries? No, it’s not them. The biggest recipient of the goods is the European Union (41 percent of the total exports).
The Western countries and companies started with the high standards and lofty words about helping the needy and starving and have come all the way to downright stealing. This makes perfect sense for imperialists and the way they treat their colonies.
#ICC
It is clear that the ICC Prosecutor and judges obediently follow the line laid down by their Western sponsors.
This body will never investigate real crimes. We will wait in vain for an investigation into crimes committed in Iraq, where the death toll among peaceful civilians reached hundreds of thousands, and in Afghanistan, where a lot of civilians died as well.
#IOC
Unfortunately, the IOC and other international institutions where US satellites and other officials controlled by Washington have entrenched themselves have had no qualms hiding behind their would-be commitment to ensuring that the 2024 Olympics are held in peace, all while seeking to divide athletes in terms of their political loyalties.
The effort to harass Russian athletes, our teams and coaches for all these years can be lethal for the honest principles of the Olympic movement.

#Ukraine
The West says openly that they will do everything possible to facilitate a successful Ukrainian counteroffensive, supposedly due to begin in the near future. They are not hiding the fact that they are behind all these plans. They have repeatedly noted their involvement in tactical target acquisition, and now they are creating a strategic disposition.
Representatives from the “collective West” are also demanding openly that Russia sustain the maximum possible losses. So, they are reaffirming their direct involvement in the conflict once again.
#BlackSeaInitiative
Russia extended it for only 60 days, arguing that it did not consider its implementation as satisfactory. We made our position clear. We received a package of proposals from the UN Secretary-General addressed to President of Russia Vladimir Putin on the development, implementation and further progress of the Black Sea initiative.
All of this will be thoroughly analysed. The decision will be made based on the results of interdepartmental study.

☝🏻 The diplomat elaborated on the root causes of the current conflict and the problems of its settlement, the objectives of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine and the crimes of the neo-Nazi Kiev regime against civilians, as well as underscored the deliberate attempts of the Ukrainian side to sabotage the negotiation process supported by its European backers.
The event was attended by representatives of Indian socio-political, expert and journalistic circles.

#UkraineCrisis #Istanbul #Negotiations
On June 2, the second round of direct bilateral talks with Ukraine was held in Istanbul; the talks were resumed at Russia’s initiative.
As agreed on May 16, the Russian Side presented the Ukrainian delegation with a detailed two-part memorandum outlining our vision of ways to achieve long-term peace and a possible full-fledged ceasefire. Kiev took a break to consider that document’s provisions. In turn, we received a draft of the Ukrainian version, which will also be studied in detail.
Our delegation received a list of 339 Ukrainian children who have lost contact with their parents or legal representatives due to various circumstances. The Russian Side intends to thoroughly review their cases.
As we can see, Ukraine has failed to provide any proof confirming the “20'000 abducted children,” something the Kiev regime previously alleged. In fact, they insisted on this at every level. Russia is rescuing children from under the shelling of Kiev’s artillery and evacuating them from combat zones to safety when necessary. This primarily refers to orphans and minors who have been left without the care of their legal guardians. Our country is doing everything possible to have children reunite with their families. This process is making great strides.
The Russian Side will approach the implementation of all existing agreements with utmost responsibility.
#KievRegimeCrimes #terrorism
The Kiev regime and its EU Western sponsors have exerted considerable effort to derail another round of negotiations in Istanbul, thereby sabotaging the nascent peace process. They have resorted to their favoured terrorist methods.
On June 3, the Investigative Committee of Russia classified the monstrous crimes – the blowing of the bridges in the Bryansk Region (May 31, 2025) and the Kursk Region (June 1, 2025) – as acts of terrorism.
It is evident the terrorists, acting on the orders of the Kiev regime, meticulously planned their attacks to maximise civilian casualties, including children.
The reaction of the Ukrainian Nazis to these events [in Bryansk and Kursk regions] was predictably marked by open gloating. This once again underscores the misanthropic essence of the Kiev junta.
#UNGA #Baerbock
Unfortunately, this high-profile position [President of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly], is unlikely to improve her [Baerbock's] reputation. Many remember her previous remarks about the need to change position “by 360 degrees” and references to “hundreds of thousands of kilometres” supposedly separating countries, along with numerous other questionable assertions.
Regrettably, all of this has occurred during the UN’s anniversary year, commemorating the Victory over Nazism. We vividly recall how Baerbock praised her grandfather, who was associated with the Third Reich.
