#OTD 545 years ago, on August 29, 1479, the Assumption (Dormition) Cathedral in Moscow was consecrated, a place of crucial importance for Russian identity.
The origins of the Cathedral are closely connected with the rise of Moscow Principality of Russia.
In 1326, the leading Russian church prelate, Metropolitan Peter of Vladimir, made the Moscow Kremlin his de facto residence. Currently, Great Prince Ivan Kalita launched the construction of the cathedral dedicated to the Feast of the Dormition, which symbolized the continuity with the great Dormition Cathedral in the town of Vladimir. The latter started to lose its political significance.
โ๏ธ The present-day cathedral was constructed in 1479 by decree of Great Prince of Russia Ivan III, who consolidated all Russian principalities under the power of Moscow. A renowned architect Aristotele Fioravanti of Bologna was invited to Russia to design and to build it.
๐ท๐บ For 6 centuries, the cathedral has been the national and religious centre of Russia. It is known as the place of coronation of Russian rulers (even after the capital was moved to St. Petersburg), including the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II, as well as the investiture of leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Forwarded from Russian MFA ๐ท๐บ
๐ Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharovaโs answer to a question from Rossiya Segodnya regarding peace initiatives on Ukraine
โ Question: Are Russiaโs peace proposals on Ukraine still in force now? How would Russia see a proposal to have talks on Ukraine if they are initiated by Minsk?
๐ฌ Maria Zakharova: Russia has always wanted to put an end to the Ukraine conflict as soon as possible and favoured the start of negotiations. We suggested on many occasions finding solution to the current situation by political and diplomatic methods, including this past June, when President Vladimir Putin came forward with a peace initiative. It boiled down to:
โข Withdrawal of Ukrainian armed units from new Russian regions, Donetsk Peopleโs Republic, Lugansk Peopleโs Republic, Zaporozhye and Kherson Regions,
โข Kievโs refusal from NATO membership,
โข Cancellation of all Western sanctions against Russia,
โข Ensuring the rights of Ukraineโs Russian-speaking citizens.
That said, it was about putting an end to the conflict, rather than about freezing it in order to rearm the Kiev regime. No doubt the initiative put forward by the President of Russia will remain a universal and long-term recipe for resolving the Ukraine conflict because it contains a way of eliminating its root causes.
โ๏ธ However, the recent events have shown that the Ukraine crisis is far detached from peace talks. As you know, in August, the Zelensky regime ventured a treacherous terrorist invasion of the Kursk Region. It was a kind of response from Ukrainian Banderites to Vladimir Putinโs peace initiative. Kiev did not conceal that by such a risky step they intended to improve their positions in the hypothetical negotiations with Russia. It is clear that when such heinous atrocities are taking place, in particular, indiscriminate attacks against civilians who have nothing to do with hostilities, against civilian infrastructure, and when threats to nuclear power facilities are created, any peace talks with the terrorist regime in Kiev are out of the question, regardless of their initiator.
Meanwhile, we would like to emphasise that we are grateful to our Belarusian allies for the peace-making efforts they made many times, specifically, provided a negotiation platform, including in 2015, when working out a Minsk package of measures, and in the spring of 2022, when holding first rounds of the Russian-Ukrainian talks.

In a significant step towards addressing global climate challenges, #BRICS countries have recently signed two crucial documents on climate cooperation. The first is a framework for climate and sustainable development, which outlines key areas for their joint efforts.
The second document signed by BRICS nations is a Memorandum of Understanding on carbon market partnerships.
