In total, 17,000 persons from 130 countries took part in the forum, with the most numerous delegations coming from:
🇦🇪 the UAE;
🇨🇳 China;
🇮🇳 India;
🇲🇲 Myanmar;
🇰🇿 Kazakhstan;
🇨🇺 Cuba;
🇺🇸 the USA.

🎥 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with RT TV Channel on the sidelines of the 26th St Petersburg International Economic Forum (St Petersburg, June 16, 2023)
Key talking points:
🔹 We can no longer rely on the promises and the agreements signed with the West which were presented as a foundation for developing constructive partnership. <...> The West has “lost” Russia at this point of history.
🔹 The dominant trend today is the awareness of the need to regionalise the development processes. This includes the #SCO and, in a wider sense, the Greater Eurasian Partnership, which President Vladimir Putin mentioned at the #RussiaASEAN Summit a few years ago.
🔹 The Anglo-Saxons and their ilk are bringing pressure to bear across the board, including on our closest #CSTO allies. The Gulf Arab countries are not an exception. I would say that the Western methods are boorish. I cannot think of another word.
🔹 Our relations with the Africans and our other partners are not based on money. What we are trying to do is identify projects that meet the interests of both sides.
🔹 #BRICS will expand, with the countries representing major Arab, or Islamic civilisation in a broader sense, joining it. This will strengthen the multipolar principles that we are discussing now and that are objectively taking shape.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement on the current political situation in the country
💬 The attempted armed mutiny in our country is resolutely rejected by Russian society, which strongly supports President of Russia Vladimir Putin. Reckless aspirations of the conspirators are essentially aimed at destabilising the situation in Russia, destroying our unity, and undermining the efforts of the Russian Federation to reliably ensure international security. Therefore, the mutiny plays into the hands of Russia's external enemies.
We warn Western countries against undertaking even the slightest attempts to use the domestic Russian situation to achieve their Russophobic goals. Such attempts would be futile and will find no resonance either in Russia or among reasonable political forces abroad. We firmly believe that in the near future the situation will find a solution worthy of the age-old wisdom of the Russian people and the Russian State.
All the goals and objectives of the special military operation will be achieved.
☝️ Our country will continue on its sovereign course to ensure its security, defend its values, strengthen its authority in the international arena, and establish a just multipolar world order.
We highly value the understanding of this principled position by our allies and foreign partners, which we are fully aware of already now.

An untruthful “documentary” by the BBC
⠀
🎥A new "documentary" cycle by the British BBC under the flashy title “Putin vs the West” is an extremely telltale example of media manipulation. Vividly and fully, it reveals the tools and the methods used by Western (British, as its epitome) propaganda, weaponised in the fight for the minds and hearts of the people on our planet. Based on a seemingly evidence-based and plausible sequence of events and accompanied by high-quality videos and quotes from Western “authorities,” they proceed to create a distorted semantic series which is literally turned upside down.
⠀
◽️The people behind this undeniably fascinating feature television series were clear about the task at hand. It was to fend off, to the best of their ability (and imagination), Russia’s arguments, which most countries consider fair, that the West has for decades been following a path of deepening confrontation with our country.
⠀
◽️After all, our opponents ignored Russia’s proposals to implement the principle of indivisible security in Europe and to build a common economic and humanitarian space from the Atlantic to the Urals. Despite Russia’s objections, they stubbornly continued to expand NATO and to systematically move NATO’s defence potential to our borders.
⠀
♦️As a result, what we are left with is, once again, a pile of disparate and tired anti-Russian lampoons rather than an attempt to analyse the root causes of the security crisis in Europe, the origins of which go back to the late 1990s-early 2000s. Let's put it bluntly, they didn’t manage to objectively cover the aggravation of Russia's relations with the West, which is what the filmmakers themselves had declared as their task.

⚡️President Vladimir Putin's address to citizens of Russia (June 26, 2023)
💬 Today, I am addressing the citizens of Russia once again. Thank you for your restraint, cohesion and patriotism. This civic solidarity shows that any blackmail, any attempt to stage domestic turmoil is doomed to fail.
Excerpts
• Society and the executive and legislative branches of government at all levels displayed high consolidation. Public organisations, religious denominations, the leading political parties and actually all of Russian society held a firm line, taking an explicit position of supporting constitutional order. The main thing – responsibility for the destiny of the Fatherland – has united everyone, brought our people together
• It was exactly this outcome, fratricide, that the enemies of Russia – the neo-Nazis in Kiev, their Western patrons and other national traitors – wanted to see. They wanted Russian soldiers to kill each other; they wanted the military and civilians to die; they wanted Russia to lose eventually, and our society to break up and perish in a bloody feud.

🌾 As the Black Sea initiative to export Ukrainian food (which no longer covers the export of Russian ammonia) approaches its expiry date, UN officials led by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres have again made a series of public statements.
<...>
The reality, however, remains the same: out of the package of agreements proposed by the UN Secretary General and signed a year ago in Istanbul, the Black Sea initiative is the only one being implemented. At the same time, grain is mainly sent to high- and upper-middle-income countries, including the EU, which is far from the declared humanitarian goals. The poorest countries have essentially received nothing. Apart from sea traffic, Brussels also exports food from Ukraine via land security corridors, flooding markets of Eastern European countries with cheap products along the way.
❗️ Nothing has been done concerning the Russia-UN Memorandum. Westerners are feeling no qualms about openly asserting that they are continuing and tightening illegal unilateral sanctions against Russia, regardless of their destructive impact on food and fertilizer supplies on world markets, including in the global South. Three of the five fundamental tasks stipulated by the Memorandum – connecting Rosselkhozbank to SWIFT, supplying spare parts, and reactivating the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline – have already been effectively removed from the agenda. No progress has been made on the other two goals: to normalise transport logistics and insurance and unblock bank assets.
<...>
👉 It seems even more inappropriate that the UN Secretary General expressed disappointment regarding the decline in Ukrainian food exports under the Black Sea initiative. It is noteworthy, however, that the undermining of the ammonia pipeline on June 5, the reopening of which was provided for by both Istanbul agreements and a separate proposal by Antonio Guterres, has not received a response.

✍️ President Vladimir Putin congratulated the Muslims of Russia on Eid al-Adha holiday
The message reads, in part:
💬 This holiday, marking the end of the pilgrimage to the great sacred Muslim sites, holds deep moral and spiritual significance.
Since the dawn of time, this day has been commemorated by practicing good deeds and caring about one’s neighbours. It serves to reinforce the ideals of kindness, charity and justice in society.
The Russian Muslim community plays a major creative role in the country’s life and contributes to strengthening inter-ethnic and inter-faith peace, to preserving family values and raising the younger generation.
Today, Muslim fighters, relying on the historical, spiritual and patriotic traditions of their ancestors, are demonstrating selflessness, courage and bravery in the course of the special military operation, defending Russia shoulder to shoulder with their fellow soldiers.

بيان مجلس دوما الجمعية الاتحادية لروسيا الاتحادية بشأن إهانة مشاعر المسلمين في السويد
29 يونيو / حزيران عام 2023
يعرب نواب مجلس دوما الجمعية الاتحادية لروسيا الاتحادية، جنبا إلى جنب مع المسلمين في جميع أنحاء العالم، عن الاستياء من قرار السلطات السويدية، منح إذناً للقيام بعمل احتجاجي عند المسجد الرئيسي في ستوكهولم في 28 يونيو 2023، في أول يوم من أيام عيد الأضحى، والذي جرى خلاله إحراق نسخة من القرآن الكريم، كتاب المسلمين المقدس.
منحت السلطات السويدية الإذن، مع أنها تفهم مسبقا بأنه سيتم ارتكاب جريمة تهدف إلى إهانة مشاعر الملايين من المؤمنين في جميع أنحاء العالم، وإثارة الكراهية العرقية والخصومة. إن هذه الأعمال تدمر أساس السلم والأمن، والعلاقات الودية بين الشعوب والبلدان، وتخلق الممهدات لمظاهر التطرف، وتنتهك بفظاظة أهداف ومبادئ ميثاق منظمة الأمم المتحدة.
يشجب نواب مجلس الدوما بشدة العمل التخريبي الجديد الذي صادقت عليه السلطات السويدية، ويدعونها إلى اتخاذ التدابير لمنع انتهاكات حقوق المسلمين ومشاعرهم الدينية. وأعمال تدنيس المقدسات التي لا علاقة لها بحرية التعبير ولا بالدين، ولا بمبادئ الديمقراطية.
ويعرب نواب مجلس الدوما عن دعمهم لحقوق المؤمنين ويعتقدون أن إحدى علامات المجتمع المتحضر هي احترام الكتب المقدسة للأديان الرائدة في العالم، والتي تمثل قيمة روحية وتعد جزءا لا يتجزأ من التراث الثقافي والتاريخي للديانات ذات الصلة.

💬 We appreciate your visit as part of the Gulf Cooperation Council. This is a convenient format, especially in these troubled times. I believe that it is important that we discuss a large number of issues because due to the activity of some of our colleagues, many priority issues have gone by the wayside.
We respect Kuwait’s weighed and responsible approach towards the attempts to present the situation as a global catastrophe in comparison to which no other issue matters. I believe that this is unfair to the decades-old issues of the Middle East and North Africa (the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as well as the issues of Iraq, Libya and Syria).
During the meeting, we will also be able to discuss bilateral issues. I am happy to see that there is progress. It is necessary to pay special attention to economic and trade ties between our countries.
