📰 Secretary of the Russian Federation Security Council Nikolai Patrushev’s interview with Izvestia (May 3, 2023)
▫️ Following the breakup of the Soviet Union, Washington and London decided that this was their chance to set up a unipolar world. The Anglo-Saxons are not giving up on this idea even now.
▫️ The West believes that destroying Russia or relegating it to a third-rate country governed by an external administration, would serve to alter the international order. However, their desires overlook the strength of our state and the will of the people of Russia to remain independent.
▫️ There are many irrefutable facts showing how representatives of the Anglo-Saxon elite shared fascist ideas, provided financial and organisational support to Hitler, and now they have to save their democratic face. <...> Nevertheless, the Anglo-Saxons are eagerly reinstating neo-Nazi ideology to accomplish their modern geopolitical objectives.
▫️ The Americans do not know what war is all about in principle. The last engagements on their soil and continent ended back in 1865. Therefore, their elite feel at ease talking about the need to produce more arms, inflict a military defeat on Russia, prepare for new wars, etc.
▫️ Today’s European politics is in a profound moral and intellectual crisis. A blatant case in point is the Munich Security Conference, to which the Western politicians came simply to read to each other State Department’s guidelines.
▫️ Western secret services are training terrorists and saboteurs to commit crimes in Russia. They hope to instill fear in the population and undermine the nation’s constitutional foundations.
▫️ Americans need Ukraine only for unrestrained exploitation of its natural resources without its historical population. Now the White House is ready to continue the war with Russia until the last Ukrainian but preserving Ukraine as a state is not part of its plan.

📰 🇷🇺 Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Mikhail Galuzin in an interview with "Izvestia", May 4, 2023
💬 "We highly appreciate the desire of our major international partners to assist in the peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis. Many provisions, for example, of the Chinese plan, have something in common with our approaches to resolving the crisis and achieving the goals of a special military operation through political and diplomatic means. Among the ideas put forward are those consonant with our views, including those related to the creation of an indivisible security space, NATO's non-expansion to the East, and respect for the norms and principles of international and humanitarian law.
On this basis, one could move forward, but the problem lies not in Russia, but in the position of Kyiv and its Anglo-Saxon masters. They are publicly betting on what they call a strategic defeat for our country and a mythical victory over Russia on the battlefield." 👇

Key talking points:
• The UN-centric system is undergoing a deep crisis, the root cause of which was brought on by the decision of certain UN members to replace international law and the UN Charter with some “rules-based international order”. <...> Its masterminds haughtily reject the key principle underlying the UN Charter, which is the sovereign equality of states.
• Since World War II, Washington has pulled off dozens of reckless criminal military operations without even trying to secure multilateral legitimacy. Why bother when your “rules” are unbeknownst to everyone.
• Everyone is aware of it, even though not everyone is talking about it openly: the real issue is not about Ukraine, but rather about the future of international relations. Will they be forged on a sustainable consensus, one based on the balance of interests? Or will they be reduced to an aggressive and explosive advancement of hegemony? The Ukraine issue cannot be considered outside its geopolitical context.
• There should be no double standards. Multilateralism and democracy should enjoy respect both within the member countries and in their relations with one another.
• At this juncture, genuine multilateralism requires that the UN adapt to objective developments in the process of forming a multipolar architecture of international relations. It is imperative to expedite Security Council reform by expanding the representation of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
• It is our common duty to preserve the United Nations as the hard-won epitome of multilateralism and coordination of international politics. The key to success lies in working together, renouncing claims on exceptionalism and – I reiterate – showing respect for the sovereign equality of states. This is what we all signed up for when we ratified the UN Charter.

🦠 On May 5, Director-General of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Over the past three years, the pandemic has presented an unprecedented challenge to the entire world, shedding light on many issues and vulnerabilities. While the global crisis required the highest degree of cohesion, mutual assistance, coordination and rejection of selfish practices, some countries preferred to look for scapegoats and politicise the situation.
Pure opportunistic reasons were behind the failure, during the years of the pandemic, to address the issue of WHO registering Russian vaccines that have proven their effectiveness and saved millions of lives all over the world.
At the same time, more facts have been uncovered recently suggesting that American pharmaceutical companies and others filling the markets with their vaccines engaged in corruption.
There are reasonable questions, reinforced by growing evidence of various side effects from their use, about whether the WHO decisions to expedite their global certification had been justified.
<...>
👉 Russia is ready to provide assistance and cooperate with all countries based on the principles of solidarity, equality and respect for international law in the search for mutually acceptable solutions to achieve progress in sustainable development and expand international cooperation in the field of global health to prevent future pandemics.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry’s statement on the terrorist attack against writer Zakhar Prilepin organised by Ukrainian security services
Read in full
On May 6, Alexander Shubin, a veteran of military operations in the LPR, was killed and Russian writer, publicist and public figure Yevgeny Prilepin (Zakhar Prilepin) gravely injured as a result of a car explosion caused by an explosive device planted along its route in the Nizhny Novgorod Region.
Russian law enforcement agencies are investigating all the details of the incident. However, it is already clear from the materials received due to the prompt efforts of the Interior Ministry and the Investigative Committee that it was another terrorist attack organised and carried out by the Kiev regime backed by its Western curators.
The terrorist attack against Yevgeny Prilepin is yet another demonstration of the systematic approach to eliminating ideological opponents, which has been actively nurtured in Ukraine since 2014 through the efforts of Washington, becoming the Kiev regime’s basic reflex.
<…>
Today, a real hunt has been declared for unbiased journalists, writers, and public figures. Darya Dugina, Maxim Fomin - murdered, attempt on the life of Konstantin Malofeyev made.
❗️ The responsibility for this and other terrorist acts lies on the Ukrainian authorities together with their Western sponsors, mainly the United States, through whose efforts the anti-Russia project blended with neo-Nazism has been painstakingly nurtured in Ukraine since the coup in February 2014.
The lack of condemnation by the US authorities of another terrorist attack against a Russian journalist and public figure is telling - it speaks for itself.
The silence of relevant international organisations is unacceptable.
We express our condolences to the families and friends of the victims, and wish Yevgeny Prilepin a speedy recovery.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement on the attempted terrorist attacks against the Moscow Kremlin – the residence of the President of the Russian Federation
❗️ The Foreign Ministry firmly condemns the attempted terrorist attacks against the Moscow Kremlin on the night of May 3, when it was targeted by unmanned aerial vehicles.
There is no doubt that the Kiev regime is behind these attacks. It has a long-standing record of intentionally supporting and employing terrorist methods against civilian infrastructure and civilians, including the October 8, 2022, explosion on the Crimean Bridge, strikes against non-military targets in the Bryansk, Belgorod and Rostov regions, as well as many acts of sabotage. Now comes Moscow.
This crime is aggravated by the fact that the Moscow Kremlin serves as the residence of the Head of State. What makes the actions of the neo-Nazi Ukrainian authorities especially cynical is that they made an attempt to assassinate the President of Russia ahead of Victory Day and the May 9 Parade. <...>
☝️ Crimes like this cannot go unanswered. The Investigative Committee of Russia has opened a criminal case into actions designed to intimidate and terrorise people, inflict damage and kill people as a means of influencing the decision-making process by government agencies. We are certain that those who bear the blame for these acts will be identified. They will face imminent and inevitable punishment.
<...>
The silence on behalf of the collective West demonstrates its connivance with the terrorist methods employed by the neo-Nazi extremist regime in Kiev.
The Foreign Ministry believes that the international community and international organisations which are free from double standards and seek guidance from international law must condemn this new criminal undertaking by the Kiev regime. <...>
❗️ The Foreign Ministry reaffirms that Russia reserves the right to take countermeasures in response to these outrageous acts of terrorism.
