Forwarded from Embassy of Russia in Singapore
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio #Kishida recently made several hostile, anti-Russia comments, including his biased statements on nuclear weapons. They were close to what he had said at the 19th #IISS #Shangri-LaDialogue in Singapore in June:
· “Amid the crisis in Ukraine, the use of #nuclearweapons by #Russia is being discussed as a real possibility.
· “The ramifications of Russia's threat to use nuclear weapons are not limited to the threat itself. The threat may have already caused serious damage to the nuclear nonproliferation regime”.
Here is quote from the comment of the Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Ms. #MariaZakharova on the topic:
“The direction and tone are bewildering. For example, he justifies the choice of Hiroshima as a G7 summit venue by noting that the city has no more suitable alternative at a time when the use of nuclear weapons by Russia and the threat to use them is becoming a reality in conditions of a destabilised international order.
This is a shockingly cynical attempt to blend unjustified criticism of Russia with the context of the Hiroshima tragedy. It would be logical to assume that, against the backdrop of an approaching anniversary of tragic events when nuclear weapons were used against Japan, Tokyo would emphatically denounce the country that had launched criminal nuclear strikes against Japanese cities in August 1945. Contrary to the servile pro-US rhetoric of the Japanese authorities who have done a lot to erode the historical memory of their own nation, the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki cannot help but recall that Washington had issued that barbaric order.
Attempts to distort, for propaganda purposes, the logic of deterrence on which official Russian commentaries on the subject of nuclear weapons hinge and to portray Russia as a country threatening to use nuclear weapons are absolutely unacceptable. We specially reject this, especially since the United States, Japan’s patron, commonly exposes the world to the main nuclear risks today. In turn, Japanese representatives make their provocative comments from under a US nuclear umbrella. By provoking an aggravation of the Ukrainian crisis and unleashing an intensive hybrid standoff with Russia, Washington and its allies are balancing dangerously on the brink of an open military confrontation with Russia and therefore on the brink of a direct armed conflict between nuclear powers. Obviously, this clash would be fraught with the possibility of nuclear escalation.
However, the Japanese establishment prefers not to notice this destabilising line of its American suzerain.
Regarding Tokyo’s deliberate line to note reduced nuclear risks and to move towards a nuclear-free world, it leaves a feeling of insincerity. This line directly contradicts episodic reports regarding insistent Japanese calls that the United States beef up its nuclear potential in the Asia-Pacific region. For example, this was clear from Tokyo’s tough criticism of the Obama administration for its decision to renounce submarine launched cruise missiles (SLCMs). Japan actively praised the Trump administration’s programme to build up low-yield nuclear weapons, including renewed nuclear-tipped SLCMs. One cannot help but note a discussion, initiated by influential persons, on the advisability of deploying US nuclear weapons in Japan and conducting joint nuclear missions similar to those stipulated by NATO in circumvention of the requirements of the 1968 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. At the same time, the US-Japanese agreement making it possible to return US nuclear weapons to Okinawa remains in force.
In this context, we have reason to suspect that this implies Tokyo’s striving to use similar statements on the subject of nuclear weapons to downplay the historical role of Japanese militarism in the context of World War II and for justifying its purposeful deviation from the policy of self-imposed military restrictions.”

Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ statement on the situation in Ukraine
Question: What can you tell us about UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres saying on July 14 that he was shocked by a rocket fired into the city of Vinnitsa, central Ukraine?
Maria Zakharova: Indeed, this statement by Antonio Guterres has come to our attention. Here’s what I would like to say.
What we are seeing now is something that goes back in time. Contrary to the requirements in the UN Charter, the Secretariat is not taking an equidistant position, as one would expect from a Secretariat of the most authoritative international organisation that is designed, among other things, to promote the settlement of disputes.
Now with regard to this particular case. According to the Russian Defence Ministry, high-precision Kalibr missiles were used in Vinnitsa targeting a garrison house of officers which at that moment was housing a meeting of the Ukrainian Air Force command with representatives of foreign arms suppliers. The UN is probably aware of that. If not, then we suggest that Mr Guterres ask Ukraine why the Kiev regime is placing military facilities in close proximity to civilian buildings.
At the same time, for some reason, like many other UN representatives, the Secretary-General does not see the Armed Forces of Ukraine fire direct missile strikes against civilian targets and residential urban areas. I will give examples. Regarding the shelling of Kursk and Belgorod on July 3, as well as the shelling of Novaya Kakhovka on July 12, when warehouses with saltpeter exploded and residential buildings, a church and other buildings were damaged, the force of the detonation was similar to the explosion in the port of Beirut, and according to the regional Interior Ministry, approximately 190 people asked for medical help. Neither Mr Guterres, nor his official representative, nor anyone else from the UN Secretariat condemned the attack on civilians and civilian infrastructure as in the case of Vinnitsa. In response to a specific request to comment on the incident in Novaya Kakhovka, Deputy Spokesman for the Secretary General, Farhan Haq, said there were no comments on that matter. On earlier occasions, the UN has repeatedly ignored reports of civilian deaths, including children, caused by Ukrainian troop fire. Also, UN Secretary-General Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric had no information about Ukraine using civilians as a human shield (March 3 briefing https://www.un.org/press/en/2022/db220303.doc.htm).
I would like to remind our esteemed colleagues from the UN Secretariat that their job is not to take sides in disputable situations, but to help maintain peace and stability. This is what they are paid for and this is their mandate.

⚡ Mass media of Russia about situation in Ukraine (17.07.2022)
1. 📃 Statements by officials of the Russian Federation, leaders of friendly countries
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that the investigation initiated by the Romanian Prosecutor General’s Office about «crimes» against Romanian citizens in Ukraine during the special military operation is dictated solely by political considerations as part of the fulfillment of allied obligations to the West. (https://tass.ru)
2. ⛔️ Crimes of Ukrainian Nazis and the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation initiated a criminal case under the article «cruel treatment of the civilian population, the use of prohibited means and methods in an armed conflict» against a Ukrainian officer who gave orders to shell civilian objects in the village of Svetlichnoye of the LPR.
The shelling led to the death of 4 people, the destruction of residential buildings and infrastructure. The preliminary investigation of the criminal case is ongoing (https://sledcom.ru)
3. Exposure of disinformation
❌️Fake: The Russian Armed Forces attacked a maternity hospital and a medical center in Vinnitsa.
✅️In fact: The blow was struck at the House of Officers, which, under martial law, was used as a temporary manpower location. The building housed the barracks of the fighters of the Ukrainian Army and the command of the Air Force. Foreign mercenaries were also trained there.
The damage to the medical center, which the Ukrainian side positions as one of the targets of the attack, was caused as a result of the spread of the blast wave and the scattering of fragments

⚠️ Despite the threat of a food crisis and disregarding the well-being of their own people, the Kiev authorities are carrying out further provocations at agricultural facilities to accuse the Russian military of allegedly indiscriminate strikes against civilian targets and threatening Ukraine's food security:
🔹in Kalinovka, Bakhmut district of Donetsk People's Republic, neo-Nazis have deployed artillery and MLRS at a grain storage facility, from which they systematically shell positions of the Russian Armed Forces, provoking them to return fire;
🔹in Zaporozhye, Nikolaev, Kharkov and Kherson regions, AFU servicemen together with fighters from nationalist battalions are purposefully torching fields with crops using helicopters and artillery.
▫️These and other similar provocations by the Ukrainian authorities are taking place against a backdrop of ongoing hysteria by so called civilized West and their false accusations against the Russian Federation of artificially creating a food crisis in the world. We warn in advance that fabricated material about alleged "Russian atrocities" is soon to be spread widely through the Western and Ukrainian media.
▫️Such actions by Kiev once again demonstrate an inhuman attitude towards the fate of the Ukrainian citizens and show a complete disregard for all norms of morality and international humanitarian law.
▫️Despite our repeated statements, these and other such facts, which flagrantly violate international humanitarian law, continue to go unheeded by the international community and international organisations.

🎙Embassy reply to a media question regarding Defence Secretary Ben Wallace’s claim against Russia
❓Question: How would you comment on the recent statements by Ben Wallace who said that Russian is a “fascist state” that “does not want to listen”?
💬Answer: We have numerously urged UK officials to refrain from insulting and escalatory rhetoric intended to camouflage their own foreign policy failings.
▪️It seems Secretary Wallace has forgotten events of the recent past. And we know that history has a habit of repeating itself badly when politicians fail to learn from its mistakes. Seeing such omissions from a Defence Secretary is a worrisome sign. Nevertheless, we are happy to once more refresh Secretary Wallace’s memory.
▪️First, Russia since 2015 has repeatedly called on the West to apply pressure on Ukraine to implement the Minsk Agreements, signed by Kiev, endorsed by the UN Security Council and, more importantly, intended to firmly guarantee Ukraine’s territorial integrity. We stressed time and again that Kiev was openly sabotaging these agreements, essentially buying time to prepare for a military solution in Donbass. The West, including the UK, preferred not to listen.
▪️Secondly, Russia has repeatedly made it clear that further NATO enlargement to the East, pulling Ukraine into its orbit and artificially creating a vehemently anti-Russian state next to our borders is an unacceptable “red line”. Most recently, we voluntarily devised and forwarded our security proposals that would have ensured – in line with OSCE principles – indivisible security for all European countries. Unfortunately, the US and its NATO allies, including the UK, preferred not to listen, again.
▪️Thirdly, Russia has provided irrefutable evidence that neo-Nazism is flourishing in Ukraine, that the Kiev authorities are encouraging nationalist and far-right sentiments, fostering Russophobia, effectively “cancelling” Russia, including the Russian language and media and thereby depriving Ukraine’s Russian-speaking population of its lawful rights. Moreover, since 2014 Ukraine has deployed its military in a merciless punitive campaign against its own citizens in the Donbass region. Yet again, the West, including the UK, preferred not to listen.
▪️The aims of the Russian special military operation are straight-forward: to demilitarise and de-Nazify Ukraine in order to protect the security interests of the Russian Federation and the rights of the Russian citizens, the citizens of Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine. As Secretary Wallace has rightly said, when someone does not want to listen – something that the West has clearly demonstrated – hard power is needed alongside words.
▪️Last, we were surprised to hear Secretary Wallace overtly supporting the call for British citizens to fight in Ukraine, thus fuelling hostilities, which the British government allegedly seeks to stop. It would have been advisable on Secretary Wallace’s part to warn his countrymen that in the event of capture they are bound to be treated as mercenaries, as the currently detained UK citizens in Donbass can confirm – devoid of any rights to combatant or prisoner-of-war status.

⚠️ Russian Federation's Joint Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response continues to record numerous facts of criminal actions by Kiev regime against civilians, as well as the use of medical infrastructure for military purposes by Ukrainian armed formations:
🔹in Seversk, Donetsk People's Republic, neo-Nazis have equipped firing positions and ammunition depots in residential buildings (Sadovaya Street) without evacuating local residents;
🔹in Izmail, Odessa region, territorial defence units are deployed at the Agrotechnological College (Suvorov Avenue), and roadblocks and firing points have been equipped in the vicinity of the building;
🔹in Kharkov, Ukrainian militants, MLRS and artillery are stationed on the territory of the Machine-Building College (General Momot Street) and the approaches to the building are mined, but the local population is deliberately not informed about this;
🔹in Artemovsk, Donetsk People's Republic, AFU soldiers have equipped a stronghold in the teacher training college (Blagoveshchenskaya Street), armoured vehicles and artillery are deployed, and residents of nearby houses are forcibly detained in the premises of the institution under the pretext of supposedly ensuring security.
▫️These facts once again demonstrate the Ukrainian authorities' complete disregard for the norms of morality and the provisions of international humanitarian law.
▫️This is happening with the tacit consent of the countries of the so-called collective West, which continue to turn a blind eye to the numerous war crimes of the Kiev regime.

🔹in Seversk, Donetsk People's Republic, neo-Nazis have equipped firing positions and ammunition depots in residential buildings (Sadovaya Street) without evacuating local residents;
🔹in Izmail, Odessa region, territorial defence units are deployed at the Agrotechnological College (Suvorov Avenue), and roadblocks and firing points have been equipped in the vicinity of the building;
🔹in Kharkov, Ukrainian militants, MLRS and artillery are stationed on the territory of the Machine-Building College (General Momot Street) and the approaches to the building are mined, but the local population is deliberately not informed about this;
🔹in Artemovsk, Donetsk People's Republic, AFU soldiers have equipped a stronghold in the teacher training college (Blagoveshchenskaya Street), armoured vehicles and artillery are deployed, and residents of nearby houses are forcibly detained in the premises of the institution under the pretext of supposedly ensuring security.
▫️These facts once again demonstrate the Ukrainian authorities' complete disregard for the norms of morality and the provisions of international humanitarian law.
▫️This is happening with the tacit consent of the countries of the so-called collective West, which continue to turn a blind eye to the numerous war crimes of the Kiev regime.

⚠️ During the day on direct orders from Zelensky, Ukrainian troops attempted an offensive in 3 directions in Nikolaev and Kherson regions. As a result of the active defence of the Russian troops grouping, AFU units suffered heavy losses. Another enemy offensive attempt failed miserably.
⚠️ The shelling by Ukrainian troops of Energodar city, near the nuclear power plant, continues unabated. Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian artillery fired 8 large-calibre shells into residential areas of the city. Some civilians are injured. Two shells exploded in close proximity to the perimeter of the nuclear plant. In course of counter-battery warfare, enemy firepower at these positions was suppressed.
⚠️ Kiev regime continues provocations to threaten a man-made nuclear disaster at Zaporozhye NPP. On August 28, Ukrainian troops used an unmanned aerial vehicle to strike at the nuclear power plant. Ukrainian attack drone was shot down by small arms fire as it approached Special Building No 1, which stores US-made nuclear fuel and solid radioactive waste.
🇷🇺 Colonel General Alexander Fomin, Russian Deputy Defence Minister, held briefing for foreign military attachés accredited in Moscow, on Vostok 2022 strategic command post exercise.

❗️ While Kiev regime and its western sponsors were preparing an operation aimed at capturing Zaporozhye nuclear power plant on September 1, the international community had to be informed about the establishment of Kiev's control over the plant by specially selected and prepared 'mass media representatives' from Ukraine, USA and United Kingdom in presence of the mission from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
◽️ With this purpose, as it was confirmed on September 2 in the public statement by V.Zelensky, Kiev regime added motor cars with Ukrainian and western journalists on board to the convoy of IAEA without prior arrangement.
◽️ The attempt to carry out this provocation was made by Kiev in disregard of mission's working scenario documentally predetermined by IAEA Secretariat and UN Department for Safety and Security.
◽️ According to thoroughly studied and agreed documents, the access to Russian-controlled territory of Zaporozhye nuclear power plant was to be provided only pursuant to the lists previously presented by Russian Defence Ministry to UN Department for Safery and Security.
◽️ There are no representatives of Ukrainian or other mass media tasked to accompany IAEA's convoy on September 1 from Kiev-controlled territory to Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in the agreed lists.
◽️ Considering this fact, in order to implement the security protocol for mission's work, all unauthorised persons were stopped and did not receive access at their attempts to cross the delimitation line with IAEA's convoy.
◽️ At the same time, on request of IAEA Secretariat, Russian party provided the arrival of over 60 representatives of mass media, including from France, USA, China, Denmark, Japan, Germany, Turkey, Qatar, UAE, South Korea, Vietnam and other countries to cover the mission's work.
⚠️ In the morning on September 1, the journalists that arrived in Energodar happened to witness the unsuccessful attempt to assault Zaporozhye nuclear power plant by Ukrainian saboteurs and experienced personally an artillery shelling launched by AFU at the nuclear power plant and residential areas of Energodar while hiding in a bomb shelter.

🎙Embassy Statement on plans to supply UK armaments with depleted uranium to Ukraine
▪️We consider the plans, officially confirmed by the UK Defence Ministry, to supply Ukraine ammunition with depleted uranium to be a step fraught with risks of further escalation of the conflict.
▪️UK weapons supplies to Kiev, especially of such a sensitive nature, would lead to aggravation of the situation.
▪️Radioactivity, high toxicity and carcinogenicity of such weapons are well-known.
👆Clearly the British have made the choice towards inflicting maximum damage and destruction to the population of the frontline regions.
▪️In general, this provides further evidence that Ukraine represents nothing more than testing ground for the UK in its stand-off with our country.
❗️We warn London against crossing another dangerous line in its maniacal desire to achieve “Russia’s defeat”.

We enjoyed the meeting with our #ASEAN friends on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the #Russia-ASEAN Strategic Partnership proclaimed here in Singapore in 2018.
Participants had a good discussion on how to promote further Russia-ASEAN relations with a special emphasis on disaster risk reduction, energy, digital development, smart cities and capacity building.
Russian Ambassador H.E. Mr. Nikolay Kudashev highlighted achievements of Russia-ASEAN dialogue and cooperation between ASEAN, SCO and EAEU as a backbone for the concept of the Greater Eurasian Partnership.
Ambassador emphasized an amazing culture of dialogue based on mutual trust and respect and driven by joint commitment to ASEAN centrality in the regional security architecture. He also stressed the threat from block thinking, drawing divisive lines and bringing aggressive alliances into Asia and the Pacific to undermine the existing ASEAN-centric structures like EAS, ARF and ADMM+.
H.E. Mr. Suryo Pratomo, Ambassador of #Indonesia - ASEAN Chair country, fully reciprocated in his remarks good feelings of Ambassador Kudashev.
