⚡️ Заявление Министра иностранных дел Российской Федерации С.В.Лаврова о соглашениях по транспортировке украинского зерна из черноморских портов и по продвижению российского экспорта продовольствия и удобрений
💬 22 июля в Стамбуле состоялась церемония одновременного подписания двух документов по морским поставкам украинского зерна и экспорту российской сельскохозяйственной продукции – «Инициативы по безопасной транспортировке зерна и продовольствия из портов Украины» и «Меморандума о взаимопонимании между Российской Федерацией и Секретариатом ООН о содействии продвижению российских продуктов питания и удобрений на мировые рынки».
Изначально оба этих направления были частью т.н. «пакетной» инициативы Генсекретаря ООН, которую Президент России В.В.Путин поддержал, однако в ходе переговоров проявились попытки Киева саботировать предложенный А.Гутеррешем взаимоувязанный характер договорённости. Причём переговорщики от Секретариата ООН придерживались позиции, не вполне соответствующей изначальной инициативе Генерального секретаря.
Как бы то ни было, в итоге удалось – именно стараниями российской делегации – сохранить комплексный, деполитизированный характер «пакетной» договорённости, тем самым обеспечив максимально возможное движение навстречу развивающимся странам – импортерам продовольствия.
Россия будет и впредь верна своим обязательствам в этой сфере. Использование США и их союзниками продовольствия в интересах геополитических авантюр неприемлемо и бесчеловечно.
Меморандум о взаимопонимании по российскому экспорту сельскохозяйственной продукции подписан Первым заместителем Председателя Правительства Российской Федерации А.Р.Белоусовым и Генеральным секретарем ООН А.Гутеррешем. Главная задача – обеспечение транспарентных и беспрепятственных поставок российских продовольствия и удобрений, включая сырье для их производства, на мировые рынки. Речь идет, в частности, о том, чтобы устранить препятствия, которые создали США и ЕС в сферах финансов, страхования и логистики, добиться конкретных исключений для этой продукции из-под действия ограничительных мер, введенных против нашей страны. Срок действия Меморандума – 3 года.
Сторонами Инициативы по транспортировке украинского зерна выступают Россия, Турция и Украина при вспомогательной роли ООН. Целью является содействие безопасному судоходству для экспорта зерна, продовольствия и удобрений, включая аммиак, из портов Одессы, Черноморска и Южный. Документ предусматривает порядок прохода судов, их досмотр, мониторинг функционирования гуманитарного коридора, модальности разминирования и предотвращения опасных инцидентов силами специального Совместного координационного центра в Стамбуле с участием представителей России, Украины и Турции при подключении сотрудников ООН. Инициатива рассчитана на 120 дней с возможностью продления на аналогичный срок по согласованию сторон.
☝️ Отрадно, что Вашингтон и Брюссель прекратили чинить препятствия достижению сегодняшних договорённостей. Подписание меморандума Россия – ООН лишний раз подчёркивает абсолютно искусственный характер предпринимавшихся попыток Запада свалить на Россию вину за проблемы с поставками зерна на мировые рынки.
Рассчитываем, что в предстоящий период будут предприняты все необходимые усилия для эффективного выполнения указанных соглашений. Немаловажное значение в этой связи имеет добросовестное содействие со стороны ООН и конструктивный подход международного сообщества в целом, включая западные страны. С учетом весомой доли российской и украинской сельскохозяйственной продукции на мировых рынках, обеспечение её бесперебойного экспорта отвечает насущным задачам поддержания продовольственной безопасности, особенно развивающихся и наименее развитых стран. Всё это должно содействовать достижению Целей устойчивого развития, в том числе по ликвидации голода.
В заключение хотел бы вновь поблагодарить наших турецких партнёров, лично Президента Р.Т.Эрдогана за их вклад в достигнутые сегодня результаты.

Key points:
🇷🇺🌍 Russia has advocated Africa’s strengthened position in the multipolar architecture of a world order which should be based on the principles of the UN Charter and take the world’s cultural and civilizational diversity into account.
🤝 Russia-Africa ties are based on the time-tested bonds of friendship and cooperation. Our country has always supported Africans in their struggle for liberation from colonial oppression.
👉 We appreciate the considered African position as to the situation in Ukraine. Although unprecedented by its scale the pressure from beyond has not brought our friends to join the anti-Russian sanctions.
☝️ Relations between Russia and Africa are of an intrinsic value and do not depend on fluctuations in the international environment.

💬 С.В.Лавров: Сейчас поразительная перемена между тем, что чувствуют черногорцы и македонцы в отношении России, и то, что заставляют их политиков делать из Брюсселя, ЕС, НАТО.
Это попытка сделать их «инструментом» в антироссийской игре. Это то же самое, что пытались сделать из Украины и из ряда других восточно-европейских стран.

⚠️ According to reliable information, in Seredina-Buda, Sumy region, militants of a territorial defence battalion, in cooperation with personnel of the Security Service of Ukraine, make the rounds of residential building and private houses for detecting local residents who express pro-Russian opinion.
📱The citizens whose mobile phones contain conversations in messengers or calls to Russian numbers are physically violated and transported to an unknown destination.
▫️The fate of those people has been unknown until now.
❗️ The major cynicism of this kind of inhumane acts lies in the readiness of the Kiev regime to sacrifice the lives of their own citizens in order to reach this asset that completely copies the methodology practiced by Nazis at the occupied areas during the Great National War.

💬 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Ukraine:
Ukraine’s military ambitions continue to be well understood in the USA. The US has spent $7.3 billion on military aid for Ukrainian units since the start of the special military operation and is not planning to let up. The EU is not far behind its overseas ally. Brussels has decided to grant Kiev another consignment of military aid worth 500 million euros.
❗️All this is taking place against the backdrop of reports by the Ukrainian and Western press on the subsequent smuggling of arms sent to Ukraine via DarkNet and other channels. These weapons are saturating the black markets that are actively used by extremist and terrorist groups all over the world. NATO and the EU are well aware of this situation. This is evident from their attempts to create some oversight mechanisms and compel Kiev to report on the targeted use of the supplied weapons.
Despite help from the West, the position of the Ukrainian armed units in the combat zone is declining every day.

🔸 Ukraine was chosen to be anti-Russia, as we say. The organizers of the illegal coup d’etat in February, 2014 were not called to discipline by their Western sponsors.
🔸 The regime was going in a very aggressive and Neo-Nazi direction. We have been drawing the attention of our Western colleagues to these facts during all these long seven years as the Minsk Agreements were sabotaged and Russian culture and everything being Russian was eroded from Ukrainian life.
🔸 It is not about Ukraine, but about the future of the world order.
🔸 We are at the beginning of a new era, which would be a movement towards real multilateralism, not to the multilateralism, which the West tries to impose on the basis of the exceptional role of the Western civilization in the modern world. And I think the movement is unstoppable.

🎙 Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the safety of nuclear facilities in Ukraine
💬 Recently, increasing concern has been caused by the tense situation around Zaporozhye NPP, which has been escalated by the Ukrainian authorities, including by spreading misinformation about the alleged negative impact of Russia’s representatives at the plant on ensuring its safety.
We have repeatedly stressed that Russia has shown utmost responsibility with regard to Ukrainian nuclear facilities and done everything in its power to ensure not only an adequate level of nuclear and physical safety, but also the greatest possible transparency in this matter.
At the end of June 2022, together with the IAEA Secretariat we prepared a visit to Zaporozhye NPP of an international mission led by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, which was aimed at carrying out activities in the framework of implementing the IAEA safeguards as well as verifying compliance with safety standards at the NPP.
Extensive and complex preparatory work had been done to coordinate all details of the visit: the route of the mission, measures to ensure the delegation’s safety and the involvement of high-ranking foreign specialists.
Unfortunately, the visit did not take place due to the counterproductive position of the UN Secretariat's leadership, which refused to support the IAEA Secretariat's initiative under the far-fetched pretext of insufficient security and poor timing of the event.
Disrupting the visit played into the hands of the Kiev regime and its Western sponsors, who were not satisfied that the Director General, agency experts and international representatives included in the mission would have an opportunity to see the real situation at the Zaporozhye NPP and make sure it was functioning properly.
It was after the disruption of the visit that Kiev's armed provocations against the NPP increased manifold: drone strikes were carried out against the territory of the plant, as well as actions aimed at intimidating its personnel.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly reported on these incidents, distributing information circulars in the IAEA. In fact, by its actions Ukraine blatantly violated all seven principles of nuclear safety, formulated by the IAEA Director General, ignored the resolutions of the IAEA General Conferences of 1985 and 1990, which state that any armed attack or threat to attack nuclear facilities used for peaceful purposes violates the principles of the UN Charter, international law and the IAEA Charter.
☝️ We warn the Zelensky regime against continuing provocations against Europe's biggest nuclear power plant, which could lead to a nuclear accident whose grave consequences would affect more than just Ukraine. We call on the international community to be vigilant on this issue and condemn the actions of the Kiev authorities.

☦️ On July 28, Russia celebrates the Baptism of Rus. On this day in 988, Prince Vladimir and his warriors were baptised in the city of Korsun (Chersonesus), the centre of Byzantian territory in Crimea.
The baptism of Rus was an event of landmark significance. It accelerated the unification of Slavic tribes and the establishment of a united Russian state. By adopting one of the major world’s religions, our country tapped into the spiritual and cultural legacy of Byzantium, which considerably increased its international prestige.
⛪️ The St Vladimir Cathedral, a major architectural landmark of Sevastopol, was built at the site of Prince Vladimir’s baptism in the 19th century.
