Russia can be either strong or perish – the latest developments have proven in all clarity the accuracy of this axiomatic statement. Sanctions, military, media and political pressures and attempts to cut us from the global markets and deprive us of technology are effective only as long as we stay within a matrix shaped by those who are hostile to us. Russia’s policy to reinforce its national sovereignty in recent years has proven to be incompatible with its involvement in global processes on someone else’s terms or as a member of Western-centric structures such as the Group of Eight, which Russia left for good back in 2014. Injecting more sovereignty across the board, including in the world of ideas, politics, culture, research, economics, finance and other spheres while remaining open to broad mutually enriching equitable international cooperation can well place Russia on the path to steady development and secure the place it deserves in the multipolar world order. <...>
It is high time for Russia to go back to its roots and to realise that it forms a historical core of a civilisation with a unique identity and is, in fact, the largest Eurasian and Euro-Pacific power and one of the world’s most powerful geopolitical centres.
The special military operation creates ample opportunities for reclaiming this identity. Russians, Chechens, Avars, Tatars, Yakuts, Tuvans and members of other indigenous peoples are all fighting within a multi-ethnic and multi-faith Russian army against the troops of Kiev’s puppet regime, which has put its stakes on a retrograde policy of radical nationalism and an unconditional and humiliating subordination to its foreign masters. Cossacks and Chechens had been adversaries for a long time, but now they worked together to liberate Lisichansk and call each other comrades in arms. A Chechen commander received a Cossack military award. This is something that deserves some thought. It emerges that efforts to promote an interethnic unity and traditional values generate creative energies, while relying on a falsified vision of history and illusions about the future is unnatural, paving the way to domestic instability and aggression against dissenters.
Of course, going back to one’s roots would be impossible without mobilising the state and society on the ideological front. This is another essential prerequisite for an effective foreign policy as we move away from our dependency on the West in all its forms and manifestations. Prominent Russian researchers have been making this point as they presaged many of the issues that emerged at the current historical stage. Ivan Solonevich wrote back in 1951 that the unique nature of the Russian civilisation can be defined as a “singular national state and cultural whole that is clearly distinct from both Europe and Asia.” In 1993, Vadim Tsymbursky referred to Russia as a “special ethnic and civilisational platform.” Alexander Zinoviev wrote in 2003 that Europe was the Western tip of the Eurasian continent saying: “The prosperous West that Russia is dreaming of is but a small island in the ocean of filth and suffering.”
History has chosen Russia as a force poised to accelerate the transition to a new world order through its persistence and steady resolve to achieve truth and justice for all. Not only Russia’s foreign policy positions but the stability of the entire system of international relations hinge on our ability to play a unifying role and create a cross-civilisational network of priority partners within the next decade.

⚡️ The Russian Ministry of Defence continues to analyse the military and biological activities of the US and its allies in Ukraine and elsewhere in the world in the light of new information obtained in the liberated territories.
READ IN FULL
Key points
☣️ Work continues on the study of biological samples from Ukrainian soldiers who have voluntarily laid down their arms.
Particular attention should be paid to the discovery of narcotic drugs, including opioids such as methadone, codepsin, codeterp, as well as ephedrine-type substances: t-phedrine and tri-phedrine, at positions abandoned by Ukrainian military personnel.
A side effect of such addictive drugs is primarily excessive aggression, which explains the extreme cruelty towards civilians displayed by some Ukrainian servicemen, as well as the shelling of towns in Donbass.
☣️ A few weeks ago, during the special military operation, Rubezhnoye in Lugansk People's Republic was liberated. Documents have been found in the laboratory of the Pharmbiotest medical centre, confirming that research had been carried out in Ukraine for several years on behalf of the so-called Big Pharma.
☣️ We are considering the possibility that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was involved in the emergence of the new coronavirus. Since 2009, the agency has funded the Predict programme, which has investigated new species of coronaviruses by capturing bats that carry the viruses. One of the contractors for the project was Metabiota, a company known for its military-biological activities in Ukraine.
❗️ We see a clear trend: infectious disease agents that reach the Pentagon's zone of interest are subsequently pandemic, with US pharmaceutical companies and their patrons, the leaders of the US Democratic Party, as the beneficiaries.
☣️ US impunity has contributed to the continued use of bioweapons technology by Washington in Latin America, including the assassination of undesirable politicians.
On July 18, 2022, the President of the Republic of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, publicly declared the involvement of the United States in the assassination of former head of state Hugo Chávez.
According to information available to Venezuela, U.S. security services have been working since 2002 on possible ways to eliminate the Venezuelan leader, who has pursued an active anti-American policy. Numerous assassination attempts involving members of the US embassy in Caracas were uncovered and thwarted.
A causal link between the Venezuelan leader's death and the development of biological weapons is confirmed by forensic evidence and the testimony of Cuban doctors who treated Chavez about the atypical course of the disease and its resistance to the use of medicines.

🎙 Following international consultations, the Presidents of the two countries adopted a Joint Statement.
💬 Vladimir #Putin: We have large projects we are working on. Everybody knows about the construction of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant. This is energy, which is very important, but there are other areas as well.
In this regard, I would like to note that TurkStream, the construction of which we completed some time ago, is today one of the most important routes for supplying Europe with Russian gas.
TurkStream, unlike all other directions of our hydrocarbon supplies to Europe, is operating well, smoothly, and without failure. I do not mean only deliveries to consumers in Turkiye, but, let me repeat, also to consumers in Europe.
☝️ I believe that our European partners should be grateful to Turkiye for ensuring the continuous transit of gas to their markets.

💬 И.С.Вишневецкий: Прямо во время нашего заседания приходят тревожные вести о ситуации на Запорожской АЭС.
Буквально два часа назад украинские вооруженные силы обстреляли ЗАЭС артиллерией крупного калибра. Снаряды попали в объект, с которого ведется распределение электроэнергии на станцию, что чревато ее обесточиванием.
Исходя из информации, которую мы получаем в режиме реального времени, на место пожара не могут прибыть ремонтные бригады, потому что вероятность артиллерийского обстрела сохраняется.
❗️ Ситуация исключительно тревожная, чреватая техногенной катастрофой на крупнейшей в Европе атомной электростанции.
Если авария произойдет, она будет сродни Чернобыльской. Европейские государства эта ситуация касается в первую очередь.
В связи с этим, мы бы хотели обратиться к международным организациям – ООН, МАГАТЭ, – а также к странам, которые имеют влияние на киевский режим, чтобы они предприняли действия, чтобы обстрелы АЭС немедленно прекратились. Иначе последствия этого предсказать будет трудно.

💬 Deputy Head of the Russian Delegation, at the 8th Plenary Meeting of the 10th NPT Review Conference Igor Vishnevetskii: Right during our meeting, alarming information is coming about the situation at the Zaporozhye NPP.
❗️ Just two hours ago, the Ukrainian armed forces shelled the Zaporozhye NPP with large-caliber artillery.
❌ According to the information we receive in real time, repair crews cannot reach the scene of the fire as there is still a possibility of artillery shelling.
The situation is extremely alarming, fraught with the risk of a man-made disaster at Europe's largest nuclear power plant.
‼️ If the accident happens, it will be akin to Chernobyl.
☝️ Thus, we appeal to international organizations – the UN, the IAEA – as well as to nations that have an influence on the Kiev regime to take action so that the shelling of nuclear power plants stops immediately.
Otherwise, the consequences will be hard to predict.

💬 FM Sergey Lavrov: On August 6, 1945, the United States launched a nuclear attack against Hiroshima and three days later against Nagasaki.
To this day, the terrible death of innocent civilians strikes a chord with millions of people on our planet. It is hard to fully understand what the masterminds and perpetrators of such an inhumane act were guided by.
The Soviet offensive in the Far East, as part of the agreements between the Allies, not only liberated China and Korea, but also took away Japan’s motivation to continue military operations. In that situation, atomic bombings by the United States were in fact a show of force and an operational test of nuclear weapons on civilians.
🇺🇸 United States was the first and only country to use this type of weapons of mass destruction.

❗️Комментарий официального представителя МИД России М.В.Захаровой к очередной годовщине августовских событий 2008 года на Южном Кавказе
Читать полностью
💬 Сегодня, в четырнадцатую годовщину начала военной агрессии Грузии против народа Южной Осетии и российских миротворцев из состава Смешанных сил по поддержанию мира в зоне грузино-югоосетинского конфликта, мы вновь отдаем дань памяти жертвам этого вероломного нападения, а также мужеству тех, кто ценой своей жизни спас югоосетин от истребления.
На преступную военную авантюру, предпринятую режимом М.Саакашвили, был дан адекватный ответ – в сложившихся экстремальных обстоятельствах Россия сначала успешно провела операцию по принуждению агрессора к миру, а затем признала Южную Осетию, а также Абхазию, которой была уготована та же участь, что и соседней республике, суверенными независимыми государствами, взяв их под свою защиту.
Другим последствием отражения грузинской агрессии стал запуск в Швейцарии нового переговорного трека – Международных женевских дискуссий по безопасности и стабильности в Закавказье, главной задачей которых является обеспечение прочной и надежной безопасности Абхазии и Южной Осетии через поддержание постоянного прямого диалога между обеими республиками и грузинской стороной.
Однако в последнее время на этой важной диалоговой площадке возобладал политически мотивированный подход со стороны отдельных «игроков», движимых своими эгоистичными интересами. В результате Женевский формат оказался фактически «замороженным». Вот уже восемь месяцев не удается провести очередной раунд Женевских дискуссий.
Перспективы проведения отложенного раунда по-прежнему остаются туманными. Это – не наш выбор. Вся ответственность за срыв переговорного процесса и его последствия полностью ложатся на инициаторов таких деструктивных действий и тех, кто им потакает.

На преступную военную авантюру, предпринятую режимом М.Саакашвили, был дан адекватный ответ – в сложившихся экстремальных обстоятельствах Россия сначала успешно провела операцию по принуждению агрессора к миру, а затем признала Южную Осетию, а также Абхазию, которой была уготована та же участь, что и соседней республике, суверенными независимыми государствами, взяв их под свою защиту.
Другим последствием отражения грузинской агрессии стал запуск в Швейцарии нового переговорного трека – Международных женевских дискуссий по безопасности и стабильности в Закавказье, главной задачей которых является обеспечение прочной и надежной безопасности Абхазии и Южной Осетии через поддержание постоянного прямого диалога между обеими республиками и грузинской стороной.
Однако в последнее время на этой важной диалоговой площадке возобладал политически мотивированный подход со стороны отдельных «игроков», движимых своими эгоистичными интересами. В результате Женевский формат оказался фактически «замороженным». Вот уже восемь месяцев не удается провести очередной раунд Женевских дискуссий.
Перспективы проведения отложенного раунда по-прежнему остаются туманными. Это – не наш выбор. Вся ответственность за срыв переговорного процесса и его последствия полностью ложатся на инициаторов таких деструктивных действий и тех, кто им потакает.
