⚡ Russian Foreign Ministry statement on US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan

Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, arrived in Taiwan on August 2.

We consider her visit a clear provocation in keeping with the US’s aggressive policy of comprehensive containment of the PRC.

We believe relations between both sides of the Taiwan Strait are exclusively China’s domestic affair. The Chinese side is entitled to take any measures necessary to protect its sovereignty and territorial integrity in terms of the Taiwan issue.

🇷🇺 🤝 🇨🇳 Russia's principled position remains unchanged: we operate on the premise that there is only one China, and the PRC government is the only legitimate government representing all of China, and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China.

In the Joint Statement of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China on international relations entering a new era and on sustainable global development, which was adopted after the talks between the leaders of our countries on February 4, the Russian side reaffirmed its adherence to the “one China” principle and opposed the independence of the island in any form.

We call on Washington to refrain from actions, that undermine regional stability and international security, and to recognise the new geopolitical reality, which has no place for US hegemony.

⚠️ According to reliable information, militants of Ukrainian armed formations have carried out another bloody provocation in Kherson Region.

❗️Nationalists shot up a bus with civilians evacuating to Kiev-controlled territory on a stretch of road near Dolgovoye.

▫️At the same time, photo and video recordings of allegedly indiscriminate Russian strikes on civilians were carried out by specialists of the AFU Centre for Information and Psychological Operations.

▫️Such actions by criminal Ukrainian authorities demonstrate complete indifference to the fate of their own citizens and absolute disregard for all norms of morality and the principles of international humanitarian law.

💬 Ночью в МИД Китая был вызван американский посол Николас Бернс.

Тот самый посол, который еще месяц назад на Глобальном форуме мира в Пекине в присутствии нашего посла Андрея Денисова обвинял Россию в нарушении всевозможных норм международного права и неуважении суверенитета других государств.

Тот самый посол, который в ультимативном тоне требовал от Китая прекратить поддерживать «войну на Украине» и транслировать «российскую пропаганду».

Тот самый посол, который теперь стыдливо помалкивает, не зная как оправдываться за грубую и наглую выходку спикера Палаты представителей, способную подорвать региональную стабильность и безопасность.

Ведь он понимает, что своей провокацией США в очередной раз показали пренебрежение правами других государств. И теперь уж точно не американцам рассказывать про уважение международного права, если Вашингтон нарушил свои обязательства перед Пекином.

Показательно, что обычно активное на информационном фронте посольство США в КНР перешло в режим молчания и за два дня не сделало ни одной публикации.

А что так?

Американские дипломаты буквально проглотили язык и забились в угол. Очевидно, боятся праведного гнева китайской общественности. И правильно делают. Трудолюбивый китайский народ такого отношения к себе не заслужил.

💬 Opinion by Maria #Zakharova

China’s Foreign Ministry has summoned US Ambassador Nicholas Burns overnight.

He is the very same ambassador who took the floor just a month ago at the World Peace Forum in Beijing in the presence of our Ambassador Andrey Denisov to accuse Russia of violating all possible international norms and failing to respect the sovereignty of other countries.

This is the very same ambassador who adopted an ultimatum-like tone, as he demanded that China stop supporting ‘the war in Ukraine’ or relaying ‘Russian propaganda.’

He is also the ambassador who is now keeping an embarrassed silence, unable as he is to find a justification for the brash and insolent stunt mounted by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, which could well undermine regional stability and security.

After all, he understands that by staging this provocation the United States once again demonstrated its disdain for the rights of other nations. How can the Americans lecture others about the need to respect international law if Washington itself violates the obligations it has towards Beijing?

It is telling that the US Embassy in the People’s Republic of China switched from its proactive communications policy to silent mode and has not issued a single release over the past two days.

How so?

The American diplomats have literally swallowed their tongues and huddled up in a corner. It is obvious that they are afraid of the righteous wrath of Chinese society. And they should be. The hard-working people of China do not deserve such treatment.

Аксиоматичная формула, что Россия может быть либо сильной, либо ее не будет, получает сегодня наглядное подтверждение. Санкции, военное, информационное и политическое давление, попытки отрезать нас от глобальных рынков и технологий – все это эффективно лишь в той степени, в какой мы находимся в недружественной нам системе координат. Взятая в последние годы линия на укрепление национального суверенитета оказалась несовместимой с участием России в глобальных процессах на чужих условиях или в качестве члена западоцентричных структур (например, той же «Группы восьми», которую Москва безвозвратно покинула в 2014 г.). Суверенизация всех областей жизнедеятельности, включая идейную сферу, политическую систему, культуру, науку, экономику, финансы и другие, при открытости к самому широкому взаимообогащающему равноправному международному сотрудничеству, может гарантировать устойчивое развитие России и достойное место нашей страны в многополярном миропорядке. Среди прочего, ход вещей заставляет обеспечить «национализацию» категорий нашей внешнеполитической философии, кооптированных из западной «школы мысли». Так ли применимы в отечественном контексте и практике такие идеологизированные конструкты, как, например, «мягкая сила» и «публичная дипломатия», или все-таки правильно говорить о «культурной и гуманитарной политике», а также «информационном сопровождении внешней политики»?

России пора вернуться к самой себе. Осознать себя в качестве исторического ядра самобытной цивилизации, крупнейшей евразийской и Евро-Тихоокеанской державы, одного из сильнейших геополитических центров мира.

Специальная военная операция дает для такого самоопределения широкие возможности. Русские, чеченцы, аварцы, татары, якуты, тувинцы и представители других коренных народов в составе многонациональной и многоконфессиональной российской армии противостоят формированиям киевского марионеточного режима, сделавшего ставку на ущербный радикал-национализм и безоглядную, унизительную покорность иностранным хозяевам. Давние исторические враги – казаки и чеченцы, освободившие Лисичанск, называют себя братьями по оружию, а командира-чеченца награждают казачьим крестом. Здесь есть о чем задуматься. На поверхность выходит, что выбор в пользу межнационального единства и традиционных ценностей высвобождает созидательную энергию, а неестественная опора на сфальсифицированное прошлое и иллюзорное будущее не может не вести к внутренней неустроенности и агрессии против инакомыслящих.

Конечно, возвращение к себе невозможно без хорошо продуманной идейной мобилизации государства и общества – это также необходимое условие результативной внешней политики после выхода из-под всех форм зависимости от Запада. На это указывает и обращение к трудам видных отечественных ученых, мысленно предвосхитивших вопросы, которые поставил нынешний исторический этап. Самобытность российской цивилизации определяется как «совершенно своеобразный национальный государственный и культурный комплекс, одинаково четко отличающийся и от Европы, и от Азии», писал в 1951 г. И.Л.Солоневич . «Особой этноцивилизационной платформой» назвал нашу страну в 1993 г. В.Л.Цымбурский. Место Европы как крайней западной оконечности Евразийского континента в 2003 г. констатировал А.А.Зиновьев: «Тот благополучный Запад, о котором мечтают в России, есть лишь маленький островок в океане грязи и страданий» .

История выбрала Россию в качестве силы, которая своим упорством и последовательностью в стремлении к правде и справедливости для всех ускорит переход к новому миропорядку. От нашей способности сыграть объединяющую роль и создать межцивилизационную «сеть» приоритетных партнеров на горизонте ближайшего десятилетия будут зависеть не только внешнеполитические позиции России, но и стабильность всей системы международных отношений.

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.

◽️ 20 мая 2022 года сдавшиеся в плен военнослужащие нацполка «Азов» были доставлены в СИЗО населенный пункт Еленовка. Украинская сторона настояла именно на этом месте содержания пленных.

◽️ 28 июля 2022 года было опубликовано видеопризнание в преступлениях «азовцев» Дмитрия Козацкого, что могло стать концом медийной популяризации полка «Азов».

◽️ Как итог, в ночь с 28 на 29 июля 2022 года был нанесен удар по СИЗО в Еленовке.

❗️ Руководство Украины отдало приказ о нанесении ракетного удара, так как пленные боевики полка «Азов» начали давать свидетельские показания, разоблачающие их преступления, в том числе и против мирных граждан.

⚡️ 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.
