On January 20, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will hold a high-profile news conference to review Russian diplomacy’s outcomes in 2025.
The news conference will be livestreamed on the Ministerial website and social media and translated into English, French, and Spanish.
#KievRegimeCrimes
The neo-Nazi Kiev regime continues to reveal its terrorist nature. From January 1 to 12, at least 152 Russian civilians were affected by Ukrainian shelling and drone attacks. 45 people were killed, including 3 children.
In the first minutes of 2026, in a premeditated attack, the armed forces of Ukraine used UAVs to hit a café and a hotel complex in the village of Khorly, Kherson Region, where families with children, a crowd of about 100 people, had come together to ring in the New Year. 29 people, including 2 children, were killed.
The Foreign Ministry provided an assessment of this barbaric atrocity by Ukrainian neo-Nazis on January 1.
#Ukraine #West
The fact that the West has no genuine interest in ending the conflict – just as it showed no desire for peace from the outset – is clearly demonstrated by the uninterrupted operation of Rzeszów Airport in Poland. Since 2022, it has served as a key logistics hub through which a continuous flow of military cargo has been delivered to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Observers note that the British and Canadian air forces, as well as private transport companies affiliated with the US military, are most active in these operations.
The European NATO member states’ actions aimed at saturating Kiev with military and financial resources speak far more eloquently about their true intentions than any hypocritical statements about a desire for peace. These actions speak louder than words, declarations, or diplomatic rhetoric.
#Britain #CoalitionOfTheWilling
For several months, we have observed a consistent escalation by Britain of aggressive and belligerent rhetoric against Russia.
For instance, on January 6 in Paris, on the sidelines of a gathering of the coalition of the willing, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and head of the Kiev regime Zelensky, signed a declaration of intent providing for the deployment of so-called multinational forces – in essence, Western occupation troops – to Ukraine under the guise of ensuring “future peace agreements.”
❗️ We must warn that any attempts to realise this criminal scheme with the coalition of the willing will leave responsibility for the lives of British subjects entirely on London’s shoulders.
Our position remains unchanged and well-known – any foreign military contingents in Ukraine will be considered legitimate targets for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The British component will be no exception.
#Finland #Militarisation #BalticRegion
On January 10, 2026, Helsinki’s decision to denounce the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction came into force.
Russia views this decision by the Finnish authorities as yet another manifestation of their destructive policy to militarise the country.
Russia reserves the right to respond to any hostile actions in a proportionate way, including by military and technical means, if necessary.

🎙Комментарий Посла России в Канаде Олега Степанова газете «Известия» (19 января 2026 года)
❓ К началу 2026 года полностью вступили в силу торговые рестрикции в отношении РФ, введенные в середине 2025 года правительством М.Карни. Как они повлияли на торговлю между Россией и Канадой? Можно ли говорить о полном сворачивании экономического взаимодействия между Москвой и Оттавой?
💬 О.В.Степанов: Как известно, канадские власти придерживаются крайне русофобского курса. Защищая интересы режима в Киеве, нацелены нанести нашей стране «стратегическое поражение». Односторонние нелегитимные санкции – инструмент реализации антироссийской идеологии официальной Оттавы.
📍 В этом контексте, важно отметить, что введённые кабинетом М.Карни в середине 2025 года ограничения принципиально ситуацию не изменили. Курс на сворачивание двустороннего торгово-экономического сотрудничества был взят Оттавой с февраля 2022 года. В результате товарооборот между нашими странами скукожился с 2,2 млрд долл. США в 2021 г. до 98 млн долларов в 2024 г.
❗️Не лишним будет напомнить, что власти Канады последовательно и целенаправленно продолжают оказывать давление на собственных экономоператоров, де-факто запрещая любые формы взаимодействия с российскими контрагентами. Предпринимателей запугивают, приравнивая любые деловые контакты с Россией к «поддержке агрессора».
🇷🇺 У нас в стране все, конечно, понимают, что «кленовые» санкции – фикция. Практического эффекта не имеют. Эдакое политическое позерство с расчётом на часть внутренней аудиторию и демонстрация солидарности в рамках западного русофобского клуба. В двусторонних отношениях у нас и так глубокая заморозка. Ответственность же за последствия этой недальновидной политики целиком и полностью лежит на руководстве Канады.
❓ Продолжается ли в правящих кругах Канады обсуждение конфискации заблокированных российских активов? Готовятся ли Оттавой меры по бессрочной заморозке авуаров РФ даже в случае снятия европейской блокировки?
💬 О.В.Степанов: Тема периодически всплывает. Как в политических заявлениях, так и в форме конкретных законодательных инициатив. В июне 2022 года принята поправка, позволяющая изъять частные иностранные активы по решению суда.
📍 На рассмотрении Сената Канады находится законопроект, который, в случае принятия, позволит конфисковать без решения суда авуары зарубежных стран за «нарушение мира и безопасности». Определять, кто что нарушил и нарушил ли, будут, понятно, канадские власти. Абсурд, с правовой точки зрения, но таковы местные реалии.
❗️Важно понимать. Подобные юридические новеллы представляют собой попытки легализовать одностороннее изъятие чужой собственности под политическим предлогом. Они нарушают базовые принципы государственного иммунитета и правовой определённости. Это вызывает дискуссии даже внутри здешнего политического истеблишмента.
🇨🇦 И еще. Сами канадские власти, похоже, не понимают, есть ли у них в данном контексте что-то, кроме желания. Их, конечно, возбуждают грабительские мечтания Еврокомиссии. Но наших активов в Канаде нет.

🎙Comment by Ambassador of Russia to Canada Oleg Stepanov to the Newspaper "Izvestia" (January 19, 2026)
❓ By early 2026, the trade restrictions imposed against the Russian Federation by the Carney government in mid-2025 have fully entered into force. How have these measures affected trade between Russia and Canada? Can one speak of a complete curtailment of economic cooperation between Moscow and Ottawa?
💬 Oleg Stepanov: As is well known, the Canadian authorities continue to pursue an extremely Russophobic policy. In their efforts to defend the interests of the Kiev regime, they aim to inflict a “strategic defeat” on our country. Unilateral and illegitimate sanctions are a tool used by the Canadian government to advance its anti-Russian ideological agenda.
📍 In this context, it is important to stress that the restrictions introduced by Prime Minister Carney’s cabinet in mid-2025 did not fundamentally alter the situation. The course toward dismantling bilateral trade and economic cooperation was adopted by Ottawa back in February 2022. As a result, trade turnover between our countries collapsed from $ 2.2 billion in 2021 to just $ 98 million in 2024.
❗️It is worth recalling that the Canadian authorities have consistently and deliberately pressured their own economic operators, in effect banning any forms of cooperation with Russian counterparts. Canadian entrepreneurs are being intimidated, with any business contacts with Russia equated to "supporting the aggressor".
🇷🇺 In Russia, of course, we fully understand that these so-called "maple" sanctions are a fiction. They have no practical impact. It is political posturing, aimed partly at the domestic audience and partly at demonstrating loyalty to the Western Russophobic club. Bilateral relations are already in a state of deep freeze. The responsibility for the consequences of this shortsighted policy lies entirely with the Canadian leadership.
❓ Does the discussion of confiscating frozen Russian assets continue within Canada’s ruling circles? Is Ottawa considering measures to impose an indefinite freeze on Russian assets even if European restrictions are lifted?
💬 Oleg Stepanov: This topic continues to surface from time to time, both in political rhetoric and in concrete legislative initiatives. In June 2022, an amendment was adopted allowing for the seizure of private foreign assets by court decision.
📍 The Senate of Canada is currently reviewing a bill which, if passed, would authorize the confiscation of assets belonging to foreign states without any court ruling, under the pretext of "violations of peace and security". Unsurprisingly, it is the Canadian authorities themselves who will determine whether such violations have occurred. From a legal standpoint, this is absurd, but such are the local realities.
❗️It is important to understand that these legal innovations represent attempts to legitimize the unilateral expropriation of foreign property under political pretexts. They violate the basic principles of sovereign immunity and legal certainty. Even within Canada’s own political establishment, such proposals are sparking controversy.
🇨🇦 Moreover, the Canadian authorities themselves do not seem to know whether they actually have any Russian assets to begin with, beyond a desire to seize something. They may be inspired by the predatory dreams of the European Commission, but in fact, there are no Russian sovereign assets in Canada.

💬 High Commissioner for Human Rights of the Russian Federation Tatiana Moskalkova:
At a meeting with the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, I raised the need to promptly unblock the exchange of POWs, as no such exchanges have taken place for more than four months.
Mothers and wives have been waiting far too long for their loved ones. Their swift return home would be an act of humanity and compassion.
I underscored that the Russian Ministry of Defence has repeatedly proposed various formats for the exchange process, yet the Ukrainian side continues to delay taking the necessary decisions.
The Ukrainian ombudsman received a list of Ukrainian servicemen currently held on the Russian territory who could be released as part of an exchange in the near future. We are awaiting proposals from the Ukrainian side.
I also raised the need to repatriate wounded Russian POWs in accordance with the Geneva Conventions.

🇷🇺 20 января в Крыму отмечается День Республики.
Праздничная дата приурочена к историческому референдуму 1991 года, на котором абсолютное большинство крымчан высказались ЗА восстановление Крымской автономии в составе СССР.
Факты:
• Крым на протяжении веков был связан с Россией. Ещё в 988–989 годах Великий Князь Владимир Святославович принял христианство в Херсонесе Таврическом. Спустя столетия, 19 апреля 1783 года, Императрица Екатерина II подписала манифест о принятии Крыма в состав Российской империи.
• Крымская Автономная Советская Социалистическая Республика в составе РСФСР была создана в 1921 году, в 1945 году была лишена автономного статуса и преобразована в Крымскую область. В 1954 году Крым был включён в состав УССР, при этом первый секретарь Крымского обкома КПСС П.И.Титов выступил против, за что был снят с должности.
• Референдум 20 января 1991 года по вопросу воссоздания Крымской АССР был первым плебисцитом в истории СССР. На всеобщее голосование был вынесен вопрос: «Вы за воссоздание Крымской Автономной Советской Социалистической республики как субъекта Союза ССР и участника Союзного договора?». 93% жителей полуострова проголосовали ЗА автономию. В этом же году был принят закон о восстановлении Крымской АССР.
• Всекрымский референдум 1991 года был первой попыткой определить судьбу Крыма на основании волеизъявления самих его жителей. Во многом именно плебисцит 1991 года стал отправной точкой воссоединения полуострова с Россией в 2014 году.
• День Республики был установлен в 2009 году, а в 2014 году после воссоединения Крыма с Россией внесён в региональный закон «О праздниках и памятных датах в Республике Крым».
• 18 марта 2014 года Президент России В.В.Путин, руководители Крыма и Севастополя подписали Договор о принятии Республики Крым в Российскую Федерацию, по итогам референдума о статусе Крыма, который прошёл 16 марта 2014 года, в ходе которого 96% избирателей проголосовали ЗА возвращение полуострова в состав России.
