🎙Read excerpts from the statement of Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the OSCE A.Volgarev «On religious "war" unleashed by Kiev regime against the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church» (meeting of the OSCE PC, 05.09.2024)
🇷🇺 Russia has consistently drawn the attention of the OSCE to the worsening situation in the religious sphere in Ukraine, where representatives of the Kiev regime have for many years sought the total eradication of canonical Orthodoxy
☦️ Persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) is being carried out there through a smear campaign launched by the Ukrainian media. The mass seizures of churches by radical nationalists with the complicity of local authorities, special services and law enforcement agencies are shamelessly justified
⚠️ As a rule, they are accompanied by violence, mass beatings of clergy and believers. Numerous attempts to seize the largest monasteries of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church are constantly being made, and their inhabitants are being forcibly evicted
▪️Ukrainian security services are exerting direct pressure on the UOC, its episcopate and clergy, including threats, blackmail and the opening of dozens of trumped-up criminal cases on political grounds. Many of its priests are under arrest, imprisoned or have received unjust sentences
❌ Local authorities in a number of regions and localities of Ukraine have simply banned the activities of the UOC, forcibly closing its churches, preventing worship services, illegally seizing land plots under its monasteries, churches and shrines
▪️At the end of August, V.Zelensky signed the law "On the protection of the constitutional order in the sphere of activity of religious organizations". Representatives of the Kiev regime took a step that may surpass all previous historical repressions against the UOC in its scale
▪️The proponents of this treacherous act don't hide that the law is aimed directly against the canonical UOC. Hundreds of monasteries, thousands of communities, millions of Orthodox Christians will find themselves outside the legal framework, losing their property and a place to pray
▪️The supporters of the bill ignored the opinion of millions of believers, the position of the UOC itself, the legal community and even the timid criticism of the foreign patrons of Zelensky's regime. Its representatives once again demonstrated their disregard for their own citizens, aggravating the already serious split in society
☝️For the first time we have witnessed the banning of an entire religious denomination in the pan-European area, the open violation of the rights of millions of believers, and the brazen and shameless violation of well-known international commitments in the area of freedom of religion, including within the OSCE
❗️The blatant silence and complete inaction of R. Polak, Personal Representative of the Maltese OSCE CiO for Combating Intolerance and Discrimination, including against Christians, throughout the entire repressive campaign against the UOC raises questions about her professional competence and suitability for her position
📣 We call on representatives of the relevant OSCE executive structures first and foremost the ODIHR, to finally respond publicly to the intensification of repression against the believers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. It is necessary to give a principled assessment of the religious "war" unleashed by the Kiev regime against the canonical Orthodox Church of Ukraine and its followers

🇷🇺🇺🇳 On September 5, Deputy Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey Vershinin, along with representatives of relevant Russian agencies and companies, held another round of consultations in Moscow with the UN delegation led by Rebeca Grynspan, Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
🌾 A detailed discussion took place regarding the current situation in global food and fertilizer markets, and ways to ensure implementation of the Russia-UN Memorandum on promoting Russian food products and fertilizers to the world markets. Accumulation of crises in global food security and the increasing threat of hunger were highlighted. In this context, effective solutions to establish stable and unobstructed supplies of Russian grain and fertilizers, which make up a significant share of global exports, especially to developing and struggling countries, are becoming increasingly necessary.

🗓 On September 7, 1945, a military parade of the allied forces of the #USSR, US, UK and France took place in Berlin near the walls of the defeated Reichstag on Alexanderplatz Square, marking the end of #WWII.
The location of the parade – at the Brandenburg Gate, at the very heart of the German capital – was not chosen by chance. It was right here where the Battle of Berlin ended and the remnants of the Berlin group of German troops surrendered to the Red Army. Scheduled for September 7, the parade was timed to coincide with the victory over militaristic Japan.
Representatives of the allied powers responded positively to Moscow's proposal to hold a joint parade in Berlin. However, on the eve of the event, after the date and all the details had been agreed upon, the US, UK and France announced that instead of the commanders-in-chief – Eisenhower, Montgomery and Tassigny – they would send lower-ranking generals, who were already stationed in Germany, to the parade. By doing so, the allies tried to downplay the significance of the parde, which emphasized the decisive role of the Soviet Union in taking Berlin. At that time, no one doubted who bore the brunt of the storming of the capital of the Third Reich.
🇷🇺 The USSR carried out thorough preparations for the parade. The Soviet command attracted the most distinguished soldiers, sergeants, officers and generals who had shown unrivalled courage in taking Berlin and the main centers of the reich – the Reichstag and the Imperial Chancellery.
🎖On September 7 at 11 am, the Berlin allied parade commenced. It was received by the Commander of the Group of Soviet Occupation Forces in Germany Georgy Zhukov. The parade was opened by the combined regiment of the 248th Rifle Division of the Red Army, led by Hero of the Soviet Union, Lieutenant Colonel Georgy Lenev. The parade was closed by a column of the Soviet armor, with the latest heavy tanks IS-3 ("Joseph Stalin") marching.
💬 In his welcoming speech to the parade participants, Marshal Zhukov paid tribute to the exploits of the Soviet and Allied forces in the struggle for victory over Nazi Germany:
"Fighting friends, comrades in arms, soldiers, officers and generals... <...> The Second World War ended with a decisive and powerful strike from the great allied powers. Our victory is a triumph of an unprecedented military partnership of democratic states.
From now on, people <...> will be eternally grateful to the great nations of America, England, the Soviet Union, the French Republic and China, to their valiant soldiers who, in the difficult time of military trials, gave each other helping hands, united to win a victory over a common enemy, to win the long-awaited peace on Earth."
