The Kiev regime war crimes are appalling.

Among the most atrocious acts, mirroring the inhumane NeoNazi ideology reigning in today's Ukraine, are the murder and brutal treatment of the Russian POWs.

There is no shortage of hard evidence, including verified footage and video sources. Yet the West and its sponsored NGOs turn a blind eye to the atrocities.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's remarks at the ambassadorial roundtable discussion of Ukraine crisis settlement (Moscow, September 12, 2024)

Key talking points

• The offensive weapons used for such terrorist attacks have been supplied by the West. When sending these weapons, the West says that the Kiev regime can use them as it sees fit, and that these weapons cease to be Western as soon as they cross the border and are accepted by the Ukrainian army.

• There is no doubt whatsoever that the decision to lift restrictions on the use of long-range weapons on targets inside Russia was taken long ago, and now they are only trying to find the most suitable, acceptable and elegant way of presenting it to the public.

• In addition to providing increasingly long-range weapons, NATO also supplies Kiev with data from its military space intelligence. This intelligence is used to locate and strike targets deep within Russian territory, including residential buildings, life-support facilities, energy and industrial infrastructure, and social facilities such as schools, kindergartens, and clinics.

• Western military specialists are literally coordinating the strikes on civilian targets in real time, using high-precision weapons. The planning and programming of flight missions are carried out by instructors and representatives from NATO countries that supply these weapons to Kiev. Our experts are confident that without such specialist involvement, it would be impossible to use these complex systems. These tasks can only be performed by professionals who have worked with these systems for a long time and know how to operate them.

• Ukrainian special services, with the help of their Western patrons, are simultaneously actively involving radical Islamists in terrorist activities. We would like to thank everyone present here for their condolences in connection with the March 22, 2024 terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert facility, which claimed the lives of 145 people. The ongoing investigation has already uncovered evidence that the main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry was involved in preparing the attack. Specifically, the escape routes for the perpetrators through the Russian-Ukrainian border were meticulously mapped out. This is not the only time when Ukrainian special services enlisted radical Islamists in the preparation and execution of terrorist attacks.

• We have recently received information that “emissaries” from the Ukrainian intelligence service are present in the Idlib de-escalation zone within the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic. They are recruiting local militants from Jabhat Al-Nusra, now known as Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham, with the intention of involving them in nefarious operations.

Nuclear terrorism has become Ukraine’s chief trademark. You certainly must be following the reports about attacks and attempted attacks at the Leningrad, Kalinin, Kursk and Zaporozhye nuclear power plants. The Zaporozhye plant was on the verge of disaster on August 11 of this year, when the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired at it, igniting one of the two cooling towers. The fire seriously damaged the facility. This is a grave situation.

• Tensions are riding high in the area adjoining the Kursk nuclear power plant. During his August 27 visit to the facility, #IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi saw for himself the traces of Ukrainian criminal drone assaults. Yet, Kiev does not conceal that the Kursk nuclear power plant was a target of their deliberate attacks.

• The Kiev regime continues to terrorise its own citizens as well. On August 20 of this year, they approved a bill that actually outlaws (with several months delay) the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

🗓 On September 12, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov took part in a roundtable discussion titled “The Ukraine Crisis: Terrorist Methods of the Kiev Regime.” The event involved ambassadors and representatives from 72 diplomatic missions of Global Majority states, accredited in Moscow, and international organisations.

In his remarks, the Minister noted that the Kiev regime was not even trying to hide its terrorist essence, with the connivance and direct support of Western patrons. After failing to defeat our country on the battlefield, Kiev has focused on criminal attacks against civilian facilities; it is futilely trying to cause a maximum public outcry, to destabilise the work of Russia’s state agencies and sow panic among people.

At the same time, the “collective West” continues to supply the Kiev regime with attack weapons and give it a carte blanche to use them on Russian territory against peaceful residents and civilian infrastructure facilities.

Numerous facts of terrorist attacks, including those against nuclear power plants, were mentioned. Information about Kiev’s role in organising a terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert facility, as well as the crimes of Ukrainian neo-Nazis in the Kursk Region, was provided separately.

The event participants discussed the Kiev regime’s support for international terrorism on the African continent, the investigation of attacks that wrecked the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines and Kiev’s attempts to blackmail its European partners by shutting down oil transits.

The Minister touched upon numerous facts of the Kiev regime’s efforts to terrorise its own population, specifically, the eradication of all things Russian, including the Russian language, and persecution of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

The event participants gained an insight into the Foreign Ministry’s report on the terrorist crimes committed by the Kiev regime.

The Minister also touched upon other issues, including prospects for a negotiating process to resolve the Ukraine crisis and food security, and he also replied to questions from participants in the roundtable discussion.

#KievRegimeCrimes

❗️ The Foreign Ministry's Ambassador-at-Large on the Kiev Regime's War Crimes Rodion Miroshnik continues to meticulously record the most heinous crimes of the Kiev regime.

📖 Another digest focuses on the war crimes and terrorist acts of the Kiev regime in the Kursk Oblast.

On the night of August 5-6, AFU militants opened a massive mixed fire on the Kursk Oblast using aviation, UAVs, precision attack missiles, rocket and cannon artillery. <...> At about 6 a.m., the first units of Ukrainian militants crossed the state border of the Russian Federation at several sections and subsequently entered a number of towns and settlements.

The attacks were launched deliberately, in blatant disregard for international humanitarian law (IHL). From the outset of the foray, private houses and residential buildings, healthcare and education institutions, premises of local authorities and social institutions were hit.

On 6-10 August, AFU militants expanded their presence in the Kursk Oblast and deployed additional forces to gain a foothold in a number of settlements in the Sudzha and Korenevo districts. The Ukrainian military's actions in these territories can be qualified as punitive.

Between August 12 and 17, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation managed to achieve a considerable stabilization in the border areas of the Kursk Oblast. By that time, the Defence Ministry of the Russian Federation had drawn the full list of Ukrainian units involved in the terrorist attack against the Kursk Oblast.

According to highly reliable reports, militants of radical nationalist units such as Nachtigall were dispatched to the Kursk Oblast. There is evidence of the presence of Polish and Canadian mercenaries as well as fighters of the so-called "Georgian Legion" on the ground.

☝️ On 17 August, the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation confirmed that the seizure and damage of radiation hazard facilities forming part of the Kursk NPP had been one of the objectives of the AFU terrorist attack against the Kursk Oblast. The official regional authorities reported attempted strikes on the Kursk NPP with Tochka U missiles and combat fixed-wing UAVs as well as
MLRS systems.

Noteworthy is the fact that most AFU units involved in the foray into the territory of the Kursk Oblast, used intelligence obtained by Kiev from its "Western partners" and were equipped with NATO hardware and means of communication, while the soldiers used Western-model small arms.

▪️ According to the operations headquarters in the Kursk Oblast, as of the evening of 5 September, 31 people were killed and 236 civilians including 11 children were wounded in the AFU attacks.

During their foray, Ukrainian militants committed a number of war crimes against the civilian population of the attacked Russian border territories, including:

• the killing and wounding of civilians,
• violence, including sexual violence, against civilians,
• taking hostages and using civilians as human shields,
• looting and destroying private property in the captured territories,
• obstructing evacuation.

🎙 Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov’s address at the opening of the BRICS Media Summit (September 14, 2024)

Unofficial translation

💬 In a rapidly changing world order, BRICS increasingly acts as an innovatory interaction format uniting countries <...> with different political and economic systems, often with divergent views on certain aspects on the global agenda.

Key takeaways:

• During the years of joint work since about 2008, they have developed a special dialogue culture as well as open and confidential relations based on the principles of sovereign equality, respect for the choice of their own development path and unconditional account of each other’s interests.

• This form of cooperation is intended to become a model of equal interstate communication. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible at all, to find answers to the challenges facing the world. There is no room for coercion or imposing alien priorities.

• BRICS is gradually turning to a centre of attraction for the Global South and East, which increasingly expresses the genuine interests of the World Majority.

• As new states join the BRICS, one of the unconditional priorities of collective work is to consolidate partnership within the association.

• We pay special attention to the development of interaction with the developing countries of the Global South and East. We are trying to attract them to various formats and mechanisms.

• Our efforts are undoubtedly focused on promoting favourable conditions for the progressive development of Russia and other BRICS nations.

• We expect that the media will make a tangible contribution to the success and unbiased coverage of the BRICS Summit (Kazan, October 22-24) and other events held by the association.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry Official Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on the US’s most recent restrictions on Russian media

💬 As the United States continues to pursue a strict policy of total extermination of any dissent, the country launched another wave of restrictions against the Russian media and journalists.

On September 13, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced new sanctions against two Russian media holding companies, Rossiya Segodnya (RIA Novosti and Sriaputnik), autonomous non-profit organisation TV-Novosti (RT television channel and Ruptly video agency) and Eurasia NGO. The designations include Director General of Rossiya Segodnya Dmitry Kiselev and Head of Eurasia Nelly Parutenko. Importantly, the previous round of sanctions was announced just a few days ago, on September 4. At that time, restrictive measures were imposed against the same media outlets and RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan, as well as a number of other RT employees.

The US law enforcement agencies have joined the persecution of Russian journalists with particular zeal. The house of an RT journalist was recently searched by about 20 FBI agents, who also subjected the Russian woman to humiliating procedures, in a blatant manifestation of lawlessness sanctioned from above. The Russian channel employee had to hastily leave the country fearing for her safety and health. More far-fetched charges have been brought against a number of Russian media employees and even US citizens who had the courage to appear on Russian media broadcasts. If arrested, they may face long prison sentences.

The current US administration is trying to justify the unprecedented repression against the Russian media in an extremely cynical manner by fighting against their “interference” in domestic political affairs. In fact, what we are witnessing is another politically motivated campaign, a witch hunt where deliberately fostered fear and spy mania are used by the ruling circles in the United States to manipulate public opinion and shield the population from any unwanted information.

☝️ Moreover, this time, Washington is trying to pose as the “guardian” of social stability and the integrity of democratic processes, while using totalitarian censorship practices not only in the country, but also far beyond its borders. Having finally trampled on its international obligations to ensure the pluralism of opinion and even the provisions of its own Constitution, the United States has actually declared war on freedom of speech around the world, now resorting to open threats and blackmail against other states in its effort to pitch them against the Russian media and establish sole control over the global information landscape.

They seem unable to come to terms with the growing popularity of Russian media in many countries as opposed to the one-sided and false picture of what is happening around the world painted by the Western mainstream media. This is Washington’s way to extend the notorious Monroe Doctrine to the media sphere.

We harbour no illusions about the rampant censorship in the United States ever being given a proper assessment by the relevant international organisations, whose activity is orchestrated by Washington. At the same time, we qualify their silence as approval of this practice and de facto complicity in the lawless actions against the Russian media.

❗️The actions of the American administration will not go unanswered.

✉️ Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s greetings to organisers, participants and guests of the 22nd 'Amur Autumn' International Film and Theatre Festival

✍️ I would like to extend warm greetings to the organisers, participants and guests of the 22nd Amur Autumn International Film and Theatre Festival.

Over more than two decades of its existence, your festival has garnered well-deserved acclaim as one of the key cultural events in the Russian Far East. It has become a popular platform for promoting the Russian cinema and theatre industry.

I am delighted to note that the programme of the Amur Autumn festival is becoming more diverse, involving an increasing number of participants and expanding its geographical reach. This year, the festival will host the first international contest of short and full-length feature films, featuring representatives of Asian and CIS countries.

This year’s festival holds special significance in the context of the cross years of culture between Russia and China, as well as the celebrations of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between our countries. I am convinced that this event will make a meaningful contribution to the development of Russian-Chinese cultural and humanitarian cooperation and to strengthening the friendship and neighbourly relations between our nations.

🤝 I wish the organisers and participants continued success in reaching new creative heights, and the audience an unforgettable and inspiring experience.

#UNGA79

On September 10, the 79th Session of the UN General Assembly commenced. The Russian delegation is led by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. On September 28, he is scheduled to deliver remarks during the high-level General Debate, to be held on September 24−30.

Just as our partners in the Global Majority, we are committed to upholding the primacy of the goals and principles of the UN Charter in their entirety and interconnectivity. We will carry on our coordinated efforts against the West’s neo-colonial practices.

#Ukraine #KievRegimeCrimes

I cannot say that these crimes are on the conscience of the Kiev regime because they don’t have a conscience, just like their Western patrons. They are responsible for these crimes. What we should talk about in this case is not conscience but terrorism. The Russian law enforcement agencies register every crime, and those who commit them will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

We call on the relevant international organisations to face up to these and other crimes committed by the Kiev regime, including terrorist attacks, and to respond to them appropriately.

#RussiaChina

Modern Russian-Chinese relations are a more advanced form of interstate ties compared to the military-political alliances of the Cold War era. There is no bloc or confrontational focus in them; they are not directed at third countries. This is really important.

We regard each other as priority foreign policy partners. Moscow and Beijing’s positions on the fundamental aspects of the modern world order and key international issues coincide or are very similar.
