The #US claims to have successfully countered the expansion of influence of #Russia and #China. Methods used to ensure such “countering” are quite indicative, to say nothing of the fact that this sort of goal-setting looks rather objectionable in the present-day multipolar world. https://t.co/VjUDcc5fvi

#Nebenzia: Hadn't it been for our Western colleagues who provoked and supported the unconstitutional coup in🇺🇦in 2014 that gave power to nationalists, radicals, Russophobes, and Nazis, #Russia and #Ukraine 'd have lived as good neighbors engaged in mutually beneficial cooperation https://t.co/n4JzGyFdO3

#Nebenzia at SC meeting on #Ukraine: Since we're gathered here at the initiative of our 🇺🇸friends, we'd like them to provide proof, other than their allegations, that #Russia is going to invade Ukraine. My 🇺🇸colleague blamed Russia for being aggressive while citing no single fact https://t.co/Hn4KG5d3St

#Nebenzia: 🇺🇸 threatens 🇷🇺 with so called horrific or hell sanctions. The most ironic thing about it is that #US now is talking about #sanctions before anything happens. The paradox is that #Ukraine is not implementing the Minsk Agreements, but #Russia is being punished for it. https://t.co/8kD0yq2qai

#Zakharova: By all means we'll publish more material about the legal grounds for #Russia's UN & #UNSC membership. We will make references to all the relevant documents to make sure that not a single permanent representative of #Ukraine will dare to utter this kind of lie anymore.

#Polyanskiy: Mr.Kyslytsya obviously tries to create “a mystery” or “sensation” out of thin air. First, you don’t need to go to the #UN Secretariat to learn about the status of #Russia as the “État-continuateur” of the #SovietUnion. There are no secrets or conspiracies whatsoever. https://t.co/gR0ld8HIWd

#Polyanskiy to #BBC:🇺🇦has itself to blame that it lost #Crimea. Because it didn’t want a dialogue with its citizens after the #Maidan coup. There was a referendum and the population of this territory decided to join🇷🇺. They first declared independence and then joined #Russia. https://t.co/0WZYRWCIdC

🇷🇺 Investigative Committee and @RT_com launched a joint project covering war crimes committed during armed conflict in 🇺🇦. #Russia circulated those materials in UNSC before meeting on #Ukraine. Those are shocking stories, but 🌍 should know about them. ➡️https://t.co/XG0FtiDn2U https://t.co/SSyH4OV5ez

#Nebenzia: In this context, we commend the activity of #Baghdad-based four-lateral Information Center, where the military of #Russia, #Iraq, #Iran and #Syria take part. This mechanism does the important work coordinating counter-terrorism steps in Iraq & Syria. @mfa_russia https://t.co/N1qvbZldWr

#Nebenzia: For us, Ukraine’s accession to NATO is a “red line”, first of all due to military and strategic considerations. Placement of NATO infrastructure on #Ukrainian soil would make us retaliate which would inevitably put #Russia and #NATO on the verge of #conflict. https://t.co/Rso3fM9pXX
