🇺🇳 The Group of Friends in Defense of the UN Charter - Geneva Chapter - gathered on March 17, 2023, for its inaugural meeting.
🎙 Ambassador Gennady Gatilov:
🤝 Our nations share a strong commitment to the universal norms of international law enshrined in the UN Charter, including the principles of sovereign equality of States and non-interference in their domestic affairs.
❗️ At the same time, it is clear that the members of the “collective West” are casting these principles aside. They promote the notorious “rules-based world order”. This concept rests on arbitrary interpretation of the norms of inter-government interaction and seeks to undermine the central coordinating role of the UN in international affairs.
👉 The West also attempts to impose its own vision of the “perfect world development” by imposing unilateral sanctions. It destructively attempts to turn the UN into a tool to artificially inflate anti-Russian hysteria and reinforce hostile sentiments towards the countries in our Group.

❗️ The Russian Side has agreed to extend the Black Sea Initiative just for 60 days (instead of 120), until May 18, 2023, to achieve progress on the Russia-UN Memorandum on promoting Russian food products and fertilizers to the world markets.
🤷🏻 Any rumors about “120 days” spread by the Ukrainian Side is either incompetence or deliberate disinformation.

On February 22, 2023, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Karim Ahmad Khan, acting as part of a criminal investigation, submitted applications to Pre-Trial Chamber II of the International Criminal Court for warrants of arrest in relation to citizens of the Russian Federation.
Based on this application, the above-named judges of the International Criminal Court issued illegal arrest warrants in relation to the President of the Russian Federation and the Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights.
This criminal prosecution is illegal by definition because there are no grounds for bringing criminal charges.

Actions by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court contain elements of offences as per Part 2, Article 299, Part 1, Article 30, and Part 2, Article 360 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, including knowingly ascribing criminal responsibility to an innocent person, combined with unlawfully accusing a person of committing a grave or especially grave crime, as well as preparing an assault against a representative of a foreign state benefitting from international protection with a view to complicating international relations.
Actions by the judges of the International Criminal Court contain elements of offences as per Part 2, Article 301, Part 1, Article 30, and Part 2, Article 360 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, including knowingly illegal detention, as well as preparing an assault against a representative of a foreign state benefitting from international protection with a view to complicating international relations.

📄 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin’s Article for People’s Daily Newspaper, «Russia and China: A Future-Bound Partnership» 🇷🇺🇨🇳
March 19, 2023
READ IN FULL (original on Kremlin.ru)
💬 I am glad to seize this opportunity to address the friendly Chinese people in one of the largest and most authoritative world media in advance of the state visit of President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping to Russia. This landmark event reaffirms the special nature of the Russia-China partnership, which has always been built on mutual trust, respect for each other's sovereignty and interests.
We have high expectations for the upcoming talks. We have no doubt that they will give a new powerful impetus to our bilateral cooperation in its entirety. This is also a great opportunity for me to meet with my good old friend with whom we enjoy the warmest relationship. <...>
🤝 The firm friendship between Russia and China is consistently growing stronger for the benefit and in the interest of our countries and peoples. The progress made in the development of bilateral ties is impressive.
The Russia-China relations have reached the highest level in their history and are gaining even more strength; they surpass Cold War-time military-political alliances in their quality, with no one to constantly order and no one to constantly obey, without limitations or taboos.
We have reached an unprecedented level of trust in our political dialogue, our strategic cooperation has become truly comprehensive in nature and is standing on the brink of a new era. President Xi Jinping and I have met about 40 times and have always found time and opportunity to talk in a variety of official formats as well as at no‑tie events. <...>
Unlike some countries claiming hegemony and bringing discord to the global harmony, Russia and China are literally and figuratively building bridges. Last year our border regions were connected by two new bridge crossings over the Amur river, which has been a ”river of friendship“ since time immemorial. Amidst the ”waves and winds“ that sweep the planet, we closely cooperate in international affairs and effectively coordinate our foreign policy positions, counter common threats, and respond to current challenges, standing shoulder to shoulder as a ”rock amid a fast flowing stream.“
We actively promote democratic multilateral structures such as the #SCO and #BRICS, which become more and more authoritative and influential and attract new partners and friends. The work aimed at coordinating the development of the Eurasian Economic Union with the One Belt, One Road Initiative also goes in this vein.
❗️ Our countries, together with like-minded actors, have consistently advocated the shaping of a more just multipolar world order based on international law rather than certain ”rules“ serving the needs of the ”golden billion.“ Russia and China have consistently worked to create an equitable, open and inclusive regional and global security system that is not directed against third countries. In this regard, we note the constructive role of China's Global Security Initiative, which is in line with the Russian approaches in this area.
We can feel the geopolitical landscape in the outside world change dramatically. Sticking more stubbornly than ever to its obsolete dogmata and vanishing dominance, the ”Collective West“ is gambling on the fates of entire states and peoples. The US's policy of simultaneously deterring Russia and China, as well as all those who do not bend to the American dictation, is getting ever more fierce and aggressive.
The international security and cooperation architecture is being dismantled. Russia has been labelled an ”immediate threat“ and China a ”strategic competitor.“ <...>
🇷🇺🇨🇳 I am convinced that our friendship and partnership based on the strategic choice of the peoples of the two countries will further grow and gain strength for the well-being and prosperity of Russia and China.
This visit of the President of the PRC to Russia will undoubtedly contribute to that.

💬 Рад возможности со страниц одного из крупнейших и наиболее авторитетных мировых изданий обратиться к дружественному китайскому народу в преддверии государственного визита в Россию Председателя КНР Си Цзиньпина.
🤝 Это значимое событие вновь подтверждает особый характер российско-китайского партнёрства, которое всегда строилось на взаимном доверии, уважении суверенитета и интересов друг друга.
Прогресс, достигнутый в двусторонних связях, впечатляет. Российско-китайские отношения вышли на наивысший за всю их историю уровень и продолжают крепнуть, по своему качеству они превосходят военно-политические союзы времён холодной войны, в них нет ведущего и ведомого, нет каких-либо ограничителей или запретных тем.
Наш политический диалог стал предельно доверительным, стратегическое взаимодействие – всеобъемлющим и вступающим в новую эпоху.
🌐 Среди «волн и ветров» на планете мы тесно взаимодействуем в международных делах и, стоя плечом к плечу, «как скала посреди бурного потока», эффективно координируем внешнеполитические позиции, боремся с общими угрозами, реагируем на современные вызовы.
Россия и Китай последовательно работают в интересах создания равноправной, открытой, инклюзивной, не направленной против третьих стран системы безопасности в регионе и мире в целом.
Признательны за взвешенную линию КНР в связи с происходящими на Украине событиями, за понимание их предыстории и подлинных причин. Приветствуем готовность Китая сыграть конструктивную роль в деле урегулирования кризиса.
Уверен, что наша дружба и партнёрство, основывающиеся на стратегическом выборе народов двух стран, продолжат расти и крепнуть во имя благополучия и процветания России и Китая. И этому, несомненно, будет способствовать нынешний визит в Россию Председателя КНР.

❗️For this reason the sanctions will be maintained until the moment when the EU decides to revise its policy and Russia allows this to happen (probably, not for sure)
