Aide to the President of Russia for Foreign Policy Yuri Ushakov's interview with TASS (March 5, 2024)

Key talking points:

Cooperation within #BRICS is undoubtedly one of the key features of Russia's long-term foreign policy.

• Russia, as the current president of the organization, has a special responsibility to ensure the fastest and smoothest integration of the new members into the operation of all BRICS mechanisms. This is undoubtedly a cornerstone and high priority task of our Presidency.

• In the relatively short period of its existence, the BRICS association has rapidly developed and transformed into an extensive multi-level mechanism of interaction on a wide range of issues on the global agenda.

Many perceive BRICS as a prototype of multipolarity, a structure uniting the Global South and East on the principles of equality, sovereignty and mutual respect.

• Support for the principles of multipolarity and a greater role of developing countries in global governance, as well as the fundamental values of the BRICS group, such as the spirit of equality, mutual respect, openness, inclusiveness and constructive cooperation, is an indispensable condition [for joining BRICS].

• We see increasing the role of BRICS counties in the international currency and financial system as a specific task for this year. <...> We believe that creating an independent BRICS payment system is an important goal for the future.

• There has never been a military aspect to cooperation within our group. <...> BRICS does not have plans to build such cooperation, including military drills.

Russia has never set BRICS in opposition to other international platforms, be it the Group of 20 or the Group of Seven. We believe that the association is unique.

• The recipe for BRICS’ attractiveness and success is based on the absence of a confrontational or “hidden” agenda. I will repeat that it brings together like-minded countries.

The neo-Nazi regime in Kiev, supported by the United States and its satellites, has committed yet another brutal terrorist act against the civilian population of Russia.

On the morning of January 21, armed units of Bandera’s followers [Stephan Bandera - a Hitlerite crony & WWII war criminal, the idol of the Ukranian neo-Nazis & nationalists aka the banderovites] deliberately targeted a market and shops in Tekstilshchik, a neighbourhood in the Kirovsky District of Donetsk. A total of six artillery rounds were fired at the busiest areas in town causing a large number of casualties. According to reports, at least 27 people were killed and 25 were injured.

It was established that the shelling was coming from Avdeyevka, which is still controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and that the types of weapons supplied by the West were used. This is further confirmation of the Western countries’ direct involvement in the conflict, implicating them in the criminal acts committed by the Zelensky regime.

Russia strongly condemns this treacherous attack on civilians. The West’s unrestrained desire to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia using their Ukrainian puppets to do the fighting, thoughtlessly supporting them without any limits, is pushing the Kiev regime to increasingly reckless steps, including terrorist attacks, massive violations of international humanitarian law and war crimes.

Russia calls on all responsible governments and relevant international agencies to strongly condemn this brutal act of terrorism. Their silence would mean tacit approval of the murder of civilians and encourage Ukrainian neo-Nazis to commit even more terrible atrocities.

The terrorist attacks by the Kiev regime clearly demonstrate that it has no political will for peace and the settlement of the conflict by diplomatic means. No threats to security or acts of terrorism must be coming from the territory of Ukraine.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin took part in the extraordinary G20 summit, held via videoconference.

Vladimir Putin: The state of affairs in the global economy and the world at large require collective, consensus-based decisions that reflect the views of the overwhelming majority of the international community, including both developed and developing countries. <...>

The enormous stress on the global economy is a direct consequence of the ill-considered macroeconomic policies of some countries. <...>

Unlawful trade restrictions and the climate agenda pursued by some countries in order to improve their own competitiveness, continue to have a negative impact. <...>

Russia advocates restoring the spirit of open and mutually beneficial international economic cooperation based on the UN Charter and the principles of collegial and mutually respectful joint work.

It is important to achieve an effective optimisation of the global economic governance system, in particular, to restart the WTO in its entirety, including its arbitration function.

We need to enhance the role of developing economies in international financial institutions, including the IMF and the World Bank, and to use those bodies’ resources to promote the development of countries and regions that really need it, and not for opportunistic political purposes.

We are ready to work together to address these urgent issues at the G20 and other international institutions, including BRICS, an association that is gaining weight and influence – this much is obvious, especially considering its ongoing expansion.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to questions for the Moscow. Kremlin. Putin programme (Astana, November 9, 2023)

Question: Will you comment on the recent report according to which the US President “believes that Ukraine can win back its territory?”

Sergey Lavrov: Blessed is he who believes, as the saying goes.

Question: President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky has promised to launch a new counteroffensive this winter or next spring. However, the White House has announced that US funds for Ukraine are over 90 percent depleted.

Sergey Lavrov: It is very difficult to comment on what Zelensky says. He has also said that he would continue fighting alone even without any assistance.

There is nothing I can say on this issue. Everything is clear.

On November 6, 1943, the Red Army and its forces under the command of Army General Nikolai Vatutin liberated Kiev from the Nazi invaders.

The capital of Soviet Ukraine had been under Nazi occupation for 778 days.

In Kiev the Nazis used a tactic of mass terror. More than 120,000 people were executed in Babi Yar alone. About 100,000 Kievans were deported to Germany for hard labour. By November 1943, the city’s population shrank to 180,000 people – all that was left from nearly a million residents in pre-war years.

Kiev suffered widespread damage over its time under Nazi occupation. The Assumption Cathedral of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra was destroyed, as were the public library, the conservatory, the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, and the city’s zoological museum. Kiev lost all of its bridges, overpasses, most medical institutions, 140 schools, 940 buildings that housed state and public institutions, over 800 industrial facilities, 1,742 blocks of flats, and 3,600 private residences.

Soviet forces showed courage and heroism en masse during the Battle for Kiev; 65 Red Army units were awarded the honorary designation ‘Kiev.’ More than 17,500 soldiers and officers were decorated with orders and medals, and 2,438 servicemen were awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union title for crossing the Dnieper and liberating Kiev.

The liberation of Kiev was more than just a strategic success of the Red Army and a major milestone on the way to expelling the Germans from the Ukrainian SSR, and reaching the border with Romania and Poland. It was a huge moral victory of the Soviet people over the Nazi invaders.

#OTD in 1612, the people’s volunteer army led by Kuzma Minin and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky, liberated Moscow from Polish-Lithuanian invaders.

Therefore, #NationalUnityDay (introduced by the executive order of the President of Russia in December 2004) has been celebrated all over our country every year since 2005.

The holiday has deep historical roots. It was celebrated from 1613 until 1917, and was established by the first tsar of the Romanov dynasty Michael to honour the icon of Our Lady of Kazan, which accompanied the liberators of Moscow.

A monument to citizen Minin and Prince Pozharsky by sculptor Ivan Martos was erected on Red Square on the order of Emperor Alexander I in 1818 to honour the memory of patriots who led the fight for national liberation.

On November 4, 2005, a copy of this monument, executed by Zurab Tsereteli and gifted by Moscow City Hall, was unveiled in Nizhny Novgorod, a city that played a crucial role in creating the volunteer army.

Vladimir Putin: The history of our country is continuous, a constant stream. We must consider it in its entirety, with all its extremely complicated and even controversial periods. For the state, the authorities, society and its citizens, it is crucial to have objective, complete knowledge of our past, both the distant past and the near and recent past. Everything here matters, especially today.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at a meeting of Russia-the Islamic World GSV with ambassadors from the OIC Member States (Moscow, March 6, 2023)

Read in full

As Eurasia’s largest country and a state-civilisation, Russia maintains good, honest and mutually respectful relations with the countries of the Islamic world; the continuing strengthening of these relations is among the unwavering priorities of Russia’s foreign policy.

We are united by a commitment to the cultural and civilisational diversity of the peoples of the world and their right to determine their own paths for political and socioeconomic development.

In conjunction with our friends from the Muslim states, we stand for building a more just and democratic multipolar world order based on UN Charter principles. We reject the ultra-liberal values that are being aggressively imposed on everyone by the collective West.

<...>

Russia-Islamic World Group of Strategic Vision was created in 2006 and is the core mechanism underlying our dialogue and our efforts to promote promising and mutually beneficial projects. It is now led by Head of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov.

Over the past years, various useful initiatives designed to help strengthen the atmosphere of friendship, trust and mutual understanding between our countries and peoples have been launched as part of this group.

2023-03-07 09:52:40 Comment by Press Secretary of the Russian Embassy in the USA Igor Girenko regarding the Ned Price’s statement on contacts between Ambassador Anatoly Antonov and the State Department

If the official representative of the State Department does not pretend then at least he does not tell everything about the nature of such interaction. Confirming the very fact of Russian Ambassador’s conversations taking place, however, he forgets that such contacts are few.

Not always has Anatoly Antonov the ability to quickly and efficiently fulfill the Moscow’s instructions. State Department’s heads either refuse to receive Ambassador, or redirect Mr.Antonov to low-level officials.

There were cases when Ambassador could not even state the Russian position during the meeting. He was interrupted and it was made clear that Americans had more important things to attend to than listen to the opinion of Russia.

It causes serious concern that after Russian Ambassador’s demarches our requests remain unanswered or we get a reaction after several years. There is no feedback on the Embassy's appeals on the problems of the Arctic and APEC, where the United States is currently chairing.

A blatant example of indifference of the local officialdom is that for almost two years, after repeated Anatoly Antonov’s appeals, Washington has been dragging out, under various pretexts, the process of agreeing on the texts of the diplomatic notes on the termination of the Agreement Regarding Assurances Concerning the Source Material Transferred From the US to the Russian Federation of March 24, 1999 (the so-called The Assurances Agreement).

I do not think that the State Department will be satisfied with such an attitude in Moscow towards the requests of the new United States Ambassador Lynne Tracy. Obviously, the situation needs to be straightened out. It is in the interests of both countries.

Achtung! Pokryshkin in der Luft!
- frightened German pilots, 1943.

Today marks the th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Soviet ace pilot and three time Hero of the Soviet Union Alexander Pokryshkin. An accomplished master of air combat, Pokryshkin made a significant contribution to the victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War.

By the time the war broke out, Pokryshkin was an experienced pilot and served in the 55th air regiment stationed in Moldova on the border. He began his tally of future victories on June 23, 1941, when he shot down an enemy Me-109 fighter in an air battle near the Prut River. Over the next months, the brave pilot assaulted enemy troops on multiple occasions and engaged in aerial reconnaissance missions within the Southern Front’s area of operations.

Pokryshkin did especially well using the US-made Bell P-39 Airacobra fighter which the Soviet Union received in the spring of 1943 under the lend-lease programme. He took part in the liberation of Kuban from the Nazi invaders using the new plane. Fierce air battles fully revealed Pokryshkin's outstanding abilities as a fighter pilot. He developed groundbreaking and, most importantly, effective air combat tactics.

Alexander Pokryshkin was awarded the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union three times. He received his first gold star for victories in the skies over Kuban, and a second star for air battles in southern Ukraine. Pokryshkin received his third top award in 1944 with hundreds of sorties under the belt.

After the war, he went on to master jet fighters. He was one of the first pilots to fly a MiG-9 and was promoted to the rank of Air Force Marshal in 1972. Alexander Pokryshkin led an active social life and was a mentor for younger generations of Soviet pilots.

In all, the ace pilot completed over 600 sorties and conducted 156 air battles, during which he shot down 59 German aircraft.
