⚡️ Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova’s comment on the incoming reports alleging that the Kiev regime is preparing provocations against the Russian Federation’s nuclear facilities
💬 According to incoming reports, the Kiev regime has launched preparations for an attack targeting the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant.
Russia calls on international organisations, especially the United Nations and the IAEA, to immediately condemn the provocations by the Kiev regime and take action to prevent any threat that would compromise nuclear safety and security of the Kursk NPP, which could lead to a major man-made disaster in Europe.
Moreover, by taking such actions, Kiev not only poses a direct and immediate threat to nuclear stations, but also undermines the IAEA’s tenets regarding nuclear safety and security as articulated by the agency’s head, Rafael Grossi, in 2022.
❗️ The international community must recognise the danger the neo-Nazi Kiev regime poses to the European continent.
Together, we must demonstrate firmness and resolve to thwart any attempts to intimidate and terrorise entire regions and the international community at large.

💬 Maria #Zakharova:
When the US State Department says again that Evan Gershkovich is a journalist and not a spy, think about The Summing Up, the literary memoir of British writer Somerset Maugham (Of Human Bondage, The Moon and Sixpence, Theatre, and The Painted Veil). He was quite outspoken in it about his secret missions:
“I returned to America and shortly afterwards was sent on a mission to Petrograd. I was diffident of accepting the post, which seemed to demand capacities that I did not think I possessed; but there seemed to be no one more competent available at the moment and my being a writer was very good ‘cover’ for what I was asked to do... But I could not miss the opportunity of spending certainly a considerable time in the country of Tolstoi, Dostoievski and Chekov; I had a notion that in the intervals of the work I was being sent to do I could get something for myself that would be of value; so, I set my foot hard on the loud pedal of patriotism and persuaded the physician I consulted that under the tragic circumstances of the moment I was taking no undue risk. I set off in high spirits with unlimited money at my disposal and four devoted Czechs to act as liaison officers between me and Professor Masaryk who had under his control in various parts of Russia something like sixty thousand of his compatriots. I was exhilarated by the responsibility of my position. I went as a private agent, who could be disavowed if necessary, with instructions to get in touch with parties hostile to the government and devise a scheme that would keep Russia in the war and prevent the Bolsheviks, supported by the Central Powers, from seizing power. It is not necessary for me to inform the reader that in this I failed lamentably and I do not ask him to believe me when I state that it seems to me at least possible that if I had been sent six months before I might quite well have succeeded. Three months after my arrival in Petrograd the crash came and put an end to all my plans.
I returned to England. I had had some interesting experiences and had got to know fairly well one of the most extraordinary men I have ever met. This was Boris Savinkov, the terrorist who had assassinated Trepov and the Grand Duke Sergius...”
Maugham wrote openly that he was a British agent sent to Russia to interfere in its internal affairs and to influence the Russian government. It was in 1917, when Russia was amid revolutionary turmoil, and Maugham was sent there as a correspondent of The Daily Telegraph.
He is not the only Anglo-Saxon who worked for British secret services under the guise of a journalist or a writer. Here are some of the others:
- Christopher Marlowe (Doctor Faustus) – and informer and a secret agent for Sir Francis Walsingham, who created Britain’s professional secret service.
- Daniel Defoe (Robinson Crusoe) – a pro-Union spy in Scotland.
- A. A. Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh) – a propaganda writer for MI7, an office of the Directorate of Military Intelligence with responsibilities for press liaison and propaganda, in 1916-1918.
- Graham Greene (The Quiet American) – from 1941 to 1944, he worked for MI6 as a member of the Foreign Office in Sierra Leone and Portugal. After WWII, he was a correspondent of the magazine The New Republic in Indochina.
- Ian Fleming (James Bond) – an officer in the Royal Navy’s Naval Intelligence Department during WWII.
- John le Carré (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) – in 1959, he was transferred to MI6 and spent the next five years working under diplomatic cover in West Germany, first as Second Secretary at the British Embassy in Bonn and later as a political consul in Hamburg.
- Stella Rimington (Dead Line) – Director General of MI5 from 1992 to 1996.
The others who worked at or for Britain’s War Propaganda Bureau, commonly known as Wellington House, in 1914-1918 are H. G. Wells (The War of the Worlds), Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes), and Rudyard Kipling (The Jungle Book), as well as many newspaper editors.
🎙 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova on Kiev regime's crimes:
💬The Kiev regime continues terrorist attacks targeting Russia’s civilian population and infrastructure.
▪️ On April 15-22 alone, the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out over 160 attacks on Gorlovka, Donetsk, Avdeyevka and other communities in the DPR, killing two people and injuring 20.
▪️ On April 20, a pregnant woman was fatally wounded and four other civilians received injuries during the shelling of Novaya Tavolzhanka, a village in the Belgorod Region.
▪️ The Neo-Nazis continue to terrorise medical workers, and attack premises and vehicles used by medical institutions. On April 18, they targeted a blood transfusion station with people inside and city hospital No. 2 in Gorlovka with HIMARS, injuring 14 people, including a five-year-old girl and six health workers. The buildings were severely damaged. Predictably, none of the Western media outlets mentioned any of this.
▪️ On April 19, Ukrainian armed forces deliberately opened fire on an ambulance in Kakhovka, which arrived to help a man injured by shelling. The vehicle was damaged.
▪️ The Bandera’s followers make active use of drones to hunt civilians. An outrageous incident occurred on April 19 in the village of Poroz, Belgorod Region, where two local residents were burned alive in a private house, which caught fire after two explosive devices were dropped from an UAV – a bedridden elderly woman with a hip fracture and a man who provided care for her.
▪️ On April 23, a man received shrapnel wounds to the chest and shoulder in Shebekino, Belgorod Region, as a result of a kamikaze drone attack. On the same day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked a civilian car with an FPV drone, killing four people.
☝️Western media consistently turn a blind eye to these crimes. Worse still, they engage in open propaganda of Ukrainian terrorism.
📰On April 17, The Washington Post published an interview with the chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, who commented on preparations for new raids by the so-called Russian Volunteer Corps and “mass-scale drone attacks” on targets in Russia.
📑The Russian law enforcement agencies have been carefully recording the crimes perpetrated by the Ukrainian neo-Nazis. Not a single atrocity committed by the Kiev regime will be overlooked. All those implicated are being identified and brought to justice.

« Nous considérons comme une ignominie absolue le fait que les chaînes russes soient désormais pratiquement anéanties dans l’espace informationnel. »

✍️ Russia’s MFA Spokeswoman Maria #Zakharova:
According to a report by Sky News, the neo-Nazis of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will participate in the VE Day procession in London on May 8.
The country has not seen anything like this for nearly 90 years since the infamous Cable Street march, when Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists was granted official permission to march through London’s East End in October 1936 – an event widely regarded as a shameful chapter in British history.
At that time, many showed support for the British Fascists in London. There were still nearly two years left until the 1938 Munich Agreement – the example of Britain’s appeasing Hitler. England still demonstrated conscience and dignity as anti-fascist activists and some concerned police officers managed to disrupt the far-right and anti-Semite procession in the city.
But this time, London will actually see them march.
Surprisingly, the British authorities’ rationale behind the decision is the Kiev regime’s confrontation with Russia, which is cited directly by Sky News.
This evokes disturbing historical parallels of Great Britain’s notorious insidiousness.
For instance, Winston Churchill, who took part in the Yalta and Potsdam conferences along with the other Big Three leaders, publicly affirmed the alliance with the USSR while addressing Soviet people and Generalissimo Joseph Stalin, and praised the Red Army’s sacrifices. However – as we all know it now – behind closed doors, he authorised the drafting of Operation Unthinkable, a secret plan for a potential Allied invasion of the Soviet Union.
These plans remained classified for half a century until they were finally released by the British General Staff in 1988. Apparently, MI5 and MI6 thought that the Soviet Union, which was on the verge of collapse at the time, would have its historical memory buried, and the publication of these materials would no longer compromise London.
Britain’s direct armed confrontation with the USSR is nothing new. During the Russian Civil War, British forces participated in the Triple Entente intervention. Less than three decades later, the idea of attacking Russia again resurfaced in London.
In the immediate aftermath of World War II, many in London hoped for the launch of an offensive against the USSR. The fully developed plan assumed the “strategic defeat” of Moscow after the end of the war in Europe.
Historians continue to debate why the British never sent their weapons against Soviet troops in 1945–1946. Some claim that the Conservative Party losing the election was the cause, while others point to fears that such a war against the USSR would crush Western Europe and Britain itself. Perhaps London ultimately recognised the military prowess of the Red Army that had decisively defeated the Nazi war machine and thus could take upon any challenge.
Now, British authorities, unable to achieve their strategic objectives through inflicting the “strategic defeat” and led by despair and hopelessness, have chosen to allow actual Nazis – Ukrainian terrorists and militants armed with British weapons – to march through Trafalgar Square.
The Global Majority will see it as a parade of ideological descendants of Nazis, collaborators, and criminals responsible for the Holocaust and genocide of Soviet people.
In their attempts to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia, the Anglo-Saxons only inflicted a blow on themselves. Few things could be more shameful and humiliating than allowing inglorious neo-Nazi bastards to walk in the heart of London on the anniversary of Victory. Unfortunately, this is the biggest “strategic defeat” ever experienced by the ordinary British.

💬#Zakharova: We confirm facts revealed during the special military operation in Ukraine, which prove that the Kiev regime has been destroying the evidence of military biological programmes Kiev was implementing. They were funded by the US Department of Defence.
We remember how they have been searching for chemical, biological or bacteriological weapons across the globe for years, with exceptional bloody efficacy, invading countries and killing people. Well, you have been searching in all the wrong places. We have found them for you. Your projects, your biological samples, including those for military purposes in the first place, are in Ukraine. What were you doing there? It's a different continent. No common borders. No US bases. What were your specialists doing then under the guise of scientific developments, giving regular instructions to the Ukrainian side?
The world has the right to know what they were going to make there, what their purpose was. The game is over.

🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharovaanswer to a media question about the European Parliament’s latest anti-Russia resolution
❓ Question:On February 8, the European Parliament (EP) approved yet another anti-Russia resolution that contains a number of charges against Russia, including a claim that it is meddling in the “democratic processes in the EU.” What is your comment?
💬 Maria #Zakharova: The Foreign Ministry of Russia usually refrains from commenting on resolutions adopted by the EP. Nevertheless, we find it difficult to ignore the document you mentioned, since it is the latest example of unprecedented hypocrisy and double standards to permeate this European institution.
Bogged down in corruption scandals, the EP has invented a true “manifesto of neo-liberal dictatorship.” It includes “sentences in absentia” with calls to vet all those disagreeing with the self-destructive course pursued by Brussels, endless far-fetched speculations about Russia’s influence, spy hysteria, and other Russophobic paranoid trash. Any dissent is automatically interpreted as a sign of “pro-Kremlin sentiment.” Looks like the Ministry of Truth, doesn’t it?
☝️ At the same time, it is quite clear that the resolution is mostly intended to impose the terms of what is in fact a “cartel agreement” among representatives of the liberal pro-American political mainstream, designed to prevent nationally oriented parties and movements from gaining a stronger foothold in the EP in the future.
Their fears have some merit. The socioeconomic situation in the EU is clearly unsatisfactory <...> This is the reason alternative political forces are gaining strength, as is evident from numerous European opinion polls.
👉 Thus, they are using the alleged “Russian threat” as a pretext to mop up the political landscape and cleanse it of unnerving and increasingly dangerous rivals.
❗️ As for their accusations that Russia is meddling in “democratic processes,” they are absurd by definition.
