❗️ О «разъяснениях» Еврокомиссии к ранее введенному запрету на ввоз в ЕС товаров российского происхождения 👉 «Разъяснения» Еврокомиссии к ранее введенному запрету на ввоз в ЕС товаров российского происхождения – уже не первая антироссийская акция. Запрет на прямое авиасообщение, ужесточение визовой практики, теперь эти «разъяснения» по санкциям, которые находятся за гранью абсурда, направлены на нанесение ущерба именно простым россиянам, на то, чтобы фактически сделать гражданам России невозможным въезд в Евросоюз. В связи с большим числом поступающих обращений российских граждан и находящихся за рубежом соотечественников вновь акцентируем необходимость тщательно взвешивать все риски при планировании поездок за границу и пребывании в недружественных странах, внимательно следить за предупреждениями МИД России и российских заграничных учреждений, проявлять повышенную бдительность и выдержку. Учитывать, что при пересечении границы физическое лицо добровольно передает себя под иностранную юрисдикцию, что предполагает обязанность соблюдать законы и нормы страны посещения. ⚠️ В круглосуточном режиме работают оперативные дежурные Департамента Ситуационно-кризисный центр МИД России, которым российские граждане, оказавшиеся в затруднительном положении за рубежом, могут передать всю информацию по телефону: +7 (495) 695-45-45 и e-mail: [email protected]. Рекомендуется также обращаться к русскоязычным адвокатам, которые могли бы оказать практическую помощь в трудной ситуации. Соответствующие списки юристов размещены на интернет-ресурсах МИД России – Консульского департамента, Департамента Ситуационно-кризисный центр и заграничных учреждений. ❗️ МИД России и российские загранучреждения будут внимательно отслеживать развитие ситуации в режиме реального времени и определять в отношении каждой конкретной страны дальнейшие шаги на основе анализа действий её официальных представителей.

#AntiFake 📃 Winston Churchill once quipped that a fanatic is someone “who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject”. Behold Boris Johnson, the former UK Prime Minister, and his article in the Spectator magazine, captivating in its bluntness. Already the title gives the author away: “Bombshell. Why don’t we give Ukraine what it needs?”. <...> The editors of the Spectator accurately captured the essence of the ex-Prime Minister’s desperately Russophobic and militaristic rant. His article is quite purposefully accompaned by a caricature depicting Johnson atop an attack drone. Seemingly absent-minded that five years ago he professed to be a “committed Russophile” Johnson praises AFU units for their readiness to “kill Russians.” The bogus “crocodile tears” over staggering Ukrainian losses, however, do not prevent Johnson from coldly stating: the objective of containing Russia (along with China) justifies the “relatively trivial outlay” for sustaining Kiev. <...> ❗️ Johnson slips up – in his worked-up emotions he notes the presence in Ukraine of “the most powerful modern nationalism” the world has seen. He fails to detect the discrepancy. Although, we should add, the world has Ukrainian nationalism, painstakingly nurtured by the West, to “thank” for scenes of the blazing Trade union house in Odessa, the torchlight processions of the “Azov” butchers in Kiev and the dead women and children of Donbass, killed by AFU fire. Perhaps Johnson is not familiar with the term “blood PR”. But in fact, this is precisely what he is doing, profiteering from the plight of ordinary Ukrainians, who are sent en masse to their deaths by the criminal Kiev clique on the whim of Western politicos like him. ☝️ A more fitting subject for an essay by the former Prime Minister might be his own role in stoking and manipulating the Ukraine conflict in order to drag out the ignominious end to his odious political career.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Russia's position at the seventy-eighth session of the UN General Assembly: Drug problem The world drug problem has exacerbated during the COVID‑19 pandemic and remains a serious threat to the security and well-being of populations. We call for equal attention to its three interrelated components: • reducing drug demand • reducing drug supply • strengthening the international anti-drug cooperation based on the principle of common and shared responsibility Strict compliance with the three relevant UN conventions of 1961,1971 and 1988 by all states is essential for the effective functioning of the global drug control system. ❗️ We consider all attempts to destabilize it, including the legalization of drugs for recreational use, to be a threat to the national security of our country. The principle of limiting the use of drugs to medical and scientific purposes only, as enshrined in the conventions, represents the best way to implement the human rights to life and health. ☝️ We advocate for building a society free of drug abuse by promoting healthy lifestyles and keeping children and youth away from illicit drugs. Countering the illicit drug use should not limit the availability and accessibility of narcotic drugs in medicine when they are proven effective for the treatment of specific diseases. #UNGA78

🎙 President Vladimir Putin’s address at the Plenary Session of the 8th Eastern Economic Forum (September 12, 2023) From the QA session: The historical memory of the nations with which we were friendly, cooperated and helped in their development has been preserved. It will not be difficult to restore our relations based on the new principles, because people in these countries want this. I am referring to Laos, where we see many friends, the Asia-Pacific region as a whole and Africa. The main point is that we have never acted as colonisers anywhere. Our cooperation has always been based on equality or a desire to provide help and support. The countries that are trying to compete with us, including now, had a completely different policy. *** I find it difficult to say what to expect from a new President [of the US], whoever it may be. It is unlikely, though, that any crucial change will take place, because the current authorities have conditioned American society to be anti-Russia in nature and spirit. *** Whenever Russia raised its head and emerged as a real geopolitical competitor, and I am talking about competition here and nothing else, Russia instantly came up against someone’s containment policies. By the same token, the West is seeking to contain China. This is not just about China. There is also India, as well as Indonesia. New centres of power will emerge, and in their efforts to contain these processes certain Western countries, led by the US, will do nothing but hurt themselves. *** That in recent years we have indeed reached an unprecedented level in our relations [with China]. This applies to our interactions in all their aspects. But here is an interesting fact: We are not creating any military alliance or trying to use our friendship against anyone. Our friendship is designed to serve our people. This is the way for us to move forward. Read in full

🇷🇺🇨🇳 President Vladimir Putinmet with Vice Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China Zhang Guoqing. 💬 Vladimir Putin: Thanks primarily to the efforts of our governments and business circles, Russia-China relations in this area – the area of economic cooperation – have reached a very high level. Of course, this is a derivative of what has been achieved in the political sphere, but nevertheless the results are more than good, they are excellent, and every year our trade grows by almost one third. We highly value and appreciate the fact that, as you mentioned, the President of China made his first foreign visit after his re-election to Russia. This indicates that the relations between Russia and China have reached an unprecedented and historic level in the past few years. Read in full #RussiaChina
