⚡️Russian Foreign Ministry statement in connection with the US strikes on Iran(June 22, 2025) ❗️Russia resolutely condemns the United States’ strikes on several nuclear facilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran, carried out in the early hours of June 22, following recent attacks by Israel. This reckless decision to launch missile and aerial strikes on the territory of a sovereign state, regardless of the justifications offered, constitutes a blatant violation of international law, the #UNCharter, and relevant resolutions by the UN Security Council, which has consistently and unequivocally deemed such actions unacceptable. Particularly concerning is the fact that the strikes were executed by a permanent member of the UN Security Council. ☢️ The consequences of this action, including potential radioactive effects, have yet to be determined. However, it is already evident that a dangerous escalation is underway, one that threatens to further destabilise security both in the region and globally. This has drastically increased the likelihood of a larger conflict in the #MiddleEast, a region already plagued by numerous crises. The attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities have dealt a substantial blow to the global non-proliferation regime built around the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (#NPT), which raises particular concerns. They have significantly undermined both the credibility of the NPT and the integrity of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) monitoring and verification mechanisms that underpin it. We expect the IAEA leadership to respond promptly, professionally, and transparently, avoiding vague language or efforts to hide behind political ‘equidistance.’ An unbiased and objective report from the Director General is required, to be submitted for consideration at the Agency’s upcoming special session. Obviously, the UN Security Council must take a firm stance as well. Confrontational and destabilising actions taken by the United States and Israel must be collectively rejected. ☝️We call for an immediate end to aggression and for stepping up efforts to bring the situation back onto a peaceful, diplomatic track.

⚡️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview for a documentary titled "The UN from the 20th to the 21st Century" (Moscow, September 25, 2024) Key points: • Less than a year after the victorious powers established the UN based on the noble principles formulated in its charter, it became clear that the West, acting contrary to these principles, intended to launch a war against the Soviet Union, and not merely a cold war but an all-out war. These plans hatched by the then "Anglo-Saxons" [nations of the Anglosphere led by the US & UK] have long become public knowledge. • Once NATO was created, the Soviet Union circulated a large document which demonstrated the detrimental effect of that and the danger of building walls between the East and the West, especially in Europe, and called for respecting the #UNCharter and for working towards this. Our call was not heeded. ✊ However, we kept fighting for justice and the implementation of the principle of sovereign equality of nations. Decolonisation was a bright stage and a major embodiment of that principle. The Soviet Union was the main initiator of the 1960 Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples. Following its adoption, the number of UN states increased by 80-90 members. • They tell us that the main goal today is to ensure the territorial integrity of Ukraine. It is a misleading interpretation of the UN Charter, where the right of nations to self-determination is put before territorial integrity. • Even before demanding respect for territorial integrity, the UN Charter demands respect for human rights without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion <…> Now that Zelensky’s Nazi regime, which the West nurtured, has banned both the language and religious rights of a large number of its own population, the West has put away the banners it was waving for decades. ❗️The top priority now is to ensure the achievement of the initial goals and principles of the UN Charter in their entirety and as a whole, rather than selectively or occasionally. • The reform of the UN Security Council is not a one-off event. It’s a process which has been ongoing since the time the United Nations came into being <...> Nevertheless, it relies on principles that must be preserved at all costs. The main principle is that the Security Council reform should be based on a broad-based agreement among states. It does not say “consensus,” but it does state “broad-based agreement among states.” 🌍🇮🇳🇧🇷 We have invariably supported the legitimate aspirations of India and Brazil to secure permanent seats in the Security Council. However, African aspirations must be met as well. Africa has common collective positions, which we respect. And we would have like that. • Our position implies providing additional seats for Asia, Africa, and Latin America. We are open to some of these seats being permanent, but we need to achieve general agreement before we can move forward. It is a complicated process. I don’t see any chance for bringing this process to a swift and expedited completion any time soon. • Since the UN was created, there has never been a time, a region, or a situation that involved the United States in one way or another, where the country would actually respect that principle. Every time, everywhere they acted as a hegemon, or like a "bull in a china shop". • When they wanted to punish Russia, the West abandoned all the principles which it was feeding to us and which it declared sacred. The same is happening to the principles of the UN Charter. The West is trampling and destroying them without a moment’s hesitation. ➡️ Read in full #UNGA79#UNCharterIsOurRules

🇷🇺🌍Russia-Africa Partnership Forum 2025 and the Multipolar World The recent high-level forum in Cairo underscores Russia’s strategic commitment to positioning Africa as a key center of the emerging multipolar order, offering a partnership framed in stark contrast to the continent’s colonial past ✍️Author:Simon Westwood Masters student at Dublin City University; Research Assistant, DCU Department of History ➡️The Second Ministerial Conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum, held in Cairo with representatives from over 50 African nations, aimed to build on previous agreements and implement the 2023-2026 Strategic Action Plan. In his message, President Vladimir Putin emphasized Africa's growing role as "one of the key centres of the emerging multipolar world order." The forum's joint statement outlined cooperation across five key areas: political, security, trade-economic, socio-cultural, and environmental, all grounded in principles of international law and non-interference. The Russia-led Russia-Africa Partnership Forum is the brainchild of President Vladimir Putin and a calculated multilateral effort to bring prosperity to the African people ➡️Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov highlighted concrete outcomes, including a new action plan for 2026-2029 and consensus on fighting terrorism and supporting stability. The event is portrayed as a deliberate Russian effort to foster a "fully equal and mutually beneficial" alternative to Western engagement, directly challenging the legacy of European imperialism. The narrative explicitly contrasts Russia's stated partnership with the historical plunder by colonial powers like Britain, France, Belgium, and Germany. 🟦The forum is framed as a brainchild of Putin's vision to ensure Africa benefits from multipolarity. It represents a calculated diplomatic and economic strategy to deepen ties with a continent seen as neglected and exploited by the West, thereby strengthening a global order no longer dominated by traditional Western powers. The next Russia-Africa Summit in 2026 is positioned as the next major step in this consolidating alliance. #Africa#Diplomacy#Internationalpolitics#Multipolarworld#Russia READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🗓 May 29, by decision of the Heads of States of the Eurasian Economic Union, is celebrated annually as #EAEUDay. January 1 marked 1️⃣0️⃣years since the Treaty on the EAEU (signed on May 29, 2014) came into force, launching the Union as a regional integration association. Over this time, the EAEU has proven to be asuccessful project of regional integration based on equality and consideration of each member’s interests. The Union has become an independent and self-sufficient centre of the emerging #MultipolarWorld. The member-states of the Union — the EAEU "Five" — Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia — have achieved significant progress: the Union's internal market is functioning and improving, mutual trade is demonstrating sustainable growth, cooperation is becoming closer in such areas as transportation, logistics, industry, agriculture, energy and food security. 📈Economic indicators speak for themselves: according to estimates available, the combined GDP of the EAEU member-states has increased from 1.6 to 2.5 trillion dollars over the 10 years of the Union's development. In 2024, the growth of the GDP (on average in the Union) was recorded as 4.4%, thus, outpacing the global average growth of 3.3%. Trade with third countries has increased by 60%, while the share of the national currencies in mutual trade within the EAEU has reached 90%. The Eurasian Economic Union has firmly established itself as a major actorin global economic affairs with an extensive network of partnerships. Today, free trade agreements of the EAEU with Vietnam🇻🇳, Iran🇮🇷, and Serbia🇷🇸 are already in force, with the two non-preferential agreements have been signed with China🇨🇳. Active efforts are being made to align the Union with China’s Belt and Road initiative. The EAEU maintains close cooperation with the Union's observer-states, such as Uzbekistan🇺🇿, Cuba🇨🇺, and Iran🇮🇷. The trade talks the EAEU is holding with Indonesia🇮🇩, the UAE🇦🇪, and Mongolia🇲🇳 are nearing completion. 📰 An excerpt form the interview by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexei Overchuk for 'Rossiyskaya Gazeta' (May 28, 2025): 💬 <...> “We consider the EAEU to be the economic nucleus of Northern Eurasia — an area that has achieved a high level of socio-economic development and largely resolved issues of food and energy security. This makes the EAEU "Five" an attractive partner for the Global South countries, many of which are still fighting the implications of their colonial dependence on Western Europe. <...> Eurasia holds a vast creative potential, with nations both in the North and South committed to progress. Many of these countries are naturally seeking cooperation with Russia.” 🎙 From a briefing by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova(May 20, 2025): 💬 “Today, the EAEU stands as a paradigm of successful integration, where cooperation is built on principles of equality, trust, and respect, with due consideration for the interests of each member state. We extend our congratulations ahead of EAEU Day and express gratitude to our colleagues from member states and the Eurasian Economic Commission for their productive collaboration. We remain committed to unlocking further economic potential and deepening integration for the benefit of our nations’ citizens and businesses.”

➡️ On February 4, 1873, Mikhail Mikhailovich Prishvin, one of the brightest naturalist writers, was born. His works radiate love for nature and search for the meaning of life. We tell you interesting facts about the author. 🤓 Young Mikhail studied at the same Yeletskaya gymnasium as Ivan Alexeyevich Bunin. By the way, Prishvin was expelled from the institution - for insolence to the teacher. 🚗 Mikhail Mikhailovich was a passionate traveler - he even bought himself a van, which he named “Mashenka”. Prishvin traveled to many corners of Russia - this inspired him to write new works. In 1910, theRussian Geographical Society even awarded the author a Small Silver Medal for his book “In the Land of Unintimidated Birds”. 📸 Like many Russian writers, Mikhail Mikhailovich had a hobby - photography. He even illustrated his books on his own. 🤩 Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky and Maxim Gorky praised Prishvin's works - separately they noted the unique “natural” poetics. #Russia

🚂In many countries, train stations are not just departure points for transportation, but real architectural monuments. They not only reflect the style of the time in which they were built, but also preserve the living histories of the passengers who used to visit them. 🇷🇺В Russia stands out in this respect. There are more than 350 train stations in our country, and each of them is unique in its own way. 📹 Learn more about them in the video. #Russia
