@RusEmbMalta: 🇷🇺Commentary by the Russian Ambassador to Malta Andrey Lopukhov on the "Times of Malta" editorial “A Far More Complex Reality” (published on 29 September 2025 in Times of Malta). 🔗 Read in full here. 🔹 The Minsk Agreements were designed to resolve the issues of Russian-speakers through autonomy within Ukraine. Their failure resulted from Kiev and its Western guarantors refusing to implement them. 🔹 Russian-speaking citizens in Ukraine faced systemic pressure: language and media bans, party closures, and discrimination against the canonical Orthodox Church. 🔹 NATO’s eastward expansion was among the key drivers of the Ukranian crisis and a real strategic risk for Russia’s security. 🔹 Russia is a nation with immense strategic potential, a resilient economy, and a proven efficiency Army. Any plans to “defeat” it are doomed to fail. 🔹 Europe’s future lies either in continuing self-deception and escalation, or in recognizing reality and seeking a genuine balance of interests. #UkrainianCrisis#RussiaMalta
