Over the past week, 70 people became victims of Ukrainian artillery shelling and UAV strikes, of whom 12 died, including 1 child, and 59 were wounded, including 5 minors. #UkraineCrisis#EU The European Union continues its attempts to find additional resources to keep the Zelensky regime afloat. This task was one of the central issues on the agenda of the informal EU summit held on 1 October in Copenhagen. Brussels intends to solve this by using frozen Russian sovereign assets. According to the European Commission's plan, funds amounting to 140 billion euros are to be allocated to Bankovaya street as an interest-free loan, which it is unlikely to ever repay. Maintaining the Zelensky regime is becoming increasingly expensive for Brussels; money is becoming scarcer, and there are no new sources. Therefore, European officials are trying so unceremoniously to appropriate Russian funds. #KievRegime#terrorism#Africa New evidence continues to emerge of the Zelensky regime's support for terrorist groups in the Sahara-Sahel region of Africa. The security apparatus of the Libyan Government of National Unity, with British mediation, has established cooperation with Ukrainian militants, including Kiev's supply of attack UAVs and training activities conducted by instructors from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine. There are facts confirming the cooperation of the Libyan Government of National Unity with Ukrainians in organising and supporting terrorist operations in Sahel countries, including Niger. On 1 October, Sudanese military intelligence colonel Fatah al-Sayyid reported that Ukrainian and Colombian mercenaries, who fought on the side of the rebel Rapid Support Forces of Sudan, suffered heavy losses in battles in the western part of the country. It is known that they used Ukrainian-made drones. All this criminal activity is coupled with the mass illegal sale of Western weapons and ammunition by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Their presence in terrorist formations is recorded in Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali, Niger, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, the Central African Republic and Chad. #Russia#UN On October 1, Russia assumed the monthly presidency of the UN Security Council, one of the principal organs of the United Nations. According to the UN Charter, the Security Council bears the primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a responsible participant in the international community, Russia will, as tradition dictates,make every effort to ensure the coordinated and efficient functioning of the Security Council. It is committed to promoting a constructive and unifying agenda, guiding colleagues toward finding common ground while carefully considering the approaches of all interested parties.

🎙Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to questions at the 22nd Doha Forum session(07 December 2024) Key points: #Syria#terrorism • It’s inadmissible to allow the terrorist groups to take control of the lands in violation of agreements which exist starting with the UN Security Council Resolution 2254 which strongly reiterated the sovereignty, territorial integrity and unity of the Syrian Arab Republic, which condemned any attempts by terrorists to disturb the life of Syrians, and which called for the direct dialogue between the government and the opposition. • We are absolutely convinced of inadmissibility to use terrorists like Hayat Tahrir al-Sham to achieve geopolitical purposes, as it is being done now with the organization of this offensive from the Idlib de-escalation area. • We are trying to do everything not to allow terrorists to prevail, even if they say that they are no longer terrorists. #AstanaFormat • We [Foreign Ministers of Russia, Iran and Türkiye] strongly reiterated territorial integrity, sovereignty and unity of the Syrian Arab Republic. We called for immediate end of hostile activities. We stated, all of us, that we want the Resolution 2254 to be fully implemented and for this purpose called for the dialogue between the government and legitimate opposition, as provided in that Resolution. • I have no slightest doubt that the relations between Syria and Türkiye must be normalized and we will be doing anything to be helpful. #Palestine • We strongly condemned the terrorist attack on the 7th of October last year. But at the same time, we strongly condemned the way Israel reacted, basically by starting a collective punishment of the Palestinians. • Unless Palestinian state is created (which was, by the way, a precondition for the creation of Israeli state), extremism would be breeding and breeding and breeding in the region, there is no doubt. #Ukraine ❗️Many initiatives have been put forward <...> But none of them mentions what President Xi Jinping of China proclaimed in his global security initiative, which he made public, I think, in February 2023. Not about Ukraine. It's a generic initiative on the principles which you must apply when you address any conflict. And one of the principles says - address and eliminate root causes of a conflict. This is key to any situation, be it lack of Palestinian state and what is going on in the Middle East, or be it Ukraine. The root causes of the Ukrainian crisis are not mentioned in any initiative. #USA • Everything they [the Biden Administration] do indicates that they persuade Europeans not to believe in Russian red lines. They push them farther and farther, providing an example like ATACMS to make the French and the British with their Scalp and Storm Shadow missiles more aggressively involved. They also pressure the Germans with Taurus, as far as I understand. 📄Read in full
