⚠️Дедолларизация и эскалация: США боятся потерять контроль🌐 Мы тоже участвуем в глобальных процессах. И не зря Трамп пригрозил странам BRICS увеличением пошлин в связи с переходом на национальные валюты. Это всё-таки Ахиллесова пята Америки. — Николай Левчук, начальник научно-исследовательского отдела НИИ Вооружённых сил Беларуси, кандидат политических наук 🔥 США давно привыкли диктовать свои правила, но мир меняется. Дедолларизация становится не просто экономической стратегией, а геополитическим вызовом для Вашингтона. Страны BRICS, Евразийский экономический союз, Союзное государство — все они переходят на расчёты в национальных валютах, снижая зависимость от доллара. И именно это вызывает настоящую истерику у американского истеблишмента. 🇺🇸 Трамп уже угрожает пошлинами, санкциями и экономическим давлением, пытаясь удержать шаткую финансовую империю. Но время, когда доллар был абсолютным оружием влияния, уходит. Альтернативные финансовые системы набирают силу, а США становятся всё более агрессивными, осознавая свою слабость. ⚔️ Однако попытки сохранить контроль неизбежно ведут к наращиванию конфронтации. Мы видим, как разжигаются конфликты, как давление на неугодные страны усиливается, как Вашингтон руками своих ставленников в Киеве пытается втянуть всё больше стран в военную эскалацию. 💭 Как вы считаете, смогут ли США сохранить влияние через санкции и давление, или их эпоха подходит к концу?

🇷🇺🇨🇳 On April 28, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Foreign Minister of the People’s Republic of China Wang Yiheld a meeting on the sidelines of the BRICS Foreign Ministers Council meeting in Rio de Janeiro. The Parties praised the current state of bilateral relations, which are developing amidst ongoing global turbulence. They also discussed the progress in implementing the agreements reached by President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of China Xi Jinping, including current issues of practical cooperation. Special focus was placed on the preparations for the Chinese President’s upcoming official visit to Russia to attend the celebration of the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The Ministers noted the key importance of the leaders’ diplomacy for further deepening the relations of comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation between the two countries, including coordination in the international arena. An in-depth discussion took place on the current state and development prospects of BRICS, with the Parties noting the Group’s growing international authority and its role in developing a constructive dialogue regarding the global agenda. Additionally, the Sides reaffirmed mutual intention to further step up coordination in the UN, #SCO, #BRICS, and other major international organisations and multilateral formats. 💬Sergey Lavrov: Together with China, our BRICS and SCO partners, and other allies, we are active participants in this transformation and stand at the forefront of the movement for justice and equality. This imposes a special responsibility on us, especially in fulfilling the objectives set by the leaders of our countries. (excerpt from Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks at the meeting with Foreign Minister of the People's Republic of China Wang Yi) The conversation took place in an atmosphere of trust typical of Russia-China dialogue. #RussiaChina

📄 President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin’s Article for People’s Daily Newspaper, «Russia and China: A Future-Bound Partnership»🇷🇺🇨🇳 March 19, 2023 READ IN FULL (original on Kremlin.ru) 💬 I am glad to seize this opportunity to address the friendly Chinese people in one of the largest and most authoritative world media in advance of the state visit of President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping to Russia. This landmark event reaffirms the special nature of the Russia-China partnership, which has always been built on mutual trust, respect for each other's sovereignty and interests. We have high expectations for the upcoming talks. We have no doubt that they will give a new powerful impetus to our bilateral cooperation in its entirety. This is also a great opportunity for me to meet with my good old friend with whom we enjoy the warmest relationship. <...> 🤝 The firm friendship between Russia and China is consistently growing stronger for the benefit and in the interest of our countries and peoples. The progress made in the development of bilateral ties is impressive. The Russia-China relations have reached the highest level in their history and are gaining even more strength; they surpass Cold War-time military-political alliances in their quality, with no one to constantly order and no one to constantly obey, without limitations or taboos. We have reached an unprecedented level of trust in our political dialogue, our strategic cooperation has become truly comprehensive in nature and is standing on the brink of a new era. President Xi Jinping and I have met about 40 times and have always found time and opportunity to talk in a variety of official formats as well as at no‑tie events. <...> Unlike some countries claiming hegemony and bringing discord to the global harmony, Russia and China are literally and figuratively building bridges. Last year our border regions were connected by two new bridge crossings over the Amur river, which has been a ”river of friendship“ since time immemorial. Amidst the ”waves and winds“ that sweep the planet, we closely cooperate in international affairs and effectively coordinate our foreign policy positions, counter common threats, and respond to current challenges, standing shoulder to shoulder as a ”rock amid a fast flowing stream.“ We actively promote democratic multilateral structures such as the #SCO and #BRICS, which become more and more authoritative and influential and attract new partners and friends. The work aimed at coordinating the development of the Eurasian Economic Union with the One Belt, One Road Initiative also goes in this vein. ❗️ Our countries, together with like-minded actors, have consistently advocated the shaping of a more just multipolar world order based on international law rather than certain ”rules“ serving the needs of the ”golden billion.“ Russia and China have consistently worked to create an equitable, open and inclusive regional and global security system that is not directed against third countries. In this regard, we note the constructive role of China's Global Security Initiative, which is in line with the Russian approaches in this area. We can feel the geopolitical landscape in the outside world change dramatically. Sticking more stubbornly than ever to its obsolete dogmata and vanishing dominance, the ”Collective West“ is gambling on the fates of entire states and peoples. The US's policy of simultaneously deterring Russia and China, as well as all those who do not bend to the American dictation, is getting ever more fierce and aggressive. The international security and cooperation architecture is being dismantled. Russia has been labelled an ”immediate threat“ and China a ”strategic competitor.“ <...> 🇷🇺🇨🇳 I am convinced that our friendship and partnership based on the strategic choice of the peoples of the two countries will further grow and gain strength for the well-being and prosperity of Russia and China. This visit of the President of the PRC to Russia will undoubtedly contribute to that. #RussiaChina

✉️Foreign Minister of Russia Sergey Lavrov's congratulatory message to Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia Dr. Gedion Timotheos on the 130th anniversary of the Victory of Adwa(March 2, 2026) ✍️ Esteemed Dr. Gedion Timotheos, Please accept my sincere congratulations on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of Ethiopia’s Victory over the Italian colonizers in the Battle of Adwa. The Battle of Adwa had a profound impact around the world, becoming the first victory of an African state over a colonial power. This milestone not only confirmed the strength of spirit of the Ethiopian people, but also initiated the struggle for independence throughout Africa. 🤝Russia and Ethiopia share long-standing traditions of friendship, respect and trust. Within the #UN, #BRICS and a number of other authoritative international organizations, Moscow and Addis Ababa are creating the preconditions for a just world order based on the multipolarity and supremacy of the international law. Cooperation is developing in the trade, economic, scientific, cultural and humanitarian spheres. Flagship projects in these fields include the construction of a nuclear power plant of Russian design in Ethiopia, the reconstruction of the Russian Red Cross Hospital named after Dejazmach Balcha in Addis Ababa and also creation of the Russian-Ethiopian Joint Biological Research Center. On such a significant day for your country, I wish you and all the people of Ethiopia peace, well-being and prosperity. With respect, Sergey Lavrov 🇷🇺🇪🇹#RussiaEthiopia

🎙Nga përgjigjet e Presidentit të Rusisë V.Putin pyetjeve gjatë seancës plenare të takimit vjetor të XXII -të të Klubit Ndërkombëtar të Diskutimit “Valdai” (2 tetor 2025) Teza kryesore: • Institucionet moderne degraduan pikërisht gjatë periudhës kur vende të caktuara, ose Perëndimi kolektiv, u përpoqën të përfitonin nga situata pas Luftës së Ftohtë duke shpallur veten fitues. Së pari, ata filluan t’u impononin gjithçka të gjithëve. Së dyti, të gjithë të tjerët gradualisht, fillimisht në heshtje, pastaj gjithnjë e më aktivisht, filluan t’i rezistonin kësaj. • Për çfarë u krijua OSBE-ja? Për të zgjidhur situata të vështira në Evropë. Dhe në çfarë rezultoi të ndodhë? E gjithë veprimtaria e OSBE-së u shndërrua në një lloj platforme për diskutimin, le të themi, e të drejtave të njeriut në hapësirën post-sovjetike. • Meqë ra fjala, ne jemi pjekur gradualisht deri në atë pikë që ne duhet të krijojmë institucione ku çështjet zgjidhen jo në mënyrën se si kolegët tanë perëndimorë u përpoqën t’i zgjidhnin, por vërtet në bazë të konsensusit, vërtet në bazë të koordinimit të qëndrimeve. Kështu lindi #SCO - Organizata e Bashkëpunimit të Shangait. Kështu lindi #BRICS. Lexoni të plotë ___ 🎙Из ответов на вопросыПрезидента России В.В.Путина на пленарной сессии XXII ежегодного заседания Международного дискуссионного клуба «Валдай»(2 октября 2025 года) Основные тезисы: • Современные институты деградировали как раз в период попытки отдельных стран, или коллективного Запада, воспользоваться положением после холодной войны, объявив себя победителями. Здесь начали всем всё навязывать – первое. Второе – все остальные постепенно, сначала глухо, потом всё активнее, активнее начали этому сопротивляться. • ОБСЕ для чего была создана? Для урегулирования сложных ситуаций в Европе. А все свелось к чему? Вся деятельность ОБСЕ свелась к тому, что она превратилась в какую-то площадку для обсуждения, скажем, тех же прав человека на постсоветском пространстве. • Мы, кстати говоря, постепенно, постепенно созревали до того, что нам нужно создавать какие-то институты, где вопросы решаются не так, как пытались их решать наши западные коллеги, а действительно на основе консенсуса, действительно на основе согласования позиций. Так возникла #ШОС – Шанхайская организация сотрудничества. Так возник #БРИКС. Читайте полностью
