🎙Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's answer to a question from RIA Novosti regarding allegations that Russia violated the Budapest Memorandum(February 24, 2026) ❓ Question: Zelensky has repeatedly claimed that by launching the special military operation, Russia violated the Budapest Memorandum. However, the head of the Kiev regime forgets that by enshrining NATO membership as a constitutional objective and engaging in military-technical cooperation with the North Atlantic Alliance, Ukraine itself violated, inter alia, the Budapest Memorandum. Could you elaborate on the groundlessness of Ukraine’s accusations and on other documents it has breached? 💬Maria Zakharova: To answer this question, let us recall that the Budapest Memorandum – or the Memorandum on security assurances in connection with Ukraine’s accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons – is an act that does not constitute an international treaty. It was signed on December 5, 1994 by the leaders of Russia, Ukraine, the US and the UK. Under this document, Ukraine agreed to transfer to Russia the portion of the former Soviet nuclear arsenal located on its territory and to become a fully non-nuclear state. In turn, Russia, the US and the UK provided security assurances to Ukraine. It should also be recalled that, simultaneously with the Memorandum, a joint statement was adopted in Budapest by the leaders of Russia, the UK, the US and Ukraine. Among other things, it reaffirmed the importance of #OSCE commitments aimed at countering the rise of aggressive nationalism and chauvinism. It is evident that the Ukrainian side failed to fulfil these commitments and for many years tolerated the growth of highly aggressive nationalism. At the OSCE summit in Budapest in 1994, and during related events on its margins, Russia did not undertake any obligation to compel part of Ukraine to remain within its composition against the will of the local population. The provisions of the Budapest Memorandum do not apply to circumstances arising from internal political or socio-economic factors. ❗️Thus, Ukraine’s loss of territorial integrity was the result of complex internal processes to which Russia and its obligations under the Budapest Memorandum bear no relation. Accordingly, there can be no question of any violation of the Budapest Memorandum by Russia. At the same time, Russia and Ukraine were bound by a more significant legal instrument – the Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership between the Russian Federation and Ukraine – which Ukraine systematically violated prior to the launch of the special military operation. For many years, the Ukrainian leadership pursued a policy of gross and systematic breaches of this Treaty, which should be qualified as a refusal to comply with its provisions. This, in particular, ultimately led to the decision of the Russian leadership to begin the special military operation. Ukraine’s strategic course toward acquiring full NATO membership was enshrined at the constitutional level, effectively violating Article 6 of the Treaty. At that moment, Ukraine officially renounced one of the foundations of its international recognition in the 1990s – its neutral and non-aligned status – thereby also breaching the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. ❗️NATO's unchecked geopolitical expansion up to our borders, including Ukraine, became one of the root causes of the conflict. Without addressing this, a settlement is impossible. When accusing Russia of violating the Budapest Memorandum, they somehow fail to recall the long-standing sabotage of this fundamental bilateral Russian-Ukrainian document. ☝️ The above facts – as well as many others – demonstrate that the goals and objectives of the special military operation remain relevant and will be fulfilled, as repeatedly stated by the Russian leadership.

#CrimesOfTheKievRegime 📄 On April 28, the Rossiya Segodnya International Multimedia Press Centre hosted a presentation of a new report by the International Public Tribunal on the crimes of Ukrainian neo-Nazis: “Atrocities of the Kiev Regime in the City of Kurakhovo.” Following the retreat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the International Public Tribunal conducted a survey among civilians in the city of Kurakhovo (DPR). Residents recalled how, since 2014, Ukrainian terror against the Russian-speaking population had been escalating. In line with the established practices of the Kiev regime, crimes committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis against civilians were met with total impunity. Eyewitness testimonies presented in the report fully expose the Kiev regime's systemic and targeted killings of Russian-speaking residents of the city — including women and the elderly — carried out with small arms and lethal unmanned aerial vehicles. These include both kamikaze drones and UAVs used to drop various explosive devices. The report also documents the deliberate destruction of civilian homes and infrastructure, which constitutes war crimes with #NoStatuteOfLimitations.

World Press Freedom Day | "The Martyrs for the Truth” 📆 On #WorldPressFreedomDay, we pay tribute to those who lived and fell for the truth. 📸 The exhibition “The Martyrs for the Truth” tells the stories of 6️⃣1️⃣Russian and foreign journalists, photographers, war correspondents, bloggers, and media professionals who gave their lives covering the conflict in Donbass, Mariupol, Kherson, and other regions. Many of them worked under shelling, drone attacks, and in mine-laden areas — refusing to abandon their duty. 🕯What unites them is not only courage, but their commitment to truth in the face of lies, propaganda, and psychological warfare. ❗️ Western institutions continue to proclaim support for free speech while deliberately ignoring the deaths of Russian journalists, many of whom were killed by Ukrainian forces. This silence is not accidental — it is a glaring example of double standards, where freedom of the press becomes a political weapon. 📍The exhibition was compiled by frontline journalists from Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson with the support of journalist and human rights advocate Alexander Malkevich. The symbol: a red crane in memory of the fallen and a continuous telegraph tape — the truth must not be interrupted. #ПогиблиЗаПравду #PerishedForTruth #ПреступленияКиевскогоРежима

🎙Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with '60 Minutes' television programme (December 25, 2024) 💬Sergey Lavrov: We have not had any illusions about the prospects [of 2025]. Resolving the Ukraine crisis doesn’t have any prospects, either. It has long been clear to everyone holding unbiased positions that it can be settled only in the context of agreements on lasting security and stability in Europe, which would take into account the interests of the Russian Federation and the legitimate interests of all other countries. <...> President Putin has repeatedly stressed that we never walk away from talks. We need to see serious, concrete proposals. When we have them, we will decide on how to respond to them based on our national interests, the goals of the special military operation, and President Vladimir Putin’s June 14 speech at the Foreign Ministry. Other key points • The prevailing discourse we are hearing both in the West and in Ukraine today is about a truce and only truce. It is about buying time to allow the Kiev regime to regain strength, with the help of the West, and resume its attempts to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, acting on their Western bosses’ instructions. President Vladimir Putin has mentioned this repeatedly – during the Direct Line, at the Valdai Discussion Club meeting, and at the Russia Calling! investment forum. We will not be satisfied with a truce. We need reliable and legally binding agreements aimed at eliminating the root causes of the conflict, addressing problems such as common security in Europe, NATO expansion, the European Union’s recent decision to become an appendage of the North Atlantic bloc, in fact, erasing all differences between these organisations, and above all, upholding the rights of the people living in these territories who have supported reunification with the Russian Federation. • We have never initiated a discussion regarding what should be done with nuclear weapons and whether they can be used. On the contrary, it was at Russia's initiative that in 2021, first at the level of Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden, and subsequently among the leaders of the entire G5 nuclear-armed states – the permanent members of the Security Council – the 1987 Gorbachev-Reagan principle was reaffirmed: there can be no victors in a nuclear war, thus it should never be instigated. This was a Russian initiative. We are not interested in escalating the issue of nuclear weapons usage risks. We firmly adhere to the principle I mentioned earlier: there can be no victors in a nuclear war. • Regarding the incessant terrorist acts perpetrated by the Kiev regime, which deliberately targets purely civilian structures such as residential buildings, hospitals, clinics, shops, and places where people congregate and relax – this is outrageous. It is a blatant violation of all anti-terrorism conventions and relevant UN Security Council resolutions. We express our condemnation, although regrettably, almost no one in the West and none of the leaders of international organisations, including the #UN, the #OSCE, #UNESCO, and others, join us in this denunciation. Naturally, we do not stop there. We regularly disseminate information and present relevant videos illustrating our efforts to dismantle facilities directly associated with the preparation and execution of activities by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. ❗️We caution that any continuation of this path will be met with increasingly decisive responses on our part.

⚡️ Nga Konferenca e shkurtër për shtyp e Zëdhënëses së Ministrisë së Jashtme të Rusisë, Maria Zakharova (4 mars 2026) Përmbledhje e shkurtër: #LindjaeMesme#Iran • Ne po ndjekim me shqetësim të madh përshkallëzimin e paprecedentë të tensioneve në Lindjen e Mesme, i cili është pasojë e sulmit të paprovokuar nga Shtetet e Bashkuara dhe Izraelit ndaj Iranit. Rusia ka dënuar ashpër në mënyrën më të vendosur aventurën e radhës të rrezikshme nga tandemi amerikan-izraelit kundër Republikës Islamike. Qëndrimi ynë parimor është përcaktuar në deklaratat përkatëse të Ministrisë së Jashtme, fjalimet në takimin e Këshillit të Sigurimit të OKB-së dhe sesionin e posaçëm të Bordit të Guvernatorëve të IAEA-s. #KrimetERegjimitTëKievit • Më 2 mars, Zelensky firmosi një ligj që lejon evakuimin e detyruar të të miturve nga zonat e luftës aktive dhe të veprimeve të mundshme ushtarake pa pëlqimin e prindërve. Dokumenti i miratuar ligjëron praktikën e rrënjosur në Ukrainë të evakuimit të detyruar të të miturve. Së fundmi, ka pasur gjithnjë e më shumë informacione nga burime të hapura se fëmijët ukrainas po bëhen viktima të trafikimit të qenieve njerëzore dhe shfrytëzimit seksual, dhe se përfaqësues të regjimit të Kievit janë të përfshirë në këto krime, për të cilët "çështja e fëmijëve" është një armë propagande dhe një mjet për të fituar para. Ata janë thellësisht indiferentë ndaj fatit të këtyre fëmijëve. #KrizaUkrainase • Duke pasur frikë nga reduktimi i mbështetjes ushtarake dhe financiare perëndimore, për shkak të përshkallëzimit të situatës në Lindjen e Mesme, Zelensky po bën përpjekje për të qëndruar në qendër të vëmendjes. Sipas Bloomberg, më 2 mars, ai njoftoi gatishmërinë e Kievit për të ndihmuar vendet e Lindjes së Mesme në luftën kundër dronëve iranianë. Në realitet, Kiev-i, i cili vazhdon të lypë nga sponsorët e tij furnizime shtesë për mbrojtjen ajrore, nuk është në gjendje të ndihmojë askënd e asgjë. E gjithë kjo është një mashtrim dhe dëshira personale e Zelenskit për të fituar publicitet rreth konfliktit në Lindjen e Mesme. • Kryeministri britanik Keir Starmer tha se ka ndërmend të promovojë përdorimin e përvojës luftarake të forcave të armatosura të Ukrainës për të kundërshtuar sistemet pa pilot në Gjirin Persik. Duket se autoritetet britanike janë të vendosura t'i përfshijnë vasalët e tyre ukrainas në aventurën e tyre më të fundit gjeopolitike. Të gjitha këto demonstrojnë qartë qëndrimin thjesht konsumator të Britanisë ndaj Ukrainës dhe popullsisë së saj. #OSCE • Takimi i Forumit të OSBE-së më 25 shkurt tregoi se francezët nuk janë të interesuar për rivendosjen e funksionimit normal të Forumit në përputhje me mandatin e tij. Ngjall keqardhje githashtu qëndrimi i distancuar i bashkëkryesuesit zviceran. Në rrethanat aktuale, ne rezervojmë të drejtën për të ndërmarrë hapa të mëtejshëm për t'u kundërvënë shkeljeve të Rregullores së Procedurës së OSBE-së dhe minimit të funksionimit të Forumit.
