⚡️Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists (2 November 2025)
💬 Observed on November 2, the International Day to End Impunity for #CrimesAgainstJournalists was established in 2013 by the 68th session of the #UNGA.
Its original objective consisted of alerting the international community to the importance of protecting media professionals from criminal and terrorist attacks, while also stressing the fundamental principle where no crimes against journalists would be left unpunished.
❗️ However, this initiative has not lived up to the expectations of its initiators. In fact, the situation in this domain has been steadily deteriorating for over ten years since this day was established.
While all countries seem to recognise the need to ensure safety for journalists’ work without any distinction, at least by paying lip service to this principle, many countries of the so-called collective West have made a new normal out of segregating media professionals as friends and foes. And they have no qualms subjecting those whom they view as foes to repression and threats of all kinds in an effort to cleanse the information space from undesirable perspectives.
In fact, this is also a form of lawlessness and arbitrary political practices — something those who established this international day wanted to end.
👉 You can find more details about these arbitrary actions on the main page of the Foreign Ministry’s official website in the section titled Foreign Reprisals against Russian Journalists and Media.
In doing so, the West believes in its exceptionalism and unaccountability, and goes as far as allow its puppets in Kiev to step up these activities by encouraging its terrorist actions. This sense of impunity for killing journalists and carrying out terrorist attacks against them has prompted the Kiev regime to perpetrate more bloody crimes with the backing of its Western curators.
Since the beginning of this year alone, at least six members of Russian media outlets have perished. Alexander Martemyanov,Alexander Fedorchak,Andrey Panov, Anna Prokofyeva, Nikita Goldin, and Ivan Zuev joined the long list of civilian victims who fell at the hands of the Ukrainian Nazis <...>.
Those tasked with ensuring that journalists stay safe and have a mandate to respond to any reported attacks against media professionals bear their share of responsibility for these atrocities. However, multilateral human rights structures such as the UNOHCHR, the UNESCO Secretariat, the OSCE and other entities have been camping on politically biased positions by intentionally turning a blind eye to the violent deaths of media representatives <...>.
The scandalous UNESCO Director-General’s Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity for 2022-2023, published in December 2024, offers a telling example of how a selective approach to fulfilling this mandate can lead for deplorable consequences. This report knowingly ignores information about Russian journalists and frontline correspondents who were killed by the Ukrainian Banderites.
<...>
This report contained serious distortions in its assessments which undermined its reputation as a reliable and accurate source of information about the state of affairs in this domain, while also dealing a blow to the UNESCO Director General Audrey Azoulay’s reputation. We do hope that with the upcoming appointment of a new leader, UNESCO will be able to step up its efforts in protecting the safety of journalists by reaffirming its commitment to the basic principles of working in good faith in an equidistant and impartial manner.
☝️We reaffirm our resolve to stand up and assert the professional rights of Russian media abroad, and will be consistent in our efforts to ensure that they can work safely anywhere in the world, while ensuring that those guilty of committing crimes against Russian journalists get the punishment they deserve.

#Russia: Il Vicedirettore dell’intelligence militare russa, il Vice Generale Vladimir Alekseyev, è stato ferito da diversi colpi d’arma da fuoco mentre si trovava a Mosca.
Alekseyev, che ricopre la posizione dal 2011, è stato ricoverato in ospedale.
Non si hanno notizie su chi sia l’aggressore.
#Russia: La Russia avrebbe utilizzato un missile Oreshnik contro l'Ucraina nei bombardamenti che sono avvenuti durante la notte. Si tratta di un missile balistico a medio raggio che può contenere diverse bombe sia convenzionali che nucleari. La notizia, annunciata dall'aeronautica ucraina è stata poi confermata dal Ministero della Difesa russo.
"Le forze armate russe hanno lanciato un massiccio attacco con armi ad alta precisione lanciati da terra e dal mare, inclusi i sistemi missilistici a medio raggio Oreshnik".
Il Governo russo non ha specificato dove avrebbe colpito ma diverse esplosioni si sono registrate a Leopoli, città occidentale dell'Ucraina. Secondo l'Ucraina, il missile si stava muovendo alla velocità di 13mila km orari.
Non è la prima volta che la Russia impiega un missile di questo tipo. In passato era avvenuto nel novembre del 2024 e all'epoca Putin aveva spiegato che si trattava di una ritorsione contro Stati Uniti e Regno Unito per aver dato il via libera a Kyiv di colpire il territorio russo con armi occidentali.
#Russia: Il Senatore Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) ha dichiarato che Donald Trump ha dato il via libera al pacchetto di sanzioni contro la Russia. Il testo, preparato negli scorsi mesi da un gruppo di senatori bipartisan, era in attesa che la Casa Bianca desse l'ok. L'Amministrazione ha cercato di prendere tempo per vedere se la via diplomatica e negoziale con la Russia producesse l'effetto sperato.
"Dopo un incontro produttivo con il Presidente Trump su una serie di argomenti, [egli] ha dato il via libera al pacchetto di sanzioni bipartisan su cui ho lavorato per mesi con il Senatore Blumenthal e molti altri", ha dichiarato Graham, secondo cui il voto potrebbe avvenire la settimana prossima. "L'Ucraina sta facendo le concessioni per la pace, Putin è solo chiacchiere e continua a uccidere innocenti"; la legge, dunque, "arriva nel momento giusto".
Tuttavia, non è la prima volta che Graham afferma di aver ottenuto il via libera dalla Casa Bianca, per poi vedere la legge bloccarsi nuovamente su richiesta dell'Esecutivo.
La legge permetterebbe di imporre sanzioni secondarie ai Paesi che acquistano petrolio e gas dalla Russia, nel tentativo di bloccare i finanziamenti per la macchina bellica di Putin.
