🎙Following the EAEU summit, President of Russia Vladimir Putin answered questions from Russian journalists 📍 Minsk, June 27, 2025 #EAEU As for the outcomes of today’s EAEU summit, we are satisfied with the results and have drawn certain conclusions. The President of Belarus has already noted that our development strategy, which was designed to run until this year, is nearing completion. We are considering how to structure our joint efforts moving forward. However, overall, the results of our work cannot but satisfy us. They satisfy all of us. Why? Because the key aggregate indicator of economic performance is the growth rate. In the EAEU, it exceeds the global average. As is known, global growth stands at 3.3 percent. The EAEU’s growth is over 4 percent – significantly higher. In some countries, it is substantially greater, reaching 5 percent or even approaching 6 percent, in my view. This is, among other things, a direct result of our joint efforts, as the very purpose of our work is to eliminate trade and other economic barriers to cooperation. Without exaggeration, this multiplies the potential for economic growth. #Ukraine Regarding the memorandums [Russian and Ukrainian], as expected, there were no surprises. I will not tell you anything surprising, either. These are two absolutely opposing memorandums, but that is precisely why talks are set up and held – to find ways to bring positions closer. The fact that they were diametrically opposed does not seem surprising to me, either. I would not like to go into details, as I believe it would be counterproductive – even harmful – to get ahead of the talks. With regard to what has been achieved so far following the talks, I think you can see it for yourself. Today, if I am not mistaken, another exchange took place… or was it yesterday? Today, right? And this is important. The humanitarian aspect matters because, as diplomats say, it creates conditions for substantive discussions on core issues. We agreed that after completing these exchanges and the humanitarian operation which we proposed – specifically, the transfer of the servicemen’s bodies – we would press ahead with more contacts. We have already handed over more than 6,000 bodies and are ready to transfer nearly 3,000 more, but it is now up to the Ukrainian side to agree to accept the remains of their fallen soldiers. We agreed that after this phase is completed, we would hold the third round of talks. We are ready for it overall. The venue and the time need to be agreed upon. I expect President Erdogan to keep unchanged his supportive stance with regard to this process. We are very grateful to him for that. We stand ready to hold this meeting in Istanbul. As for the exact timeframe, the heads of the negotiating teams from both sides – who remain in constant, direct contact and regularly get on the phone with each other (which, I believe, is a good sign) – are discussing the date for the next meeting. The agenda? In my opinion, the discussion should focus on the memoranda from both sides. #EU#NATO We are planning to cut the defence expenses next year and the year after, as well during the next three years. The Defence Ministry, the Finance Ministry and the Ministry of Economic Development have yet to reach the final agreement, still, in general, everybody is thinking along these lines. And Europe is thinking about raising its defence expenses. So, who is getting ready for any aggressive actions, us or them? Yes, we do want to complete the special military operation with the result we need. Certainly. This is what we take into account when planning our defence expenses, not aggressive aspirations against Europe and NATO countries. And we want to decrease the expenses, while they want to increase them. 📄Read in full

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’sinterview with RT(Moscow, February 5, 2026) Read in full Key talking points: #Europe#EU#Germany • Over the past 45 days, many European politicians have addressed relations with the Russian Federation. Until recently, they were united in demanding firmness, not scaling back support or weapons supplies to Ukraine, and financing it to make sure Russia suffers a “strategic defeat” on the battlefield. • Recently, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made a comment describing Russia as the largest country in Europe. I must correct this immediately. Russia is the largest country in Eurasia – and in the world. • The Americans have never wanted, and still do not want, to leave the Europeans to their own devices. Their goal is for Europeans to finance all their own military preparations by buying US weaponry, while the US naturally retains control and the role of ‘guardian’ over its NATO allies. • As Euro-Atlantic structures have weakened (the EU having become a mere appendage of NATO, a status even formalised in documents) Germany’s rising profile has caused alarm, not only in our country but in many EU capitals. There is growing resentment and a palpable desire to prevent Germany from subjugating all others once more, especially as Germany’s being “back on track,” proclaimed by Friedrich Merz and his government, is openly linked to the country’s rapid militarisation and preparations for war. • We do maintain contacts with some European leaders. They call and ask us not to publicise the conversations. Some engage in ‘undercover’ contacts here. • I see no coherent position from Europe. They are trapped by their own rhetoric, locked into an uncompromising stance: ‘Russia’s strategic defeat,’ ‘Ukraine cannot lose, and Russia cannot win, otherwise Europe loses face.’ #NATO • We have indeed been “burned” by our trust in those who swore that NATO would not expand eastwards, that Russia would not be marginalised, and that we would forge a common space from Lisbon to Vladivostok – a vast continent of peace and security. • NATO first lost its reason for existence, then found renewed purpose in Afghanistan. When that purpose was publicly, shamelessly trampled before the eyes of the international community, action was needed. So, they regrouped, convened, and contrived the situation we witness today – declaring Russia a “pariah” and identifying Ukraine as the “optimal material” with which to provoke us, a pliable entity to be shaped as they saw fit. #Ukraine • This is nonsense and a quite telling one. What do I mean? For the past year, the West (Europe) has been saying the same thing over and over: there must be solid guarantees of security and an immediate ceasefire. But without addressing issues pertaining to settlement, these security guarantees will implicate that the ceasefire will be exploited to funnel more arms into Ukraine. They did not hear this reasoning; neither did they respond in any way. • What kind of Ukraine we are willing to see as a neighbour for the long, even eternal term? It must be a friendly Ukraine. Not necessarily an ally, but a neutral and benign state. This, of course, implies respect not only for the rights of the people in the territory that will remain part of Ukraine, not only respect for their rights to access basic necessities, such as warmth, food, and water, but also respect for their, if you will, fundamental human rights, including language, education, and religion. • That man [Zelensky] is devoid of shame or conscience, who thinks of nothing but his own survival. For that, he feels compelled to perform some scripted ‘sketches’ on the international stage, which he actually treats as a theatre. • In Anchorage, we accepted the Trump administration’s proposal concerning Ukraine. If everything was as straightforward and decisive as presented, then it would imply that Ukraine had been set aside from our bright path towards future cooperation and prosperity.

🎙 Răspunsurile Președintelui Rusiei, Vladimir Putin, la întrebările jurnaliștilor la finalul summitului EAEU de la Minsk (27 iunie 2025): #UE#NATO Noi planificăm reducerea cheltuielilor pentru apărare, atât pentru anul viitor, cât și pentru anul următor, și pentru următorii trei ani. Deocamdată nu există acorduri definitive între Ministerul Apărării, Ministerul Finanțelor și Ministerul Dezvoltării Economice, dar, în general, toți gândesc în această direcție. Iar Europa se gândește cum să-și mărească cheltuielile pentru apărare. Deci, cine se pregătește pentru acțiuni agresive, noi sau ei? Da, noi vrem să încheiem operațiunea militară specială cu rezultatul dorit. Desigur. Totul este planificat în acest sens, nu pentru planuri agresive împotriva Europei și țărilor NATO. Și noi intenționăm să reducem cheltuielile, iar ei intenționează să le mărească. #CrizaUkraineană În ceea ce privește memorandumurile [rusesc și ucrainean], așa cum era de așteptat, nu s-a întâmplat nimic neașteptat. Nu vă voi spune nimic ieșit din comun. Sunt două memorandumuri absolut opuse, dar negocierile sunt organizate și desfășurate tocmai pentru a găsi căi de apropiere. Ei bine, faptul că acestea erau diametral opuse, mi se pare că nu este nimic surprinzător. Nu aș dori să intru în detalii, deoarece consider că este inoportun, chiar dăunător, să anticipez negocierile. În ceea ce privește ceea ce s-a realizat în urma negocierilor, cred că vedeți și dumneavoastră. A avut loc un nou schimb, ceea ce este important. Această componentă umanitară are importanță, deoarece creează condiții, așa cum spun diplomații, pentru o discuție substanțială asupra esenței problemei. Am convenit să continuăm contactele după finalizarea schimburilor și după acțiunea umanitară pe care am propus-o, și anume transferul corpurilor militarilor decedați. Am predat deja peste 6.000 de corpuri și suntem gata să predăm încă aproape 3.000, dar este treaba părții ucrainene să accepte corpurile soldaților săi decedați. Am convenit că, după finalizarea acestei etape, vom desfășura a treia rundă de negocieri. În general, suntem pregătiți pentru asta. Trebuie să stabilim locul și ora. Sper că președintele Republicii Turcia, domnul Erdogan, își menține poziția de susținere a acestui proces. Îi suntem foarte recunoscători pentru asta. Suntem pregătiți să organizăm o astfel de întâlnire la Istanbul. Când anume, însă, vor decide șefii grupurilor de negociere de ambele părți – care, apropo, sunt în contact permanent, în contact operațional între ei, vorbesc constant la telefon și, în opinia mea, asta este deja un lucru bun – acum se pun de acord între ei cu privire la data următoarei întâlniri. Și care va fi subiectul? Subiectul, în opinia mea, ar trebui să fie discutarea memorandumurilor atât cu o parte, cât și cu cealaltă. #EAEU În ceea ce privește rezultatele reuniunii noastre de astăzi, summitul EurAsEC, suntem mulțumiți de rezultate și am tras anumite concluzii. Președintele Belarusului a spus deja că strategia noastră de dezvoltare, care a fost stabilită până în anul curent, se apropie de final. Ne gândim la modul în care să ne organizăm în continuare colaborarea. Dar, în ansamblu, rezultatele muncii noastre nu pot să nu ne satisfacă. Ele ne satisfac pe toți. De ce? Pentru că principalul indicator integral al eficienței economiilor este ritmul de creștere economică. La noi, în EurAsEC, acesta este mai mare decât rata medie mondială. Creșterea mondială este de 3,3%, după cum se știe. EurAsEC – peste 4%, mult mai mult. Iar în unele țări – cu mult mai mult. Există și 5%, și aproape 6%, după părerea mea, în unele țări se apropie de acest nivel. Prin urmare, acest lucru este, printre altele, și rezultatul muncii noastre comune, deoarece sensul acesteia constă în eliminarea barierelor comerciale și a altor bariere economice pentru colaborare. Fără exagerare, acest lucru crește exponențial posibilitățile de creștere economică. 📄 Citiți integral - vk.cc/cNdUU1

📰Article by H.E. Mr Anatoly Borovik, Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Kingdom of Cambodia, published in “Khmer Times”(February 28, 2025) Key points: ⚫️The roots of the current crisis of international relations extend beyond the borders of the conflict in Ukraine. The key goal is to establish the system of indivisible security for all. Russia has consistently advocated for such a system, but, as the saying goes, it takes two to tango, and NATO turned out to have two left feet. ⚫️We urge those who speak of the so-called “Russian aggression” to revisit 2014, when radicalsseized power in Kiev through a coup d'état. <…> The people of Donbas, forced to defend their rights, proclaimed the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. Kiev opted for military force, launching punitive operations against the civilian population of Donbas as early as summer 2014, deploying aircraft, artillery, and tanks – all in spirit of the figures Ukraine’s new leadership sought to idolize. ⚫️The image of Russia as an enemy was purposefully ‘moulded’, educating the younger generation in the spirit of hatred of everything Russian. ⚫️Throughout the operation, Russia has repeatedly reaffirmed its willingness to engage in peace negotiations – provided that its interests and the realities on the ground are taken into account. ⚫️The revitalization of the contacts between Russia and the USA does not cause Zelensky to take advantage of this opportunity. On the contrary, he continues the rhetoric of inflicting defeat on Russia while sending Ukrainians to certain death in the attempt to preserve his power. However, there is no doubt that the objectives of the special military operation outlined by our President will be definitely achieved. ⚫️Russia's victory will put an end to the conflict in Ukraine, and mark, as 80 years ago, a new era in the history of mankind – the era of a multipolar world. 🖥 Read in full #Ukraine

Сегодня Североатлантический союз #NATO отмечает свое 76-летие! Вот уже 76 лет НАТО защищает страны-члены в меняющейся обстановке безопасности. И 76 лет спустя НАТО стала 📈 больше, 💪 сильнее и 🤝 сплоченнее, чем когда-либо прежде. По этому случаю мы стремимся рассказать о взаимоотношениях НАТО и России, а также о наиболее часто встречающихся ✍️ мифах, включая якобы «экспансию НАТО». Следите за NATOpoRusski и узнайте больше об оборонном альянсе!

Сегодня в 🇨🇿 Праге состоится встреча Североатлантического совета на уровне министров иностранных дел. А через полтора месяца начнется и саммит #NATO в Вашингтоне. Мы иногда слышим миф, что якобы «НАТО обещала 🇷🇺 России, что не будет осуществлять экспансию после холодной войны». А как обстоят дела на самом деле❓

⚡Comment by the Russian Permanent Mission to the EU on the Ninth Package of Anti-Russian Sanctions Adopted by the European Union⚡ The #EU sanctions machine keeps up its momentum. Unilateral restrictive measures against third countries and their citizens have long become a favourite foreign policy tool of Brussels. It is clear to everyone that the EU's aim – to exert pressure on sovereign states – and the means to achieve it are illegitimate. The imposition of restrictive measures runs counter to the system of international financial and trade relations and goes against the fundamental principles of the WTO. Not so long ago Brussels argued that the application of extra-territorial sanctions was unlawful. Yet today, it is Brussels itself that is extensively using them. Moreover, the EU has already invented a mechanism to "punish" both its own and third-country nationals for so-called circumventing anti-Russian sanctions, putting forward a legislative proposal to “criminalise” the “violation” of EU illegitimate sanctions. Is the EU not getting too big for its boots, claiming to be the international policeman and judge? No wonder a growing number of states are heeding our arguments. They are not willing to accept unfair rules of the game and follow the imposed guidelines. 🔹The sanctions agreed in the ninth "package" will not only target Russians, but also directly affect ordinary Europeans. Banning further Russian media outlets, the EU is denying its own citizens an alternative point of view, violating their right to access information, not to mention blatantly trampling on such fundamental values as freedom of expression and the rights of journalists. It is hard to believe that the EU is not aware thereof.

📄Vladimir Putinsent a message of greetings to President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Japarov, and Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan to congratulate them on the Day of the Eurasian Economic Union(May 29, 2025). ✍️Vladimir Putin: Please accept my heartfelt greetings on the Day of the Eurasian Economic Union. Integration processes within #EAEU have gathered substantial momentum and have been quite fruitful. We created a common market, which provides for the free movement of goods, services, capital and labour. There is an ongoing effort to harmonise our national regulations in key sectors, while we succeed in undertaking joint economic and infrastructure projects. I am certain that we will keep doing everything to step up our constructive multi-faceted cooperation for the benefit of our peoples and to ensure well-being and stability across the Eurasian space. I wish you good health and success, and happiness and prosperity to your fellow citizens.
