🎙Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's remarks at the 46th meeting of the Council of Heads of Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation under the Russian Foreign Ministry on interregional cooperation with African countries(April 8, 2026, Moscow)
💬 Russia and Africa are bound by long-standing and close ties.
Today, the countries of the continent are striving to finally overcome the remnants of colonial dependence and to strengthen their national sovereignty, above all in the economic and financial spheres.
Those who describe the current period as Africa’s “second awakening” after the decolonisation of the 1960s are right. It was then that political independence was proclaimed, above all thanks to the decisive role of the Soviet Union, which promoted the relevant declarations at the UN.
☝️Recent years have shown that neo-colonial dependence has by no means disappeared. Economically and financially, in terms of control over trade routes and financial flows, Africa still does not enjoy full independence and continues, in economic terms, to serve as a source of raw materials.
👉The lion’s share of added value is still generated elsewhere – to a large extent, and decisively so, in the former metropolitan powers.
African partners spoke about this more than once at the two Russia-African Union summits held in Sochi in 2019 and in St Petersburg in 2023. The decisions adopted at those summits should serve as guidelines in preparing for the next summit, which we plan to hold later this year.
All this will contribute to Africa’s economic emancipation, ensure that it reaps the proper returns and benefits from its natural resources, and support the emergence of the African continent as one of the centres of the rising #MultipolarWorld.
🤝 I would like to stress in particular that we are restoring our presence on the African continent fairly rapidly, after it declined sharply during the breakup of the Soviet Union. At present, Russia has 45 embassies operating across the continent, with four more set to open in the near future.
The key upcoming event on the foreign policy calendar is the third Russia-Africa Summit. It is due to be held in Moscow – this has been agreed – in late October this year. Preparations are currently underway. We count on the active participation of Russian regions in the relevant thematic sessions of this summit.
I would once again like to underscore the special importance we attach to the interregional dimension of Russia-Africa relations. It is a solid foundation which, as it grows stronger, helps ensure the steady development of relations with our partners at the national level.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 13 March 2025; 06:46 (GMT+3)⚡️

🔹 In #Kursk Region, the key event was the liberation of #Sudzha.🗺👆 Russian forces have full control of the city, conducting clearing operations against remaining enemy fighters hiding in basements and shelters. The settlements of #Podol and #Melovoy have also been secured. Dozens of civilians, who had survived under enemy occupation, were evacuated from the liberated villages. The AFU continues launching long-range US MLRS strikes on the region. Yesterday morning, the AFU attacked a feed factory in the village of #Kozyrevka, Bolshesoldatsky district, killing four employees and seriously wounding another. The Supreme Commander visited the command post of the Russian Grouping, setting the task of expanding the buffer zone along the border and fully defeating enemy forces in the #Kursk region.

🔹 In #Liman Section, fighting is ongoing towards #Novoye and south of #Yampolovka, where the AFU is offering organised resistance and bringing in reserves.
🔹 In #Toretsk, the situation remains unchanged. The enemy continues infiltrating units into the urban area. While the AFU has no chance of altering the situation, eliminating the enemy groups that have managed to break through consumes time and resources.
🔹 In #Pokrovsk Direction, Russian forces are attacking in the areas of #Uspenovka, #Udachnoye, and #Kotlino. Heavy fighting continues in #Peschanoye and #Shevchenko, with no significant territorial gains for a long time. The enemy has reinforced this sector with reserves, including units trained in EU countries, and is suffering heavy losses in counterattacks. South of #Yasenevo, Russian forces are also attacking to straighten the front line.
🔹 On the #Vremyevka Ledge, Russian forces have raised the flag over the northern part of #Dneproenergiya, confirming the capture of the settlement.
🔹 On the #Zaporozhye Front, intense combat continues in the #Orekhov direction and on the approaches to #Shcherbaki. Russian forces are making progress, and positive developments from this axis are expected.
💥 In #Belgorod Region, the AFU Nazis continues their attacks. In the hamlet of #Tserkovny, Belgorod district, a drone struck a civilian car. Another vehicle was attacked by an FPV drone in the village of #Terebreno, Krasnoyaruzhsky district. A social facility was hit in #Tishanka, Volokonovsky district. In #Shvedunovka, Valuysky district, a drone detonated near a private house.
💥 In the #DPR, in #Nikolskoye, Volnovakha municipal district, a man born in 1975 was killed by the detonation of an explosive device. Near a reservoir in #Ilovaysk, a 17-year-old boy was injured due to the detonation of an explosive device.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 10 March 2025; 06:39 (GMT+3)⚡️
🔹 In #Kursk Region, in two full days of large-scale Russian Army offensive operations, significant gains have been achieved.🗺🎬👆Liberated settlements include #MalayaLoknya, #Loknya, #Nikolsky, #Lebedevka, #Kositsa, #Pravda, #Martynovka, #Kubatkin, #Viktorovka, #StarayaSorochina, and #CherkasskoyePorechnoye. This morning, reports confirmed the capture of #Makhnovka near #Sudzha, where retreating enemy forces are regrouping. Fighting is ongoing on the outskirts of #Sudzha. Several settlements were seized thanks to a 'pipeline manoeuvre - Russian assault units advanced over 15 km in a narrow space, emerging behind enemy lines and engaging in battle, causing panic. Until reinforcements arrived, assault groups fought encircled, awaiting a breakthrough. #Novenkoye in the #Sumy region has also been captured, roads are under fire control, and bridges have been destroyed to prevent enemy retreat. The objective is not to push AFU forces back but to annihilate them. This decisive push, combined with prolonged preparation and intense combat, has yielded significant results, marking the beginning of an operation that will go down in history.
🛡 Several UAVs were destroyed or suppressed in two districts of the Voronezh region overnight. Explosions were reported in #Novokuybyshevsk, #Samara region. Russian forces targeted a gas distribution station near #Lucerna (north of #Zaporozhye) with Geran drones. Additional explosions were reported in the #Kiev and #Dnepropetrovsk regions.
🔹 North and South of #Kupyansk, on the western bank of the Oskol River, AFU is urgently reinforcing positions westward in response to Russian foothold expansion.
🔹 In #Toretsk, the enemy continues sending personnel and equipment through gaps in Russian defences, only to end up surrounded and facing superior Russian forces.
🔹 Near #Pokrovsk, Russian troops are engaged in combat with counterattacking AFU units near #Peschanoye and #Shevchenko, with villages frequently changing hands.
🔹 West of #Kurakhovo, #Konstantinopol has been captured, confirmed by multiple videos showing Russian troops raising flags in different parts of the settlement.
🔹 On the #Zaporozhye Front, Russian forces continue fierce battles for #Pyatikhatki and advance towards #Shcherbaki. Air support is assisting infantry by striking enemy positions. Reports also indicate progress towards #Danilovka, north of #Rabotino.
