🎙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.

🇺🇦📆 Weekly Ukraine War Roundup⚡️
🕊 The Negotiation Process was repeatedly undermined by Ukraine, which not only targeted key Russian energy sites with UAVs but also destroyed the strategic 'Sudzha Gas Metering Station.' Reports suggest a British HIMARS crew, using the #US system and French satellite support, was involved, though the full extent of foreign involvement remains to be clarified. Trump's team has hinted that ending the war in 100 Days is unlikely, while #US military aid and intelligence sharing with Kiev continue.
🇷🇺#Russia’s Battlefield Advances remain the main negotiating factor, given economic size and limited diplomatic progress. European bureaucrats, having sacrificed national interests for Washington, now fuel war hysteria to justify arms production. Military preparations against #Russia are evident, with discussions about restoring 'Nord Stream' taking on strategic importance. #Germany has postponed its green transition from 2030 to 2038, while Rheinmetall scrambles to increase arms output.
⚔️Frontline Situation
🔴 In #Sumy Region, there is progress, with Russian forces capturing #Veselovka, another village near #Zhuravka.
🔴 In #Kursk Region, heavy fighting continues. Russian forces have liberated new areas, reaching the 'Sudzha Border Checkpoint.' The AFU retains only two small pockets, offering no real bargaining power.
🔴 In #Belgorod Region, in the border sector, Russian troops fight mobile defensive battles near #Popovka and #Demidovka, areas that have changed hands multiple times last week. The AFU continues to shell the region, inflicting civilian casualties. Despite losing dozens of vehicles, Ukrainian forces retain offensive potential in the #KrasnayaYaruga sector. Additional enemy troop concentrations towards #Belgorod could force 'Group of Troops North' to redeploy units for defence rather than using them in the #Sumy offensive.
🔴 On the #Svatovo Front, further east, Russian forces secured #Krasnoye1st in #Kupyansk sector, expanding their Oskol River bridgehead and threatening the enemy’s flank.
🔴 In other Front Sections, #Russia maintains strategic initiative. South of #Toretsk, Russian forces stretch AFU defences by attacking the 'pocket' on the right #Pokrovsk flank, taking #Aleksandropol and #Panteleymonovka. Battles continue for #Tarasovka. Heavy fighting persists near #Pokrovsk, where the AFU is counterattacking. On the left flank, the RFAF advanced towards #Kotlyarovka, reigniting discussions about reaching the #Dnepropetrovsk region. In #Komar Direction (north of #VelikayaNovosyolka), Russian troops push forward daily.
🔴 In #Zaporozhye Direction, Russian airborne units advance through #Stepovoye and #MalyeShcherbaki towards #Shcherbaki and #Orekhov. In #Kherson, the AFU attempts to create pressure points on the Russian-held bank, particularly near the railway bridge. Ukrainian sabotage groups in the Black Sea continue drone attacks on #Crimea.
🇺🇦The AFU remains capable of organised defence and counterattacks, tying down Russian forces in #Belgorod region. #NATO flights to #Poland confirm that Western aid, though reduced, still reaches the front. Forced conscription enables Kiev, fully reliant on #EU support, to replenish losses and plan new operations.
❗️Talk of an imminent AFU Collapse or successful peace initiatives is premature and damages the RFAF morale. The ongoing need for mobilised troops, now officially acknowledged, shows Russia cannot yet replace them with contract volunteers. Continued reliance on volunteer support also highlights logistical gaps. As #Europe edges closer to war preparations, the need for military reform becomes increasingly urgent.
📌 Notes: A Russian view; in supplement: West of #Toretsk, the AFU advanced in #Shcherbinovka. The RFAF reentered #Uspenovka (#Pokrovsk, left flank).

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 13 March 2025; 06:46 (GMT+3)⚡️
🎯 Enemy Sources reported another wave of strikes using FABs with UMPC, OTRK, and 'Geranium' drones. Explosions were reported in the #Sumy, #Kherson, #Nikolayev, #Odessa, #Khmelnitsky, #Dnepropetrovsk, #Zaporozhye, #Kiev and #Cherkassy regions.
🔹 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.

🔹 In #Sumy Region, meanwhile, clashes continue along the #Novenkoye – #Basovka axis.
🔹 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.

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.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 12 March 2025; 06:27 (GMT+3)⚡️
🔹 The Russian Army continues its #Kursk offensive with decisive objectives. Yesterday, #KazachyaLoknya, #Zamostye, #Makhnovka, #Mirny, #Bondarevka, #Dmitryukov, and #Knyazhy1st and #Knyazhy2nd hamlets were liberated. Russian forces are advancing from #Sudzha’s industrial zone and central market, with reports of movement in the built-up areas. Footage has emerged of Ukrainian infantry retreating westward. Russian troops are also active in the #Sumy region near #Zhuravka. The #Sudzha – #Yunakovka Motorway is under Russian fire control, and AFU reinforcements attempting to enter the #Kursk region have been repelled. Heavy battles for the region’s liberation continue.
🎯 Russian Forces struck targets in #Odessa region overnight, with the enemy claiming a 'cargo ship carrying grain' was damaged. Confirmed strikes hit infrastructure in #Dnepropetrovsk, with explosions reported in #Kiev, #Pavlograd, #Kramatorsk, #SnakeIsland, as well as in the #Cherkassy, #Kharkov, #Sumy, and #Khmelnitsky regions.
🛡 Russian Air Defences repelled a night-time attack on the #Bryansk region.

🔹 On the #Vremyevka Ledge, north of #VelikayaNovosyolka, the 'East Group of Troops' has secured #Dneprenergiya. The enemy claims successful counterattacks in #Novosyolka.
🔹 On the #Zaporozhye Front, Russian forces raised the flag over #Pyatikhatki after prolonged heavy battles.🎬👆The village, situated in a low-lying area, has been in ruins since summer 2023 and lacks underground shelters, making long term consolidation uncertain.
💥 In #Belgorod Region, the AFU continues to target civilians. In Shebekino district, a UAV attack damaged equipment at a commercial facility in #Dobroye. In #Shamino, an FPV drone struck a civilian car. Another drone hit a private residence in #NizhneyeBeryozovo2nd. In Grayvoron district, a UAV detonation in a private residence in #Glotovo caused an attic fire. In #Valuyki, an FPV drone damaged a car and shattered windows.
