🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's interview to the newspaper "Arguments and Facts" (October 21, 2024)
Key Points:
#BRICS
• BRICS epitomises the shifts that have long been underway in the global economy. New centres of economic growth are emerging, and alongside them comes financial influence, which in turn brings political influence.
• BRICS is a consortium where no single nation leads or is led, devoid of the bureaucratic machinery akin to that observed in Brussels, where EU officials impose decisions that contravene the will and interests of several member states, failing to align with the aspirations of voters across many countries.
• BRICS does not stand in opposition to any entity, nor does it orchestrate operations or initiate projects. BRICS is committed to enhancing the combined potential of its nations and devising collaborative strategies for harnessing these potentials for mutual benefit.
• What makes BRICS and other World Majority or Global East associations that do not include Western countries stand out, is that they are not created for the purpose of struggling or fighting with anyone. They are established to collectively benefit from their competitive advantages such as geographical location, shared history, cultural and humanitarian proximity <...>.
#USA
• The US is unwilling to relinquish the reins of power that they have held since World War II through the Bretton Woods institutions and through the role assigned to the US dollar in the international monetary system, even after free exchange of US dollars for gold had been cancelled.
• The key goal of the US ruling class is to make sure no one can undermine their dominance. This goal is illusory. The historical process is objectively heading in a different direction, and this has to be reckoned with.
• We are ready to interact with any administration voted in by the American people, but only if such a dialogue is mutually respectful, and both parties listen and hear what the other party has to say.
#Ukraine
• On multiple occasions, European leaders from Brussels have repeatedly made it clear that they must support Ukraine for as long as it takes, because Ukraine is fighting for the European values.
• It turns out that European leaders are still willing to uphold Nazi values, which is why denazification is not just a motto, but an objective of utmost importance.
#UN
• The United Nations is not a valiant knight expected to “charge in and extinguish the fire” upon witnessing injustice. The UN is an assembly of its member states, each with established rules, including the Security Council's veto rights. The United States has effectively exercised this right five times over the past year, blocking a resolution proposed by several countries, including Russia, demanding an immediate ceasefire. <...> Presently, the United States is taking every measure to avoid antagonising Israel.
• Nations such as India, Brazil, and African representatives should have long held permanent seats on the Security Council. This is essential to ensure representation of the World Majority.
#Finland#Sweden#NATO
• The zeal that the Finns and Swedes are showing in NATO, advocating for defeating Russia, is not only rooted in their historical instincts. They are also eager to show their Big Brothers in the North Atlantic Alliance that they have brought added value <...>.
• I am confident that reasonable people in Europe, who have learned the lessons taught by history, see this too, including in Finland and Sweden.
#Europe
• To reiterate, the so-called right-wing conservatives are loyal to their countries and their people. We will engage with anyone who approaches us with a proposal to talk, to seek common ground, and to think about how we can jointly make the lives of our citizens better.
#EurasianSecurity
• We suggest discussing the Eurasian continent-wide security architecture, emphasising the fact that its doors will be open to everyone, including countries from the West of the Eurasian continent.
Trade liberalization can boost economic growth but its impact on income inequality is controversial. It can create new opportunities but also displace low-skilled workers, widening the gap between rich and poor. Developing economies should implement policies to counterbalance the negative effects.#InternationalRelations#EconomicGrowth#TradeLiberalization#IncomeInequality#PolicyAnalysis#DevelopingEconomies

🇺🇦📆 Weekly Ukraine War Roundup⚡️
🕊 The Negotiation Process is being deliberately prolonged.
Kiev refuses to halt mobilisation and is preparing new provocations, while the #EU pushes Zelensky forward at the expense of Europe's national interests. #Russia, recognising that a proposed 30-day ceasefire would allow the AFU to recover and fortify, is explaining to the #US why such a move is futile.
🗓 This Week's Key political Outcome has been the rapid advance of the Russian Army in the #Kursk region, the liberation of #Sudzha City, and battles in the Ukrainian #Sumy region.
🇷🇺 Russian military Successes precisely strengthen their negotiating position, as emphasised by the Supreme Commander, President Putin, during a meeting at the command post in #Kursk region. Overall, #Russia seeks a long-term, stable peace, not short-term satisfaction of Trump’s ambitions. Conversations with frontline soldiers, who have fought in the hardest sectors since the war began, confirm the Russian Army's readiness to push forward until the full objectives of the Special Military Operation are achieved.
🇺🇦 Kiev’s Position has notably shifted significantly. Initially, it demanded a return to the '1991 borders,' then to the 'Prewar Borders,' and now Zelensky is prepared to freeze the conflict along the current frontline. This is unacceptable to #Russia within its new constitutional borders. Moreover, any pause in fighting benefits the retreating side.
🇺🇸 The United States, meanwhile, has resumed providing intelligence and military-technical aid to #Ukraine, while European bureaucrats fuel war hysteria and prepare for direct conflict with #Russia. This is seen in #Poland and #Germany expanding their armed forces (including territorial defence and universal military training) and in military production ramp-ups, generating huge profits for arms manufacturers.
⚔️ On the Front, Russian success in the #Kursk region sets the stage for further advances in the #Sumy direction. The AFU had anticipated this and prepared defensive lines.
🔴 In #Belgorod Region, the AFU continue daily strikes on civilians using artillery and drones.
🔴#Svatovo Front:
🔴 In #Kupyansk Sector, reports indicate AFU counteractions against the Russian bridgeheads on the right bank of the Oskol River.
🔴 In #Liman Sector, Russian forces remain active near #Kolodezi and #Yampolovka.
🔴 In #Seversk Sector, Russian troops are advancing with heavy fighting from #Belogorovka towards #Grigorovka.
🔴 ChasovYar Direction:
🔴 In #Toretsk Sector, the AFU continue deploying personnel and equipment in the city itself, with battles ongoing for the urban agglomeration.
🔴 In #Pokrovsk Direction, north of #Vozdvizhenka, fighting is underway near #Tarasovka, where the AFU has built strong defensive positions. Near the city, positional battles continued throughout the week, but by the end of the week, Russian forces regained the initiative.
🔴 In #Komar Direction, northwest of the conquered #Konstantinopol, Russian troops are aligning the front by advancing westward. In #Komar sector, #Dneproenergiya has been secured.
🔴 On the #Zaporozhye Front, the capture of #Pyatihatki and #Stepovoye was key, with battles ongoing for #Shcherbaki and #MalyeShcherbaki.
📌 Given the Events, political discussions about peace should not be seen as a signal for an imminent ceasefire. Politicians make statements to mislead opponents and provoke mistakes. It is crucial to understand that, beyond Russia’s constitutionally recognised regions, previously declared Russian cities #Odessa, #Kharkov, #Nikolayev, #Dnepropetrovsk, and even #Kiev will remain under Western control unless the Kiev Regime is fully dismantled, posing a lasting threat to #Russia.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 15 March 2025; 06:29 (GMT+3)⚡️
🛡More than 20 UAVs were downed by air defence and EW means over the #Voronezh region at night. The governor of the #Bryansk region also reported that an UAV attack had been repelled. Local media reported explosions (15-20) over #Volgograd, with one drone downed near 'Sarepta Station.' The likely target was the local oil refinery, with footage of a fire emerging. During the day, a drone crashed in the centre of #Dzhankoy (#Crimea), injuring 2 women. The UAV damaged a café, and shrapnel struck 2 private houses and a church. There were 3 wounded.
🎯 Russian Forces, in turn, targeted industrial zones and the port in #Odessa and its surroundings with Geranium drones. A fire broke out at an electrical substation following one of the strikes, and the regional administration reported that #Chernomorsk (#Ilyichevsk) was completely blacked out due to damage to the energy infrastructure. The enemy also reported strikes on #Chernigov, #Pavlograd, #Cherkassy, #Starokonstantinov, the Bogodukhovsky district of the #Kharkov region, as well as the #Vinnitsa and #Kiev regions.
🔹 In #Kursk Region, the destruction of remaining enemy forces attempting to retreat into the #Sumy region continues. Trump has stated that thousands of AFU militants are encircled. The final settlements left to be liberated are #Gogolevka, #Gornal, #Oleshnya, and #Guyevo. The enemy is striking liberated territories. AFU Nazis targeted the local history museum in #Sudzha, an architectural monument from the late 19th century. A museum employee, who had remained in the city during the occupation and had come to inspect the building, was killed. 2 other employees were wounded. Since 12 March, 209 residents have been evacuated from the liberated settlements. Amid the Russian Army’s advance and the Supreme Command’s objective of creating a buffer zone, mandatory evacuation has begun in 8 villages near the border in the #Yunakovka and #Miropolye communities of the #Sumy region. Russian forces have already pushed into enemy territory towards #Basovka and #Zhuravka.
Until demining operations are completed, the authorities in the region have imposed temporary entry restrictions in 122 settlements across 6 districts bordering #Ukraine.
🔹 In the North of #Kupyansk Direction, reports indicate clashes with AFU forces near #Figolevka on the right bank of the Oskol.
🔹 In #Pokrovsk Direction, fighting continues near #Udachnoye, #Kotlino, #Peschanoye, #Shevchenko, and #Tarasovka. The enemy claims that Russian units, freed up after the liberation of #Konstantinovka, have been redeployed to #Pokrovsk to increase pressure.
🔹 On the #Vremyevka Ledge, the 'Group of Troops East' continues advancing towards #Bogatyr west of the village. Fighting is ongoing in the areas of #Dneproenergiya and #Burlatskoye.
🔹 On the #Zaporozhye Front, reports indicate Russian success near #Shcherbaki and #MalyeShcherbaki.🗺👆Russian units continue to assault enemy positions in the forest plantations. From the southern side, airborne troops have entered #Shcherbaki, assaulting enemy fortifications and strongpoints. The enemy has pulled back its main forces, leaving observation posts in the village manned with machine gun and rifle crews, supported by artillery and kamikaze drones. #Shcherbaki is nearly cleared. Assault groups of the Russian Airborne Forces are advancing from the south towards #MalyeShcherbaki and from the east towards #Shcherbaki.
💥 In #Belgorod Region, the enemy continues heavy strikes.
#Valuyki, #Kukuyevka, #Murom, #Shebekino, #Tishanka in the Volokonovsky district, and #YasnyeZori in the Belgorod district are under attack.
💥 In #Gorlovka (#DPR), a Nazi drone strike injured a 1951-born woman and a 1981-born man. A 1970-born man was injured by enemy barrel artillery.
