🎙 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.

💬Welcome to Military Chat & Ukraine Observer
🇺🇦On Ukraine Observer you will find your daily independent Ukraine War Battle Update
⚡️
🇷🇺
🇺🇦📆 Weekly Ukraine War Roundup⚡️
🗣 The Past Week saw continued global turbulence. The spotlight was on Trump’s introduction of sweeping protective tariffs, signalling a move towards super-protectionism. The era of globalism and idealistic notions of 'international division of labour' is fading, , giving way to intensifying trade wars. Washington aims to bring real industrial production back to the #US, streamline spending, and balance trade, particularly with #China. #EU officials voiced concern, but antiwar protests in cities like #Rome, with slogans like 'We need hospitals, not missiles,' better reflect public sentiment. Meanwhile, #Europe’s elite exploits the 'War with Russia' narrative to serve arms lobbies and divert funds from social programmes. The #US also saw protests, mainly driven by the societal split after years of liberal-fascist propaganda from Biden’s camp and its allies.
🇷🇺 In Diplomacy, the arrival of Dmitriev, envoy of the Supreme, in the #US was notable. His talks focused less on peace in #Ukraine and more on the economic benefits of working with us, compared to the costly, unconditional arms deliveries to Kiev.
🔸 Such Meetings are often spun at home as signs of a 'coming end to the war' which is misleading. Unquestioning belief in this narrative has weakened logistical support for the front and sparked rumours among troops about an imminent ceasefire. This undermines morale among fighters and officers, who see it as premature compromise.
⚔️ On the Fronts, while the RFAF maintain strategic initiative, the AFU is carrying out a defensive operation to slow our advance along the Line of Contact.
🔴 In the Invasion Zone, the AFU still hold #Kursk border settlements, while the RFAF fight deeper into #Sumy region. Battles continue at #Popovka and #Demidovka in #Belgorod region, with the AFU reinforcing across the border. Signals indicate they retain reserves for further provocations. In #Bryansk region, officials finally acknowledged daily AFU shelling of civilians, though some incidents go unreported, frustrating locals and raising doubts about regional control.
🔴 On the #Svatovo Front, north of #Kupyansk, the RFAF expand their bridgehead on the Oskol’s right bank. Southward, intense fighting continues. On the #Liman axis, control expands from #Katerinovka to #Ivanovka.
🔴 At #ChasovYar, fighting with little movement. Near #Konstantinovka, we have engaged in battles at #Andreyevka. After weeks of combat in #Toretsk, we shifted southward, taking #Panteleymonovka and #Aleksandropol, fierce clashes rage in #Tarasovka and at #ZelenoyePole.
🔴 Around #Pokrovsk, momentum has shifted, Russian troops now advancing in #Lysovka.
🔴 In #Komar Direction, clashes continue south of #Razliv, at #Vesyoloye and #VolnoyePole.
🔴 On the #Zaporozhye Front, Russian forces took #Lobkovoye after gains at #Shcherbaki and #Stepovoye. Reportedly renewed action at #Kamenskoye. In #Kherson region, mutual strikes, and the RF Aerospace Forces increased FAB use this week.
💥 A recent AFU Strike on a key fibre-optic plant highlighted weaknesses in our air defences. Command inertia, underuse of anti drone tools, poor coordination, and lack of accountability among senior officers still lead to avoidable damage, despite most UAVs being downed, often over towns. Low pay and unfair compensation remain concerns among air defence crews.
❇️ In Summary, any 'societal relaxation' amid continued heavy fighting and Kiev’s consistent disregard for agreements, while the #US keeps supplying arms and intelligence to the AFU, looks naive. Mocking the AFU or potential adversaries has already cost Russia dearly, leading to the war now entering its 4th year.
📌 Notes: A Russian view; in supplement: In #Toretsk itself, the RFAF also advanced. In #Basovka the battle has shiftet to its southern part (Sumy).🗺👆

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ 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. 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 #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. 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 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.
