🎙 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.
❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦✈️On drone production in Ukraine- an analysis by Rybar and Military Chronicles
We have already written about possible attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces using drones against targets in the Russian Federation. Most of such UAVs are produced and modernized in Ukraine under the direct patronage of Western engineers.
🔻Where exactly are the UAVs being assembled and retrofitted?
Back in the spring, after several successful Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian defense industry factories and enterprises, it was decided to distribute drone assembly among industrial facilities in different regions of Ukraine.
There are now more than a dozen facilities in Ukraine where drones and guided missile weapons are assembled, modernized and redesigned. Relatively small, sometimes abandoned (or disguised as such) buildings are used for these purposes.
This has made it possible to secure the assembly lines from repeated strikes by the Russian Armed Forces against the facilities of the military-industrial complex. Even if one of the buildings is hit, production is reallocated to other facilities until the destroyed facility is restored.
🔻How is everything organized?
▪️In #Kiev, specialists at the Paton Institute are upgrading long-range missiles for various weapons, including artillery, MLRS and aviation, to high-precision weapons equipped with satellite or inertial navigation modules.
The assembly of components for such munitions was organized at an abandoned workshop in Novaya Greblya, 70 km from Kiev. The necessary equipment was brought there, and air defense equipment was placed in a nearby forest.
▪️ The industrial workshops at the Sambor metalware plant in the #Lviv region and at the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau in Dnepropetrovsk are upgrading the barrage munitions. The production technology has been established by studying the surviving Geran-2 ammunition, as well as by supplying the components required for the UAV from abroad.
▪️Analogous production is deployed at the Kommunar plant, the Khartron-Arkos research and production enterprise, and the FED Kharkiv Machine Building Plant. Near these facilities there is at least one anti-aircraft missile system, reinforced by territorial defense squads on duty with MANPADs on the roofs of neighboring houses.
🔻What's next?
According to our data, the drones required for strikes deep in Russian territory are already ready. Right now, Ukrainian formations are just waiting for permission from their Western handlers.
Other UAVs, such as the Chinese Mugin-5, mono-wings-dirigibles and balloons are being deployed to conduct reconnaissance or "probe" the Russian air defense.
These drones do not need a runway, so they can be launched from almost any area where control points or signal repeaters are located.
🔻 At the moment, there are launch and control sites for UAVs capable of striking at Russian territory in Mirnograd in the DNR, Spassky in the #Sumy Region, Volnyansk in the #Zaporozhye Region, as well as #Dnepropetrovsk, #Nikolayev and #Odessa.
Control points for drones in these cities are equipped on civilian infrastructure or in fields and wastelands. There is also maintenance and final adjustment of the drones before their massive launch at the set targets.

🇺🇦📆 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 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.
