✍️Përgjigjet e Ministrisë së Punëve të Jashtme të Rusisë pyetjeve të mediave, të paraqitura për konferencën e shtypit të S.V.Lavrov mbi rezultatet e veprimtarisë së diplomatisë ruse në vitin 2025 Temat kryesore: #KrizaUkrainase #KrimetERegjimitTëKievit • [Pas sulmit në rezidencën shtetërore të Presidentit të Rusisë në rajonin e Novgorodit] shumë vende patën mundësinë për t'u bindur edhe një herë për thelbin terroristik të klikës së Zelensky-t <...> ❗️Terrorizmi në çdo formë është i papranueshëm dhe, sigurisht, nuk kontribuon në arritjen e një zgjidhjeje politiko-diplomatike të konfliktit. Me mënyrën e tij të pamendtë, Kievi vetëm sa ndërlikon jetën e tij, duke vështirësuar kërkimin e opsioneve të mundshme të kompromisit. • Vendosja në Ukrainë e njësive ushtarake, objekteve ushtarake, depove dhe çdo infrastrukture tjetër të vendeve perëndimore <...> do të konsiderohet si një ndërhyrje e huaj, që përbën një kërcënim të drejtpërdrejtë për sigurinë e Rusisë. #BotaShumëpolare • Situata rreth autonomisë veriore daneze tregon në mënyrë mjaft të shprehur paaftësinë e atij "rendi botëror të bazuar në rregulla", kaq të dashur nga shumë në Perëndim. • Në mënyrë aktive po zhvillohet bashkëpunimi në formate me pjesëmarrje të kufizuar. Së bashku me #CIS, mekanizma të tillë si #EAEU, #BRICS, #SCO, #ASEAN, #LAS, #GCC, #AfricanUnion, #CELAC dhe të tjerë po ruajnë dinamikën.. <...> I vlerësojmë këto shfaqje si pjesë e një procesi historikisht të kushtëzuar të formimit të një rendi botëror shumëpolar, i cili do të çojë në formimin e mëtejshëm të disa qendrave globale dhe të një numri edhe më të madh të qendrave rajonale të forcës dhe zhvillimit. #SiguriaNdërkombëtare • Sistemi i sigurisë ndërkombëtare me të vërtetë po përjeton sot një periudhë transformimi të thellë. Kjo kushtëzohet nga dy arsye: proceset e formimit të një rendi botëror policentrik dhe përpjekjet për të zëvendësuar të drejtën ndërkombëtare me "të drejtën e të fortit". • Fokusimi te forca si një mjet kryesor i politikës së jashtme dhe prishja e kornizës ekzistuese institucionale dhe të së drejtës të marrëdhënieve ndërkombëtare sjell kaos dhe rritje të konfrontimit, <...> përforcim të rreziqeve të përplasjes mes fuqive të mëdha, përfshirë ato bërthamore. • Rusia është kundër një skenari të tillë. Ne jemi në gjendje të mbrohemi vetë — historia njeh shumë shembuj për këtë. <...> Vendi ynë ka luajtur gjithmonë një rol balancues, mbështetës të ekuilibrit në proceset botërore. #RusiaSHBA • Pas kthimit të D.Trump në Shtëpinë e Bardhë, presidentët e Rusisë dhe të SHBA-së <...> ranë dakord për një ritëm të lartë pune. Si bazë u mor kuptimi i përbashkët për nevojën për t'u çliruar sa më shpejt të jetë e mundur nga "trashëgimia toksike" e J.Bajdenit. <...> Kolegët amerikanë e bënë të qartë: fuqitë e mëdha, në rast mospërputhjesh të interesave kombëtare <...>, nuk duhet të lejojnë që mospërputhjet të kthehen në konfrontim. • Presidenti D.Trumpështë një nga politikanët e rrallë perëndimorë, i cili jo vetëm që refuzoi menjëherë parashtrimin e parakushteve të pakuptimta dhe destruktive për fillimin e një dialogu përmbajtës me Moskën për krizën ukrainase, por edhe foli publikisht për shkaqet rrënjësore të saj. • Pikërisht për eliminimin e shkaqeve themeloretë konfliktit u bisedua në Ankorage më 15 gusht 2025. Shpresojmë se, me kusht ruajtjen e formulës origjinale të Ankorage, si dhe një qasjeje të kujdesshme ndaj interesave të palës ruse, herët a vonë do të jemi në gjendje t'i afrohemi ngushtë një zgjidhjeje negociuese të problemit ukrainas. #Irani • Dënojmë me vendosmëri ndërhyrjen nëntrupëruese të jashtme në proceset e brendshme politike në Iran. <...> Kërcënimet për të shkaktuar goditje të reja ushtarake në territorin e Republikës Islame janë kategorikisht të papranueshme. • Ata që planifikojnë të përdorin trazirat e inspiruara nga jashtë si pretekst për të përsëritur agresionin kundër Iranit <...duhet të kuptojnë pasojat shkatërruese të këtyre veprimeve për situatën në Lindjen e Afërt dhe të Mesme.

⚡️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’sstatement and answers to questions at the Government Hour hearings during a plenary session of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation (February 11, 2026): Key takeaways: • The world is undergoing a long-term transition to a multipolar order, marked by growing competition between the Western minority and the World Majority. • Western countries continue to pursue neo-colonial policies, double standards, and attempts to preserve dominance, including through pressure, destabilisation, and military actions. • Russia views current global upheavals as part of a profound and lasting shift in international relations, not a temporary phase. • Strategic stability is deteriorating due to Western actions, while Russia maintains responsible conduct and observes arms control limits as long as the US does the same. • The Arctic should remain a zone of peace and cooperation; Russia will respond if military threats against it emerge there. • Russia rejects Western double standards on self-determination, defending the choices of #Crimea, #Donbass, and #Novorossiya. ❗️A sustainable settlement in Ukraine is impossible without addressing root causes; understandings reached with the US in 2025 remain valid. • Russia continues negotiations to ensure its security, protect Russian-speaking populations, and eliminate threats from the Kiev regime and its external sponsors. • The comprehensive strategic partnership with #China is a stabilising factor in global affairs and a cornerstone of regional security. • Strategic partnerships with #Belarus, the #DPRK, #Iran, the #CIS and the #CSTO members strengthen regional stability and Russia’s security. • Russia is deepening ties across #Eurasia, including with India, Türkiye, the Arab world, Southeast Asia, and regional organisations such as the #EAEU, #SCO, and #ASEAN. • The #Russia-#Africa partnership is expanding, with preparations underway for the Third Russia-Africa Summit. • #BRICS is emerging as a key platform for the World Majority, promoting cooperation free from sanctions and Western restrictions. • Russia supports #GlobalSouth efforts against modern forms of colonialism and unilateral coercive measures, including through new UN international days.

🎙 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.

🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's interview to Rossiya Segodnya news agency (November 5, 2024) #BRICS • The XVI BRICS Summit in Kazan came as a landmark international event not only of the year, but in recent history as well. Its success highlighted the futility of attempts to isolate Russia internationally. • As we sensed during the Summit, [the creation of a payment network that is resistant to external risks] is what non-Western countries are increasingly interested in. #MiddleEast Since the onset of unprecedented crisis [in the Middle East] in October 2023, the BRICS countries have come together to support the rights of the civilian population in the Gaza Strip. • Shortly after the beginning of the Israeli operation in Gaza, we coordinated with our BRICS partners and other like-minded nations to submit a draft resolution to the UN Security Council, calling for an end to military actions and for unhindered humanitarian access to Gaza. However, this resolution was blocked by the United States and its allies. #NATO • If [long-range] weapons are employed [by the Kiev regime to attack the territory of Russia], it would mean that not only Ukraine but also NATO countries are openly fighting Russia. • Our opponents should not disillusion themselves. In the event of aggression by NATO or its individual member states against our country, an appropriate response will ensue, in full compliance with Russia's sovereign right to self-defence and with the use of any means necessary to ensure its security, as stipulated in the UN Charter. And none of the instigators will be able to lie low, not across the Atlantic Ocean nor across the English Channel. #Ukraine#UN • Kiev continues to exert pressure on Antonio Guterres, demonstrating a blatant disregard for the UN Charter in an attempt to compel him and the entire UN Secretariat to align completely with Ukraine and its Western sponsors. This approach directly contravenes the constituent instrument of the Organisation, specifically paragraph 2 of Article 100 of the UN Charter, which prohibits any member state from attempting to influence the Secretary-General or other UN representatives. #Transnistria#Moldova • The situation surrounding Transnistria is complex. <...> I trust that the Moldovan authorities will exercise sufficient common sense to avoid ill-considered actions that could exacerbate tensions. • There are suggestions that the regional context necessitates new dialogue platforms on the Transnistrian issue, questioning the value of the 5+2 format. We disagree with this view and believe that external assistance to facilitate direct dialogue between Chisinau and Tiraspol is essential. #USA • Washington continues to actively perpetuate its own myth of Russian interference in any election, whether "at home" or in any third country. If an election results in a victory for forces undesirable to the United States, Russia is immediately blamed for the "wrong" electoral choice of the voters. • The Americans are attempting to attribute to us actions they themselves are engaged in. As the saying goes, God marks the crook. #Georgia • The United States and the EU are artificially trying to frame the current electoral process in Georgia as a strategic choice between Russia and the West, thereby attempting to present Georgia and other post-Soviet states with a false dilemma. • In reality, it is a choice between sovereign development based on national interests and external governance, between traditional values and neo-liberal principles imposed from outside. #SouthCaucasus • We commend the significant progress made within the Azerbaijani-Armenian peace process. • Unlike Western pseudo-mediators, we refrain from pressuring our partners into hastily concluding a peace treaty. We are convinced that a rushed peace, lacking comprehensive consideration of Baku and Yerevan's positions and the realities on the ground, would be counterproductive, creating additional risks of tension and potential conflict

Embassy Comment We have noted the article by Jonathan Eyal “#EU renewed toothless #sanctions against #Russia”, published in The Straits Times on February 1, 2025. We agree with the author that the unilateral illegitimate sanctions aimed at continuing the hybrid war against Russia and inflicting a strategic defeat on us, are both unsuccessful and futile. There is no doubt that the objectives of the special military operation (#SMO) on the #denazification and demilitarization of #Ukraine, its neutral and non-nuclear status, as well as ensuring the interests of the Russian people will be achieved. The “bankrupt” Euro-Atlantic security architecture (#NATO) is being replaced by a new equal and indivisible #EurasianSecurity, which includes all the organizations that have demonstrated their effectiveness – the #EAEU, #SCO, #CSTO, etc. The concept of #Eurasian security aligns with the accelerating formation of a multipolar world order. A key pillar of this shift is the rapidly growing, non-Western center of influence represented by #BRICS, which continues to attract countries from the #GlobalSouth, including #ASEAN member states, paving the way for a BRICS-ASEAN dialogue. The consolidation of the countries of the Global South, making a choice in favor of peaceful, sustainable, inclusive, independent development together with Russia, China and other countries, represents a stable and viable trend in contrast to the outdated Western neocolonial “#InSanctionsWeTrust” mentality.
