Forwarded from Russian Embassy to the UK
๐ฏ We will always remember the British, Soviet and other Allied participants of World War II Arctic Convoys.
In Russia their sacrifice and heroism in battling the enemy and the elements are commemorated in many ways.
Recently, a new exhibition was launched in St Petersburg by the Northern Convoys International Centre Foundation. One section is dedicated specifically to British sailors and pilots who took part in the perilous runs and protected them.
Memorial services are regularly held by local communities and authorities at memorials in Arkhangelsk, Murmansk and St Petersburg.
Here, in the United Kingdom, Russian diplomats are laying wreaths at the Arctic Convoys memorials on the shores of Loch Ewe and Scapa Flow. This is an honour and privilege.

๐ The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation has compiled and issued a Report regarding the Situation with the Glorification of Nazism and the Spread of Neo-Nazism and Other Practices That Contribute to Fuelling Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance
Read in full (pdf)
The report continues the efforts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation to draw attention to the manifestations of various forms of glorification of the Nazi movement, neo-Nazism, racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in foreign countries.
The document reflects the line of Western countries aimed at fomenting rabid Russophobia. which has become one of the "manifestations" of their support for Ukraine against the background <...> Considerable attention is also paid to the actions of certain States, primarily the Baltic States, Poland and Ukraine, which <...> actively continue to destroy on their territory the entire array of Soviet and Russian, and often their own, memorial heritage and step up their activities to falsify the history of World War II.
๐ป The West is openly and unceremoniously changing historical concepts โ from equating the Nazi regime with the "totalitarian" Soviet one to attempting to place all responsibility for the war on the Soviet Union and declare it "a criminal worse than the Third Reich".
๐ป The meaning and, most importantly, the essence of the verdict of the International Military Tribunal for the trial and punishment of major war criminals of the European Axis countries (the Nuremberg Tribunal) is being deliberately blurred.
๐ป The political elites of the overwhelming majority of European and North American "democratic" states are trying their best to conceal from the international community, including their own citizens, the Nazi essence of the policy of the Kiev and similar regimes.
The absolute majority of members of the international community share Russia's approaches to the glorification of Nazism and the justification of racism.
In 2023, the Russian resolution was supported by the majority of the world's countries โ 1๏ธโฃ1๏ธโฃ8๏ธโฃ. 49 delegations voted against it, including the United States and Ukraine, as well as EU member states.
The manifestations of racial discrimination and glorification of Nazism pose a direct threat to the fundamental values of true democracy and human rights and a serious challenge to international and regional security and stability. <...>
โ๏ธ Russia, together with like-minded countries, does not intend to tolerate such racist and neo-colonial approaches and will oppose them in every possible way.

๐ Joint Statement of the First Ministerial Conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum on measures to create a fair and equitable system of International Information Security (Sochi, 10 November, 2024)
Key points
โข We advocate for the formation of a fair and equitable system of security in the use of ICTs aimed at preventing and peacefully resolving conflicts in the digital sphere, as well preventing the use of ICTs to commit actions that hinder the maintenance of international peace, security and stability.
โข We confirm the importance of both observing the generally recognized principles of international law and developing a universal legal binding framework in the field of security in the use of ICTs under the auspices of the United Nations.
โข We commend the launch of the UN Global Intergovernmental Points of Contact Directory with a view of enhancing a depoliticized dialogue between authorized agencies and specialists in the field of security in the use of ICTs.
โข We advocate for the internationalization of Internet governance, ensuring the equal participation of countries in this process while ensuring the integrity, stability and security of national segments of the Internet.
โข We proceed from the importance of providing all States with equal access to ICTs, including artificial intelligence (AI), ensuring the safety of their use, as well as the need to develop fair technical standards and requirements in the field of AI.
โข We call for Africaโs active and effective participation in AI development and undertake to jointly consider promotion of funding and capacity building programmes to facilitate inclusive digital transformation in line with the Continental AI Strategy. We support the hosting of the African Conference on AI in 2025.
โข We advocate for strict observance of the principles of the UN Charter and the national legislation of states by high-tech monopolies, as well as their responsibility for the safety of users' personal data and privacy.
โข We are deeply concerned about the disruptive effect of unlawful unilateral coercive measures, which undermine the UN Charter and further restrain technological development of member states.
โข We reaffirm our commitment to promoting respect for States sovereignty and sovereign equality in the ICTs environment and oppose unilateral actions that could undermine international cooperation in this domain.

โ๏ธ We strongly condemn all acts, methods and practices of terrorism, which are never justifiable, regardless of motivation or context.
