⚡️ Russia's Foreign Ministry statement regarding the forcible seizure of the oil tanker Marinera
Read in full
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses grave concern over the illegal use of force by the United States Armed Forces against the oil tanker Marinera on January 7.
The Marinera, which was temporarily authorised to fly the Russian flag on December 24 in accordance with international and Russian law, was transiting peacefully through international waters of the North Atlantic en route to a Russian port.
US authorities, including through official communications with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, were repeatedly provided with reliable information confirming the vessel’s Russian registration and its civilian, non-military status.
There could have been no doubt regarding this fact, nor any basis for alleging that the tanker was sailing “without a flag” or “under a false flag.”
International maritime law explicitly grants the flag state exclusive jurisdiction over its vessels on the high seas. Stopping and inspecting a vessel in international waters is permitted only under narrowly defined circumstances, such as suspected piracy or slave trading – neither of which apply to the Marinera.
In all other cases, such actions require the consent of the flag state, which in this instance is Russia.
❗️ Not only did Russia refuse to provide such consent, it formally protested to US authorities in recent weeks over the continued pursuit of the Marinera by a US Coast Guard vessel, demanding an immediate end to the pursuit and the withdrawal of unlawful demands made to the Russian ship’s captain.
Under these circumstances, the boarding and de facto seizure of a civilian vessel on the high seas by US military personnel, along with the detention of its crew, can only be viewed as a gross violation of fundamental principles and norms of international maritime law and the freedom of navigation.
This constitutes a serious infringement upon the legitimate rights and interests of the shipowner. The lives and health of the Marinera’s crew, which includes citizens of several countries, are now at risk.
We consider the threats of legal action against them on absurd grounds by US authorities to be utterly unacceptable.
<...>
❌ References by the United States to its domestic “sanctions legislation” are without legal foundation. The unilateral restrictive measures imposed by the US and other Western countries are illegitimate and cannot justify attempts to assert jurisdiction, let alone the seizure of vessels, on the high seas.
Suggestions from certain US officials that the seizure of the Marinera is part of a broader strategy to establish Washington’s unlimited control over Venezuela’s natural resources are profoundly cynical.
We categorically reject such neo-colonial ambitions.
Alongside the US administration’s disregard for the accepted norms of international maritime navigation, Washington’s readiness to provoke acute international crises, including in Russian-American relations, which are already severely strained, is both regrettable and alarming.
The Marinera incident can only lead to a further escalation of military-political tensions in the Euro-Atlantic region and a dangerous lowering of the threshold for using force against civilian shipping.
<...>
☝️ We call on Washington to return to the established norms and principles of international maritime law and to immediately cease its unlawful actions against the Marinera and other vessels engaged in lawful activities on the high seas.
We reiterate our demand that the United States ensure appropriate and humane treatment of the Russian citizens on board, fully respect their rights, and facilitate their swift return home.

⚡️ On false allegations against the Russian side regarding damage to Embassy of Qatar in Kiev
Ukrainian sources are circulating reports alleging that the Embassy of the State of Qatar in Kiev sustained damage during the Russian strike on January 9.
Diplomatic missions have never been targeted by the Russian Armed Forces.
There were no military or other designated targets located in the immediate vicinity of the Qatari diplomatic mission. This strongly suggests that the damage to the embassy building was caused by a malfunction of the Ukrainian air defence system.
Russia regards the State of Qatar as a friendly state and a priority partner.

The POW, Aleksandr Shakura, was captured by units of the Tsentr Group of Forces in Krasnoarmeysk direction.
'Our chiefs sent me here, to the front line, with all the truths and lies. We were guarding the position. We stayed there for four months and 20 days. I asked them when someone would change us. The answer was: 'No one will ever change you', the POW recalls.

🎙 Comment by Russia's Foreign Ministry Official Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Kiev regime’s terrorist attack on civilians in Russian regions (January 11, 2026)
Read in full
The Kiev regime has once again demonstrated its inhumane Nazi nature with another brutal crime.
On January 10, the Voronezh, Kursk, Bryansk, and Belgorod regions were subjected to a mass attack using fixed-wing drones. According to the Russia's Ministry of Defence, a total of 33 hostile drones were launched.
The principal target was the residential areas of Voronezh. One young woman has been confirmed dead, having succumbed to her injuries in intensive care overnight. At least three further civilians were wounded.
The Foreign Ministry strongly condemns these acts of terrorism. They are characterised by the extremely cynical targeting of a wide range of civilian infrastructure. This includes over ten blocks of flats and an equal number of private homes. A secondary school and several administrative buildings were also struck and damaged.
Such deliberate killings of civilians attest to the desperation of the Kiev regime, which – in the face of its obvious failures on the battlefield – now seeks to vent its frustration on innocent populations of Russia’s regions. All masterminds and perpetrators of this and other crimes will be inevitably held to account.
It is our hope that the relevant international bodies will provide an impartial assessment of these criminal acts committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis. Continued silence in the face of the Kiev regime’s unbridled barbarity renders those bodies complicit in its heinous consequences.

📰 On January 13, members of the press and the media mark their professional holiday, #RussianPressDay.
On that day in 1703, the first issue of the newspaper founded by Peter the Great, Vedomosti (Bulletin) on Military and Other Affairs Worthy of Being Known and Remembered, Occurring in the Moscow State and Neighbouring Countries, saw the light of day, launching the development of a highly professional Russian media community.
Vedomosti was an official publication to which Peter the Great personally contributed by selecting materials for publications, checking the quality of translations, and editing texts.
The newspaper published military reports and everyday news based on official documents, diplomatic reports and departmental information.
In 1719, Boris Volkov, a translator at the Collegium of Foreign Affairs who was appointed editor-in-chief of the newspaper, enlisted the assistance of Yakov Sinyavich, one of the best linguists of that period and the first Russian reporter.
In 1728, the newspaper fell under the purview of the Academy of Sciences. Mikhail Lomonosov became one of its contributors. The newspaper was published twice a week in 706 copies.
A new stage in the development of periodical press began on January 1, 1870, when the emperor signed an executive order approving “an experiment for accepting subscription to periodicals, both Russian and foreign ones, at post offices.” It was the first executive order on subscription to periodicals issued in the country. By 1914, over 3,000 periodicals were published in Russia.
The professional holiday of members of the press and journalists, Soviet Press Day, was established in 1922 and marked on May 5, the day when the first issue of Pravda, the main Soviet newspaper, was published in 1912.
On December 28, 1991, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) issued Resolution No. 3043-1 On Russian Press Day, moving Russian Press Day to its historical date, January 13.
***
Today, over 156,600 media outlets have been registered in Russia. Russian periodicals are published in over 100 languages.
The journalistic profession has always held a special place and was rightfully respected in Russia. Today, members of the Russian media can professionally, quickly and objectively provide information and carry out a thorough and unbiased analysis of events.
Russian journalists come under persecution by the national authorities in the collective West, and risk their health and even lives for telling the truth. Responsibility for killing journalists and military correspondents lies with the Kiev regime, whose state of impunity has gone berserk, and its Western patrons.

Despite the obstacles of censorship created by our enemies, Russian journalists have overcome information blockades and have even increased the audience of their loyal readers, viewers and listeners, including in the countries with the most intolerant attitude to any manifestation of dissent.”

#Украина #Запад
О том, что на Западе не хотят завершения конфликта, как и не хотели никакого мира, свидетельствуют факты бесперебойной работы аэропорта в польском Жешуве, через который с 2022 года идёт стабильный военный грузопоток для нужд ВСУ.
Наиболее активную роль в поставках продукции военного назначения через этот «хаб» играют, как отмечают наблюдатели, британские и канадские ВВС, а также частные транспортные авиакомпании, связанные с военным ведомством США.
Действия евронатовцев по военно-финансовой накачке Киева говорят об их истинных намерениях красноречивее любых лицемерных слов о стремлении к миру. Они говорят лучше, чем любые декларации и заявления.
#Британия #КоалицияЖеЛающих
Не первый месяц отмечаем последовательное наращивание Британией агрессивных и воинственных выпадов в адрес России.
6 января в Париже «на полях» сходки «коалиции желающих» Премьер-министр Великобритании К.Стармер совместно с Президентом Франции Э.Макроном и главой киевского режима Зеленским подписали декларацию о намерениях, предусматривающую размещение на Украине неких многонациональных сил, а по сути – западных оккупационных войск, якобы «под обеспечение будущих мирных договорённостей».
❗️ Хотели бы предупредить, что при попытках реализации преступного замысла с «коалицией желающих» ответственность за жизни подданных Соединённого Королевства будет лежать целиком на Лондоне.
Наша позиция неизменна и хорошо известна – любые иностранные контингенты на Украине будут рассматриваться как законные цели для Вооружённых Сил Российской Федерации. Британская составляющая не станет исключением.
#Молдавия
Продолжается цензурирование и зачистка общественного пространства Молдавии от альтернативных точек зрения.
12 января один из крупнейших операторов кабельного телевидения республики объявил о прекращении вещания 14 российских телеканалов и исключении русскоязычных звуковых дорожек ещё на 10 телеканалах. Взамен объявлено о подключении 31 телеканала, представленных преимущественно румынским телевещателем.
В самой республике представители общественности складывающуюся ситуацию со СМИ назвали «информационным гетто».
Официальный Кишинёв делает всё, чтобы провоцировать в Молдавии социальную напряжённость, результатом которой является массовая эмиграция молдаван за рубеж.
Согласно данным в СМИ, уже каждый четвёртый молдаванин проживает за границей. Таковы последствия тотального безразличия и равнодушия властей страны к собственному народу.

🎙 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's statement regarding another series of terrorist attacks on tankers in the Black Sea (January 14, 2025)
💬 On January 13, oil tankers chartered to transport Kazakh oil to foreign consumers were attacked by Ukrainian drones in the Black Sea near the maritime terminal of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC).
We resolutely condemn yet another terrorist attack by the Kiev regime against commercial civilian vessels that were fully complying with all norms of international law.
We regard this barbaric assault as further proof that the Kiev authorities not only disregard global energy stability, but also show blatant contempt for the interests of Kazakhstan – a country with which they allegedly seek to develop relations – as well as for those of their American partners, who are the largest shareholders of the CPC.
In this regard, we fully understand and share the serious concern expressed over these attacks in the statement by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan on January 14.
❗️ We fully align ourselves with the view of our allies on the need to take effective measures to ensure the security of hydrocarbon transportation, which, in our view, should bring the criminal Kiev regime to reason.
We also support Astana’s stance on the need for joint steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
