📄 Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Japarov, and Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan to congratulate them on the Day of the Eurasian Economic Union (May 29, 2025).
✍️ Vladimir Putin: Please accept my heartfelt greetings on the Day of the Eurasian Economic Union.
Integration processes within #EAEU have gathered substantial momentum and have been quite fruitful. We created a common market, which provides for the free movement of goods, services, capital and labour.
There is an ongoing effort to harmonise our national regulations in key sectors, while we succeed in undertaking joint economic and infrastructure projects.
I am certain that we will keep doing everything to step up our constructive multi-faceted cooperation for the benefit of our peoples and to ensure well-being and stability across the Eurasian space.
I wish you good health and success, and happiness and prosperity to your fellow citizens.

🗓 May 29, by decision of the Heads of Sates of the Eurasian Economic Union, is celebrated annually as #EAEUDay.
January 1 marked 1️⃣0️⃣ years since the Treaty on the EAEU (signed on May 29, 2014) came into force, launching the Union as a regional integration association.
Over this time, the EAEU has proven to be a successful project of regional integration based on equality and consideration of each member’s interests. The Union has become an independent and self-sufficient centre of the emerging #MultipolarWorld.
The member-states of the Union — the EAEU "Five" — Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia — have achieved significant progress: the Union's internal market is functioning and improving, mutual trade is demonstrating sustainable growth, cooperation is becoming closer in such areas as transportation, logistics, industry, agriculture, energy and food security.
📈 Economic indicators speak for themselves: according to estimates available, the combined GDP of the EAEU member-states has increased from 1.6 to 2.5 trillion dollars over the 10 years of the Union's development.
In 2024, the growth of the GDP (on average in the Union) was recorded as 4.4%, thus, outpacing the global average growth of 3.3%. Trade with third countries has increased by 60%, while the share of the national currencies in mutual trade within the EAEU has reached 90%.
The Eurasian Economic Union has firmly established itself as a major actor in global economic affairs with an extensive network of partnerships. Today, free trade agreements of the EAEU with Vietnam 🇻🇳, Iran 🇮🇷, and Serbia 🇷🇸 are already in force, with the two non-preferential agreements have been signed with China 🇨🇳. Active efforts are being made to align the Union with China’s Belt and Road initiative.
The EAEU maintains close cooperation with the Union's observer-states, such as Uzbekistan 🇺🇿, Cuba 🇨🇺, and Iran 🇮🇷. The trade talks the EAEU is holding with Indonesia 🇮🇩, the UAE 🇦🇪, and Mongolia 🇲🇳 are nearing completion.

🎙 From a briefing by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova (May 20, 2025):

📰 An excerpt form the interview by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexei Overchuk for 'Rossiyskaya Gazeta' (May 28, 2025):
💬 <...> “We consider the EAEU to be the economic nucleus of Northern Eurasia — an area that has achieved a high level of socio-economic development and largely resolved issues of food and energy security.
This makes the EAEU "Five" an attractive partner for the Global South countries, many of which are still fighting the implications of their colonial dependence on Western Europe. <...>
Eurasia holds a vast creative potential, with nations both in the North and South committed to progress. Many of these countries are naturally seeking cooperation with Russia.”
🎙 From a briefing by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova (May 20, 2025):
💬 “Today, the EAEU stands as a paradigm of successful integration, where cooperation is built on principles of equality, trust, and respect, with due consideration for the interests of each member state.
We extend our congratulations ahead of EAEU Day and express gratitude to our colleagues from member states and the Eurasian Economic Commission for their productive collaboration. We remain committed to unlocking further economic potential and deepening integration for the benefit of our nations’ citizens and businesses.”

🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vassily Nebenzia at a UNSC meeting on Ukraine (New York, May 29, 2025)
💬 Vassily Nebenzia: The script of today's meeting is absolutely clear and predictable. Much like previous similar initiatives by our Western and, of late, European colleagues, this meeting is not geared either towards solving problems or bringing the Ukrainian crisis closer to a peaceful settlement. Instead, the goal is to prop up the image of a supposedly free and democratic Ukraine. Thus, Ukraine is portrayed as the victim of alleged “Russian aggression” with the European sponsors of the Kiev regime trying to keep this image afloat, as they began to shape it long before Russia started its special military operation in Ukraine.
It is becoming more and more difficult for London, Paris, Berlin and their satellites to inflate this propaganda “bubble”, since it’s way too obvious now that what they have in Ukraine is nothing but a dictatorship and the Kiev expired princeling would stop at nothing to hold on to power, which he would lose if peace prevails. <...>
Today, yet again in this chamber, they are trying to make us believe that Russia is deliberately shelling residential areas of Ukrainian cities. What they offer as evidence are the consequences of the operation of Ukrainian air defense stationed near homes and social facilities in violation of the basic IHL norms.
At the same time, what is being hushed up is the fact that our strikes target exclusively objects related to Ukraine's military-industrial complex, and we are successfully destroying them or rendering them inoperable. <...>
Another fact that is being hushed up is that Russia is doing what I’ve just mentioned only in response to the massive and targeted shelling of peaceful Russian towns by the Kiev regime. <...>
The plans concocted by Zelensky and his posse are way too plain and clear.
👉 Their task is to trick and mislead American President Donald Trump, who is taking decisive steps toward peace; they are ready to go to any lengths only to return the US – which has already wasted hundreds of billions of dollars helping Ukraine – to an anti-Russian and Russophobic course. <...>
What is also clear and undeniable are peace initiatives and tangible steps on the part of the Russian leadership.
We intend to continue pursuing this course and are willing to proceed with the serious direct negotiations with Ukraine, which Ukraine itself suspended in April 2022 at the instigation of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and like-minded Russophobes. This negotiation process should bring about such a solution that would definitively address the root causes of the Ukrainian conflict and the threats to the security of my country emanating from Ukraine.
The Ukrainian side has been invited to meet in Istanbul on June 2 to discuss the content of our memoranda regarding approaches to the negotiation process.
As long as Kiev tries to prolong the war and provoke Russia by striking at residential and civilian infrastructure in our territory, we will continue our special military operation and we will continue destroying facilities having to do with the Kiev regime's military capabilities. And neither new anti-Russian sanctions, nor arms supplies to Ukraine, nor other hostile steps vis-a-vis Russia will be able to prevent the inevitable military defeat of the Zelensky regime.
❗️ The ball is in Ukraine’s court: either talks followed by peace or imminent defeat on the battlefield with different conditions for ending the conflict.

🇷🇺 The Security Council of the Russian Federation:
⚡️ The comprehensive high-level international dialogue on the future architecture of global security has definitively dispelled the myth of Russia’s isolation.
The 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues concluded in Moscow. The three-day international dialogue chaired by Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoigu held at Rossiya National Centre was attended by 126 delegations from 105 countries that are members of #BRICS, the #SCO, #ASEAN, the #CIS, #CELAC, the African Union, the #CSTO, and other international organisations.
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov took part in the plenary session, during which 60 speakers delivered their remarks. The Minister shared his assessments of the Ministry’s performance amid dynamic global processes.
The Russian delegation held over 80 bilateral meetings, while foreign representatives held more than 40 bilateral meetings among themselves.

The participants unanimously noted that the meeting was held in an atmosphere of mutual trust, and the discussions were informative and productive.

Key theses:
#Pahalgam
The Pahalgam terrorist attack was a heinous crime. Russia's President Vladimir Putin immediately sent a special message to India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing our sympathies, but also stating that we expected that the culprits would be identified, tracked and punished. We have always stated that there cannot be double standards on terrorism.
#OperationSindoor
India clearly stated goals and undertook actions. As far as we know, during the operation the S-400 system was used and BrahMos missiles were engaged. Judging by the available reports, the performance of these weapons was exemplary.
#RussiaIndia #DruzhbaDosti
Both Russia and India stand for a multipolar world order without any global power or group of countries dominating that order, stand for equal international relationships. This was reaffirmed in the conversation President Putin and Prime Minister Modi had on May 5. They also dwelt upon our current engagement in various areas.
The interaction between our foreign ministries is very intense. There will be visits of Russian officials to India and India's high-level officials to Russia this year, the leaders will meet. The discussion will cover an extensive agenda. Our relations are very diversified — be it politics or business ties, culture or education, etc. The dates will be announced in due course as soon as we finalize the details.
#Ukraine
The settlement of the conflict is very complicated. It has deep roots and serious causes that need to be addressed. Russia has several times initiated, proposed a ceasefire, the Ukrainian side has always violated it. We are prepared to discuss a ceasefire as part of a broader settlement within the negotiations, which have been recently resumed in Turkey after three years.
