⚡️ Meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council
Key talking points from the speech of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin:
💬 Cooperation continues to strengthen within the #EAEU, which is consistently asserting itself as one of the independent and self-sufficient centres of the emerging multipolar world.
🔹 Our continuing efforts to build integration dictate the need to strengthen, develop and modernise the supranational tools and institutions we have created, primarily the Economic Commission, which must be able to provide quick and proper responses to changes around the world and to make professional decisions aimed at protecting our common interests and promoting mutually beneficial integration.
☝️ The EAEU should expand relations with countries that are seeking equal and mutually beneficial partnership. I am talking about our partners in Asia, the Arab world, Africa, and Latin America. I mean cooperation with multilateral associations like the CIS, the SCO, BRICS and other associations.
🔹 It is important to continue to form free trade areas with interested countries and, among other things, to encourage them to jointly use the international transaction infrastructure available to the five member-countries in national currencies and the digital currencies of the central banks.
❗️ I am confident that by continuing to act as a team, we will certainly achieve new tangible results in promoting integration cooperation in the interests of our states and peoples.

📰 For several months, the leading Western media have been carrying crazy headlines and putting forward numerous versions – one more fantastic than the next – in a bid to steer away attention from Seymour Hersh's investigation & those truly responsible for the terrorist acts on the Nord Stream & Nord Stream-2 gas pipelines.
This open secret is boggling journalists for a reason – using their language, it is “highly likely” that the goal is to divert public discussion & completely confuse public opinion.
Read in full
❓ More & more people are starting to ask inconvenient questions. To the dismay of the mainstream media. That is why the Irish Times & Britain’s The Times tried to help the German, Scandinavian & American media save face & further confuse the matter. In the last resort attempt, they trotted out a canard by blaming this terror act on Russia. And the evidence? Surely enough - “suspicious” manoeuvres by Russian ships. Everything follows the “highly likely” pattern these days.
Biased journalists immediately accused the Russian Navy of conducting intelligence operations.
This, in fact, represents the “arguments” that were used to come up with the adamant conclusion that it was Russia who “highly/most/somewhat likely” blew up... its own Nord Stream pipelines 🤷♂️

❗️ The acts of sabotage on the Nord Stream & Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines have become a kind of a litmus test that sets the propagandists following the guidelines from real journalists. Those who come up with ways to blame Russia for everything & continue to stubbornly ignore the findings of the investigation conducted by Seymour Hersh & avoid uncomfortable questions to the governments & agencies from the US, Denmark, Germany & Sweden about the terrorist attack are, by a strange coincidence, the same “professionals” who holler about freedom of speech & pretend that Julian Assange does not exist. These people have nothing to do with real journalism.

Американский сенатор от Южной Каролины Линдси Грэм с довольной ухмылкой на встрече с Зеленским: «Русские умирают. Мы ещё никогда не тратили деньги так удачно».
В ходе Нюрнбергского трибунала министр экономики фашисткой Германии Ялмар Шахт заявил о том, что спонсирование Третьего рейха шло также из-за рубежа и назвал две крупнейшие американские корпорации: «Форд» и «Дженерал моторс». С ним была заключена негласная сделка – свобода в обмен на молчание. Несмотря на протесты советских представителей, он вышел на свободу и прожил до 93 лет.
Напомню, что воплощение американской мечты, тот самый легендарный Генри Форд был кавалером Большого Креста Ордена Заслуг германского орла. Его заводы в Германии не просто производили до 70 тыс. грузовиков в год для нужд вермахта, но и использовали для этого труд заключённых, в том числе Освенцима.
А немецкая икона автоиндустрии «Опель» принадлежал... «Дженерал моторс». Исследователь Брэдфорд Снелл следующим образом описывает роль корпорации: ««Дженерал моторс» был гораздо важнее для нацистской военной машины, чем швейцарские банки. Швейцария была лишь хранилищем украденных денег. «Дженерал моторс» был неотъемлемой частью германский военных усилий. Третий рейх мог бы вторгнуться в Польшу и Россию (СССР) без помощи Швейцарии. Но они не смогли бы этого сделать без помощи «Дженерал моторс».
Компания «Кодак» на своём заводе в Германии изготавливала взрыватели для авиабомб, не гнушаясь применять даже труд военнопленных.
Завод «Кока-Кола» в Кёльне и до его национализации германским правительством исправно снабжал газировкой, в том числе немецких солдат. А знаменитая «Фанта» и вовсе была изобретена нацистами.
Нефтяной гигант «Стандарт Ойл» через свои дочерние компании помогал Гитлеру с нехваткой нефтепродуктов, участвовал в разработке синтетического каучука и синтетического топлива. А любимая айтишниками всего мира корпорация IBM производила для нацистов учётные и контрольные аппараты, в том числе для нефтедобычи. Среди прочего, оборудование этой фирмы помогало следить за расписанием поездов в лагеря смерти...
Ну и куда уж без банков: руку приложил и JPMorgan Chase & Co, а тогда «Национальный банк Чейз» (Chase National Bank), через который осуществлялись многомиллиардные транзакции, а Берлин имел возможность закупать доллары и осуществлять финансовые операции за океаном. «Чейз» сотрудничал с немецким банком «Альянс» даже в таком деле, как... страхование имущества и жизни охраны концлагерей Третьего Рейха.
Сенатору Грэму есть, с чем сравнивать. Одна из их инвестиций привела ко Второй Мировой войне и Холокосту.
Теперь миллиарды американских долларов вливаются в ненасытную глотку неонацистского киевского режима. В этой связи хотелось бы напомнить сенаторам и всем американским выгодополучателям, чем закончилась предыдущая авантюра.

Вы думаете, что американский сенатор Грэм одинок в своей нацистской риторике? Что он уродское исключение? Что американская система такое чудище не может породить?
Ошибаетесь. Напомню, в разговоре с пранкерами Вованом и Лексусом Джордж Буш (младший из династии американских президентов) ровно так и сказал, полагая, что общается с киевским режимом: «Ваша задача - убить как можно больше русских».
После того, как мы об этом заявили на брифинге, американская пропаганда начала отыгрывать назад, делая упор на том, что Буш не во власти. Ещё как во власти и Буш, и Грэм. Так они ещё и не всё говорят, что прописано в американских доктринальных документах.

⚡️ Statement by the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on Eurasian Economic Union Day
💬 A few days before Eurasian Economic Union Day on May 29, established by decision of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council, the Federation Council declares that Eurasian integration has proven its effectiveness and viability.
The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) has successfully passed the stage of formation and achieved significant results in integration work. Mutual trade is growing fast among the EAEU member states, as is economic cooperation with third countries.
The senators of the Russian Federation note that the EAEU members’ interest in deepening cooperation is prompted not only by the commonality of their values, traditions and cultures, but also by their sincere conviction that the further development of Eurasian integration fully meets their national interests.
Manifestations of crisis continue to grow in international relations today. The collective West is persistently trying to impose on the international community a neo-colonial world model – a rules-based international order. The goal of the United States and its satellites is to make sovereign states accept Washington’s unilateral political, financial and economic diktat.
Under these conditions, the EAEU is becoming a telling example of cooperation based on respect for the sovereign equality of all states and strict observance of the universally recognised principles and norms of international law enshrined in the United Nations Charter.
During the Russian chairmanship of the EAEU bodies, the Federation Council intends to specifically focus on facilitating the implementation of the ambitious goals of the EAEU. Among them are ensuring the technological independence of key economic sectors, food security, digital transformation, common energy and financial markets, transport infrastructure development, building up scientific and youth exchanges, and encouraging investment.
The senators of the Russian Federation wish all the best to the citizens of the EAEU member states on Eurasian Economic Union Day and call on the parliamentarians in the EAEU member states to consolidate efforts to provide legislative support for Eurasian integration.
The Federation Council proposes that the parliaments of non-EAEU states promote the expansion of trade and economic ties with the Eurasian Economic Union and expresses confidence that this will pave the way for the development of constructive interstate relations.

A refresh in light of US Senator Lindsey Graham's recent #HateSpeech remarks 👇
(excerpt from Russia's MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's briefing of October 6, 2022)
💬 Reports of new tranches of military aid to Kiev are coming from the United States almost every week.
We remember the statement by the American political establishment [including George W. Bush] about Ukraine’s main objective being to kill as many Russians as possible.
We remember and know that this ideology of killing is being promoted by Ukrainian ambassadors around the world. We will never forget this.
This part of US political leadership hates us beyond any measure. Due to enormous domestic problems, recession, inflation and unemployment, it is impossible to paint even a false picture of prosperity of its own population even by mobilising the US media.
Despite this, more and more money is being poured onto the Kiev regime with every passing week in order not to stop the hostilities and increase the human losses.

💬 Do you believe that US Senator Graham is alone in his Nazi rhetoric? That he is a freakish exception? That the US system cannot give a birth to such monster?
How wrong you are... Let me remind you that George W. Bush (the youngest of the dynasty of US Presidents) said the same thing during his conversation with prankers Vovan and Lexus, believing he was speaking with the Kiev regime:
“Your mission is to destroy as many Russian troops as you can”.
After we mentioned this at a briefing, the US propaganda started retreating, emphasising that Bush is not in power. You bet both Bush and Graham are. And they are still not telling us everything that is written in the US doctrinal documents.

🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's answer to a media question about the situation around the Russian Consulate General in Gothenburg and the Swedish Consulate General in St Petersburg
❓ Question: Commenting on Russia's decision to close down the Russian Consulate General in Gothenburg while revoking Moscow's consent for the activity of the Swedish Consulate General in St Petersburg, Swedish FM Tobias Billström expressed his regret & described the Swedish consular mission as “a driving force in the bilateral people-to-people cooperation between Russia and Sweden.” Can you comment on this?
💬 On May 25, Swedish Ambassador to Russia Malena Mard was served with a note from the Russian Foreign Ministry stating that given Sweden’s confrontational course towards the Russia, the Russian side had decided to terminate the activity of the Russian Consulate General in Gothenburg with effect from September 1 of this year. At the same time, the Swedish side was informed Russia was revoking its consent for the activity of the Swedish Consulate General in St Petersburg from the same date.
❗️ The responsibility for this decision lies entirely on the Swedish party. It was Sweden’s initiative to terminate contacts with Russia, & disrupt all cooperation, even at the level of regions & city governments, including in science, education, culture, sports & economic cooperation.
<...>
The work of our diplomatic missions in Sweden continues to be complicated. Provocations threatening the safety of Russian employees & demonstrations held with the tacit consent of the Swedish law enforcement have become the norm. Offences are regularly committed against the Consulate General, its staff & visitors, but none of them have been solved by the Swedish police.
☝️ Given Sweden's policy towards Russia, the Swedish consular mission in St Petersburg can hardly be described as a “driving force” of the ruined Russian-Swedish relations. Our decision was a direct consequence of the Swedish leaders’ hostile policy.

⚡️The Foreign Ministry strongly condemns the Ukraine forces’ attempted terrorist attacks that took place in the early morning of May 30 in Moscow and the Moscow Region.
According to the Defence Ministry, the attacks were carried out with the use of eight fixed-wing UAVs. All of them were downed by the Russian air defence and electronic warfare systems. Five drones were shot down by Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile systems, and three other drones were suppressed by electronic warfare means, after which they lost control and went astray. Unfortunately, the drones that lost control fell on high-rise residential blocks of flats near the Moskovsky State Farm, Leninsky Prospekt and Profsoyuznaya Street. According to the responders, no serious injuries have been reported.
The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case in this regard. We are confident that every person involved in it will be found and suffer severe punishment.
❌ These attacks were plotted and carried out by the neo-Nazi Kiev regime, for which acts of terror have become an evil routine practice. Its representatives have long and openly called for “retaliation strikes” against Moscow. While making no sense from a military point of view, these attacks appear to be directed exclusively against civilians in order to sow panic among them.
Western support for the Kiev regime is emboldening the Ukrainian leadership towards committing increasingly reckless criminal acts, including acts of terrorism, violations of international humanitarian law and war crimes.
Assurances by NATO officials to the effect that the Kiev regime will not strike deep into Russian territory have turned out to be completely disingenuous.
❗️ The Russian side reserves the right to take tough measures in response to the terrorist attacks by the Kiev regime.

🎙 Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko’s answer to a media question on the situation with the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant
❓ Question: On May 30, 2023, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi briefed the UN Security Council on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). Ukraine refused to support his proposals designed to avert Kiev’s attacks against the ZNPP. What would be your comment regarding this situation? What is Russia’s position on the five principles Rafael Grossi put forward to help ensure nuclear safety and security at ZNPP?
💬 Alexander Grushko: As for Ukraine’s response, we must note that it did not come as a surprise for us. Kiev has blocked all IAEA Director General’s initiatives to reinforce ZNPP’s safety.
<...>
Kiev has so far excelled at creating safety risks for the ZNPP, and its zeal could be put to better use. There is an explanation why this is happening. In fact, just like with many other matters, Ukraine does not have the legal standing to deal with this issue.
The country’s leadership strictly follows the instructions it receives from Washington and London, which do not have any problems sacrificing people’s lives and nuclear safety on the European continent for the sake of their political interests. Unfortunately, governments in many other Western countries have been playing along.
<...>
☝️ In these conditions, we will take all necessary action to improve ZNPP’s safety as per Russia’s national laws and the commitments we have under the corresponding international legal instruments to which our country is a party.

Kiev has so far excelled at creating safety risks for the ZNPP, and its zeal could be put to better use. There is an explanation why this is happening. In fact, just like with many other matters, Ukraine does not have the legal standing to deal with this issue.
The country’s leadership strictly follows the instructions it receives from Washington and London, which do not have any problems sacrificing people’s lives and nuclear safety on the European continent for the sake of their political interests. Unfortunately, governments in many other Western countries have been playing along.
<...>
☝️ In these conditions, we will take all necessary action to improve ZNPP’s safety as per Russia’s national laws and the commitments we have under the corresponding international legal instruments to which our country is a party.

⚡️ On new facts of global surveillance by the United States
The Russian authorities have uncovered new facts of the US special services using American IT companies for global surveillance of US and other countries’ citizens. In this instance, they used the software vulnerabilities of US-made smartphones.
This fact has conclusively proven what Moscow has been speaking about for a long time, namely, that the US intelligence services have been using IT giants for decades to collect internet users’ personal data without their knowledge. More evidence of this illegal activity comes to light every year.
Time and again, we addressed the concerned international platforms on the need to restore order and formulate the universal rules of conduct in the digital environment based on respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and the sovereign equality of states. In January 2021, the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation adopted a Statement on the violation of the freedom of speech principle by US global IT companies and on drafting an international convention to regulate their operations. Practice has shown that Washington is not ready to consider our proposals.
❗️ The United States has placed itself above the law. We have provided the UN with ample evidence of the double standards that country and its special services and companies have been using in the sphere of international information security (IIS).
We once again call on all the concerned parties to formulate clear and fair regulations in the digital sphere that would be binding for all states and especially ICT designers. This is the goal of the initiatives Russia has advanced within the framework of the UN Open-Ended Working Group on IIS. <...>
☝️ No state has a right to abuse its technological capabilities in a sensitive sphere such as access to the personal data of smartphone users.

🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on the Ukraine crisis

Key points:
• Today, June 1 is International Children’s Day. This day is used to draw world public attention to the problems faced by children in different parts of the world.
• We are doing all we can to keep children safe in the new regions of Russia, and help them keep a healthy outlook with school vacations. Many Russian health resorts are receiving them with hospitality now. About 6,000 children from the new regions will take a break in the Stavropol and Krasnodar territories, Tatarstan and the Samara, Voronezh and Tambov regions, to name a few. These vouchers are free of charge.
• At the same time, the Kiev regime’s attitude towards children is diametrically opposite. In Ukraine, children often “rest” in paramilitary camps established by neo-Nazi units.
• Whom do these graduates of summer camps turn into? We are seeing this today with the example of neo-Nazis from the Armed Forces of Ukraine that continue shelling residential neighbourhoods in Donetsk and other Russian cities within reach of their artillery.
• Responsibility for these tragedies rests with the Kiev regime and its Western bosses that close their eyes to the monstrous crimes committed with increasingly deadly weapons supplied by NATO countries to Ukraine.
• The Kiev junta has long been using terrorist methods in its battle against Russia. On May 30, Ukraine’s secret services engineered another brazen incursion as they attempted to attack Moscow and the Moscow Region with drones.
❗️ The West openly supports Kiev’s policy of physical annihilation of ethnic Russians. It nods in silence when Ukrainian functionaries promise to exterminate the people of Crimea. Most recently, the Westerners themselves have begun to talk openly about the destruction of the civilian population in Russia.
• We are thus left with a regretful statement to the effect that Westerners, including, ironically, the Germans, didn’t learn their history lesson. The neo-Nazi sentiment and the desire to escalate the Ukraine conflict are stronger than ever in Europe.
• The United States and its NATO allies continue to flood the Kiev regime with modern weapons. Not long ago, they supplied Ukraine with long-range missiles and tanks. Now, time has come to supply it with aircraft. On May 26, during the online 12th meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group (Ramstein group), they announced the creation of a “coalition of jets.”
• In fact, the high-flown rhetoric we are hearing from the Americans is hiding a trivial ploy to pull in as much money from it as possible. It’s no secret that touting any kind of “tank-based” or “jet-based” coalition, the United States is primarily concerned with expanding its own presence on the European arms market.
☝️ No matter how hard the collective West tries to arm the Ukrainian forces and encourage the Ukrainian authorities to continue the confrontation with Russia, these attempts are doomed.
