⚔️ On October 22, 1944, the Red Army commenced the liberation of the Norway's northern regions (Eastern Finnmark) from the Nazi invaders.
While fleeing, the Germans burned and destroyed houses, bridges, and forcibly moved the civilian population to the west. Those who refused "evacuation" went into hiding. Not far from Kirkenes, Soviet soldiers saved 3,500 innocent civilians who had sought refuge in a mine, that the Nazis had planned to detonate upon discovery.
On the liberated territories, the Red Army provided assistance to the civilian population, which ended up in an incredibly difficult situation due to the devastation caused by the German invaders. Soviet soldiers did not occupy surviving buildings, instead offering them to Norwegians who lost their homes. They allocated provisions from the Red Army's warehouses, opened hospitals, and provided locals with medical care.
The military operation resulted in Germany losing a crucial source of strategic resources. The Kriegsmarine on northern communications were also severely limited.
☝️ The defeat of the Nazis in the Arctic region marked the beginning of the liberation of the rest of Norway from German invaders, encouraged the Norwegian resistance to fight the enemy, doing so with the support of the Soviet operational command.
The occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany ended on May 8, 1945.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s greetings to organisers and guests of an official United Nations Day reception (Moscow, October 24, 2023)
💬 Today, when the world is experiencing genuine tectonic shifts linked with the creation of a multipolar system, it is hard to overestimate the significance of the UN in promoting equitable interstate cooperation and searching for concerted answers to numerous challenges and threats.
Owing to its universal legitimacy, the UN boasts unique capabilities for facilitating multilateral interaction in multiple spheres, including efforts to maintain international peace and security, protecting human rights and ensuring sustainable socio-economic development.
Consequently, genuine multilateralism is inseparably linked with the UN and the principles of the UN Charter. No organisations established on a limited scale outside the UN framework can claim the right to express the opinion of the entire international community.
As a UN co-founding state and as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, Russia comprehends its special responsibility for the future destiny of this highly important international body. We will closely coordinate our actions with our supporters, and we will continue to enhance the effectiveness of the UN, including within the framework of the Group of Friends in Defence of the Charter of the United Nations.
🇷🇺🇺🇳 We are certainly ready to continue constructive dialogue with UN representatives in Russia.

Комментарий Посла России в Норвегии Т.О.Рамишвили для норвежских СМИ в связи с церемонией возложения венков к памятнику советским воинам в г.Киркенес
Почтить память бойцов Красной армии, которые отдали свою жизнь при освобождении северной Норвегии, это не только право, но и обязанность Генерального консула России в Киркенесе.
Хотел бы подчеркнуть, что в рядах Красной армии воевали не только русские, но и белорусы, казахи, украинцы, а также представители других многочисленных народов СССР. И никто не может отнять у официального представителя России, являющейся международно-признанным правопреемником СССР, право провести такого рода церемонию.
В свою очередь мы не только не возражаем, но и приветствуем участие представителей других народов СССР, в т.ч. Украины, в таких церемониях не только в Киркенесе, но и в других регионах Норвегии.
Помимо прочего, памятники советским воинам являются публичными пространствами и вопрос каких-либо юридических ограничений на мероприятия возле них находится в компетенции норвежских правоохранительных и судебных властей, а не русофобски настроенных политиков.

Kommentar fra Russlands Ambassadør i Norge Teymuraz Ramishvili til norske medier i forbindelse med kranseleggingsseremoni ved minnesmerket over sovjetiske soldater i Kirkenes
Det å hedre minne over soldater av Den røde arme som har gitt deres liv under frigjøringen av Nord-Norge er ikke bare rett, men plikt av Russlands generalkonsul i Kirkenes.
Jeg ville understreke at det var ikke bare russere som kjempet i styrkene av Den røde arme, men også hviterussere, kasakher, ukrainere, samt mange andre folk i Sovjetunionen. Og det er ingen som kan frata den offisielle representanten fra Russland som er Sovjetunionens internasjonalt anerkjente arvtager, retten til å gjennomføre en slik seremoni.
Fra våre hold er vi på ingen måte imot, men ønsker velkommen deltakelsen av representanter for andre folk i Sovjetunionen, inkludert Ukraina, i slike seremonier, ikke bare i Krikenes, men også andre steder i Norge.
Dessuten gjelder minnesmerker over sovjetiske soldater som offentlige rom og det er norske rettshåndhevende myndigheter som er ansvarlige for spørsmål angående eventuelle juridiske begrensninger på arrangementer i nærheten, men ikke russerfiendtlig innstilte politikere.

🗓 27 октября в МИД России был вызван посол Королевства Норвегия в Российской Федерации Р.Квиле в связи с возмутительными действиями норвежских властей, попытавшихся сорвать 25 октября традиционные мероприятия в северонорвежском г. Киркенесе по чествованию памяти советских воинов, погибших при освобождении Северной Норвегии от немецко-фашистских захватчиков.
Послу жёстко указано на неприемлемость ограничения прав российских представителей на проведение памятных церемоний. Действия мэра коммуны Сёр-Варангер, лично участвовавшего в перемещении венков Генерального консульства, которые затем и вовсе были убраны, являются актом вандализма, примером русофобии, неуважения и попрания памяти воинов-освободителей.
❗️ Похоже, утрачена не только историческая память, но и совесть.
Акцентировано, что происходящее в Норвегии вокруг этой памятной даты, наряду со сделанными ранее заявлениями руководства губернии Финнмарк о намерении в будущем году пригласить на празднование 80-летия освобождения Северной Норвегии президента Украины и «выпячиванием» заслуг отдельных народов СССР в освобождении Северной Норвегии, расцениваем как сознательные усилия по фальсификации истории и нивелированию роли Советского Союза в победе над фашизмом.
Дипмиссии России в Норвегии (Посольство России в Норвегии, Генконсульство России в Киркенесе), российские соотечественники продолжат отдавать дань памяти воинам и норвежскому сопротивлению, победившим фашизм, спасшим жизнь многих мирных жителей Северной Норвегии. Нельзя делить, исходя из соображений сиюминутной политической конъюнктуры в неблаговидных целях, Победу на свою и чужую.

Norges Ambassadør tilkalt til Russlands Utenriksministerium
Melding til medier
27. oktober Kongeriket Norges Ambassadør i Den Russiske Føderasjon Robert Kvile ble tilkalt til Russlands Utenriksministerium i forbindelse med forkastelige handlinger av norske myndigheter som prøvde å forstyrre tradisjonelt arrangement i nord-norske Kirkenes 25. oktober da man hedret minne over sovjetiske soldater som omkom under frigjøringen av Nord-Norge fra tysk - fascistiske okkupanter.
Man påpekte strengt for Ambassadøren at det er uakseptabelt å begrense retten til å gjennomføre minneseremonier. Handlinger av ordføreren i Sør-Varanger kommune, som selv deltok i flyttingen av kransene fra Det russiske Generalkonsulatet i Kirkenes som ble fjernet fullstendig etterpå, er et hærverk. Det er en eksempel på rusofobi, mangel på respekt og nedsetting av minnet over frigjøringssoldater. Det ser ut at ikke bare hukommelse men også samvittighet er fortapt.
Det er understreket at det som skjer rundt denne minnedagen i Norge i rekke med tidligere uttalelser fra ledelsen i Finnmark om å invitere Ukrainas president neste år til 80-årsjubileum for frigjøring av Nord-Norge med å peke ut innsatsen av enkelte folk i Sovjetunionen vurderes av oss som tilsiktede anstrengelser å forfalske historien og nedsette Sovjetunionens rolle i seieren over fascisme.
Russlands utenriksstasjoner i Norge, russiske landsmenn vil fortsette å hedre minne over soldater og den norske motstandsbevegelsen som overmannet fascisme, reddet liv til mange sivile folk i Nord-Norge. Det er ikke lov til å dele seieren til sin egen og til noen andres ved å ut fra forståelsen som ledes av den kortsiktige politiske konjunkturen med nedrige formål.

🎙 Comment by the Foreign Ministry’s Official Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Kiev regime’s terrorist attack on the Kursk NPP
💬 In the evening of October 26, the Ukrainian Armed Forces intentionally attacked the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant with three unmanned aerial vehicles.
One of the UAVs, loaded with explosives, crashed into a nuclear waste warehouse and damaged its walls. The other two fell on the plant’s administrative building complex.
❗️ According to preliminary data, the unmanned aerial vehicles used to attack the nuclear power plant had components supplied by Western countries.
⚠️ This incident clearly shows that the criminal Kiev regime will stop at nothing, including acts of nuclear terrorism. They could not but realise that the UAV attack could have resulted in a full-scale nuclear disaster that would have affected many countries. There could have been no other objectives set for attacking a nuclear power plant, a purely peaceful infrastructure facility.
By attacking the Kursk NPP, the Kiev regime put itself on a par with the most odious terrorist organisations. The fact that this crime could not have been committed without the permission and, possibly, a direct order of its Western curators is of particular concern.
☝️ We call on all governments to strongly condemn Kiev’s barbaric actions, which are extremely dangerous and can lead to irreparable consequences. Relevant international organisations, environmental NGOs and civil society must also give an appropriate assessment of this act of terrorism.

📅 On October 28, 1944, the Red Army successfully completed the East Carpathian Strategic Offensive Operation and liberated the entire territory of the Ukrainian SSR.
Soviet Ukraine was among the first regions to take the blow from the Wehrmacht on June 22, 1941. Immediately following the Nazi invasion, the partisan movement set up the headquarters which inflicted serious damage to the enemy.
During the years of the German occupation, the Nazis established a large number of concentration camps, prisons and ghettos on the territory of Ukraine. Several million people were killed by the invaders and their henchmen. Over two million Ukrainians were deported to serve as forced labourers in Germany. About 700 cities and 28,000 villages were destroyed, and more than 16,000 industrial enterprises were ruined.
🕯 The population of Ukraine suffered not only from Nazi invaders but also from the criminal activities of tens of thousands of local nationalists who chose to collaborate and serve the Reich, zealously carrying out ethnic cleansing and brutally murdering communists, Jews and civilians, including the elderly and children.
The forces that are currently in power in Ukraine hail the Nazi collaborators as “heroes” and “fighters for independence” . Some Western countries even go as far as to give them standing ovation in parliament.
The liberation of Ukraine took 680 days. It included 15 major offensive operations, involving nearly half of all personnel and equipment of the Soviet army. Over three million Soviet soldiers and officers lost their lives in the fight against the invaders.
🎖 Millions of Ukrainians fought the Nazis in the ranks of the Red Army. Their contribution to the Victory cannot be overestimated. Some 2.5 million Ukrainian soldiers received orders and medals, including 2021 people who were bestowed the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
❗️ The liberation of Ukraine from the Nazi invaders was a landmark event in the Great Patriotic War, opening the road to Berlin for the Red Army.

💬 I am delighted to welcome all of you at the first meeting of the Interdepartmental Commission for Caspian Cooperation established as per President Putin’s instructions. <...> The establishment of the commission and its broad and impressive membership are fresh proof of the Caspian region’s strategic significance to Russia and the attention it is being given by the national leadership.
🇷🇺🇦🇿🇮🇷🇰🇿🇹🇲 Over the past 30 years, we have developed a geopolitical community of five Caspian states: Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.
👉 Over that period, we have created a number of important five-member mechanisms, primarily in the environmental sphere.
👉 We have also coordinated the basic principles and rules of the parties’ operation, which have been incorporated in the Convention on the legal status of the Caspian Sea, which Russia has ratified, and the decisions of six Caspian summits.
<...>
Closer cooperation is especially important given the current geopolitical realities related to the ongoing creation of a fairer multipolar world where independent players in various regions will assert themselves and grow stronger as the new global centres of development and cooperation.
☝️ In this context, the concerted efforts of the Caspian countries will become a major factor of security, stability and sustainable development throughout Eurasia.
<...>
Russia is committed to dedicated and constructive work in the Caspian Five format aimed at strengthening the region’s image as a zone of peace, harmony, neighbourly and fruitful international cooperation. Our interdepartmental commission is called upon to outline specific steps to achieve the objectives set by President Vladimir Putin and the Government.

On October 23, 2023, The Washington Post carried a detailed story about the involvement of Ukrainian security services in the assassination of Darya Dugina, the explosions of the Crimean Bridge and other crimes.
According to the paper, since 2015, the CIA spent tens of millions of dollars on training Ukrainian security services and turning them into America’s allies in the fight against Russia.
It also mentions the UK’s MI-6 in the same context. Those Anglo-Saxon intelligence services reportedly established the No 5 and No 6 divisions at the Security Service of Ukraine. Both divisions were directly subordinated to them and were expected to focus on active measures (acts of sabotage) against Russia.
According to the publication, the CIA was behind Ukrainian security services’ operations all the time. The Ukrainian side coordinated all high-profile operations with the CIA which provided the perpetrators with all the essentials.
#MiddleEast
We are deeply concerned about the reported geographical expansion of fighting in the West Bank. The potential for conflict is growing along the Blue Line on the Lebanese-Israeli border. We are watching with concern as Israel steps up air strikes on Syrian territory. We are extremely concerned about the military manoeuvres by non-regional parties in the Eastern Mediterranean. These factors, along with the increasing bellicose rhetoric from various sides, heighten the risks of the conflict escalating into a region-wide one.
In this regard, we reiterate the need for an early ceasefire and the opening of humanitarian corridors for evacuation and delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza. We also reiterate our call for the release of the hostages.

The discussion focused on the situation in the Gaza Strip. The parties noted that any violent actions against civilians, strikes on residential buildings and civilian infrastructure are unacceptable.
The Ministers reaffirmed their shared support for an immediate, long-term ceasefire, consistent humanitarian access to Gaza, the provision of urgent assistance to all those in need, and the release of hostages.
From the Russian side, the urgent need to organise the evacuation of Russian nationals from the Palestinian enclave as soon as possible with the assistance of our Egyptian partners was emphasised.

The Ministers reaffirmed their shared support for an immediate, long-term ceasefire, consistent humanitarian access to Gaza, the provision of urgent assistance to all those in need, and the release of hostages.

📆 November 2 was declared the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists at the 68th session of the UN General Assembly in 2013.
Representatives of the Russian media working abroad, in particular in Western countries, are facing unprecedented pressure, threats and harassment for their professional activities.
🕯 We remember the names of those who have perished, including Igor Kornelyuk, Anton Voloshin, Anatoly Klyan, Darya Dugina, Oleg Klokov, Vladlen Tatarsky (Maxim Fomin) and Rostislav Zhuravlyov, who died in the line of duty.
There is no excuse for the silence of the concerned international organisations, which were initially designed to provide unbiased protection of the rights of media representatives. Today, we would like to point out again the unacceptability of applying double standards in the assessment of crimes against journalists.
Those responsible must receive the punishment they deserve.

📅 #OTD in 1944, the Battle for the Arctic ended. The Red Army prevented the Nazis’ efforts to envelop Soviet territory from the north and block military supply routes.
👉 The enemy wanted to destroy bases of the Soviet Navy’s Northern Fleet and to seize the coast of the Kola Peninsula. The Nazis believed that, by seizing Murmansk and the Kirov Railway, they would thwart Lend Lease shipments to central Soviet regions.
Although the enemy’s high command had deployed 97,000 German and Finnish service personnel, who outnumbered Red Army units totalling 57,000 officers and soldiers, the Arctic blitzkrieg failed completely. Units of the Red Army’s Northern, and later Karelian, Front retained control over naval bases and prevented the enemy from reaching the strategically important railway.
▪️ Al that time, the Nazis did not abandon attempts to seize Murmansk or to raze it to the ground. Luftwaffe aircraft conducted 792 air strikes and dropped 185,000 bombs.
Although Murmansk was destroyed almost completely, it did not surrender. During the war, the city handled 1.2 million tonnes of Lend Lease shipments. Hitler deployed elite Luftwaffe, U-boat and Kriegsmarine (surface warship) units to thwart these deliveries.
🤝 Royal Navy warships helped Soviet sailors in their efforts to ensure safe deliveries. They escorted freighters from North Atlantic ports to Murmansk and Arkhangelsk. In 1941-1944, about 1,400 warships sailed along the extremely dangerous Arctic convoy routes.
Finland withdrew from the war following the defeat of its forces in the Vyborg offensive operation. In the autumn of 1944, this created favourable conditions for a Soviet offensive. During the Petsamo-Kirkenes offensive, Red Army units defeated the enemy in the Soviet Arctic and started liberating Norway from German occupation.
🎖 On December 5, 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR instituted the Medal for the Defence of the Soviet Arctic, with about 353,000 people receiving this decoration.
