🎤 Интервью Посла России в Норвегии Т.О.Рамишвили информагентству РИА Новости
Объемы двусторонней торговли России и Норвегии упали почти на 80% с начала 2023 года, в первую очередь, это касается поставок российской продукции, заявил посол РФ в Норвегии Теймураз Рамишвили. В эксклюзивном интервью корреспонденту РИА Новости Александре Дибижевой он также рассказал о том, стоит ли мурманскому заповеднику ждать возмещения ущерба от Осло за незаконный выпас оленей на своей территории, и когда могут быть запущены чартерные рейсы из России на Шпицберген.

🇷🇺🇪🇬📞 On November 2, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a telephone conversation with Foreign Minister of the Arab Republic of Egypt Sameh Shoukry, at Russia’s initiative.
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.

📆 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.

📅 #OTD in 1612, the people’s volunteer army led by Kuzma Minin and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky, liberated Moscow from Polish-Lithuanian invaders.
Therefore, #NationalUnityDay (introduced by the executive order of the President of Russia in December 2004) has been celebrated all over our country every year since 2005.
🦅 The holiday has deep historical roots. It was celebrated from 1613 until 1917, and was established by the first tsar of the Romanov dynasty Michael to honour the icon of Our Lady of Kazan, which accompanied the liberators of Moscow.
A monument to citizen Minin and Prince Pozharsky by sculptor Ivan Martos was erected on Red Square on the order of Emperor Alexander I in 1818 to honour the memory of patriots who led the fight for national liberation.
On November 4, 2005, a copy of this monument, executed by Zurab Tsereteli and gifted by Moscow City Hall, was unveiled in Nizhny Novgorod, a city that played a crucial role in creating the volunteer army.
💬 Vladimir Putin: The history of our country is continuous, a constant stream. We must consider it in its entirety, with all its extremely complicated and even controversial periods. For the state, the authorities, society and its citizens, it is crucial to have objective, complete knowledge of our past, both the distant past and the near and recent past. Everything here matters, especially today.

The capital of Soviet Ukraine had been under Nazi occupation for 778 days.
🕯 In Kiev the Nazis used a tactic of mass terror. More than 120,000 people were executed in Babi Yar alone. About 100,000 Kievans were deported to Germany for hard labour. By November 1943, the city’s population shrank to 180,000 people – all that was left from nearly a million residents in pre-war years.
Kiev suffered widespread damage over its time under Nazi occupation. The Assumption Cathedral of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra was destroyed, as were the public library, the conservatory, the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, and the city’s zoological museum. Kiev lost all of its bridges, overpasses, most medical institutions, 140 schools, 940 buildings that housed state and public institutions, over 800 industrial facilities, 1,742 blocks of flats, and 3,600 private residences.
The liberation of Kiev was more than just a strategic success of the Red Army and a major milestone on the way to expelling the Germans from the Ukrainian SSR, and reaching the border with Romania and Poland. It was a huge moral victory of the Soviet people over the Nazi invaders.

#MiddleEast
The situation in the conflict zone has taken an extremely negative turn with the confrontation entering a new dangerous phase on October 28, 2023. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) launched a ground operation in Gaza Strip
The number of victims is growing exponentially. The humanitarian disaster has been gaining momentum against the backdrop of the military escalation. It is in its early days and its ramifications will be felt for years and decades to come unless concrete steps are made to de-escalate.
There is a growing risk of this conflict spilling over across the region. The provocative military manoeuvring by the US in the Eastern Mediterranean is having a destabilising effect on the Middle East.
#IOC
We have noted the statement by a representative of the International Olympic Committee, who urged officials and athletes to not allow discrimination against Israel against the backdrop of the Gaza Strip conflict. It was said that the IOC adheres to the concept of individual responsibility and that athletes cannot be responsible for the actions of their governments. It was stated as an official position of the International Olympic Committee.
We cannot help but regard this statement as out of touch with the IOC’s deeply discriminatory attitude towards Russian and Belarusian athletes.
<...>
We strongly insist that the rights of all Russian and Belarusian athletes who suffered from the IOC’s deliberate politicisation of the sports agenda be restored.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement on the completion of the procedure for the Russian Federation's withdrawal from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE Treaty)
📃 At midnight on November 7, 2023, the procedure planned under the CFE for Russia's withdrawal from this agreement was completed. Thus, the international legal document, the operation of which was suspended by our country in 2007, has become history for Russia once and for all.
At the same time, two other legally binding agreements closely associated with the Agreement on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) − the so-called Budapest Agreement of November 3, 1990 on the maximum levels for holdings of conventional armaments and equipment for six member states of the Warsaw Treaty, and the Flank Document of May 31, 1996 − have also lost force for the Russian Federation as well
The Western participants overestimated their ability to influence Russia and our country's interest in the CFE Treaty. Given the destructive stance of the United States and its allies towards the Agreement on Adaptation of the CFE Treaty, Russia suspended the treaty's operation in 2007.
☝️ This aligned with the Munich speech by President Putin (February 2007), and became one of our country’s first steps to staunchly oppose the hegemony of the collective West and the West-imposed security concept based on arbitrary rules.
By suspending the CFE Treaty, Russia left the door open for a dialogue on ways to restore the viability of conventional arms control in Europe. However, our opponents did not take this opportunity and continued to base their policies on anti-Russian bloc principles rather than cooperation.
❗️ Given the direct responsibility of NATO countries for fuelling the Ukraine conflict, as well as the accession of Finland to the alliance and the ongoing consideration of a similar application by Sweden, even the formal preservation of the CFE Treaty has become unacceptable from the standpoint of Russia's core security interests.

#Ukraine
Not only have the people across the ocean opted to ignore the cruelty with which the Kiev regime has been using American weapons against civilians, but they even view this as something rather normal. We used to say that they probably failed to notice these developments. But no, they believe them to be the norm. This is the new normal for them, together with the fact that supplying more and more weapons to Ukrainian neo-Nazis causes hostilities to escalate and increasingly draws the United States into the conflict in and around Ukraine.
#MiddleEast
The Gaza Strip is under a ruthless blockade, which primarily affects the civilians. Gaza is experiencing a critical lack of fuel, food, and medications. The clean water shortage is fraught with a sharp deterioration in the sanitary and epidemiological situation.
We appreciate the initiation of the process for evacuating foreign nationals from the Gaza Strip to Egypt through the Rafah Border Crossing.
Along with addressing immediate de-escalation tasks, we consider it important to take steps to lay the foundation for relaunching a full-fledged political process in order to provide a comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue on a recognised international legal basis.
