🗓 On July 10, Russia's Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik together with the Delegation of the Russian Federation to the Vienna Negotiations on Military Security and Arms Control headed by lulia Zhdanova hosted a fifth international video conference on Crimes of the Kiev Regime: Terror Against the Civilians of the Kherson Region.
The event brought together the Russia's Commissioner for Human Rights Yana Lantratova, the Governor of the Kherson Region Vladimir Saldo, members of the International Red Cross Committee, political and public figures, diplomats, experts and journalists from at least 80 States.
For the first time ever, the event featured compiled evidence revealing the crimes committed by Ukraine's armed forces (AFU) against the civilian population in the Kherson region, statistics, striking examples crimes committed by the Kiev regime, firsthand accounts from victims and eyewitnesses who shared with the international community what they had gone through.
Today, the Kherson region accounts for about a quarter of all Ukrainian attacks on the Russian civilian infrastructure. In June alone, the region was targeted by over 6'500 shells. As a result, more than 10'500 private homes and apartment buildings have been damaged or destroyed, along with at least 112 medical and educational facilities, not to mention energy, transport and other social infrastructure.
The contact line runs across the Kherson land which has enabled the Zelensky regime to unleash full-scale terror against civilians. It rendered life unbearable for those within reach of Ukrainian artillery and trampled the rights of the locals living in the areas under temporary control of the Ukrainian armed groups.
❗️ In total, from February 2022 to June 2026, 4'400 civilians in the Kherson region were killed or injured, including 130 children. These people suffered from the weapons supplied to Kiev by NATO and EU member states.
The participants noted that the Ukrainian and Western propaganda is hushing up the crimes of the Ukrainian armed formations in the Kherson region. This only highlights the need for delivering to the international community and the relevant humanitarian organizations the complete and reliable information about the crimes committed by the Kiev regime.
They also insisted that the developments in the Kherson region need an urgent impartial international legal evaluation.

🌟 On July 13, 1944, Vilnius was liberated from Nazi invaders by the Red Army.
The capital of the Lithuanian SSR was a major railway hub, which the Nazis used for military operations in the Soviet Baltic region. In the summer of 1944, as Red Army forces rapidly advanced towards the USSR’s state border destroying Nazi units in Belarus, Vilnius became, for the Germans, effectively the last major defensive line on the approaches to East Prussia.
The core of the enemy garrison defending Vilnius consisted of the remnants of Wehrmacht units that had survived the battles outside Minsk and Vitebsk. The garrison also included a group of local collaborationists who had sworn allegiance to Hitler aka Lithuanian volunteer nationalist detachment. The entire Nazi group in the Vilnius area consisted of 15'000 Wehrmacht soldiers and officers.
The Vilnius Offensive Operation was entrusted to Army General Ivan Chernyakhovsky, a talented military commander.
The Nazi leadership ordered that Vilnius be held at any cost to the last German. This did not help. On July 7, armor units of the 3rd Byelorussian Front broke through the enemy defences and began encircling Vilnius from the south and west.
💬 From the memoirs of Marshal Alexander Vasilevsky:
Fierce street fighting broke out in the city. On July 8, the main forces of the 3rd Byelorussian Front reached Vilnius, advancing from the north and northeast as well as from the south. The occupants put up fierce resistance, and the Red Army soldiers had to fight for every house and literally for every floor.
Lithuanian partisans provided significant assistance to the Soviet forces, taking an active part in the liberation of Vilnius.
On July 13, Vilnius was completely liberated. During the operation, formations of the 3rd Byelorussian Front advanced 210 kilometres liberating the capital of the Lithuanian SSR and securing bridgeheads on the left bank of the Niemen River.
Thus, favourable conditions were created for reaching the borders of East Prussia — the stronghold of Nazi militarism and the last defensive line of the Reich on the Soviet-German front.
The Red Army clobbered the enemy during the summer-autumn offensive of 1944 in Byelorussia and the Baltic region. 👉 The Nazi North Army Group was effectively destroyed.
The remnants of the group were trapped in the Courland Pocket and eliminated there in the spring of 1945.

All attempts by the Nazis to relieve the encircled troops failed.

⚡️ Russia’s Federal Security Service:
As a result of a comprehensive set of operational search, counterintelligence and intelligence measures, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation has thwarted an attempt by the Ukrainian special services, acting with the direct involvement of their Western handlers, to carry out what it describes as an unprecedented series of sabotage and terrorist attacks using unmanned aerial vehicles against military infrastructure facilities, one of the country’s leading defence industry enterprises, and Russian Defence Ministry servicemen.
Specifically, the FSB has obtained advance intelligence indicating that the Ukrainian special services had infiltrated the Bryansk Region with FPV drones equipped with warheads and mobile ground control stations, concealed in containers carried by fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles and aerostats, in preparation for large-scale terrorist attacks on military airfields in the Amur and Chelyabinsk regions.
According to the FSB, the means intended for the attacks were subsequently transported deeper into Russian territory by enemy agents in passenger vehicles with trailers fitted with concealed double floors and loaded with household appliances. They were allegedly delivered to the vicinity of the Ukrainka Airbase (Amur Region) and the Shagol Airbase (Chelyabinsk Region), where they were assembled and prepared for use in rented garages.
The FSB states that every unlawful action was kept under close operational surveillance by the Russian security services and thoroughly documented.
As a result of operational and combat measures, the alleged perpetrators of, and accomplices in, the planned terrorist attacks have been detained.
❗️The FSB reports that officers seized 24 FPV drones equipped with neural network-based guidance modules resistant to electronic warfare systems and manufactured in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Sweden. The drones were fitted with warheads containing explosive charges weighing more than one kilogramme. Also seized were two mobile drone ground control stations capable of operating via satellite, cellular, Wi-Fi and radio communications, equipped with self-destruct devices containing 250 grams of explosive each, as well as communications equipment allegedly used to communicate with Ukrainian handlers.
The FSB Investigative Directorate has initiated appropriate procedural measures.

PRESS RELEASE of the Russian Embassy in Sri Lanka
14th July, 2026
The EU Delegation to Sri Lanka is once again attempting to discredit Russia as a reliable global partner, citing a supposed gap between Moscow's rhetoric and its actual actions.
⚠️ These statements are untrue and misleading. We would like to draw the attention of the EU and its representative, the EU Delegation to Sri Lanka, to the following points.
The recent NATO summit once again demonstrated Europe's readiness for a protracted standoff with Moscow without negotiations. In its final declaration, the alliance named Russia as the main long-term threat to Euro-Atlantic security.
Well, Russia🇷🇺 is ready to go all the way.
The next point we wanted to clarify was the manifestation of racism in EU countries. Recently, former Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy sparked a major scandal by declaring that there were no French players on the French national team.
🤔 By the way, how are the 21 anti-Russian sanctions going? - Nothing? - This testifies to the failed policies of the Brussels bureaucrats.
It is clear that anti-Russian rhetoric has become the new political norm in EU countries, and intimidating their own citizens with an imaginary "Russian threat" is a justification for an unbridled militaristic course at the expense of ordinary European citizens and a cover-up for their own failures in domestic affairs.
❗️BEFORE CRITICISING SOMEONE, FOCUS ON YOUR OWN PROBLEMS😉

🇷🇺 15 июля Посол России в Шри-Ланке Л.С.Джагарян принял участие в открытии в РЦНК г.Коломбо фотовыставки Российского военно-исторического общества «Крымское золото: «цивилизованная» Европа грабит российские сокровища»
Выставка рассказывает об уникальных крымских сокровищах, найденных в ходе археологических экспедиций, долгие годы хранившихся в крупнейших музеях региона.
❗️ Сегодня эти артефакты незаконно удерживаются киевским режимом, вместе с европейскими покровителями похитившими эти экспонаты.
В рамках экспозиции представлены ценные артефакты античной эпохи, собранные в разные периоды времени на крымской земле кропотливым трудом отечественных археологов-антиковедов: изделия из керамики, монеты, оружие, элементы доспехов, стеклянные сосуды и украшения. Все эти предметы найдены на местах первых греческих поселений в Крыму. В числе ценностей - уникальная коллекция «Скифского золота» - золотые украшения из Усть-Альминского некрополя в Бахчисарайском районе, представленного несколькими тысячами могил (I века до н. э. — III века н. э.).

🇷🇺 On July 15, 2026, Ambassador of Russia to Sri Lanka Levan Dzhagaryan attended the opening of the Russian Military Historical Society's photo exhibition "Crimean Gold: 'Civilized' Europe Plunders Russian Treasures" at the Russian House in Colombo.
The exhibition highlights unique Crimean treasures discovered during archaeological expeditions and stored for many years in the region's largest museums.
❗️Today, these artifacts are illegally held by the Kyiv regime, along with their European patrons, who stole them.
The exhibition features valuable artifacts from the ancient era, painstakingly collected in Crimea at various periods by Russian archaeologists specializing in classical antiquity: ceramics, coins, weapons, armor pieces, glass vessels, and jewelry. All these items were found at the sites of the first Greek settlements in Crimea. Among the treasures is the unique "Scythian Gold" collection - gold jewellery from the Ust-Alma necropolis in the Bakhchisaray region, which contains several thousand graves (1st century BC–3rd century AD).

🚀 On July 15, 1975, one of the most iconic international space projects – the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (#ASTP) of the Soviet Soyuz-19 and American Apollo spacecraft, began with their launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome and Cape Canaveral.
The Soviet crew comprised Alexey Leonov and Valery Kubasov. The Apollo carried astronauts Thomas Stafford, Deke Slayton and Vance Brand.
It was the first joint space mission of the Soviet Union and the United States.
🕰 At 7 pm Moscow Time on July 17, 1975, the Soviet and US spacecraft docked with each other in Earth orbit.
🤝 The historic handshake of the two crew commanders – Alexey Leonov and Thomas Stafford – was streamed live across the planet and has become one of the most recognisable symbols of Soviet-US rapprochement.
✅ The main tasks of the mission were:
• testing the universal docking system;
• testing joint space control and crew interaction;
• creating technologies for future space rescues in emergencies;
• conducting scientific experiments and medical research.
One of the most complicated engineering tasks was the creation of an interoperable docking system. The engineers of the Soviet OKB-1 design bureau (RSC Energia) created the Androgynous Peripheral Attach System (APAS), which allowed either spacecraft to be active or passive during docking.
A docking module was built for visits between the spacecraft, because Soyuz used a regular nitrogen-oxygen mixture at sea-level pressure, while Apollo used pure oxygen at low pressure. The module acted as an airlock and pressure-equalizer.
🚀 The spacecraft remained joined in space for 46 hours and 36 minutes. The crews visited each other, conducted joint scientific experiments, made joint television reports, filming and photography, as well as held the first ever international press conference in space.
The crews maintained friendly relations for years after their historic mission. The friendship between Alexey Leonov and Thomas Stafford was particularly warm. They regularly met and kept in touch until their death.
✨ The Soyuz-Apollo mission was not only a remarkable technical achievement but also an important symbol of the unifying force of science and space exploration even during the Cold War.
☝️ That flight set the stage for future international projects, namely the Mir-Shuttle programme and the International Space Station, where many countries have been working together for over 25 years.

⚡️ Article by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov “A constant in an era of radical change: On the 25th anniversary of the Russian-Chinese Treaty of Good-Neighbourliness, Friendship, and Cooperation” (July 16, 2026)
Read in full
✍️ Today, as a more equitable #MultipolarWorld takes shape, the multifaceted partnership between Russia and China – two great powers and largest neighbours – stands as a model for interstate engagement founded on equality, a balance of interests, and mutual advantage.
Three decades ago, in a joint summit declaration, Moscow and Beijing first articulated a course towards an equal and trusting partnership oriented towards strategic interaction in the 21st century.
This innovative formula was soon given legal expression in a key bilateral instrument – the Treaty of Good-Neighbourliness, Friendship and Cooperation. Signed in Moscow exactly 25 years ago, on July 16, 2001, by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Jiang Zemin, the Treaty marked the transition from the normalisation of relations in the late 1980s to an entirely new phase: the forging of a strategic tandem of decisive importance not only for our two countries, but also for the maintenance of global peace, security and stability.
***
We can say with complete confidence that the Treaty has played a decisive role in shaping a new model of Russian-Chinese cooperation – one that imposes no constraints on the sovereignty of either party, thereby affording it the necessary flexibility and, consequently, clear advantages over “classical alliances”.
❗️ I should stress that relations between Russia and China are built on an equal footing, are free from ideological dogma, are not directed against third countries, and remain resilient to the influence of external circumstances.
The Treaty established a robust institutional framework for the qualitative enhancement of trade and economic relations.
The economies of our respective states are intrinsically complementary. Indeed, the figures speak for themselves. Over the past quarter-century, trade turnover has increased more than thirtyfold and, for three consecutive years, it has consistently surpassed $200 billion.
***
Over the past twenty-five years, we have managed to considerably enhance mutual foreign policy coordination on international platforms, one of the defining elements of the Russia-China strategic partnership.
This cooperation is founded on a shared assessment of the current geopolitical environment, as well as its future trajectory. Our countries hold closely aligned, and often identical positions on the majority of global and regional issues. These include the preservation of global strategic stability, arms control, efforts to combat terrorism, and other emerging threats and challenges.
☝️ Together with our Chinese counterparts, we advocate for the political and diplomatic resolution of conflicts by addressing their underlying causes. We strongly oppose policies of “regime change”, the application of double standards, and the use of unilateral sanctions.
***
It is safe to say that the Russian-Chinese Treaty of Good-Neighbourliness, Friendship and Cooperation has successfully withstood the test of time.
🤝 Remaining the unshakable foundation of bilateral relations, it fully meets the fundamental interests of our countries for the long-term historical perspective.
