⚡️ The 2025 Report On Violations of the Rights of Russian Citizens and Compatriots in Foreign Countries by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
📖 Read the full report
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation is consistently paying close attention in its work to violations of the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens and compatriots in foreign countries and makes considerable efforts to protect the interests of our compatriots within the authority of its diplomatic missions. <...>
Russians continue to be subjected to barbaric discrimination, primarily in Europe and North America where persist wide-spread and already known violations of the rights of Russians, such as:
• denial of a wide range of services (educational, medical, banking, etc.);
• imposition of measures against Russian businesses;
• seizure of property of Russian citizens;
• forcing them to public repentance;
• condemnation of the actions of Russian authorities;
• suspension of Russian athletes from sports and cultural events.
There are continued reports of attacks, threats and insults against Russians, deliberate damage of their property and all sorts of discrimination in everyday life. <...>
In the light of support for the Neo-nazi regime in Kiev demonstrated by the collective West, the most Russophobic policy is pursued by Poland, Baltic States, Ukraine and some other countries.
Under the pretext of "condemning Russian aggression" all these countries have boosted their efforts to fight against monuments and memorials commemorating Red Army soldiers. As true followers of Nazi ideology, they brought Europe almost to the point of paranoia and manic pursuit of any symbol of memory in honour of the fighters against fascism.
Such ignominious acts, inter alia, contradicting the Nuremberg Tribunal decisions, are examined not only in this report, but also in the Russian Foreign Ministry’s reports, such as following:
👉 Eighty Years after the Great Victory: Europe has Once Again Fallen in the Shadow of Nazism;
👉 On the Situation in several European countries with the desecration and destruction of monuments dedicated to those who fought against Nazism during World War II;
👉 Regarding the Situation with the Glorification of Nazism and the Spread of Neo-Nazism and Other Practices That Contribute to Fueling Contemporary Forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance.
In a number of countries (first of all in the Baltic States, the United States, Canada and Ukraine), members of the Russian-speaking community who promote maintaining of cultural, linguistic and historical ties with Russia and advocate constructive relations with our country are facing pressure and repression on the part of authorities.
In addition, the authorities in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Ukraine continue squeezing the Russian language out of all educational institutions, thus limiting the right to education in one's native language for their residents (including citizens).
Furthermore, the threat of mass deportation of Russian-speaking residents by the authorities of the Baltic States is persisting which confirms their efforts to find the final solution to the "Russian problem" as well as the unprecedented problem of widespread statelessness in their territories.
In an accelerated way, restricting instruction in Russian and imposing various bans, Finland and Moldavia try to catch up with the "leaders" of Russophobia. <...>
☝️ The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, for its part, continues to take all possible diplomatic steps to protect the rights of Russian citizens imprisoned abroad.
<...>
We continue to record cases of foreign authorities' obstructing the activities of Russian journalists and persons representing Russian media.
❗️ We reiterate that all such actions demonstrate the desire of Western countries to eradicate alternative points of view and prevent the realization of one of the basic rights of their citizens, i.e. the right to freedom of expression.

🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin answered questions from journalists and the people of Russia at the 2025 Year-End Conference (December 19, 2025)
Read in full
Key points:
• In 2025, Russia's GDP growth stood at 1%. However, over the past three years, cumulative growth reached 9.7%, which is a more representative figure. By comparison, growth in the eurozone over the same period amounted to 3.1%. Slower growth in Russia is a deliberate choice – the price paid for preserving economic quality, stability, and sound macroeconomic fundamentals.
• Attempts in Brussels to seize Russian assets should not be called “theft” but robbery, as these actions are carried out openly. This robbery has not been carried out because the consequences could be extremely serious for the perpetrators – not only for their reputation, but also for the foundations of the global financial system. All assets taken will ultimately have to be returned. Russia will defend its interests, primarily through legal channels.
• Claims that Russia is rejecting peace initiatives are completely baseless. Moscow has openly stated its readiness to make compromises. At this stage, the initiative now lies fully with the West – above all, with the Kiev regime and its European sponsors. Russia stands ready for negotiations and a peaceful resolution.
• Efforts to build a new security architecture in Europe remain highly relevant. Even before the collapse of the USSR, proposals were made in Europe for a security system without NATO expansion, involving the US, Eastern Europe, and Russia – without exclusions or threats. Russia is not demanding anything extraordinary and does not challenge states’ right to choose their means of defence, but such choices must not threaten others, including Russia.
• Europe’s ruling elites are trying to hide years of economic and social policy failures with the myth of a “hostile Russia”. Where is Europe’s so-called "green agenda", when coal plants are being reopened and nuclear power stations being brought back? Today’s situation was created by Western politicians themselves, who continue to escalate tensions.
• Donald Trump was previously accused of "colluding with Russia" during the elections, but the allegations proved baseless – there was no collusion or interference by Russia. At the same time, European political elites intervened directly, openly, and unambiguously. Some in Europe still hope that the 2026 US midterm elections might alter the political balance and enable increased pressure on President Trump.
• The combined GDP of Russia and European countries in purchasing power parity terms would exceed that of the US. By combining and complementing their capabilities, the sides could prosper instead of confronting each other. Russia is not fighting Europe – Europe is fighting Russia through Ukrainian nationalists. Moscow is ready to cease hostilities immediately, provided Russia’s security is guaranteed in the medium- and long-term.
• I hope that a blockade of the Kaliningrad Region never happens. But if threats of this kind are created, they will be eliminated. Everyone must clearly understand that such actions would lead to an unprecedented escalation, push the conflict to a completely different level, and could expand it up to a large-scale armed confrontation.
• Aggressive statements by NATO leadership raise serious concerns. In the updated US National Security Strategy, Russia is not designated as an enemy, despite the fact that the US is NATO’s key player, founder, and main sponsor. Yet NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte speaks of preparing for war with Russia – contradicting the position of NATO’s leading country and pointing to a lack of professional responsibility among a number of Western leaders.
• We are ready to work with the UK, Europe as a whole, and the US – but on equal terms and with mutual respect. ☝️ Should this point ever be reached, it will benefit everyone.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the meeting of the United Russia General Council’s Commission on International Cooperation (Moscow, December 18, 2025)
💬 Sergey Lavrov: One of the most egregious forms of neo-colonialism is interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states. The West has never relinquished these methods, though they have evolved and become more superficially acceptable. Their essence, however, remains unchanged: to prosper at others’ expense and to dictate how other nations should organise their governance and societies.
The tools employed include coercive pressure, direct military intervention, orchestrating so-called colour revolutions, and covert (and at times overt) interference in electoral processes – attempting to manipulate the free expression of citizens’ will and to dispute election results across a wide array of countries. Today, what we may rightly term “electoral neo-colonialism” poses a very real threat to the nations of the Global Majority. <...>
To discredit and falsify elections (when their outcomes do not suit the West and align with the aspirations of Western elites), a whole arsenal of unscrupulous methods is deployed. These include funding so-called “independent” (in reality, pro-Western) media, brazenly promoting false narratives, aggressively backing Western-favoured candidates regardless of their meagre domestic popularity, and manipulating international observation mechanisms. Biased assessments of election results are then laundered through structures like the OSCE/ODIHR [Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights] observation missions and presented as the “opinion of the international community.” <...>
All our efforts undertaken since the end of the 1990s and focused on the election factor to reach an agreement on drafting a provision regulating the operation of the ODIHR, primarily in election monitoring, which was to be adopted by consensus at the OSCE, have been rejected by the West. <...>
I was shocked by the “candour” of EU politicians when European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen publicly cautioned US President Trump against interfering in European democracy a week ago: “It is not on us, when it comes to elections, to decide who the leader of the country will be, but on the people of this country. That’s the sovereignty of the voters, and this must be protected. Nobody else is supposed to interfere, without any question.”
🤷♂️ Everyone remembers how it happened in Romania and Moldova, yet these people do not hesitate to make such “statements.”
As for election technologies, our country has been in the spotlight and under the gaze of Western geopolitical spin-doctors. We saw an unprecedented number of attempts at meddling during the Russian Federation’s presidential election in March 2024, unprecedented in the variety of forms and sophistication of methods. A wide variety of methods were actively used. The ill-wishers, who stood behind them, were attempting to discredit the free expression of people’s will and call into question its legitimacy and conformity to law. More than that, this was the case at all stages of the election campaign, from its announcement, or maybe even earlier, to the official designation of timeframes, to the nomination period, to the registration of nominees, to the polling days, and to the election count. <...>
We need to counterpose the multiplicity of democratic forms of statehood and organisation of society with what Europeans are attempting to impose on the rest of the world through their neoliberal agenda.
The fact that the United States no longer desires such democracy as it is understood in Europe is a serious indicator. Not long ago, US President Donald Trump, commenting on the Ukraine situation, advised Zelensky not to trample on democracy and to hold elections.

A Historic Gathering in St. Petersburg: Shaping the Future of Eurasian Integration
December 21, in St. Petersburg, the expanded-format meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council brought together leaders and partners to chart the course for our Union's development. Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia and Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, as the outgoing Chair, highlighted the EAEU's resilience and growth despite global challenges. The meeting underscored a shared commitment to deepening integration for the benefit of all member states' economies and citizens.
✅ Strong Foundations & Impressive Results: The EAEU Delivers
The outcomes speak for themselves. From 2020-2024, the Union's GDP grew by 11%, industrial output by 15%, and unemployment was halved to around 3%. This positive trend continues in 2025. Crucially, over 93% of mutual settlements are conducted in national currencies, ensuring a stable, independent financial infrastructure. The successful implementation of the past strategic cycle has created a powerful platform for the next stage.
✅ The Roadmap to 2030 and Beyond: EAEU 2.0 Takes Shape
The summit marked a pivotal moment with the adoption of the Action Plan for the Declaration on the Future Development until 2030 and for the Period up to 2045 ("EAEU 2.0"). This comprehensive roadmap focuses on key priorities: boosting industrial cooperation and tech sovereignty, achieving agricultural self-sufficiency, strengthening transport corridors, and ensuring the seamless operation of the internal market. Digital transformation and expanding humanitarian cooperation in tourism, sports, and healthcare are also central to enhancing citizens' wellbeing.
✅ A Union of Global Attraction: Expanding Partnerships
The growing interest from the Global Majority confirms the EAEU's role as a significant pole of economic attraction. The year saw the signing of agreements with the UAE and Mongolia, and today, a landmark agreement with Indonesia was concluded. Work continues with other partners, including India and Uzbekistan. As the chairmanship passes to Kazakhstan in 2026, the Union moves forward with confidence, united in its goal to build a prosperous, sovereign, and interconnected future for Eurasia.
