🇷🇺 Russian President Vladimir Putin at the plenary session of the 10th St Petersburg International United Cultures Forum:
📍 September 12, 2024, Saint Petersburg
🌐 The importance of humanism and dialogue, mutual respect and trust in the world is shared by the global majority. However, these values are under constant pressure and threat, primarily due to unprecedented politicization of culture. It is increasingly being weaponized in geopolitical schemes, while national value systems and traditions are marginalized and belittled by agendas promoted by globalist elites and the ruling circles in certain countries.
📉 Today, many high-ranking politicians have lost their moral boundaries, crossing the lines that were respected even during the height of the Cold War. In countries where such elites rule, people gradually start to accept xenophobia and then extreme forms of discrimination and persecution based on nationality, ethnicity, or religion. We are well aware of how quickly regimes can become dehumanized in such environments, and the devastating impact this has on families and individuals of all ages. We witness this happening today.
✅ This is why I have recently signed a Presidential Executive Order to provide humanitarian support to those who share traditional Russian spiritual and moral values. We are not fighting against any other values – we support our own. This is the difference in approaches between us and our opponents.
🤝 We understand that cultural development thrives on continuous interaction and mutual enrichment. The unity of diverse cultures and traditions holds immense creative power. This unity defines our national identity and embodies core national values such as mutual support, justice, compassion, historical memory, continuity of generations, strong family bonds, patriotism, and civic duty.

❗️ Европейские страны, Великобритания и США агрессивно и цинично используют Совет в своих геополитических целях. Ни о какой заботе о правах человека речи не идёт. Благодаря этой недальновидной и неконструктивной политике подрываются основы деятельности СПЧ, происходит глубокий раскол среди государств, наносится непоправимый урон универсальной системе поощрения и защиты прав человека.
📉 Между тем в самих европейских странах, в частности в Прибалтике, Германии и Франции, а также в Великобритании, США, Канаде положение в области прав человека деградирует.
🔥 В странах «коллективного Запада» отмечается рост дискриминации в отношении лиц африканского происхождения, цыган, русскоязычных, мигрантов и представителей коренных народов. Усиливаются исламофобия, антисемитизм, нацизм, процветает откровенная русофобия. Продолжается процесс насильственного выдворения русскоязычных жителей из Латвии, Литвы и Эстонии.
🔇 Миф о «российской пропаганде» используется на Западе для ужесточения агрессивной риторики и оправдания оголтелой борьбы с инакомыслием и альтернативными точками зрения. Российские СМИ подвергаются репрессиям. От оппонентов зачищается «политическое поле». Активисты гражданского общества и журналисты сталкиваются с угрозами, нападениями, стигматизацией, политически мотивированным преследованием, слежкой.
⚔️ Милитаристская сущность Запада выражается в поставках США, Великобританией, Германией, Францией Киеву летального оружия, которое используется для ударов по гражданским объектам Донбасса и других российских территорий, убийства там мирных жителей. В последнее время западные страны планомерно снимают запреты на использование своего оружия для нанесения ударов по территории России.
☦️ Одновременно с этим на Западе закрывают глаза на притеснение национальных меньшинств и верующих на Украине, в т. ч. принятие закона, направленного на запрет канонической Украинской православной церкви.

❗️ Придаём большое значение нынешней сессии Совета по торговле и развитию. Нам предстоит «сверить часы» и обменяться оценками текущей экономической ситуации в контексте подготовки к Министерской конференции ЮНКТАД в 2025 г.
✅ В связи с этим отмечаем важность проводимой Секретариатом работы в таких вопросах, как:
• упрощение торговли и снижение барьеров;
• достижение Целей устойчивого развития, особенно в контексте обеспечения экономической и социальной устойчивости;
• снижение бедности, борьба с неравенством и поддержка инклюзивного роста;
• развитие цифровой экономики и стимулирование инноваций;
• привлечение инвестиций;
• укрепление устойчивости к экономическим и социальным потрясениям;
• поддержка многостороннего подхода и международного сотрудничества.
📈 В данном контексте отмечаем позитивную роль интеграционных процессов в поддержании экономической стабильности. Призываем заинтересованные страны наращивать взаимодействие с международными и региональными структурами. Со своей стороны государства ЕАЭС традиционно выступают за развитие взаимовыгодного многостороннего экономического сотрудничества.
🌐 Работа ЮНКТАД, безусловно, востребована. Убеждены, что Организация должна сыграть весомую роль в формировании нового консенсуса и разработке новых эффективных стратегий реагирования на вызовы в области развития. Исходим из того, что решения предстоящей Министерской конференции ознаменуют укрепление мандата ЮНКТАД.

❗️ We consider the current Trade and Development Board Session very important. We have several flagship publications to discuss, examine the reports of the UNCTAD bodies, compare notes, and exchange views on the current economic situation in preparation for the 2025 UNCTAD Ministerial Conference.
✅ Regarding the upcoming Conference, we note the significance of the Secretariat's work on such issues as:
• trade facilitation and reducing barriers;
• achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, especially in the context of ensuring economic and social sustainability;
• reducing poverty,
• dealing with inequality and supporting inclusive growth;
• developing digital economy and fostering innovations;
• attracting investments;
• strengthening resilience to economic and social disruptions, as well as in supporting multilateralism and international cooperation.
📈 In this context, we note the positive role of integration processes in maintaining economic stability. We encourage the countries concerned to increase cooperation with international and regional institutions. On our part, the EAEU countries are traditionally committed to the development of mutually beneficial multilateral economic cooperation.
🌐 The work of UNCTAD is undoubtedly in demand. We are convinced that the Organization should play a significant role in shaping a new consensus and developing new effective strategies for responding to development challenges. We believe that the decisions of the upcoming Ministerial Conference will strengthen the mandate of UNCTAD.

🎬 На прошлой неделе в Постпредстве России при Отделении ООН в Женеве состоялся приуроченный ко Дню знаний семейный кинопоказ фильма И.Учителя «Летучий корабль». На приглашение откликнулись сотрудники постпредств стран СНГ и секретариатов международных организаций в Женеве, а самое главное - многочисленные юные кинозрители.
🚢 Современная интерпретация «Летучего корабля», вдохновлённая одноимённым шедевром «Союзмультфильма» 1979 г., пускай и не ставила перед собой задачу конкурировать с советской анимационной классикой, тем не менее помогла окунуться в мир русских народных сказок и традиций, создать по-настоящему тёплую и душевную атмосферу.
✊ Спасибо всем, кто присоединился к нам, и до новых встреч на следующих кинопоказах!

🤝 Благодарим г-жу Довгань за качественный анализ возможностей и механизмов мониторинга и оценки воздействия ОПМ на права человека, способов обеспечения их использования, а также проблемы чрезмерного применения таких мер.
📉 Констатируем, что порочная практика применения ОПМ, включая вторичные санкции в отношении третьих стран, продолжает расширяться и приводит к дальнейшему ухудшению социально-экономического положения населения в затрагиваемых ими государствах. Страновые визиты и выводы г-жи Довгань по их итогам являются наглядным тому подтверждением.
❌ Категорически отвергаем незаконную по своей сути практику применения ОПМ в качестве инструмента давления на суверенные государства. Такие политически мотивированные действия нарушают основные права и свободы человека, общепризнанные нормы международного права, подрывают усилия государств по разрешению кризисных ситуаций и неоднократно были осуждены в резолюциях Генассамблеи ООН.
❗️ В целом поддерживаем рекомендации доклада, являющиеся важным вкладом в изучение явления ОПМ и противодействия ему. Призываем продолжить эту важную работу. Также настоятельно призываем УВКПЧ оказывать все необходимое содействие г-же Довгань в эффективном выполнении порученного ей мандата.

🇱🇻🇱🇹🇪🇪 Вновь вынуждены привлечь внимание к вопиющей ситуации, связанной с притеснением русскоязычного населения в странах Прибалтики. Движимые лютой русофобией, правительства указанных стран планомерно искореняют возможность получения образования на русском языке, который является родным для десятков тысяч проживающих там людей.
❌ Эти шаги прибалтийских государств, позиционирующих себя «образцовыми демократиями», являются грубейшим нарушением Международной конвенции о ликвидации всех форм расовой дискриминации и Европейской конвенции о правах лиц, принадлежащих к национальным или этническим, религиозным и языковым меньшинствам.
❗️ Степень этой неприкрытой дискриминации в отношении десятков тысяч русскоязычных жителей данных стран стала настолько запредельной, что даже Управление Верховного комиссара ООН по правам человека устами своего официального представителя, наконец, признало, что последовательное введение в прибалтийских странах языковых ограничений и выдавливание обучения на родном языке «без каких-либо консультаций или учета мнения языковых меньшинств» представляет собой нарушение этими правительствами своих международных обязательств, в том числе касающихся недопустимости дискриминации по языковому признаку.
🇺🇦 Россия говорила об этом годами, но на эти факты попросту закрывали глаза. Так же как это происходит сейчас с русофобской политикой киевских властей, в рамках которой реализован полный запрет на использование русского языка на Украине. Такая ситуация категорически неприемлема. Ожидаем, что УВКПЧ всё же найдет в себе силы и мужество дать объективную оценку и в данном случае.

⚡️ On the UN General Assembly’s resolution on Palestine
On September 18, the 10th emergency special session of the UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly in favour of a resolution in support of the second advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice on the legal consequences arising from Israel’s policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank of the Jordan River, including East Jerusalem).
✅ A total of 124 states (including Russia) voted in favour of the resolution.
❌ 14 voted against (Israel, the United States, Argentina, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Malawi, Paraguay and several island states).
🤷♂️ 43 nations (mostly EU members) abstained.
The document provides detailed conclusions and recommendations of the International Court of Justice on policies and practices in the OPT, and a number of concrete measures to ensure the implementation of that decision. It cites, in particular, the illegal nature of Israeli presence and demands that it cease immediately all new settlement activity, evacuate all settlers from the OPT, and make reparation for the damage caused to all the natural and legal persons concerned.
The resolution calls on all UN member states and international organisations not to recognise as legal the situation arising from Israel’s unlawful presence in the OPT.
The resolution includes the court’s vital opinion that Israel’s policy and practices amount to the annexation of large parts of the OPT and constitute a direct violation of the Palestinians’ right to self-determination.
We would like to note that the vote on that UN General Assembly resolution took place amid an unprecedented escalation of violence and bloodshed in the zone of the Arab-Israeli conflict. This is the fourth UN General Assembly decision aimed at protecting the Palestinian people and its fundamental right to self-determination, including its right to a sovereign and independent state within the 1967 borders, with a capital in East Jerusalem.
☝️ In this connection, we would like to state again, with deep regret, that the US-dominated UN Security Council has not adopted similar vital statements. As you may know, Washington has recently exercised its veto power on five occasions, often unilaterally, to block UN Security Council draft resolutions on a ceasefire and on Palestine’s admission to the UN.
❗️ We view the adoption of this UNGA resolution as a crucial step towards international recognition of the illegality of Israel’s practices. It will also help enhance broad efforts to coordinate practical measures aimed at ensuring compliance with international law, ending the longest occupation in modern history, and implementing the two-state solution.

🇱🇻🇱🇹🇪🇪 We are once again compelled to draw attention to the outrageous situation concerning the oppression of the Russian-speaking population in the Baltic states. Driven by rabid Russophobia, the governments of these countries are systematically eradicating the possibility of receiving education in Russian, which is native to tens of thousands of people living in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
❌ These actions of the Baltic states, which portray themselves as "flagship democracies", constitute a gross violation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and the European Convention on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious, and Linguistic Minorities.
❗️ The degree of this blatant discrimination against tens of thousands of Russian-speaking residents of these countries has reached such a critical point that even the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, through its official representative, has finally acknowledged that the consistent imposition of language restrictions and the suppression of native language education in the Baltic States "without any consultation or consideration of the views of linguistic minorities" constitutes a violation by these governments of their international obligations, including the prohibition of language-based discrimination.
🇺🇦 Russia has been raising this issue for years, but these facts have been simply ignored. Just as they are being ignored now regarding the Russophobic policies of the Kiev authorities, who have implemented a complete ban on the use of the Russian language in Ukraine. This situation is categorically unacceptable. We expect that the OHCHR will eventually find the strength and courage to provide an objective assessment in this case as well.

🇻🇪 Продолжаем отслеживать развитие ситуации в Венесуэле.
🔥 Фактически сегодня против этой страны ведётся гибридная война в целях непризнания воли избирателей, а также решений электоральных органов и судебной власти, дискредитации законно переизбранного главы государства. Используется широкий инструментарий: от санкционного давления до посягательств на общественно-политический и конституционный порядок. США и радикальная оппозиция открыто задействуют ресурсы организованных преступных группировок для провоцирования насилия и дестабилизации ситуации в стране.
❌ Обеспокоены продолжением использования международных правозащитных структур в целях разжигания антивенесуэльских настроений. Считаем недопустимым их задействование для оказания влияния на внутриполитическую обстановку и подрыва авторитета действующего руководства страны. Озабочены ангажированностью УВКПЧ, которое, с одной стороны, спекулирует на тему якобы нарушений со стороны венесуэльских властей, а с другой – демонстративно игнорирует преступления, совершаемые оппонентами официального Каракаса.
❗️ Настоятельно призываем отказаться от подобной порочной практики и сосредоточиться на оказании Венесуэле реальной помощи в наращивании правозащитного потенциала и нормализации внутриполитической ситуации.

🇻🇪 We continue to monitor the situation in Venezuela.
🔥 A hybrid war is currently being waged against this country, aimed at undermining the will of its voters, disregarding the decisions of electoral bodies and the judiciary, and discrediting the legitimately re-elected head of state. A broad range of tactics is being employed, from sanctions pressure to attacks on the country’s socio-political and constitutional order. The US, along with the radical opposition, is openly using organized criminal groups to provoke violence and destabilize the situation in the country.
❌ We are deeply concerned over the continued misuse of international human rights mechanisms to provoke anti-Venezuelan sentiment. It is unacceptable to manipulate these structures to influence Venezuela's domestic political affairs and undermine the authority of its current leadership. Also troubling is the bias displayed by the OHCHR, which, on one hand, speculates on alleged violations by Venezuelan authorities, while, on the other, blatantly ignores the crimes committed by opponents of the official government in Caracas.
❗️ We strongly call to reject these flawed practices and instead focus on providing Venezuela with genuine assistance in strengthening its human rights capacity and stabilizing its domestic political situation.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question regarding Zelensky’s statements
❓ Question: Yesterday, Zelensky whose presidential term expired on May 20, held a news conference with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen during which he stressed the need to strengthen Ukraine as far as possible so that the second “peace summit” could be held already in 2024. According to Zelensky, it could take place as early as November 2024 with Russian representatives present. How would you comment on this statement?
💬 Maria Zakharova: Statements by the “expired” Zelensky reflect nothing more than wishful thinking.
Russian representatives did not take part in any meetings during the “Burgenstock process,” nor do they intend to in the future.
This process has nothing to do with a peace settlement and represents yet another instance of deceit by the Westerners (Anglo-Saxons) and their Ukrainian puppets. The so-called second summit pursues the same goal: to enforce the completely unviable “Zelensky formula” as the sole basis (which apparently has no alternative) for resolving the conflict, persuading the Global Majority to support this formula while presenting Russia with an ultimatum demanding its surrender.
❗️ We will not take part in these “summits”.
However, we do not reject the resolution of the crisis through political and diplomatic means. We are open to discussing serious proposals that take into account the situation on the ground and emerging geopolitical realities, as well as the relevant initiative put forth by President of Russia Vladimir Putin on June 14.
☝️ Achieving a fair and stable peace settlement is impossible without Russia and consideration of its interests.
However, Kiev and the West are not thinking about peace. They need war. This is confirmed by the gangster-style incursion into the Kursk Region by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as by Zelensky’s persistent pleas for permission to carry out strike deep inside Russian territory using NATO’s long-range weapons. This constitutes a continuation of terrorist attacks against our country.
❌ We will not engage in dialogue with terrorists.

🇧🇾 Констатируем непрекращающиеся попытки использования правозащитной тематики с целью оказания давления на Минск. С сожалением отмечаем двойные стандарты и предвзятые подходы при оценке ситуации с правами человека в Республике Беларусь.
🤐 При этом умалчивается дестабилизирующая роль стран Запада: их массированная поддержка эмигрировавшей оппозиции, применение незаконных ограничительных мер против белорусской экономики и госслужащих, запугивание последних судебным преследованием, разжигание среди граждан страны через подконтрольные Западу инфоресурсы и НПО антиправительственных настроений.
🇺🇳 Сожалеем, что для неприкрытого вмешательства во внутренние дела Республики Беларусь бесцеремонно используются механизмы СПЧ, в данном случае – т.н. «группа независимых экспертов», работа которых на данном направлении ведётся с грубым нарушением базовых принципов деятельности правозащитных органов системы ООН, а именно – объективности и беспристрастности.
❗️ Убеждены, что любые противоречия внутри белорусского общества могут и должны быть урегулированы исключительно в рамках внутриполитического процесса без вмешательства извне. Считаем недопустимыми нагнетание антибелорусской истерии в международных организациях и распространение ангажированной информации о ситуации в стране, а также использование правозащитных механизмов ООН для продвижения геополитических установок «коллективного Запада».

🇧🇾 We note continuous efforts to exploit human rights issues as a tool to exert pressure on Minsk. We regret the persistent double standards and biased approaches when assessing the human rights situation in the Republic of Belarus.
🤐 Meanwhile, the destabilizing role of Western countries is being ignored: their widespread support for the opposition abroad, imposition of illegal coercive measures against the Belarusian economy and government officials, intimidation of the latter through judicial prosecution, and incitement of anti-government sentiments among the country’s population through Western-controlled media and NGOs.
🇺🇳 We regret that the HRC mechanisms are being used to brazenly interfere in domestic affairs of the Republic of Belarus. In this case, the so-called "group of independent experts" is conducting its activities with gross violations of the fundamental principles of the UN human rights bodies – namely, objectivity and impartiality.
❗️ We are convinced that any internal disagreements within the Belarusian society must and can only be resolved through domestic political processes without external interference. Incitement of anti-Belarusian hysteria in international organizations and the spread of biased information about the country’s situation are unacceptable, as well as the use of UN human rights mechanisms to promote geopolitical agendas of the “collective West”.

🏔️ Осенью 1799 г. российские солдаты и офицеры под командованием великого полководца А.В.Суворова совершили знаменитый «переход через Альпы», навечно вписав свои имена в историю беспримерным героизмом и самопожертвованием. А ровно 225 лет назад, 25 сентября 1799 г., произошло одно из наиболее ярких событий «Швейцарского похода» - победа российских войск над французами в битве за «Чёртов мост» в швейцарском ущелье Шолленен.
🪶 По итогам сражения генерал-фельдмаршал А.В.Суворов в своём донесении Российскому Императору Павлу I рапортовал:
☦️ В сентябре 1898 г. на месте этой знаменитой битвы, уже у заново отстроенного «Чёртова моста» был установлен мемориал в честь погибших сподвижников А.В.Суворова – высеченный в скале 12-метровый крест, у которого из года в год проводятся различные памятные мероприятия.
💐 Вчера, несмотря на ограничения со стороны швейцарских властей властей, у «Суворовского креста» прошла торжественная церемония возложения венков, организованная Посольством России в Берне при содействии Посольства Белоруссии в Берне, в которой также принял участие заместитель Постоянного Представителя России при Отделении ООН в Женеве А.В.Летошнев.
🤝 По завершении поминальной литургии и официальной части мероприятия возложить цветы к монументу и отдать дань уважения подвигу русских воинов смогли российские соотечественники и неравнодушные жители Швейцарии, байкеры из «Ночных волков» и «Ночных валькирий», а также представители швейцарской ассоциации «Колокольный звон дружбы».

«Войска Вашего Императорского Величества прошли через тёмную горную пещеру, заняли мост, удивительной игрой природы из двух гор сооружённый и проименованный ‘Тёйфельсбрюкке’. Оный разрушен неприятелем. Но сие не останавливает победителей, доски связываются шарфами офицеров, по сим доскам бегут они, спускаются с вершины в бездны и, достигая врага, поражают его всюду…»

🏔️ In the autumn of 1799, Russian soldiers and officers, led by the legendary military commander Alexander Suvorov, set out for their famed “Alpine crossing”, forever inscribing their names in history through extraordinary heroism and self-sacrifice. Exactly 225 years ago, on September 25, 1799, one of the most dramatic moments of the “Swiss campaign” unfolded – the victory of the Russian forces over the French at the "Devil’s bridge" in Switzerland’s Schöllenen Gorge.
🪶 Following the battle, Field Marshal General Alexander Suvorov reported to Russian Emperor Paul I:
☦️ In September 1898, at the site of this famous battle, a memorial was erected by the reconstructed "Devil’s bridge" in honor of Suvorov’s fallen comrades – a 12-meter cross carved into the mountain.
💐 Yesterday, despite restrictions from Swiss authorities, a solemn wreath-laying ceremony was held at the "Suvorov Cross" organized by the Russian Embassy in Bern with the support of the Belarusian Embassy in Bern. The event was also attended by Alexander Letoshnev, Deputy Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Office in Geneva.
🤝 After the memorial service and the official part of the ceremony, Russian compatriots and Swiss friends, bikers from the "Night Wolves" and "Night Valkyries", as well as representatives of the Swiss association "Freiheitstrychler" were able to lay flowers at the monument and pay tribute to the heroism of Russian soldiers.

🪶 Following the battle, Field Marshal General Alexander Suvorov reported to Russian Emperor Paul I:
“The troops of Your Imperial Majesty passed through a dark mountain cave and seized the bridge, miraculously formed by nature between two mountains and named "Teufelsbrücke". The enemy had destroyed it, but this did not stop the victors. The planks were tied together with officers' sashes, and across these planks they ran, descending from the heights, reaching the enemy and striking them from every direction...”
