➡️ Как мы неоднократно заявляли уже в ходе нынешней сессии, для нас неприемлемо повторение опыта работы КР 2025 г. Мало того, что в прошлом году государствам-членам так и не удалось согласовать итоговые доклады вспомогательных органов (ВО), их деятельность, по сути, оказалась не просто безрезультатной, а контрпродуктивной, поскольку делегации не смогли сблизить позиции по большинству наиболее острых вопросов повестки дня Конференции, наоборот – все существующие на тот момент противоречия лишь обострились.
➡️ Если одна группа государств проявляет абсолютную незаинтересованность в возобновлении содержательной работы форума, то есть многие другие делегации, которые в такой работе заинтересованы, которые готовы работать на совесть для выхода из многолетнего тупика и способствовать выполнению Конференцией ее переговорного мандата.
➡️ Считаем абсолютно контрпродуктивным принимать решение о воссоздании вспомогательных органов, которое бы один в один повторяло решение прошлого года (CD/2443).
➡️ Если бы страны-члены КР в 2025 г. заранее решили, что действовавший тогда третий вспомогательный орган продолжит рассмотрение элементов юридически обязывающего инструмента по предотвращению гонки вооружений в космическом пространстве – что полностью соответствует мандату КР, то нам удалось бы избежать ненужной, непрофильной, а зачастую и политизированной дискуссии в данном ВО о соотношении норм «мягкого» и «твердого» права, продвижении рядом государств-членов неконсенсусной концепции «ответственного поведения» в космосе.
➡️ Выражаем сожаление и разочарование позицией государств западной группы в связи с тем, что они попросту заблокировали дискуссию по данному вопросу и, по сути, отказались рассматривать предложенные нами и председательством опции.
➡️ Воссоздание вспомогательных органов – не самоцель. Давайте будем честными, эти структуры не имели никакой добавленной стоимости в 2025 году. Наоборот, КР лишь дальше отдалилась от выполнения ее переговорного мандата. Мы не из тех, кто создает видимость работы, прячется от критики международной общественности за ширмой нетранспарентных ВО, отвергая любые конструктивные идеи, направленные на исправление ошибочных правил игры, доказавших свою неэффективность.

➡️ As we have stated repeatedly during this session, a repetition of the experience of the work of the CD in 2025 is unacceptable to us. Not only did Member States fail to agree on the final reports of the subsidiary bodies (SB) last year, but their activities were, in essence, not just fruitless, but counterproductive. Delegations failed to bridge their positions on the majority of the most pressing issues on the Conference agenda. On the contrary, all existing contradictions were only exacerbated.
➡️ While one group of states shows an absolute lack of interest in resuming the substantive work of the forum, there are many other delegations that are interested in such work and are ready to work conscientiously to break the years-long deadlock and facilitate the fulfillment of the Conference's negotiating mandate.
➡️ We consider it absolutely counterproductive to adopt a decision on the re-establishment of subsidiary bodies that would mirror last year's decision (CD/2443).
➡️ If the CD Member States in 2025 had decided in advance that the third subsidiary body would continue considering elements of a legally binding instrument on the prevention of an arms race in outer space (PAROS) — which fully corresponds to the CD mandate — we would have avoided the unnecessary, irrelevant, and often politicized discussion in that SB regarding the relationship between "soft" and "hard" law and the promotion of the non-consensual concept of "responsible behavior" in outer space by several Member States.
➡️ We express regret and disappointment with the position of the Western Group States, as they simply blocked the discussion on this issue and essentially refused to consider the options proposed by us and the Presidency.
➡️ The re-establishment of subsidiary bodies is not an end in itself. Let us be honest: these structures provided no added value in 2025. On the contrary, the CD only moved further away from fulfilling its negotiating mandate. We are not among those who create the appearance of work or hide from the criticism of the international public behind a screen of non-transparent SBs while rejecting any constructive ideas aimed at correcting flawed rules of the game that have proven ineffective.

#HistoryOfDiplomacy
🗓 On February 4, 1945, the Yalta Conference of the Leaders of the anti-Hitler coalition — Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, and Franklin D. Roosevelt — officially commenced.
The #YaltaConference stands as one of the most significant summits of the 'Big Three' Leaders during #WW2. The landmark talks in Yalta came to symbolise the successful cooperation of Moscow, Washington, and London in their common fight against the terrible evil the mankind had ever faced — the Nazi ideology.
The historic agreements reached at the Forum defined the foundations of the post-war Yalta-Potsdam system of international relations, whose legal basis would be the #UNCharter.
💬 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:
***
🌟 By early 1945, the Red Army had fully liberated the Soviet Union from the Nazi invaders and was mounting a decisive offensive: by January, the Nazi troops had been expelled from Warsaw, Krakow, Lodz, and most of Poland. The Soviet forces had secured strategically important bridgehead on the western bank of the Oder river and were preparing for the final battle of #WWII — the fight for the Reich’s capital — Berlin.
As the Red Army advanced rapidly from the Vistula-Oder direction, UK-American units were pushing towards the Rhine river. Despite fierce resistance from elite units of the Nazi war machine, Germany’s defeat was inevitable.
With the common Victory approaching, the discussing issues the post-war world order became a top priority for the Allied Powers. Thus, it was decided to convene a major conference, with the Soviet city of Yalta chosen as the venue (February 4-11, 1945).
A central focus of the #CrimeanConference was the post-war future of the defeated Germany. The Allies reaffirmed their commitment to the eradication of German militarism and Nazism and to ensuring that “Germany will never again be able to disturb the peace of the world.” It was also agreed that Germany would be obliged to pay reparations for the damage inflicted by its aggression.
During the Yalta negotiations, the 'Big Three' Leaders reached a compromise on the issue of Poland’s borders. The Soviet delegation firmly advocated for Poland’s fundamental interests, upholding its right to independence and sovereignty.
Churchill later described the Soviet Union’s historic role in liberating Poland from Nazism in his memoirs:
The considerable growth in the USSR’s international prestige significantly influenced the course and outcomes of the Yalta negotiations. This was due, in large part, to the Red Army’s remarkable successes on the battlefield.
The image of the Soviet soldier as a Liberator was cemented, and the world recognised Soviet people's immense Sacrifice and Achievement in WWII
The Conference produced several crucial documents, including the Declaration on Liberated Europe, which helped shape the international system for decades. The framework for the future #UnitedNations also took clearer form. Following Yalta, the Soviet Union secured agreement on the “principle of unanimity” among the five permanent UN Security Council members, embodied in the right of veto — #UNCharterIsOurRules.
The Yalta agreements strengthened the unity of the anti-Hitler coalition in the final stages of World War II and contributed to the ultimate common victory over Germany. In the post-war years, ensuring the implementation of the Yalta decisions became a key objective of Soviet diplomacy.

🔺Ситуация с правами человека в Прибалтике продолжает вызывать нашу серьёзную обеспокоенность. Усиливается давление на правозащитников, журналистов и активистов, которые говорят о дискриминации русскоязычного населения.
🔺В конце января Рижский районный суд приговорил к 10 годам лишения свободы видного русскоязычного учёного, публициста и правозащитника А.В.Гапоненко, честно говорящего об имеющихся у Латвии проблемах в области поощрения и защиты прав человека. Расцениваем этот вердикт в качестве акта мести А.В.Гапоненко за его принципиальную позицию. Цель подобной варварской расправы – продемонстрировать решительный настрой латвийских властей на борьбу с любой точкой зрения, которая идет вразрез с официальной линией Риги.
🔺Со своей стороны незамедлительно направил соответствующие письма в адрес Верховного комиссара ООН по правам человека Ф.Тюрка и возглавляемого им Управления (УВКПЧ), а также в ряд профильных спецпроцедур, в которых акцентировал, что этот политически мотивированный приговор является еще одним вопиющим свидетельством дискриминационной политики латвийских властей в отношении русского и русскоязычного населения, которая проводится на государственном уровне в Латвии на протяжении многих лет.
🔺Призвал ооновских правозащитников дать справедливую и беспристрастную оценку репрессиям латвийских властей против А.В.Гапоненко. Российская сторона продолжит публично привлекать внимание к теме с ситуацией с правами человека в Прибалтике и добиваться освобождения политических заключённых, томящихся в тюрьмах Латвии, Литвы и Эстонии.

🔺The human rights situation in the Baltic States remains a burning concern to us. Pressure is increasing on human rights defenders, journalists and activists who speak out about discrimination against Russian-speaking people.
🔺At the end of January, the Riga District Court sentenced prominent Russian-speaking scholar, publicist, and human rights activist Alexander Gaponenko to 10 years in prison for speaking frankly about Latvia's existing problems in the field of promotion and protection of human rights. We regard this verdict as an act of revenge against Alexander Gaponenko for his principled stance. The purpose of such a barbaric reprisal is to demonstrate the Latvian authorities' determination to suppress any viewpoint that contradicts Riga’s official line.
🔺For my part, I immediately sent official letters to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mr. Volker Türk and his Office (OHCHR), as well as to several relevant special procedures, emphasizing that this politically motivated verdict represents yet another flagrant testimony to the Latvian authorities' discriminatory policy against Russian and Russian-speaking population that has been pursued at the state level in Latvia for years.
🔺I called on UN human rights defenders to give a fair and impartial assessment of the Latvian Government's reprisals against Alexander Gaponenko. The Russian side will continue to publicly draw attention to the human rights situation in the Baltic States as well as advocate for the release of political prisoners languishing in Latvian, Lithuanian, and Estonian prisons.

🌐 Ahead of Russia's Diplomatic Workers’ Day, a new section dedicated to the history of Russian diplomacy has been launched on the MFA Russia website.
Russia's Foreign Ministry continues its efforts to preserve the memory and legacy of the heads of Russia’s foreign service.
The in-depth historical overview covers the key milestones and guiding principles that have shaped – and continue to shape – Russian foreign policy, as well as historical figures who guided its evolution. This is not merely a history of negotiations, but a reflection of Russia’s millennia-long path as an independent and distinct civilization
By preserving its traditions, Russia’s diplomatic service consistently explains Russia’s stance on the international stage, counters the West’s aggressive campaign and contributes to forming an objective picture of the world.
The publication of such materials holds a special importance today, when the countries of the so-called “collective West” are using every possible means to downplay the contribution of Russian diplomats to the geopolitical transformation of the world. Achievements are rewritten, outcomes and key facts distorted – all for short-term gain.
❗️ We proudly remember our history. And we will continue to stand up for the truth.
👉 We invite everyone to explore the history of Russian diplomacy in greater detail.

⚡️ Comment by Aide to the President Yury Ushakov following President Vladimir Putin’s videoconference with President of China Xi Jinping (February 4, 2026)
Read in full
💬 Yury Ushakov: Friends, I would like to brief you on the substantive negotiations between President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping, held via videoconference. <...>
The Leaders, in a friendly and trusting manner, summarised the outcomes of the past year and thoroughly discussed plans for the development of Russia-China relations in the current year. <...>
Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping agreed that it is necessary to maintain permanent bilateral consultation mechanisms across all channels – the security councils, foreign ministries, and defence agencies – to complement their personal communication. This pertains to the swift alignment and coordination of approaches on current matters, including sensitive ones, to ensure timely responses to emerging challenges and threats. <...>
Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping once again noted that the comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation between our two countries are at an unprecedented level, are based on equality and mutual benefit, are not directed against any third parties, and are not subject to short-term political considerations. <...>
📄 On July 16, Russia and China will mark an important date: the 25th anniversary of the Treaty of Good-Neighbourliness and Friendly Cooperation between the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China. This foundational document for international relations, which remains fully relevant and in tune with the spirit of the times, has been automatically extended for a further five-year period.
During the conversation, President Xi Jinping invited Vladimir Putin to pay an official visit to China in the first half of this year. The invitation was accepted with gratitude, and the dates and details will be agreed separately.
The Chinese Leader also invited the President of Russia to take part in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ Meeting, to be held in November in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen. Russia supports the work of China’s APEC chairmanship, and our President will, of course, be ready to attend the meeting in Shenzhen. <...>
📈 The Leaders paid considerable attention to trade and economic cooperation. It was also mentioned that despite a minor decline due to a number of objective and subjective factors, bilateral trade has been considerably above $200 billion for three years in a row. It is common knowledge that China remains our leading foreign trade partner. <...>
Regarding foreign policy issues, the President of Russia and the President of China emphasised the importance of Russian-Chinese cooperation at multilateral platforms, such as the #UN, the #SCO, #BRICS, #APEC and #G20.
The Sides reaffirmed the common course for creating a just multilateral world order based on international law.
Overall, Moscow and Beijing have been working in coordination with each other on the international stage. It was pointed out that the sides’ positions on the overwhelming majority of international issues are similar or fully coincide. Of course, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping also exchanged views on their countries’ relations with the US. Their approaches almost fully coincide, which is evident from their attitude to the US President’s initiative for creating the Board of Peace.
Regarding the contacts our countries had with the Donald Trump administration — the Leaders believe that there is a window of opportunity in this regard. In particular, the President of China voiced his support for the ongoing talks in Abu Dhabi within the trilateral working group on security matters. <...>
☝️Cooperation between Moscow and Beijing operates as a powerful, constructive and stabilising factor in the world, while the Russia-China nexus effectively enhances global security, and benefits the Global Majority, as well as the people of both Russia and China.

⚡️ Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Concerning the Expiration of the Russia-US New START Treaty (February 4, 2026)
On February 5, 2026, the life cycle of the Russian-US Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (#NewSTART) comes to an end; it was signed by the Parties on April 8, 2010, entered into force on February 5, 2011, and was extended for a five-year period in February 2021 on the basis of a relevant one-time option provided for in this agreement.
In February 2023, the Russian Federation suspended the New START Treaty against the backdrop of the unsatisfactory state of affairs with the implementation of certain aspects of the Treaty, as well as due to the absolutely unacceptable steps by the United States running counter to the fundamental principles and understandings of the agreement enshrined in its preamble.
It was a compelled measure and an inevitable response of the Russian Side to the extremely hostile policy of the Biden administration which resulted in the fundamental change in the security situation, as well as to a number of illegitimate steps taken by Washington in the context of specific provisions of the New START Treaty, which together constituted a material breach incompatible with the Treaty being further implemented in a full-fledged manner.
Among the key negative factors, it is worth to highlight the destabilizing actions of the United States in the field of missile defense, contrary to the inseparable interrelationship between strategic offensive and strategic defensive arms enshrined in the New START Treaty. <...>
Despite some obvious problematic moments, basically the New START Treaty used to fulfill its key functions. The conclusion of the Treaty and the years of its initially successful implementation helped to discourage the strategic arms race, allowing for significant reductions in the parties' arsenals. At the same time, due to the restrictions applied in this area a sufficient level of predictability was ensured on a long-term basis. <...>
In parallel to suspending this agreement, the Russian Federation announced the intention to voluntarily maintain its commitment to the central quantitative limits on weapons regulated by the New START until the end of the Treaty's life cycle in February 2026. At that time, the United States followed suit, announcing its readiness to act in a similar manner.
Striving to extend the positive effect of such reciprocal measures in terms of maintaining balance and certainty in the field of strategic offensive arms during the current turbulent period, our country took an additional constructive step. On September 22, 2025, the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin publicly proposed that the Parties to the New START Treaty commit to voluntary self-limitations to keep the quantitative ceilings on the relevant weapons specified in the Treaty for at least one year after the termination of the agreement.
However, no formal official response from the United States with regard to the Russian initiative has been received through bilateral channels. <...> It means that our ideas have been deliberately left unanswered. <...>
In the current circumstances, we assume that the Parties to the New START are no longer bound by any obligations or symmetrical declarations in the context of the Treaty, including its core provisions, and are in principle free to choose their next steps. <...>
🇷🇺 The Russian Federation remains ready to take decisive military-technical measures to counter potential additional threats to the national security. At the same time, our country remains open to seeking politico-diplomatic ways to comprehensively stabilize the strategic situation on the basis of equal and mutually beneficial dialogue solutions, if the appropriate conditions for such cooperation are shaped.

💬 Ответ: В ходе сессии Конференции по разоружению (КР) контакты с делегацией США имеют место, хотя носят спорадический и исключительно рабочий характер. В основном это краткие обмены мнениями «на ногах» до или после заседаний КР.
🔹Что касается ДСНВ, эта тема не является предметом обсуждений с американцами на Конференции. В любом случае, даже если бы сейчас речь шла о каких-либо консультациях о судьбе ДСНВ, то они бы не были привязаны к площадке КР, поскольку это двусторонний, а не многосторонний Договор.
🔹Сигналов от «местных» американцев по ДСНВ мы не получали. В ходе выступления на первом пленарном заседании КР 2026 г. США лишь вскользь упомянули сам факт скорого истечения срока действия данного инструмента. Официальной реакции на предложение Президента Российской Федерации В.В.Путина о соблюдении количественных потолков по ДСНВ после 5 февраля 2026 г. до сих пор не поступало. Все, что мы имеем, – публичные комментарии Президента США Д.Трампа относительно судьбы Договора: «Истечет, так истечет. Мы просто заключим соглашение получше».
❓Вопрос: Одной из ключевых тем на Конференции по разоружению остается предотвращение гонки вооружений в космосе. Есть ли прогресс в разработке юридически обязывающего документа в этой сфере? Несет ли американский проект «Золотой купол» риски для стратегической стабильности в долгосрочной перспективе?
💬 Ответ: Проблематика предотвращения гонки вооружений в космосе (ПГВК), действительно, становится все более актуальной. В последние годы многие государства Запада, следуя примеру США, не только приняли нормативные документы, где космос определен как «еще одна операционная среда» для ведения боевых действий, но и осуществляют практические шаги для реализации такой установки. Неудивительно, что эти же страны на протяжении десятилетия блокируют начало на КР переговоров по юридически обязывающему инструменту по ПГВК, который запрещал бы вывод оружия в космос, а также применение силы с помощью космических объектов или против них.
🔹Что касается проекта «Золотой купол для Америки», то он, разумеется, лишь усугубляет ситуацию. Действия Вашингтона подвергают серьезным рискам долгосрочную устойчивость мирной космической деятельности, чреваты резкой дестабилизацией обстановки и гонкой вооружений в космическом пространстве. По сути, они подрывают принципы, заложенные в Договоре по космосу 1967 г., согласно которому исследование и использование космического пространства осуществляется исключительно в мирных целях.
🔹Более того, упомянутый проект, действительно, способен иметь самые серьезные негативные последствия для стратстабильности на перспективу. Он не только включает в себя вывод средств перехвата в космос, но и предусматривает, что действия США в сфере ПРО направлены, прежде всего, против стратегических ракет «равных и сопоставимых противников». Таким образом Вашингтоном было официально признано то, что в предыдущие десятилетия им отрицалось. А именно: конечная цель США – ослабить и по возможности нейтрализовать потенциалы стратегического сдерживания других ядерных держав, воспринимаемых в качестве противников (читай: России и Китая).
🔹Мы, в свою очередь, вынуждены принимать меры по восстановлению стратегического баланса, включая перевод в завершающую стадию разработки гарантирующих надежность сдерживания систем, таких как «Буревестник». Защищает свои коренные интересы также Китай. Как следствие, одним из последствий реализации проекта «Золотой купол» может стать гонка ядерных и обычных вооружений, дальнейший рост конфликтного потенциала, увеличение риска просчетов и недопониманий, усугубление противоречий и затруднение международного диалога по любым аспектам разоруженческой проблематики.

⚡️ Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Western elites against the backdrop of the Epstein Files scandal - Excerpt from an upcoming interview with RT
FM Sergey Lavrov: The Deep State, hidden funds, closed groups etc. ... they are said to be able to decide the fates of the world. I don't quite believe in that.
People who are elected PMs, Presidents, they have enough leverage to pursue their own course. And if they choose to pursue a course that is all about deceiving — that is their conscious choice. That's a fact. There are plenty of people like that. This mentality is showing visibly in the European arena. And they haven't made any conclusions, haven't taken any lessons [from their mistakes].
👉 Full interview by RT's Rick Sanchez with Sergey Lavrov to be released later today, at 17:30 MSK. Stay tuned!

❓: Does Russian side have any contacts with the American delegation on the sidelines of the Conference on Disarmament, or are there any plans to do so? Is the New START issue a priority for discussion? What signals are coming from the American side?
💬: During the Conference on Disarmament (CD) session, contacts with the US delegation do take place, although they are sporadic and purely working in nature. These contacts are mainly brief exchanges of views "on the spot" before or after CD meetings.
🔹As for the New START Treaty, this topic is not a subject of discussion with the Americans at the Conference. In any case, even if there were any consultations on the future of the New START Treaty, they would not be tied to the CD, as it is a bilateral Treaty, not multilateral.
🔹We have not received any signals from the "local" Americans regarding the New START Treaty. During its speech at the first plenary meeting of the Conference on Disarmament 2026, the United States only briefly mentioned the imminent expiration of this instrument. There has been no official response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's proposal to maintain quantitative limits under the New START Treaty after February 5, 2026. All we have are US President Donald Trump's public comments regarding the Treaty's fate: "If it expires, so be it. We'll just do a better agreement"
❓: One of the key topics at the Conference on Disarmament remains the prevention of an arms race in outer space. Has there been progress in developing a legally binding instrument in this area? Does the American "Golden Dome" project pose risks to long-term strategic stability?
💬 : The issue of preventing an arms race in outer space (PAROS) is becoming increasingly pressing indeed. In recent years, many Western countries, following the US example, have not only adopted regulations defining space as "another operational environment" for military operations but also taken practical steps to implement this vision. It's no surprise that it is these states that have been blocking for a decade the start of negotiations at the CD on a legally binding PAROS instrument that would prohibit the placement of weapons in space, as well as the use of force against or via space objects.
🔹As for the "Golden Dome for America" project, it, only exacerbates the situation, of course. Washington's actions pose serious risks to the long-term sustainability of peaceful space activities and are fraught with the risk of severe destabilization and an arms race in outer space. In essence, they undermine the principles enshrined in the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which stipulates that the exploration and use of outer space shall be carried out exclusively for peaceful purposes.
🔹Furthermore, this project could indeed have the most serious negative consequences for long-term strategic stability. Not only does it include the deployment of interceptors in space, but it also stipulates that US missile defense actions are directed primarily against the strategic missiles of "equal and comparable adversaries." Washington has thus officially acknowledged what it had denied in previous decades. Specifically, the US's ultimate goal is to weaken and, if possible, neutralize the strategic deterrent capabilities of other nuclear powers perceived as adversaries (read, Russia and China).
🔹We, in turn, have to take measures to restore the strategic balance, including bringing to the final stage of development systems designed to ensure reliable deterrence, such as Burevestnik. China is also protecting its core interests. As a result, one of the consequences of the “Golden Dome” project could be a nuclear and conventional arms race, a further increase in conflict potential, an increased risk of miscalculation and misunderstanding, an exacerbation of contradictions, and the hampering of international dialogue on any aspect of disarmament.

Ключевые тезисы:
#Европа #ЕС #Германия
• За последние полтора месяца многие европейские политики говорили на тему отношений с Российской Федерацией. До недавнего времени они исключительно в унисон требовали быть твёрдыми, не ослаблять поддержку и поставки оружия на Украину, финансировать её для того, чтобы Россия потерпела «стратегическое поражение» на поле боя.
• Недавно Канцлер ФРГ Мерц сказал что-то вроде того, что Россия – это самая большая страна Европы. Хотелось бы сразу поправить. Россия – самая большая страна в Евразии (а не в Европе) и в мире. Нас в данном случае интересует Евразия как континент.
• Американцы не хотели и не хотят оставлять европейцев одних. Они хотят, чтобы европейцы сами оплачивали все свои военные приготовления, покупали оружие в США. Но терять контроль, «пригляд» за своими натовскими союзниками из Европы США, конечно же, не хотят.
• Когда параллельно с ослаблением евроатлантических структур (ЕС тоже стал придатком НАТО, они даже документы подписали) голову стала поднимать Германия, то это начало вызывать тревогу не только у нас, но и во многих странах Европейского Союза. Там нарастает фронда и желание не позволить Германии в очередной раз подмять под себя всех остальных, тем более, что это «возрождение ФРГ» открыто увязывается Мерцем и его правительством с её милитаризацией, подготовкой к войне.
• У нас есть контакты с некоторыми европейскими лидерами. Они звонят и просят не объявлять об этих разговорах. Некоторые появляются здесь и «подпольно» контактируют.
• Не вижу у Европы какой-либо позиции. Они попали в собственную ловушку. Заняли бескомпромиссную позицию: «стратегическое поражение России», «Украина не может проиграть, а Россия не может победить, иначе Европа потеряет лицо».
#НАТО
• Мы совершенно точно «обожглись» на нашем доверии к людям, которые клялись, что не будет расширения НАТО на Восток, ущемления России, что у нас будет общее пространство от Лиссабона до Владивостока, и весь этот огромный континент будет континентом мира, безопасности.
• НАТО сначала потеряла смысл существования, затем обрела его в Афганистане. Потом когда в Афганистане этот смысл был публично, прилюдно, на глазах у всего мирового сообщества растоптан, нужно было что-то делать. Они тогда сконцентрировались, собрались и придумали то, что происходит сейчас, и что мы сейчас наблюдаем. Дескать, Россия должна стать «изгоем», и для того, чтобы её спровоцировать, Украина была «оптимальным материалом», из которого можно было «лепить» что угодно.
#Украина
• Весь последний год Запад (Европа) говорил только одно – нужны надёжные гарантии безопасности и немедленное прекращение огня. Но без решения вопросов об урегулировании, эти гарантии безопасности будут означать, что прекращение огня будет использовано для накачивания Украины оружием. Эту логику они не услышали и никак не отреагировали.
• Какую Украину мы готовы видеть в качестве соседа на долгие, вечные времена. Это должна быть дружественная Украина. Не обязательно союзная нам, но нейтральная и доброжелательная. И это, конечно, предполагает уважение не только прав жителей той территории, которая будет оставаться за Украиной, не только уважение их прав в отношении доступа к благам цивилизации, к теплу, к еде, к воде, но и отношение к их, если хотите, базовым правам человека, включая язык, образование и религию.
• Этот человек [Зеленский] ни стыда, ни совести не имеет и не думает абсолютно ни о чём, кроме своего выживания. Для этого ему нужно обязательно какие-то «скетчи» ставить на международной сцене, которую он как сцену и рассматривает.
• В Анкоридже мы приняли предложение администрации Президента Д.Трампа по Украине. И если так всё «по-мужски», то это должно было означать, что мы Украину «убрали в сторону» с нашей светлой «столбовой дороги» к будущему сотрудничеству и процветанию.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at Russia's Perm Krai presentation (Moscow, February 5, 2026)
💬 I am pleased to welcome everyone to the presentation of the Perm Krai, the first presentation of a Russian region this year.
The Perm Krai is an industrially advanced and distinctive region with strong economic, investment and tourism potential, a fascinating history and culture, and diverse natural resources. <…>
The Kama Region carries on glorious arms-making traditions of its ancestors. New types of weapons are developed here, and critical equipment and materiel for the country’s defence complex, including for the special military operation, are produced. Russia can take pride in the fact that Perm designers are creating and refining modern domestic aircraft engines using the most advanced technologies in the process.
Thanks to the support provided by the regional government and the provision of tax breaks, the IT sector is making wide strides. More than 1,500 IT companies operate successfully in the region, playing an important role in the digital transformation of the Russian economy and public administration.
The region boasts rich mineral reserves, including oil and gas, mineral salts and coal, as well as gold and diamonds. More than 1,500 deposits of 53 types of mineral resources have been explored. Chemical enterprises in the region account for 97 percent of Russia’s total output of potassium fertiliser and are major taxpayers, including owing to exports revenue.
☝️ The Kama Region is effectively developing foreign economic and international ties. We endeavour to support our friends in this regard. Today, the region’s trading partners include 124 countries. The Perm Territory is implementing major projects with a total investment amounting to around 630 billion roubles. The regional leadership and the Governor are committed to expanding contacts with friendly countries. <…>
The region boasts major scientific and educational potential and uses it to export Russia’s higher education. More than 5,500 foreign students from 60 countries study at 17 higher learning institutions in the region. The most sought-after specialisations include biotechnology, pharmacology, chemistry, and mechanical engineering. Perm universities are actively engaged internationally and are maintaining ties with their partners from China and the countries of Central Asia and Africa.
With the support of the All-Russian political party United Russia, international public and political hearings were held in Perm in May 2025 to support President Putin’s initiative to form a Eurasian architecture of equal and indivisible security. The event, in which I had the pleasure of taking part, brought together over 300 foreign participants, including parliamentarians and representatives of leading political parties and business and expert circles from over 30 countries. <…>
The Western Urals region is renowned for its geographical and natural diversity. Perm and the surrounding territories are popular with the Russian and foreign tourists. <…>
A large number of cultural and public events are held in the Kama Region, and the festival movement is making strides as well. I would especially note the internationally renowned Perm Ballet and the Diaghilev Festival, which each year becomes a focal point for cultural figures from around the world. In 2025, Perm was designated as Russia’s Youth Capital. This means that the city is looking to the future in every sense, providing comprehensive assistance and support to young people and families.
🤝 Once again, I would like to confirm that our Ministry takes great pleasure in providing, and will continue to provide, support for all these initiatives. This kind of regional contributions form the material foundation of our diplomatic activity.
