📅 On December 26, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov chaired the seventh session of the United Russia General Council Commission on International Cooperation and Support for Compatriots Abroad in the building of the Central Executive Committee of the Russian political party United Russia.
In his speech, the Minister focused on the key goals of Russian foreign policy, including ensuring national interests, strengthening national sovereignty and consolidating Russia’s leading positions in the international arena.
The participants summed up the performance of United Russia in the international sphere during 2023 and discussed current issues of deepening cooperation, including party interaction, in #BRICS under Russia’s chairmanship of the association in 2024.
They noted the importance of steps to form a broad anti-neocolonial coalition to counter the attempts of the collective West to dominate and impose its rules on the World Majority, in part, in the context of the upcoming United Russia-initiated forum in Moscow, bringing together supporters of the struggle against modern neocolonialist practices under the slogan “For the freedom of Nations.”

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova
💬 What do a racist, a colonialist and a Western neoliberal have in common?
I'll tell you using examples from the Anglo-Saxon world.
Here's Joe Biden speaking from the podium about the importance of engaging with the indigenous peoples of the US, Native Americans.
Only Indians in the US still live on reservations, and some communities, about half of them, don't even have their own reservations: of 574 tribes, only 326 live on reservations. The rest continue to fight for their rights, but, of course, to no avail. Biden himself recognises this, “Indigenous communities still live in the shadows of the failed policies of the past.” He stated this at the recent Tribal Nations Summit. However, discrimination against Native Americans continues within the reservations as well and tribal people get lower wages, are not hired for government jobs, and crime is on the rise.
Now, with regard to Australia, the unthinkable is happening there in this department: the authorities continue to take children away from the Aborigines even in the 21st century. This absolutely genocidal practice – where children are taken away not only from their families, but also from their traditional culture – has become an everyday occurrence in Anglo-Saxon Australia. The issue is about targeted and purposeful destruction of the mechanism for passing along cultural heritage from generation to generation. Local residents are suing the authorities, because their children have been kidnapped, but most likely the lawsuit is a non-starter. The judges will not assume this kind of responsibility with the potential political implications. Both the International Criminal Court (ICC), which is only paying lip service to children's issues, and London, with whose consent all this is happening, remain silent and approve of such practices.
Let’s spend a moment discussing Canada, a country that is notorious for its closed boarding schools for indigenous children. There is a spike in ultra-violence against representatives of non-titular ethnicities. And it's not just Native Americans and Jews, the number of attacks against whom has increased significantly since the flare-up in the Middle East.
They had better address their own deep-running issues before telling others what to do.

#Ukraine
• Fewer people are willing to take up arms and fight for the Ukrainian government, rotten as it is by pervasive corruption and nationalism. Over the past year, conscription stations sent about 40,000 people into the army, failing to offset the casualties suffered by the Ukrainian Armed Forces during their so-called counteroffensive.
To achieve the required result, Ukraine decided to amend its laws by de facto designating a substantial part of its population as slaves and depriving them of any rights. They are getting ready to hunt down those who fall within the conscription age range as part of the mobilisation effort, and plan to force Ukrainian men who fled abroad to escape the war to come back in order to mobilise them into the army.
Illegitimate EU#Sanctions
• The introduction of even limited sanctions on Russian aluminium will inevitably raise prices, put hundreds of companies in the EU at risk of being shut down, and will have a negative impact on the industrial potential of the EU and the implementation of measures towards the green economy. <...>
It is clear whose interests Brussels is serving. First, it acts against its own citizens and EU residents. Second, it serves the monopolists whose companies or interests are directly related to Washington and London.

🎙Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with RIA Novosti and Rossiya 24 TV on current foreign policy issues
📍Moscow, December 28, 2023
• Because of this hybrid war by the entire collective West, which was unleashed by the hands, bodies and other parts of Ukrainian society against us with the use of modern Western weapons, Russia has become much stronger during this year. The unity of our people has increased substantially.
• The overwhelming majority of states, the World Majority, have not joined the sanctions but cannot raise their voice high enough during debates for the time being. However, they are coming to realise that this could happen to anyone, and that any country could become a target for sanctions by the US, Europe or any US ally.
• More and more countries are telling us that they are with us. They understand that the lengthy process of forming a multipolar world has begun. They will help us by action but will have to occasionally trot out fake excuses (excuse the rude expression) to avoid being given a hard time. This is a serious trend.
• With the special military operation underway and our ongoing confrontation with the West, including on the economic and sanctions front, the objective substantiation of our actions takes on special importance.
• In the context of the emphasis on the Global Majority, on the countries that are ready to work with us in a fair, mutually beneficial and mutually respectful manner, including in the economy, politics, and security, our chairmanships, two of them, coming next year, are of central importance. One is in the #CIS and the other in #BRICS.
• Maybe, the West is even thinking about “specifying its strategy” because if “Russia’s strategic defeat” is a strategy (excuse my tautology please), it has failed miserably. <...> It is clear what they want to achieve – to leave as soon as possible from this grievous position, one that Europe was driven into primarily by Washington.

📰 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with TASS news agency (December 28, 2023)
Key talking points:
🔹 It is time everyone drew a lesson from the consequences of US attempts to play at behind-the-curtain diplomacy in the Middle East. It was Washington’s policy of monopolising mediation and undermining the international legal framework for a settlement that resulted in the current escalation in the conflict zone.
🔹 Neither Washington, nor Brussels refrain from assisting the Kiev regime because they realise that it would be doomed without such assistance. They remain committed to containing Russia at the expense of Ukrainians and their lives.
🔹 Americans placed their bets on force in an attempt to slow down the erosion of their hegemony. This is why they have been seeking to secure their military supremacy and have a free hand to use force. And this is how we can explain their refusal to accept any restrictions in terms of arms control.
🔹 It is obvious to us that the American proposals on launching nuclear arms control talks while keeping them separate from the negative military and political context and the dismal state of relations between Russia and the West are inadequate. We can see through what Washington is after: they want to mitigate nuclear risks to themselves while securing an advantage in terms of other military capabilities.
🔹 Armenia has been and remains our strategic partner in the South Caucasus. We are confident that all these difficulties are temporary and will be overcome with enough political will to do so. The sustainable and systematic expansion of Russian-Armenian ties meets the fundamental interests of the people in both states.
🔹 Most of our partners agree with us that sooner or later our Western colleagues will have to accept the realities of a multipolar world, and then all issues will be resolved based on a balance of interests.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement on yet another brutal attack on Russian civilians by the Kiev regime
❗️ The Kiev regime has once again revealed its inhuman Nazi essence by committing another cynical and horrific crime – an attack on residential areas in Belgorod using multiple launch rocket systems.
The premeditated and meticulously prepared shelling attack on the city centre resulted in the deaths of at least 14 people, including two children, and injured 100 civilians, 17 of whom were minors.
‼️ British and American consultants were directly involved in organising this terrorist attack, regularly inciting the Ukrainian authorities to commit brutal crimes. The countries of the European Union, which persistently and irresponsibly continue to supply the Ukrainian ruling clique with weapons, are also responsible for this.
It should be emphasised that the strike deliberately targeted places where civilians gather, particularly families with children. The enemy attacked pre-holiday attractions in downtown Belgorod, including the New Year's snow town, the Christmas tree and the ice rink, which were popular among the residents. The Ukrainian criminals used cluster munitions to maximise the number of victims in their terrorist attack.
The shelling of communities in Donbass, the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, Crimea, and other Russian regions, as well as the ruthless and indiscriminate killing of civilians, serve as evidence of the agony of Zelensky's neo-Nazi regime, which is immersed in terrorism, lawlessness, corruption, and cynicism. In their impotent rage, they seek to please their Western bosses by killing as many Russian people as possible.
☝️ All those responsible for orchestrating and carrying out this and other crimes by the Kiev junta will face inevitable punishment in accordance with the law.
The UN Security Council will also investigate the terrorist attack in Belgorod, specifically the use of cluster munitions, which are banned in most countries, by Ukrainian terrorists to target civilians, as well as the sources of these deadly weapons.
We urge all responsible governments and relevant international organisations to strongly condemn this brutal act of terrorism and publicly distance themselves from the Kiev regime and its Western handlers who commit such crimes.
⚠️ Silence in response to the unrestrained brutality displayed by Ukrainian Nazis and their puppeteers, as well as their accomplices from "civilised democracies," will be seen as aiding and abetting their heinous acts.

#RussiaUSA
Our readiness to restore a full-fledged dialogue with the United States should not be taken for granted. Russia-US relations have become strained to the maximum due to Washington’s strategic objective of inflicting a decisive blow on Russia. We will only be able to develop a formula for peaceful coexistence and cooperation in certain areas when Washington acknowledges our core national interests and engages in sincere negotiations.
#INF
If the United States does not take any extraordinary steps to exert pressure through other means, Russia will not be the first to deploy missiles that were previously prohibited under the INF Treaty.
However, judging by the preparations made by the Pentagon, practical actions by the Americans to deploy ground-launched intermediate and short-range missiles in different regions of the world should not take long. Therefore, the time when we will have to make necessary political decisions is fast approaching.
#MiddleEast
Russia consistently advocates for the initiation of Palestinian-Israeli talks. The lack of Palestinian unity remains one of the obstacles to this.
We also assist our Palestinian friends in finding a solution. We have provided them with a venue for holding meetings in Russia. We call for unification based on the platform of the Palestine Liberation Organisation.
#KievCrimes
The crimes of the Kiev regime are already under investigation. Russian law enforcement authorities are meticulously recording and documenting the atrocities committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis, which extend beyond the timeframe of the special military operation.
Based on the evidence gathered by the Investigative Committee, the courts of the Russian Federation have already sentenced over 200 members of Ukrainian armed groups to long prison terms for their crimes. The remaining criminals will face the same fate and will be held accountable.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the UN:
🎙Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing regarding the attacks against Belgorod (December 30, 2023)
💬 Let me ask where these people are today. Where are the representatives of EU member states, who come in packs and bunches to request to take the floor at meetings on Ukraine in order to read their tired propaganda on camera?
❓Where is the representative of the Czech Republic, whose missiles killed civilians in Belgorod?
❓ Where is the representative of Poland, who yesterday told us about the missile that flew into its territory, which 500 soldiers of the territorial defense troops of the Lublin province were looking for and could not find?
❓ Where is the representative of the European Union?
Make no illusions and drop the pretenses. Brussels, along with Washington and London, as well as the majority of EU countries, are complicit in the crimes committed by the Kiev clique.
Today members of the Security Council have a chance to do their duty and give an objective assessment of the terrorist attack of the Kiev regime against the peaceful Russian city of Belgorod.
👉 Let me stress that this was not some shards. The footage clearly showed a missile approaching. Here you can see the effect of this attack.
One of the targets was the Dynamo sports complex in Belgorod, where youth gymnastics classes were held at that moment. Another was a skating rink in Belgorod city center. In order to increase the number of victims of the terrorist attack, cluster munitions were used
So this was a deliberate indiscriminate combined strike against a peaceful city.
This shelling of the central part of the city has killed 18 people, including three children. 108 people have been wounded, 5 children and 12 adults are in critical condition (update as of morning December 31: 22 people killed, 109 people wounded).
☝️ All organizers and perpetrators of this and other crimes of the Kiev junta will be inevitably punished.

🎉Поздравление Посла России А.В.Келина с Новым 2024 годом
Дорогие друзья, соотечественники!
Это был непростой год для нас и нашей Родины. Наши недоброжелатели, поставили цель нанести нам стратегическое поражение и удержать ускользающее доминирование в мировых делах. Россия должным образом ответила на брошенные ей вызовы.
Сегодня ясно главное – Россия не только выдержала этот натиск, но становится сильнее и крепче. Мы показали миру нерушимое единство нашего народа, его готовность отстаивать свой суверенитет и право самостоятельно распоряжаться своей судьбой. Мощный импульс придан построению по-настоящему справедливого многополярного мира, в котором нет места, блоковым подходам и санкционному шантажу. На нашей стороне – подавляющее большинство стран земного шара.
В канун Нового года каждому из нас естественно задуматься о пройденном пути и достижениях, подводить итоги. Разумеется, надо подумать и о будущем. Хочу заверить, что в планах нашего посольства – продолжать делать все необходимое для наших соотечественников, разделяющих любовь к устоям, культуре и традициям нашей великой страны.
Важно, что, несмотря на сложнейшие внешние условия, консолидация российской общины в Великобритании продолжается. В истекающем году значительно возросла её общественная и культурно-гуманитарная деятельность. С большим успехом прошли творческие вечера, образовательные конференции, показы российских фильмов и другие мероприятия. Все они наглядно продемонстрировали ущербность деструктивных попыток «отменить Россию». Главное состоит в том, что мы встретили широкую поддержку в самых различных уголках Великобритании, где хорошо помнят о связях с Россией.
Мы вступаем в новый 2024 год. В нем будет многое. Одно из главных – предстоящие в марте выборы Президента Российской Федерации. Они станут для наших граждан возможностью продемонстрировать свою силу, зрелость и единство по ключевым вопросам судьбы нашей страны.
Уверен, что следующий год будет лучше того, который заканчивается. Россию не сломить. Победить нас невозможно.
Хотел бы пожелать вам и вашим близким крепкого здоровья, благополучия и счастья в Новом году!
С Новым годом!

🌐 Last year, the Russian diplomatic service pursued a foreign policy course determined by President Vladimir Putin in a situation of heightened confrontation with the collective West.
The main goals were to provide political and diplomatic support for the special military operation and to expand cooperation with countries and associations that make up the Global Majority.
👉 Main foreign policy results in 2023

🎙 New Year Address to the Nation by President Vladimir Putin
💬 We are bidding farewell to 2023.
The main thing which has united us is the destiny of the Motherland. There is a deep understanding of the utmost importance of the historic period which Russia is going through, those large-scale objectives which society is facing and the colossal responsibility for the Motherland which every one of us feels.
Work for the collective good has united society. We are united in our thoughts, tasks and in combat, whether at work or on days off, displaying the main traits of the Russian people – solidarity, mercy and firmness.
I would like to address our military personnel – everyone who is on duty, who is on the front lines fighting for truth and justice. You are our heroes. Our hearts are with you. We are proud of you and we admire your courage.
I am well aware that now you feel the love of those nearest and dearest to you, the powerful, sincere support of millions of Russian citizens, the support of the entire people.
We have proved over and over again that we are able to tackle the most difficult tasks and we will never back down as there is no force that can divide us, make us forget the memory and the faith of our fathers, or stop our development.
The upcoming year of 2024 has been declared the Year of the Family in our country. And a truly big family is definitely a family where children grow up, where parents are given attention, and treated with warm-heartedness and care, and where everyone loves and respects each other.
I would like to convey my very best wishes for the new year to all Russian families. After all, the history of our huge, wonderful and beloved Motherland is shaped by the history of each family. We – the multinational people of Russia – decide and create its fate.
We are one country, one big family. We will ensure the steady development of the Motherland, the well-being of our citizens, and we will become even stronger.
Happy New Year, friends! Happy 2024!

🎙 Address by Russia's President Vladimir Putin on the start of Russia's BRICS Chairmanship
💬 On January 1, Russia was passed the baton of the #BRICS chairmanship, an association which, according to the decision adopted by the 15th BRICS Summit in August 2022, now includes 10 countries.
Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates joined BRICS as new full members which is a strong indication of the growing authority of the association and its role in international affairs.
BRICS is attracting an ever increasing number of supporters and like-minded countries that share its underlying principles, namely, sovereign equality, respect for the chosen path of development, mutual consideration of interests, openness, consensus, the aspiration to form a multipolar international order and a fair global financial and trade system, and pursuit of collective solutions to top challenges of our time.
The Russian 2024 BRICS Chairmanship under the motto Strengthening Multilateralism for Equitable Global Development and Security will act precisely in this manner and focus on positive and constructive cooperation with all countries concerned.
🔸 We will spare no effort to <...> facilitate the harmonious integration of new participants in all formats of its activities.
🔸 We will start working on the modalities of a new category of BRICS partner country.
🔸 Russia will continue to promote all aspects of the BRICS partnership in three key areas: politics and security, economy and finance, and cultural and humanitarian contacts.
🔸 Our priorities include promoting cooperation in science, high technology, healthcare, environmental protection, culture, sports, youth exchanges, and civil society.
🔸 In total, over 200 events of different levels and types will be held in many Russian cities as part of the chairmanship.

🇷🇺 Russia assumes CIS chairmanship on January 1, 2024
The Concept for Russia’s chairmanship of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) in 2024 has been published.
Russia will chair the Commonwealth of Independent States under the Concept of the Further Development of the CIS, endorsed by a CIS Heads of State Council resolution on December 18, 2020; the Economic Development Strategy of the CIS for the Period up to 2030 adopted by a resolution of the CIS Heads of Government on May 29, 2020, and other CIS fundamental programme documents.
Russia’s chairmanship of the CIS will be aimed at ensuring the continuity of its activities and reaching a number of goals, in part,
👉 to continue strengthening the CIS as an integration association;
👉 increase its international status;
👉 enhancing the CIS’s role as a representative venue for multilateral political dialogue on a broad range of issues;
👉 deepening its economic integration with a view to creating a common economic space;
👉 upgrading the mechanisms for countering, through cooperation, traditional and new challenges and threats to the security of the CIS member-states;
👉 promoting cooperation in the military area and on border security; expanding cultural and humanitarian interaction;
👉 aligning CIS activities with other integration associations with a view to creating a Greater Eurasian Partnership that unites the potential of all states and organisations of the region; and improving the CIS’s contractual and legal foundation and cooperation institutions.
An meaningful part of Russia’s chairmanship will be a support for measures to counter the falsification of history and attempts to rehabilitate Nazism, and to preserve the historical memory of the Great Patriotic War, including the genocide of the Soviet peoples.
In this context, special attention will be paid to preparations for holding the Year of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War in the CIS in 2025 – the Year of Peace and Unity in the Fight against Nazism.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement on the Kiev regime’s latest terrorist attack on the Russian city of Donetsk
❌ Armed formations of Ukrainian neo-Nazis, with support of the Western countries, continue to carry out terrorist attacks against Russian civilians. It is clear that they have nothing human in them. Neither the New Year nor the Christmas holidays stop them.
On New Year’s Eve, the city centre and other residential areas of Donetsk, including civilian infrastructure, were subjected to a massive attack from multiple launch rocket systems. It is already known that there are four dead and more than fourteen injured. According to preliminary reports, the victim includes journalists who were doing their job in the city.
Russian law enforcement promptly opened an investigation into this crime.
❗️ All those involved and responsible for this and other terrorist attacks on the territory of Russia will inevitably face punishment.
A couple of days ago, Zelensky turned to Hitler’s rhetoric again and called Russians “human scum,” once again demonstrating that Ukraine, which is infected with Nazism that has molded into terrorism, must be completely denazified and demilitarised. This will certainly be done. The Kiev regime and its leaders, who worship the criminals of the Third Reich, will end up just like their idols, elevated to the rank of heroes there.
We call on all responsible governments and relevant international organisations to dissociate themselves from the actions and decisions of the Kiev junta, to condemn its crimes aimed at the ostentatious, cynical destruction of the civilian population. Silence is regarded by Ukrainian neo-Nazis as approval of their actions.
☝️ At the same time, the West must understand that the criminal regime it has nurtured and sponsored, which the Westerners support to attack Russia, will one day turn NATO weapons against NATO countries.

🎙 Excerpts from President Vladimir Putin's remarks during his visit to Vishnevsky Central Military Clinical Hospital (January 1, 2024)
💬 The situation on the battlefield is changing. This is despite the fact that the entire "civilised" West is fighting us. <...>
The most important thing we have is, of course, the unity of our people and society, because there is an understanding of how important the job you are doing on the battlefield is in the armed struggle for our country and our future. <...>
The problem is not with Ukraine, but with those who are trying to destroy Russia using Ukraine. That is the problem. But they will fail: it is simply out of the question.
The realisation is starting to dawn on them, and the rhetoric is changing: those who were talking just yesterday about the need to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia are now looking for the right words on how to quickly end the conflict.
☝️ We also want to end the conflict, as quickly as possible, but only on our terms. We have no desire to fight endlessly, but we are not going to cede our positions either.

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova
💬 UK Secretary of State for Defence Grant Shapps wrote on his X account: “The world has turned its back on Russia, forcing Putin into the humiliation of going cap in hand to North Korea to keep his illegal invasion going. In doing so Russia has broken multiple UNSC resolutions and put the security of another world region at risk. This must stop now. Together with our partners we’ll make sure North Korea pays a high price for supporting Russia.”
1. Is Grant Shapps about to tweet how many UNSC resolutions the UK has breached in the past 50 years? With its invasion of Iraq, for example.
2. What about the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas)? Have the ministries in London worked it out? Also, I believe they should shed light on what happened to HMS Sheffield, which sank near the Falklands in 1982. Specifically, whether there were nuclear weapons on board. Let me remind you that in the photos of the Sheffield crew that survived the sinking, the crew members were, oddly enough, wearing radiation protection gear. At the time, Shapps’s predecessors at the Ministry of Defence denied the fact that the warships bound for the islands carried nuclear weapons. But 20 years later, similar to the situation with Iraq, London acknowledged its small lie. A very small one. Britain could no longer deny it and confirmed that the ships had indeed been carrying nuclear weapons in 1982. The official spokesperson for the Ministry of Defence stated that “the weapons were Type WE.177 nuclear depth charges;” they “never entered the territorial waters of the Falkland Islands.” “A decision was taken to transfer them to other ships heading back home.” This should be verified, don’t you think?
3. I understand that poor English education has become a signature mark of the British government. Shapps could perform a simple calculation and subtract the number of NATO countries from the countries representing the Global Majority. Unfortunately, it seems like he struggles with counting.
4. Britain was the largest colonial empire in human history, with its domain spanning across all populated continents. You can learn more about this in our history section and the white book reports about the crimes of the Anglo-Saxons and their allies.
And since Shapps’s jab was specifically about North Korea, I must mention the bloody war on the Korean Peninsula that Great Britain contributed to as part of the so-called UN forces.
Here is just a brief list of London’s modern-time neo-colonial campaigns: British ground and air forces participated, alongside the Americans, in the aggression against Yugoslavia and the destruction of Iraq (see par. 1) and its population, as well as Libya, Afghanistan, the bombing of Syria and most recently – the support for the Kiev regime provided by the Anglo-Saxons in violation of all resolutions on non-supplying lethal weapons to conflict zones.
There is one thing that Shapps got right: “This must stop now.”
