My discussion with TRT international on NATO’s 75-th anniversary and its “achievements”

My discussion with DD Geopolitics today on our efforts to bring the topic of 25-th Anniversary of NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia, as well as on the situation in the Middle East

My interview to the RT with a recap on what happened during this week in the UN Security Council in connection with the 25 years since NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia

The disgusting show that the Western delegations organized today in connection with the meeting requested by Russia on the 25th anniversary of NATO aggression against Yugoslavia indicates how much they fear public discussion of this issue. They have good reason to be afraid - after all, none of the members of the Alliance has ever been held accountable for it! That is why they are now trying to categorize this issue as "long gone history". What a trifle - 78 days of bombing of the civilian population and soil contaminated for centuries with depleted uranium! Bottom line is that it's not Anglo-Saxon population and land. Apparently, receiving instructions to prevent at all costs public discussion of these extremely uncomfortable questions for the NATO members, the Western delegations - and the shameful "honor" of breaking the Security Council's working practice fell to France - noticeably "stumbled in their statements". They would say that the topic is irrelevant. Then that it's better to discuss it informally. Then that they were not asked if this meeting was necessary! In general, an aggressor is an aggressor, even after 25 years. The acting Prime Minister of Serbia, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic, who flew in from Belgrade specifically to participate in this meeting, witnessed this pathetic spectacle. Unfortunately, due to the manipulation by the Japanese presidency and the passivity of the non-permanent members of the Security Council (all abstained), the agenda was not agreed upon and the meeting did not take place. Algerian and Chinese colleagues stood firmly and consistently with us. After these battles, we went to the press, as did our Serbian colleagues. But regardless of the outcome of the vote, the main result is that the world saw how petty the Western delegations are and how they tremble when reminded of the truth about what they did 25 years ago. And that is the best incentive for us to keep this topic in the Council's focus, whether they like it or not.

Voting results on the American resolution on Gaza: 11 "for" Three - Algeria on behalf of the Arab group, Russia, and China - against. One - Guyana - abstained. Accordingly, Russia and China vetoed, the entire Arab world also opposed the American project, which is crucial for us. The Americans did not hide the fact that the main focus of their project is not vague wordings about ceasefire but the one-sided condemnation of Hamas. There is not a word about Israel's actions in violation of the Minsk Group Protocol and the 32,000 Palestinians who died there. Furthermore, at the coordination stage, almost all Security Council members expressed the view that the demand for an immediate ceasefire should not be conditional on the release of hostages or the condemnation of Hamas. It is also worth recalling that the Security Council was ready to adopt a resolution condemning Hamas's actions as early as October 18th. It was vetoed by the US at that time. What they now prefer not to remember, of course. The "for" vote of the 8 non-permanent members is not surprising - they initially expected the document not to pass, so they would not have to publicly go against Washington. A convenient and, unfortunately, typical position of Western non-permanent members. Guyana's independent stance is worthy of respect. They consistently demonstrate themselves as principled players in the Security Council. This once again confirms that a sovereign stance is a matter of political choice, not the size of the country. And finally, in the screenshot that is below this post, you can see how Western media (in this case, the BBC) have already started lying about the American project. In reality, there is no call for an immediate ceasefire in it! The Americans only decided on a formulation that "the Council deems it imperative to immediately cease fire." As you understand, the Council can deem it for as long as it wants. This is what Israel and its American accomplice need to finally destroy the Palestinians in Gaza or squeeze them out of there. Russia will not allow the UN Security Council to be dragged into these dirty games!

I had a new discussion with Glenn Diesen from Norway and Alexander Mercouris from the UK on the topic of our actions in the UN Security Council to identify and punish those responsible for undermining the "Nord Stream". And also about the zombying of Western citizens with anti-Russian propaganda.

My short interview for the RT today

My conversation with George Szamuely: https://youtu.be/mLO7J_0EpVs?si=3xzQiTtfjxZeaSH_

My conversation with Afrique Media. Discussion topics: Africa, Ukraine, 10-th anniversary of the Maidan coup, prospects of peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian crisis

⚡❗️Foundation to Battle Injustice Attended the Meeting of the UN Security Council❗️ On November 10, 2023, the head of the Foundation to Battle Injustice Mira Terada participated in the UN Security Council meeting on the “Arria Formula” to combat the forced removal of Ukrainian children from their families and their exploitation, as well as the protection of the rights of Ukrainian children in the European Union. The head of the Foundation to Battle Injustice, Mira Terada, noted that more than half a year has passed since the informal meeting of the UN Security Council initiated by Russia in April 2023, at which the Russian Presidential Ombudsperson for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova spoke, but violations of children’s rights against minors by the Ukrainian side are only increasing. Minor children in Ukraine are endangered by their own government. In April 2023, the Ukrainian authorities launched a large-scale campaign to remove parentless underage children from Donbas for subsequent transfer to Europe, where they are subjected to cruel treatment and adopted for money. The Ukrainian paramilitary groups “Phoenix” and “White Angels”, despite their stated aim of ensuring “decent and safe living conditions for children”, regularly intimidate and deceive families, often using violence and blackmail, removing children without any legal grounds. 👉Click here to continue reading and watch an outstanding presentation to the UNSC👈 🎙Subscribe @TheIslanderNews

I was once again on the air at New York WBAI radio discussing Nazi-row in Canadian Parliament and glorification of Nazis in Ukraine in general. In the second part of the program you might listen to Faina Savenkova, a 14-years old writer from Lugansk who was included into the Ukrainian Nationalists’ infamous hit-list “Mirotvorets”

I would like recommend a project of my good friends who have taken on the task of debunking the Western-promoted so-called "rules based international order". And they use historical facts for this. A very worthy cause! 👍🏻

🇺🇦 How can Ukraine have a major Nazi problem if its president is "Jewish?" It's actually very simple, the president simply supports and works with Nazis regardless of his supposed religious background. The Grayzone explains: https://thegrayzone.com/2023/08/16/zelensky-ukraines-notorious-neo-nazi/

🇷🇺🇺🇳Some of my Remarks to the Press after UNSC briefing on the issue of persecution of Ukrainian Orthodox Church: 💬Despite all the declared values and principles by the British Presidency, namely that it would encourage participation of civil society activists, the Presidency denied participation of our briefer [Archbishop Gedeon] who had direct relation to the topic of the meeting and who could bring absolutely valuable information to the attention of members of the Security Council. I tried to compensate this moment in my statement. I quoted some part, a very disturbing part from his statement, which I thought was necessary for everyone to listen to. But we are really very much shocked by the behavior of the British Presidency. That's why we decided to protest and not speak at the next meeting. <…> We repeatedly warned the members of the Security Council that during high precision Russian strikes on military infrastructure or related objects, the main or maybe the only danger for civilians in Ukraine are the actions of Ukrainian air defense, which is being placed in residential areas and city centers in clear violation of international humanitarian law. <…> The UK has on several occasions showed that interests of NATO and of Western countries are more important to them than their position as President [of the Security Council]. And today was a blatant example of this. I don't know what has happened with the British diplomacy, but it's certainly not commendable. 📖Read in full

On an emotional visit to St Petersburg I was privileged to visit “Dom Radio” a beautiful building once the home of Soviet Radio and recital rooms, now a community arts centre. During WW2 The city of Leningrad as St Petersburg was then known, suffered an horrific siege which lasted 2 years, 4 months, 2 weeks and 5 days. During this time the citizens of Leningrad suffered medieval levels of suffering and cruelty at the hands of the besieging Nazi forces. Over 1.5 million souls died in the city from starvation, indiscriminate bombing and disease, the same number were evacuated many of whom were murdered while fleeing the city, the majority being women and children. During the siege Many artists shared all the hardships of the siege with the people. The poetess Olga Bergholz wrote poems and read them on the radio, becoming a friend for exhausted Leningraders, a consolation, confirmation that people “must hold on” Musical Comedy players continued to entertain though themselves on the verge of evacuation, Athletes held a legendary siege football match, all this so that the people of Leningrad, and most importantly, the bridging German forces who hoped to break the spirit of the people, would know that the city lived, resisted and hoped. In the spring of 1942, a call was announced on the radio for all musicians in the city to come to the orchestra of the Radio Committee to prepare the premiere of Dmitri Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony conducted by Karl Eliasberg. The conductor of the Eliasberg symphony, who had weakened so badly he had to been brought to the first rehearsals on a sled by his wife, pianist Nadezhda Bronnikova insisted on making the journey despite being near death from starvation, despite having nothing left but the love of their people and the music which sustained them. Shostakovich dedicated his famous symphony, borne of the suffering he shared with his ordinary fellow citizens, to the “Fight against Fascism” legendary courage from an icon of the arts. Still loved by the people to this day.

Footage of a Russian fighter fearlessly throwing off grenades dropped on him by the Ukrainian drone went viral several months ago. A group of independent journalists interviewed the man who revealed a lot of his experience of living in Donbass and resisting Ukrainian aggression against Russian-speaking population residing there launched in 2014. Very much recommended to watch in order to understand what was and is happening in Ukraine.

Kyiv regime keeps repressing Ukrainian priests since February — victim number grows In an official statement to the UN Secretary General, Guterres, and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Turk, it is said about the increase in the number of repressed clergy of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church since February. Ivan Melnikov, the vice president of the International Committee’s Russian Division for the Protection of Human Rights, says the number of victims has increased from 50 to 75 since February; their lives and health are under threat. Ukrainian priests are expelled from churches; they are arrested, beaten, and tortured, as evidenced by the videos of parishioners. "The clergy are being tortured... There is the case of Priest Andrei Pavlenko, about whom I have repeatedly written in an appeal to the OSCE and a number of other international organizations. He said that as soon as he got to the police department, he was severely beaten there for many hours. Many months have passed since the exchange, but he is still undergoing treatment," Melnikov also reports.

FAINA SAVENKOVA – I WISH YOU MR. CARLSON, GOOD LUCK ON YOUR WAY 29/04/2023 Hello, Mr. Carlson I found out yesterday that Fox News has decided not to work with you anymore. That’s very sad, but I guess it had to happen eventually, because you always told the truth about what you saw and what you thought. As it turns out, that’s not in vogue now. America has always been a free country, but now it is unfortunately sinking into darkness. This was the case with Ukraine, which was looted by oligarchs in a short period of time, eventually turning into a war-torn country with a dictatorship. Could that happen to the U.S.? I think it’s already happening. The US has always prided itself on having freedom of choice, freedom of speech, but where are they now? Politicians are doing everything they can to hold onto power and somehow miraculously become world leaders by supplying Ukraine with weapons and supporting the war. But does this benefit Americans? They are living worse and worse, while those who started it all are profiting from the suffering and death of others. And the easiest thing to do is to blame it all on Putin. It sounds like the Ukrainian government, for the 9th year, giving orders with European and American guns to kill civilians and level the cities of Donbass to the ground. But it’s too scary to admit that it’s responsible for the deaths of Donbass residents; it’s easier to say that we’re shelling ourselves. So in the US, all the troubles are not because of Putin, but because of politicians who are greedy for profit. I really hope that the US will wake up and people will realize that the war may not only be in Ukraine or Europe. It can come to you. You cannot trust those who deceive their citizens, and the president of this great country does not recognize himself in the mirror and talks to ghosts. I know that you, Mr. Carlson like many of my friends in the U.S., are telling the truth because you understand that the world cannot survive World War III. You do not have to love Russia to tell the truth. I wish you Mr. Carlson, good luck on your journey. You are real, that’s why you are so feared. Someday I will definitely write a novel about you and talk about people who disregard the attacks and despite personal troubles, they keep telling the truth. What is freedom? Freedom is when a person tells the truth. Faina Savenkova writer, playwright, activist in Lugansk https://www.donbass-insider.com/2023/04/29/faina-savenkova-i-wish-you-mr-carlson-good-luck-on-your-way/

🇺🇸 🚫 🇷🇺 For three days now Creative Diplomacy and Meeting Russia (MR) alumni and friends have been in bewilderment over the accusations that came from the U.S.A. against Natalia Burlinova. Quite unbelievably, the F.B.I. itself accused Dr. Burlinova, President of Creative Diplomacy and principal organizer of MR, of something like having collected information on MR participants for the FSB (Russian federal security agency). 🏹 The arrowhead of the infowar weapons has touched Dr. Burlinova – the life and soul of the Creative Diplomacy and the person who spent years on building friendly contacts with foreigners and promoting academic exchange. 🗣 Everybody knows now what these weapons are: fake news, disinformation, libel, imitations, staged scandals… 💔 Some MR alumni found it possible to believe the accusation and criticize Natalia – the person who spent all her energy on welcoming these people to Moscow or Ulyanovsk, on arranging their meetings with Russia’s important politicians and experts, on making the guests feel at home. 🇺🇸 Of course, those of the critics who work for U.S. companies or institutions have no other choice but to side with their government. This is understandable: they are pro-U.S., naturally. At the same time, they deny Natalia her right to be pro-Russian. Maybe they presume that anyone who is pro-Russian works for the FSB and spies on them, which is absurd. ❤️ Fortunately, most MR alumni and supporters view the news from the U.S.A. with incredulity. One can’t help being skeptical about any information that comes from the West these days. This incident is another lie in the long series of lies, whether the accusations concern governments (Iraq, 2003, etc., etc.), or private persons.

#EuropeStealsChildren, a case from Finland We received a request from Emilia Zhurba, citizen of Ukraine from Mariupol, who came as a refugee to Finland with two children born in 2015 and 2017 and his father. She is now in the town of Jyväskylä. On March 24 juvenile guardianship services stole both children from her appartement while she and her father briefly went away to buy some food. They are now placed in Vartii shelter and may be given to the adoptive families. Finnish authorities claim that children were neglected and used the pretext of them being left unattended. Emilia categorically rejects these claims. She suspects that this whole situation was staged and that Finnish neighbors who liked her kids and decided to adopt them are behind the plot. Both kids are being kept in bad conditions, face malnutrition and are being given some drugs which cause deterioration of their situation. Emilia herself made such a conclusion when she briefly visited them. According to her information, the kids will be kept in shelter for 30 days since the moment of their arrest and then the court may make a decision to give them to foster families. Let’s not abandon Emilia with her problems! I ask for maximum repost. It’s important that Finnish and European media and public opinion learn about what’s happening with her children. If you want to get in touch with Emilia or have any messages for her please write at [email protected]

Our informal (“Arria-Formula”) Security Council meeting on alleged stealing of children from Ukraine by Russia held on April 5 attracted big attention, especially part of our statement where we exposed facts of alienation of Ukrainian refugees’ children by European authorities. We aired several videoclips where Ukrainian refugees begged to help them get back their children taken away by juvenile services in a number of countries, these clips had been previously posted on social media by Ukrainian mothers themselves. They remained virtually without any support after decisions of local courts that authorized de-facto alienation of their children under different pretexts. The fact that we went public with this information took the authorities of some European countries by surprise. The Portugese authorities in particular decided to allow in breach of usual practice one of the Ukrainian refugees to spend 5 days with her three children and she used this opportunity and brought them back to Ukraine. We don’t claim credit for this and are simply glad that children managed to escape European captivity. No politics involved! After the meeting we were approached by a number of mothers living in Europe, not only Ukrainians. They asked us to make their cases public hoping that this will help them to get their children back. We decided to help them as much as we can. So we will publish with their consent information on our social media with hashtag #EuropeStealsChildren. We also created a special contact mailbox - [email protected]. We encourage everyone to repost such posts and hope that European NGO’s will also pay attention to this problem.

How would you react if someone leaves the room as you speak and then says that he hasn't heard a single fact in your statement? That's exactly how our UK, US, Albania and Malta collegues behaved during our Informal UN Security Council Meeting ("Arria-Formula") "Children in armed conflict: Ukrainian crisis. Evacuating children from conflict zone" held in yhe UN headquarters in NYC on April 5. And on the eve of the meeting they cowardly blocked its webcast thus showing worst censorship intentions. The explanation is obvious: they simply don't want to hear truth, all they want is to continue stockpiling lies and fakes on Russia. For all those who want to hear facts and care about the truth here is a link to the full recording of our meeting. Our briefers made a brilliant job. You will see among them Maria Lvova-Belova, Presidential adisor on children's rights, and Daria Morozova, Donetsk People's Republic ombudsman. You will also hear in our introductory speech nauseating facts on how Ukrainian children are bein alienated from their mothers in Europe with no one caring and helping them to get them back
