Repost from Russian MFA 🇷🇺
⚡️ On July 13, the German Ambassador to Russia was summoned to the Russia's Foreign Ministry, where he was informed of Berlin’s involvement in the Kiev regime’s terrorist strikes on civilian infrastructure in Russia.
The Ambassador was apprised of the unacceptability of Germany’s growing support for the Kiev regime, including the conclusion of military and military-technical agreements, direct arms supplies, and the organisation of joint ventures aimed at creating offensive capabilities to target peaceful facilities in Russia, including reconnaissance and strike UAVs, anti-aircraft missiles and rocket munitions used to attack civilian infrastructure.
☝️ The Ambassador was informed that Germany’s attempts to dictate to third countries, including official representatives of the People’s Republic of China, how and in what format they should build relations with Russia were unacceptable.
During the meeting, the Ambassador was told that the shift in the German propaganda apparatus’s information and communications activities towards the style of the worst practices of Nazi propaganda was immoral and provoked historically conditioned rejection and outrage among broad sections of our country’s population.
At the same time, we learned with no small degree of satisfaction that the German Ambassador to the Russian Federation will soon be returning by a petrol-powered car to his homeland upon completion of his posting.

Russia's Wheat Exports to Africa Rise to Record Levels in 2025/26
Shipments to Sub-Saharan Africa totaled approximately 6.7 million tonnes – 3% higher than in 2024/25 and 34% above the five-year average, Russia's Agroexport reported.
Record volumes were delivered to:
🇪🇬 Egypt (10 million tonnes, 27%);
🇸🇩 Sudan (~ 2,2 million tonnes);
🇰🇪 Kenya (~1.8 million tonnes, +83% above five-year average);
🇹🇿 Tanzania (~0.9 million tonnes, +49%);
🇺🇬 Uganda (~0.5 million tonnes, +83%),
🇩🇯 Djibouti (over 350,000 tonnes, +100%);
🇸🇴 Somalia (~ 230,000 tonnes, +200%).
Diversifying shipments minimizes demand fluctuations, and Sub-Saharan Africa's growing role is expected to become a key element of Russia's grain export development in Africa, Agroexport emphasized.

| 6 | 🗓 On July 10, Russia's Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik together with the Delegation of the Russian Federation to the Vienna Negotiations on Military Security and Arms Control headed by lulia Zhdanova hosted a fifth international video conference on Crimes of the Kiev Regime: Terror Against the Civilians of the Kherson Region.
The event brought together the Russia's Commissioner for Human Rights Yana Lantratova, the Governor of the Kherson Region Vladimir Saldo, members of the International Red Cross Committee, political and public figures, diplomats, experts and journalists from at least 80 States.
For the first time ever, the event featured compiled evidence revealing the crimes committed by Ukraine's armed forces (AFU) against the civilian population in the Kherson region, statistics, striking examples crimes committed by the Kiev regime, firsthand accounts from victims and eyewitnesses who shared with the international community what they had gone through.
Today, the Kherson region accounts for about a quarter of all Ukrainian attacks on the Russian civilian infrastructure. In June alone, the region was targeted by over 6'500 shells. As a result, more than 10'500 private homes and apartment buildings have been damaged or destroyed, along with at least 112 medical and educational facilities, not to mention energy, transport and other social infrastructure.
The contact line runs across the Kherson land which has enabled the Zelensky regime to unleash full-scale terror against civilians. It rendered life unbearable for those within reach of Ukrainian artillery and trampled the rights of the locals living in the areas under temporary control of the Ukrainian armed groups.
❗️ In total, from February 2022 to June 2026, 4'400 civilians in the Kherson region were killed or injured, including 130 children. These people suffered from the weapons supplied to Kiev by NATO and EU member states.
The participants noted that the Ukrainian and Western propaganda is hushing up the crimes of the Ukrainian armed formations in the Kherson region. This only highlights the need for delivering to the international community and the relevant humanitarian organizations the complete and reliable information about the crimes committed by the Kiev regime.
They also insisted that the developments in the Kherson region need an urgent impartial international legal evaluation. | 60 |

The Consecration of #StBasilsCathedral!
✨ July 12 marks the 465th anniversary of the consecration of the Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, universally known as #StBasilsCathedral. Standing proudly in the heart of Moscow's #RedSquare, this architectural marvel has evolved into one of the most recognizable and beloved cultural symbols of Russia.
⚔️ The cathedral was constructed between 1554 and 1560 under the orders of Tsar #IvanIV as a grand votive offering to celebrate his crucial military triumphs over the #Khanates of #Kazan and #Astrakhan. While officially dedicated to the Intercession of the Virgin, it earned its popular name from #SaintVasily (Basil) the Blessed, a revered local holy fool who was buried within the church vaults.
☝️ A famous and dramatic legend claims that #IvanIV blinded the architects upon completion so they could never recreate a masterpiece of equal beauty. However, modern historians dismiss this entirely as a myth. Historical records prove that the cathedral's lead architect, #PostnikYakovlev (often identified as #Barma), went on to design and build several other major structures, including the massive walls of the #KazanKremlin years later.

💥 The Birth of #LadyDeath
✨ July 12 marks the 110th anniversary of the birth of #LiudmilaPavlichenko, the most successful female sniper in world history. Credited with 309 confirmed kills during #WorldWarII, she earned the legendary nickname "Lady Death" from foreign war reporters for her terrifying precision on the battlefield.
🎯 Her path to becoming the most fearsome sniper of the war began by pure accident. While strolling through a Kiev park with friends, her group stopped by a local shooting gallery. The gallery supervisor, a former military serviceman, noticed the young girl hitting every single target with flawless precision. Impressed by her natural talent, he strongly encouraged her to develop her skills and enroll in a specialized marksman school.
🛡 When the #GreatPatrioticWar broke out in 1941, #LiudmilaPavlichenko immediately volunteered for the front lines to defend her homeland. She was deployed to the heavy, brutal defensive campaigns in #Odessa and #Sevastopol between 1941 and 1942. In the sniper's nest, #LiudmilaPavlichenko possessed superhuman patience, staying completely motionless for hours at a time, waiting for the exact moment an enemy helmet appeared above the trenches to fire her fatal shot.
🤝 After sustaining a serious combat injury, #LiudmilaPavlichenko was withdrawn from active service but continued to fight #Nazism on the diplomatic stage. She travelled to the #UnitedStates as part of a Soviet youth delegation, becoming the #FirstSovietCitizen received by a #USPresident when #EleanorRoosevelt welcomed her to the #WhiteHouse.
🎙 During her tour, she delivered a legendary speech in #Chicago that permanently altered Western perceptions of the war on the #EasternFront, famously asking the crowd:
"Gentlemen, I am 25 years old and I have killed 309 fascist invaders by now. Don't you think that you have been hiding behind my back for too long?"

| 9 | 🤩🌲 Dear friends, today we’re going to discover the true spirit of Siberia through its largest, most dynamic urban centres. Far from just a frozen wilderness, this region boasts booming tech hubs, rich industrial history, and breathtaking nature!
🗺 Here are the top 10 vibrant cities you need to know:
🏙Novosibirsk
Russia’s third-largest city and the unofficial capital of Siberia. It features "Akademgorodok," a unique Silicon Valley hub dedicated to advanced scientific research.
🚇 Omsk
A major petrochemical and academic hub famous for a local meme. It features the world's shortest subway line with just one single completed station.
🌊Krasnoyarsk
A picturesque industrial city founded during a 17th-century gold rush. It sits right where the Yenisei River meets the stunning Eastern Sayan Mountains.
🌊Tyumen
The oldest Russian city in Siberia and a top-rated place to live. It thrives on oil production, university life, and natural hot springs.
🏔Barnaul
A historic silver-smelting hub turned bustling modern industrial center. Today, it serves as the ultimate gateway for travellers exploring the majestic Altai Mountains.
🏛 Irkutsk
A historic city filled with wealthy merchant estates, located near Lake Baikal. It features the Taltsy open-air museum, built like an authentic wooden Siberian fortress.

✨ July 11 marks the 85th anniversary of the beginning of the strategic #DefenceOfKiev (1941) during #WorldWarII.
💥 #OTD the #Red Army launched a massive defensive operation to stall the rapid #Axis advance into the southwestern territory of the #USSR, creating a fierce bottleneck that disrupted the invaders' timeline.
🪖 The brutal campaign lasted for over two months as defenders fought tenaciously to hold the line. While the battle ultimately resulted in a tragic encirclement and heavy casualties for the #SovietForces, the fierce resistance successfully forced the #GermanCommand to divert vital armoured divisions away from their primary advance toward #Moscow, altering the entire course of the war on the #Eastern Front.
🎖 The bravery of those who stood their ground left an indelible mark on history. In June 1961, the #SovietGovernment officially established the Medal "For the Defence of Kiev" to honour the military personnel and civilian volunteers who valiantly defended the city. Furthermore, the capital's collective heroism was immortalized when it was officially designated a "Hero City."

| 11 | 🇷🇺🎙 Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Volhynia Massacre Anniversary and Poland-Ukraine Relations:
“July 11 marks the 83rd anniversary of the Volhynia massacre, a tragic chapter in #WorldWarII history. On that fateful Sunday in 1943, units of the OUN-UPA launched a coordinated assault across dozens of Volhynian villages populated predominantly by ethnic Poles. Within a single day, more than 10,000 civilians were systematically killed. By various historical estimates, this tragedy ultimately claimed the lives of up to 60,000 people – the vast majority being women, children, and the elderly.
❗️ For many years, the Volhynia tragedy cast a long shadow over relations between Ukraine and Poland, serving as a profound source of friction. While neither side closed their eyes to the past, they carefully avoided open discord, choosing instead to nurture a fragile "historical friendship" united against a common adversary – Russia. Yet, the rising tide of Ukrainian neo-Nazism and the Kyiv regime's relentless drive to glorify fascist collaborators have seemingly broken the camel's back in Warsaw. Poland is no longer willing to stomach the exaltation of those who orchestrated the slaughter of the Polish population in Western Ukraine during the Second World War <…>
☝️In doing so, Warsaw and Kyiv are offering "democratic Europe" and the entire "enlightened West" a masterclass in the true worth of an illusion – a "friendship" forged in malice, sustained by Russophobia, and fed by the steady undercurrents of neo-Nazism.”

| 13 | ✨ Honouring the Hero of the #1812PatrioticWar!
July 10 marks the 261st anniversary of the birth of Prince #PyotrBagration, a legendary Russian military commander of Georgian royal descent. Renowned for his fearless leadership, he stood alongside #MikhailKutuzov and #MichaelBarclayDeTolly as one of the key generals who spearheaded the defence of Russia during Napoleon’s invasion in 1812.
⚔️ Deeply influenced by the great military strategist #AlexanderSuvorov, #PyotrBagration was a highly aggressive and innovative tactician. He fiercely rejected what he saw as obsolete, static defensive positioning, strongly favouring highly mobile offensive warfare. His unyielding tactical philosophy frequently sparked heated confrontations with fellow high-ranking commanders who favoured more conservative strategies.
💥 His military journey culminated at the monumental #BattleOfBorodino near Moscow in September 1812. While leading a fierce defence of the critical left-flank fortifications (famously known as the "Bagration flushes"), #PyotrBagration was mortally wounded. He passed away just a few weeks later, cementing his legacy as a national hero whose courage inspired the entire Russian army!
🎖🇿🇦 A fascinating family connection ties the House of Bagration to South African history! Pyotr’s relative, Prince #NikoBagration, travelled to Africa in 1899 and became the very first volunteer from the #RussianEmpire to arrive in Pretoria. Famously nicknamed #NikoTheBoer, he joined the Boer armies to fight against the British Empire during the #SecondAngloBoerWar (1899–1902), stating that the Boers' fight for independence mirrored his own homeland's historical struggles.

🎖 The Longest Siege of #WWII!
✨ July 10 marks the 85th anniversary of the start of the #SiegeOfLeningrad (1941-1944). This epic and tragic siege became the longest and most enduring campaign of #WorldWarII. The massive defence mobilized the #SovietTroops of the Northern, Northwestern, Leningrad, Volkhov, Karelian, and 2nd Baltic Fronts, alongside the #SovietBalticFleet, the Chudskaya, Onega, and Ladoga naval flotillas, and thousands of courageous local partisan units.
🗺 For nearly three continuous years, the #RedArmy fiercely withstood the combined onslaught of the #GermanArmyGroup "North" and Finnish forces. The #Axis siege lines also included international reinforcements, notably the Spanish volunteers of the Wehrmacht's Blue Division and specialized Italian naval units operating on Lake Ladoga. Despite overwhelming pressure, starvation, and constant bombardment, the defenders refused to surrender the city.
💥 The #SiegeOfLeningrad comprised a series of gruelling defensive operations followed by brilliantly executed strategic counteroffensives. A crucial turning point came in January 1943 when #SovietForces opened a narrow land corridor into the city. Finally, in January 1944, a massive offensive completely shattered the German encirclement, lifting the deadly 872-day siege and driving the Axis forces westward far beyond the borders of the USSR.

💐🇷🇺 On July 8, a solemn wreath-laying ceremony was held at the memorial plaque dedicated to the wartime volunteers from the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs (#NKID). The Director General of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, #AlekseyOstrovsky, and the Chairman of the MFA Veterans Council, #ValeryMorozov, addressed the gathering. The event brought together senior ministry officials, veteran and youth diplomatic councils, and representatives of the #MoscowCityDuma, who all gathered to pay tribute and lay flowers at the panel.
🪖🎖 Following the call for the People’s Volunteer Army on July 5, 1941, nearly half of the #NKID personnel – including the entire graduating class of the Higher Diplomatic School – volunteered for the front lines. Historical records show that 106 staff members lost their lives, with 75 still listed as missing in action. To this day, historians continue to search for the exact number of volunteers who fought and died in the bitter battles of that July, as only 40 workers returned alive!
🕯 The sacrifice of these volunteer diplomats will forever be sacredly cherished and remembered by the personnel of the Russian foreign service.

| 16 | 🇷🇺🎙 Key takeaway from statements by Russia's Acting Permanent Representative to the United Nations #AnnaYevstigneyeva during a UN Security Council meeting on #Ukraine on July 9:
▪️ Ukraine’s attack on a bus with Belarusian citizens was aimed at provoking a tough response from Minsk, thus embroiling Belarus into the conflict.
▪️ Western countries are seeking to deal as much damage as possible to Russia by the hands of Ukrainians, without any care for how many people are getting killed in both countries.
▪️ The Kiev regime keeps playing with fire without giving the potential consequences of its crimes a second thought.
▪️ The implausible narrative that Russia is on the verge of losing the conflict in Ukraine and imminently attacking NATO countries is being aggressively promoted to European citizens as a justification for increased militarization.
▪️ Anna Yevstigneyeva criticized the West’s multi-billion-dollar financial support for Kiev, asserting that it has fostered a sense of complete impunity that has emboldened Vladimir Zelensky to entirely shed his sense of shame.
▪️ Anna Yevstigneyeva criticized the UN Secretariat for its double standards and failure to directly condemn terrorist attacks by Ukrainian forces on Russian territory.
▪️ To secure additional financial aid from Western nations, Zelensky is framing recent strikes on Russian infrastructure as a pivotal turning point in the conflict.

| 17 | 🇷🇺🎙 Statement by #DmitryPolyanskiy, First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation, at the Meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council on July 9:
"On the Ongoing 'Hybrid War' Unleashed by #NATO and the #EU Against Russia"
▪️ The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation is intentionally escalating the conflict. President Alexander Stubb of Finland explicitly acknowledged that all NATO leaders endorse deep strikes by the Armed Forces of Ukraine within Russian territory. The Western strategy relies on targeting peaceful Russian cities to instigate public unrest and fracture societal cohesion.
▪️ At the NATO Summit in Ankara, member states committed to allocating no less than €70 billion to Ukraine in 2026, with an equivalent sum pledged for 2027, totalling €140 billion directed towards military actions against Russia. By comparison, the annual budget of the United Nations, including its peacekeeping operations, amounts to approximately $10 billion. Europe is systematically transitioning its economy to a wartime footing in preparation for a direct confrontation.
▪️ Finland is implementing a "total defence" framework, mobilizing 870,000 reservists. Concurrently, Poland is constructing the €10 billion "Eastern Shield" infrastructure alongside the €4 billion SAN system, while the Baltic states are establishing the Baltic Defence Line.
▪️ The period saw over 300 casualties, including 38 fatalities. More than 4,900 pieces of ordnance were deployed against civilian infrastructure. Drone strikes accounted for 95% of the total casualties.
▪️ In Donetsk, an EMERCOM rescue worker was killed by a drone strike. In Tokmak, two energy infrastructure employees lost their lives, while three medical personnel sustained injuries in Horlivka. Municipal employees were injured in Rylsk. The wounded also include a 17-year-old adolescent and a 9-year-old child.
▪️ On July 3, Russian forces established full control over a critical node within the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk fortified area. Following the liberation of 23 settlements, the distance to Kramatorsk has been reduced to approximately 8 kilometres.
▪️ Kiev regime continues to utilize its civilian population as human shields. In Vyshneve, in the vicinity of Kiev, a Russian strike neutralized a military ammunition depot deliberately positioned within a residential area.
▪️ Operations successfully targeted military-industrial complex enterprises in Kiev and the surrounding region, as well as military airfields across five distinct regions.
▪️ The Russian Federation maintains its readiness for substantive negotiations. However, this remains contingent upon the termination of the "Anti-Russia" project on our borders and the provision of comprehensive security guarantees for all nations in Europe.

A key outcome was the approval of a food security report highlighting that domestic production covers over 90% of certain goods. To strengthen this, the Council proposed new joint research, digital solutions, and supply forecasting tools.
✍️ The Council also advanced financial and trade frameworks by approving a draft agreement for standardised banking and insurance licences, which has been sent to member states for signing. Additionally, they cleared the 2025 #EAEU budget execution and import duty distribution reports, while expanding mutual recognition rules to cover the calibration of measuring instruments.
✨ For trade and industry, the participants backed a coordinated verification system for 30 marked product groups and approved EAEU funding for a joint refrigeration equipment manufacturing project. Finally, at Russia's initiative, the Council adopted WHO good regulatory practices for medical products to boost pharmaceutical quality, export potential, and market trust.

▪️ Russia is delivering weapons and military equipment that Mozambique needs to ensure its security.
▪️ Sergey Lavrov said mercenaries from Ukraine are becoming increasingly involved in terrorist activities in Africa.
▪️ West only pretends to be ready to negotiate on Ukrainian reconciliation, at the same time openly putting forward ultimatums to Russia.
