⚡️ Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik:
💬 ⚡️ During Holy Week, in the lead-up to Easter – the most important Orthodox holiday – Ukrainian militants killed 29 civilians, including three children. Nearly 200 civilians were injured during the same period, among them 12 children.
Ukrainian militants carried out a whole series of attacks against civilians, including the killing of a family with a 12-year-old child in the Vladimir Region, a strike on a school in the Zaporozhye Region, and an attack on paramedics in the Belgorod Region, which left three ambulance workers wounded.
❗️ There were casualties even during the Easter truce. Ukrainian armed formations violated the temporary ceasefire no fewer than 6,558 times, continuing strikes on both Russian positions and civilian facilities in Russia’s regions.
On April 6-12, 199 civilians suffered from shelling by Ukrainian Nazis: 170 were wounded, including 12 minors, while 29 people, including three minors, were killed. In total, Ukrainian militants fired no fewer than 2,892 munitions at civilian targets on Russian territory.

🎙 Opening remarks by Foreign Minister of Russia Sergey Lavrov during talks with Foreign Minister of China Wang Yi (April 14, 2026, Beijing)
💬 This is our first in-person meeting this year, although we have already had several telephone conversations. They are always substantive and detailed.
I have no doubt that we will have many more opportunities to speak again this year and thus prepare additional decisions ahead of new contacts between our Leaders. These contacts are already scheduled. Today, we will discuss this in detail.
I fully agree that the foundations of international relations are now being put through the most serious trials. One need only look at what happened at the beginning of the year in Latin America, in Venezuela, and at what is happening now in the Middle East.
The Ukrainian crisis, which the West sought to manufacture artificially in order, as it claimed, to inflict a “strategic defeat” on Russia, is now being used, above all by the Europeans, to begin hatching plans for the creation of a new aggressive bloc in the west of the Eurasian continent, involving the Kiev regime, with the obvious aim of directing this new formation against our country.
In the eastern part of the Eurasian continent, dangerous games are also continuing – both over Taiwan and in the South China Sea, while tensions are being fuelled on the Korean Peninsula.
The same applies to the space which for many years was a place of cooperation and good-neighbourliness – the so-called ASEAN-centred space. Attempts are being made to dismantle it by creating small-group and bloc-based structures with the aim of containing both China and Russia, which also border this most important region and form part of Eurasia.
Our vast continent as a whole requires constant attention. I am confident that today we will be able to discuss in practical terms our concrete steps both in line with the initiatives put forward by the President of China on global security and in other areas, and in line with President Vladimir Putin’s initiative to build a pan-continental Eurasian security architecture.
I believe our meeting is very timely. Thank you for the invitation. I am focused on concrete and productive work.

⚡️ В преддверии Дня памяти жертв геноцида советского народа продолжаем всесторонне освещать эту важнейшую проблематику на цифровых ресурсах МИД России.
Согласно Конвенции ООН о предупреждении преступления геноцида и наказании за него, под геноцидом понимаются действия, совершаемые с намерением уничтожить, полностью или частично, какую-либо национальную, этническую, расовую или религиозную группу как таковую:
• убийство членов такой группы;
• причинение серьезных телесных повреждений или умственного расстройства членам такой группы;
• предумышленное создание для какой-либо группы таких жизненных условий, которые рассчитаны на полное или частичное физическое уничтожение ее;
• меры, рассчитанные на предотвращение деторождения в среде такой группы;
• насильственная передача детей из одной человеческой группы в другую.
В отношении жителей оккупированных территорий Советского Союза немецко-фашистскими захватчиками и их приспешниками применялись все пять официально классифицированных форм геноцида.
***
Одной из ключевых составляющих являлась нацистская политика, направленная на умышленное умерщвление народов СССР, геноцидальная стратегия голода.
Накануне вторжения в Советский Союз нацистская бюрократия разработала геноцидальный «План голода», сознательно нацеленный на массовую смерть десятков миллионов человек. Он подразумевал, что при быстром захвате зернопроизводящих регионов юга страны все продовольственные потоки будут перенаправлены на снабжение немецкой армии и немецких обывателей, чтобы они не чувствовали тягот войны.
Таким образом жители нечерноземных территорий европейской части Советского Союза, а также всех крупных городов СССР обрекались на голодную смерть уже зимой 1941/1942 года.
❌ Число людей, подлежащих уничтожению за этот срок, оценивалось нацистскими лидерами в 20-30 миллионов человек.
В директивах открыто подчеркивалась не только экономическая, но и этническая подоплека уничтожения. Их авторы, в первую очередь статс-секретарь министерства сельского хозяйства и продовольствия Герберт Бакке, приближенный к Гитлеру и Герингу, обосновывал необходимость применить столь чудовищный план к советскому населению именно потому, что «великороссы всегда, что при царе, что при большевиках, являются основными врагами не только Германии, но и Европы».
«План Герберта Бакке» был полностью утверждён верхушкой Рейха, и в 1941 году его начали реализовывать на оккупированных советских землях. Хотя нацисты и не достигли своих целей в полном объеме, однако жертвами стратегии сознательно организованного голода стало не менее пяти миллионов человек.
Из выступления руководителя научно-просветительского проекта «Цифровая история», руководителя Комиссии Научного Совета РВИО по изучению геноцидов и военных преступлений Е.Н.Яковлева на пресс-конференции в пресс-центре МИА «Россия сегодня» по теме «Геноцид советского народа: историческое просвещение и международное признание», 13 апреля 2026 года:

Как высчитал Бакке, в результате этого тотального ограбления уже зимой 1941-1942 года должно было умереть от 20 до 30 миллионов жителей нечернозёмных советских территорий.
И это было одобрено всеми заинтересованными ведомствами нацистской Германии. Это одобрили представители Вермахта, потому что Вермахт снабжался за счёт этого ограбления. Это одобрили представители Министерства Восточных территорий во главе с Альфредом Розенбергом. Конечно, это одобрили СС, потому что СС возглавлял Генрих Гиммлер, который давно был фанатичным сторонником идеи завоевания жизненного пространства. И, естественно, это было одобрено самим Адольфом Гитлером, который видел в завоевании обширных территорий на востоке вплоть до Урала свою историческую миссию и хотел видеть результат этого завоевания – германизацию этих территорий - уже при своей жизни.

🌏 Southeast Asia in the Multipolar World
👉 Read in full ( Website | Telegraph )
💬 Some experts writing about international developments come to the conclusion that multipolarity has emerged sooner than many were ready for it. The speed of change is so high that even the boldest forecasts often materialise in real time.
President Vladimir Putin said at the Plenary Session of the 22nd annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club in October 2025 that “multipolarity has in fact already emerged”.
The pillars of a polycentric world are already in place, but the structure itself remains flexible. There are several independent centres where systemically significant decisions are made. The most important of these are the US, China and Russia. India is developing its overall capacity. Brazil, Indonesia, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and several other major countries are strengthening their international standing, and their influence is acquiring a transregional scope. Continental Europe has placed its bets on fighting Russia, and as a result, it is losing its chance to be independent in global affairs.
A multipolar world is rising from the old system, often on its ruins. The fundamentals of international relations are being put to the test. Those that fail to meet the requirements of the new age are mercilessly cast aside. There are serious grounds to assume that not all of the “poles” mentioned above will weather the nascent geopolitical storm, and that new centres of power and influence will emerge as a result.
The new element at this stage is that all “living” civilisations have moved to the centre of world politics for the first time. The “new rules” are being shaped “on the ground” by a large number of widely different players. As President Putin forecast at a meeting of the Valdai Club, “we will not see a clash of ideologies or states due to ideological differences but rather a clash of states and coalescence based on civilisational features.”
Other key points:
• The multipolar world order that is taking shape right before our eyes is being rejected by countries accustomed to thinking in terms of global dominance and neocolonialism, and they are making deliberate attempts to contain their geopolitical competitors and limit their growth opportunities by pushing them out of global and regional markets and exerting pressure on them.
• Such behaviour has become systemic and echoes in developments across the world, including Southeast Asia. We can see how certain external forces are now trying to reshape the region to serve their own interests, with the aim of weakening China and sideline Russia.
• Russia remains a reliable friend to the countries of Southeast Asia. Our relations are unburdened by either a colonial past or long-standing disagreements. Our country is seen not only as a centre of power, but also as a time-tested guarantor of security.
• Direct contacts with influential regional organisations are expanding. Relations have been established with the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, the Eurasian Economic Union, and the Gulf Cooperation Council. ASEAN places great emphasis on strengthening ties with #BRICS.
• Southeast Asia not only exists on the geopolitical map but is actively asserting itself as a promising centre of a multipolar world, a region raising its voice in global affairs.

During the visit, he was received by President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping and held substantive talks with Foreign Minister of China Wang Yi.
📹 Statement and answers to media questions by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov following his visit to China
President Xi welcomed the Russian Foreign Minister's visit and spoke highly of the unprecedented level of bilateral relations, highlighting the significant results achieved over 30 years of strategic cooperation, grounded in the Treaty of Good-Neighbourliness, Friendship and Cooperation of July 16, 2001, which has successfully guided ties between the two countries for a quarter of a century.
Sergey Lavrov conveyed warm greetings and best wishes to Xi Jinping from President Vladimir Putin, who is preparing to pay an official visit to China in the first half of the year. Russia’s Foreign Minister underscored the guiding role of leader-level diplomacy in steadily advancing Russia-China ties across all areas.
During his talks with Wang Yi, Sergey Lavrov held an in-depth exchange of views on a broad range of bilateral and international issues of mutual interest.
☝️ Particular attention was given to pressing international issues, including the situation around Iran, the Ukraine crisis and developments in Latin America.
The Sides emphasiszed the importance of further strengthening coordination between Moscow and Beijing on the international stage, including at the #UN and its Security Council, the #SCO, #BRICS, #APEC, the #G20 and other multilateral platforms. The Ministers also touched upon issues related to maintaining peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region and discussed cooperation in the post-Soviet space.
🤝 The talks were held in the friendly, trusting and constructive atmosphere that has come to define Russia-China relations.

🎙 Statement and answers to media questions by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov following his visit to the People’s Republic of China (Beijing, April 15, 2026)
Key points:
• Russia and China are interested in ensuring that the West’s overt attempts to preserve and, in some cases, even “renew” its hegemony fail. These efforts are rooted in the assumption that the West’s five-hundred-year experience of conquering the world, subordinating it to its own interests and shaping mechanisms of global governance that allow it to live at others’ expense can somehow be sustained.
• We devoted particular attention to Eurasia, where new centres of tension are continuing to emerge. In Europe, this is reflected in NATO’s attempts to find a new reason for its existence, above all by drawing Ukraine into its ranks. It is also evident in the militarisation of the EU, which we are witnessing against the backdrop of crises within NATO caused by disagreements between Washington and the European capitals, above all – the Brussels bureaucracy.
• Our entire Eurasian continent, in one way or another, has become an arena for serious and competing trends and practical actions by leading members of the international community. It is the largest and wealthiest continent, with resources that are essentially inexhaustible. That is why both the geopolitical and geoeconomic dimensions are of particular importance here.
• I agree with the description of #RussiaChina relations as “unshakable in the face of any storm”. This is not merely a slogan, but a statement of fact already borne out by a whole range of developments in which Russia and China are playing a stabilising role in support of those trends – enshrined in the UN Charter – that are now striving to prevail in international affairs.
• Russia can help offset the supply deficit now faced by both China and other countries interested in working with us on an equal and mutually beneficial basis. 👉 We have said this on a number of occasions. It is no coincidence that, now that the crisis in the Middle East has erupted, EU officials are already publicly calling on the European Commission to “show mercy” toward the national sovereignty of EU member states and postpone plans to shut off the “valve” completely.
• Europe is starting to realise that, if it gets off what it calls the Russian “oil and gas needle”, it may well end up impaled on the “energy stake” of another great power – one already being carefully sharpened for Europe. It is a pivotal moment.
• One must always look at the root causes. Would Iran have taken any steps to close the Strait of Hormuz or strike US facilities on the Arabian Peninsula had it not been for the aggression of Washington and Israel against the Islamic Republic? Everyone understands that this would not have happened.
• In Kosovo, the West demonstrated that the law simply does not apply to it – only the part which happens to suit it at a given moment. At that time, what suited the West was the provision of the UN Charter stating that nations are equal and that every nation has the right to self-determination. But when the question is raised about the right of the people of Crimea and Novorossiya to self-determination, the West ducks the issue.
• Unlike the EU, we are interested in seeing unifying infrastructure take shape in the Balkans in every sense – economic as well as cultural. The same goal – to unite and maximise benefits for all – is pursued by China’s Belt and Road Initiative, which is also highly popular in the Balkans and being actively advanced there.
• I hope that the US will not return to the era of outright colonial wars and the suppression of free peoples. It was not Cuba that refused dialogue with Washington for decades.
• I would advise the US, in every case where it dislikes a particular government, to begin by engaging it in dialogue. Not a single country, including Venezuela, has ever refused dialogue with the US. It was the US, however, that first made agreements and then walked away from them.
