#KievRegimeCrimes

⚡️ Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik:

💬 The Kiev regime has reached a new peak in escalating attacks against civilians since the start of 2026. Over the past week, 277 civilians were affected by the deliberate actions of Ukrainian militants, with 43 killed. The average number of daily strikes reached 677 munitions.

The deliberate strike on the Moscow-Simferopol regular passenger bus in the DPR was the most tragic in terms of consequences. The war crime claimed the lives of 8 civilians and left 12 others wounded.

Using drone attacks, Kiev militants attempted to block transport links along the highways connecting settlements in Crimea, the DPR, and the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. Their goal was to create unbearable living conditions in these regions and intimidate the civilian population.

The Nazis have firmly embarked on the path of nuclear terrorism, carrying out a series of deliberate attacks on a radiation-hazardous facility – the Zaporozhskaya NPP.

On June 1-7, 277 civilians suffered from shelling by Ukrainian Nazis: 234 were wounded, including 18 children, and 43 were killed. In total, Ukrainian militants fired at least 4,743 munitions at civilian facilities.

📜 #OTD, 3️⃣5️⃣4️⃣ years ago, Peter the Great (1672-1725) was born – the first Emperor of All Russia – an outstanding reformer and statesman who shaped the course of our country for centuries to come.

Peter was the first son of Tsar Alexey Romanov and his second wife Natalia Naryshkina. From an early age, the young Tsarevich was distinguished by a keen mind, curiosity and a thirst for practical knowledge: he eagerly mastered crafts, studied military affairs and learned foreign languages.

From an early age, Peter showed a particular fascination with military affairs above all else. For the Tsarevich’s games, a “toy army” was formed from among his peers. Over time, these childhood pursuits grew into a true school of military training: it was from these “toy regiments” that Peter’s famous reformed army emerged, while the troops themselves became elite Guards units – the Preobrazhensky and Semyonovsky regiments.

In 1682, after the death of Tsar Fyodor Romanov, ten-year-old Peter was proclaimed Tsar together with his elder brother Ivan V. However, he came to independent rule only in 1689 – after Tsarevna Sophia, who had served as regent for the young rulers for seven years, was removed from power.

In spring 1697, Peter’s famous Grand Embassy set off for Western Europe, where it remained until summer 1698. Its task was to strengthen ties with European powers, seek allies for the future struggle against the Ottoman Empire and Sweden, study military, engineering and shipbuilding practices, invite foreign specialists into Russian service, and purchase the necessary weapons, equipment and goods.

The European experience left an indelible impression on the young Tsar. Upon returning to Russia, Peter launched a sweeping set of reforms aimed at strengthening the state, the army and the entire system of government.

Among the key reforms were:

• Military reform – the creation of a regular army and navy of a new type.
• Government reform – the establishment of the Senate, collegia and a new system of central government bodies.
• Church reform – the creation of the Holy Synod, which strengthened state control over church administration.
• Estate reform – the introduction of the Table of Ranks, which opened the way for advancement in state service not only by birth, but also by personal merit.
• Education reform – the opening of new schools, the development of technical and military education, and the invitation of foreign specialists.
• Calendar reform – from 1700, the New Year in Russia began to be celebrated on January 1.

One of the defining trials of Peter’s era was the Northern War of 1700-1721. In its confrontation with Sweden, Russia secured access to the Baltic Sea, created a powerful fleet and established itself as one of Europe’s leading powers.

The outcome of the Great Northern War shifted the balance of power in Europe: Sweden permanently lost its former influence, while Russia gained reliable access to global trade routes. In 1721, after the conclusion of the Treaty of Nystad, Peter was proclaimed Emperor of All Russia, Father of the Fatherland and the Great.

To this day, leading historians in Russia and abroad continue to discuss Peter's legacy, the change he has brought to Russia.

☝️ One thing remains beyond dispute: the scale of his personality and his impact on the course of Russia's history cannot be denied. It was under Peter the Great that our country made a historic leap forward, entering the ranks of the great powers.

👉 Moreover, without Peter the Great, there would have been no “northern capital of Russia” and one of the most beautiful cities in the world – St Petersburg – founded in 1703 and still bearing the sovereign’s name.
