🗓 10 июля состоялся 5-й международный телемост «Преступления киевского режима: террор в отношении гражданского населения Херсонской области», организованный Послом по особым поручениям МИД России Р.В.Мирошником и Делегацией Российской Федерации на переговорах в Вене по вопросам военной безопасности и контроля над вооружениями и её руководителем Ю.Д.Ждановой.

👉 Выступление Посла по особым поручениям МИД России Р.В.Мирошника

В мероприятии приняли участие Уполномоченный по правам человека в Российской Федерации Я.В.Лантратова, губернатор Херсонской области В.В.Сальдо, представители Международного комитета красного креста, дипломаты, политические и общественные деятели, эксперты и журналисты из порядка 80 государств.

В ходе телемоста впервые были представлены систематизированные данные о преступлениях вооружённых формирований Украины (ВФУ) в отношении мирных жителей Херсонской области: статистика, показательные примеры преступных деяний киевского режима, свидетельства пострадавших и очевидцев, которые приняли личное участие в мероприятии и поделились с международной аудиторией рассказами о пережитых трагедиях.

В настоящее время на долю Херсонской области приходится около четверти всех украинских ударов по российским объектам гражданской инфраструктуры (только в июне по территории региона выпущено более 6,5 тыс. боеприпасов). Как следствие, повреждено или разрушено более 10,5 тыс. частных и многоквартирных жилых домов, не менее 112 строений, относящихся к медицинским или образовательным учреждениям, не считая объектов энергетической, транспортной инфраструктуры и иных сооружений социального значения.

Линия боевого соприкосновения проходит непосредственно по херсонской земле, что позволило режиму Зеленского развернуть полномасштабный террор в отношении мирных жителей: создание невыносимых условий для жизни гражданского населения в зоне досягаемости украинских орудий и попрание прав тех, кто оказался в районах, временно удерживаемых ВФУ.

❗️ В результате, за период с февраля 2022 года по июнь 2026 года в Херсонской области ранено и погибло 4,4 тыс. мирных жителей, включая 130 детей. Против этих людей используется вооружение, поставляемое Киеву странами-членами НАТО и Евросоюза.

Участники дискуссии констатировали, что украинская и западная пропаганда пытается скрыть преступления боевиков ВФУ в Херсонской области, что лишь обостряет необходимость доведения полной и достоверной информации о преступных деяниях киевского режима до международного сообщества и профильных гуманитарных организаций.

Высказано требование о необходимости незамедлительной объективной международно-правовой оценки происходящего в Херсонской области.

🗓 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.

⚡️ Russia’s Federal Security Service:

As a result of a comprehensive set of operational search, counterintelligence and intelligence measures, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation has thwarted an attempt by the Ukrainian special services, acting with the direct involvement of their Western handlers, to carry out what it describes as an unprecedented series of sabotage and terrorist attacks using unmanned aerial vehicles against military infrastructure facilities, one of the country’s leading defence industry enterprises, and Russian Defence Ministry servicemen.

Specifically, the FSB has obtained advance intelligence indicating that the Ukrainian special services had infiltrated the Bryansk Region with FPV drones equipped with warheads and mobile ground control stations, concealed in containers carried by fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles and aerostats, in preparation for large-scale terrorist attacks on military airfields in the Amur and Chelyabinsk regions.

According to the FSB, the means intended for the attacks were subsequently transported deeper into Russian territory by enemy agents in passenger vehicles with trailers fitted with concealed double floors and loaded with household appliances. They were allegedly delivered to the vicinity of the Ukrainka Airbase (Amur Region) and the Shagol Airbase (Chelyabinsk Region), where they were assembled and prepared for use in rented garages.

The FSB states that every unlawful action was kept under close operational surveillance by the Russian security services and thoroughly documented.

As a result of operational and combat measures, the alleged perpetrators of, and accomplices in, the planned terrorist attacks have been detained.

❗️The FSB reports that officers seized 24 FPV drones equipped with neural network-based guidance modules resistant to electronic warfare systems and manufactured in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Sweden. The drones were fitted with warheads containing explosive charges weighing more than one kilogramme. Also seized were two mobile drone ground control stations capable of operating via satellite, cellular, Wi-Fi and radio communications, equipped with self-destruct devices containing 250 grams of explosive each, as well as communications equipment allegedly used to communicate with Ukrainian handlers.

The FSB Investigative Directorate has initiated appropriate procedural measures.

#AntiFake

Ahead of the summer vacation season in Russia, foreign-agent disinformation outlets attempted to revive a repeatedly debunked fake story about alleged “exit visas” for Russian citizens. Citing “anonymous sources”, they claimed that the authorities were planning to restrict foreign travel and allow visits to unfriendly countries only in groups of ten or more.

This is false from beginning to end and was fabricated solely to stir up artificial panic. The claim was promptly refuted on the very day it appeared by Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

This fake has a long and worn-out history. Unscrupulous actors in the information space recycle it every few years with only minor changes. 👉 Russia's Foreign Ministry has debunked this falsehood repeatedly, including in 2015, 2020 and 2022.

Once again, the attempt to spread panic failed: the public simply ignored this tiresome fabrication.

***

Here are the facts 👇

The right to freely leave the Russian Federation is guaranteed by Article 27, Part 2 of Russia's Constitution.

Any possible restrictions on departure are regulated by Federal Law No. 114-FZ “On the Procedure for Leaving the Russian Federation and Entering the Russian Federation”. Articles 15 and 15.1 provide an exhaustive list of grounds for temporary travel restrictions. The term “exit visas” appears neither in this key legislation nor in any other legal act.

We stress that consular and visa-related matters are governed by law. Any significant changes are announced through the official resources of the Russian Foreign Ministry and its Consular Department – trust only official sources.

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

💬 Over the past week, Ukrainian militants carried out an average of 850 strikes per day against civilian sites in Russia. More than 310 civilians were killed or injured during the same period.

The militants launched a series of deliberate terrorist attacks targeting civilians and seeking to make daily life unbearable. Passenger transport, including scheduled buses, was repeatedly attacked, along with residential buildings and social and energy infrastructure.

The highest numbers of civilian casualties were recorded in the Belgorod Region, the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, and the Zaporozhye and Kherson Regions.

On July 6-12, Ukrainian neo-Nazi attacks resulted in the deaths of 40 civilians, including one minor, and injuries to 272 others, including 13 children.

In total, Ukrainian armed formations fired at least 5,935 rounds of ammunition at civilian sites on Russian territory.

⚡️ Statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry on the killing of the Chief Engineer of the Zaporozhskaya NPP Alexander Yakovlev by the armed forces of Ukraine (July 15, 2026)

On July 15, Ukraine committed yet another gruesome crime.

A deliberate Ukrainian UAV strike on a Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP) service vehicle tragically killed the plant’s Chief Engineer Alexander Yakovlev, whose professional duties were directly related to ensuring nuclear safety and nuclear security of the facility, which is regularly subjected to Ukrainian attacks and provocations.

◾️ The driver was also killed in the attack. We extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed.

This criminal act by Kiev is yet another attempt to threaten the safe operation of the ZNPP and intimidate its personnel.

The Nazi–Bandera regime is under the illusion that it can pressure our country in this way, while simultaneously blackmailing its Western patrons into providing ever more money and weapons. For their part, Western countries remain prepared to encourage the Ukrainian authorities, regardless of how reckless their actions become, thereby making themselves complicit in the crimes of the Kiev junta.

❗️ The extreme danger posed by the presence of the Ukrainian armed forces near the ZNPP is now more evident than ever.

Against this backdrop, the accusations levelled against Russia over the deployment of the necessary security forces at the ZNPP, including in relevant reports by the IAEA Director General, sound particularly cynical.

Russia will continue to act in pursuit of the objective of protecting the ZNPP from Ukrainian attacks, in accordance with its national legislation and international obligations.

#KievRegimeCrimes

The title of the latest article in the Australian "We train Ukrainians to be better at killing Russians’: ADF troops warn of key shortages" speaks for itself.

It is hate speech directed against the entire ethnic group. It originates from quotes by Australian military personnel training Ukrainian troops. They describe their objective as making their trainees "better at killing Russians" or "best skilled in killing Russians". This murderous narrative, binding together the two words "kill" and "Russians", is spread as something positive by irresponsible journalists. Now it has been enshrined in political circles by Senator James Paterson, Shadow Minister for Defence, who posted the article on his website.

We would like to remind all supporters of the neo-Nazi Kiev regime and trainers of its troops that the Ukrainian army widely uses foreign assistance and skills it receives to murder Russian civilians. There is ample evidence of the crimes of the Kiev junta. Thus, those who continue to equip the regime bear responsibility for the blood of innocent victims.

Making the "kill Russians" narrative acceptable and even commendable in this country dehumanises and puts in danger Australians of Russian origin as well.

How is this consistent with Australia’s recently strengthened hate crimes legislation?

❗️The spread of hate speech against Russians must be stopped.

Заголовок статьи в ведущей газете The Australian «Мы обучаем украинцев лучше убивать русских: военнослужащие Сил обороны Австралии предупреждают о нехватке ключевых ресурсов» говорит сам за себя.

Перед нами – язык ненависти, направленный против целой этнической группы. В статье австралийские военнослужащие, обучающие украинских военных, открыто заявляют, что их цель – сделать своих подопечных «более эффективными в убийстве русских» или «наиболее искусными в убийстве русских». Этот человеконенавистнический нарратив, объединяющий слова «убивать» и «русских», безответственные журналисты преподносят как нечто позитивное. Теперь он зафиксирован и в политических кругах: теневой министр обороны Австралии сенатор Дж.Пэтерсон разместил эту публикацию на своем официальном сайте.

Хотели бы напомнить всем, кто оказывает содействие неонацистскому киевскому режиму, а также занимается подготовкой его военнослужащих, что украинская армия широко использует предоставляемую ей иностранную помощь и полученные навыки для убийства российских мирных жителей. Существует множество доказательств преступлений, совершенных киевской хунтой. Таким образом, те, кто продолжает вооружать и поддерживать этот режим, несут ответственность за кровь невинных жертв.

Когда в Австралии призывы «убивать русских» переводятся в разряд приемлемых и даже заслуживающих одобрения, это дегуманизирует и создает угрозу также для австралийцев русского происхождения.

Как это соотносится с недавним ужесточением австралийского законодательства о преступлениях на почве ненависти?

❗️Распространение ненавистнических высказываний в отношении русских должно быть прекращено.

⚡️ Article by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov “A constant in an era of radical change: On the 25th anniversary of the Russian-Chinese Treaty of Good-Neighbourliness, Friendship, and Cooperation” (July 16, 2026)

Read in full

✍️ Today, as a more equitable #MultipolarWorld takes shape, the multifaceted partnership between Russia and China – two great powers and largest neighbours – stands as a model for interstate engagement founded on equality, a balance of interests, and mutual advantage.

Three decades ago, in a joint summit declaration, Moscow and Beijing first articulated a course towards an equal and trusting partnership oriented towards strategic interaction in the 21st century.

This innovative formula was soon given legal expression in a key bilateral instrument – the Treaty of Good-Neighbourliness, Friendship and Cooperation. Signed in Moscow exactly 25 years ago, on July 16, 2001, by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Jiang Zemin, the Treaty marked the transition from the normalisation of relations in the late 1980s to an entirely new phase: the forging of a strategic tandem of decisive importance not only for our two countries, but also for the maintenance of global peace, security and stability.

***

We can say with complete confidence that the Treaty has played a decisive role in shaping a new model of Russian-Chinese cooperation – one that imposes no constraints on the sovereignty of either party, thereby affording it the necessary flexibility and, consequently, clear advantages over “classical alliances”.

❗️ I should stress that relations between Russia and China are built on an equal footing, are free from ideological dogma, are not directed against third countries, and remain resilient to the influence of external circumstances.

The Treaty established a robust institutional framework for the qualitative enhancement of trade and economic relations.

The economies of our respective states are intrinsically complementary. Indeed, the figures speak for themselves. Over the past quarter-century, trade turnover has increased more than thirtyfold and, for three consecutive years, it has consistently surpassed $200 billion.

***

Over the past twenty-five years, we have managed to considerably enhance mutual foreign policy coordination on international platforms, one of the defining elements of the Russia-China strategic partnership.

This cooperation is founded on a shared assessment of the current geopolitical environment, as well as its future trajectory. Our countries hold closely aligned, and often identical positions on the majority of global and regional issues. These include the preservation of global strategic stability, arms control, efforts to combat terrorism, and other emerging threats and challenges.

☝️ Together with our Chinese counterparts, we advocate for the political and diplomatic resolution of conflicts by addressing their underlying causes. We strongly oppose policies of “regime change”, the application of double standards, and the use of unilateral sanctions.

***

It is safe to say that the Russian-Chinese Treaty of Good-Neighbourliness, Friendship and Cooperation has successfully withstood the test of time.

🤝 Remaining the unshakable foundation of bilateral relations, it fully meets the fundamental interests of our countries for the long-term historical perspective.
