⚡️ Заявление МИД России о повторном предостережении иностранных граждан и дипломатов от нахождения в Киеве и вблизи объектов военного назначения на Украине (3 октября 2026 года)
 
🔊 Аудиокомментарий М.В.Захаровой

МИД России повторно информирует, что в ответ на террористические действия ВСУ против мирного населения и гражданской инфраструктуры нашей страны Вооружённые Силы Российской Федерации продолжают системно наносить последовательные удары по объектам военного назначения в Киеве и других украинских городах.

Российская сторона заблаговременно призывала находящихся в Киеве иностранных граждан и дипломатов покинуть город, отказаться от посещения Украины, а жителей страны — не приближаться к объектам военной и административной инфраструктуры.

Данное предупреждение содержалось в Заявлении МИД России от 25 мая 2026 года, вербальных нотах в адрес зарубежных партнёров и прозвучало на брифинге для дипломатического корпуса заместителя Министра иностранных дел России М.Ю.Галузина 27 мая 2026 года.

Рекомендации не ездить на Украину неоднократно давали собственным гражданам и власти целого ряда государств, включая США, Британию, страны ЕС, Норвегию, Швейцарию. Последний раз — в августе этого года.

Констатируем, что не все прислушались к данным предостережениям и осознанно подвергают свои жизни смертельной опасности. В Киеве работают многие посольства, на Украину с визитами направляются иностранные официальные лица.

Вооружённые Силы Российской Федерации продолжат наносить массированные удары возмездия.

❗️ МИД России повторно предостерегает иностранных граждан, включая персонал дипломатических миссий, от пребывания на Украине и поездок на её территорию.

Ответственность за возможные негативные последствия целиком и полностью лежит на тех, кто игнорирует это предупреждение.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement reiterating warnings to foreign nationals and diplomatic personnel against remaining in Kiev or near military facilities in Ukraine (October 3 , 2026)

The Russian Foreign Ministry reiterates that, in response to terrorist attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine against Russia’s civilian population and infrastructure, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to carry out systematic and sustained strikes against military targets in Kiev and other Ukrainian cities.

The Russian side has previously called on foreign nationals and diplomatic personnel located in Kiev to leave the city and refrain from travelling to Ukraine. Russian authorities have also urged Ukrainian residents to stay away from military and administrative facilities.

These warnings were conveyed in the statement issued by the Russian Foreign Ministry on May 25, 2026, as well as through diplomatic notes addressed to foreign partners. They were also reiterated by Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin during a briefing for members of the diplomatic corps on May 27, 2026.

The authorities of a number of countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, European Union member states, Norway, and Switzerland, have repeatedly advised their citizens against travelling to Ukraine, most recently in August of this year.

We note with concern that not everyone has taken these warnings into account and that some individuals are knowingly placing themselves in mortal danger. A number of foreign embassies continue to operate in Kiev, and foreign officials continue to visit Ukraine.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will continue to carry out large-scale retaliatory strikes.

❗️ The Russian Foreign Ministry once again urges foreign nationals, including personnel of diplomatic missions, to refrain from remaining in or travelling to Ukraine.

Responsibility for any possible adverse consequences lies entirely with those who choose to disregard this warning.

🚀 On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union opened humanity’s path to the stars!

#OTD, the Space Age officially began: the world’s first artificial satellite – Sputnik 1 – entered Earth’s orbit.

At 10:28 pm Moscow time, an R-7 launch vehicle, developed under the leadership of the outstanding Soviet rocket engineer Sergey Korolev, lifted off from the Tyuratam launch site (later named Baikonur). Just over five minutes later, the satellite separated from the rocket and transmitted its world-famous signals: “Beep! Beep!”

📰 On October 5, 1957, Soviet newspaper Pravda reported:

On October 4, 1957, the USSR successfully launched the first satellite.

The satellite is currently following an elliptical orbit around Earth, and its flight can be observed in the light of the rising and setting Sun using the simplest optical instruments.

Updates on the movement of the first artificial satellite, launched in the USSR on October 4, will be broadcast regularly by radio stations.

🛰 An aluminium sphere 58 centimetres (~23 inches) in diameter, weighing 83.6 kilograms (~184 pounds), with four antennas and two radio transmitters – this was humanity’s first envoy in orbit. Behind its simple exterior lay the immense efforts of Soviet scientists, engineers and workers.

Sputnik completed an orbit around Earth roughly every 96 minutes, and radio enthusiasts worldwide picked up its famous signals.

Its radio transmitters operated for about three weeks, while the satellite itself remained in orbit for 92 days. During that time, it completed 1,440 orbits around Earth, travelling some 60 million kilometres (~ 37.3 million miles). Its flight ended on January 4, 1958, when it entered the dense layers of the atmosphere and burned up.

The historic launch validated the calculations and technical solutions needed to reach space. Observations of the satellite gave scientists new data on the density of the upper atmosphere and the propagation of radio waves through the ionosphere.

🌐 Sputnik 1 was a triumph of Soviet science and engineering – an achievement for all humanity. It proved that the path beyond Earth was open – paving the way for Yuri Gagarin’s flight, the exploration of the Moon and other planets, and the construction of orbital stations.

For 6️⃣9️⃣ years, satellites have served humanity. Today, they are essential to everyday life: they provide communications and television broadcasting, help us navigate, forecast the weather and monitor climate change.

☝️ But the first was ours. Forever. #Sputnik1

🎙 News conference by Russia’s G20 Sherpa Denis Agafonov following the third Sherpa meeting on preparations for the G20 Summit (Washington, D.C., October 2, 2026)

Key points:

• A series of events, expert meetings and ministerial industry dialogues were held ahead of the G20 Summit in Miami scheduled for December 2026.

• Largely based on the agreements reached during the industry dialogue by the United States, a draft declaration has been developed that will likely be called the Doral Declaration, as custom has it.

• Our meeting focused mainly on the work on this declaration. The discussion helped identify both converging views and areas of disagreement.

• Before the summit convenes, both the presiding party and the sherpas are to find ways to reach consensus and agree on the matters that the country leaders could approve in December in Miami.

• We support the United States’ ambition to produce a finalised and approved document.

• I believe that right now, we are moving in the right direction towards a final declaration that will reflect the actual key economic problems and potential solutions.

#Agenda

• We share the United States’ view that the Group of Twenty shall return to its origins and focus on macroeconomic issues. Our positions are close on many industry-specific topics as well as on energy. However, there are certain matters that should certainly be considered in a slightly different light.

#Geopolitics

• Of course, the geopolitical context occasionally arises in the discussion and it currently has a broad geography, but overall, the dialogue is well-balanced and non-confrontational.

#RussiaG20

• On Russia’s Side, the heads of federal executive bodies at the ministerial level participated in almost all the events concerning the four priorities, which reaffirms our attention and our understanding of the importance of the G20 format.

• The business aspect of Russia-US cooperation within the Group of Twenty can be described as currently being on pause.

• The decision on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s participation in this year’s G20 Summit in Miami will be made closer to the event.

• Russia intends to participate in the G20 events in Britain in 2027.

#SouthAfrica

• The decision [not to invite South Africa to the G20 Summit] is without authority. We insist on South Africa’s immediate reinstatement.

• During the recent BRICS summit, participants adopted the New Delhi Declaration, which contains a specific paragraph <...> on interaction within the Group of Twenty and clearly articulates the stance of all #BRICS countries on solidarity with South Africa.

• We hope that common sense will prevail and South Africa will participate in further events.

#Poland

• US officials have spoken of Poland’s potential participation in the G20. <...> This matter requires the consensus of all G20 countries.

#AI

• The G20, being a framework that consolidates various points of view, could be an appropriate platform for discussing artificial intelligence.

Greetings on Teacher’s Day

I would note that, as of this year, the special status of the educator has been enshrined at state level. This reflects the high public regard for the teacher’s mission and guarantees both the necessary support and new opportunities for professional growth and development.

Professional skills competitions also play a major role. They not only help to support and recognise outstanding, talented educators but also, crucially, facilitate the sharing of innovative, highly effective, and cutting-edge practices, thereby raising the overall quality of education,

the President noted, in part.

🇷🇺 5 октября в зале приема посетителей консульского отдела Посольства России в Австралии открылась фотовыставка «Крымское золото: «цивилизованная» Европа грабит российские сокровища».
 
Она подготовлена Российским военно-историческим обществом и посвящена уникальным крымским артефактам, обнаруженным в ходе археологических экспедиций. Коллекция включает оружие и доспехи, украшения, ритуальные предметы и орудия быта различных культур. Ее основу составляют драгоценные украшения III - II вв. до н. э., найденные в Усть-Альминском городище в Бахчисарайском районе Крыма.
 
🏛️ Долгие годы эти экспонаты входили в собрания четырех музеев полуострова – Керченского и Бахчисарайского историко-культурных заповедников, Национального заповедника «Херсонес Таврический» и Центрального музея Тавриды.
 
В 2013 г. крымские музеи заключили договоры с Боннским университетом и голландским музеем Алларда Пирсона, входящим в структуру Амстердамского университета, на проведение выставки «Крым: золото и тайны Черного моря». В музее Нидерландов было выставлено более 580 артефактов (порядка 2 тыс. различных предметов).
 
❗️После воссоединения Крыма с Россией голландская сторона вопреки контрактным обязательствам отказалась вернуть коллекцию музеям-владельцам. В 2023 г. Верховный суд Нидерландов постановил передать ее Украине.
 
Сегодня эти экспонаты незаконно удерживаются киевским режимом и его европейскими покровителями.
 
11 марта 2026 г. Следственным комитетом Российской Федерации возбуждено уголовное дело о хищении и невозвращении культурных ценностей в отношении должностных лиц органов власти Королевства Нидерландов, Украины и археологического музея Алларда Пирсона Амстердамского университета.
 
‼️Россия будет добиваться возвращения крымской коллекции на Родину.

☢️ Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP):

⚡️ On October 4, Laboratory and amenity building No. 2 at the Zaporozhskaya NPP was attacked by two Ukrainian UAVs. The building is located approximately 200 metres from reactor units 4 and 5.

Two further Ukrainian UAV attacks targeted the radioactive waste processing building.

There were no casualties. The roof was damaged. These attacks have posed no threat to nuclear safety.

❗️ Strikes on such facilities are potentially dangerous.

The proximity of the laboratory and amenity building to the reactor units creates a risk of damage to nearby infrastructure and puts personnel at risk. Attacks on the radioactive waste processing building could damage equipment and disrupt the safe handling of radioactive materials.

Plant personnel remain in control of the situation. Safety parameters are monitored around the clock. Radiation levels at the plant site and within the sanitary protection zone remain within prescribed limits.

The absence of a threat to nuclear safety following these attacks does not diminish the danger posed by strikes on the ZNPP territory.
