#KievRegimeCrimes
⚡️ Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik:
💬 Over the past seven days, criminal actions by Ukrainian militants in violation of international humanitarian law resulted in the deaths of at least 52 civilians, including five children. Kiev-controlled formations fired approximately 8,500 munitions at civilian targets in the Russian Federation.
On October 6, Ukrainian formations deliberately struck International Committee of the Red Cross (#ICRC) trucks and a humanitarian aid warehouse in Donetsk – an act of barbarity that violated international agreements and immunities. The Ukrainian armed forces carried out the drone strikes at night, which was the only reason no ICRC personnel were injured. The ICRC’s Moscow office stressed that humanitarian personnel and vehicles bearing the organisation’s emblem must be “respected and protected”.
The highest numbers of civilian casualties over the week were recorded in the Belgorod, Bryansk, Zaporozhye, Kursk and Kherson regions, as well as the DPR and LPR.
From October 5-11, attacks by Ukrainian neo-Nazis resulted in at least 326 civilian casualties: 274 civilians were injured, including 11 minors, and 52 were killed, including five children.
In total, Ukrainian armed formations fired approximately 8,527 munitions at civilian targets on Russian territory.

🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s remarks in response to a media question about real threats to freedom of navigation for civilian vessels and global food security (October 13, 2026):
❓ Question: On October 6, crude oil tanker Aframax RIO en route from Novorossiysk to India was attacked by unmanned surface vessels in the Black Sea off the coast of Sochi. The Zelensky regime is deliberately escalating tensions in an attempt to disrupt navigation in the Black Sea and to undermine international economic cooperation. Why has the problem exacerbated at this particular point and is there any chance to resolve it by agreeing on an energy ceasefire or negotiating a new Black Sea deal?
💬 Maria Zakharova: Indeed, the Kiev regime is deliberately carrying out such attacks in order to destabilise global energy and food markets.
This is just another terrorist attack carried out by the Ukrainian military against civilian merchant vessels, which is apparently intended to compensate for the failures of Ukrainian militants on the battlefield. Since January, the Ukrainian military has carried out over 250 indiscriminate strikes against vessels carrying crude oil, grain, and other non-military cargoes. <...>
In response to Kiev’s relentless terrorist activity, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are implementing a comprehensive set of systematic measures to suppress the Ukrainian military combat capabilities, including by striking vessels and port infrastructure involved in military logistics.
I would like to emphasise that, as long as only the Russian-flagged vessels and foreign vessels operating in the interests of Russian economic operators were targeted in the Black Sea, freedom of navigation was not widely covered either by the West or the relevant international organisations. <...>
Our counterattacks which targeted exclusively facilities linked to the Kiev regime’s military-industrial complex have come as a painful blowback for Kiev. This explains why Zelensky and his handlers are seeking ways to mitigate the intensity of Russian military strikes. Their objective is clear: under the formal pretext of concern for global food security, they seek to secure a protected maritime route for supplying the Ukrainian military with weapons and to create yet another instrument for exerting political and economic pressure on Russia. <...>
As we know from our own experience, concluding memorandums and declarations without establishing effective implementation mechanisms is unlikely to meaningfully improve the situation. Kiev regularly violates the agreements it signs. <...>
Consider, finally, the Black Sea Grain Initiative of 2022-2023, which NATO countries used as a cover for supplying weapons to the Ukrainian military. <...>
Those now calling for achieving normalised navigation in the Black Sea are overlooking the key point: the current food security challenges are a direct consequence of Kiev’s actions, while its sense of impunity and the absence of consequences stem from the West’s irresponsible policies. <...>
Russia is a responsible and, without any exaggeration, critical participant in the global food market. Ukraine’s share of that market, by contrast, should not be overstated. To give just two examples, Russia accounts for around 26 percent of global wheat exports, compared with just 6 percent for Ukraine, and 20 percent of barley exports, compared with 5 percent for Ukraine.
☝️ Moreover, up to 70 percent of Ukrainian agricultural products go primarily to the EU and other Western countries that are by no means poor. <...>
Our friends and partners from the Global Majority countries know that Russia has never shied away from substantive dialogue on promoting global food security.
We are convinced that, at this stage, the most effective immediate measure would be to exert collective international pressure on Kiev as the main source of instability. This could produce more tangible results in the near term.

🎙 Remarks by Russia’s Ambassador to Australia Mikhail Petrakov on the Australian media’s coverage of the Ukraine conflict (14 October 2026)
💬 We have been witnessing what looks like a well-organised campaign in the Australian media against the Russia-US arrangement on diesel sales. The media and various experts portray the neo-Nazi Kiev regime as a “dove of peace”, seeking de-escalation and a diplomatic settlement – and hence, in the Western logic, in need of more weapons and military assistance. <…>
☝️ For when we call it neo-Nazi, it is not a figure of speech. It was this particular type of extremists who came to power in Kiev following the violent coup d’état in 2014. The regime started spreading Nazi ideology, destroying everything Russian, killing thousands of Russians in Donbass, in the war which lasted eight years, until the special military operation began.
Today, the Kiev regime is conducting a campaign to repatriate from abroad and rebury the remains of Ukrainian Nazi collaborators such as Bandera, Shukhevych and other notorious Nazi henchmen. <…> Their remains are to be placed in a so-called “Ukrainian national pantheon” in the territory of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, a site sacred to all Orthodox Christians (throwing out all monks living there).
❓Curiously enough, when someone says they admire Hitler, they are called Nazis; but when the entire Ukrainian state glorifies Nazi collaborators as national heroes, it is called in the West a “manifestation of democracy”. <…>
On 25 June, the regime announced that it would “bring Russia to its knees” and began attacking our civilian facilities – oil refineries, marketplace warehouses and others. <…> This serves no conceivable military purpose but fits perfectly into the logic of barbaric brutality and the campaign of terror unleashed and pursued by Zelensky.
On 20 September – the day Russia was holding parliamentary elections – the regime launched massive drone and missile attacks against Moscow and other cities, targeting polling stations and electoral commissions, killing some of their members. This is the way the Kiev Nazis fight for democracy.
<…> When we talk about Kiev’s lies, the case of faking events in the town of Bucha comes to mind. This is the place from which a BBC film crew streamed a story in April 2022, showing dozens of dead bodies lying on the sidewalks. The thing is, it was done three days after Russian troops withdrew from the town, and its mayor confirmed this in the video message (without mentioning the bodies). <…> That story was used to manipulate international public opinion and fuel yet another wave of anti-Russian hysteria in the West.
📑 We investigated it thoroughly. The results are reflected in the report “Heirs of Goebbels: Falsification of the Events in Bucha and Bloody Staged Performances of the Kiev Regime” published by the International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis. The title of the report speaks for itself. The truth is that during the time that the town was under the control of the Russian armed forces, not a single local resident suffered from any violent action. But who in the West cares about truth?
⁉️ Will the Australian media and experts have enough decency to be objective and present the full picture, including the facts about the true nature of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi regime Russia is fighting and the atrocities it has committed against Russia and its citizens? There is plenty of information available. It does not take much to be honest.

#МыПомним
📅 14 октября 1943 года произошло восстание в Собиборе — единственный успешный за весь период Второй мировой войны массовый побег узников гитлеровских «фабрик смерти».
Восстание в лагере Собибор возглавил советский военнопленный, лейтенант Красной армии Александр Печерский. Советский офицер совершил настоящий Подвиг — всего за несколько недель ему удалось разработать план побега, сплотить вокруг себя, казалось, отчаявшихся, обречённых на гибель измождённых узников и вдохновить их на бой с врагом.
***
◼️ В годы Второй мировой войны Германией было создано порядка 14 тысяч концентрационных лагерей. Среди них наиболее печальную известность получили т.н. лагеря смерти, куда гитлеровцы сгоняли своих жертв именно с целью их последующего уничтожения.
Одной из таких «фабрик смерти» был #Собибор, развёрнутый на юго-востоке оккупированной нацистами Польши (недалеко от реки Западный Буг и польско-советской границы). Лагерь был развёрнут на железнодорожном перегоне (между городами Хелмом и Влодавой).
Узников свозили в Собибор целыми вагонами и с одной единственной целью — убивать. Лагерь был превращён в настоящий конвейер по умерщвлению людей. Ежедневно в Собибор прибывали до шести эшелонов с заключёнными (как военнопленными, так и гражданскими — стариками, женщинами, детьми).
Своих жертв в Собиборе нацисты травили газом, морили голодом, добивали непосильным трудом. Над людьми проводили бесчеловечные медицинские опыты. Доставляли в лагерь для последующих пыток и издевательств пленных из Австрии, Чехословакии, Франции и других стран. В июне 1943 года в Собибор из Нидерландов ушли два специальных «детских» поезда. В сентябре 1943 года в Собибор прибыла группа советских военнопленных из Минского распределительного лагеря.
За всё время существования Собибора нацистами в нём было уничтожено, по разным данным, до 250 тысяч узников.

⚔️ 14 октября 1943 года в Собиборе вспыхнуло восстание под началом лейтенанта Александра Печерского.
Бросившие вызов врагу узники вступили в неравный бой. Смяв надзирателей-эсэсовцев буквально голыми руками, пленные ринулись к центральным воротам, несмотря на пулемётный огонь с вышек.
❗️Ничто не могло остановить людей, стремившихся вырваться из гитлеровского рабства.
В результате восстания около 300 человек сумели бежать из этого ада на земле. Многие выжившие, которым удалось спастись, вступили в ряды сопротивления и продолжили борьбу с фашистскими захватчиками. Сам Печерский примкнул к белорусским партизанам, а в 1944 году вновь бил врага на фронте в составе штурмового батальона.
Восстание в Собиборе стало олицетворением несокрушимости человеческой воли и силы духа, в буквальном смысле символом победы добра над нацистским злом. Не в силах вынести позор и пытаясь сокрыть следы своих преступлений против человечности, руководство СС приказало разрушить лагерь до основания.
Совершённые в Собиборе преступления стали частью обвинений против нацистов на Нюрнбергском трибунале. В марте 1962 года в Киеве перед судом предстали 11 охранников, служивших в Собиборе и Треблинке. В качестве свидетеля выступил сам Александр Печерский. Все подсудимые были приговорены к смертной казни.

Сегодня Фонд Александра Печерского вместе с Российским военно-историческим обществом, музеями и другими организациями делают всё для того, чтобы память о подвиге узников Собибора бережно сохранялась и передавалась молодым поколениям.

📅 #OTD in 1943, an uprising broke out at #Sobibor — the only successful mass escape by POWs from Nazi “death factories” during #WW2.
The Sobibor uprising was helmed by Alexander Pechersky, a Soviet POW, lieutenant of the Red Army, held among others in Sobibor. The Soviet officer performed a truly heroic feat — just in a few weeks, he managed to devise an escape plan, rally other prisoners and inspired them to fight the Nazis.
◼️ During #WWII, Germany established around 14'000 'death camps'. Among them, the so-called death factories became infamous as places where the Nazis herded their victims for the one purpose — annihilation.
Sobibor was among such “death factory”, established in the south-east of Nazi-occupied Poland, near the Western Bug River and the Polish-Soviet border. The camp was built alongside the railway line between the towns of Chełm and Włodawa.
POWs were transported to Sobibor in entire railway carriages, for one sole purpose — to be killed. The camp was turned into a veritable 'assembly line' for the mass murder of human beings. Each and every day, up to six trains carrying POWs arrived at Sobibor, including prisoners of war and civilians — elderly people, women and children.
At Sobibor, the Nazis starved their victims and exploited them to death. Inhuman medical experiments were conducted on POWs. People from Austria, Czechoslovakia, France and other countries were brought to the camp to be tortured. In June 1943, two special trains carrying children arrived at Sobibor from the Netherlands. In September 1943, a group of Soviet POWs arrived from the Minsk transit camp.
According to various estimates, the Nazis exterminated up to 250'000 POWs at Sobibor during the camp’s existence.

⚔️ On 14 October 1943, an uprising broke out at Sobibor under the leadership of lieutenant Alexander Pechersky.
The POWs, who dared to challenge the enemy, engaged in an unequal battle. Overpowering 'SS' guards with their bare hands, prisoners rushed towards the main gate despite machine-gun fire from the watchtowers.
❗️Nothing could stop exhausted people determined to break free from Nazi enslavement.
As a result of the uprising, around 300 people managed to escape from the sheer hell on earth. Many of those who survived and made it to freedom joined the resistance movement and continued fighting the Nazis. Pechersky himself joined the Belarusian partisans and, in 1944, returned to the front, fighting the enemy as part of an assault battalion.
The #SobiborUprising became a testament to the unbending human will and strength of spirit — a symbol of the triumph of good over Nazi evil.
The crimes committed at Sobibor formed part of the charges brought against the Nazis at the Nuremberg Trials. In March 1962, eleven guards who had served at Sobibor and Treblinka stood trial in Kiev. Alexander Pechersky himself testified as a witness. All the Nazi criminals were sentenced to death.
Today, the Alexander Pechersky Foundation, together with the Russian Military Historical Society, museums and other organisations, is doing everything possible to ensure that the memory of the heroic feat of the Sobibor prisoners is carefully preserved and passed on to future generations.

Every day, more than 1'000 people of various nationalities were exterminated in the camp’s gas chambers. <...>
The Germans referred to this camp as a “button factory” and a “thread factory”...

✉️ On October 14, President of Russia Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to the participants, organisers and guests of the 9th Russian Energy Week International Forum.
✍️ The message reads, in part:
#REW2026
✍️ The message reads, in part:
In keeping with the established tradition, representatives of government authorities, leading companies and the scientific and expert communities from Russia and abroad will discuss the current state and prospects for the development of global energy.
They will also advance modern approaches to enhancing the infrastructure of the fuel and energy sector, as well as promoting the widespread introduction of advanced equipment and technologies into production processes.
The key themes of the Forum’s business agenda this year focus on new energy and fundamental changes in the oil and gas markets amid geopolitical challenges. Significant attention will also be paid to the crucial issue of training qualified personnel for the sector. The growth of national economies and the enhancement of people’s quality of life depend to a large extent on the successful fulfilment of these tasks.
In today’s world, the expansion of international dialogue and cooperation in the fuel and energy sector, including ensuring the safety of logistics routes, takes on particular importance. We trust that discussions on the key issues of this meeting will continue at the 8th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum, which will be held in Moscow at the end of October this year.
I am confident that the substantive programme of Russian Energy Week will facilitate a comprehensive analysis of developments in the energy industry, and that the proposals and initiatives put forward will find practical application.

🎙 Statement by Russian MFA Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik during the dialogue with UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk at a plenary meeting of the Third Committee of the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly (New York, October 14, 2026)

💬 We expect an impartial and well-grounded assessment of events from the High Commissioner for Human Rights, but we are not getting one.
The methodology used by OHCHR to collect and verify data, particularly on Ukraine, raises very serious questions.
In practice, OHCHR leaves data verification to third parties. Questionable conclusions are then drawn from distorted information – but issued in the name of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
You blatantly ignore civilian casualties on the Russian Side, claiming that 95% of civilian casualties occur in territory controlled by Kiev. At the same time, you attribute nine out of ten crimes involving sexual violence to Russia, without the slightest basis.
👉 How can there be any talk of objectivity in these circumstances?
There is little point in analysing the reports of the so-called UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine. Every quarter, it presents the world with increasingly absurd conclusions based on unreliable data.
But what can you expect from a body established under a bilateral agreement between Kiev and OHCHR back in 2014, funded by generous contributions from Western donors and receiving information exclusively from Kiev?! Does anyone believe it is impartial?
❗️ Meanwhile, attacks by Ukrainian militants since 2022 alone have resulted in more than 36,400 civilian casualties, including 9,141 deaths – and we are ready to substantiate these figures.
Mr High Commissioner, do you not think there is now an urgent need for an open discussion at the intergovernmental level of the methodology used by the UN, and OHCHR in particular, to collect and verify data?
☝️ I hope such a step could at least partly restore States’ trust in you, High Commissioner, and in the Office you head.

🎙️ Russia’s Ambassador to Australia Mikhail Petrakov’s remarks on the glorification of Nazi collaborators in Ukraine
💬 Today, the Kiev regime is conducting a campaign to repatriate from abroad and rebury the remains of Ukrainian Nazi collaborators such as Bandera, Shukhevych and other notorious Nazi henchmen. Their names may be unfamiliar to Australians but are well known in Russia, Belarus, Poland, where their atrocities and mass murders are well remembered. Their remains are to be placed in a so-called “Ukrainian national pantheon” in the territory of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, a site sacred to all Orthodox Christians (throwing out all monks living there).
🤔 Curiously enough, when someone says they admire Hitler, they are called Nazis; but when the entire Ukrainian state glorifies Nazi collaborators as national heroes, it is called in the West a “manifestation of democracy”.

🎙 Ответы на вопросы СМИ Министра иностранных дел Российской Федерации С.В.Лаврова по итогам VII саммита СВМДА (Баку, 15 октября 2026 года)
Ключевые тезисы:
• Запад всячески цепляется за свою гегемонию, которая безнадёжно и бесповоротно ускользает, и нарушает, как я уже сказал, всё, о чём договаривались в рамках системы глобализации, активно продвигавшейся Западом.
• Насчёт дизельной сделки. Эта сделка была предложена. Мы её поддержали. Но Зеленский заявил уже не раз, по-моему, публично: «Не надо ко мне приставать с этой дизельной сделкой. Дайте лучше ракеты к системе Patriot. Мне нужно продолжать бить по российскому энергетическому сектору, в том числе по нефтеперерабатывающим заводам». То, что это такой прямой вызов, причём грубый, в адрес Президента США Д.Трампа, который эту сделку активно поддержал и публично об этом не раз высказывался. По-моему, все это уже понимают. И в полной мере осознают, что подобное поведение стало обычным для Зеленского, который считает, что весь мир ему должен, а он никому ничего не обязан делать взамен. Ни на какие конструктивные действия, которые были бы по-настоящему честными и равноправными, он идти не готов.
• Исходим из того, что цели специальной военной операции определены, в отличие от позиции Запада по украинскому кризису, которая меняется регулярно на 180 градусов или, как бывшая министр иностранных дел ФРГ А.Бербок в своё время сказала, на 360. Наша позиция никогда не менялась.
• Зеленский уже чётко дал понять, что выборы его не интересуют, потому что он обставил это такими условиями, которые заведомо неприемлемы. Никакого прекращения огня для того, чтобы его опять «привели в чувство» и накачали оружием не будет.
• После Анкориджа в августе 2025 года, где именно долгосрочный подход был положен в основу американских предложений, которые мы поддержали, происходит постоянный откат западных инициатив и идей на позиции, только отдаляющие нас от устойчивого мира, от достижения переговорного решения, переговорной договорённости. 👉 Значит, всё будет решаться на основе действий наших Вооружённых сил, как об этом неоднократно говорил Президент Российской Федерации В.В.Путин, при всей нашей готовности к нормальным, вменяемым, честным переговорам.

🏔 #OTD in 1814, Mikhail Lermontov – one of Russia’s greatest poets – was born in Moscow. His poetry spoke of love and loneliness, freedom and devotion to his Motherland with an intensity that continues to resonate with modern readers. 212 years after his birth, he remains one of the best-loved figures in Russian literature.
Lermontov was born into a noble family and lost his mother in early childhood. Raised by his grandmother, Elizaveta Arsenyeva, at the Tarkhany estate (in what is now the village of Lermontovo in the Penza Region), he received a broad education at home before attending Moscow University’s boarding school for noble boys and then the University itself. By the age of 14, he was already writing poetry.
The young poet also developed a lifelong passion for painting. From his childhood in the Penza Region to his visits to the Caucasus for treatment at the mineral springs of what is now Pyatigorsk, he found inspiration in the world around him. Working with pencil, watercolour and oils, he captured landscapes, portraits and scenes of everyday life. At times, impressions he first put on canvas resurfaced years later in his poetry.
✍️ During his lifetime, Lermontov wrote around 400 poems and 30 narrative poems, as well as plays and prose. Among his most famous works are Borodino, The Sail, The Demon and The Novice (Mtsyri), the four-act play Masquerade and his most celebrated novel A Hero of Our Time.
In 1837, the death of Russia's greatest poet Alexander Pushkin in a duel prompted Lermontov to write Death of the Poet. Both a tribute to Pushkin and an indictment of the society he blamed for his death, the poem was copied by hand and passed from reader to reader. It brought Lermontov widespread recognition – and the anger of the imperial court. He was arrested and sent to serve in the Caucasus.
Proud, sensitive and sharp-witted, Lermontov could be unsparing in his criticism of society and showed considerable courage as an army officer. His attachment to the Caucasus began with childhood visits and lasted throughout his life. Its mountains, people and legends inspired some of his finest writing.
🕯 On July 27, 1841, a fatal duel near Pyatigorsk cut his life short at just 26. Yet even at that young age, Lermontov had created works that would secure his place in the pantheon of Russian literature.
Lermontov's figure stands on the Millennium of Russia monument (unveiled in 1862), towns, streets and theatres bear his name. Monuments honour him in Russia and abroad; even a crater on Mercury and an asteroid are named after him.
📖 His most enduring memorial, however, is his writing – still read, recited and loved by generations.

🎙 Remarks by Russian MFA Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik at an informal Arria-formula meeting of UN Security Council members on “Addressing blind spots in violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law in the context of the Ukrainian crisis: a focus on the actions of the Ukrainian armed forces” (New York, October 14, 2026)
Read in full
Broadcast of the entire meeting
💬 In the Kiev-controlled frontline areas, an entire network of “secret prisons” has been established, euphemistically referred to as “transit camps” in reports by international human rights organisations. Human rights defenders know about them but have no access to them.
As a rule, these facilities are concealed within guarded compounds of Ukrainian formations, which neither foreign inspectors nor human rights defenders are officially permitted to enter.
⚠️ There, sadists, militants and security personnel concealed behind masks and balaclavas operate with impunity on behalf of Ukrainian agencies such as the Main intelligence directorate (GUR), the Security service of Ukraine (SBU) and other investigative bodies.
Each is tasked with using any means necessary to “extract” the desired testimony from a captive or force them to cooperate under threat of death.
***
The total number of civilians killed or injured at the hands of Ukrainian militants since February 2022 has now exceeded 36,000. This figure rises by 300-400 every week.
As of the beginning of last week, the number of civilians killed by Kiev’s formations stood at 9,089.
There has also been a catastrophic increase in deliberate attacks by Ukrainian militants on children.
❗️ Since the beginning of this year alone, 484 children have suffered injuries or been maimed. 72 of them have died. In August alone, 101 children were killed or injured.
***
Kiev has resorted to crimes previously considered beyond the pale even by the most hardened monsters.
The allocation of vast sums specifically for Ukraine to purchase drones of various types has unleashed a war on transport targeting the civilian population.
Alongside crimes already routinely committed by Kiev’s militants, such as attacks on private vehicles, there are now systematic strikes on high-capacity passenger buses.
***
For at least three years, Kiev’s armed formations have been striking the long-suffering city of Alyoshki every hour.
For three years, shelling has left the city without electricity or a centralised water supply, and with virtually no communications.
Almost every attempt to restore communications infrastructure is soon followed by a devastating strike from the Ukrainian side.
Despite their professed concern for the people of Alyoshki, Ukrainian militants have mined every access road to the city.
👉 Drones constantly patrol the two main roads, striking any vehicle attempting to reach the city – from private cars to ambulances.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to media questions following the 7th #CICA Summit (Baku, October 15, 2026)
Key points
• The West is clinging in every way it can to its hegemony, which is slipping away irretrievably and irrevocably, and is violating, as I said before, everything that was agreed upon within the globalisation system, which the West itself strongly promoted.
• As for the diesel deal, it was brought to the table, and we supported it. But Zelensky has said publicly on several occasions, “Stop bothering me about this diesel deal. Give me Patriot system missiles instead for I need to keep striking Russia’s energy sector, including its oil refineries.” This is a direct and, moreover, crudely worded challenge to US President Donald Trump, who has actively supported this deal and spoken publicly about it on several occasions. I think everyone understands this by now. They are also fully aware that such behaviour has become typical of Vladimir Zelensky, who believes that the whole world owes him, while he owes nothing to anyone. He is unwilling to take any constructive steps that would be genuinely fair and based on equality.
• We operate on the premise that the objectives of the special military operation have been clearly defined which fact stands in contrast to the West’s position on Ukraine, which regularly makes 180 degree turns or, as former German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock once put it, 360 degree turns. Our position has never changed.
• Zelensky has already made it quite clear that he is not interested in holding elections and surrounded the whole idea with conditions that are patently unacceptable. There will be no ceasefire that would make it possible for him to regain his senses and be once again supplied with more weapons.
• Since the Anchorage summit in August 2025, where a long-term approach formed the basis of the US proposals that we supported, Western initiatives and ideas have been constantly backtracking on the positions that only take us further away from sustainable peace and a negotiated settlement. Consequently, everything will be decided by our Armed Forces on the battlefield, as President Putin has repeatedly made clear, notwithstanding our continued readiness for normal, meaningful, and honest talks.
