⚡️ Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation:
The Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SVR) reports that, according to intelligence received by the SVR, Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople continues to pursue his treacherous line aimed at splitting global Orthodoxy, guided by the “divide and conquer” principle.
This time, he reportedly seeks to bring the Georgian Orthodox Church under his influence, taking advantage of the passing of Catholicos Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II.
The Phanariote intends to promote to the vacant post a representative of the Georgian Orthodox Church on whom he could rely. Among the candidates for this role, Bartholomew is said to be considering Metropolitan Abraham (Garmelia) of Western Europe and Metropolitan Grigoli (Berbichashvili) of Poti and Khobi. Within his inner circle, he reportedly presents them as the most suitable executors of his will.
Church circles note that lust for power has become a defining trait of the Constantinopolitan schismatic. By his actions, Bartholomew once again replaces “primacy of honour” with “primacy of power”, interfering in the internal affairs of yet another Church – this time, the Georgian Orthodox Church, one of the oldest in the Orthodox world.
It is clear that, as in the cases of Ukraine, Serbia, and the Baltic states, he has forgotten the Second Canon of the Second Ecumenical Council: “The bishops of the dioceses must not extend their authority over the churches beyond the limits of their own diocese...”

Был обсужден широкий круг вопросов международной и региональной повестки, а также затронуты некоторые аспекты двусторонних отношений.
🎙️Андрей Юрьевич Руденко:
🔸 Россия продвигает инициативу Евразийской безопасности, предложенной Президентом В.В.Путиным.
🔸 Россия полностью поддерживает необходимость реформы Совбеза ООН, однако действовать надо осторожно. Сегодня наблюдается размывание инструментов по регулированию международных отношений.
🔸 Иран - жертва не спровоцированного и нелегитимного нападения. Тегеран осуществляет свое право на самооборону. Москва не делится с Тегераном разведданными в отличие от США и Великобритании, которые передают такую информацию Украине для ударов по российской гражданской инфраструктуре.
🔸 Временное снятие санкций на российские энергоресурсы - возможность для Глобального Юга, однако Россия заинтересована в долгосрочном партнерстве, а не спотовых сделках. Такой подход позволит укрепить мировую энергетическую безопасность.
🔸 Россия - единственное государство, обладающее и применяющее уникальные технологии в области мирного атома. Так, плавучая станция обеспечивает энергией сибирские регионы нашей страны.

A broad range of international and regional agenda items were discussed, along with certain aspects of the bilateral relationship.
🎙️ Andrey Rudenko:
🔸 Russia is advancing the Eurasian Security Initiative proposed by President Vladimir Putin.
🔸 Russia fully supports the need for UN Security Council reform, but urges proceeding with caution. A discernible erosion of the instruments governing international relations is currently underway.
🔸 Iran is the victim of an unprovoked and illegitimate attack. Tehran is exercising its right to self-defense. Moscow does not share intelligence with Tehran - unlike the United States and the United Kingdom, which provide such information to Ukraine for strikes against Russian civilian infrastructure.
🔸 The temporary lifting of sanctions on Russian energy resources presents an opportunity for the Global South, however, Russia seeks long-term partnerships rather than spot transactions. This approach will contribute to strengthening global energy security.
🔸 Russia is the only state that possesses and actively employs unique technologies in the field of peaceful nuclear energy. In particular, a floating nuclear power station currently supplies electricity to regions of Siberia.

“Not an Inch Eastward” they said... – what the West promised and what the West did in a nutshell.
To put things in perspective, here's NATO’s expansion over the years. This “defensive” alliance has undergone ten waves of enlargement (or if speaking plainly – ten waves of constant expansion), seven of which occurred after the dissolution of the USSR.
Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has incorporated the following countries, building up their aggressive military potential, sowing anti-Russian sentiment and foisting its confrontational mindset on new and old members alike:
📍 1999: Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland;
📍 2004: Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia;
📍 2009: Albania, Croatia;
📍 2017: Montenegro;
📍 2020: North Macedonia;
📍 2023: Finland;
📍 2024: Sweden.
As of now, the alliance comprises 32 members. On NATO’s so-called Eastern flank, for decades there has been an active buildup of military capabilities.
As a result, the militarization of Europe is unleashed and out of control, with the security architecture and balance that kept the region relatively safe is being dismantled.

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s statement regarding reports of renewed strikes on the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (April 4, 2026)
We are receiving with mounting alarm reports of renewed missile strikes on the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant on April 4. We are reviewing the incoming reports.
❗️We strongly condemn this atrocity, which has resulted in loss of life.
We extend our condolences over the death of one of the plants’s employees who, according to available information, was responsible for ensuring its physical security.
We have taken note of the deep concern expressed by IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi over this attack. He stressed, in particular, that NPPs themselves, as well as the surrounding areas where vital nuclear safety systems may be located, must never become targets of military strikes.
It is clear that his words are addressed to the aggressors, who continue, with reckless disregard and even a certain morbid zeal, to launch direct attacks on Iran’s nuclear energy infrastructure, which is subject to the NPT and Iran’s Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement with the IAEA.
These illegal and reckless actions are an indelible stain on the international reputation of those who direct missiles at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant and other Iranian nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards, and who give the order to strike them. In effect, they have completely destroyed whatever standing they once claimed in the field of nuclear non-proliferation, as well as nuclear safety and nuclear security, thereby making clear that they themselves recognise no rules or restraints.
❗️ We expect that the damage inflicted on the NPT regime by the US and Israeli strikes will be subjected to an impartial and rigorous assessment at the NPT Review Conference opening on April 27.
For its part, Russia is doing everything possible to draw the attention of the international community and the wider global public to the fact that the situation around the Bushehr NPP is moving ever closer to a dangerous line.
The worst can still be avoided. But for that to happen, strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran, including the Bushehr NPP, must cease immediately.
