⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry statement on strikes by the Kiev regime’s militants against Russia’s civilian population (May 25, 2026)

The gruesome UAV attack carried out by the Ukrainian armed forces on the night of May 22 against the academic building and dormitory of a college of Lugansk State Pedagogical University in Starobelsk, LPR, has become yet another glaring testimony to the Nazi and terrorist nature of the Kiev regime, which deliberately strikes civilians and does not stop short of the cold-blooded murder of children.

Zelensky’s junta and its Western sponsors, which supply the Ukrainian military with the means to commit crimes against our people, have demonstrated to the entire world their blatant disregard for international humanitarian law.

This is a direct violation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols regulating the protection of civilians during conflicts, the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, and a number of other important international instruments.

This has exhausted Russia’s patience.

Under the circumstances, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are beginning to deliver consistent, systematic strikes against Ukrainian defence industry enterprises in Kiev, including specific sites used for the design, production, programming and preparation for use of UAVs employed by the Kiev regime with the assistance of NATO specialists responsible for supplying components, providing intelligence data and target designation.

Strikes will also be carried out against decision-making centres and command posts.

❗️ Given that the above-mentioned facilities are dispersed across Kiev:

👉 we warn foreign nationals, including staff of diplomatic missions and representative offices of international organisations, of the need to leave the city as soon as possible,
👉 urge residents of the Ukrainian capital not to approach the military and administrative infrastructure facilities of the Zelensky regime.

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry statement on the conclusion of the NPT Review Conference (May 23, 2026)

The 11th Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (#NPT) completed its work on May 22. Held in New York, it lasted for four weeks and was chaired by Ambassador Do Hung Viet, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the United Nations.

The conference took place against the dramatic deterioration of the regional and global security environment, which is marked by a significant escalation of threats and the growing importance of strong-arm politics in international affairs.

The event demonstrated the existence of stark differences between many state parties to the NPT, which defined the way the debates unfolded and their substance, as well as the conference’s overall outcome.

The aggression by Israel and the US against Iran in June 2025 and February and March 2026 under the far-fetched pretext of defending the nuclear non-proliferation regime became a major stumbling block in terms of achieving the forum’s objectives. This was not the first time the NPT was used as a means of settling political scores and justifying the use of force. However, the latest developments demonstrated that these unprovoked, unjustified and unlawful actions can have disastrous consequences for the NPT. The conference was ill equipped to offer an accurate assessment of the Iran situation.

The delegations of the so-called collective West contributed to creating an unfavourable environment at the conference. They came to New York in the pursuit of their vested political interests which have nothing to do with the NPT or its subject matter. These countries, primarily EU and NATO members, as well as the EU bureaucrats, did everything to undermine productive dialogue by promoting a destructive agenda with a primary focus on criticising Russia, China, Iran and the DPRK.

These European nations with their dual allegiance professed groundless accusations and did everything to evade any justified criticism against them. They were cynical and clumsy in the way they sought to justify their involvement in mechanisms for carrying out nuclear exercises by alleging that these actions help strengthen nuclear non-proliferation. As a result, these countries were completely opposed to discussing any possibilities for adopting a more transparent posture in terms of their involvement in nuclear-related practices which run counter to the NPT.

Unfortunately, those who have been proactive in advocating total and immediate nuclear disarmament were not always ready to accept the present-day military, political and global strategic reality, which did not help promote a constructive and effective discussion on the NPT’s three pillars: disarmament, non-proliferation and the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

***

Supported by responsible states, Ambassador Do Hung Viet worked hard to achieve compromises and succeeded on several occasions. He must take credit for preparing a draft outcome document which came close to being adopted by consensus. However, this document was not submitted to the conference for approval due to the failure to address several specific matters, which was attributable to the hard line adopted by the US and its allies.

☝️ This was how the Chair prevented a new round of political confrontation which would have created a negative backdrop for the next review cycle.

The way the conference completed its work did not come as a surprise. It reflects the overall state of affairs in international relations, including within the NPT framework.

Russia is convinced that the fact that the Conference failed to produce an outcome document does not cast a shadow on the NPT’s relevance. It is and remains the cornerstone of international security and nuclear non-proliferation.

👉 The fact that the NPT review took place is what matters the most.

#БезСрокаДавности

◾️ Кровавая террористическая атака киевского режима на учебный корпус и общежитие колледжа Луганского государственного педагогического университета унесла 21 юную жизнь, ещё более 60 человек получили ранения.

Спустя два дня место трагедии посетила группа иностранных корреспондентов. В их числе не было ни «Би-би-си», которые прямо отказались, ни «Си-эн-эн», сославшихся на отпуск, ни японских журналистов, которым приехать запретил Токио.

Но многие всё же сделали выбор своими глазами увидеть последствия преступления, совершённого ВСУ в ночь на 22 мая. Вот, что они увидели...

#NoStatuteOfLimitations

◾️ The Kiev regime’s gruesome terrorist attack on the academic building and dormitory of the Lugansk State Pedagogical University College claimed 21 young lives (most of them girls born in 2006-2007), with more than 60 people injured.

Two days later, after rescuers had completed their search, foreign correspondents were invited to visit the site of the tragedy. The BBC was not among them – it refused outright. CNN was absent, citing holidays. Japanese journalists did not come either – Tokyo banned them from travelling to Starobelsk.

Many others, however, chose to see with their own eyes the aftermath of the crime committed by the Ukrainian militants on the night of May 22: the ruins, the witnesses, and the hospital where the injured are being treated.

Here is what they saw...

💬 Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:

As you know, CNN did not travel to Starobelsk on May 24, citing logistical reasons.

Yesterday, CNN itself showed what it had been working on while correspondents from around the world were witnessing the aftermath of the horrific terrorist attack by Banderites on the dormitory and academic building of a pedagogical college in the LPR.

CNN correspondent Nick Paton Walsh – arrested in absentia in Russia for taking part in the incursion into the Kursk Region – was filming a propaganda piece on how Kiev carries out drone attacks on Russian cities. The report had been prepared somewhat in advance, but aired on 26 May – four days after the strike on Starobelsk, which claimed more than twenty lives. Neither the anchors’ intro nor Walsh himself said a single word about it.

Instead, CNN ran what was essentially an advertising campaign for the effectiveness of Ukrainian drones: “We're now with perhaps Russia's most keenly sought target in the war, a deep strike Ukrainian drone unit, launching this night a wave of 200. And in Russian Stavropol, these Ukrainian drones hit”.

It is this casually mentioned detail – regarding Stavropol – that suggests Nick Walsh may have been embedded with an AFU militant unit at the very moment when the planned attack on the college in Starobelsk was being coordinated there. After all, Kiev’s drones did indeed strike Stavropol the day before the attack on Starobelsk.

This casts the situation in a different light.

The AFU hires CNN to film the work of its drone killers.

Yet when Russia invites CNN correspondents to see for themselves the consequences of Ukrainian drone attacks – the killing of civilians, including children, and the destruction of civilian infrastructure – the American journalists cite holidays, logistics and so on. At the same time, there is a strong possibility that CNN correspondents were filming preparations for this horrific terrorist attack.

In the channel’s view, its audience apparently does not need to know about the aftermath of the crime.

It is perfectly obvious that this is not journalism.

CNN now has other tasks – propaganda, distortion and manipulation, but certainly not informing its audience.

This is exactly how the Völkischer Beobachter newspaper operated in 1944. Its editorial policy was coordinated by the NSDAP agitation bodies, its staff saluted and praised the “feats of German arms”, and until 1945 it kept telling readers about the Reich’s imminent victory over the USSR and the Allies. Anything that did not fit this picture simply did not exist. After the collapse of the Hitler regime, by decision of the Nuremberg Tribunal, the editor-in-chief of Völkischer Beobachter spent the rest of his life in labour camps.

☝️Today, the Western mainstream is likewise shaping a deliberately distorted vision of the world.

⚡️ Report by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia “On the Human Rights Situation in Ukraine” (May 2026)

Read the full report (PDF)

✍️ The report, alongside daily evidence in the media and online, exposes the scale of Ukraine’s human rights collapse.

First and foremost, the main reason for this degradation is the illegitimate neo-Nazi regime in power in Kiev, which is now quite openly and diligently copying its ideological inspiration – Nazi Germany.

One of many telling confirmations of this was a recent interview with former Ukrainian presidential press secretary Yulia Mendel, in which she said that Zelensky, faced with falling approval ratings, demanded that his subordinates conduct “Goebbels-like propaganda”. With such approaches on the part of the authorities, countless systematic human rights violations in every sphere of public life come as no surprise.

Yet in Ukraine, no one seems concerned. Kiev does not give a thought to the rights of its own citizens, or to the need to create at least some opportunities for them to exercise their lawful rights. Instead, it continues to profit from their blood and deaths.

Recently, the West confirmed new tranches of financial injections and weapons for the Zelensky regime. The monstrous corruption opportunities created by these enormous flows of funds, along with the preservation of power – this is what preoccupies Bankova and its residents. In today’s Ukrainian reality, this means only one thing: continued hostilities “to the last Ukrainian”.

All of this fully confirms what has been noted before: the servile readiness of Kiev’s leadership to sacrifice its country, its people, as well as the history and memory of its authentic past, is precisely why its Western handlers continue not only to turn a blind eye to the neo-Nazi ideology and crimes of the Zelensky junta, but also to justify them and even push Kiev towards ever new crimes.

History knows many such examples of the West nurturing openly racist and fascist regimes. Their unenviable fate is well known – and perhaps that is the only way they secure a place in history. This was discussed at length during the celebrations marking the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

Glorification of Nazism

• At the state level, Ukraine is falsifying history and whitewashing Nazi criminals and fascist collaborators. Members of Ukrainian nationalist military formations from the Second World War – the OUN and UPA – as well as their leaders, have been recognised as fighters for independence. Criminal liability has been introduced for negative assessments of the activities of these structures.

Ban on the Russian language

• The Kiev regime is pursuing a consistent policy of legislatively entrenching the dominant role of the Ukrainian language and reducing opportunities for the use of other languages in public life. The Russian language – native to millions of Ukrainian citizens, not only ethnic Russians, but also Belarusians, Ukrainians, Armenians, Jews, Greeks, Hungarians and representatives of other nationalities – has been subjected to harsh repressions.

Incitement of hatred against Russians and discrimination against them

• Regular efforts have been recorded to promote intolerance towards Russian residents, the Russian language and Russian culture as a whole. Such actions not only met with no condemnation or response from the authorities, but were also carried out by Ukraine’s own leadership. Russophobic statements and calls to kill Russians were regularly heard on air.

Persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church

• A large-scale information campaign was launched against the clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, aimed at discrediting its priests in the eyes of the flock and portraying them as “accomplices of the enemy”. Numerous cases of violent seizures of churches belonging to the canonical Church have been recorded.

⚡️ On May 28, Ambassador of Luxembourg to Russia Thomas Reisen was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The Ambassador was issued a strong protest over the exhumation, carried out in Luxembourg on May 19, of the remains of Andrei Melnik – one of the leaders of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, recognised as extremist in Russia – and his wife, for their subsequent ceremonial reburial in Ukraine.

It was noted that such an event could not have taken place without the consent of Luxembourg’s competent authorities.

Under the guise of returning national “heroes” to Ukraine, the remains of a Nazi accomplice and war criminal, responsible for mass killings of civilians on ethnic grounds, were transported there.

❗️ The Russian Side regards these actions by the Luxembourg authorities as disregard for the historical memory of millions of victims of World War II and complicity in the glorification of Nazis and their collaborators.

In this context, Russia once again pointed to the neo-Nazi nature of the Kiev regime – whose existence is financed exclusively by its Western partners, including Luxembourg – and underscored the validity of the decision to conduct the special military operation.
