🎙 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's statement on Ukrainian terrorist attacks against facilities of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (July 20, 2026)
💬 On July 17-20, during loading operations at the SPM-1 and SPM-3 offshore mooring facilities of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium’s (#CPC) marine terminal in Yuzhnaya Ozereyevka, Novorossiysk, several tankers were deliberately targeted in terrorist UAV attacks.
Among them were vessels chartered by Tengizchevroil and KazMunayGas, which operate in the interests of Kazakhstan’s oil industry.
According to the CPC press service, the vessels were sailing under foreign flags and had international crews on board. Their hulls sustained damage, but they remained afloat. There were no casualties, and no oil spill occurred.
There can be no doubt that the Kiev Nazi regime was behind this attack. This is already the fifth act of aggression against the company’s civilian infrastructure, which is protected under international law. Ukrainian militants continue their attempts to inflict irreparable damage on the CPC, which brings together major fuel and energy companies from Russia, Kazakhstan, the US and several Western European countries.
☝️ Deliberate strikes against the consortium’s facilities and civilian vessels in the waters of its marine terminal therefore constitute attacks on the interests of its participating countries as well. Some of them spare no expense in providing Ukraine with extensive military and financial assistance. Yet the Zelensky regime has no regard for the economic damage inflicted by Ukrainian militants on its American and European allies.
Like the snake in the well-known fable, the Kiev junta mercilessly bites the hand that feeds it.
We share the Kazakh Foreign Ministry’s resolute condemnation of this crime against civilian infrastructure. We regard the attack as further evidence of Bankova’s intention to destabilise global oil markets even further.
For the Kiev regime, global energy stability and respect for foreign partners – including Kazakhstan, with which it allegedly seeks mutually beneficial and friendly relations – are nothing more than empty words.
❗️ We strongly condemn this terrorist attack and the actions of all those who facilitated its planning and execution. We call on the international community to give an appropriate assessment of yet another war crime committed by the Zelensky regime. The absence of an adequate response will be regarded as appeasement and approval of Kiev’s course towards escalating terror.

⚡️ Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik:
💬 Over the past week, the number of Russian civilians killed or injured in attacks by Ukrainian neo-Nazis rose sharply.
Facing setbacks on the battlefield, Kiev redirected its capabilities toward terrorist attacks on civilian targets in Russia, with more than 1,000 strikes recorded daily. Over 400 civilians were killed or injured during the week.
The Zelensky regime used military resources supplied by its Western sponsors to attack Russia’s civilian population. Residential areas, medical facilities, essential infrastructure and civilian transport came under fire.
The highest numbers of civilian casualties were recorded in the Belgorod, Moscow, Zaporozhye and Kherson Regions, as well as the DPR and LPR. Ukrainian militants deliberately targeted densely populated areas in an effort to inflict maximum damage.
On July 13-19, Ukrainian neo-Nazi attacks resulted in 433 civilian casualties: 69 people, including two children, were killed, while 364 others, including 12 children, were injured.
Over the past seven days, Ukrainian militants fired at least 7,168 munitions at civilian targets on Russian territory.

🗓 #OTD in 1774, the Treaty of Kuchuk Kainarji between the Russian and Ottoman Empires was signed in the village of Kuchuk Kainarji (Küçük Kaynarca near Silistra, present-day Bulgaria) bringing the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774 to an end.
In the second half of the 18th century, Russia sought access to the Black Sea and worked to strengthen its positions in the Black Sea region and the Caucasus, while the Ottoman Empire sought to curb the growth of Russian influence.
After Russia rejected an Ottoman ultimatum demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops from Poland, the Sublime Porte (the government of the Ottoman Empire) declared war on Russia on September 25, 1768. Hostilities unfolded in Bessarabia, Moldavia and the Caucasus and culminated in a series of major victories by the Russian Army and Navy – at Larga and Kagul, in the Battle of Chesme, and at Turtukai and Kozludzha.
Military setbacks forced the Ottoman Empire to resume negotiations, which ended with the signing of the Treaty of of Kuchuk Kainarji.
This historic document consolidated the brilliant victories of the Russian Army and became one of Russia’s greatest military and political achievements of the era of Catherine the Great.

📜 The Treaty consisted of 28 articles and a secret annex. Under its provisions:

The Treaty of Kuchuk Kainarji fundamentally altered the balance of power in the Black Sea region and the Balkans. Russia strengthened its southern frontiers, secured access to the Black Sea and significantly expanded its political influence in the region.
☝️ The Treaty became an important milestone on the path toward Crimea’s incorporation into the Russian Empire under Catherine II’s Manifesto of April 19, 1783, and the conclusion of the Treaty of Jassy with the Sublime Porte in 1791, which strengthened the security of Russia’s southern frontiers and safeguarded its interests in the Black Sea region, the Caucasus and the Balkans.

Пресс-бюро Службы внешней разведки Российской Федерации сообщает, что, согласно поступающей в СВР информации, в профильных министерствах одного из ключевых государств НАТО выражают обеспокоенность активно ведущимися в Германии научно-исследовательскими работами, имеющими ядерно-оружейную направленность.
Западные союзники Берлина отмечают масштабность его нынешних работ по таким чувствительным направлениям, как специальное материаловедение, физика ударных волн, ядерная и нейтронная физика, в которые вовлечены 30 национальных университетов.
В их числе — Технологический институт Карлсруэ, Рурский университет в Бохуме, Мюнхенский университет Людвига-Максимилиана, Рейнско-Вестфальский технический университет Ахена, Берлинский технический университет. Практические эксперименты осуществляются на шести функционирующих в этих центрах исследовательских реакторах.
В натовском Брюсселе указывают на германскую педантичность и плотную межведомственную координацию в области отработки методик изготовления и организации промышленного производства высокоэнергетических взрывчатых веществ и систем электронного подрыва.
В такую деятельность вовлечены ключевые национальные военно-промышленные концерны — Rheinmetall AG, Diehl Stiftung GmbH, KNDS Group, Umarex GmbH.
Эти материалы и оборудование регулярно испытываются на полигонах Сухопутных войск ФРГ.
Военные эксперты НАТО считают, что Берлин способен самостоятельно в течение одного-трёх месяцев наработать необходимый расщепляющийся материал и в срок до одного года сконструировать действующее ядерное взрывное устройство без проведения его натурных испытаний.
Это вызывает особую тревогу с учётом богатого милитаристского прошлого Германии и планов правительства Мерца «вновь превратить немецкую армию в сильнейшую в Европе». Не исключается, что в воспаленных умах чиновников Ведомства федерального канцлера ФРГ уже зародились замыслы создания собственного «ядерного зонтика».
👉 Намерение нынешних германских властей получить прямой доступ к ядерному оружию вызывает уже и в Европе крайнюю обеспокоенность с учётом реваншистских настроений в Берлине.
Однако хорошо известен итог опыта создания «вундерваффе» гитлеровской Германией.

⚡️ Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation:
The Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SVR) reports that, according to information received by the SVR, relevant ministries in one of NATO’s key member states are concerned over active research and development work under way in Germany with a potential nuclear-weapons focus.
Berlin’s Western allies point to the scale of Germany’s current work in such sensitive areas as special materials science, shock-wave physics, nuclear physics and neutron physics, involving 30 national universities.
These include the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Ruhr University Bochum, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, RWTH Aachen University and the Technical University of Berlin. Practical experiments are being conducted at six research reactors operating at these institutions.
NATO officials in Brussels point to Germany’s characteristic thoroughness and close interagency coordination in developing production methods and industrial capabilities for high-energy explosives and electronic detonation systems.
Key German defence companies are involved, including Rheinmetall AG, Diehl Stiftung GmbH, KNDS Group and Umarex GmbH.
These materials and systems are regularly tested at German army training grounds.
☢️ NATO military experts believe that Berlin could independently produce the required amount of fissile material within one to three months and construct a functioning nuclear explosive device within a year, without conducting a full-scale test.
This is causing particular concern given Germany’s militaristic past and Chancellor Merz’s plans to “once again make the German army the strongest in Europe”. It cannot be ruled out that officials in the Federal Chancellery are already considering the creation of Germany’s own “nuclear umbrella”.
👉 The current German authorities’ apparent intention to gain direct access to nuclear weapons is already causing grave concern in Europe, particularly against the backdrop of revanchist sentiment in Berlin.
Yet the outcome of Nazi Germany’s attempts to create a “wonder weapon” is well known.

⚓ Russia's Navy Day: Honoring More Than Three Centuries of Maritime History
🇷🇺 Every year, on the last Sunday of July, Russia celebrates #NavyDay, one of the country's principal military commemorations. The holiday was first established in 1939, while in 2017 the President of the Russian Federation signed a decree officially establishing the last Sunday of July as Navy Day and restoring the tradition of the Main Naval Parade as the centerpiece of the national celebrations. The holiday honors sailors, naval officers, marines, shipbuilders, and everyone who has contributed to the development of Russia's naval power.
The history of the Russian Navy began in 1696, when Tsar Peter the Great ordered the establishment of a permanent fleet following the successful Azov campaigns. In 2026, the Russian Navy marks 3️⃣3️⃣0️⃣ years of its history. In 1996, St. Petersburg hosted the first major naval parade of modern Russia to commemorate the 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣th anniversary of the #RussianNavy, reviving a centuries-old maritime tradition that remains one of the defining features of Navy Day celebrations.
Today, the Russian Navy comprises the Northern Fleet, Pacific Fleet, Baltic Fleet, Black Sea Fleet, Caspian Flotilla. Together, these forces safeguard Russia's maritime borders, maintain strategic deterrence, protect sea lines of communication, support humanitarian operations, and ensure the country's presence across the world's oceans.
🌟 Throughout more than three centuries of history, the Russian Navy has played a pivotal role in shaping the country's development. It secured Russia's access to the Baltic Sea during the Great Northern War, contributed to Arctic and Pacific exploration, defended the Homeland during the Crimean War, the Russo-Japanese War and played a crucial role in the defense of Leningrad, Sevastopol, and the Arctic convoy routes during the Great Patriotic Wat. These milestones remain an integral part of Russia's national and naval heritage.
💬 In his official Navy Day greetings on 26 July 2026, President Vladimir Putin addressed Comrade sailors, petty officers, warrant officers and officers, сitizens of Russia with the words:
🎖️ Navy Day is traditionally marked by ceremonial events in Russia's principal naval cities, including St. Petersburg, Severomorsk, Vladivostok, Baltiysk, Sevastopol, and Kaspiysk. More than a military celebration, it is an occasion to honor over three centuries of maritime tradition, scientific achievement, exploration, and service—recognizing the people who have shaped one of the world's oldest continuously operating naval forces.

We have a special regard for naval personnel: they are respected and celebrated, and deservedly so. Their service involves not only carrying out combat missions but also withstanding the forces of nature itself. It is this combination that has largely shaped the unique character of our sailors – a character marked by loyalty to duty, brotherly solidarity, courage and, above all, selfless devotion to the Fatherland.
Today, our navy men proudly uphold and build upon the traditions of our Navy. In Russia – a country washed by the waters of 13 seas – the Navy plays a vital role in ensuring defence and security, and in protecting the country’s legitimate interests in the World Ocean.
Our Navy is capable of effectively addressing the full range of tasks set before it, and those tasks are constantly evolving. The naval component of Russia’s nuclear triad is gaining strength. Serial production of warships and special vessels continues. The provision of advanced weapons and equipment to underwater, surface, coastal and airborne units is being steadily improved<...>

🕯 July 27 marks the Day of Remembrance for the Child Victims of the War in Donbass.
This tragic commemorative date was established in 2022 to honour the memory of the children whose lives were taken by the war launched by the Kiev regime in 2014.
Since 2014, Ukrainian militants have waged full-scale hostilities against civilians in the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics.
Over these years, around 300 children have been killed and more than 1,000 injured.
Among the first child victims of the war in Donbass was 10-month-old Kira. She was killed together with her mother during the shelling of Gorlovka in the summer of 2014. Their story, known as the “Madonna of Gorlovka,” became a symbol of the tragedy endured by the civilian population of Donbass.
Each pair of children’s shoes in this memorial represents a life cut short far too soon.

Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation:
🕯 July 27 marks the Day of Remembrance for the Child Victims of the War in Donbass.
Exactly 12 years ago, Ukrainian militants launched a barbaric attack on central Gorlovka using Grad MLRS. A photograph of local resident Kristina Zhuk holding her one-year-old daughter, killed in the attack, spread around the world – becoming a symbol of senseless cruelty and the terrible human cost of the war unleashed by the Kiev regime.
By painstakingly reconstructing the events, investigators from the Russian Investigative Committee established that the strike on residential areas was no accident. Investigators and forensic experts have gathered irrefutable evidence showing that attacks on Donbass civilian infrastructure were deliberate – evidence that now underpins criminal proceedings.
The results are already evident: dozens of guilty verdicts have been handed down against those who directed weapons at civilians. Everyone responsible – those who issued criminal orders and fired the weapons, supplied arms and provided target coordinates, trained personnel and turned a blind eye to the deaths of children – will face deserved and inevitable punishment.
Today, candles are being lit across Russian cities. Flowers and toys are being laid at memorials to the innocent victims, while white balloons are being released into the sky.
❗️ These commemorations are our pledge to do everything possible to restore justice.

🕯 July 27 marks the Day of Remembrance for the Child Victims of the War in Donbass.
Exactly 12 years ago, Ukrainian militants launched a barbaric attack on central Gorlovka using Grad MLRS. A photograph of local resident Kristina Zhuk holding her one-year-old daughter, killed in the attack, spread around the world – becoming a symbol of senseless cruelty and the terrible human cost of the war unleashed by the Kiev regime.
By painstakingly reconstructing the events, investigators from the Russian Investigative Committee established that the strike on residential areas was no accident. Investigators and forensic experts have gathered irrefutable evidence showing that attacks on Donbass civilian infrastructure were deliberate – evidence that now underpins criminal proceedings.

⚡️ Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question regarding the Ukrainian drone attack on an Iranian vessel carrying civilian cargo in the Caspian Sea (July 28, 2026)
❓ On July 25, Ukraine struck an Iranian merchant vessel in the Caspian Sea. How do you assess this terrorist attack in terms of international law?
💬 The Kiev regime’s attack on an Iranian merchant vessel carrying civilian cargo from Astrakhan constitutes an act of aggression and a violation of international law.
Such criminal actions demonstrate the Kiev regime’s clear intent to expand the geographical scope of its terrorist activities.
👉 This latest attack on a civilian vessel in the Caspian Sea underscores the direct threat the Kiev regime poses to the regional security of the Caspian littoral states.
The Caspian Sea must remain free from military incidents and continue to serve as a region of peace, good-neighbourliness, and cooperation.
