🎙 Remarks and answers to questions by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the session “A New Global Architecture: An Open Dialogue with Sergey Lavrov” during the Federal Educational Marathon “Znanie. Pervye” (Yekaterinburg, September 16, 2026)
💬 Sergey Lavrov: The philosophy of equality, which is becoming increasingly prevalent in today’s world, is particularly characteristic of #BRICS, the latest Summit of which has just taken place in New Delhi.
The countries within this group represent a wide range of civilisations, yet demonstrate #unity in their pursuit of greater opportunities for shared development – to ensure their peoples’ prosperity and security, without harming anyone else or advancing at anyone else’s expense.
☝️ Russia is fully committed to this approach, which also characterises other groupings of a new type, including the #SCO, #CIS, #EAEU and #CSTO.
👉 Unfortunately, the objective process of strengthening multipolarity faces aggressive resistance from our Western colleagues and their elites.
They continue to view these developments as a threat to the dominance they enjoyed for five hundred years – through slavery and colonialism. They are trying to preserve their slipping supremacy by resorting to the most unscrupulous methods, including unlawful ones: unilateral sanctions, direct pressure, interference in domestic affairs and instigation of conflicts.
***
Key points:
• The adaptation of international relations to multipolar realities is an objective process. The #GlobalMajority wants it to succeed, although it will take time and may span an entire historical era.
• We envisage a #MultipolarWorld as one in which small and medium-sized countries are free from blackmail, threats and sanctions, where all such countries are respected and can choose their own partners.
• For us, the Ukrainian conflict resolution requires achieving the objectives set at the beginning of the special military operation, which are aimed at eliminating the root causes of the crisis. These include plans to bring NATO and its military infrastructure right up to Russia’s borders, as well as Ukraine's official state policy, enshrined in law, of eradicating everything Russian.
• I would welcome nationally minded political forces coming to power in European countries. What the Brussels bureaucracy is doing – appropriating powers and rights that essentially belong to national governments – violates, first and foremost, the EU’s own rules.
• We did not sever our relations with Europe – Europe did. We now have all the markets and partners we need. Despite the hybrid war against Russia, things are progressing as well as can be expected under the circumstances.
• As in previous years, we are seeing particularly pronounced attempts by the West to interfere directly in our citizens’ exercise of their voting rights and in the election campaign. This is especially evident abroad, but such attempts are also taking place within Russia.
• If and when European countries wish to resume a serious dialogue, we will first listen to what they have in mind and what they can offer, and then decide whether it is acceptable to us.
• If Europe, which speaks daily about preparing for war against Russia, attacks the Russian Federation, it will be an entirely different war. And it will be a very short one.
❗️ I hope this warning has been heard in European capitals and by the institutions now attempting to speak for a united Europe.

⚡️ The International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis has published a report “Heirs of Goebbels: Falsification of the Events in Bucha and Bloody Staged Performances of the Kiev Regime”, presenting its findings on the Bucha hoax, and how the Kiev regime and its Western sponsors through mainstream media support falsified the events of what occurred in Bucha in 2022.
The Tribunal brings together civil society representatives from 35 countries. Drawing on Ukrainian media reports, memorial records and eyewitness testimony, the publication debunks the claim that the individuals commemorated at the Bucha memorial were civilians killed by Russia's Armed Forces.
Key findings:
▪️ Military personnel presented as civilian victims
The report identifies Ukrainian servicemen and combatants listed among the memorial’s “civilian victims”.
Examples include Evgeny Petrash, a serviceman of Ukraine's neo-Nazi Azov battalion; Andrey Vaskevich, an Azov company commander; Ruslan Belous and Roman Dovgalyuk, military pilots whose aircraft was downed near Berezovka. Other entries include a sniper of Ukraine's 80th separate air assault brigade Oleg Tsimbal, members of territorial defence units, airborne formations and military intelligence.
▪️ Discrepancies in the location and cause of death
A number of people commemorated at the Bucha memorial died elsewhere. Ukrainian sources place the deaths of a number of servicemen near Vorzel, Moshchun, Kopylov and other settlements.
The report also cites 68-year-old Galina Semenyuk, who died of cancer but somehow appears on the memorial. Such cases highlight the need to establish each person’s circumstances of death before presenting the entire list as “civilian victims killed by the Russian military”.
▪️ Witness accounts of shelling and manipulated coverage
The publication includes 16 witness accounts from Avdeevka, Ugledar, Dzerzhinsk and other towns and cities. Witnesses recount Ukrainian attacks on residential areas followed by the arrival of journalists, coverage blaming Russia, and pressure on residents to repeat that account.
***
The Tribunal’s conclusion is unequivocal: the material it has collected points to blatant falsification of events in Bucha by the Kiev regime with Western support, alongside a broader practice of killing civilians to produce footage blaming Russia.
☝️ The cases presented in this publication form only part of the evidence assembled by the Tribunal.

#KievRegimeCrimes #BuchaHoax
⚡️ On September 17, the International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis presented its report “Heirs of Goebbels: Falsification of the Events in Bucha and Bloody Staged Performances of the Kiev Regime”.
💬 Excerpts from the opening remarks by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:
• Let me stress once again: the Kiev regime’s Western sponsors stood behind this fabrication. They were dissatisfied with the Russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul, which were progressing rapidly towards concrete agreements and an early end to the conflict. These Western countries – and, of course, Britain was at the heart of this little gang – were not merely unhappy with the talks. They needed to derail them, and that is exactly what they did.
• As the political talks were being derailed, dozens of bodies seemingly appeared in Bucha, a suburb of Kiev. What do I mean by “seemingly appeared”? They appeared when the media showed them. The first reports did not come from residents or neighbours unable to find their friends or loved ones at home or worried that they had not heard from them. Nothing of the sort happened. The story first emerged in the media – and from the outset, it was clearly framed to blame Russia.
• Over the years, in various forums, in person and in writing, the Russian Federation repeatedly appealed to the UN Secretary-General. He and his colleagues had visited Bucha on several occasions, at what they described as the crime scene. We demanded lists of the people to whom they had supposedly paid their respects. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres never provided them. Yet he repeatedly claimed – including while looking Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in the eye – that an investigation had been conducted and that they held some confidential information. This further convinced us that this was more than a provocation by the Kiev regime – it was a global information campaign.
• The Ukrainian authorities built an entire memorial to what they call the “Bucha massacre”, yet never circulated a list of the victims of this proclaimed “tragedy” on which they had staked so much. The Ukrainian delegation routinely circulated all kinds of material as official documents: photographs, videos, lists and more. Yet in this case, no list was circulated.
❗️ This is unquestionably a fabrication.

Специализированный курс русского языка для военнослужащих Шри-Ланки
В Русском доме в Коломбо стартовал специализированный курс русского языка для военнослужащих Шри-Ланки. В церемонии запуска приняли участие Посол России Леван Джагарян, руководитель Русского дома Мария Попова, а также полковник Вооруженных сил Шри-Ланки Невил Аттанаяка.
Инициатива по организации курса исходила непосредственно от ланкийской стороны — соответствующая просьба поступила около трех месяцев назад.
Русский дом оперативно отреагировал на обращение и в короткие сроки подготовил специальную программу обучения. Курс разработал куратор Лиги русистов, старший педагог Русского дома Феликс Фернандо, адаптировав содержание занятий непосредственно под профессиональные интересы и потребности слушателей.
В обучении примут участие 20 ланкийских военнослужащих. Курс рассчитан на полтора года, занятия будут проходить каждую пятницу по восемь часов.
Интерес ланкийской стороны к изучению русского языка обусловлен прежде всего практическими задачами. Российские туристы входят в число наиболее значимых туристических потоков Шри-Ланки, поэтому возможность эффективно общаться с российскими гражданами и обеспечивать их безопасность имеет для ланкийских служб особое значение.
При этом ланкийская сторона отмечает и возрастающую роль русского языка в современном мире, его востребованность и значение для международного профессионального взаимодействия. Именно поэтому изучение русского языка рассматривается как важное и перспективное направление.
В Русском доме рады поддержать эту инициативу и открыть новое направление языкового образования. Желаем всем слушателям успехов, интересного обучения и уверенного продвижения в русском языке! 🇷🇺🤝🇱🇰

⚡️ Russian Foreign Ministry statement on retaliatory measures in response to the European Union’s twenty-first “package” of anti-Russian sanctions (September 18, 2026)
💬 The EU continues to pursue a policy of unilateral restrictive measures that is illegitimate under international law. On July 23, the EU Council approved its twenty-first “package” of anti-Russian sanctions aimed at inflicting damage on our country.
In response to the EU’s unlawful decisions, Russia has substantially expanded the list of representatives of EU institutions, EU member states and several other European countries supporting Brussels’ anti-Russian policy who are banned from entering our country under Federal Law No. 114-FZ of August 15, 1996, “On the Procedure for Exit from and Entry into the Russian Federation”.
🚫 The list includes individuals:
• involved in decisions to provide military assistance to the Kiev regime;
• engaged in activities aimed at undermining the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation;
• responsible for imposing anti-Russian sanctions;
• responsible for damaging Russia’s relations with third countries;
• responsible for obstructing maritime shipping serving Russia’s interests;
• involved in persecuting Russian citizens on fabricated grounds;
• involved in establishing pseudo-legal anti-Russian “mechanisms” within the Council of Europe;
• advocating the unlawful seizure of Russian state assets or the use of profits generated by them.
Russia has also imposed restrictive measures on “civil activists” and academics in European countries who take a hostile anti-Russian stance, as well as members of EU national parliaments and the European Parliament who voted for anti-Russian resolutions and legislation.
Despite Brussels’ destructive policy, Russia will remain firmly committed to its foreign policy course, aimed at defending national interests, safeguarding the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens, and helping shape a fair #MultipolarWorld.
❗️ Any further moves by the EU to expand its unilateral anti-Russian sanctions will continue to meet with an appropriate response from Russia.

⚡️ Russian MFA Statement on the resolution “Nuclear Safety, Security and Safeguards in Ukraine” of the 70th session of the IAEA General Conference (September 18, 2026)
On September 17, the 70th session of the IAEA General Conference considered and voted on the draft resolution “Nuclear Safety, Security and Safeguards in Ukraine”, prepared by Canada and Ukraine.
The ritual submission of this politicised document, which calls into question our country’s territorial integrity, at the annual sessions of the IAEA General Conference has become an obligatory element of the efforts by Kiev and its Western handlers to undermine the Agency’s stable and effective functioning.
❌ As before, the majority of delegations did not support the initiative.
Alongside Russia, a number of states voted against the draft, while others abstained. Several dozen more IAEA member states refused to take part in this Western-orchestrated farce, signalling their rejection of the anti-Russian text by sitting out the vote.
❗️ We condemn this latest clumsy attempt by a small group of Western countries to use the Agency to advance their political objectives in violation of its strictly technical mandate.
This anti-Russian initiative by Western states is especially cynical given Ukraine’s relentless attacks on Russia’s Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP), its staff and their families, and the plant’s host city of Energodar.
Instead of finally reining in the increasingly brazen Zelensky regime, these countries continue to shield it from accountability for its reckless actions and encourage further adventurism. Clearly, the resolution’s sponsors have no real interest in nuclear safety, nuclear security or IAEA safeguards. Their sole aim is to settle political scores with our country.
The resolution is not only openly provocative but also goes far beyond the Agency’s Statute.
☝️ Like previous documents of this kind, we regard it as legally and politically null and void. It will have no consequences under international law. None of its provisions will be implemented.
Russia will continue to ensure the safety and security of the ZNPP in accordance with its national legislation and international obligations.
