⚡️ Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik:
💬 Over the past week, attacks on #Alyoshki and the Alyoshki District resulted in the deaths of two civilians and injuries to 11 others.
The Kiev regime continues its “drone siege” of the city, remotely lays mines on roads and footpaths, and shells the Alyoshki-Radensk “road of death”.
Yet at international forums, Kiev's representatives continue to play on the sympathies of compassionate Europeans by claiming to care about the situation in Alyoshki. They openly lie both about their supposed humanitarian efforts and about the Russian army’s responsibility for the humanitarian crisis in the city.

#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.

🎙 Remarks and answers to media questions by Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov following the CIS Council of Foreign Ministers (Turkmenbashi, October 7, 2026)
💬 Today, we began with bilateral talks with my colleague, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Foreign Minister of Turkmenistan Rashid Meredov. We focused primarily on deepening our strategic partnership, which we consider particularly important, in line with our Leaders’ directives.
🇷🇺🇹🇲 Next year, we will mark the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations, so today we agreed to draw up a programme of events, including exhibitions, the publication of archival documents and cultural events. We will report to Vladimir Putin and Serdar Berdimuhamedov on matters within our remit that require decisions by our Presidents.
We discussed preparations for the #CIS Council of Heads of State meeting, which will open tomorrow evening with a formal reception, followed by the main proceedings on Friday. An environmental Summit of the five Caspian states will take place later that day, after the CIS Summit.
🤝 Rashid Meredov and I praised our cooperation across all areas. We attach particular importance to expanding economic, investment and trade ties. The Intergovernmental Russian-Turkmen Commission on Economic Cooperation is due to hold its next meeting before the end of 2026.
We share the view that historical memory must be preserved, especially at a time when Europe is clearly taking a lax approach to the revival of Nazism in a number of countries, with the acquiescence of their ruling circles. We approved plans to erect a Friendship monument in Ashgabat in gratitude to the city’s residents who welcomed people evacuated from besieged Leningrad during the Great Patriotic War.
We discussed the international agenda, including cooperation within the CIS and in the Caspian region. We proposed developing ties between Turkmenistan and the Eurasian Economic Union. We also invited Turkmenistan to take an active part in work on the Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century.

Key points from the answers to media questions:
• There are positions that never overlap 100 percent in any body or between any two countries in any region of the world. Each country has its own national interests, and diplomatic culture means finding a balance between them. That is precisely what we did at today’s Council of Foreign Ministers.
• President of Russia Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated publicly that the Americans proposed organising talks between Russia, the US and Ukraine, and Moscow agreed on the understanding that we first needed to hold our elections, after which we would agree on the timing, venue, agenda and other details.
• The Kiev regime began doing everything it could to disrupt the State Duma elections. Throughout all three days of voting, it carried out an unprecedented number of terrorist attacks on civilian targets, including polling stations. Several people were injured, and there was even a fatality.
❗️ As for moving from statements to concrete action, that question should be put to others.
• We held bilateral talks with the Ukrainians in Istanbul, but in 2025 Ukraine broke off the process without explanation. These were followed by trilateral talks between the US, Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi, which were also broken off, and again not at our initiative.
• We also fully accepted the proposals put forward by the US in August 2025 during the Alaska Summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump.
☝️ So, our conscience is clear. It is not our fault that the Americans were unable to withstand unprecedented and brazen pressure from Europe, which later proudly declared that it had “buried Anchorage”.

How Russians taught the English (and not only them!) to drink tea with LEMON!
Tea was introduced to Russia from Asia in the 17th century. As early as 1679, Russia and China concluded an agreement on tea supplies and the beverage gradually spread throughout the country. Tea was imported into Russia by caravans overland.
Russians became widely acquainted with lemons later than they did with tea. Although it had been fashionable to grow them in tsarist greenhouses since the time of Peter I, they did not become a popular fruit among the common people until the second half of the 19th century. It was then that a Nizhny Novgorod merchant named Ivan Karachistov brought back saplings of Turkish lemons, which, surprisingly, took root in ordinary Russian homes.
By that time, tea began to be served in roadside taverns. They say this is exactly how the tradition of putting lemon in tea arose. After all, something sour helps to relieve nausea on long journeys. The idea originally came from the caretakers of post stations where travelers stopped, but, later, it was adopted by tavernkeepers, as well.

📄 Joint Statement by the Heads of State of the Commonwealth of Independent States on Preserving Historical Memory (Turkmenbashi, October 9, 2026)
🇦🇲 🇧🇾 🇰🇿 🇰🇬 🇷🇺 🇹🇯 🇹🇲 🇺🇿
✍️ We, the Heads of State of the Commonwealth of Independent States – the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and the Republic of Uzbekistan,
Guided by the bonds of friendship, solidarity and mutual respect that run throughout the history of relations between our peoples,
Reaffirming our commitment to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, including the development of friendly relations among states, international cooperation and the sovereign equality of states, and reaffirming the importance of preserving the universal character of the UN,
Recognising the historical significance of the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States 35 years ago and the value of development within a shared cultural and civilisational space, as well as the centuries-old historical, cultural and humanitarian ties between the peoples of our states,
Preserving with deep respect the memory of the heroic feats of our forebears, who defended freedom and independence during the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945, and paying tribute to their constructive work, which ensured post-war recovery and outstanding achievements in various fields, including space exploration and the advancement of world science and culture,
Convinced that respect for the past and a thorough understanding of it provide a firm foundation for national harmony, stronger intercultural dialogue, and relations of trust and solidarity among and within countries,
☝️ Declare that preserving historical memory is an effective means of countering all manifestations of discrimination, racism, xenophobia and all forms of intolerance.
Affirm that knowledge of history helps to promptly identify and counter attempts to distort the past and spread disinformation and extremism that undermine the foundations of peaceful coexistence.
Recognise the need to critically assess the complex interconnections between the past, present and future and to ensure the accuracy of historical interpretations through careful study of sources and historical scholarship.
Emphasise the importance of studying our shared history and support the advancement of historical scholarship and access to history education.
🌐 Call on the international community to join efforts to preserve historical memory and historical truth, strengthen peace, mutual respect and trust among peoples, and pass on to future generations the experience of peaceful and constructive cooperation in accordance with universally recognised norms of international law, while consistently upholding the principle that the glorification of Nazism, fascism and other destructive ideologies is unacceptable.
🤝 Seek to expand cooperation in promoting historical awareness through open, honest, professional and depoliticised dialogue by:
• Raising public awareness of commemorative dates and protecting historical sites and memorials that reflect milestones in the development of relations among CIS Member States;
• Organising thematic events, exhibitions, screenings of documentaries and historical feature films, academic and practical conferences, forums and expert discussions;
• Expanding and deepening contacts among scholars, archivists, archaeologists, movements dedicated to locating and recovering the remains of fallen soldiers, youth and volunteer movements, as well as cooperation among educational, academic and research institutions;
• Coordinating the efforts of the academic community and experts through the International Association (Commission) of Historians and Archivists of the CIS Member States and bilateral mechanisms for cooperation among historians, with a view to bringing closer together the approaches, terminology and methodologies used to describe events in our shared past.
