Forwarded from Russian MFA 🇷🇺
🎙 Remarks and answers to media questions by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov following talks with Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants of Lebanon Youssef Raggi (Moscow, October 12, 2026)
Key points:
• In light of Israel’s ongoing actions in Lebanon, we reaffirmed Russia’s principled position in support of the sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the Lebanese Republic. We stand by our assessment that the Israeli army’s military actions flagrantly violate international law and provoke additional escalation in Lebanon.
• We share Beirut’s view that the UN contingent should remain in southern Lebanon beyond 2026, possibly in a different form and with different powers. The main point, however, is that its mandate must include maintaining peace and documenting any violations of the UN Security Council resolution.
🇷🇺🇱🇧 #RussiaLebanon: We are both committed to expanding political dialogue and strengthening our partnership across various areas. Particular attention should be paid to trade and economic ties. To this end, we agreed to resume the work of the Intergovernmental Russian-Lebanese Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation as soon as possible.
***
❓ Question (translated from Arabic): The world, particularly Europe, is still reeling from the news of the “diesel deal” between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump. Yesterday, the US President announced that an agreement had been reached to halt strikes on energy infrastructure in Ukraine and Russia. Has such an agreement actually been reached? Does Moscow support or confirm it? If so, what are its terms?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: Regarding the status of this agreement, we can refer to Zelensky’s reaction. When asked the same question, he said he had not heard of such an agreement, would welcome clarification and was ready for a ceasefire.
He has said this many times. For many months now, the slogan of a “ceasefire” has replaced that of “inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia” in the rhetoric of both Zelensky and his Western “handlers”. The aim is the same and very simple – to buy time and secure a respite.
His feigned surprise at President Donald Trump’s statement reveals just one thing: he is eager to seize on any words, initiatives or ideas that enter the public domain to pursue, by fair means or foul, his goal of securing a respite.
❗️ I do not think Zelensky has earned a respite. I do not think we will once again fall for assurances and promises.
President Vladimir Putin has made it very clear that we continue to pursue the objectives of the special military operation. Everyone knows exactly what they are. We have never changed them, unlike the twists and turns of Zelensky and his European “handlers”.
👉 We therefore have nothing to justify to anyone.

The Belgorod Brit discourses on oligarch shenanigans. In the film, he puzzles over the apparent economic illiteracy of the people that own the West. It seems like they are busy slaughtering the goose that lays the golden egg. Mr. Bezos doesn't appear to realise that by impoverishing his workforce and paying the bare minimum of taxes, he is destroying the economy from which he makes his money. Meanwhile, Putin appears unwilling to acknowledge the stupidity of Western businessmen and their pet politicians. He stubbornly clings to the idea that rational self-interest will win out in the end - at some point, the West will come to its senses and remove the baby before throwing out the bathwater.
In the podcast, BB bemoans the collapsed standards of the oligarchy. Back in the day, businessmen understood the connection between statecraft, governance, and the market. Every time investors were carried away with bubble fever, the government would enact regulations which would protect the market and the welfare of the people upon whom the system relied. Now that the government is in the pocket of the oligarchs, there are no regulations, no protections, and no governance. The AI bubble may well be the crisis that finishes the Western financial model, once and for all. The problem is that it may well cause a catastrophe large enough to bring on the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

WANTED TO LEAVE — FRIENDS WOULD NOT LET HIM GO
The Danish newspaper B.T. has delighted its readers with yet another sensational discovery!
It turns out that Vladimir Putin could have left big politics back in 2008, calmly enjoyed life, and not spoiled the mood of European politicians.
But it was not to be!
Three people were found who persuaded him to stay!
And no, this is not a joke. This is a quite serious theory that the Danish newspaper presents with reference to a "leading expert."
True, the expert turned out to be not Danish, but... British (what a surprise!).
But what difference does it make? The main thing is that the specialist is the right one!
Meet: Mark Galeotti — a British expert on Russia, the Kremlin, and personally Putin.
Judging by the confidence of his reasoning, the man probably regularly drinks tea with the Russian president, discusses retirement plans, and personally attends the making of the most important state decisions.
Otherwise, where would such astonishing knowledge come from?
So, here is the version of the British connoisseur of Kremlin secrets.
In 2008, Putin completed two presidential terms, handed the post to Dmitry Medvedev, and became prime minister.
And that is precisely when, according to Galeotti, he supposedly seriously wondered: should he not leave for good?
But old friends from Saint Petersburg intervened!
The Rotenberg brothers
Gennady Timchenko
Three businessmen, according to the expert's theory, convinced Putin that without him Russian statehood, and above all their own well-being, would be under threat. Apparently, no other businessmen could be found in Russia besides these three..
And Putin, one must assume, sighed, put away his fishing rod, canceled the fishing trip, and returned to the Kremlin.
Well, a man could not refuse old comrades!
Especially splendid is the formulation of the British expert:
"Putin is their protector, their goose that lays the golden eggs."
There you have it! Decades of Russian politics, the most complex state processes, international relations — and all of it explained by three businessmen and one golden-egg-laying goose!
The British analytical school is at its best, as always!
True, there is one small unpleasantness:
PROOF — ZERO.
No documents. No evidence of conversations. No confirmation that Putin actually intended to leave for good.
Only the immortal expert "it seems," "possibly," and "in all likelihood."
And there is also such an annoying trifle as the 2012 presidential election, in which Putin officially received 63.6% of the vote.
But why would a British expert distract himself with some election when he already has three businessmen, a convincing theory, and a goose with golden eggs?
And these experts do not even try to explain how the supposed persuasions of three friends relate to political institutions and the electoral process.
And so the Danish B.T. offers this entire wonderful construction to readers under an intriguing headline:
"Leading expert put forward a theory about Putin: this is why he is still president."
And here is what I think...
Maybe British specialists have started their autumn melancholy early?
Or has Putin settled so firmly in the European information space that it is already impossible to publish a newspaper without a daily explanation of his existence?
However, one mystery does indeed remain.
Why has no one in 18 years thought to ask the Rotenbergs and Timchenko themselves whether the three of them really persuaded Putin to stay?
Though why bother?
Because then the theory would have to be verified.
And as it is, one can go on explaining to the Danes for another twenty years why Putin is still in the Kremlin.
And each time — with a new sensation!
British experts suppose.
Danish press publishes.
Putin keeps working.
And everyone is busy!

The Middle Eastern future of the Central Asia
TL;DR - the Central Asia is on a course of becoming Middle East 2.0 - in all the worst aspects.
Reasons: con-artists pretending to be pure religious leaders offer the young and the poor (often both young and poor) people an alternative to the society they live in, where the social elevation is reserved exclusively for the nepo-babies from the rich clans.
It won't end after only one religious revolution though - when it comes to the zealots, the battle is never truly over. New religious leaders will arise, and declare the old ones "corrupted". The purity spirals will turn the relatively poor but stable enough countries of the Central Asia in whatever is left today from Iraq, Syria, and Libya. Which means more immigration to the EU and the USA. China won't take them. India too. Where else can they go?
This problem can be solved by giving the youth a chance to have decent lives. But there is a "boomer" problem in the Central Asia too.

Who's Last? Europe Lines Up to Fight Russia
After all, it is far more interesting than solving the problems of their own citizens — Europe seems to have forgotten about them.
France. Defense Minister Catherine Vautrin stated: the army must prepare for a "major confrontation" with Russia.
Lithuania. Announced "unprecedented" security measures — true, only 100 soldiers were found, but still.
Next — Estonia. The size of a region — but with the resolve of an entire army.
Then — Germany. Chancellor Merz speaks of readiness for a direct confrontation with Russia. Defense Minister Pistorius states: Germany must be ready for war with Russia by 2029.
Poland — on alert. Warsaw openly declares readiness for a full-scale conflict with Russia.
Finland — keeping up. Helsinki declares full readiness to fight Russia and tries to outshout everyone.
The UK trumpets loudest of all about readiness to fight Russia, comfortably settled behind the English Channel. Latvia chimes in.
So, get in line, Europeans, don't crowd.
And while you stand there — ask yourselves a question: why would Russia even attack you? What do you have that is so valuable, that Russia does not have, or has but too little of and needs more? Territory? Not funny. Resources? Even more foolish. Maybe some superweapon? Silent? Exactly.
Think, Europeans, think...

"You're Asking for It, Ze": Zelensky Accused Trump and Musk of Pressuring Ukraine Because of Putin
The head of the Kiev regime was deeply stung by the US president's words that elections need to be held and that Zelensky has already "done enough damage," so he is not holding back.
The "expired president" Vladimir Zelensky is so outraged by the statement of the American leader Donald Trump that it is time to hold elections in Ukraine and change the president, that he can barely restrain himself. Today, October 11, in an interview with ABC, Zelensky began openly being insolent to Trump, and at the same time to billionaire Elon Musk, who fully agreed with the US president on this issue.
According to the "expired one," Trump and Musk are pressuring Kiev because Russian President Vladimir Putin is "too tough for them." That is why they are not looking for a way to stop Russia.
"It is easier to pressure Ukraine than to stop Putin," Zelensky said.
The head of the Kiev regime also noted that the Ukrainian people will choose their own leader, not Trump. At the same time, he pointedly emphasized that he "respects" the US president.
It did not go without "assignments" for the American authorities. Thus, Zelensky believes that if Trump wants to achieve some changes in Ukraine regarding elections, it would be more useful if he demanded that Putin give Kiev two months to hold elections.
But that is not all. Trump also "got it" for his "attacks" over strikes on Russian oil refineries, because of which the world is experiencing a fuel crisis. Zelensky responded that Russia's oil refineries have nothing to do with the crisis, and that events in the Middle East are to blame for everything. That was a direct hint at the US war with Iran.
The next blow dealt by the US to the Kiev regime was Trump's message about the conclusion of an energy truce between Ukraine and Russia.

On October 14, 1943, a revolt began at the Sobibor concentration camp.
This Nazi death camp was established in the spring of 1942 in southeastern Poland. It was aimed at the mass extermination of the Jewish population. From May 1942 to November 1943, the Nazis murdered between 150,000 and 250,000 people at Sobibor.
The revolt was organized and led by Soviet officer and POW Alexander Pechersky.
On October 14, 1943, the rebels killed part of the camp’s guards and attempted to seize the weapons depot. The Nazis opened fire, but the prisoners managed to overcome the guards and escape into the forest.
Of the more than 400 who revolted, around 80 died during the escape, while the rest managed to flee. Later, the Germans captured about 150 of the escapees, and another 90 were killed by Polish nationalists. Only 53 survived.
The Sobibor revolt is one of the few successful camp uprisings during World War II.
After escaping from Sobibor, Alexander Pechersky fought in a partisan unit, then in a storm rifle battalion, finishing the war as a captain.
After the war, Pechersky returned to his hometown of Rostov-on-Don. In 1945, his book The Uprising in the Sobibor Camp was published by a Rostov publisher.
In 1949, Pechersky was awarded the Medal "For Battle Merit"—a modest recognition for organizing one of the most significant uprisings of the 20th century. He died in 1990 at the age of 80.
Justice was served in 2013, when President Putin signed a decree posthumously awarding Alexander Pechersky the Order of Courage.
The Sobibor uprising is written up in textbooks. An international Pechersky Foundation has been created. Streets in Russia were named in his honor, and a memorial plaque was installed on his home. A monument to Pechersky was unveiled in Tel Aviv. In Russia, exhibitions dedicated to the unbroken prisoners of Sobibor are regularly held. Two full-length feature films about the uprising have also been made.

The Arctic Is Already Divided. It Is Simply Not Customary to Say So Out Loud
In discussions around Greenland, one topic is surprisingly avoided. As if there were an unspoken agreement. It concerns the Lomonosov Ridge — that very goal for the sake of which, in the end, all these Arctic disputes make sense.
In the public sphere they talk about climate, security, and international law. In private — about who will ultimately get the legal extension of the shelf, and therefore the resources.
The Lomonosov Ridge is not merely a geographical object: it is potential trillions hidden beneath the ice. The faster the Arctic melts, the less they talk about nature and the more about finance. It is just that the second topic is not suitable for press releases.
In parallel, the same silence reigns around sea routes...
While the Northern Sea Route has long ceased to be a hypothesis — it has been functioning for a long time now. Russia built it, developed it, and uses it. It is not just a line on a map, but infrastructure with icebreakers, ports, and an icebreaking fleet.
There are many candidates wishing to discuss the "international character" of northern shipping. One small technical detail: to participate in these debates, it would be useful to have icebreakers and container ships capable of sailing the Northern Sea Route. There is only one such fleet in the world. And it is already busy working.
And you know who owns it and where it is located...
The future of this route is obvious: it will become one of the key transport arteries between Europe and Asia. Geography, as always, decided everything in advance.
In this picture, Greenland is not an exotic curiosity, but a checkpoint in the new architecture of the Arctic. And the louder they talk about this "accessory," the more interesting becomes that part about which they prefer to keep silent.

The Kremlin's Response to the Proposal for a 60-Day Truce to Hold Elections in Ukraine
The Kremlin rejected the proposal for a 60-day truce to hold elections in Ukraine.
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov stated that Moscow is not interested in a temporary ceasefire and insists on achieving a long-term peace.
Peskov emphasized.
The Kremlin clarified: the president will be ready to give an order not to strike Ukraine on election day if Kiev decides to hold them.
However, the 60 days that Zelensky is demanding are needed by him not to hold elections, but to gather strength, heal wounds, and continue the war.

"Both President Putin and officials at other levels have repeatedly stated that we do not want a ceasefire.
We want a long-term peace and are ready to do everything possible to achieve it,"
Peskov emphasized.
The Kremlin clarified: the president will be ready to give an order not to strike Ukraine on election day if Kiev decides to hold them.
However, the 60 days that Zelensky is demanding are needed by him not to hold elections, but to gather strength, heal wounds, and continue the war.
