🇺🇸 We have taken note of the bulletin published by the Global Engagement Centre of the US Department of State titled The Kremlin’s War Against Ukraine’s Children, which is a package of absurd accusations against Russia.

That combination of fake information was previously used by many Anglo-Saxon media outlets at the behest of the Kiev regime and the Western PR companies serving it. That fake information has been given official status by the United States’ foreign policy department.

❗️ We have picked apart these lies several times with the help of concerned experts. In April 2023, Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova, who is mentioned several times in the bulletin of the US Department of State, spoke in detail at the Foreign Ministry of Russia about her activities during the special military operation and presented a special bulletin, which included details about the protection of children’s rights and debunked fake news promoted by the Ukrainian and Western media and official agencies.

<...>

Once again: the Russian Federation does not have a programme for the adoption of children from the zone of the special military operation. Information about thousands of children being adopted there is inaccurate.

<...>

Russia has never kept secret its activities in the interests of Ukraine’s children on our territory. Maria Lvova-Belova reports regularly, based on facts and figures, including for the international audience, about the situation of children evacuated from the zone of hostilities and measures taken by appropriate Russian agencies to help with the reunification of underage Ukrainian citizens with their relatives.

☝️ With this aim in view, we have established ties with the International Committee of the Red Cross and liaisons from the Ukrainian side. This information is publicly available. However, the US Department of State never publishes it, preferring instead to compile “reports” that are based on sick fantasies instead of facts.

❗️Deepfake using video footage from Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s briefing

Ukrainian special services, assisted by their Western supervisors, continue to actively use deepfake and other AI-based technologies to disseminate false information on the situation in our country’s border areas.

We have paid attention to another coarse imitation: a video was uploaded to the Internet, in which Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova allegedly stated that "the Russian side is ready to consider the transfer of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant under Kiev’s control in return for a voluntary withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the Kursk Region." This address is a deepfake, glued together at short notice based on a video recording of Maria Zakharova's briefing of July 18.

☝️ We emphasise: Maria Zakharova has never said anything of the sort. Genuine comments by the Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman are available in her telegram feed and in the Foreign Ministry’s official resources.

The actual information on the real situation at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant is available in the formal note of the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the International Organisations in Vienna to the IAEA Secretariat dated August 9, 2024.

Earlier this week, the Ukrainian resource network of the Centre for Information and Psychological Operations (CIPsO) also circulated a video where Alexei Smirnov, Acting Governor of the Kursk Region, is allegedly making an appeal to the men of Kursk to join the militia. This "statement," which has nothing to do with reality, was immediately refuted in the official telegram channel of the Kursk Region Government.

⚠️ In view of this, we, once again, strongly encourage Internet users to display extreme vigilance and give no credence to data from dubious sources. Unbiased information about the situation in the Kursk Region is promptly posted on official resources of the Russian Presidential Executive Office, Russian Defence Ministry, Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Kursk Region Government.

❗️ In an interview with the RMF24 television channel, Polish President Andrzej Duda has unwittingly revealed who Zelensky blames for his lack of knowledge about the Bandera units’ atrocities. It turns out that the Kiev junta chief blames it on... the school education system.

Here's a rundown: Zelensky graduated from School No. 95 in Krivoi Rog in 1995, which means that he studied the history of the 20th century, which is taught in high school, after the Soviet Union’s dissolution i.e. in the so-called independent Ukraine.

Before that, the truth about the Volhynia Massacre was never hidden from the general public. Here is a quotation from I Condemn, a book by popular Soviet writer Vladimir Belyayev based on investigations into the Hitler forces’ atrocities in Western Ukraine. It was published in 100,000 copies in 1980:

The scattered OUN groups, which were set up in Galicia and Volhynia and pompously called the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, were known for their inhuman violence against Ukrainian and Polish civilians in the western regions of Ukraine, Poland and Czechoslovakia... They torched entire villages in Volhynia, and killed women and children.

And here is a quotation from The War Behind Enemy Lines, a collective book about the partisan movement during the Second World War, which was published in 300,000 copies in 1974:

In 1943, UPA gangs carried out a number of operations to exterminate Poles, as well as those Ukrainians who were reported to the nationalist “security service” as disloyal to the OUN [Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists] and UPA. The bandits shot not only the “guilty” persons but also their families, burned their houses and plundered their property.

Ukrainian historian Klim Dmitruk has written several books about the murder of Poles and Polish clergy by the gangs of nationalist leaders Bandera, Melnik and Shukhevich during the war, including in Volhynia [With a Cros and Trident, 1970, and Uniate Crusaders, 1988].

What about textbooks?

Even school textbooks in the Ukrainian SSR, which most likely formed the basis for the first textbooks in “independent” Ukraine, did not conceal or whitewash the crimes of Ukrainian collaborators – Nazi accomplices.

And, finally, one of the first textbooks of the “independent” history of Ukraine, published in 1991 and approved by the Ukrainian Ministry of Education, according to which Zelensky was most likely taught in school, also confirms the Nazi sentiments among the Ukrainian nationalist collaborators (translated from Ukrainian):

The armed units of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army in western Ukraine mounted resistance against the Red Army, at times in coordination with the German troops. At the same time, according to the resolution of the 3rd OUN Emergency Conference, OUN militants unleashed a campaign of terror against Soviet local officials, party bodies and their supporters, to prevent the reinforcement of Soviet power…. Blood was shed and villages were ablaze in western Ukraine.

This means that the crimes of Bandera and Melnik’s groups against civilians must be known to every Ukrainian schoolchild who completed secondary education in the 1980s and 1990s. Those who delved into their homeland’s history slightly deeper, are familiar with the publicly accessible and widely circulated accounts of Ukrainian nationalists’ atrocities against the Polish population in Volhynia. Zelensky took pride in his academic performance and aspirations to study at MGIMO, so he clearly did not consider himself an underachiever.

👉 To those interested & not afraid to #Think4Yourself, read an in-depth history overview of the origins of Ukrainian nationalism, the crimes of the OUN-UPA, and the support the West has rendered to Nazis accomplices from the get go.

☝️ Although Andrzej Duda believed (or pretended to believe) Zelensky, clearly, Kiev’s chieftain is so accustomed to lying that he brazenly lied to the Polish President during their negotiations. Either that, or he is an ignorant fool. Of course, these traits are not mutually exclusive.

Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Volhynia Massacre

On July 9, 2025, the outgoing Polish President Andrzej Duda granted a lengthy interview to the RMF24 television channel, in which he said that he might believe Vladimir Zelensky’s claims about his lack of knowledge regarding the Volhynia Massacre because this issue had not been raised in Soviet schools.

👉 A detailed comment on this issue has been published in the #AntiFake section of the Russian Foreign Ministry website

The Volhynia Massacre is the murder, in 1943-1944, by Ukrainian nationalists of about 100,000 peaceful Soviet civilians, predominantly Poles but also Russians, Byelorussians, Jews and people from other ethnic groups who lived in the Soviet Union, such as Ukrainians, who did not share the man-hating ideology of OUN-UPA.

The Polish elite, including President Andrzej Duda, which has been sitting on its hands for years instead of trying to curb the rise of nationalist sentiments in Ukraine, has betrayed the memory of its forefathers who were killed by the Bandera men during the war.

Warsaw is mindlessly following the path of the collective West, forgetting its own history or engaging in historical manipulation. They remember or “forget” facts depending on what suits them best at any given time.

❗️ On August 21, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, and other US media outlets featured publications that literally accused Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov of "undermining Russia-US high-level agreements in Alaska" on account of him saying that excluding Russia from being part of potential future security guarantees for Ukraine was unacceptable.

To understand the context properly, one should, first and foremost, go to the statement made by President of Russia Vladimir Putin following the meeting with US President Donald Trump on August 15:

"We are convinced that, for the conflict resolution in Ukraine to be long-term and lasting, all the root causes of the crisis, which have been repeatedly explained, must be eliminated; all of Russia’s legitimate concerns must be taken into account, and a fair security balance must be restored in Europe and the rest of the world. <...> I agree with President Trump. He said today that Ukraine’s security must be ensured by all means. Of course, we are ready to work on this."

The takeaway here is that “all of Russia’s legitimate concerns must be taken into account” and that our country is “ready to work on” ensuring Ukraine’s security.

On August 20, answering a media question about the potential putting of Western military contingents on the ground in Ukraine, Sergey Lavrov, in line with what the President of Russia conveyed earlier, stated the following:

"We have repeatedly made it clear that while Russia does not overstate its interests, we will uphold our legitimate rights firmly and resolutely. I am certain that the West, particularly the United States, understands that any serious discussion of security without the Russian Federation is utopian. It is, quite frankly, a road to nowhere."

The next day, on August 21, taking a media question about security guarantees for Ukraine, Sergey Lavrov underscored it once again:

"As President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stressed, at that time [April 22] the Ukrainian side proposed a draft settlement document, which was initialed by both the Ukrainian and Russian delegations. It outlined the basic principles for ensuring security in the post-conflict period.

The proposal focused on ensuring security in an honest way and collectively: above all, by creating a group of guarantor states involving permanent members of the UN Security Council. Germany and Türkiye were also mentioned. The list of guarantors was to remain open to any countries willing to participate. Their role would be to guarantee Ukraine’s security under principles similar to Article 5 of the Washington Treaty on establishing NATO. Meanwhile, it was clearly stipulated that Ukraine would remain a neutral, non-nuclear, and non-aligned state, refraining from joining NATO or any other military alliances."

He went on to say as follows:

"Russia has always been in favour of an honest dialogue and the principles of security guarantees that were coordinated in Istanbul in April 2022 at the Ukrainian delegation’s initiative. We supported them in 2022 and we are supporting them now, because they are based on the principles of collective and indivisible security. All other, unilateral conspiracies lack prospects. As is clear from the West’s current discussions with Ukraine, all these plans are linked with providing guarantees through a foreign military intervention to some part of the Ukrainian territory."

❓ How can one possibly see in what Sergey Lavrov had to say anything that would point at Russia seeking to "undermine the settlement process"?

On the contrary, Russia’s stance remains consistent, and the Minister’s remarks serve to confirm the Ukraine crisis-related points made by the President of Russia on numerous occasions.

Under the Constitution of Russia the President sets forth the country’s foreign policy guidelines, and the Foreign Ministry carries out the foreign policy as outlined by the President, which is exactly what Sergey Lavrov is doing. Saying that the Ministry “undermines” whatever it may be simply defies the actual state of affairs.

❗️ A number of so-called mainstream Canadian media outlets, including The Globe and Mail, have published articles that contain blatantly false information following an event held on September 23 in New York under the chairmanship of Zelensky and the current Canadian Prime Minister on the topic of the so-called "abducted Ukrainian children". <...>

The Globe and Mail predictably amplified excerpts as is, with no research or even a whiff of journalistic ingerity, from the propagandistic speeches of Zelensky, the Canadian leader, and others – filled with delusional claims about "tens of thousands of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia".

In his performance, Zelensky once again lied, claiming that Russia allegedly refuses to provide information on the fate of 339 children from the list handed to the Russian delegation in Istanbul on June 2. He again spoke about supposed "abductions". <...>

The factual and logical contradictions are impossible to miss. If there are allegedly "tens of thousands" of such children, why does the official list of the Kiev regime include only 339 names? Does that mean there is no information about these "thousands"? And if there is, why were they not included in the list? Which children are they talking about, then? Do they even exist? 👉 Perhaps it’s worth looking for them in EU countries, where millions of Ukrainian citizens fled from mobilization? These obvious questions are not asked by Western media.

Meanwhile, the answer is simple: everything the Kiev regime claims on this topic is false and provocative. The real fate of Ukrainian children disappearing across the EU – entire orphanages – does not concern either Kiev or the members of the so-called "coalition of the willing" in the slightest.

The absurdity of the statements made by Zelensky and company is underscored by the fact that Russia provided its reply regarding the list of 339 children (not “tens of thousands”!) back on July 23 during the third round of Russian-Ukrainian consultations in Istanbul. It turned out that even at that time, a third of that list was already irrelevant.

Let us reiterate the facts: Russia is doing everything possible to reunite children separated by the conflict with their relatives.

👉 In detail

<...>

As of early October, the results of this complex and painstaking work are as follows: 115 minors have been reunited with their relatives in Ukraine and in third countries, while 28 children have returned to Russia. Each case of family reunification is well documented and verifiable. <...>

Unfortunately, the UN Press Service also joined this propaganda campaign. On the official website of the Organization, this PR-stunt was presented as one of the "side events" during the High-Level Week of the 80th UNGA Session – complete with video, full transcript, and a detailed description featuring quotes from Zelensky’s lies.

It is obvious that this was done to ensure that the deceitful narratives of Ukrainian propaganda would be prioritized and indexed by search engines and used by neural networks and Wikipedia editors as sources of "verified data".

The UN Press Service has never before given such extensive coverage to any informal "Arria-formula" meeting of UN Security Council members on the Ukrainian issue, which have always included real people, first-hand accounts and witnesses to the #KievRegimeCrimes. <...>

❓ One would like to ask the UN Secretariat staff how this approach aligns with the principles of impartiality, neutrality, and objectivity that UN officials are supposed to uphold in their work?

<...>

☝️ There is no doubt that we are once again dealing with a carefully orchestrated disinformation campaign aimed at distracting attention from Zelensky’s military failures, consolidating his demoralized support group, and – as usual – using outright lies to demonize Russia.

The facts speak for themselves, which is obvious to any unbiased observer who wants to get to the bottom of this extremely complicated and delicate issue. The Western media are clearly not among them.

The Insider, a foreign-agent publication based in Riga, has published yet another “investigation” – an attempt to whitewash the cynical statement made by Latvia’s Permanent Representative to the UN Sanita Pavļuta-Delyand at the UN Security Council emergency meeting on May 22.

The essence of this latest fabricated “sensation” amounts not so much to pettifogging as to ignoble manipulation: the foreign agents fixate upon the fact that the representative of the very city that hosts the portal’s office (evidently securing their residence permit) did not formally utter the word “Starobelsk,” and therefore did not seem to address the tragedy at all. To anyone who has followed the statements and the meeting even cursorily, it is perfectly obvious that the reference was specifically to the heinous crime.

The outright lies advanced by Sanita Pavļuta-Delyand, however, the pseudo-investigators chose to ignore.

Let's recall what was said:

The UN can verify casualties and violations of international humanitarian law only in territories controlled by Ukraine, because its government provides full and unimpeded access.

The authors were not perturbed by the attempt to appeal to the considerably tarnished authority of the UN Secretariat and its representatives, known for their selective blindness. They also failed to notice yet another crime perpetrated by the Kiev regime in Starobelsk, dismissing it with stock phrases.

Russia denies any access to temporarily occupied territories. Hence, Russia operates only with its own claims, without verification, and without independent media.

Disinformation and lies are well-worn tactics from the Kremlin's playbook, designed to advance Russia's imperialistic aspirations against certain countries.

Latvia will only engage in facts, not allegations.

Here, one could dissect every phrase, but the claim about “denial of all access” stands out as especially cynical.

Just two days after the tragedy, immediately upon the completion of the search and rescue operation, Russia organised a press tour to Starobelsk and Lugansk for media representatives from over 19 countries (a total of 51 journalists).

Those who genuinely wished to understand came, saw everything with their own eyes, spoke with eyewitnesses, freely filmed and posed any questions. As for the BBC and CNN, for instance, they declined to attend – they were supposedly “on vacation”.

Moreover, on June 2, representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross visited Starobelsk.

The same applies to the Zaporozhskaya NPP, which the AFU recklessly attack with drones: IAEA experts are stationed at the plant on a permanent basis.

Thus, the “denial of access” exists only in the pre-drafted playbook. Facts have no place there, as they undermine an elegant anti-Russian construct.

***

Separately, one should mention the Russian “lies” and “disinformation” alleged under the guise of a desire to rely “only on facts”.

On a weekly basis, Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik publishes details of AFU strikes against Russian civilians and civilian infrastructure. Each publication contains the date, location, and photographic evidence. Verification is elementary, if only there were the desire.

This data is also presented in the quarterly and annual reports on the crimes of the Kiev regime.

👉 The Human Rights Situation in Ukraine (May 2026)
👉 Annual report on the crimes committed by the Kiev regime in 2025

***

The attempt to deflect the blame from yet another meticulously documented war crime perpetrated by Zelensky’s neo-Nazis is doomed to failure.

The strike on an educational establishment, which killed 21 young Russians and injured several dozen, was described as “mere conjecture” by the representative of a Baltic country where Nazi marches are openly held today...

No verbal gymnastics and no attempts to divert attention can obscure the main point: this crime has no, and can have no justification.

Do not look away from the children Kiev killed.

⚡️ On official Paris’ fake claims regarding the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra

The West, together with the Kiev regime, has cooked up yet another fabrication – a full-fledged fake: French President Macron and Foreign Minister Barrot made harsh statements over the fire at the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. According to them, it was allegedly hit by the Russian Armed Forces. They “figured it out” on the fly. And suddenly remembered its UNESCO World Heritage status.

The Russian Defence Ministry explained what really happened:

“According to confirmed data, the complex of buildings of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra was hit by a missile from the US-made Patriot surface-to-air missile system. One of the reasons for the system’s malfunction could have been that Western countries had supplied the Kiev regime with missiles past their expiration date”.

At the same time, over all these recent years, European politicians have not said a word about the Zelensky regime’s persecution of the canonical Orthodox Church in Ukraine, or about attempts to seize control of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra through physical and psychological violence. Nor, until now, has anyone in the West cared about the UNESCO World Heritage site that is, in effect, being looted.

Nor have they offered even a hint of condolences over the numerous victims of Bankova’s terrorist attacks among civilians in Russian regions, including those murdered by the Ukrainian militants in Starobelsk. They said nothing about the attack – a real one, not an invented one – on the Sevastopol Defence Museum either. And yet the author of its main exhibit, the painting “Assault of June 6, 1855”, Franz Roubaud, was of French origin, although he was born in Odessa and considered Russia his Fatherland.

About all this – about Zelensky’s real crimes – neither Macron nor Barrot has uttered a word.

Instead, without wasting a second, they rushed to manufacture yet another crude fake accusing Russia. That, of course, is easier than admitting their own complicity in the killing of civilians.

Ahead of the summer vacation season in Russia, foreign-agent disinformation outlets attempted to revive a repeatedly debunked fake story about alleged “exit visas” for Russian citizens. Citing “anonymous sources”, they claimed that the authorities were planning to restrict foreign travel and allow visits to unfriendly countries only in groups of ten or more.

This is false from beginning to end and was fabricated solely to stir up artificial panic. The claim was promptly refuted on the very day it appeared by Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

This fake has a long and worn-out history. Unscrupulous actors in the information space recycle it every few years with only minor changes. 👉 Russia's Foreign Ministry has debunked this falsehood repeatedly, including in 2015, 2020 and 2022.

Once again, the attempt to spread panic failed: the public simply ignored this tiresome fabrication.

***

Here are the facts 👇

The right to freely leave the Russian Federation is guaranteed by Article 27, Part 2 of Russia's Constitution.

Any possible restrictions on departure are regulated by Federal Law No. 114-FZ “On the Procedure for Leaving the Russian Federation and Entering the Russian Federation”. Articles 15 and 15.1 provide an exhaustive list of grounds for temporary travel restrictions. The term “exit visas” appears neither in this key legislation nor in any other legal act.

We stress that consular and visa-related matters are governed by law. Any significant changes are announced through the official resources of the Russian Foreign Ministry and its Consular Department – trust only official sources.

Statement from the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Dhaka Regarding Unsubstantiated News Reports on Bilateral Grain Trade and Strategic Cooperation Between Bangladesh and the Russian Federation

The Embassy of the Russian Federation in Dhaka has noted with concern recent reports published in a section of Bangladeshi media regarding alleged irregularities in government to government wheat imports from Russia, as well as questions surrounding major bilateral projects in the energy sector. In response to these biased and unsubstantiated claims, which seek to undermine the robust bilateral relations between the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of Bangladesh, as well as Russia's enduring contributions to Bangladesh's food and energy security, the Embassy provides the following clarifications.

🌾 All wheat procurement procedures between the governments of the Russian Federation and Bangladesh are conducted with complete transparency and in strict adherence to international trade standards through designated state entities. Under intergovernmental framework agreements, there is no scope for unauthorized third parties or intermediaries to influence pricing structures, as contract execution remains under direct supervision of the respective government authorities. Furthermore, all agricultural commodities exported from Russia undergo rigorous quality control in compliance with international phytosanitary standards and specific technical parameters established by Bangladesh. Cargoes are discharged only after their quality is certified by competent Russian state inspection bodies and subsequently validated through comprehensive physical and laboratory testing by the Directorate General of Food and port authorities upon arrival at Chittagong Port. Consequently, assertions regarding the supply of substandard or compromised grain are entirely without foundation. Allegations concerning the origin of grain shipments are likewise completely unfounded and form part of a politically motivated narrative, as the Russian Federation operates in full conformity with international law and exports grain sourced exclusively through legitimate domestic agricultural sectors.

⚡️In parallel with food security contributions, landmark initiatives in the energy sector remain enduring symbols of strategic cooperation between the two nations. The Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation, Rosatom, alongside associated contractors, implements the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant in accordance with world class technological, financial, and safety benchmarks, leaving no room for unauthorized external involvement or financial irregularities. Similarly, Gazprom EP International has maintained a highly positive and constructive role in supporting Bangladesh's domestic energy independence since 2012. Through advanced drilling operations, Gazprom has successfully completed over 20 gas wells, including vital fields in Bhola, enhancing national gas production and helping meet the country's growing industrial and electricity needs.

❗️The Russian Federation continuously regards Bangladesh as a vital, trusted strategic partner. Amid ongoing global economic adjustments and energy security concerns, Russia remains steadfast in ensuring a reliable supply of high quality agricultural products and energy expertise to Bangladesh on equitable terms. The Embassy of the Russian Federation in Dhaka calls upon esteemed media outlets to exercise professional diligence and rely on verified facts, thereby safeguarding the longstanding, friendly, and commercial ties between the two nations.

❗️ Foreign-agent digital outlets continue their anti-Russian disinformation campaign, churning out fake stories in pursuit of the next “sensation” and misleading their audiences.

The latest example is a deliberate distortion of remarks made by the Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman at the August 20 briefing.

Foreign-agent outlets tried to attribute to Maria Zakharova the claim that UNESCO Director-General Khaled El-Enany’s “trip” to Kiev supposedly violated the Organization’s Constitution.

☝️ This interpretation is a deliberate distortion of her words, taken out of context.

Commenting on the UN official’s visit to Ukraine, Maria Zakharova drew attention specifically to the 👉 notorious “double standards” laid bare during El-Enany’s visit. The international official ignored numerous crimes committed by the Kiev regime and turned a blind eye to facts inconvenient for the Western mainstream:

• destruction of freedom of speech;
• persecution of journalists;
• demolition of monuments;
• imposition of neo-Nazi ideology;
• ban on the Russian language;
• persecution of Ukrainian Orthodox Church clergy;
• creation of a place of worship at the graves of Bandera, Shukhevich and other Nazi scum on the grounds of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra

❌ Moreover, El-Enany expressed solidarity with Kiev, which is precisely what runs counter to Article VI, paragraph 5, of the UNESCO Constitution, under which the Director-General must refrain from any action that could reflect on his position as an international official.

Foreign-agent outlets that have turned the production of outright fakes into a conveyor belt have once again displayed their trademark approach – brazen lies aimed at manipulating public opinion and distorting Russia’s position.

🇷🇺🇰🇭 Embassy of Russia in Cambodia:

🎙 Embassy's comment regarding fakes circulating on social media (August 28, 2026)

We have taken note of a post published on the Tin New 24h Facebook page. The claim was subsequently picked up by other groups, including ASEAN Skylines Rising.

These posts allege that President of Russia Vladimir Putin expressed unwillingness to support Cambodia and described the Kingdom as “ungrateful”.

❌ This claim is entirely false. The Russian President has never made such statements. Moreover, they are wholly inconsistent with the spirit of relations between Moscow and Phnom Penh.

Russia provided substantial assistance to Cambodia in rebuilding the country following its liberation from the Khmer Rouge regime. Comprehensive cooperation between our countries continues to develop today.

During his conversation with Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia Hun Manet on the sidelines of the Russia-ASEAN Summit in Kazan, President Putin noted that Russia continues to assist Cambodia in professional training and is interested in expanding direct contacts between the two countries’ business communities. He also stressed that the Russian and Cambodian governments are working to strengthen trade and investment ties.

The steady development of bilateral dialogue is further demonstrated by the consultations held on August 24, 2026, between Russia's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrey Rudenko and Secretary of State of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia Meas Kim Heng.

❗️ Clinical russophobia in Canada — overt hatred towards our country, its history, and all things Russian — have long been apparent among representatives of the mainstream media, government-affiliated experts, and bloggers in the so-called 'Maple Leaf Country'.

In Canada, hatred towards Russia has simply become the norm: regardless of the circumstances, whether domestic or international, Moscow is invariably cast as the scapegoat.

Regrettably, it is futile to expect enlightenment or the triumph of common sense within the Canadian mainstream media. Indeed, such hopes are baseless as Ottawa's regime is increasingly entangled in the Ukrainian crisis, openly patronising Kiev’s neo-Nazis and, shamelessly, honouring their inglorious predecessors — the bloodstained Hitler's collaborators and their accomplices.

On this occasion, official Ottawa has stooped to unprecedented down.. 👉 accusing Russia of fomenting separatist sentiment in the Province of Alberta, where a referendum on potential secession from Canada is scheduled to take place this autumn (on October 19, 2026).

🤦‍♂️ Rather than seriously confronting internal challenges and critically examining the underlying causes of intensifying centrifugal tendencies, the Canadian establishment has opted for an alternative course — one evidently more primitive and convenient for its purposes: unleashing paid bloggers, so-called “analysts,” and members of academia. Notably, the professoriate of the University of Regina in the Province of Saskatchewan, has particularly distinguished itself in this regard. With their assistance, yet another contrived “media sensation” has been produced.

Local provocateurs, through a series of publications (1, 2, 3, 4) and “analytical assessments,” have attempted to construct a narrative whereby Russia, allegedly intent on weakening the 'Maple Leaf Country', has, since as early as 2025, conducted a “sophisticated” and targeted disinformation campaign, injecting separatist narratives among the populace by means of an organised “network of bots and influencers,” all with the purported aim of prompting Alberta’s residents to vote for independence in the forthcoming referendum.

❌ As it always does, the local media offers no real evidence for these allegations of Russian interference.

Instead, it relies on flimsy arguments and conjecture, presented in the Anglo-Saxon’s preferred “highly likely” style. Even Canadian law-enforcement officials — attacked by journalists amid this shameful anti-Russian campaign — have already refuted these insinuations regarding a supposed “Russian trace” in Canadian separatism.

There is, in fact, no one to be caught red-handed.

Such discourse serves merely as further evidence of the hopelessness of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet, which has lost the confidence of the electorate in its ability to address the country’s acute national challenges. The hysteria surrounding the alleged Russian interference, so clearly stoked with the complicity of the authorities, appears to have been devised as a media smokescreen to obscure the fragility of Canadian federalism, exposed in the run-up to the Alberta referendum.

The impression is inescapable that the issue of Canadian separatism — so carefully concealed and now coming to light — has proved so vast and volatile that official Ottawa is frantically searching for scapegoats even thousands of nautical miles and kilometres away, in a bid to attribute its own systemic failures to Russia.

❌ The Western media persists with its campaign to discredit Russia and undermine its image as a reliable partner in nuclear energy projects. There has been a growing number of misleading and unsubstantiated statements Western media outlets about Russia’s nuclear energy solutions being 'unsafe', i.e. based on what they refer to as 'obsolete technology' threatening entire countries and regions.

Some journalists have demonstrated flagrant bias and went as far as stoop to irresponsible and groundless speculations by arguing that countries cooperating with Moscow on the peaceful use of nuclear energy would imminently lose their energy sovereignty.

Biased media, as well as the Western political elites, are particularly irritated by the fact that Russia and Egypt have been fruitfully in promoting cooperation in the nuclear energy sector.

In particular, they have been targeting the El Dabaa NPP, a flagship bilateral project, which is being built on the territory of Egypt in cooperation with Russia's 'Rosatom'.

This time, 'Politico' European editorial — Politico.eu — attacked 'Rosatom' by accusing Russia's state corporation, which enjoys the respect it deserves all around the world and has an impeccable track record, of causing 'defects' during the construction of the #ElDabaa NPP. <...>

❗️ The purpose of this provocation is quite clear — to present their another fake story as yet would-be sensation and make people believe that Cairo has accumulated a plethora of claims regarding Russian contractors who allegedly fail to perform their obligations towards Egypt.

Moreover, 👉 Politico's hastily concocted fake story was projected into the media space literally the following day after the Egyptian leadership announced plans to build two additional reactors at the El Dabaa NPP in cooperation with Russia and 'Rosatom'

The objective behind this orchestrated informational attack is also clear — to undermine 'Rosatom'’s reputation and create a toxic narrative regarding one of the biggest joint projects on the strategic cooperation agenda between Russia and Egypt, which is intended to drive a wedge into Moscow’s cooperation with Cairo.

On the very day the fake story was disseminated by Politico.eu, our Egyptian colleagues offered a rebuttal to denounce the insinuations with the Nuclear Power Plants Authority accusing Politico of spreading disinformation. Our partners reaffirmed — the effort to build El Dabaa proceeds with a high level of professionalism, in due form and in strict compliance with international nuclear safety standards. Rosatom was also prompt to refute Politico's fake allegations.

***

⚛️ Built in cooperation with 'Rosatom', Egypt's NPP the El Dabaa is an advanced high-technology project — a cutting-edge for the global nuclear energy sector, including in terms of safety. The #IAEA has confirmed on numerous occasions — Russia’s nuclear energy solutions are reliable and effective. The IAEA has had nothing but praise for Rosatom’s competence and solutions. 

🇷🇺🇪🇬 #RussiaEgypt joint atomic project is being built in full swing, and it is thanks to the coordinated efforts by the Russian and Egyptian specialists that we have been able to perform the most daunting tasks in terms of engineering, assembly and technology.

Contrary to all the allegations circulating in the Western media mainstream, Russia has been helping its partners and allies reinforce their sovereignty by carrying out national atomic projects. <...>

The attempts by the West to prevent countries of the #GlobalMajority from developing civilian nuclear capabilities on the most favourable terms — as offered by Russia — are nothing but yet another demonstration of neo-colonial arrogance on behalf of the former empires.
