Статья Посла России в Ливане А.Н.Рудакова «Специальная военная операция: три года борьбы за справедливость», опубликованная в газете «Ан-Нахар» (24 февраля 2025 г.)

Основные тезисы:

▫️«Незалежная» и руководящая ею верхушка давно потеряли свою политическую субъектность и превратились в геостратегический инструмент нанесения максимального военного и экономического ущерба России, выхолащивания абсолютно всего русского.

▫️Россия не могла молчаливо и опустив руки терпеть такие провокационные действия.

▫️Обеспечение государственной целостности, национальной безопасности и защита Русского мира – наше суверенное и беспрекословное право.

▫️Однако украинский «инвестпроект» оказался провальным и слишком «мутным». Здравомыслящие элиты в недружественных странах все более отчетливо осознают бесперспективность финансовых вливаний в данном направлении, их полную неокупаемость.

▫️Рецепт решения прост, и мы намерены ему следовать: добиваться окончательного и устойчивого завершения конфликта, а не его заморозки.

مقال سعادة سفير روسيا الاتحادية في لبنان ألكسندر روداكوف في جريدة النهار.

العملية العسكرية الخاصّة: ثلاث سنوات من النضال من أجل العدالة.

النقاط الرئيسية:

▫️أوكرانيا ومن يقودوها من كبار المسؤولين، فقدوا ذاتيتهم السياسية منذ فترة طويلة وتحولوا إلى أداة جيوستراتيجية لإلحاق أقصى قدر من الضرر العسكري والاقتصادي بروسيا، وإلغاء كل شيء روسي على الإطلاق.

▫️ولا يمكن لروسيا أن تتسامح مع مثل هذه الأعمال الاستفزازية بصمت وهدوء.

▫️إن ضمان سلامة الدولة والأمن الوطني وحماية العالم الروسي هو حقنا السيادي الذي لا يقبل الشك.

▫️إن "مشروع الاستثمار" الأوكراني تحول إلى مشروع فاشل و"غامض" للغاية. فالنخب العاقلة في البلدان غير الصديقة أصبحت تدرك بشكل متزايد عدم جدوى الاستثمارات المالية في هذا الاتجاه وعدم وجود عائد منها على الإطلاق.

▫️الحلّ بسيط، ونحن نعتزم اتباعه: التوصّل إلى حلّ نهائي ومستدام للصراع، وليس تجميده.

🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement and answers to media questions following visit to Qatar (Doha, February 26, 2025)

💬 Sergey Lavrov: The visit to Qatar during which I held meetings with Emir of the State of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has concluded.

Our good relations go back a while. Today, we reaffirmed our commitment to expanding them comprehensively based on agreements reached by President Vladimir Putin and Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani during earlier contacts. <...>

We agreed to step up our activities across all areas, primarily, trade and economy, as well as energy as part of the Doha-based Gas Exporting Countries Forum, and interaction between the Qatar Investment Authority and the Russian Direct Investment Fund.

Humanitarian exchanges, promotion of tourism, and other cultural events are also part of our plans.

We discussed the Middle Eastern affairs at length, primarily, in light of the process that has been unfolding in Syria after the change of power. We are interested in keeping this process under control and making sure it does not spark civil strife, since the risk is still there.

<...>

We would like all external players, including the Arabs, the West, China, Russia, and Iran, to help normalise the situation in Syria. We are aware that the Syrian leadership (our Qatari partners confirmed this) is interested in seeing assistance to the reforms and normalisation processes in the country come in an even and balanced manner, where no one is trying to subordinate these processes to their geopolitical goals. Syria no longer wants to be a place for the external players to sort out their geopolitical differences.

We placed great emphasis on yet another issue which is the Palestinian-Israeli settlement and Israel-Lebanon relations.

We are concerned that the Israeli army takes more steps every day that are not provided for in the agreements with Hamas and Lebanon. These steps create situations on the ground that are at odds with the existing agreements and UN Security Council resolutions on Palestinian affairs and the Lebanese issue.

☝️ In this regard, Qatar and the Russian Federation share the importance of re-orienting the process towards respecting the principles approved by the UN Security Council. The establishment of a Palestinian state is a key issue. Any attempts to tank these Security Council resolutions and to replace the establishment of a Palestinian state with “resettling Palestinians across the region” will only set a time bomb into motion, as has happened multiple times over the many decades of ignoring the demands for a two-state solution.

From the Q&A session:

• We once again expressed our gratitude and appreciation to Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, for the discreet, pragmatic efforts undertaken by Qatar to facilitate the resolution of humanitarian issues in relations between Russia and Ukraine. Primarily, these concern the reunification of children with their families.

• Some suggest an idea of preserving the “line of contact.” First, this will not happen. Russia has a constitution based on the will of the people. Secondly, whatever is left of Ukraine should also be cleared of racist laws. Some of the people living there are more comfortable speaking Russian, and they want to preserve the traditions of their ancestors brought up in Russian culture.

• Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently stated that the issue of frozen Russian assets must be considered in conjunction with the retaliatory measures adopted by the Russian Federation affecting American companies’ interests. This is a sound reflection on the necessity of abandoning thieving methods and not expecting them to go unanswered.

🎙 Remarks by Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Vassily Nebenzia prior to the UNGA Vote on a Draft Resolution on the 80th Anniversary of the end of #WWII

📍 New York, March 4, 2025

💬 Vassily Nebenzia: On behalf of the group of main cosponsors – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, China, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and my country, Russia – I have the honor to present the draft resolution A/79/L.51, entitled “Eightieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War”.

This year we will commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Victory over Nazism, fascism and Japanese militarism. In 1945, the ideals of goodness, justice and humanity triumphed over the ugliest manifestations of the ideology of racial superiority. Our world, the United Nations, its Charter, which is the bedrock for contemporary international law – all these are the outcomes of that Victory.

🕯 This Victory came at a high price. Thus, the peoples of the Soviet Union sacrificed 27 million people, China – 35 million, the United States – about half a million people; Serbia organized the largest anti-fascist resistance and partisan movement in Europe.

There were millions of losses among other members of the anti-Hitler coalition, and not only in Europe but also in Latin America and Asia. There were hostilities on the African continent as well. Furthermore, hundreds of thousands of African soldiers were sent to the European front. When they returned home, those heroes played an important role in launching the decolonization process.

☝️ The Victory was only possible owing to the unprecedented unity of the Powers and their peoples in the face of absolute evil. It was not by chance that the members of the anti-Hitler coalition dubbed themselves the United Nations. And as members of the international organization that bears precisely that name, we are bound today by our shared duty to honor the feat of our heroes and to remember both those who fell on the battlefields and the unprecedented sacrifices among civilians: we must remember all those who died from hunger, who were sent to gas chambers or shot in mass executions.

In order to honor the memory of the victims of World War II, the draft resolution provides for a special commemorative meeting of the UN General Assembly to be held during the second week of May, 2025, and establishes holding such meetings every five years thereafter.

In conclusion, allow me to express my deep gratitude to all the countries who co-sponsored the document, the broad geographical representation of these countries is the best indicator of the great importance of this memorable date for the international community.

👉 And we trust that this resolution will be adopted by consensus.

⚡️ Комментарий официального представителя МИД России М.В.Захаровой в связи с развитием ситуации в Сирии (7 марта 2025 года)

💬 Встревожены резким обострением обстановки в Сирии.

Поступает информация о масштабных боестолкновениях в провинциях Латакия и Тартус с участием сирийских силовых структур и вооруженных формирований, называющих себя «местным сопротивлением».

Сообщается о большом числе убитых и раненых с обеих сторон. В ряде крупных городов страны, включая административные центры упомянутых губернаторств, введён комендантский час.

❗️ В этих критических обстоятельствах призываем всех авторитетных сирийских лидеров, способных оказать влияние на дальнейшее развитие ситуации «на земле», сделать всё возможное для скорейшего прекращения кровопролития и недопущения жертв среди мирного населения.

В непростых условиях переходного периода, который сейчас переживает #Сирия, первостепенное значение имеют поддержание национального согласия, укрепление безопасности граждан, соблюдение их законных прав вне зависимости от национальной или религиозной принадлежности.

☝️ Подтверждаем нашу принципиальную позицию в поддержку суверенитета, единства и территориальной целостности Сирийской Арабской Республики. Рассчитываем, что все государства, имеющие влияние на обстановку в Сирии, будут содействовать её нормализации. Настроены на тесную координацию усилий с зарубежными партнёрами в интересах скорейшей деэскалации ситуации.

The Russian Foreign Ministry wishes a very happy International Women's Day to all the amazing women worldwide!

Dear women, colleagues, loved ones and family members — we wish you all the best 💐

May you enjoy happiness and love ❤️

⚡ Foreign Ministry Statement on Kiev regime’s latest barbaric attack on Russian civilians

In the early hours of March 11, the neo-Nazi Kiev junta once again made its cowardly terrorist nature clear to everyone by attacking Russian regions, including Moscow and the Moscow Region, with a barrage of UAVs carrying projectiles.

According to the Defence Ministry, duty air defence facilities downed 337 drones, including 126 over the Kursk Region, 91 over the Moscow Region, and 38 over the Bryansk Region, as well as 25 over the Belgorod Region, and 22 over the Ryazan Region. Unfortunately, multiple casualties, including children, were reported.

The Investigative Committee of Russia has swiftly launched an investigation into this crime. The circumstances of the attack are being established. All those involved and responsible for this and other terrorist attacks on our land will be held accountable.

The shelling of population centres in many Russian regions, as well as ruthless and indiscriminate killings of civilians, are indicative of the agony of the neo-Nazi Zelensky-led regime, which has bogged down in terrorism, lawlessness, corruption, and cynicism. Overcome by impotent rage, and in an effort to please its Western handlers, the regime strives to kill and maim as many innocent people as it can.

Without a doubt, this drone attack was planned in advance and timed to coincide with today’ s US-Ukraine contacts on conflict resolution held in Saudi Arabia. It was also a message to new OSCE Secretary General Feridun Sinirlioglu, now in Moscow on a working visit. Using these barbaric methods, the Kiev clique, which is suffering daily defeats on the battlefield, is trying to prove its ability to negotiate “from a position of strength.”

The Zelensky regime, which has lost its grip on reality, has clearly showed a glaring lack of political will for achieving peace and negotiated settlement of the conflict. It remains obsessed with the idea to defeat Russia, widely using cynical methods of terror and seeking to draw its allies into its aggressive actions.

❗️ Clearly, the blame for this attack lies with the countries that continue to stubbornly and irresponsibly flood Ukraine’ s ruling clique with lethal weapons, thereby enabling its bloody acts.

The anti-humane Kiev regime has made clear as day its neo-Nazi and terrorist nature, impotence, and inability to achieve and honour agreements. It has long deserved to be unambiguously and resolutely denounced by all conscientious governments and international entities. Further supporting it is tantamount to being complicit in crimes committed by the Zelensky-led junta.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview to the US bloggers Mario Naufal, Larri Johnson and Andrew Napolitano (Moscow, March 12, 2025)

Key talking points:

• I think what is going on in the United States is a return to normalcy. <...> The fact is that a normal administration without any, you know, unchristian ideas came to power and the reaction was such an explosion in the media, in the politics all over the world is very interesting and very telling.

• When we met in Riyadh with Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz and Steve Witkoff they suggested the meeting and they said, look, we want normal relations in the sense that the foundation of the American foreign policy under the Donald Trump administration is the national interest of the United States. But at the same time, we understand that other countries also have their national interest.

• It is very well understood that countries like the United States and Russia would never have their national interest the same. They would not coincide maybe even 50 or less percent. But when they do coincide this situation must be used to develop this simultaneous and similar interest. But when the interests do not coincide and contradict each other then the responsible countries must do everything not to allow this contradiction to degenerate into confrontation, especially military confrontation which would be disastrous for many other countries.

• The beginning of the special military operation was a decision because all other attempts, all other alternatives to bring things into some positive dimension failed for ten years after the illegal coup in Kiev, in violation of the deal signed the night before and guaranteed by the Germans, French and Poles.

• I don't think the Americans would drop from NATO. At least President Trump never hinted that this might be the case. But what he did bluntly say was that if you want us to protect you, to give you security guarantees, you pay what is necessary.

• But President Trump doesn't want to provide these security guarantees to Ukraine under Zelensky. He has his own view of the situation which he bluntly presents every now and then, that this war should never have started – that pulling Ukraine into NATO in violation of its Constitution, in violation of the Declaration of Independence of 1991, on the basis of which we recognized Ukraine as a sovereign state. For several reasons including that this Declaration was saying no NATO, no blocs, neutral status. Another thing which this Declaration also confirmed and solidified - all rights of Russian and all other national minorities are to be respected.

• Europe and the UK they certainly want this to continue. The way they received Zelensky in London after the scandal in Washington, it's an indication that they want to raise the stakes and they are preparing something to pressure the Donald Trump administration back into some aggressive action against Russia.

• It's not about the territories, it's about the people who were deprived of their history by law. Territories are important only because people live on these territories. The people who live on the territories are descendants of those who for hundreds of years were building Odessa & other cities on those very lands who were building ports, roads, who were founding those lands and who associated with the history of this land.

❗️ The Americans know that we would not betray our commitments, legal commitments, the political commitments which we develop with China.

Комментарий Посольства Российской Федерации в Ливанской Республике 🇷🇺

Перспектива военного поражения киевского режима пугает его европейских союзников, которые в целях недопущения подобного сценария вновь заговорили о возможности размещения на Украине воинских подразделений отдельных стран НАТО в качестве некоего «миротворческого контингента».

На встрече в Лондоне 2 марта с участием лидеров ряда государств Европы и Канады ими был представлен совместный план развертывания на Украине европейских войск, выступающих в роли «гарантов» ее «безопасности и соблюдения мира». Лондон и Париж собираются представить план Президенту США Д.Трампу, чтобы заручиться его поддержкой. России, очевидно, он будет предъявлен явочным порядком.

В связи с этим хотели бы отметить следующее.

Западные военнослужащие находятся на Украине с 2015 г. Под видом инструкторов и советников они обучают личный состав ВСУ, обслуживают поступающую из-за рубежа военную технику и вооружения, активно занимаются планированием, а также осуществлением боевых операций и террористических атак против России. О присутствии в стране таких военных свидетельствуют регулярные сводки с фронта и истерики в европейских СМИ по поводу гибели «невинных иностранных специалистов».

Очередные псевдомиротворческие инициативы преследуют циничную цель не только затянуть конфликт и добиться его опасной эскалации, но и воспрепятствовать намечающимся подвижкам в плане организации возможных мирных переговоров.

Недопустима и аморальна сама постановка вопроса о развертывании «миротворческих сил» теми, кто вносит существенную лепту в накачку Украины вооружениями, спонсирует террористическую деятельность ее боевиков против России и наравне с киевским режимом несет ответственность за его военные преступления.

بيان سفارة روسيا الاتحادية في الجمهورية اللبنانية 🇷🇺

إن احتمال الهزيمة العسكرية لنظام كييف يخيف حلفاءه الأوروبيين. لذلك من أجل منع مثل هذا السيناريو، بدأ القادة الأوروبيون الحديث من جديد، عن إمكانية نشر وحدات عسكرية في أوكرانيا، من دول حلف شمال الأطلسي، كنوع من "قوات حفظ السلام".

في الثاني من مارس/آذار هذا العام، عقد اجتماع في لندن بمشاركة زعماء عدد من الدول الأوروبية وكندا، قُدِّم فيه مشروع خطة مشتركة لنشر قوات أوروبية في أوكرانيا، تعمل كـ"ضامنة" لـ"أمنها والحفاظ على السلام"، بمثابة "خيط أحمر". وتخطط لندن وباريس لتقديم هذه الخطة إلى الرئيس الأميركي دونالد ترامب للحصول على دعمه. ومن الواضح أن هذه الخطة ستُعرض على روسيا دون إشعار مسبق.

في هذا الصدد نود أن نشير إلى ما يلي:

إن العسكريين الغربيين يتواجدون في أوكرانيا منذ عام 2015. وتحت ستار المدربين والمستشارين، يقومون بتدريب أفراد القوات المسلحة الأوكرانية، وصيانة المعدات العسكرية والأسلحة التي يتلقونها من الخارج، ويشاركون بنشاط في تخطيط وتنفيذ العمليات القتالية والهجمات الإرهابية ضد روسيا. يتجلى وجود هؤلاء العسكريين في البلاد في التقارير المنتظمة الواردة من الجبهة، وفي هستيريا وسائل الإعلام الأوروبية حول مقتل "المتخصصين الأجانب الأبرياء".

إن مبادرات حفظ السلام الحديثة الزائفة تسعى إلى تحقيق هدف ساخر لا يتمثل فقط في إطالة أمد الصراع وتحقيق تصعيده الخطير، بل وأيضاً في منع التقدم الناشئ في تنظيم مفاوضات السلام المحتملة.

إن إثارة مسألة نشر "قوات حفظ السلام" من قبل أولئك الذين يساهمون بشكل كبير في ضخ الأسلحة الىأوكرانيا، ويرعون الأنشطة الإرهابية لمسلحيها ضد روسيا، يتحملون مع نظام كييف كامل المسؤولية عن جرائم الحربالتي ارتكبتها، وهذا أمر غير مقبول وغير أخلاقي.

🇷🇺 1️⃣1️⃣ years ago, on March 16, 2014, the historic referendum was held in Crimea – residents of the peninsula unequivocally voted FOR reuniting with their historical homeland, Russia.

🗳 Participation in the referendum was both voluntary and free. An impressive 96.77 percent of the Crimean population voted in favour of becoming part of Russia, with a blasting turnout of 83.1 percent. In Sevastopol, 95.6 percent supported the move, with a turnout of 89.5 percent.

The Crimean referendum was monitored by 135 international observers from 23 countries, alongside 1,240 observers from Crimean organisations, and was reported on by 623 journalists representing 169 media outlets.

🎙 From the briefing by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova (March 13, 2025):

On that day, Crimean citizens made a free, conscious and independent choice regarding their own and their children’s future. This was a fair and long-awaited decision for Crimeans as well as for all citizens of our country.

✍️ Following the free expression of will by the Crimean people, the Republic of Crimea signed an international treaty with Russia on March 18, 2014, formalising its accession.

Over the past 11 years, the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol have become fully integrated into the political, legal and economic framework of Russia. Significant infrastructure projects have been undertaken, including the construction of a bridge across the Kerch Strait, the Crimea-Kuban gas pipeline, the Tavrida federal motorway, Simferopol airport, and hundreds of other healthcare, educational, social and engineering facilities.

☝️ Interfaith accord and harmony are preserved in the peninsula, interests of all ethnic groups are taken into account. A complete national and cultural autonomy for the Crimean Tatars has been established, with their representatives participating in local government. The Crimean Tatar language has been recognised as a state language alongside Russian and Ukrainian.

Economic breakthrough and overall advancements achieved over these years, coupled with an unprecedented rise in living standards, the development of infrastructure, and the established interfaith peace in the peninsula, all reaffirm that the choice made by the Crimeans 11 years ago was the only correct one.
