💬 Commentary of the Russian Ambassador to Lebanon H.E. Mr. Alexander Rudakov
On the occasion of World Press Freedom Day
(National News Agency, May 3rd)
Key points:
🔹 The right to seek, receive, and impart information is enshrined in international law and resonates deeply with our values.
🌐 We observe a concerning trend: information warfare has become a tool of geopolitical pressure. The West’s handling of the Ukraine crisis illustrates this vividly.
🇱🇧 Lebanese journalists have demonstrated great courage, often at great personal risk, to ensure the truth is heard. We commend their efforts and stand in solidarity with those who use the pen to serve the people, not foreign agendas.
▫️ Russia calls for a truly multipolar information world – one that respects sovereignty, cultural identity, and the right of all to hear diverse perspectives.
