🇷🇺🇺🇳 Permament Mission of the Russian Federation to the UN:
🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at UNSC briefing regarding the acts of sabotage at the Nord Stream pipeline (11 July 2023)
Read in full
💬 At our initiative, the Security Council has remained seized on this matter for several months by now. We note that regardless of the format of discussion and positions of states on the draft resolution that we proposed, almost all Council members unwaveringly condemned this crime and underscored the importance of finding out the truth and identifying the perpetrators.
We expect the authorities of Germany 🇩🇪, Denmark 🇩🇰 and Sweden 🇸🇪 to take concrete steps to conduct an objective and transparent investigation into all the circumstances of what happened with a mandatory involvement of Russian investigative authorities and other interested parties.
<…>
🔹 We have also noted that the authorities of Germany, Denmark and Sweden claim in their joint letter that access to the crime scene is allegedly open. In that case, we will proceed from the assumption that our investigative bodies and experts can examine it independently at any time as part of the criminal proceedings initiated by the Office of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation to look into a case of international terrorism.
<…>
🇷🇺 The Russian Federation will raise the issue of sabotage of Nord Streams in the Security Council until the perpetrators are identified and held accountable.
We will use all means at our disposal to achieve that goal.
<...>
☝️ The Council must make it clear that crimes against transboundary pipeline infrastructure that pose a direct threat to international peace and security will not go unpunished. Only in this way can we prevent the recurrence of such crimes, to which any state can fall victim.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview with Lenta.ru online newspaper (July 13, 2023)
Key points:
🔸 We have to admit that Vladimir Zelensky’s Western curators completely refuse any form of de-escalation. The Kiev regime has directly and immediately rejected the possibility of talks on peace initiatives proposed by China, Brazil and African countries.
🔸 Must be recognized the new territorial reality following the free expression of the will of residents of the Donbass people’s republics and the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions in favour of political integration with Russia.
❗️ The Kiev authorities must guarantee the rights of Russian speakers and ethnic minorities in Ukraine, including the official status of the Russian language.
🔸 We warned the UN Security Council about the plans of the Ukrainian neo-Nazis to destroy the dam back in October last year. The lack of response on the part of the United Nations Secretariat has reinforced the confidence of the Ukrainian authorities that they will get away with it.
🔸 The United States and its NATO satellites are creating risks of a direct armed clash with Russia, and this is fraught with catastrophic consequences.
🔸 Russia is ready to help strengthen the sovereignty of African states and all their security dimensions in every possible way. This is the key idea of the upcoming the Russia-Africa Summit in St Petersburg.
🔸 Aggressive steps by unfriendly states create an existential threat for Russia. We will have to uphold our right to free and sovereign development using all available means.
🔸 We realise that a stronger multipolar world is a reality, rather than someone’s whim. The updated Foreign Policy Concept proclaims Russia’s civilisational mission as a world power.

💬 The extensive and wide-ranging agenda of the Russia-China dialogue requires coordinating our positions regularly, which makes this meeting today rather timely.
We support ASEAN’s determination to maintain its constructive role in the Asia-Pacific region and support ASEAN-centric mechanisms. Along with China, we are committed to strengthening them. We presented all these approaches to Foreign Minister of Indonesia and ASEAN Chair Retno Marsudi yesterday. We will continue to promote this principled line in the course of the upcoming events in Jakarta, the East Asia Summit and the ASEAN Regional Forum. I look forward to a productive dialogue.

❗️ О трансграничном механизме доставки гуманитарной помощи в Сирию 🇸🇾
10 июля истёк срок действия резолюции 2672 СБ ООН о международном гуманитарном содействии САР, включая «трансграничный» механизм (ТГМ) доставки помощи в Идлиб без согласования с Дамаском. 11 июля СБ ООН не смог достичь компромисса по её продлению, в результате ТГМ прекращает функционировать.
🇷🇺 Российская сторона выступает за деполитизацию насущных задач по оказанию комплексной поддержки всех нуждающихся сирийцев на всей территории страны без дискриминации и предварительных условий, в соответствии с нормами международного гуманитарного права (МГП) и руководящими принципами гуманитарного содействия, закреплёнными в резолюции 46/182 ГА ООН.
🇺🇸 США и их союзников интересует сугубо расширение произвольного ТГМ, использующегося ими для подрыва суверенитета и территориального единства Сирии, а также «подпитки» листированных террористов в Идлибе. Исходя из этого, было выдвинуто фактически ультимативное требование о продлении ТГМ на 12 месяцев, а все подлинно гуманитарные формулировки российской стороны старательно «вымараны» из текста проекта.
В то же время целесообразность сохранения данного произвольного механизма, созданного в 2014 году в качестве чрезвычайной и временной меры, в принципе вызывает всё больше вопросов. В феврале руководство САР своим суверенным и добровольным решением об открытии двух дополнительных КПП («Баб ас-Салям» и «Ар-Раи») наглядно продемонстрировало, что помощь можно и нужно доставлять в страну в координации с Дамаском и в соответствии с нормами МГП.
Тем не менее и несмотря на всё это, Россия была готова сохранить ТГМ в нынешних параметрах (1 КПП на 6 месяцев) и продлить соответствующую резолюцию. Однако российский проект был заблокирован, что лишний раз подтвердило – США и их союзникам нет дела до страданий сирийцев, нет никакого желания помочь, есть лишь поражающие своим цинизмом и лицемерием установки спекулировать на нуждах людей для достижения своих узкокорыстных политических целей.
