Невозможно решить палестинскую проблему, опираясь исключительно на вопросы экономики, считает Президент России Владимир Путин. Он отметил, что кроме материального характера, есть вопросы связанные с духовной сферой.
Владимир Путин добавил, что Россия всегда исходила из того, что должно быть реализовано решение о создании двух государств. Президент РФ также предложил вернуться к формату «четверки» по Ближнему Востоку и расширить его.

🎙 Remarks and answers to media questions by President of Russia Vladimir Putin following the results of the XVI BRICS Summit in Kazan (October 24, 2024)
💬 Vladimir Putin: The XVI BRICS Summit has just concluded with great success.
It marked the culmination of Russia's chairmanship of the group and was one of the significant events on the global political calendar.
<...>
Regarding the Kazan Summit itself, delegations from 35 countries and six international organisations participated in it, as you are already aware. Such broad representation clearly underscores the authority and role of BRICS, as well as the growing interest in cooperation with us from states that are indeed pursuing truly independent and sovereign policies.
<...>
📄 The Kazan Declaration which summed up the discussions was approved at the Summit.
<...>
In Kazan, we reaffirmed that BRICS is not a closed format; it is open to all those who share BRICS values. The Group's members are prepared to work towards identifying joint solutions without external pressure or attempts to enforce narrow approaches upon anyone. BRICS is compelled to respond to the burgeoning demand in the world for such cooperation. Accordingly, we devoted particular attention to the matter of potential BRICS expansion through the establishment of a new category — that of partner states.
The Summit has concluded. I wish to express my gratitude once again to all my colleagues, who travelled to Kazan, for their contributions to our collective efforts. I must highlight that their input was quite substantial.
***
Answers to media questions. Key points:
Prospects for the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis
• All the parties are in favour of resolving the conflict at the earliest opportunity, preferably through peaceful means. You may be aware that the People's Republic of China and Brazil put forward an initiative at the General Assembly in New York. Numerous BRICS nations endorse these initiatives, and we, in turn, extend our gratitude to our partners for their attention to this conflict and their pursuit of methods to resolve it.
• We are ready to discuss a peace agreement in any shape or form based on the reality on the ground. That is to say, I am not ready to accept anything else.
On alleged Russia's interference in the US electoral process and the prospects for normalization of Russia-US relations
• This issue has been making headlines for years now. <...> However, after an investigation conducted in the United States, everyone, including US Congress, concluded that it was utter nonsense and that nothing of the kind ever happened. There were no contacts back then, and there are none now.
• Russia-US relations after the elections depend primarily on the United States. If the United States is open to building normal relations with Russia, we will do the same. If not, so be it. This is up to the future Administration.
On global and regional stability, security and building a just world
• Is it fair in terms of security that you have for years disregarded our repeated requests to our partners not to expand NATO eastward? Is it fair that you lied through your teeth, saying that the bloc would not expand while doing precisely that in violation of your commitments? <...> Is it fair that you violated your commitments within the OSCE, when all Western countries signed a document stating that no country may ensure its security at the expense of other countries?
❗️This is not fair. We want to change this, and we will change it.
The situation in the Middle East
• I believe that there is no person on Earth whose heart does not bleed when they see what is happening in Gaza. Over 40,000 people, mostly women and children, have been killed.
• The solution can only be found by addressing the root causes, the primary one being the lack of a fully recognized, sovereign Palestinian state. It is necessary to implement all relevant UN Security Council resolutions on this matter.

📄 The Russian Foreign Ministry has compiled and issued a report on the indigenous peoples rights situation in certain countries, focusing on the analysis of the situation with native population of the six member-states of the Arctic Council — Denmark, Canada, Norway, US, Finland, and Sweden, as well as in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
👉 Read the report in full
The US, Canada, and their allies have recently been stepping up their activities at international platforms, in regional formats, and the media, trying to shift the focus from the vital problems of indigenous peoples in North America and the Western countries of the Arctic Region, as well as in Australia, New Zealand and Japan to the so-called “violations of indigenous peoples’ rights” in Russia and in a number of major developing countries.
❗️At the same time, practically all the above-mentioned countries have pursued, in one way or another, assimilation and discriminatory policy towards their aboriginal populations, which has created numerous socio-political and cultural problems. Nowadays, many countries develop mechanisms for coordination and cooperation with indigenous peoples.
There are common problems that indigenous peoples in various countries are confronted with:
• a gradual erosion of their traditional way of life as a result of earlier assimilation policies;
• violation of the indigenous peoples’ rights to lands of traditional inhabitance and natural resources;
• decay of the natural environment due to industrial development and certain countries’ overseas military activities;
• high unemployment and indigenous communities’ dependence on government subsidies.
The worst affected by these negative phenomena are the countries in the Arctic Region, where the above-mentioned problems are still relevant. As a result, there is a need for solutions, including those suggested by the international community, and this is the reason why these problems are covered in this separate report.
🇷🇺🇧🇾 This agenda was included in the first joint report on the human rights situation in certain countries, produced by the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Foreign Ministry of the Republic of Belarus, published in June 2024. The Russian Foreign Ministry’s annual reports on human rights issues also systematically address these subjects, including those related to the glorification of Nazism, the spread of neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance (the latest issue of that report was published in September, 2024).

🇷🇺🇵🇸 President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas held a meeting on the sidelines of the XVI BRICS Summit in Kazan (October 24, 2024)
💬 President Vladimir Putin: Mr President, friends,
During your visit to Moscow in August, we engaged in extensive discussions, exchanged views on the situation in the Middle East, reviewed crucial aspects of Russian-Palestinian cooperation, and also concurred that you would attend the #BRICS Summit in Kazan to continue our dialogue.
Regrettably, since our previous meeting, the situation in the region has not improved; on the contrary, it is deteriorating. The tragic events in the Gaza Strip have already led to more than 40,000 deaths and provoked tensions in Lebanon and other parts of the Middle East. Tensions are also escalating in the West Bank. We all bear witness to this.
Russia's principled position is consistent and absolutely impartial: we firmly advocate for an early cessation of bloodshed and the provision of humanitarian access to all those in need. We urge all parties to exercise restraint.
A lasting peace in the region can only be achieved through a political and diplomatic settlement based on recognised international legal grounds and platform, which provide for the establishment of an independent sovereign Palestinian State that would coexist in peace and security with Israel.
Russia has traditionally devoted special attention to the Middle East settlement issue. Among other efforts, we have been addressing this issue during our BRICS chairmanship. As you observed at the meeting and during bilateral contacts, BRICS countries have similar approaches. This was affirmed both by the extraordinary BRICS summit on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the discussion that took place here in Kazan.
Of course, Russia cannot overlook the needs of the people. As you are aware, we have transferred over 800 tonnes of supplies, including food and medicine, to the Palestinians. Naturally, we will do everything within our power to steer the situation towards the resolution of all the problems in this area.

🇷🇺🇰🇼 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement and answers to media questions following talks with Foreign Minister of Kuwait Abdullah Ali Al-Yahya (Moscow, October 28, 2024)
💬 We welcomed the growing interest from the governments, agencies, and business circles from both countries in expanding bilateral cooperation across all areas.
We focused in particular on the material foundation of our relations managed by the Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, and Scientific and Technical Cooperation, which has not convened for some time. We agreed to expedite preparations for its seventh session in Moscow. We aim to accomplish this before the year runs out.
<...>
An additional decision will be made to simplify visa regulations. Some time ago, Russia introduced electronic visas for many countries, including Kuwait. Our Kuwaiti friends informed us that they will soon make a similar decision, which will greatly streamline bureaucratic processes for visits to Kuwait and, accordingly, the Russian Federation.
✈️ Direct flights are another joint project that we expect to implement soon. Routes connecting Kuwait City to Moscow, Makhachkala, and Sochi are being discussed.
This will expand opportunities for tourism and people-to-people contacts, including businesspeople and cultural figures.
We also noted that the Agreement on Military-Technical Cooperation between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of the State of Kuwait entered into force this year. This agreement provides for establishing another intergovernmental commission to deal with this matter, allowing for collaboration in this area, including maintenance and modernisation of the military-technical products supplied to Kuwait by Russia earlier.
<…>
We discussed international issues substantially, with a particular focus on the Middle East settlement. The top priorities include halting the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and tensions that have been mounting along the Israel-Lebanon border. We reiterated the importance for urgent measures to cease hostilities, alleviate tensions, address humanitarian issues, and help refugees to return to their homes. Proper conditions must be put in place if we want to achieve these goals.
We must not lose sight of the long-term goal of achieving a lasting settlement as we work on these urgent matters. This goal can be achieved through a two-state solution with the establishment of 🇵🇸 a Palestinian state in line with UN resolutions. Our commitment to this goal was fully reaffirmed today.
We engaged in a discussion regarding the situation in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, where the obstruction of safe international navigation is an issue. In collaboration with Kuwait, we advocate for addressing this matter through political and diplomatic means, eschewing any resort to military force or strikes 🇾🇪 on Yemeni territory. In any event, this problem can only be definitively resolved through interethnic dialogue, involving all Yemeni parties and facilitated by the United Nations.
In relation to the 🇸🇾 Syrian Arab Republic, we have actively endorsed the normalisation process between Syria and the League of Arab States. Syria has been reinstated as a full-fledged member of this organisation. We support the prevailing sentiments among Arab countries towards assisting the Syrian Government in tackling critical social and economic challenges, primarily stemming from the illegal unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies.
<…>
We exchanged views on the situation in Ukraine and expressed our gratitude to our Kuwaiti friends for their balanced and unbiased stance on this matter.

30 октября заместитель Министра иностранных дел Российской Федерации С.В.Вершинин принял Посла Иорданского Хашимитского Королевства в Москве Халеда Шавабку.
Состоялся подробный обмен мнениями по текущей обстановке в зоне арабо-израильского конфликта в условиях продолжающейся военной операции Израиля в секторе Газа и силовых рейдов на Западном берегу р.Иордан. Отдельное внимание было уделено ситуации вокруг Ближневосточного агентства помощи палестинским беженцам и организации работ (БАПОР), являющегося уникальной и безальтернативной структурой по оказанию комплексного содействия палестинцам как на оккупированной территории, так и в соседних арабских странах. Подчеркнута важность поддержки мандата и усилий БАПОР.
