🇷🇺🇧🇷 On May 9, President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of Brazil Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who is taking part in celebrations marking the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, held talks in Moscow.
💬 President Putin: Friends,
I am genuinely happy to meet with you, Mr. President. It has indeed been a long time since we last met. You intended to visit Moscow earlier, but work commitments prevented you, and I am delighted to welcome you to Russia. Welcome!
I have warm memories of our previous conversations both in Russia and in Brazil. They were held in a very friendly atmosphere and in a business-like manner. We managed to significantly improve relations between our nations largely thanks to our personal contacts.
As I have already mentioned, it has been long since you last came to Russia. Back then, in 2010, your visit was also in May, and a Joint Statement was adopted on the 65th Anniversary of the end of World War II.
☝️ Victory Day will always carry a special significance for our peoples who were fighting against Nazism. We are well aware that Brazil was among those who joined the anti-Hitler coalition. Your military units took part in combat activities in Italy and defended communication routes in the southern Atlantic thus contributing to our joint victory over the enemy. I know that Brazil, as much as Russia, honours the memory of those events and pays tribute to the feat of the victors.
I would like to point out that our relations continue to develop steadily, and high-level contact is being maintained. You always see the way to personally receive Russian representatives whenever they arrive in Brazil on working visits.
📈 Our bilateral trade is moving ahead. I want to stress that Brazil accounts for the largest share of our trade with Latin America and the Caribbean.
Russia is still the biggest exporter of petroleum products and mineral fertilisers to Brazil while your country maintains leading positions in the Russian food imports.
🤝 We are closely cooperating on the international stage, and we will revisit this topic later. This cooperation includes such venues as the UN, #BRICS and #G20.
I am happy to have this opportunity to discuss these and other matters of mutual interest with you, Mr. President.

Today, we remember those who achieved the Great Victory in bloody battles and liberated the world from fascism. We bow our heads before those who helped stop the enemy and never returned from the battlefield. We honour those who forged the weapons of Victory in the rear, who endured hunger, bombings, and devastation. We thank those who rebuilt the country from ruins in the shortest time.

💬 President Putin: Citizens of Russia, veterans, guests, comrade soldiers and sailors, sergeants and sergeant majors, midshipmen and warrant officers, comrade officers, generals and admirals!
I congratulate you on the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War!
Today, we are all united by the feelings of joy and grief, pride and gratitude, and admiration for the generation that crushed Nazism and won freedom and peace for all humanity at the cost of millions of lives.
We faithfully preserve the memory of those historic, glorious events. As the heirs of the victors, today we celebrate Victory Day as the most important holiday for the country, which the entire nation, each family, each of us holds dear. <...>
We remember the lessons of WWII and will never agree with the distortion of those events or attempts to justify the murderers and slander the true victors.
Our duty is to defend the honour of the Red Army soldiers and commanders, and the heroism of fighters of different ethnic backgrounds who will forever remain Russian soldiers in world history.
❗️ Russia has been and will continue to be an indestructible obstacle to Nazism, Russophobia and anti-Semitism, and will stand in the way of the violence perpetrated by the champions of these aggressive and destructive ideas.
Truth and justice are on our side. The whole of Russia, our society and all people support the participants in the special military operation. We are proud of their courage and spirit, and their steely determination that has always brought us Victory.
The Soviet Union bore the brunt of the enemy’s most savage and relentless assaults. Millions of people, once devoted solely to peaceful labour, took up arms and stood firm to the death on every hill, bridgehead, and defensive line. The outcome of WWII was determined by decisive victories in major battles of Moscow and Stalingrad, on the Kursk Bulge and the Dnieper River, by the courage of the defenders of Belarus, who were the first to face the invader, by staunch resistance at the Brest Fortress and in Mogilev, Odessa, Sevastopol, Murmansk, Tula and Smolensk, by the heroism of the residents of besieged Leningrad. <...>
The contribution of the peoples of Central Asia and the South Caucasus was immense. From these regions came a steady flow of trains delivering everything the front needed. Hospitals were established, and hundreds of thousands of evacuees found a second home there. <...>
We honour every veteran of the Great Patriotic War and bow our heads in remembrance of all who gave their lives for Victory. <...>
We bow our heads before our fallen comrades-in-arms who laid down their lives as heroes in a righteous battle for Russia.
Nearly 80% of the world’s population were drawn into the fiery orbit of WWII.
The complete defeat of Nazi Germany, militarist Japan and their satellites around the world was achieved through the combined efforts of the Allied Nations.
☝️ We will never forget that the opening of the Second Front in Europe, which took place after the decisive battles in the territory of the Soviet Union, hastened Victory. We highly appreciate the contribution made to our common struggle by the Allied armies, members of the Resistance, the courageous people of China, and all those who fought for a peaceful future.
We will continue to look up to our veterans, taking example from their wholehearted love of the Motherland and commitment to defending our homeland and the values of humanism and justice. We will give these traditions and this great heritage the biggest place in our hearts and will pass them on to future generations.
We will always rely on our unity in battle and in peaceful endeavours, in striving for strategic goals and tackling problems for the benefit of Russia and its greatness and prosperity.
Glory to the victorious nation!
Happy Victory Day!
Hurrah!

🇷🇺🇪🇬 On May 9, President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of the Arab Republic of Egypt Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who is taking part in celebrations marking the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, held talks in Moscow.
💬 President Putin: Mr President, friends,
We are genuinely happy to see you all in Moscow at the celebrations marking the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
As is well known, Egypt was a scene of some major battles during the war. The country became a foothold for our allies in the anti-Hitler Coalition in North Africa. In February 1945, Egypt officially declared war on the Axis, and so it is among the victorious states.
Our common fight against Nazism contributed to the establishment of ties between our countries. It is symbolic that the Soviet Union and Egypt established diplomatic relations precisely during the war, in August 1943, after Hitler troops were defeated at the Kursk Bulge.
🤝 Today, Russian-Egyptian relations are on the upswing. Our cooperation is multifaceted and based on the provisions of the Treaty on comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation.
We maintain regular and substantive political dialogue. We held our previous meeting on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in Kazan in October 2024 where your country participated for the first time as a full-fledged member.
📈 Egypt is among Russia’s key partners in Africa. Last year, trade rose by over 30% to reach a record-breaking $9 billion whereas in the first two months of this year it grew by over 80 percent more.
An intergovernmental Russian-Egyptian commission is active. Major joint projects are being continued and we firmly believe that we will move on in all those areas. Our nations coordinate their approaches to current international issues including the Middle East.
Mr President, friends, we are glad to have this opportunity to discuss with you these and many other current issues and areas or Russia-Egypt interaction.
Once again, welcome.

🇷🇺🇵🇸 President of Russia Vladimir Putin met with President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas (May 10, 2025)
💬 President Putin: Dear friend,
I would like to express my gratitude to you once again for finding the opportunity to come to Russia for celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. You are always a welcome guest here.
We had a highly rewarding meeting last October, on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Kazan. Earlier, in August, we held full-scale Russia-Palestine talks during your official visit to Moscow.
Russia has always paid special attention to its relations with Palestine. Our nations are linked by a strong bond of friendship, and we follow the tragic development of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which has claimed more than 51,000 lives, with deep empathy and concern. Tensions are also growing in the West Bank. The Gaza Strip is experiencing a humanitarian crisis in the fullest sense of the word.
As a friend of the Palestinian people, Russia is doing its best to provide regular aid: last year, we sent over 800 tonnes of cargo to those in need, including food, medicine, and essential items.
We have always been convinced that lasting peace in the region can only be achieved on a universally recognised international legal basis that provides for the establishment of two states for two peoples.
Russia consistently advocates for providing humanitarian access and resuming the Middle East peace process. Regretfully, the situation is only getting worse. As I have just said, we are talking about a humanitarian crisis, a disaster, which is, of course, aggravated by decisions to ban even humanitarian aid and supplies of essential items and electricity to the Gaza Strip. This causes particular concern.
Unfortunately, the Gaza Strip ceasefire agreement reached earlier this year was sabotaged, and the escalation continues.
We will certainly exchange views on all these issues and discuss what else Russia could do to de-escalate tensions.
We will also focus on current bilateral issues. In December, Moscow hosted a meeting of the Russian-Palestinian Intergovernmental Commission, which set guidelines for our further joint work.

✍️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the Heads of State and Government taking part in the 34th Arab League Summit (May 17, 2025)
The message reads, in part:
“Your meeting is being held at a difficult time.
The escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which has claimed tens of thousands of civilian lives, has dramatically aggravated tensions and enhanced many social and economic problems in adjacent countries and throughout the #MiddleEast as a whole.
The role of the Arab League as an effective mechanism for multilateral dialogue and interaction is especially important in this situation.
For its part, Russia has consistently supported the collective political and diplomatic efforts taken by Arab countries within both the Arab League and in other formats to resolve current contradictions in the region.
We believe that all disputes should be settled on the basis of existing norms of international law and unwavering respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states.
We intend to continue to develop all-round constructive dialogue with the Arab League and friendly relations with all its members.
In this connection, I would like to invite the leaders of all Arab League states, as well as the Secretary-General of the Arab League, to the first Russian-Arab Summit, which we plan to hold on October 15.
I am confident that this meeting will help strengthen multifaceted mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries and also search for ways to bring about peace, security and stability in the Middle East and North Africa.”
