Vassily Nebenzia:
We remind once again that violation of the historical and legal status quo of #Jerusalem, which is the cradle of the three monotheistic religions, and its Holy Sites is unacceptable. We note the stabilizing role of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which historically has come to protect Jerusalem’s Muslim sites and ensure free access to them.
In this regard, we strongly call on both sides to act in a reserved manner, and abstain from provocative steps and unilateral action.
The developments in Jerusalem that turn out highly explosive for the entire region, once again prove that finding a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict can no longer be postponed.
On our part, we will go on with efforts aimed at finding an international consensus and coordinating joint steps to be taken together with Israelis and Palestinians, as well as interested international stakeholders in order to effect a just solution of the Palestinian question.

Good morning from Salekhard - the center of the Yamalo-Nenets region located in the north. Here are some interesting facts about this unique place:
❄️ Of all the cities in the world, Salekhard is the only one located directly on the Arctic Circle.
❄️ The lowest temperature ever recorded there was -53.7 degrees, and the highest was +32.9.
❄️ Snow lies here up to 200 days a year, which makes the Salekhard climate one of the harshest among all Russian cities
❄️ One of the northernmost beaches in the world is located there.
❄️ Half a century ago, instead of glass in many houses, thin fish skin was stretched over the window frames.
❄️ Traditional children's rattles are made of deer hooves by the indigenous inhabitants of Yamal.
