🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions following his visit to the Republic of Burundi
📍 Bujumbura, May 30, 2023
💬 We are interested in more vigorous and direct contacts between Russian businesses and Burundian companies. The high-level Burundian delegation’s attendance at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (#SPIEF23) will create a good opportunity for this.
Despite the West’s attempts to preserve and even enhance its dominance, a multipolar arrangement is forming in the world, and Africa should take an independent position that befits it in this international order.
☝️ We value Burundi’s balanced position on the developments in Ukraine and its understanding of the root causes of this crisis.
🌾 Other African countries badly need fertilisers. They want Russian fertiliser supplies to continue and expand. We are ready for this.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the BRICS Foreign Ministers Meeting (Cape Town, June 1, 2023)
Read in full
Key talking points:
🌐 The world is rapidly changing right before our eyes. The countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America are strengthening their economic positions and showing their commitment and readiness to uphold their sovereign national interests and to play an equal role in global processes.
• A more just polycentric international order is taking shape at an increasingly fast pace. The unipolar system that used to create privileges for a small group of countries by way of imposing on all others unspecified rules and standards.
• The hegemonism and one-sidedness that continue to impact the Global South and the Global East are still rife. The West is using sanctions and financial blackmail to coerce sovereign nations into choosing specific economic models and trading partners thus limiting their potential.
• These neo-colonial approaches and practices that are steeped in the desire to live at the expense of others have the most negative impact on communication between countries and are untenable in today’s world.
• I am convinced that, given the circumstances, the role of #BRICS in helping resolve global problems should increase, especially so since our association remains an example of genuine multilateralism, which is inclusive, universal and non-discriminatory.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to media questions following the BRICS Foreign Ministers Meeting (Cape Town, June 1, 2023)
❓Question: Many countries have been declaring their desire to be invited into the BRICS group. For instance, today, you met with the delegation from Saudi Arabia, who also expressed their desire to do that. Could you please tell us about the progress that is being made in this direction and why do you think BRICS attracts so many countries?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: Indeed, we discussed this issue, and I did discuss it with the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud this morning.
As regards the approach of #BRICS, it is still being shaped, it is evolving. The sherpas reported to us about the results they reached at this stage. The Chair authorised them to continue after they listened to the comments made by each of us at the meeting.
BRICS is a different kind of structure. It is a new organisation based on the principles of equality, mutual respect, consensus, non-interference and strict adherence to the United Nations Charter, to all its principles in their interlinkages. It is not for BRICS to pick and choose something you like in this Charter for this particular situation and then to do the opposite for another situation. I think BRICS symbolises the evolution of the multipolar world, which is talked about very often, and more and more so. And the fact that more than 12 countries have expressed their desire to be part of BRICS is a testimony to that.
❓ Question: May I ask you to comment on the reports alleging that the BRICS Summit may be moved to China from South Africa? What do you think about these plans?
💬 Sergey Lavrov: As far as I know, this news story appeared in a single British tabloid of some sort.
And I do not read English papers.

🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦 On June 1-2, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov took part in a #BRICS Foreign Ministers Meeting in Cape Town chaired by South Africa.
The Ministers held an in-depth discussion on a wide range of current international issues, cooperation at multilateral venues, ways to strengthen the BRICS countries’ strategic partnership, BRICS institution building, and preparations for the 15th BRICS summit scheduled for August 22-24.
The delegation heads spoke out for promoting multilateralism, preserving the UN’s leading role in the maintenance of peace and security, ensuring sustainable development, including through broader use of Africa’s potential and combating climate change, as well as boosting cooperation to attain the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
They reaffirmed their resolve to continue working in the five countries’ key areas of strategic partnership in politics, security, culture and humanitarian ties.
One of their priorities is the further development of interaction on the economic and financial tracks and stable operations of the New Development Bank.
Following the meeting, the Foreign Ministers adopted a joint statement.
The agenda also included an extended Friends of BRICS meeting attended by Foreign Ministers from 12 developing countries: Argentina, Bangladesh, the Comoro Islands, Cuba, Gabon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

❗️В ночь на 6 июня киевский режим пошел на немыслимое преступление – подрыв дамбы Каховской ГЭС, в результате чего начался неконтролируемый сброс воды ниже по течению реки Днепр. Затоплены населенные пункты, тысячи людей нуждаются в эвакуации, и она уже началась. Колоссальный ущерб нанесен сельскому хозяйству региона и экосистеме устья Днепра.
ВСУ открыто заявляло о готовности подорвать эту дамбу для получения военного преимущества еще в прошлом году.
<...>
Мы предупреждали об этой угрозе международное сообщество и руководство ООН.
В конце октября 2022 года мы распространили в качестве официального документа СБ ООН ноту Постпредства о планах киевского режима по уничтожению Каховской ГЭС. Сожалеем, что наши призывы к Генсекретарю сделать всё возможное для предотвращения этого ужасающего преступления не были приняты во внимание.
<...>
Диверсия Киева преследует две очевидные задачи.
Во-первых, привлечь к себе максимальное внимание с целью создания благоприятных возможностей для перегруппировки подразделений ВСУ и продолжения широко разрекламированного «контрнаступления», которое явно захлебывается и не достигает поставленных Киевом целей.
Вторая задача сегодняшней атаки заключается в нанесении максимального гуманитарного ущерба населению обширных территорий, что неизбежно влечет за собой уничтожение крупного объекта водно-энергетической инфраструктуры.
<...>
Вызывает глубокое недоумение, что Секретариат ООН каждый раз открещивается от осуждения атак киевского режима, ссылаясь на недостаток информации, как, например, по поводу обстрелов ВСУ Запорожской АЭС, хотя всем очевидно, с какой стороны они происходят.
<...>
👉Призываем Генерального секретаря ООН дать, наконец, объективную оценку террористическим действия киевского режима и осудить их. Настаиваем на установлении всех обстоятельств варварской атаки на Каховскую ГЭС.

⚡️ Address by the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation to the parliaments and peoples of the world in connection with the terrorist attack perpetrated by the Kiev regime at the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant.
The Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation was indignant when it learned about the latest crime perpetrated by the Kiev regime, the blowing up of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant which led to a large-scale environmental disaster. The rise of the water level downstream of the Dnieper River has flooded dozens of towns and villages, and thousands of people are being evacuated. Enormous damage has been done to the ecosystem at the mouth of the Dnieper River, the water supply for the Republic of Crimea has been disrupted, and farmland in the Kherson region has been flooded.
In October 2022, the Russian Federation let the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the United Nations Security Council know about the possible threat of such a terrorist attack. Confident of its impunity, the Kiev regime went ahead and committed this crime. Realising its inability to take the territories of the new Russian regions by military force, the Ukrainian leadership decided to inflict maximum damage on the people who, during the referendum in September 2022, made a free choice in favour of reuniting with Russia.
Repeated shelling of the Kakhovka HPP by the Ukrainian forces in 2022, as well as the opening of the Dnepropetrovsk HPP locks which brought the Kakhovka reservoir water level to a critical level were indicative of their plans to commit this terrorist attack.
Clearly, Ukraine’s willingness to carry out these heinous attacks against civilians relies on the support of its Western curators who routinely place the blame for the crimes committed by Kiev on Russia. Now, too, the media have launched a campaign of disinformation and spreading lies in order to accuse Russia of blowing up the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant.
These same sources have previously accused Russia of attacking the Nord Stream pipelines despite the credible information provided by independent investigators which show that the United States and its satellites were behind that crime. With their silent agreement, that crime remains officially unsolved to this day. Clearly, the same forces will do anything to hide the truth about the perpetrators of the terrorist attack at the Kakhovka HPP.
The Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation hereby states that the entire responsibility for the terrorist attack at the Kakhovka HPP lies with the Kiev regime and the countries of the collective West that are covering up its crimes, and that are thus accomplices in the illegal actions by the Ukrainian authorities that are completely dependent on these countries.
The senators of the Russian Federation note that this is not the first time that the United Nations Secretariat has tried to avoid a substantive discussion of the Kiev regime’s crimes citing a lack of information, as was the case with the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant.
The Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation regards the terrorist attack committed by Ukrainian armed units at the Kakhovka HPP as a gross violation of international law and insists on establishing the circumstances of this barbaric attack on the Kakhovka HPP and full reimbursement for the damage caused to the life and health of the citizens of the Russian Federation, their property, as well as to the environment in the region.
❗️ The Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation calls on the parliaments of the countries around the world to give a principled assessment of the most recent crime committed by the Kiev regime and to focus its efforts on preventing international terrorist attacks in the future.
