Ambassador Gennady Gatilov:

▪️ 10 years since the tragedy in Odessa. No one has faced justice for the murder of 48 people.

❗️ The casual and “inert” response from international organizations to the massacre only emboldened the Kiev regime to eradicate all who rejected the 2014 coup.

🌟 The Victory Banner was initially raised over the Reichstag on May 1, 1945.

📸 On May 2, after the last Nazi defenders had surrendered, it was moved to the top of the building, where the iconic photo was taken to immortalize the Soviet triumph over great evil.

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Russia will join the Diplomatic Conference in Geneva (May 13-24) to finalize an International Legal Instrument on Intellectual Property, Genetic Resources & Traditional Knowledge.

🤝 We are committed to constructively resolve any outstanding issues and adopt the document.

🇷🇺 MFA Spox Maria Zakharova:

🇨🇭 Switzerland's freezing of Russian assets ($14.3 billion), including Bank of Russia reserves, is a gross violation of international law and the UN Charter.

❗️ Any infringement on Russian property rights and interests is blatant & cynical theft.

💬 #Zakharova : MFA Russia 🇷🇺 has published a dedicated Report on the human rights situation in the US.

The US:

❌ Conducts military operations in Europe and the Middle East
❌ Creates secret prisons
❌ Violates journalists' rights

🌐 April 24 marks the International Day of #Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace.

💬 FM Sergey #Lavrov : It is our common duty to preserve the United Nations as the hard-won epitome of multilateralism and coordination of international politics.

🇷🇺 MFA Spox Maria Zakharova:

▪️ On April 19, Russian military correspondent Semyon Eremin was killed in a targeted drone strike carried out by the AFU.

▪️ We consider this deliberate and cold-blooded murder of a journalist as yet another confirmation of the ugly terrorist…

🇷🇺 FM Sergey Lavrov:

🇨🇭 Switzerland has transformed from a neutral into an openly hostile country. Not being a part of NATO/EU, it has joined all Western sanctions.

🤷‍♂️ It's strange that Switzerland so hospitably opens its doors thinking it still enjoys reputation of a mediator.

❗ We express our extreme concern at yet another dangerous escalation in the Middle East.

We call on all parties involved in the conflict to exercise restraint. We expect them to resolve the existing problems through political and diplomatic means.

#Opinion by Gennady Gatilov

🇨🇭 Switzerland's plans to hold a 'peace summit on Ukraine' are an attempt to reclaim the country's reputation as an 'honest broker' and the 'center of European diplomacy'. One could say – 'better late than never', even though some things tend to happen far…

❗️ The heinous terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall on March 22, 2024, has shocked Russia and the international community.

The masterminds, organisers, and accomplices will be identified and will receive just punishment.

🇷🇺 Russian FM Sergey #Lavrov in Beijing:

🇨🇭 Any international initiatives, which not only fail to consider Russia's position, but completely ignore it and promote the utterly futile 'Zelenskiy’s peace formula', are pointless and completely detached from reality.

🌐 At the 60th Geneva International Discussions on Security & Stability in the South Caucasus, representatives from Abkhazia, Georgia, South Ossetia, Russia & the US reaffirmed commitment to dialogue under the GID.

🎙Maria #Zakharova :

⚔️ #NATO - the most aggressive military alliance in modern history - was created 75 years ago.

🔥 Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya - wherever it went, devastation, disintegrated states, poverty, humanitarian disasters and mass human casualties followed.

🇷🇺 Russia at #HRC55 :

🤐 Under Western indulgence & incitement, Zelenskiy has completely destroyed the opposition and independent media in Ukraine, declared a hunt for dissidents.

❗️ Kiev openly boasts its involvement in assasinations and acts of terrorism against journalists.
