⚡️ Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency (#Rosaviatsiya) Ukraine’s aviation authorities have backed the terrorist rhetoric of their leadership aimed at disrupting the operation of Russia’s civil aviation and issued an illegitimate NOTAM alleging that Russian airspace is unsafe. In response, Rosaviatsiya issued a NOTAM stating that all documents published by Ukraine concerning Russian airspace have no legal force and violate the Convention on International Civil Aviation. ❗️ Russia’s air transport system and ground infrastructure continue to operate as normal, receiving and dispatching flights, including those of foreign airlines. Rosaviatsiya, in coordination with other federal and regional authorities, is implementing additional measures to ensure the safe use of Russian airspace and strengthen the security of transport infrastructure on the ground.

#NoStatuteOfLimitations ◾️ On September 1-3, 2004, Russia endured one of the most horrific tragedies in its modern history – the inhuman Beslan terrorist attack. 22 years ago, a festive back-to-school ceremony at School No.1 was shattered by bursts of gunfire. The terrorists took 1,128 people hostage – children, their parents and teachers. They were forced into a cramped gymnasium, which the terrorists turned into a deadly trap. For nearly three days, the hostages were held at gunpoint without food or water. For hundreds of families, those three days lasted an eternity. During the counterterrorism operation, 811 people were rescued. But, to our great sorrow, not all could be saved. 🕯 The terrorist attack claimed 334 lives, including 186 children. We remember and mourn the children, their parents and teachers who perished during those terrible September days. We bow our heads before the courage of those who entered the school rigged with explosives, carried children out under fire and rescued hostages, risking and sacrificing their own lives. Beslan will forever remain our shared pain – a wound that does not heal with time. 💬 As President of Russia Vladimir Putin said on September 4, 2004: What happened in Beslan was an inhuman terrorist crime, unprecedented in its cruelty. It was a challenge to all of Russia, to our entire people. It was an attack on our country. The terrorists believe they are stronger than us. That they can intimidate us with their cruelty, paralyse our will and tear our society apart. And it may seem that we have a choice – to fight back or accept their demands. To surrender, to allow Russia to be destroyed and torn apart in the hope that they will eventually leave us alone. I am convinced that in reality we simply have no choice. We were and always will be stronger than them – through our moral values, our courage and our human solidarity. I saw that again last night. *** In memory of the victims of Beslan and other terrorist attacks, Russia observes the Day of Solidarity in the Fight Against Terrorism on September 3. On this day, we remember all our compatriots who were killed by terrorists in Beslan, at Dubrovka, in Budyonnovsk, in the apartment bombings in Moscow, Buynaksk and Volgodonsk, in the horrific Crocus City Hall tragedy, at the hands of Ukrainian militants in Donbass and the Kursk Region, in other terrorist attacks. ❗️ Russia considers it its duty to consistently combat international terrorism, promote the consolidation of international efforts against this pure evil and counter all its manifestations – including those perpetrated by neo-Nazis in Ukraine and other ideological followers of misanthropic ideologies. Despite the hybrid war unleashed against us – against Russia and the Russian people – by the “collective West”, including through terrorist and extremist groups of all stripes, Russia remains firmly committed to a principled fight against the terrorist threat and to strengthening counterterrorism security, relying on cooperation with partners genuinely interested in this work. – briefing by Russia's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, August 28, 2024 📷 © Head of the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania Sergey Menyaylo

#KievRegimeCrimes ⚡️ Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik: 💬 On September 1, a volunteer humanitarian convoy – four vehicles carrying food and medicines – was attacked by Ukrainian drones while approaching the city of Alyoshki in the Kherson Region. For several months, Ukrainian militants have been using drone strikes and remote mining to obstruct civilian traffic, including ambulances, travelling to and from Alyoshki. According to eyewitnesses, a Ukrainian drone hovered in front of the lead vehicle, forcing the volunteer group to stop. The drone then circled all the vehicles, giving its operator ample opportunity to verify that they were carrying only civilians and humanitarian cargo. The first vehicle was then struck by a Ukrainian UAV. Further strikes on the civilian vehicles followed one after another until the cars were badly damaged and the aid cargo destroyed. The drivers and volunteers accompanying the shipment managed to leave the vehicles and take cover in a nearby wooded area. According to preliminary information, one volunteer was injured. ❗️ An attack on civilian vehicles and civilians is unequivocally a war crime. This attack is further aggravated by the fact that the volunteers were carrying out a humanitarian mission to the city, which was deliberately disrupted.

🗓 On August 31 – September 1, 2026, President of Russia Vladimir Putin visited Bishkek, where he took part in the events of the anniversary Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (#SCO), marking the Organisation’s 25th anniversary. Key events of the anniversary Summit: 👏 Opening ceremony of the VI World Nomad Games 🎙 Meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of State 🎙 SCO Plus meeting 💬 From Vladimir Putin’s remarks at the meeting of the SCO Council of Heads of State: Over the past 25 years, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation has come a long way, becoming one of the independent and influential centres of the emerging #MultipolarWorld. Today, the SCO is effectively the largest regional association not only on our common Eurasian continent, but in the world as a whole. Its member states account for almost half of the world’s population and more than one-third of global GDP. ✍️ Following the meeting, a package of 28 documents was adopted, including the Bishkek Declaration on the 25th Anniversary of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. *** 🤝 On the sidelines of the Summit, Vladimir Putin held bilateral meetings with: 🇨🇳 President of China Xi Jinping 🇮🇳 Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi 🇺🇿 President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev 🇰🇿 President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev 🇮🇷 President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian 🇹🇯 President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon 🇹🇷 President of Turkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan 🇲🇳 President of Mongolia Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh 🇦🇲 Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan 🇰🇬 President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov *** 🎙 Concluding his working visit to Kyrgyzstan, Vladimir Putin answered questions from Russian journalists, addressing key issues on the international agenda.

🎙 Answers by President of Russia Vladimir Putin to media questions following his working visit to Kyrgyzstan (Bishkek, September 1, 2026) Key points: #RussiaUS • Contacts between Russia and the US have always existed, even during the most difficult periods of the Cold War, and they continue today. • Direct contacts are maintained between the Heads of the intelligence services. Quite recently, we returned a US citizen to the American Side who had been serving a prison sentence in Russia. • We are absolutely comfortable working with people we know well and generally trust. They are close to President Trump, sincere people who are trying to give our work concrete substance. And President Trump trusts them, which is very important. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are therefore always welcome guests in Russia, and we are pleased to work with them. #UkrainianCrisis #NATO • We believe that negotiations – any negotiations – should above all have concrete substance. If someone is capable of making a positive contribution to a negotiating process that is currently, to a certain extent, frozen, we have no objection. What is needed here are specialists, military experts and diplomats. • The collective West was given a very apt description back in Soviet times – the sharks of imperialism. If anyone tries to drag us down the food chain and devour us, they may well get their teeth knocked out. Russia is ready to do that, despite the rapidly growing appetites – and teeth – of these sharks. • Despite everything, Russian forces continue to increase the pace of their advance in the special military operation zone. • Strikes continue against Ukrainian military facilities, industrial enterprises, ports and logistics infrastructure used in the interests of the Ukrainian armed forces – in response, as is well known, to the Kiev regime’s continuing attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure, fuel and energy facilities and oil refineries. ❗️ Any military facilities in Ukraine are legitimate targets for us – British or otherwise. • The Russian Armed Forces have been instructed to prepare and carry out large-scale strikes against Ukraine’s energy facilities. They strike ours – they will get a response. #Germany #Leipzig • As for the actions of the German authorities, they are primarily driven by Germany’s domestic political situation. • Chancellor Merz is in a difficult domestic political position and does not enjoy the confidence of his citizens. It is clear why: he is not defending Germany’s national interests, but trading them away. There are obvious economic failures – businesses are closing, people are losing their jobs and living standards are falling. • [Germany's recent move] is yet another mistake – a serious one – and, in my view, one that clearly runs counter to the interests of the German people. #Japan • We have not taken a single step toward worsening Russia-Japan relations. We treated them with great care. Everything happening now in Russia-Japan relations, including their deterioration, is entirely of the Japanese government’s making. Read in full

🎙 Выступление В.А.Небензи на заседании Генеральной Ассамблеи ООН по Украине 📍 Нью-Йорк, 1 сентября 2026 года 💬 Вопрос принадлежности Крыма и Севастополя, Донецкой и Луганской Народных Республик, Запорожской и Херсонской областей для нас закрыт и обсуждению не подлежит. Их жители сделали свой осознанный выбор и связали свое будущее с Россией. К такому решению людей подтолкнула политика националистических сил, пришедших к власти в Киеве в результате антиконституционного переворота 2014 года, которые развернули гонения против русскоязычного населения Юго-Востока. *** Рассматриваем состоявшееся волеизъявление как реализацию права народов самостоятельно определять свою судьбу. Исходим из того, что проведенные плебисциты опирались на закрепленный в Уставе ООН, Международных пактах о правах человека 1966 г., Декларации о принципах международного права 1970 г. и хельсинкском Заключительном акте СБСЕ 1975 г. принцип самоопределения народов. ☝️ Международное право должно быть универсальным. Нельзя признавать право на самоопределение одних народов и отказывать в нем другим. Власти Украины в 1991 г. заявили о своей независимости со ссылкой на право на самоопределение, однако сегодня пытаются запретить его реализацию для Крыма, Донбасса и Новороссии. *** Режим Зеленского продолжает именовать российские регионы «украинскими», а живущих там людей – «своими гражданами», одновременно систематически обстреливая их ракетами и БПЛА. Никакие разглагольствования о «реинтеграции» не способны скрыть очевидного: речь идет не о возвращении людей, которые давно отвергли украинскую власть, а о продиктованном местью стремлении насильно переподчинить их себе. 👉 И здесь особенно показателен контраст: пока Зеленский пытается разрушать эти территории, Россия их восстанавливает и развивает. Эту реальность предпочитают не замечать в Киеве и западных столицах. И это показательный пример тем, кто продолжает именовать их воссоединение с Россией «оккупацией». *** ⚠️ Отдельная тема – это замалчивание преступлений Киева Секретариатом ООН. Зато России предъявляют тяжкие обвинения, не удосуживаясь предоставлением фактов. Так мы уже четыре года добиваемся от Секретариата ООН и лично Генсекретаря ответов на вопросы о провокации в Буче в 2022 году и неизменно получаем от него и ВКПЧ Ф.Тюрка пустые отписки. В начале мая мы распространили письмо мининдел С.В.Лаврова А.Гутеррешу с 12 конкретными вопросами по провокации в Буче. От Генсекретаря вместо ответов мы получили очередную отписку. 📄 Читать полностью 🎥 Трансляция всего заседания

⚡️На подъезде к Алешкам в Херсонской области гуманитарная колонна волонтеров была атакована украинскими дронами. Гуманитарная колонная из 4-х автомобилей перевозившая продукты питания и медикаменты для жителей города Алешки была атакована украинскими дронами. (на видео: так выглядела колонна и груз перед выездом в Алешки) Украинские боевики на протяжении уже нескольких месяцев с помощью атак дронов и дистанционного минирования создают трудности для проезда гражданского транспорта, в т.ч. и машин «скорой помощи» в город Алешки. По словам очевидцев, украинский дрон завис перед первым автомобилем и вынудил волонтерскую группу остановиться. После того как дрон облетел все машины и его оператор мог убедиться, что в машинах только гражданские лица и гражданский груз, первый автомобиль был атакован украинским БпЛА. Дальше один за другим последовали удары по гражданскому транспорту, пока машины не были разбиты, а груз уничтожен. Водителям и сопровождавшим груз волонтерам удалось покинуть транспорт и спрятаться в ближайшей посадке. По предварительной информации, один из волонтеров ранен. Более полные данные ждем от представителей властей Херсонской области. Нападение на гражданский транспорт и гражданских лиц однозначно является военным преступлением, которое усугубляется тем, фактом, что группа волонтеров направлялась в город с гуманитарной миссией и эту миссию осознанно сорвали. На фоне совершенного преступления и осады города Алешки организованной ВСУ, высказывания украинских чиновников об озабоченности гуманитарной ситуацией в Алешках, выглядят полнейшим цинизмом. О вопиющем факте нападения на гуманитарную колонну через наши представительства будут информированы основные международные организации, которые считают, что стоят на страже соблюдения норм и принципов международного гуманитарного права. #ПреступленияКиевскогоРежима; #Херсон; #Алешки;

📃 Following the meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, the Bishkek Declaration on the 25th Anniversary of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation was signed (Bishkek, September 1, 2026) 🤝 We, the Leaders of the Member States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (#SCO), gathered for a regular meeting of the Council of Heads of State and marking the 25th anniversary of the SCO, reaffirm our firm commitment to the goals and principles enshrined in the SCO Charter, as well as to further strengthening good-neighbourliness, friendship and effective multifaceted cooperation, and declare: Since its establishment, the Organisation has successfully passed through a historic stage of institutional and conceptual development and established itself as a widely recognised and dynamically developing multilateral association, the role of which in international and regional affairs continues to grow steadily. Over the past quarter-century, a solid legal foundation for the SCO’s activities and effective mechanisms of cooperation have been established, while strategic directions for its further development have been defined. The Member States will continue their efforts to further consolidate the SCO in implementing the tasks and achieving the goals set out in the SCO Development Strategy until 2035. *** Key provisions: ✍️ The Member States • Reaffirm their unwavering commitment to the universal norms and principles of international law enshrined in the UN Charter and stress the need to strengthen the UN’s role as a guarantor of international peace and security, sustainable development, and the establishment of a representative, democratic and just #MultipolarWorld. They are making a growing contribution to collective efforts to improve the global system of governance. • Advocate ensuring sustainable international peace and call for joint efforts to counter traditional and emerging security challenges and threats. • Expressing concern over growing information security risks, strongly oppose the militarisation of the information and communications technology (ICT) sphere and the creation of threats to critical information infrastructure. • Reaffirm the need to ensure the safe and responsible use of artificial intelligence technologies, including the inadmissibility of their use to deliberately cause harm to human life and health, as well as to the national security, territorial integrity and sovereignty of states. • Oppose unilateral coercive measures that run counter to the UN Charter and other norms of international law, as well as the rules and principles of the World Trade Organization, and which undermine international security interests, including food, energy and humanitarian security, and adversely affect the global economy. • Support reform of the international financial architecture aimed at increasing the representation and strengthening the role of developing countries in the governing bodies of international financial institutions, including the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Monetary Fund. • Underscoring the significance of the 200th anniversary of Leo Tolstoy’s birth and the 100th anniversary of Chingiz Aitmatov’s birth, support initiatives to hold SCO events in 2028 dedicated to the memory of these outstanding writers, who made an invaluable contribution to world literature, the advancement of humanistic values and the strengthening of cultural and humanitarian ties between peoples. 🇧🇾, 🇨🇳, 🇮🇳, 🇮🇷, 🇰🇿, 🇰🇬, 🇵🇰, 🇷🇺, 🇹🇯, 🇺🇿 Read in full

#Antifake ❌ The Western media persists with its campaign to discredit Russia and undermine its image as a reliable partner in nuclear energy projects. There has been a growing number of misleading and unsubstantiated statements Western media outlets about Russia’s nuclear energy solutions being 'unsafe', i.e. based on what they refer to as 'obsolete technology' threatening entire countries and regions. Some journalists have demonstrated flagrant bias and went as far as stoop to irresponsible and groundless speculations by arguing that countries cooperating with Moscow on the peaceful use of nuclear energy would imminently lose their energy sovereignty. Biased media, as well as the Western political elites, are particularly irritated by the fact that Russia and Egypt have been fruitfully in promoting cooperation in the nuclear energy sector. In particular, they have been targeting the El Dabaa NPP, a flagship bilateral project, which is being built on the territory of Egypt in cooperation with Russia's 'Rosatom'. This time, 'Politico' European editorial — Politico.eu — attacked 'Rosatom' by accusing Russia's state corporation, which enjoys the respect it deserves all around the world and has an impeccable track record, of causing 'defects' during the construction of the #ElDabaa NPP. <...> ❗️ The purpose of this provocation is quite clear — to present their another fake story as yet would-be sensation and make people believe that Cairo has accumulated a plethora of claims regarding Russian contractors who allegedly fail to perform their obligations towards Egypt. Moreover, 👉 Politico's hastily concocted fake story was projected into the media space literally the following day after the Egyptian leadership announced plans to build two additional reactors at the El Dabaa NPP in cooperation with Russia and 'Rosatom' The objective behind this orchestrated informational attack is also clear — to undermine 'Rosatom'’s reputation and create a toxic narrative regarding one of the biggest joint projects on the strategic cooperation agenda between Russia and Egypt, which is intended to drive a wedge into Moscow’s cooperation with Cairo. On the very day the fake story was disseminated by Politico.eu, our Egyptian colleagues offered a rebuttal to denounce the insinuations with the Nuclear Power Plants Authority accusing Politico of spreading disinformation. Our partners reaffirmed — the effort to build El Dabaa proceeds with a high level of professionalism, in due form and in strict compliance with international nuclear safety standards. Rosatom was also prompt to refute Politico's fake allegations. *** ⚛️ Built in cooperation with 'Rosatom', Egypt's NPP the El Dabaa is an advanced high-technology project — a cutting-edge for the global nuclear energy sector, including in terms of safety. The #IAEA has confirmed on numerous occasions — Russia’s nuclear energy solutions are reliable and effective. The IAEA has had nothing but praise for Rosatom’s competence and solutions. 🇷🇺🇪🇬 #RussiaEgypt joint atomic project is being built in full swing, and it is thanks to the coordinated efforts by the Russian and Egyptian specialists that we have been able to perform the most daunting tasks in terms of engineering, assembly and technology. Contrary to all the allegations circulating in the Western media mainstream, Russia has been helping its partners and allies reinforce their sovereignty by carrying out national atomic projects. <...> The attempts by the West to prevent countries of the #GlobalMajority from developing civilian nuclear capabilities on the most favourable terms — as offered by Russia — are nothing but yet another demonstration of neo-colonial arrogance on behalf of the former empires.

🗓 On August 31, President of Russia Vladimir Putin attended the opening ceremony of the VI World Nomad Games at Bishkek Arena. Ahead of the ceremony, the Heads of delegations invited to the event were welcomed by President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov and his wife. *** The World Nomad Games are an international sports and cultural event dedicated to preserving and promoting the traditions of nomadic civilizations. They have been held since 2014. The VI World Nomad Games will take place on September 1-6, featuring competitions in 43 traditional sports disciplines, alongside an extensive cultural program. Around 3,000 athletes representing more than 100 countries will compete. 🇷🇺 #TeamRussia is represented by more than 230 athletes from 33 Russian regions.

🎙 Statement by President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (Bishkek, September 1, 2026) 💬 Over the past quarter century, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (#SCO) has come a truly long way. Let me recall that it was established in 2001 at the initiative of six states – Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan – and has since grown stronger and expanded, becoming one of the independent and influential centers of the emerging #MultupolarWorld. Today, the SCO is effectively the largest regional association not only on our common Eurasian continent, but in the world as a whole. Its member states are home to almost half of the world’s population and account for more than one-third of global GDP. The members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation actively interact in politics, the economy and the humanitarian sphere. This cooperation helps ensure the steady and sustainable development of each of our states and contributes to an atmosphere of peace and stability, trust and cooperation across our common Eurasian continent. ✍️ I am convinced that the substantial package of decisions prepared for approval by the Leaders following today’s meeting will give new impetus to our partnership within the SCO. *** Among the practical priorities facing the SCO, I would particularly highlight the further strengthening of commercial ties between member states. This brings clear benefits to all of us and genuinely contributes to steady socioeconomic growth and improved living standards. 📈 Mutual trade and investment continue to grow year after year. For example, Russia’s trade with SCO countries exceeded $400 billion in 2025, while our states are increasingly using national currencies in mutual settlements. In Russia’s transactions with SCO members, their share now exceeds 98%. The SCO Business Council and Interbank Consortium make a major contribution to implementing joint, mutually beneficial economic projects. In the future, the Development Bank now being established within our Organisation could also join this work. In my view, it should be as independent as possible from the financial systems of states that use economic instruments as weapons to gain unilateral advantages in international affairs. I believe it is in our common interest to continue pursuing a coordinated and balanced energy policy, as provided for in the SCO Energy Cooperation Strategy through 2030. ☝️ We are pleased with the highly dynamic and substantive nature of cultural and humanitarian cooperation within the SCO. Ties between our countries are expanding in education, healthcare, environmental protection, science and youth exchanges. The SCO University, which brings together more than 100 universities from our countries, is operating successfully. Women’s forums are also held under the Organisation’s auspices, focusing on strengthening the role of women in public, political, business and social life. Yesterday, we attended the opening of the World Nomad Games now underway in Kyrgyzstan, with representatives from many SCO countries taking part, including Russia. Our country is ready to host the next Games in Kazan in 2028. We will be pleased to welcome teams from interested states. In keeping with tradition, we also look forward to welcoming cultural and artistic figures from SCO countries to the International United Cultures Forum, which will be held in St Petersburg in late September. 🤝 I am convinced that our joint work in Bishkek will help advance multifaceted cooperation within the SCO in the interests of strengthening security, peaceful development and prosperity throughout Eurasia. In this regard, dear friends, I would like to recall that today, September 1, marks the beginning of World War II. We must do everything possible to prevent the provocation of armed conflicts from becoming part of international practice. I am convinced that our work is helping move us in that direction.

#WeWereAllies 8️⃣5️⃣ years ago, on August 31, 1941, the first Arctic Convoy, codenamed 'Operation Dervish', arrived in Arkhangelsk, opening the route for delivering strategic supplies to the northern ports of the Soviet Union during #WW2. Seven ships (six freighters and a tanker), escorted by 15 security vessels, minesweepers and corvettes, embarked on a perilous voyage from Liverpool, pausing to refuel at Hvalfjörður, Iceland. The ships advanced in short columns while constantly changing course to hinder German submarine attacks. *** According to the allied obligations under the Lend-Lease and other agreements, the United States and the United Kingdom supplied the USSR weapons, military equipment, and other supplies via the Arctic routes. On their return voyages, the ships carried strategic commodities and raw materials. The first convoy successfully delivered 25'000 tonnes of cargo to Arkhangelsk, equivalent to roughly 300–400 railway wagons or 1'500 modern lorries. Maritime delivery via the Black Sea or the Baltic Sea was impossible due to the Germans’ swift advances on Crimea and Leningrad. The Pacific route was extremely lengthy. The Arctic route proved to be the shortest option. The port of Murmansk alone received over 1 million tons of Allied (American and British) Lend-Lease aid cargo during the war years. Over the course of WWII, 78 Arctic convoys delivered around 4 million tonnes of supplies to the USSR. These shipments included 7'000 aircraft, 5'000 tanks, as well as lorries, cars, fuel, medicine and other essentials that proved vital to defeating the Nazi invaders. 🌟 The Arctic convoys stand as a remarkable example of allied cooperation during #WWII. Their history offers countless acts of heroism and selflessness demonstrated by UK, American and Soviet sailors and pilots, as well as citizens of other nations who escorted the convoys through the harsh conditions of the #Arctic. More than 3'000 British sailors perished during the war due to explosions, fires or exposure to freezing water. Eighty-five merchant vessels and 16 Royal Navy warships were lost, including two cruisers and six destroyers. #Victory81

⚡️ Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation: The West is already gearing up for elections… in Russia. The Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (#SVR) reports that, according to information received by the SVR, the EU and leading European countries are implementing a large-scale strategy aimed at destabilising the situation in Russia ahead of the nationwide voting day this September. Europe’s self-proclaimed “champions of law and democracy” are pursuing a twofold objective: to disrupt the normal electoral process and discredit the results of the vote at every level of the election campaign. Every “tool” in the arsenal of anti-Russian aggression has been brought into play. At the July 13 summit of the so-called “coalition of the willing” in Paris, convened to discuss a new pan-European missile defence system, European participants reportedly urged the Kiev regime to intensify sabotage and terrorist attacks, as well as strikes on targets both in the liberated Russian territories and deep inside Russia. The aim, they calculated, was to sow panic among the population and divert the resources of state institutions and law enforcement agencies away from their core responsibilities. Plans to carry out cyberattacks against Russia’s election infrastructure are also being discussed during what have become routine visits to Ukraine by representatives of European intelligence services. The task of promoting claims about the supposed “illegitimacy and unlawfulness” of an election that has not even taken place yet has been assigned to structures of the Russian non-systemic opposition based abroad. Thus, in June, a group of the most rabid Russophobes operating under the name “PACE platform for dialogue with Russian democratic forces” reportedly received from its European handlers a well-funded assignment to intensify calls for Russians to boycott the elections and for the international community to refuse in advance to recognise their results. A similar agenda is being pursued – likewise not without financial incentive – by defectors involved in the “Brussels Dialogue” format operating under the European parliament. The difference is that they expect Russian citizens not merely to abstain from voting, but to engage in active civil disobedience. At recent events in Vilnius and Berlin, Europe’s so-called “defenders of democracy” reportedly tasked members of the non-systemic opposition to dig up or fabricate compromising material on representatives of established political parties and stage provocations at polling stations in Russia and abroad. According to available information, once the electoral cycle is over, PACE and the European parliament are preparing to issue statements refusing to recognise the results of the elections in Russia, citing alleged “gross violations during their preparation and conduct”. ☝️ It goes without saying that neither Ukraine, where a corrupt and long-expired regime remains in power, nor Russophobic “political émigrés” detached from their homeland, nor the totalitarian-liberal Western circles standing behind them will be able to prevent Russian citizens from making their choice. 👉 Russia knows how to fight back – not only against aggressors on the external front, but also against their futile attempts to undermine our country from within.

⚡️ Article by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, “International Cooperation in the Arctic: Challenges and Opportunities,” published on Arctic.ru 📰 Read in full ✍️ On 19 August, a landmark event took place in Arctic shipping. For the first time, a container ship from China arrived at the port of Murmansk via the Northern Sea Route, a vital part of the Trans-Arctic Transport Corridor. In collaboration with our international partners this represents the start of a new phase in the development of Russia’s Arctic region, which accounts for at least 10 percent of the country’s GDP and is home to more than 2.5 million of our citizens. In this regard, I would like to share a number of considerations on how we assess the current state of affairs in the Arctic and how we plan to develop international cooperation there. *** Russia and international partners in the Arctic • The Foundations of the Russian State Policy in the Arctic for the Period up to 2035, approved by President Vladimir Putin, focus the efforts of all government bodies on improving the quality of life for the population of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, promoting economic growth in its territories, protecting the environment and fostering mutually beneficial international cooperation. <...> Foreign policy priorities in high latitudes have been enshrined in the currently effective Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation of March 31, 2023. • In the Arctic, Russia is seeking to preserve peace and stability, reduce the level of threats to national security, and create favourable external conditions for the country’s socio-economic development. We are open to interaction with all constructively minded foreign countries displaying reciprocal readiness to put these ideas into practice. • The countries that cooperate closely with us in the Arctic include, first and foremost, China and India. <...> There are prospects for interaction in the Far North with Brazil, Indonesia, Iran and other #BRICS countries. Challenges for international cooperation in the Arctic • Preserving the Arctic as an area of peace and cooperation meets the interests of the entire international community, and Russia is undoubtedly interested in this as well. • Meanwhile, there are those who do not share this point of view. How else can one explain the fact that NATO countries, as well as the Alliance as a whole, are driving the region towards militarisation and creating hotbeds of international tension there? <...> NATO is conducting large-scale military exercises involving non-regional countries and introducing new components of its command-and-control system. • Such military activity in the Far North poses a direct threat to Russia’s security. <...> NATO and other Western countries make no secret of their true motives, openly declaring their intention to turn the Arctic into a new front for opposing the development of Russia and its like-minded partners. • One manifestation of the West’s anti-Russian policy has been the disruption of previously effective mechanisms of multilateral cooperation in the Far North. <...> The Arctic Council, established almost 30 years ago, on September 19, 1996, remains the only functioning intergovernmental format. Russia is ready to resume the full-fledged work of the Arctic Council, provided that all parties engage in good faith and take into account the legitimate interests of every participant. The future of international cooperation in the Arctic • A glance at the world map makes it clear that Russia has been, is, and will remain a leading Arctic state. <...> The strategic importance of the Arctic to our country’s national interests and security will also continue to grow. • In our economic activities, we will continue to proceed from the understanding that the Arctic maritime areas form an integral part of the World Ocean. • Russia’s foreign policy in the Arctic will remain comprehensive and pragmatic. We support the Arctic’s development as an integral part of the broader Eurasian space of security and cooperation.
