🗓 On October 15, the Fourth Committee of the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution entitled “Addressing Contemporary Forms of Colonialism”. The draft was prepared by the Group of Friends in Defence of the UN Charter, with Russia’s active participation. 19 states co-sponsored the resolution. 🌐 The resolution is non-confrontational and unifying in nature. It stresses the need to eradicate neocolonial practices, including interference in internal affairs, unilateral coercive measures, the imposition of unfair international treaties and restrictions on technological development. These practices are among the most serious obstacles to achieving the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and are a root cause of numerous problems on the UN agenda. ✅ The document was supported by 85 Member States, with 49 voting against and 23 abstaining. Significantly, its supporters included #BRICS countries and states across Africa, Asia and Latin America, while its opponents were predominantly countries of the “collective West”, many of them former colonial powers. The latter refused to support the document, despite having participated in drafting it and having some of their amendments incorporated into the final text. The voting results clearly demonstrate that the emergence of a #MultipolarWorld is well underway. Freeing interstate relations from all forms of pressure, subordination and dependence is an integral part of this process. The Global Majority is unwilling to accept the monopoly held by a small group of countries. For these states, combating neocolonialism is no abstract notion: it is a matter of pursuing sovereign domestic and foreign policies, strengthening their security and preserving their national identity. ☝️ We expect the adopted resolution, which builds on two previous thematic resolutions of the General Assembly, to gain even broader support when it is considered shortly at a plenary meeting of the #UNGA. This will help firmly establish the fight against all manifestations of colonialism as one of the UN key priorities.

Government of the Russian Federation: 🇷🇺 Russian school students have already won 91 medals at international Olympiads this year! Since the beginning of 2026, Russian national school teams have achieved outstanding results at international subject Olympiads. Russian students have also claimed overall winner titles. Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko highlighted Russian students’ achievements at international Olympiads so far this year. 👉 Russian students have already won 91 medals, including: 🥇 64 gold 🥈 26 silver 🥉 1 bronze Of these, 31 medals were won at the main Olympiads – the most demanding academic competitions. 💬 Russian Minister of Education Sergey Kravtsov said that Russian students had competed in six main and eight other international academic competitions in 2026: Every student returned home with a medal. Year after year, our school students demonstrate the high standard of Russian education at international academic competitions. In 2026, our teams continue their winning streak. The 60 medals won at other international subject Olympiads alone reflect both the students’ talent and hard work and the excellent work of their mentors. The 2026 Olympiad season will conclude in December, when the Russian team takes part in the 23rd International Junior Science Olympiad.

⚡️ Russia's High Commissioner for Human Rights Yana Lantratova: The Ukrainian blockade of Alyoshki must be lifted to save civilian lives. People remain cut off from supplies of food, water and medicine. They include the elderly, women and children. We are in contact with the US Side and Melania Trump’s team, which has expressed its willingness to help the city, about this dire situation. Difficult negotiations are now underway to arrange the delivery of humanitarian supplies and the evacuation of people in urgent need of assistance. ❗️ The main cause of the humanitarian crisis is the blockade deliberately imposed by the Ukrainian armed forces. Ukrainian drones constantly patrolling the roads and remotely laid mines on roads and footpaths prevent aid from getting through. All supplies reaching Alyoshki today are carried by hand or brought in on bicycles by people risking their lives. According to available information, the most recent volunteer convoy, travelling in vehicles marked “People”, was destroyed by Ukrainian strikes. If the Ukrainian side stopped attacking and mining the routes used to supply the city’s residents, essential aid could be delivered and those in urgent need could be evacuated. ☝️ We will help all residents, regardless of their political views. People are our highest priority, and the value of every human life is unconditional. Russia will do everything possible to save civilian lives.

⚡️ Press release on the October 10 strikes at Riyadh international airport (October 11, 2026) According to incoming information, on October 10 the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh was subject to a massive missile strike. ▪️ The attack resulted in the death of 12 people, including citizens of Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, Sudan and the United States. More than 300 people sustained injuries of varying severity. According to preliminary reports from the Embassy of Russia in Saudi Arabia there are no Russian compatriots among the victims. Moscow expresses its deep condolences to the families and friends of those killed and wishes speedy recovery to the wounded. ❗️ Russia condemns this attack and calls on the parties to the conflict on the Arabian Peninsula to completely give up strikes against civilian infrastructure facilities. Russia’s position remains unchanged: there is no alternative to settling any crises in the region by political and diplomatic means while ensuring the interests of all the states in this region without exception.

'The Sacred Beacon of Nuremberg and the Shadow of The Hague' An article by Valery Zorkin, Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, marking the 80th Anniversary since the #NurembergTrials of Nazi war criminals Article in full | Telegraph ✍️ 80 years ago, the International Military Tribunal in #Nuremberg delivered its verdict against 24 top-ranking leaders of Nazi Germany. Most defendants were found guilty of the terrible crimes against peace and humanity, as well as war crimes. Twelve Nazi leaders — sentenced to death by hanging, while the others sentenced for life or lengthy terms of imprisonment. It was the very unprecedented nature of Nazi ideology that made it necessary for taking equally unprecedented political and legal measures — the establishment of the Nuremberg and Tokyo Trials. <...> ❗️ It was the 'Judgment of Mankind' on Hitler's Nazism — the most dangerous manifestation of ideological, political and military barbarism. A 'Sacred Beacon' in Nuremberg served as bearing the Promethean flame of international criminal justice. Yet, imperfect, with the retroactive application of law, it nevertheless shone, illuminating human path towards the ideals of universal justice. <...> The verdict of the Nuremberg Trials was based on an immense body of irrefutable evidence, firmly established and thoroughly examined. A vast archive of testimony was compiled. The voices of the victims were heard loud and clear — that was the enduring ethical significance of Nuremberg, which was both an act of justice and an act of remembrance. <...> The Nuremberg Trials appeared before the world like Athena, born fully armed from the head of Zeus. The four Victorious Powers set about establishing a new legal order amid the ruins of defeated statehood and bringing the vanquished to justice. The legitimacy of the Nuremberg proceedings and the binding force of its verdict was based on the collapse of the Nazi state, as well as on the Allied law established by the Instrument of Surrender. The Tribunal's legitimacy, meanwhile, was rooted in natural law and universal moral values, above all, justice. It was founded on the conviction that certain crimes are so monstrous that they violate the very idea of humanity (delicta juris gentium), and that such crimes must be punished under all circumstances. 👉 That fundamental principle made it possible not only to cut through the Gordian knot of fascist evil and punish those responsible without departing from the bounds of the law, but also to establish a hierarchy of values in which law stands above force and crimes against humanity are subject to #NoStatuteOfLimitations. <...> Nuremberg was an act of retribution and a defining moment in establishing the legal foundations of the post-war world. The Tribunal became a hammer brought down upon a criminal Nazi statehood and its legal system. *** ❗️ It was for the first time in history, categories of crimes were established that would become the 'alpha' and 'omega' of international criminal law. Article 6 of the Charter of the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal (IMT) defined three categories of crimes: 1. Crimes against Peace; 2. War Crimes; 3. Crimes against Humanity. A war of aggression was declared the "supreme international crime". The events in Nuremberg were perceived by the international community as the restoration of justice from the chaos of violence and arbitrariness. In the eyes of millions of victims and billions of people around the world, Nuremberg became a ritual of purification, one that united humanity. <...> 👉 Punishment was inescapable <...>. All this created a sense of the triumph of law and moral catharsis. The deeper meaning of Nuremberg can be traced to Plato's understanding of punishment — a criminal is held accountable not by the right of force, but by the force of law.

🎙 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s statement on the Kiev regime’s continuing attacks and provocations against the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (October 5, 2026) 💬 The Kiev regime continues to deliberately create the risk of a serious nuclear accident by attacking Russia’s Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP). On October 4, Ukrainian militants used a UAV to strike the ZNPP’s laboratory and support building No. 2, located just 200 metres from the plant’s reactor units. Kiev also shelled the radioactive waste processing building twice. Those behind this provocation know full well that an attack on this ZNPP facility could damage equipment essential to the safe handling of radioactive materials. On the same day, October 4, the neo-Nazi Kiev regime targeted a truck carrying food supplies for the plant’s personnel near Melitopol. The driver was killed. ▪️ The Russian Foreign Ministry extends its deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. Ukraine thus continues to attack the ZNPP and its associated infrastructure to disrupt the plant’s operations and create the risk of a nuclear accident. These outrages, which bring the threat of a nuclear catastrophe dangerously close, once again expose the Kiev regime’s true terrorist nature. Western countries’ failure to respond adequately has emboldened Kiev to step up its attacks on the ZNPP. They continue to supply Ukraine with weapons, effectively encouraging further attacks and provocations. Their response to Ukrainian attacks on the ZNPP shows how little their statements on nuclear safety and security at the IAEA, the UN and other international forums are worth. It also makes clear that they are willing to endorse any terrorist methods their proxies use to advance their goals. ❗️ We call on the IAEA leadership to unequivocally condemn the criminal actions of Kiev and its sponsors.

Russian and foreign media outlets, as well as bloggers, may apply in accordance with the accreditation rules published in the “Media” section of the Week’s official website. 📄 Programme Overview of the “Peoples of Russia” International Week Stay tuned for updates on the official website and via email newsletters. ✉️ For media accreditation enquiries, please contact: media@roscongress.org

☢️ Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (#ZNPP): ⚡️ On October 4, Laboratory and amenity building No. 2 at the Zaporozhskaya NPP was attacked by two Ukrainian UAVs. The building is located approximately 200 metres from reactor units 4 and 5. Two further Ukrainian UAV attacks targeted the radioactive waste processing building. There were no casualties. The roof was damaged. These attacks have posed no threat to nuclear safety. ❗️ Strikes on such facilities are potentially dangerous. The proximity of the laboratory and amenity building to the reactor units creates a risk of damage to nearby infrastructure and puts personnel at risk. Attacks on the radioactive waste processing building could damage equipment and disrupt the safe handling of radioactive materials. Plant personnel remain in control of the situation. Safety parameters are monitored around the clock. Radiation levels at the plant site and within the sanitary protection zone remain within prescribed limits. The absence of a threat to nuclear safety following these attacks does not diminish the danger posed by strikes on the ZNPP territory.

🚀 On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union opened humanity’s path to the stars! #OTD, the Space Age officially began: the world’s first artificial satellite – Sputnik 1 – entered Earth’s orbit. At 10:28 pm Moscow time, an R-7 launch vehicle, developed under the leadership of the outstanding Soviet rocket engineer Sergey Korolev, lifted off from the Tyuratam launch site (later named Baikonur). Just over five minutes later, the satellite separated from the rocket and transmitted its world-famous signals: “Beep! Beep!” 📰 On October 5, 1957, Soviet newspaper Pravda reported: On October 4, 1957, the USSR successfully launched the first satellite. The satellite is currently following an elliptical orbit around Earth, and its flight can be observed in the light of the rising and setting Sun using the simplest optical instruments. Updates on the movement of the first artificial satellite, launched in the USSR on October 4, will be broadcast regularly by radio stations. 🛰 An aluminium sphere 58 centimetres (~23 inches) in diameter, weighing 83.6 kilograms (~184 pounds), with four antennas and two radio transmitters – this was humanity’s first envoy in orbit. Behind its simple exterior lay the immense efforts of Soviet scientists, engineers and workers. Sputnik completed an orbit around Earth roughly every 96 minutes, and radio enthusiasts worldwide picked up its famous signals. Its radio transmitters operated for about three weeks, while the satellite itself remained in orbit for 92 days. During that time, it completed 1,440 orbits around Earth, travelling some 60 million kilometres (~ 37.3 million miles). Its flight ended on January 4, 1958, when it entered the dense layers of the atmosphere and burned up. The historic launch validated the calculations and technical solutions needed to reach space. Observations of the satellite gave scientists new data on the density of the upper atmosphere and the propagation of radio waves through the ionosphere. 🌐 Sputnik 1 was a triumph of Soviet science and engineering – an achievement for all humanity. It proved that the path beyond Earth was open – paving the way for Yuri Gagarin’s flight, the exploration of the Moon and other planets, and the construction of orbital stations. For 6️⃣9️⃣ years, satellites have served humanity. Today, they are essential to everyday life: they provide communications and television broadcasting, help us navigate, forecast the weather and monitor climate change. ☝️ But the first was ours. Forever. #Sputnik1

🎙 Statement by Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rodion Miroshnik at the 63rd Session of the UN Human Rights Council (Geneva, September 30, 2026) 💬 Building on the right of peoples to self-determination enshrined in the UN Charter, the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action contains a provision recognising the right of peoples to take any legitimate action to exercise this inalienable right. Exactly four years ago, the residents of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions exercised their legitimate right to self-determination and voted in referendums to join the Russian Federation. For this honest, open and democratic choice, the Kiev authorities are taking revenge on the people of Donbass and Novorossiya. They are taking revenge through terrorist attacks and war crimes against children, women and the elderly. Over the past four years, criminal acts by Ukrainian militants have killed more than 9,000 civilians and injured over 25,500. More than 300 children have been killed, and over 1,500 wounded or maimed. ☝️ Their blood is on the hands of Zelensky and his entourage – but not theirs alone. It is also on the hands of those who allocated €90 billion this year to prolong the bloodshed, those who keep supplying terrorists with more weapons, and those who pay them to kill. ❗️ I call on Ukraine and its Western sponsors to recall the letter and spirit of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action, recognise and accept the choice made by the people of Crimea, Donbass and Novorossiya, and put an end to this criminal bloodshed. #KievRegimeCrimes

🗓 On September 30, 2022, following referendums, the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics and the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions officially became part of the Russian Federation. ✍️ Looking back at #HowItHappened (Signing of the treaties on the accession of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions to Russia) In the referendums held on September 23-27, 2022, residents of the four regions made a historic decision that determined their future. International observers from Italy, Germany, Venezuela, Latvia and other countries (133 in total) who monitored the voting recognised the results as legitimate. In 2014, the Kiev regime unleashed full-scale hostilities against the civilian population of Donbass, while neo-Nazis and radicals intimidated and attacked people in Zaporozhye and other regions as well. For eight long years, people endured relentless shelling, terrorist attacks and persecution. Despite shelling and numerous provocations by the Kiev regime, people went to the polls and expressed their will. 🗳 Four years ago, the people voted in favour of joining Russia: • DPR – 99.23%, with a turnout of 97.5%; • LPR – 98.42%, with a turnout of 92.6%; • Zaporozhye Region – 93.11%, with a turnout of 85.4%; • Kherson Region – 87.05%, with a turnout of 76.9%. Behind these figures are the lives of millions of people and their hopes for safety, for the freedom to speak their native language, to honour their ancestors – true heroes of the Great Patriotic War (instead of Hitler’s henchmen) – to preserve their culture and raise their children without fearing for their lives. ❗️ Russia’s position remains unchanged: the people of Donbass and Novorossiya exercised their legitimate right to self-determination, enshrined in the UN Charter, the 1966 International Covenants on Human Rights and the 1975 CSCE Helsinki Final Act. 💬 Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s address at the General Debate of #UNGA81 (New York, September 26, 2026): Having launched the special military operation in 2022 to protect the people of Donbass and Novorossiya from extermination by the Kiev regime, Russia continues to fight for their security and rights in full accordance with the letter and spirit of the UN Charter. Our struggle for truth and justice will be carried through to the end: the objectives of the special military operation will be achieved, threats to Russia’s security will be eliminated, and peaceful life will be restored. And we will do this #TOGETHER.

#Announcement ❗️ Russia's Victory Museum in Moscow is hosting the “Ordinary Nazism” exhibition, which traces the origins and evolution of Ukrainian Nazism to the present day. More than 200 exhibits are on display, documenting the atrocities committed by Ukrainian nationalists during #WWII, as well as the mass crimes and terror committed by their modern followers against the people of Ukraine in 2014-2022.

🎙 Remarks and answers to media questions by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov following the High-Level Week of the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly (New York, September 26, 2026) Key points: • Without a doubt, the UN needs to be adapted to the new realities, including through reform of the Security Council by adding representatives from Asia, Africa and Latin America. We cannot envisage any additional seats for Western countries. We cannot allow that, because the West is already overrepresented on the UN Security Council. • We expect the new Secretary-General to represent the interests of all humanity, not just the “golden billion,” and to meet all the criteria set out in the UN Charter, including impartiality, objectivity and proper performance of the functions of the Organisation’s chief administrative officer. • I have repeatedly set out the sequence of events in the development of the Ukraine crisis. There is no lack of trust on our part. Moreover, we continued the bilateral talks in Istanbul, and trilateral talks were also held in Abu Dhabi with US participation. None of these rounds of negotiations were terminated by us, but by those who now claim that “the Russians are avoiding contacts and have nothing to say”. • We believe that the Islamabad Memorandum was, as they say, a fair deal. Since it was signed at the highest level, it was presumably done consciously. So why not return to it? • As for drafting the Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the 21st Century, we are not setting any artificial deadlines. At the same time, we certainly would not want this work to drag on, given that our Eurasian continent badly needs a continent-wide framework open to all countries and organisations of the continent without exception and free from any external interference. •All the damage being inflicted on commercial shipping is the result of Ukrainian terrorist attacks, not only in the Black Sea but also in the Caspian Sea. • The trend towards outright Nazism is evident not only in Europe’s support for the Kiev regime, but also in what I mentioned in my statement. German chancellor Friedrich Merz has said – more than once, so this was no slip of the tongue – that his goal is to ensure that Germany “once again becomes the leading military power in Europe”. Does he understand the meaning of the words “once again” in that context? These are very dangerous trends, prompting many analysts to speak of attempts to create a “Fourth Reich”. • We maintain a regular dialogue with the administration of US President Donald Trump in various formats, and that alone is already a sign of normality. If relations are reduced to issuing propaganda statements every morning condemning Russia and demanding that Russia suffer a “strategic defeat,” then that is not diplomacy. • In today’s world, no country – not even one as powerful as the US – can solve all global problems single-handedly, especially at the expense of others. 👉 I am confident that reality will teach our American partners to start thinking in terms of #Multilateralism. They are not the only economic and military power in the world, nor the only independent actor on the international stage. • I am frankly tired of discussing this issue [European leaders calling for preparations for war with Russia]. We have stated our position many times, so I have nothing to add. President of Russia Vladimir Putin has recently reaffirmed it in St Petersburg: we are not going to wage war against Europe. The very idea is absurd and nonsensical. ☝️ Yet it is Europe that is preparing for war with us. Read in full

🎙 Statement by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at the General Debate of the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly* (New York, September 26, 2026) 💬 Over the past few days, both from this rostrum and on the sidelines of the General Assembly, we have repeatedly heard that tectonic shifts are taking place in world politics and that a more just #MultipolarWorld order is emerging before our eyes. The countries of the Global South and East are asserting themselves as sovereign centres of development and taking responsibility for security in their respective regions. They demonstrate their commitment to international law, rejection of external pressure, and interest in the prosperity of all states, not just a select few. This constructive philosophy also underpins Russia’s foreign policy. It is shared by our many like-minded partners and forms the foundation for cooperation within the #CIS, #SCO, #BRICS and other associations of the #WorldMajority. ❌ However, not everyone welcomes these developments. The Western minority, which dominated for five centuries at the expense of others’ resources, continues its attempts to preserve its privileges and impose its “rules” on everyone else. The West is increasingly resorting to brute force, acting unpredictably and recklessly, and putting at risk the lives and well-being of millions, if not billions, of people on our shared planet. As President of Russia Vladimir Putin put it, the dictatorship of a single hegemon “has spun out of control and is simply dangerous to everyone around it”. At the beginning of 2026, in violation of every conceivable norm, including basic standards of morality, the US intervention in Venezuela culminated in the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife and their detention without trial in a US prison. This comes despite the fact that international law expressly requires respect for the immunity and inviolability of senior state officials. 👉 We insist on the immediate release of the Venezuelan Leader and his wife and demand that such actions never be repeated. We regard the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, members of his family, as well as members of the Islamic Republic’s military and political leadership, as an unacceptable manifestation of the use of force and coercion. *** A year ago, we marked the 80th anniversary of Victory over German Nazism and Japanese militarism. Next week, on October 1, we will mark 80 years since the conclusion of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg. The historic Judgment the Nuremberg Tribunal unequivocally condemned Nazi criminals and placed the inhuman ideology of Nazism beyond the bounds of law and morality. ☝️ Yet 80 years later, the lessons of Nuremberg have clearly not been learned by everyone. Judging by statements from their representatives, the ruling elites of a number of EU countries appear to be infected with ideas of racial superiority and continue to promote extremist, Russophobic views. They indulge the leaders of the Kiev regime when they honour notorious war criminals and Hitler collaborators in Kiev – people whose hands are stained with the blood of Russians, Jews, Belarusians, Ukrainians and people of other nationalities. *** Having launched the special military operation in 2022 to protect the people of Donbass and Novorossiya from extermination by the Kiev regime, Russia continues to fight for their security and rights in full accordance with the letter and spirit of the UN Charter. ❗️ Our struggle for truth and justice will be carried through to the end: the objectives of the special military operation will be achieved, threats to Russia’s security will be eliminated, and peaceful life will be restored. This will happen regardless of any circumstances, including the inability of the current leadership of the UN to take the only correct position on the situation around Ukraine – that of defending the principles of the UN Charter not selectively, but in their entirety, completeness and interconnection. *Unofficial translation Read in full
