🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin has been inaugurated as President of Russia in a ceremony that took place at the Kremlin (May 7, 2024)
💬 In these solemn and crucial moments of assuming the office of the President, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the citizens of Russia across all regions of our country, as well as those living in the historical territories of Russia who have won their right to stand united with our Motherland.
I humbly honour our heroes, the participants in the special military operation, and all those who are fighting for our Fatherland.
I would like to thank you again for the trust you have placed in me and for your unwavering support. These words are directed to every citizen of Russia.
<...>
🌐 We have been and will continue to be open to strengthening good relations with all countries that view Russia as a reliable and honest partner. Indeed, those constitute the global majority.
We are not rejecting dialogue with Western states. The choice is theirs: whether they intend to continue trying to contain Russia’s development, continue the policy of aggression, the relentless pressure they have been exerting on our country for years, or seek a path to cooperation and peace.
To reiterate, we are open to talks, including on security and strategic stability, but not to negotiations from a position of strength. We are open to a conversation without arrogance, conceit or exceptionalism – a dialogue on an equal footing and with respect for each other’s interests.
Together with our partners in Eurasian integration and other sovereign development centres, we will continue to build a multipolar world and an equal and indivisible security system.
<...>
☝️ We stand as a united and great nation. Together we will overcome all obstacles and ensure that everything we conceive becomes reality. Together we win!

Welcome to St. Petersburg’s Hermitage Museum! 👑
The State Hermitage Museum is the second-largest art museum in the world and one of the main tourist attractions in Saint Petersburg, Russia 🇷🇺. Located between Neva River and Palace Square it is comprised of several historical buildings, the main of which is the Winter Palace - the former residence of Russian Emperors and Empresses.
The art collection of the Hermitage includes almost three million items, including one of the largest collections of Renaissance Italian and Baroque Dutch, Flemish, and French painters, and also archaeological findings from all over the world, Ancient Greek statues, Asian art and numismatic collection. In its halls you can see masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, El Greco, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Gainsborough and many other world famous artists.
☝️ One estimate has it that you would need eleven years (❗️) to view each exhibit on display for just one minute!
However, the Hermitage is more than an art museum. The Winter Palace offers a glimpse into the life at Russian imperial court🤴👸. It is named so because in summer the court moved to another residence - Catherine Palace in Tsarskoye Selo near Saint Petersburg.

🎙 Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov's interview with TV BRICS (April 18, 2024)
Key talking points:
• [When several new members joined BRICS] it was unclear how the adjustment process would go and what would come out of it. After [four months of Russia's Chairship] our cooperation has gained momentum and we are moving forward towards success at an increasing pace.
• During the BRICS Chairship, Russia will continue its work in three key areas: politics and security, economy and finance, humanitarian cooperation. <...> I am glad that all the members of the association collaborate in a friendly manner, striving for best results.
• The Leaders [of the BRICS countries] have taken a decision that made the Group unequivocally stronger. The association asserted itself as <...> a key link in the emerging multipolar world.
• We assume that each of the new members will bring something new <...> to the group. The rich history and cultural traditions of the newcomers speak for themselves. It enriches BRICS.
• Our "group of ten" is beginning to demonstrate solidarity at international platforms. The BRICS countries recently adopted a joint statement at the UN Environment Assembly in Nairobi. The members of the association are asserting themselves in a constructive manner on the broadest possible agenda.

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement in connection with the attack on Israeli territory
💬 In the early hours of April 14, a large number of missiles and drones were launched at the territory of Israel.
According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, this attack was undertaken as part of the right to self-defence stipulated in Article 51 of the UN Charter in response to the attacks on Iranian targets in the region, including the strike on the consular section of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus on April 1, which our country strongly denounced.
Unfortunately, due to the position adopted by its Western members, the Security Council was unable to provide a proper response to the strike on the Iranian consular mission.
We express our extreme concern at yet another dangerous escalation in the region. We have repeatedly warned that the numerous unresolved crises in the Middle East, primarily in the area of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which are often fueled by irresponsible provocative actions, will exacerbate tensions.
☝️ We call on all parties involved in the conflict to exercise restraint. We expect the regional states to resolve the existing problems through political and diplomatic means. We believe it is important for the constructively-minded international players to contribute to this effort.

📢 Ambassador of the Russian Federation to #ASEAN H.E. Mr. Evgeny Zagaynov 🇷🇺 on current state of the ASEAN-Russia Strategic Partnership, Lao PDR's 2024 ASEAN Chairmanship 🇱🇦, ties between ASEAN, EAEU and SCO, and recent developments in the Asia-Pacific in his interview to RIA Novosti.
Key points:
🔹️ Russia builds its relations with ASEAN on the basis of equality and mutual respect. Russia has never imposed and is not going to impose its will on ASEAN Member States. Our partners know and appreciate that.
🔹️Despite the unprecedented pressure from the West our ASEAN friends remain open to cooperation with our country that has stood the test of time.
🔹️ASEAN has become one of the global centers of gravity. It is both partner and friend of Russia. During the recent ASEAN-Russia Senior Officials' Meeting in Saint Petersburg 🇷🇺 in April parties have outlined steps of further deepening the ASEAN-Russia Strategic Partnership in a number of areas including science and technology, food and energy security, digitalization, education etc.
🔹️In April Saint Petersburg also hosted the 4th ASEAN-Russia Consultations of the High Representatives for Security Issues which is a unique platform that allows to discuss relevant topical matters in a frank and open manner.
🔹️Russia fully supports the Lao PDR's Chairmanship theme in 2024 "ASEAN: Enhancing Connectivity and Resilience" and is ready to facilitate ASEAN's efforts in its community building. Lao PDR is an old friend of Russia, we have been developing warm and multifaceted ties with Vientiane. President of the Lao PDR Thongloun Sisoulith's 🇱🇦 recent visit to Russia to celebrate the Victory Day on 9 May is another evidence of such a friendship.
🔹️The West, in its attempts to maintain its hegemony and hamper the objective process of a new polycentric world order emergence, undermines the open system of interstate relations with ASEAN in its centre.
🔹️ The militarization of the Asia-Pacific is ongoing. Under the pretext of indivisibility of the Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific security NATO is coming to the region. The US is building up its military presence by deploying the middle-range missiles and doesn't seem to stop. We all know where it leads.

🇷🇺🇱🇦 President of Russia Vladimir Putin held talks at the Kremlin with President of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic Thongloun Sisoulith.
💬 We are delighted to see you in Moscow, Russia, especially on the occasion of #VictoryDay, marking the victory by the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War.
We are marking an anniversary this year: thirty years ago our countries signed a framework friendship and cooperation treaty.
By the way, we would like to express our gratitude to Laos for handing over the T-34 tanks to us. They are symbols of Victory for us. Of course, this is instrumental in terms of being able to show them to the public and raising awareness among young people. Thank you very much.
Last year, we witnessed a rise in our trade and economic relations, even if it has been quite modest so far, with a 12 percent increase. Holders of the Mir card can use them in your country, which will definitely help attract more tourists.
We have been expanding our defence and security cooperation too.
Our two countries have been maintaining scientific and humanitarian ties. We are grateful to you, Mr President, and all your colleagues for supporting Russian language studies.
We have been effective and proactive in working together on the international stage, including within the United Nations. Promoting our strategic partnership with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations is a major foreign policy priority for us. ASEAN has substantially expanded the agenda dealing with our joint efforts after Laos assumed its Chairmanship.

#Victory79 #Parade
🏅 On May 9, 1945, at 12:43 am, the Instrument of Unconditional Surrender of Nazi Germany was signed, putting an end to the Great Patriotic War and #WWII in Europe.
Following a successful assault on Berlin by the Red Army, Adolf Hitler committed suicide. The title of Reich President and command of the armed forces of the Third Reich passed to Admiral Karl Dönitz.
Desperate to surrender to the British-American troops, on May 5, German delegation arrived in the French city of Reims, where the headquarters of the Western Allies command was located.
In the Article 4 of the Reims Instrument of Surrender of Nazi Germany stated that this document did not rule out the signing of another, definitive act at the request of one of the coalition members.
Thus, the document was recognised by the Soviet Union only as a preliminary instrument, and a new signing ceremony was proposed to be held in the capital of Nazi Germany, liberated by the Red Army - Berlin.
🌟 On may 9, at 12:43 am in district of Karlshorst the signing ceremony of the Instrument of Unconditional Surrender of Nazi Germany took place.
On May 9, 1945, at 2:10 am Moscow time, announcer Yury Levitan read out the Instrument of Unconditional Surrender of Nazi Germany and the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR declaring May 9 Victory Day. From that moment on, the Soviet Union and later Russia, as well as the most former Soviet republics have celebrated Victory Day on May 9.
💬 Sergey Lavrov: This year’s Victory Day has a special significance because we are celebrating this great holiday in a situation where Nazism is rearing its head again. The descendants of Napoleon and Hitler have joined the Anglo-Saxons, again seeking to inflict a “strategic defeat” on our country, destroy it and subordinate it to their narrow selfish hegemonic interests. Just like our fathers and grandfathers volunteered to the front, today, once again, we see an extraordinary upsurge in society, as Russians are rallying to another sacred battle.

☦️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin congratulated Orthodox Christians and all Russian citizens celebrating Easter Sunday.
💬 President Putin: Easter celebrations in our country have rich spiritual traditions which unite millions of people and are passed on from one generation to another, inspiring people to good deeds and aspirations.
It is important to note the constructive and fruitful work of the Russian Orthodox Church and other Christian denominations aiming to preserve our immensely rich historical, cultural and spiritual legacy, to strengthen the institution of the family, to educate young people and to promote in society such enduring values and moral reference points as care for your neighbour, charity and compassion.
Pastors have always been together with the people. Today, amidst serious challenges, Christian religious organisations provide effective and selfless assistance to those in need of support and attention.
