🎙 Пресс-конференция С.В.Лаврова по итогам Восточноазиатского саммита (Пномпень, Камбоджа. 13 ноября 2022 года).

💬 Состоявшаяся дискуссия подтвердила наш анализ процессов, разворачивающихся в течение продолжительного времени в этом регионе.
США и их союзники, а также Североатлантический альянс сейчас пытаются «освоить» Азиатско-Тихоокеанское пространство. Недавно была выдвинута концепция Индо-Тихоокеанских стратегий, в рамках которой продвигаются форматы, отнюдь не открытые для всех желающих. Более того, они конкурируют с инклюзивными структурами, созданными вокруг АСЕАН <...> Продвигаются закрытые инициативы по организации наблюдения за морской деятельностью. Люди, понимающие, о чём идёт речь, напрямую связывают это с «необходимостью» конфронтационных действий Запада в Южно-Китайском море.
☝️ Наши друзья из КНР это прекрасно понимают. 🇷🇺🇨🇳 Вместе с ними мы отстаиваем целесообразность и необходимость сохранения форматов, созданных вокруг АСЕАН, уважения центральной роли, которую играет Ассоциация в происходящих процессах в окружающем её регионе.
Налицо тенденция к милитаризации региона путём сопряжения усилий союзников США – Австралии, Новой Зеландии, Японии с расширением присутствия НАТО в АТР.
<...>
Изложив принципиальные оценки, мы подчеркнули однозначный для нас приоритет не в полемических дискуссий, а в продвижении в рамках ВАС конкретных проектов взаимодействия.
Сегодня получила поддержку еще одна инициатива России - по развитию волонтёрского движения, организации контактов между волонтёрскими организациями стран-участниц ВАС как вклада в решение задач подключения гражданского общества в продвижение гуманитарных контактов.
⚠️ На саммите не было принято каких-либо коллективных решений, поскольку 🇺🇸 США и их западные коллеги настаивали на абсолютно неприемлемом языке в отношении ситуации на Украине и вокруг неё. Всё, о чём я говорю, в том числе о направлениях дальнейшего сотрудничества будет отражено в коммюнике, которое выпустит от своего имени председательство Камбоджи.

🎙 FM Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the #RussiaASEAN Post Ministerial Conference
💬 I am pleased to state that despite the current international turbulence, we are expanding the range of our dialogue, enhancing the level of our industry-specific platforms, and deepening trade, economic and humanitarian ties.
I would like to mention separately the implementation of the joint initiatives in science and technology during the current Russia-ASEAN Year of Scientific and Technical Cooperation.
We believe that our entire system of cooperation, including our multilateral and bilateral ties, objectively facilitates the consolidation of the regional architecture for security and sustainable development.
🇷🇺 Russia consistently supports many integration platforms and projects and the pooling of their efforts to promote a unifying, future-oriented agenda.
MFA Spokeswoman M.Zakharova:
The Russian delegation is taking part in the East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers’ Meeting. Mr.Blinken is sitting within 2 meters from Mr.Lavrov. Do you think he will reach out to buttonhole Sergey Viktorovitch?
Don’t show this picture to the White House. Firstly, they will get sad when they see Mr.Lavrov in the midst of “isolation”. Secondly, they will have to comment somehow on the story of the buttonholes – reply as to why Secretary of State didn’t grab the Russian Foreign Minister by his accessories.
📜 Foreign Ministry statement on the results of the #RussiaASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting
✅ The Russia - ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Meeting co-chaired by the Russian Federation and the Kingdom of Cambodia showed that the Russia - ASEAN strategic partnership is unaffected by the geopolitical environment.
✅ The ASEAN countries welcomed Russia’s firm support for the Association’s central role in the regional architecture and unity of its states, and the active role of our country in ASEAN-centric mechanisms, including the East Asian Summit, the ASEAN Regional Forum on security and the meeting of the ASEAN Defence Ministers and Dialogue Partners.
✅ The participants reaffirmed their plans to hold a second round of Russia-ASEAN consultations of senior security officials and the second dialogue on cybersecurity in the latter half of 2022.

⚠️ Furthermore, despite the threat of a food crisis, Ukrainian armed groups continue using the food industry for military purposes:
🔹 in the Donetsk People's Republic, at the bakery plant (Slavyansk, Bogomoltsa ln.) and the dairy plant (Kramatorsk, Geroyev Soyuza st.), units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have deployed their firing positions, armoured vehicles, artillery guns and MRLS, as well as have been periodically launching attacks at settlements;
🔹 in Kharkov, at the bakery plant №11 (Gvardeytsev-Shironinysev st.), nationalists have deployed long-range artillery and MRLS, while residents of local buildings have been deliberately left without evacuation.
🔹 These facts show again the indifference of Ukrainian authorities to the lives of civilian population.
🔹 It occurs with the tacit consent of the western countries that continue turning a blind eye to the numerous war crimes of the Kiev regime.

On November 13, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov attended the 17th East Asia Summit (EAS) in Phnom Penh.
During an exchange of views on the key international and regional problems, the Russian side underscored Russia’s consistent line on strengthening the multipolar world order and establishing positive, practice-oriented cooperation between countries in the Asia-Pacific Region (APR) aimed at counteracting the growing threats to its stable and progressive development, including in the context of the West-provoked global economic crisis involving dire consequences in the food and energy spheres.
🤝 Russia expressed support for ASEAN’s efforts to preserve its unity and maintain a multipolar, stable architecture of interstate relations in the APR, based on the principles of mutual respect and equality and involving a commitment to observe the balance of interests of all participants in the regional process.

🔹During the exchange of views on key issues on the international and regional agenda, the Russian side emphasized its inalterable approach to strengthening the multipolar world order, establishing positive practice-oriented cooperation between the countries of the Asia-Pacific region aimed at countering the evolving threats to its stable and progressive development, including amid the global economic crisis provoked by the West with severe consequences in the food and energy sectors.
⚡️The risks related to the "globalization" of #NATO and the Western thread on the militarization of the Asia-Pacific region, including through the formation of a military-technological infrastructure on the AUKUS platform (US-UK-Australia), with its conjugation with the Euro-Atlantic power potential were particularly emphasized. The attention of the partners from #ASEAN was drawn to the false bottom of the "Indo-Pacific" projects starting from the block platforms, that base their activities not on the broadest possible cooperation, but on the objectives of deterrence and counteraction.
🤝Russia expressed support for ASEAN's efforts to preserve the unity of the organization and maintain a multipolar, sustainable architecture of interstate relations in the Asia-Pacific region, based on the principles of mutual respect and equality, as well as maintaining a balance of interests of all participants of the regional process.
ASEAN-organized summit events had taken steps to further strengthen relations between the Association and other institutions of the Eurasian space with a positive agenda and in the interests of building broad cross-platform cooperation. There were contacts between ASEAN and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). SCO Secretary-General Zhang Ming delivered the address at the opening of the #EAS plenary session.
🔹The Russian side spoke in favor of building up non-politicized applied cooperation within the East Asia Summit framework, including in the context of harmonization of the new mid-term EAS Plan of Actions – a roadmap of its activities for 2023-2027.
🇷🇺Russia has put forward the idea of launching a collective response mechanism to pandemic threats on the EAS platform. It could have become a good practical outcome of longstanding efforts to promote cooperation in this area, with its key aspects reflected in the EAS relevant top-level statement, adopted in 2020 following our country’s proposal.
We drew the partners’ attention to the need to fulfill the objectives, set in the Russia-initiated 2021 Leaders’ Statement on developing cooperation in tourism. The Russian side noted the importance of an early organization of a meeting of the heads of relevant authorities of the EAS States Parties, aimed to launch the programs of targeted interaction to stimulate the post-pandemic economic recovery of the countries of the region.
🔸The Russian proposals to establish cooperation among the volunteer organizations to deepen the region-wide humanitarian interconnectedness received ASEAN’s active support.
О 17-м Восточноазиатском саммите
🗓 13 ноября в Пномпене Министр иностранных дел Российской Федерации С.В.Лавров принял участие в 17-м Восточноазиатском саммите (ВАС).
В ходе обмена мнениями по ключевым проблемам международной и региональной повестки дня российской стороной акцентирована неизменная линия нашей страны на укрепление многополярного миропорядка, налаживание позитивной практико-ориентированной кооперации между странами Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона (АТР) в целях противодействия растущим угрозам его стабильному и поступательному развитию, в том числе в контексте спровоцированного Западом глобального экономического кризиса с тяжелейшими последствиями в продовольственной и энергетической сферах.
⚡️ Отдельный акцент был сделан на рисках, связанных с «глобализацией» НАТО и линией Запада на милитаризацию АТР, в том числе путем формирования – через сопряжение с силовым потенциалом Евро-Атлантики – военно-технологической инфраструктуры на платформе АУКУС (США-Великобритания-Австралия). Внимание асеановских партнеров было обращено на «двойное дно» стартующих с блоковых платформ «индо-тихоокеанских» проектов.
🤝 Россия выразила поддержку усилиям АСЕАН по сохранению единства организации и поддержанию в АТР многополярной, основанной на принципах взаимного уважения и равноправия устойчивой архитектуры межгосударственных отношений с соблюдением баланса интересов всех участников регионального процесса.
В рамках программы мероприятий саммитов, организованных «десяткой», предприняты шаги по дальнейшему укреплению связей между Ассоциацией и другими работающими на евразийском пространстве объединениями с позитивной повесткой дня в интересах выстраивания широкого кроссплатформенного сотрудничества. Проведены контакты между АСЕАН и Шанхайской организацией сотрудничества (ШОС). Генеральный секретарь ШОС Чжан Мин выступил на открытии пленарного заседания ВАС.
🔸 Российская сторона высказалась за наращивание неполитизированного прикладного взаимодействия в рамках Восточноазиатского саммита.

💬 FM Sergey Lavrov: On August 6, 1945, the United States launched a nuclear attack against Hiroshima and three days later against Nagasaki.
To this day, the terrible death of innocent civilians strikes a chord with millions of people on our planet. It is hard to fully understand what the masterminds and perpetrators of such an inhumane act were guided by.
The Soviet offensive in the Far East, as part of the agreements between the Allies, not only liberated China and Korea, but also took away Japan’s motivation to continue military operations. In that situation, atomic bombings by the United States were in fact a show of force and an operational test of nuclear weapons on civilians.
🇺🇸 United States was the first and only country to use this type of weapons of mass destruction.
(excerpt from Sergey Lavrov’s message to the participants of the memorial ceremony in Hiroshima on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing, August 6, 2020)
🎉 On August 8, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) marks its 55th anniversary. Today ASEAN is a successful and reputable regional intergovernmental organisation that has become a significant element of the emerging multipolar world order.
The development of ties with ASEAN is among the priorities of Russia’s foreign policy on the Asian track. In 2017, the Russian Permanent Mission to ASEAN opened in Jakarta, and in 2018, Russia-ASEAN relations reached the level of strategic partnership.
On August 4-5, Sergey Lavrov took part in Russia-ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ meeting, the East Asia Summit and the ASEAN Regional Forum on security in Phnom Penh.
💬 Sergey Lavrov: Despite the current international turbulence, the range of mechanisms for our dialogue is expanding, the level of industry platforms is rising; trade, and economic and humanitarian ties are deepening.
✍️ Russian FM Sergey Lavrov’s article «Staged incidents as the Western approach to doing politics», published in Izvestia newspaper
Read in full
🔹 All the good relations talk, the West’s proclaimed readiness to take into account the rights and interests of Russians who ended up in independent Ukraine or other post-Soviet countries after the collapse of the USSR turned out to be mere pretence.
🔹 Ukraine, Moldova and other countries being courted by the EU today are destined to be extras in the games of the West.
🔹 The collective West should come back to Earth from the world of illusions. The staged incidents, no matter how long they go on, will not work. It is time for fair play based on the international law rather than cheating.
🔹 The sooner everyone realises that there are no alternatives to objective historical processes where a multipolar world is formed based on respect for the principle of sovereign equality of states, fundamental for the UN Charter and the entire world order, the better.
⚡️☣️ Excerpts from the Russian Defence Ministry briefing on the results of analysing documents related to the military-biological activity of the USA in Ukraine
🔻 One of the key Pentagon contractors, Metabiota, was involved in the response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. The special military operation has led to receiving documents that reveals the plans of Metabiota and the Ukrainian Scientific-Technological Centre to study the Ebola virus in Ukraine.
🔻 Ukraine and other post-Soviet states have become a testing ground for biological weapons not only for the USA, but also for its NATO allies; on the first place, Germany. Various projects have been carried out on behalf of the Joint Medical Service of the German Armed Forces.
🔻The lack of therapeutic effect of antibacterial medication has been reported during in-patient treatment of AFU servicemen in medical facilities. This fact may indicate preventive use of antibiotics and preparation of personnel for operating in conditions of biological contamination.

⚠️ We continue to carefully record the facts of the inhumane treatment of civilians and use of residential buildings, educational institutions, cultural buildings and other social infrastructure facilities for military purposes by Ukrainian armed groups:
🔹 in Zaporozhye, in the Children's Art Palace (Zaporozhskaya sq.), nationalists have deployed a strongpoint, an armament and munitions depot, as well as firing and sniper positions along the perimeter of the institution and at the upper floors of nearest residential buildings;
🔹 in Kramatorsk, Donetsk People's Republic, in the residence of technological vocational school (Uralskaya st.) and in the gymnasium №1 (Arkhangelskaya st.), militants of Ukrainian nationalist groups have deployed barracks, as well as armoured equipment and large-calibre artillery at Yubileyny park;
🔹 in Bakhmut, Donetsk People's Republic, in the industrial vocational college (Chaykovskogo st.), AFU units have deployed provisional bases, as well as armoured equipment, mortar positions and heavy artillery at the adjacent territory. Militants restrict local residents to leave their houses, all their attempts to evacuate to safe areas are severely suppressed.
❗️ These facts show the inhumane treatment of the Ukrainian authorities to the civilian population and their total disregard to the international humanitarian law. Despite the repeated statements by the Joint Coordination Headquarters of the Russian Federation for Humanitarian Response, this kind of cynical acts committed by the Kiev regime have been ignored by the international society until now.

⚠️ We continue to record the facts of criminal acts by Ukrainian authorities against the civilian population of Ukraine and the people's republics of Donbas.
🔹 It has been reliably elicited that the Kiev regime has prepared and is attempting to carry out yet another provocation to accuse Russian Armed Forces of destroying important elements of vital infrastructure in Ukraine and creating an energy and humanitarian crisis in the country.
🔹 In order to implement it, Ukrainian command has deliberately deployed its armed groups at Krivoy Rog therman station (Zelenodolsk, Dnepropetrovsk reg.), from where artillery and multiple rocket-launching system (MRLS) units have been redeploying to firing positions, periodically shelling the northern districts of Kherson region and shelter in the thermal station provoking Russian troops to launch a counter attack every day (since June 24, 2022).
🔹 These acts committed by Ukrainian authorities show the readiness of the Kiev regime to sacrifice the welfare of their citizens for another high-profile provocation. It is possible that after having failed to provoke Russian Armed Forces to strike the Krivoy Rog thermal station, Ukrainian nationalists may explode elements of the power plant themselves and present fake evidence of a strike by Russian troops to the world community with.
❗️ In case of implementation of this cynical plan and destruction of the facilities, the population of most central regions of Ukraine and hundreds of life-supporting facilities will be left without electricity. We urge the administration and maintenance staff of Krivoy Rog thermal station, as well as residents of Dnepropetrovsk region, to make every effort for preventing this provocation. By publicly protesting against the use of energy facilities by armed groups and ensuring their withdrawal from the power plant, you will keep light and heat in your houses, protect yourself and your loved ones, as well as protect Ukrainian people from the arbitrary rule of the Kiev regime.
❗️ We warn the so-called civilised West in advance that the above mentioned and other provocations by the Ukrainian authorities about the allegedly 'atrocities of the Russians' are soon to be widely circulated through the Western media.

#DebunkingMyths
❌ Myth: Russia is using energy supplies for political purposes.
✅ Faсts: It is the EU which, by imposing or planning to impose further unilateral sanctions against Russian energy supplies, is politicizing the energy sphere, attempting to use interdependences between energy consumers and suppliers as an instrument of political pressure, while damaging its own economy and the well-being of its citizens and aggravating what is already a precarious situation in the global energy markets.
Unfounded allegations that Moscow is using energy supplies for political aims are part and parcel of the fact-twisting information warfare unleashed by the EU and the US, the latter seeking to increase its LNG exports to the EU.
