The Embassy has forwarded to the British Parliament a message of the Russian State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation whereby it urges the European parliaments and parliamentary institutions to condemn the recent incidents of destruction and desecration of monuments and memorials in honour of soldiers of the Anti-Hitler Coalition in some Eastern European countries.
We have taken note of the CNN videos about alleged Russian weapons deliveries to the Taliban.
It is impossible to take videos that show obsolete weapons of unidentifiable origin seriously. The weapons in question have no brand stamps or numbers. These are standard weapons that could be made anywhere. Everyone knows that these weapons were produced not only in Russia but also in other countries, including in Eastern Europe, from which the Americans transported large batches of these weapons to Afghanistan in the early 2000s.
Between July 18 and 24, Russian humanitarian aid was delivered to the civilian population of Sana and Aden, respectively, in the Republic of Yemen. Aircraft belonging to the Emergency Ministry delivered over 40 tonnes of cargo, including large capacity tents plus food products.
On July 19, 62 citizens of Russia and several other countries were brought back to Moscow by a return flight from the Yemeni capital.
It is preposterous to say that Russia would rather forget Dunkirk. We had a similar tragedy in the summer of 1941, and had no other option but keep on fighting. Russia was the means of last resort in dealing with that existential threat to European civilization.
It is a pleasure to see you again. We value greatly our relations with you. Iraq is one of our most important partners. We support the Iraqi government’s efforts to normalise the situation in the country, and above all, to eradicate the terrorist threat. The Iraqi armed forces and security forces are making a concrete contribution to these efforts, of course, as is the four-party information centre opened last year in Baghdad by Russia, Iraq, Syria and Iran.
Russian Embassy comment on the statement of the UK Embassy in Moscow with regard to the Russian visa fees.
Welcome to Moscow. We are greeting you both as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Sierra Leone and as Chairman of the African Union Committee of Ten (C-10) which is engaged in defending Africa’s interests in the reformation process of the UN Security Council.
On August 8−9 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will visit Jakarta for talks with his Indonesian counterpart Retno Marsudi. The officials will discuss a broad range of issues pertaining to the further development of bilateral political, trade, economic and humanitarian cooperation, as well as international and regional matters.
On 20 April, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation satisfied a legal claim of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation by enforcing a ban against Jehova’s Witnesses and its subsidiaries in Russia on the grounds of extremist activities under Federal Law “On Counteraction of Extremist Activity” 114-FZ of 25th July 2002. On 17 July 2017, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal against the decision lodged by the Administrative Centre of the Russian branch of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
On July 19, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, as per tradition, met in Moscow with the ambassadors of the EU member countries and the head of the EU delegation to the Russian Federation.
