🎙 Speech by S.V. Lavrov during the G20 Ministerial Council on the issue of the G20’s role in overcoming current international tensions,

📍 Rio de Janeiro, February 21, 2024

💬 When we join forces, the world is able to change for the better and move forward. The twentieth century was an important milestone in freeing humanity from the shackles of colonialism. We, it would seem, have defeated economic banditry, the exploitation of other people’s labor and other people’s wealth. The transition to détente during the Cold War allowed the USSR and the USA to lay the foundation for containing military risks and building a reliable strategic security architecture, primarily in Europe. We regret that those achievements today have been almost completely destroyed.

The objective process of forming a multipolar world order based on self-sufficient countries and regions faces serious resistance. At the instigation of the West, the basic foundations of international communication are being undermined. Universal norms of law and the principles of the UN Charter are being violated, including the sovereign equality of states, non-interference in internal affairs and self-determination of peoples. Diplomacy as the resolution of disputes by peaceful means is sacrificed to forceful confrontation, “hybrid wars,” total confrontation, and the desire to inflict a strategic defeat on an opponent. “Double standards”, hypocrisy, and outright lies are used. <…>

Instead of a UN-centric architecture , narrow bloc alliances, closed clubs, behind-the-scenes “best practices,” “reliable scientific data,” and pseudo-democratic “values” are promoted .

An artificial division of the world into friends and foes, a “blooming garden” and a “jungle” is being carried out. <…>

This is what the notorious “rules” that the West pushes in place of international law look like in practice.

<…>

🌐 Our forum of the world’s leading economies could clearly state the G20’s refusal to use “economy as a weapon” and “war as an investment.” Demonstrate our commitment to open and equal trade and economic cooperation.

🎙 Выступление С.В.Лаврова в ходе СМИД «Группы двадцати» по проблематике роли «двадцатки» в преодолении текущей международной напряженности,

📍 Рио-де-Жанейро, 21 февраля 2024 года

💬 Когда мы объединяем усилия, мир способен меняться к лучшему, двигаться вперед. Двадцатый век стал важной вехой в избавлении человечества от оков колониализма. Мы, казалось бы, победили экономический бандитизм, эксплуатацию чужого труда и чужих богатств. Переход к разрядке в период «холодной войны» позволил СССР и США заложить фундамент сдерживания военных рисков, выстраивания надежной архитектуры стратегической безопасности, прежде всего в Европе. Сожалеем, что те достижения сегодня практически полностью разрушены.

С серьёзным сопротивлением сталкивается объективный процесс формирования многополярного миропорядка с опорой на самодостаточные страны и регионы. С подачи Запада подтачиваются базовые устои международного общения. Попираются универсальные нормы права, принципы Устава ООН, включая суверенное равенство государств, невмешательство во внутренние дела и самоопределение народов. Дипломатия как разрешение споров мирными средствами приносится в жертву силовому противоборству, «гибридным войнам», тотальной конфронтации, стремлением нанести сопернику стратегическое поражение. В ход пущены «двойные стандарты», лицемерие, прямая ложь. <…>

Вместо ооноцентричной архитектуры продвигаются узкоблоковые альянсы, закрытые клубы, кулуарные «наилучшие практики», «достоверные научные данные», псевдодемократические «ценности».

Проводится искусственное деление мира на своих и чужих, «цветущий сад» и «джунгли». <…>

Так на практике выглядят пресловутые «правила», которые Запад проталкивает взамен международного права.

<…>

🌐 Наш форум ведущих мировых экономик мог бы чётко заявить об отказе «Группы двадцати» от использования «экономики как оружия» и «войны как инвестиции». Продемонстрировать наше стремление к открытому и равноправному торгово-экономическому сотрудничеству.

I Don’t see anywhere in the UNSC Resolution that a private citizen, like Putin cannot donate a gift to a North Korean? So why does the West act the Fool? – kKEETON…

February 23rd is Defender of the Fatherland Day or just Men’s Day in Russia…

Defender of the Fatherland Day (Russian: День защитника Отечества) – The holiday marks the date in 1918 during the Russian Civil War when the first mass draft into the Red Army occurred in Petrograd and Moscow. It was originally known as Red Army Day (Russian: День Красной Армии / Dyen’ Krasnoy Armii). In 1949, it was renamed Soviet Army and Navy Day (Russian: День Советской Армии и Военно-Морского флота / Dyen’ Sovyetskoy Armii i Voyenno-Morskogo flota). Following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the holiday was given its current name… (Link)

It is kinda a Father’s Day in Russia but really much more military orientated. It just over the years has been expanded to encompass all men, not just military men…

I find this day interesting and the one thing that I see that is really important about this day is that women may be sweet and nice, but they also make sure you remember that coming up soon on March 8th is Woman’s Day. International Women’s Day (IWD), originally is called International Working Women’s Day and that is a very important holiday… Just like at Sveta’s work, the women bought pizza for all the guys… But soon the guys better give back. 🙂

March 8th in Russia is Very Important! (International Women’s Day)

So I see this holiday today as a reminder as not to forget a holiday that keeps all the women happy and I do mean that Russian women like and expect this particular holiday. It is very much like Mother’s Day in America…

Men in Russia know that when the women are being nice and lovey on the 23rd of February, that you better not forget or overlook the 8th of March. It is only about two weeks away…

It is a woman’s world in Russia, but once a year whether we deserve it our not, us guys get some loving too and that is another reason why I love Russia…

But sooner and or later, someone in Washington, DC will have to openly accept responsibility for the “Western paid and implemented fiasco called Ukraine”, which the admin of the USA openly and knowingly instigated and everyone knows that someone must be scapegoated to appease the plebs. – kKEETON…

Western based entities such as the UN, NATO and such are obsolete, degraded and weaponized against countries of choice. – kKEETON…

“Russia, They, the West, Hate You and They Want You Dead!” («Россия, они, Запад, ненавидят тебя, и они хотят, чтобы ты умер!» – kKEETON)

I have said it exactly like this to Svetochka and I am now saying it to all of Russia…

“Russia, They, the West, Hate You and They Want You Dead!” – kKEETON…

Reasons the West is bananas over this issue are already posted on this website and they are all true. So for now it is enough to grasp the facts of the situation and accept this statement as a fact. Accept it and get it in your head, put that info in your brain, memorize what I say and do not act the fool and say, “What I do?” or “Why?” or “But I didn’t do nothing!” None of anything matters except the simple fact that if you are a Russian, in any form and or manner. Be it actions, connections, genetics and just breathing the same air as a Russian. They, the West want you dead and your land and your resources…

“Russia, They, the West, Hate You and They Want You Dead!” – kKEETON…

again…

“Russia, They, the West, Hate You and They Want You Dead!” – kKEETON…

Coming soon to a country near you…

Repeat after me in your first person form:

“I’m Russian, The West, Hates Me and They Want Me Dead!”

Do not disregard this message…


Я сказал это именно так для Светочки, и теперь я говорю это всей России …

«Россия, они, Запад, ненавидят тебя, и они хотят, чтобы ты умер!» – kKEETON …

Причины Запада являются бананами по этому вопросу, уже размещены на этом сайте, и все они верны. Так что сейчас этого достаточно, чтобы понять факты ситуации и принять это утверждение как факт. Примите это и получите в свою голову, поместите эту информацию в свой мозг, запомните то, что я говорю, и не веду себя дураком и не говорите: «Что я делаю?» или “Почему?” или “Но я ничего не делал!” Ничто из ничего не имеет значения, кроме простого факта, что если вы русский, в любой форме или или манере. Будь то действия, связи, генетика и просто дышащий тем же воздухом, что и русский. Они Запад хотят, чтобы ты умер, твоя земля и твои ресурсы …

«Россия, они, Запад, ненавидят тебя, и они хотят, чтобы ты умер!» – kKEETON …

снова…

«Россия, они, Запад, ненавидят тебя, и они хотят, чтобы ты умер!» – kKEETON …

Скоро в месту рядом с вами …

Повторите за мной в форме первого лица:

“Я русский, Запад, ненавидит меня, и они хотят, чтобы я умер!”

DPRK Delegations Leave for Russia…

I am so glad to see constant interaction between Russia and North Korea…

Date: 21/02/2024 | Source: Naenara (En) | Read original version at source
A delegation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea led by Minister of IT Industry Ju Yong Il left Pyongyang on February 19 to take part in the Eurasia IT forum to be held in Moscow of Russia.

On the same day, a delegation of the DPRK-Russia joint committee on fisheries led by Vice-Minister of Fisheries Son Song Guk and a delegation of the DPRK Ministry of Physical Culture and Sports led by Vice-Minister O Kwang Hyok left Pyongyang by plane to attend the 31st meeting of the DPRK-Russia joint committee for cooperation in fisheries and the signing ceremony for the 2024 DPRK-Russia protocol on sports exchange.

Only upsetting thing is that Russia should have never turned on North Korea by UN mandate, ever at anytime. Never should the West be trusted in any of its forms and the UN is a bad sick form of the Western construct…

Actions have repercussions and for the British, this hits at the core belly of its people. And the British need to learn the proverb: Russians take a long time to harness, but drive quickly…

No more Russian waters fishing for the British. Goodbye Fish and Chips from real Cod…

▶️ Russia has returned its fish.

Yesterday, the Soviet-era fisheries agreement with the British government, signed on May 25, 1956, was denounced.

This is a rare case in our practice. We are leaving the treaty that was in force for 68 years and allowed British ships to fish in the Barents Sea: in the territorial waters of the USSR and then Russia.
It was a unilateral decision; our country received nothing in return.

When Nikita Khrushchev received him in 1956 , it is difficult to say what motivated him. But definitely not by national interests.

Last year alone, 2023, the British caught 566 thousand tons of cod and haddock.
For them, this is 40% of the “fish menu”. It is considered a favorite dish.

At the same time, they announce almost 2,000 sanctions to us and behave extremely unfriendly and aggressive towards Russia.

When they ask if we can respond to sanctions, we can.

Our President decided to terminate the 1956 treaty. Deputies unanimously supported it.

Politics are actions and decisions.
With Gorbachev, we lost the country, but with Putin, we found it:
Crimea returned to Russia
protected our brothers in Donbass and Novorossiya, and today we returned natural resources.

After the denunciation of this agreement, our fishermen will be able to catch more fish in their native Barents Sea, and it will become more accessible to our citizens.

And the British need to learn the proverb: Russians take a long time to harness, but drive quickly.
