🇷🇺Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion #Miroshnik
"Strike drones have become the primary instrument used by Ukrainian militants to kill and maim children.
Among all the minors who have fallen victim in recent months, approximately 90% were killed or injured by drones — devices so generously supplied to Ukraine by its Western, or more precisely, European sponsors. Some of the crimes committed by these Ukrainian monsters against minors should be classified not only as grave war crimes but also as extrajudicial executions.
How else can one describe the actions of an operator-turned-killer who steers his drone while looking — through its cameras — straight into the eyes of a teenager, who stands frozen before the drone, his eyes filled with mortal terror? And tell me, please, how is this any different from the actions of the fascists during the Second World War, who shot unarmed children at point-blank range?"

Director of the A. Talai Charitable Foundation
Alexey #Talai:
«In my endeavors, I am guided not by political slogans, but primarily by a question I pose to myself and to all: do children living under shelling... have the right to medical care? Do they have the right to cease being hostages of war, if only for a few weeks, and simply feel like children».
«Assisting a child cannot be deemed a crime; rather, it is an obligation upon those who can provide such aid».

🇷🇺Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights of the Russian Federation Maria Lvova-Belova
«Over the past four years, 142 families have required our reunification assistance. 32 children have returned to Russia with their family members, while 145 children have been reunited with their relatives in Ukraine. We engage in cases where a verified close relative seeks reunification with the child».

Writer and journalist from Lugansk Faina Savenkova
«One would expect European human rights institutions to respond to all crimes committed by the Ukrainian armed forces and by President Zelensky personally. Yet, we hear no condemnation from them. Can children defend themselves? Naturally, they cannot».
«It is my hope that today's event will finally draw the OSCE's attention to the crimes against the children of Donbass that have been and continue to be committed by Ukraine».

🇷🇺 Special Representative of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation for International Cooperation in Ensuring the Right to Freedom of Religion Mikhail #Melekh
«The most acute issue is the unlawful actions of the Kiev regime against the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, its clergy, and parishioners».
«For many years, a systematic, multi-tiered state campaign aimed at the eradication of Orthodoxy has been implementing in Ukraine».
«The pressure exerted on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is not a consequence of the military-political crisis, but rather one of its root causes, alongside the denial of the rights of the Russian-speaking population. This pressure has been intensifying on a daily basis over the past 12 years».

Bishop of Vienna and Austria Alexiy (🇷🇺 Moscow Patriachate)
The issue of protecting religious organisations and believers from persecution based on religion, nationality or even their native language is rarely making headlines these days.
The 20th century has clearly shown us what human beings can do when they have no higher authority to restrain them.

🇷🇺 Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the OSCE Dmitry #Polyanskiy
«Once a unifying force, the human rights agenda has become virtually the primary source of disagreement among participating States. … There is a gradual erosion of the willingness to discuss these disagreements in a substantive and respectful manner.»
The value of human rights dialogue is determined not by the number of unanimously endorsed statements, but by the willingness to discuss sensitive and complex issues.

📢 Within the framework of this event, international experts will discuss the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of minors, combating religious intolerance and discrimination against national minorities, countering the glorification of Nazis, ensuring impartial monitoring of electoral processes, and other pressing human rights issues that remain without due attention and are effectively silenced within existing formats.

#Mercenaries
❗️One of the most striking examples of the cruelty and bestial nature of mercenaries fighting under the Ukrainian banner can be seen in their actions within the Kursk region, Russia — a territory that remained under the occupation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for nearly a year.
While many of these individuals eventually meet a "fitting" end — either on the battlefield or within the Russian penal system — they are prepared to commit any manner of crime beforehand, including inhumane acts directed against the civilian population.

Dear friends!
The TV channel "Russia 24" has aired a documentary titled "Mercenaries: Disillusionment" which investigates crimes committed by foreign #mercenaries serving the Kiev regime. In light of this, we are sharing a selection of key segments from the film to highlight the essential truth about this "criminal international"!

🇷🇺 #Polyanskiy: Now, after the US President directly linked the Kiev regime’s strikes on energy facilities in Russia to the rise in petroleum product prices, a frightened Zelensky has once again pulled out from under the cloth a cinematic script according to which Ukraine allegedly adheres to some kind of "energy truce."

🇷🇺 #Polyanskiy: We all remember how French President Emmanuel Macron at the June NATO summit this year actually boasted that the Anchorage initiatives had been "buried." This sounded like a triumph over the fact that peace in Ukraine has still not come. And it confirmed that they still do not imagine any other scenario for Europe other than victory over Russia. Despite all the futility and utopian nature of this "blue dream" of Russophobic European elites, they are clearly not ready to give it up, hoping that with the help of their weapons, Kiev will be able to hold out until Europe "builds up its muscles" and is ready for a direct conflict with our country.
