⚡️ Russian MFA Spox Maria #Zakharova:
The principal resource required for widespread application of #AI standards is rare-earth metals.
Western elites seek to secure access to extraction sites in the states of the World Majority & resort to aggressive neocolonial policies.
⚡️ @mod_russia: Despite Zelensky's statement on the March 24 Russian-US agreement to stop attacks on civilian energy infrastructure, the Kiev regime continues its strikes.
They are trying to thwart Russian-US measures to resolve the Ukrainian conflict.

🎙 Maria #Zakharova on the terrorist attack by the Kiev regime against Russian journalists:
❗️We demand an immediate response from @UNESCO Director @AAzoulay, the @UNHumanRights High Commissioner @volker_turk, and the @OSCE_RFoM (Representative on Media Freedom).
🇷🇺🇨🇺 During the meeting between Russia's FM Sergey #Lavrov and President of the @AsambleaCuba and the Council of State of #Cuba Esteban Lazo confidence was expressed that Cuba’s accession to #BRICS will facilitate building a multipolar world order.

💬 Maria Zakharova: Unprecedented in the history of international politics and diplomacy, a dressing down given to Zelensky by @POTUS is also indicative of the political weakness and extreme moral degradation of the European leaders who continue to support the mad leader of the Kiev regime who has lost touch with reality.

⚡️ Russian MFA Spox Maria #Zakharova:
💬 Zelensky’s visit to Washington D.C is an epic political & diplomatic failure
Russia has repeatedly made it clear that Zelensky is corrupt individual who lost his grip on reality & is unable to honour agreements
https://t.co/fz0w8bnthC
💬 President Vladimir Putin: We realise that not everyone is happy to see Russia-US contacts resume.
A portion of Western elites are still committed to maintaining instability in the world, and these forces will try to disrupt or to compromise the newly resumed dialogue.

💬 President #Putin: There is no indication in the Ukrainian constitution that the president's powers сould be extended.
If one takes part in elections & becomes legitimate, then we will talk to that person, even if it's Zelensky.
#PutinPresser
💬 President #Putin: No other army in the world has such training, combat readiness and internal state as the Russian troops have.
☝️ In our decision-making we will be guided by our own national interests.

🇷🇺 MFA:
In its relations with unfriendly states [incl the #UK], #Russia pursued a principled policy aimed at creating favourable conditions for them to abandon their hostile policy.
To achieve this, Russia took steps to debunk the concept of a "rules-based international order" promoted by the #US and the #EU.
At the #UN, the #OSCE and other multilateral platforms, Russia advocated for the peaceful development of all states based on the principles of sovereign equality and indivisible security.
🌐 Last year, the Russian diplomatic service pursued a foreign policy course in a situation of heightened confrontation with the collective West.
👉 Political & diplomatic support for the special military operation
👉 Cooperation with the Global Majority
