💬 FM Sergey Lavrov: European leaders should recognise that the regional security model built in Europe over decades has been destroyed by their own actions. It will not be restored.

We must now move toward a continent-wide security architecture open to all Eurasian nations.

[Russian Embassy, UK @RussianEmbassy]

💬 FM Lavrov: Meaningful dialogue requires restoring trust, shattered by Western anti-Russian actions.

Trust can be recovered only through concrete steps showing a sincere commitment to move away from using diplomacy as cover for expansionist ambitions.

💬 FM Sergey Lavrov: We see Europe as a party bent on Russia's defeat – a stance the Europeans themselves openly avow.

Dialogue with Europe, therefore, cannot be conducted as though it were an impartial third party.

💬 Maria Zakharova: We strongly condemn Ukraine's attack on a bus with Belarusian children.

Despite its hypocritical claims of protecting children, the Kiev regime knowingly endangers them, making them targets for strikes, as it did in Starobelsk.

💬 FM Sergey #Lavrov:

On today’s strike by Ukrainian terrorists on a bus carrying children from Belarus:

This is absolutely in line with the Kiev regime’s playbook – deliberately targeting civilians, especially children, in an attempt to undermine the unity of our peoples.

🎬 ”Unthinkable Allies” — first feature produced by @RT_Doc as part of "The Unknown Cold War" series

It explores how Western powers abandoned allied solidarity forged in fire of #WW2 & embarked on path of confrontation against USSR

💬 FM Lavrov: The Zelensky regime is openly rehabilitating Nazi war criminals.

Europe responds to these actions – including the reburial with honours of war criminals & Nazi collaborators – by applauding Zelensky & claiming he defends European values.

☝️ Russia poses no threat to the security of the UK or its people.

The real threat to them stems from the UK government’s policy of confrontation with our country and escalating tensions in Europe, while neglecting the interests of its own citizens.

❌ We note another wave of anti-Russian publications in the British press.

UK media keeps peddling absurd stories about an “omnipresent” Russian threat, cynically exploiting public concerns amid rising crime, uncontrolled migration & economic hardship.

⚡ @mod_russia: Today, frigate Admiral Grigorovich encountered a British yacht in the English Channel. The yacht approached on a dangerous course. At 150m, warning shots were fired ahead of the vessel. The yacht immediately altered course and moved away.

🚀 #OTD in 1963, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space aboard Vostok 6.

⚖️ On June 15, @PCA_CPA has issued its final ruling in the 10-year arbitration between Russia & Ukraine over coastal State rights in maritime areas around Crimea.

#InMemoriam

🗓 #OTD, June 15, 1798, distinguished Russian diplomat Alexander #Gorchakov was born.

✍️ The Russian and Belarusian MFAs have published a joint report on human rights in various countries.

The UK is among those examined, with the report outlining several areas of concern👇

💬 Russia’s Human Rights Ombudswoman #Lantratova:

I've sent out letters to UN & OSCE human rights defenders.

The international community must admit: supplying Kiev with weapons used to kill Russian civilians isn't assistance – it's complicity in crimes.

[MFA Russia 🇷🇺 @mfa_russia]

⚡️ @mfa_russia & @BelarusMFA have published the third Joint Report on the human rights situation in certain countries.

Unlike similar Western studies, it's not intended to lecture or moralise.

It summarises factual information on the mentioned states.
