💬 #Zakharova : Any EU encroachment on Russian assets is illegal and violates the principles of international law.

❗️ The European Union can no longer be regarded as a reliable jurisdiction for foreign investors whose investments can be looted at any moment.

💬 #Zakharova : We call on the Israeli leadership to immediately STOP the bloodshed in the #GazaStrip & resume negotiations on a peaceful settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in accordance with UNSC & UNGA resolutions providing for the establishment of a Palestinian state

💬 #Zakharova : The Int'l Criminal Court sometimes claims to act allegedly on behalf of the entire 'international community', although if you count the population of states not party to the Rome Statute, the MAJORITY of the world's inhabitants are outside the jurisdiction of it.

💬 #Zakharova : The EU leadership's imperial plans for border expansion are deliberately artificial, carried out against established pre-accession criteria, thereby significantly weakening the EU's political and economic position in a multipolar world.

💬 #Zakharova : The Day of Slavic Writing and Culture is marked on May 24 in Russia and abroad.

💬 #Zakharova : Germany persists in refusing to officially recognise the Third Reich’s crimes against humanity committed in 1941-1945, primarily the siege of Leningrad, as acts of genocide against the peoples of the USSR

❗️ That is outright hypocrisy & duplicity on Germany’s part

💬 #Zakharova : We have taken note of reports about the Danish Foreign Ministry's plans to provide $5.6 mln over 2 years to USAID for the “humanitarian” activities of The White Helmets.

The sponsorship of this NGO, like other irresponsible moves, has long undermined Denmark's image

💬 #Zakharova : It is alarming that further build up of #NATO 's capacity & capabilities is supposed to be achieved by drawing neutral European countries into its orbit.

☝️ We are convinced that this in no way leads to the strengthening of European security.

💬 #Zakharova : The Norwegian government has announced the tightening of rules on entry to its territory for citizens of our country for tourism purposes.

❌ This unfriendly move by Oslo is blatantly discriminatory towards Russians. This will be met with retaliatory measures.

💬 #Zakharova : EU politicians now say they never sought to defeat Russia 'on the battlefield' and those who allegedly refer to such statements are misleading the public 🤦

❓ How is it even possible to negotiate with them? [when they deny what they themselves said]

💬 #Zakharova : The Zelensky regime continues to attack canonical Orthodoxy in Ukraine

No matter how hard he tries to fulfil the order of his American bosses to destroy canonical Orthodoxy, he will not succeed

☝️ It will always live in the hearts of millions of people in Ukraine
