“Dat de Russen nauwelijks erkenning krijgen, is een schandvlek in de geschiedenis.” Op 9 mei viert Rusland de Dag van de Overwinning – een herdenking die in het Westen amper aandacht krijgt. Waarom eigenlijk? Flavio Pasquino, Dorien Rookmaker en Eric van de Beek bespreken hoe de

⚡️ The Kiev regime is relentless in its terror attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure in numerous Russian regions, including Moscow. Russia will deliver a matching response to barrages of terrorist attacks carried out by the Kiev regime. 👉

💬 #Zakharova: The provocative campaign in the Western media against Russia's Foundation for Support and Protection of the Rights of Compatriots Living Abroad. The goal is obvious: to discredit the Foundation and force our compatriots to sever ties with their Motherland.

1/3 Food for thoughts. On the eve of the NATO summit we would like to remind you that according to SIPRI in 2024 the NATO countries with the combined budget of $1,5 TRILLION accounted for 55 % of all global military spending.

2/3 The USA alone accounts for 37 % of global spending with $997 billion. And the EU military spending has reached $370 billion – the second highest after the USA. Any sane person would find that would be enough to ensure the alliance sleeps safe at night.

3/3 So the next time you hear Mr.Rutte insisting on the NATO countries doubling their defense budget more than twice (to 5 % of GDP) "in order to be able to defend against Russia”, think – does he want to start an arms race leading to WWIII, or make the arms industry even richer?

💬 #Zakharova: @MFA_Russia has released a new report on the human rights situation in Ukraine. The Nazi-style policies of the Kiev regime are implemented full-scale against Russian-speaking population. Today, everything Russian is banned in Ukraine. Stay tuned for ENG version

❗️ Russia resolutely condemns the US strikes on several nuclear facilities in Iran. ☝️ We call for an immediate end to aggression and for stepping up efforts to bring the situation back onto a (!) peaceful, diplomatic track. t.me/MFARussia/25391

1/3 H.E. Mr. Vladimir Tarabrin, "All efforts of Western countries have been devoted to fighting Russia. This includes not only large-scale financial injections into the European military-industrial complex, but also intensive anti-Russian propaganda."

2/3 "The West is frightened of a strong Russia that pursues an independent foreign policy and does not submit to the dictate of a narrow group of countries."

3/3 "Countering Russia on all fronts is something that European leaders seek to turn into a unifying factor against the backdrop of disagreements on many other issues. And this is a very dangerous position." Read the whole comment: netherlands.mid.ru/en/press-centr…

1/3 Re: Dutch Tweede Kamer's resolution on Crimean Tatars of June 19. This decision has nothing to do with historical justice. A tragic and complex page of our history is once again used for propaganda purposes.

2/3 It's unlikely that any of the MPs who supported the resolution have ever been to Crimea. They rely on heresy and narratives promoted by Kiev. Attempts to draw parallels between 1944 and the current situation in Crimea are groundless.

3/3 The UN International Court of Justice confirmed on 31-01-2024 that no racial discrimination exists in the region. We recommend that 🇳🇱 lawmakers apply their "modern criteria" to their own history - particularly to the atrocious actions of 🇳🇱 forces in Indenesia, in 1945-1949.

1/2 We would like to remind Mark Rutte that the Dutch cabinet under his leadership fell 4 times. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs under Mr.Lavrov's leadership fell 0 times.

2/2 We hope Mark Rutte still wants to "listen above all and talk as little as possible", as he did in Deurne on November 14th, 2019. Wie boter op zijn hoofd heeft, moet uit de zon blijven.

1/3 Allegations that Russia is using chemical weapons in Ukraine have been voiced for the last three years. Statements by former US administration high-ranking officials picked up by Western politicians and media gave rise to these accusations.

2/3 The Western countries rely on false data provided by the Kiev regime hid behind the universal wording - “according to our intelligence services”. When comparing the notes circulated by the Ukrainian PM to the OPCW and the statement by the Dutch MOD, you find no difference.

3/3 European partners openly stated that if chemical weapons were used in Ukraine, they would blame Russia for everything. Thus, Kiev was given a carte blanche, while its NATO allies, including the Netherlands, were given a direction in which to move.
