💬 Dmitry Peskov: Russia welcomes the efforts of US First Lady Melania Trump, who has made a substantial contribution to securing agreement on a humanitarian operation in Alyoshki, Kherson Region. Those wishing to leave the city will be able to do so. t.me/RusEmbUK/4008

💬 Director of the Russian MFA North Atlantic Department Alexander Gusarov: There is no reason to expect positive changes in Russia-UK relations following the formation of a new government in London. London has no interest in normalising relations. t.me/RusEmbUK/4006

💬 Russian Ambassador to the OSCE: One cannot but notice that the moment Russia and the USA show signs of forging a respectful and mutually beneficial dialogue, European states invariably panic and take action to derail this process. t.me/RusEmbUK/3994

☝️ The UK's vote against the draft resolution on addressing colonialism in the UNGA Fourth Committee speaks volumes. After centuries of slavery and colonial exploitation, London refuses to acknowledge that such practices persist in new forms. t.me/RusEmbUK/3993

✒️ #OTD in 1814, Mikhail Lermontov was born. One of Russia’s greatest poets and novelists, he is best known for A Hero of Our Time. #DYK he had Scottish roots? His ancestor, a Scottish soldier, entered Russian service in the early 17th century. t.me/RusEmbUK/3990

💬 Maria Zakharova: Up to 70% of Ukrainian agricultural produce goes to the EU and other Western markets. Bear this in mind when Western politicians claim that the fate of the world’s poorest nations depends on Ukrainian agricultural exports. t.me/RusEmbUK/3988
