🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's interview with VGTRK broadcasting company (Moscow, August 14, 2026) Key points: • President of Russia Vladimir Putin made it very clear that we will respond in kind to Western maritime piracy. We will choose the targets ourselves. They will include vessels operating in the interests of countries that have made piracy and plunder part of their official policy. • We will not stoop to the level of the Ukrainian leadership, which celebrates on social media its terrorist strikes on beaches, dormitories housing young students and other civilian sites. ☝️ We will make our own methods far tougher, targeting everything that enables the West to fuel Kiev’s war machine. And we are already doing so. • Hostilities should stop only when there is a long-term, reliable and sustainable settlement. If we were suddenly to halt now along the line of contact, we would, in effect, allow the feat of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers who defeated Nazism to be erased. That is simply not an option. • As for the episode at the press conference of Aleksandar Vucic and Zelensky, where a question was asked about “how Europeans could help kill more Russians”, I saw that President Vucic was simply taken aback. Given Serbia’s enormous contribution to the Victory over Nazism, we would of course like to hear some reaction from our Serbian friends. • The metastases of Nazism continue to resurface in German society under Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who openly speaks of the need to make Germany Europe’s leading military power again. Does he understand what the word “again” means in this context? 👉 I am not sure. • We do not refuse to talk with US presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. If they come, they know that President Vladimir Putin is ready to receive them once again. The question is what they will bring with them. • We do not issue ultimatums. We have submitted a number of questions to the US State Department and asked for clarification, including regarding intelligence data and the fact that the US is much more deeply involved in organising and carrying out strikes deep inside Russia against civilian targets. We will await a response. • Our Turkish colleagues are once again saying that some arrangement should be reached to ensure that shipping is not targeted. ❗️ But we did not start this. When a Ukrainian drone strikes a Turkish bulk carrier, tanker or other civilian vessel, or hits ships linked to US companies Chevron and ExxonMobil, neither Turkiye nor the US publicly states that such actions by Ukrainian terrorists are unacceptable.

🎙 President of Russia – Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin took part in the final stage of the Russian Pacific Fleet drills (Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, August 12, 2026) 💬 Vladimir Putin: Unfortunately, the conflict potential in the Asia-Pacific region is growing. NATO is pushing into the region, new military-political blocs are being formed, and new weapons systems that pose threats to our country are being deployed or planned for deployment here. Tensions are also being stoked in the neighbouring Arctic region, including over the use of the Northern Sea Route. Russia has always advocated cooperation in the Arctic and once again confirms its readiness to work together and make use of the advantages offered by the Northern Sea Route – naturally, within the framework of existing international maritime law. Those countries that want to work with us and show an interest in this are, first and foremost, our friends – China, India and other states. *** The situation in the Asia-Pacific region is complicated, and there are plenty of problems. We would also like to understand the position of Japan, our neighbour – a country that, under the pretext of the events in Ukraine and without looking into the causes of the conflict, imposed sanctions on Russia that were in no way provoked by us. ☝️ We do not threaten Japan. We have absolutely no claims against it. On the contrary, it is Japan that has territorial claims against our country – I am referring to the issue of the Kuril Islands. However, the realities that emerged as a result of World War II are enshrined in international documents. Even so, Russia was prepared to seek a solution with a view to concluding a peace treaty with Japan. Back in the mid-1950s, the Soviet Union signed a declaration with Japan that opened the way towards a peace treaty. Modern Russia accommodated the request of the Japanese Government and resumed – I repeat, at the request of the Japanese side – dialogue on ways to conclude a peace treaty. At that time, we developed constructive relations with a number of Japanese leaders, including the late former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whose life was tragically cut short and who did a great deal to bring Japan and Russia closer together and narrow the differences between our positions. Russia stands ready – and I want to emphasise this – to cooperate with all its neighbours, including Japan and other countries in the region. *** We see that the authorities of certain countries, in violation of international maritime law, are attempting to restrict the peaceful passage of vessels operated by our companies. More recently, they have even contemplated seizing our vessels and selling off property stolen from us. ❗️ This is outright piracy and plunder. If such plans begin to be implemented in practice, we will be forced to respond in kind. And not necessarily in the waters where raids on our ships and vessels are being planned, but wherever we ourselves deem it necessary and appropriate – anywhere, including within the Pacific Fleet’s area of responsibility. Russia is strengthening its security both as a whole and in individual regions. At the same time, we are always ready to seek mutually acceptable compromises with all our neighbours and partners. And we are prepared to do so on the basis of due regard for each other’s interests. Read in full

🇷🇺 Exactly 30 years ago, on August 5, 1996, Russia approved the official symbols of presidential authority – attributes used during the inauguration of the newly elected head of state. Today, these are the Standard (Flag) and the Emblem of the President of the Russian Federation. *** – The Presidential Standard is the Russian tricolor with a golden image of the State Emblem in the center. During the inauguration, the Standard is presented to the newly elected head of state. After the oath of office is taken, it is placed in the President’s office. Duplicates of the Standard are flown over presidential residences while the head of state is present and displayed on presidential vehicles. *** – The Presidential Emblem exists in a single copy. It is an equal-armed cross with flared ends and an image of the Russian State Emblem in the center. On the reverse is a medallion bearing the motto: “Benefit, Honor and Glory”. The chain consists of 17 links, nine of which depict the Russian State Emblem. Plates on the reverse of the links are engraved with the full name of each President of Russia and the year they assumed office. After the oath of office is taken, the Insignia is kept at the President’s residence in the Moscow Kremlin.

🧸👋 #OTD 46 years ago, the Moscow 1980 Olympic Games came to a spectacular and deeply moving close. From July 19 to August 3, the Soviet capital welcomed more than 5,000 athletes representing 80 nations. They competed for 203 sets of medals, setting 36 world and 74 Olympic records. Political tensions intruded on the Games through a US-led boycott, imposed by the Carter administration against the backdrop of a CIA-led effort to undermine and ultimately depose the then official government of Afghanistan. Hundreds of athletes were denied the opportunity of a lifetime: of the 474 members of the US Olympic team, 227 never competed at another Games. 💬 Jimmy Carter himself eventually described the boycott as a bad choice: It was a decision that robbed hundreds of athletes of their once-in-a-lifetime chance at Olympic glory, and for more than four decades, it weighed heavily on the man who made it. 💬 As President Vladimir Putin recalled back in 2014: I know the views of many prominent US political figures whom I deeply respect. They believe that the boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics was a mistake – even despite the serious grounds cited for it and the circumstances at the time. Major international sporting events – especially the Olympic Games – are meant to help depoliticise even the most acute international issues and create additional opportunities to build bridges. It would be foolish not to seize that opportunity – and even more foolish to burn those bridges. Nonetheless, Moscow 1980 remained a truly international celebration of sport. Athletes from 25 countries won gold, with medals awarded to competitors from 36 nations. The USSR topped the medal table with 80 gold medals, followed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR) with 47 gold. Bulgaria and Poland delivered historic performances, winning 41 and 32 medals respectively. Zimbabwe captured its first-ever Olympic gold in women’s field hockey. Brazil won two gold medals for the first time in its history – both in sailing – while Spain secured its first Olympic title since 1928. *** 🎈 The unforgettable finale of the XXII Olympics belonged to #MISHA (“little bear” in Russian), the smiling bear cub chosen as the Games’ mascot following a nationwide poll. At the emotional climax of the closing ceremony on August 3, 1980, at the Central Lenin Stadium (now Luzhniki), a giant six-metre inflatable Misha rose above the stands beneath a cluster of helium balloons. As Lev Leshchenko and Tatyana Antsiferova performed “Goodbye, Moscow!”, the beloved mascot drifted into the night sky, leaving thousands of spectators in tears. 🥹 More than four decades later, Misha’s farewell remains one of the most moving and instantly recognisable moments in Olympic history.

The Russians, the Tatars, the Bashkirs, the Yakuts, the Chechens, the Mordva, the Mari, the Buryats, the Tuvans, the Chukchi, the Evenks… These are just a few names of more than 190 ethnic groups living in Russia. Some of them count millions of representatives, others—less then one hundred. In terms of ethnic diversity, our country is a patchwork: a whole range of different traditions, religions and languages harmoniously coexist as a unity on a shared territory and under the auspices of one state. No wonder that 2026 was declared the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia. Linguistic landscape is even more diverse – according to some estimates, Russia preserves around 300 languages and dialects. Our nation can boast that as many as 12 language families simultaneously exist within Russia. More than 80 percent of Russia's residents acknowledge themselves as Russians. However, all the ethnic groups are respected and considered an integral part of our multiethnic family. This ideal is enshrined in the first line of our Constitution: We are the multinational people of the Russian Federation united by a common destiny on our land.

⚡️ Comment by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova regarding increased terrorist activities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (31 July 2026) 💬 The Kiev regime, which Western countries are nurturing, has increased its terrorist attacks on civilians within Russia. From July 24 to 31, at least 61 people have been killed and another 327 wounded in Ukrainian shelling and drone attacks. There are children among these victims: one child was killed and 13 injured. A recent shocking Ukrainian crime was the drone attack on a regular bus on the Lugansk-Svetlodarsk motorway on July 29, in which ten people – seven women and three men – were wounded. A drone attack on a car in the Lugansk People’s Republic killed a monk, assistant priest of the Church of the Holy Mandylion in the Cheremenetsky St John the Theologian Monastery, Gatchina Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, and wounded the priest of that church. The modern Bandera followers not only attacked public and private transport but also apartment buildings and private houses, social support and educational facilities, seriously damaging a school, a kindergarten, a culture centre, food stores, agricultural and commercial facilities, and utility vehicles. Over a hundred upgraded antipersonnel Butterfly mines found across Donbass and Novorossiya have been dropped from Ukrainian drones to increase the number of civilians victims. This terror campaign is being waged with the full approval of the Kiev regime’s Western sponsors, who are supplying Ukrainian forces with weapons for attacking civilians in our country. ❗️ Terrorist attacks on those who never held a weapon is a tried and tested tactic of Russia’s enemies, who have never throughout history been able to weaken, let alone defeat our country on the battlefield and are frantically searching for the means and methods of destabilising socio-political situation. The destructive contribution of the countries involved in attacks on Russian regions does not remain unnoticed and is carefully registered. There is no doubt whatsoever that those involved in the aforementioned attacks will be called to account after the inevitable collapse of their Ukrainian minions. They must know already today that this playing with fire is further destabilising the international political situation and undermining the prospects for peace and security on our continent. ☝️ We urge them to immediately condemn the Ukrainian neo-Nazis’ barbarian attacks on civilians in Russia and distance themselves from the military and political support of the criminal Kiev regime. Russia will continue vigorous efforts to protect its citizens and the security of our state, using all available means precisely and effectively. We have all the necessary resources, political will, and public mandate for this.

🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's interview with TASS Director General Andrey Kondrashov (Moscow, July 29, 2026) Key points: • As for our “Western partners’” constant attempts to deceive Russia, our patience eventually runs out. It was no coincidence that, shortly after the start of the special military operation, President of Russia Vladimir Putin summed up our relations with the West and Europe by saying: “There is no going back to the way things were before February 2022”. • The slogans of inflicting a “strategic defeat on our country”, of “decolonising Russia” have resurfaced in the West – once again, an explicit euphemism for breaking up our country. We see clearly what the West is plotting, and everyone needs to see this in order to understand that the situation is serious. President of Russia Vladimir Putin makes no secret of it. The entire self-proclaimed “civilised” world has risen against us. • Now that Zelensky, while steadily retreating in Donbass and on other fronts, has turned in desperation to outright terrorist acts, and the West sees that many of his long-range weapons are reaching their targets, they have begun promoting this phase of the conflict as a “turning point” – as proof that “Ukrainian resolve can ultimately defeat Russia”. • Russia is making daily progress on the front line – not as quickly as we might wish, but while preserving the lives of our servicemen. Ukraine (and its Western handlers) is trying to compensate for its failures on the battlefield by carrying out terrorist attacks aimed at disrupting the way of life people have grown accustomed to. • I am very proud that our people understand the current situation correctly – as our history and those who defeated Nazism taught us. All the more so because today we are fighting the direct followers and descendants of those Nazis, with essentially the same forces aligned against us. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz openly says that Germany intends to become Europe’s leading power once again. If you are prepared to speak so openly, then be prepared for the consequences. • Russia's national interests in foreign affairs are to remain a sovereign power and an independent civilisation, to ensure the reliable security of our borders and to make sure that no one even considers telling us how to organise life within Russia. • Russia's principal national quality is something the West lacks. Our civilisation respects its ancestors – those who created it, built its cities and defeated its enemies. • The West is now telling us that it will still decide when the time is right to resume negotiations. They envisage talks at one table involving Europe, the US, Zelensky and President of Russia Vladimir Putin. Before that, they insist on a truce and a ceasefire. The Western countries would then deploy multinational forces led by France and Britain and only afterwards sit down for talks. What does that mean? It is an ultimatum. The front line would be frozen, while the Nazi regime would remain in place. • We must rely solely on ourselves, as our President has repeatedly stressed. The events unfolding now have grave consequences. But I want to reiterate: we are completing the work of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who defeated Nazism – while our former allies allowed it to survive and take root once again.
