🎙 Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question regarding the recent unfounded allegations against Russia in the UN Secretary-General’s report
 
❓ Question: The UN Secretariat has released the UN Secretary-General’s report on conflict-related sexual violence, which, for the first time, includes our country on the “blacklist” for the alleged involvement of Russian servicemen in instances of sexual violence against prisoners of war and civilians in Ukraine. The Israelis have also been included for the first time and have already announced a complete cessation of interaction with António Guterres’s office. Are we considering a similar response?

💬 Maria Zakharova: The situation regarding the conclusions drawn in the new UN Secretary-General’s report on sexual violence is truly egregious. It gives the impression that Antonio Guterres has resolved, as his tenure nears its end, to finish off the authority of the UN – an authority that his actions have already significantly undermined over the years.

The inclusion of Russia on the “blacklist” for alleged cases of sexual violence is politically motivated and utterly lacks evidentiary support. Regrettably, the UN Secretariat has long established a practice of issuing biased assessments concerning Russia, with conclusions predetermined and facts manipulated to fit the political narrative dictated by Western capitals.

No concrete evidence substantiating the allegations of sexual crimes has been presented to the Russian side. We have not received any verified facts, evidence, or information that would enable a substantive discussion of such claims. Instead, we are met with a barrage of unsubstantiated accusations and politically charged assessments masquerading as established truths.

☝️ We routinely submit to the UN Secretariat materials that refute the involvement of Russian servicemen in any breaches of international humanitarian law, including instances of rape, highlighting the baselessness of such assertions. Nonetheless, our arguments are simply not being acknowledged.

👉 Consequently, accusations of committing such grave crimes are based solely on conjecture – and frequently on blatant disinformation, which the Kiev regime is feeding UN officials. All of this forms part of a crude information and political campaign to vilify Russia.

We would like to specifically comment on the activities of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Pramila Patten. She is, as they say, thoroughly discredited in relation to biased and entirely false fabrications.

Allow me to remind you that she already distinguished herself in 2022, when she propagated a vile fake, concocted by the Kiev regime, claiming that Russian servicemen had used medical drugs to commit sexual assaults. Simultaneously, Pramila Patten – clearly seeking to elevate her profile on this issue – did not bother to verify the fragmentary data of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, which is not recognised by Russia.

❗️ Such conduct not only exceeds the mandate and powers of the Special Representative; it is, in essence, unworthy of the status of a UN official tasked with overseeing this critical and sensitive issue.

Realistically speaking, Antonio Guterres is already effectively on his way out of his office, and a new Secretary-General is expected to assume post at the UN by the end of the year. One can only hope that he will learn from his predecessor’s mistakes. We will continue to advocate for this.

Sour grapes

When you’re not invited to a celebration but really wanted a seat at the table, there’s an old, reliable tactic—declare the event fake, dismiss the guests as random nobodies, and convince yourself that the hosts failed anyway.

That is exactly the impression left by Danish coverage of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

The most amusing part is that the forum is called a “Potemkin village,” yet in the same breath the reports mention: over 20,000 participants, representatives from around 130 countries, delegations from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, as well as official representatives from the United States.

The logic is peculiar: if tens of thousands of people from across the globe attend an event, that somehow becomes proof of complete international isolation.

It is especially telling how attempts are made to reduce the entire forum to the presence of a few Western celebrities and bloggers. Yes, there are podcasters, journalists, public figures, and other “inconvenient” voices who openly criticize the modern West. But there is nothing extraordinary about that. Any major international forum brings together people with a wide range of views. In fact, such guests often become the most talked-about part of the event.

Meanwhile, amid all the focus on influencers, the main point is lost. The St. Petersburg forum is primarily an economic platform. It is where investment, logistics, energy, transport corridors, commodity markets, technology, and trade are discussed—the very factors that shape the world for decades to come.

But today, economics is posing an uncomfortable question for Europe:

What if the world is indeed changing?

What if the future of global growth lies less in Brussels, Berlin, or Paris—and increasingly in Shanghai, New Delhi, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Jakarta, and Lagos?

What if countries once labeled “emerging markets” are becoming independent centers of power?

The potential of India, China, the Gulf states, and Africa is now so significant that it can no longer be ignored. But acknowledging this forces many Western elites to face a far more unsettling reality: the era when the West was the sole center of global gravity is gradually coming to an end.

That is why talk of “Potemkin villages” often says less about Russia and more about a crisis of perception in the West itself.

Because a multipolar world is not about someone winning. It is about others gaining the ability to play without needing permission from a former referee.

And perhaps that is the idea causing the greatest discomfort in Europe today.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answer to a media question (St Petersburg, June 5, 2026)

❓Question: Vladimir Zelensky has published an open letter. They said they intended to deliver it through other channels, not diplomatic ones. What channels are they referring to?

💬 Sergey Lavrov: This is nonsense, like President of France Emmanuel Macron saying he would like to meet with President of Russia Vladimir Putin. It was said just to say something and see how it will be accepted.

❓Question: So, nothing was delivered through diplomatic channels?

💬 Sergey Lavrov: No, at least so far.

🎙 Statement by President of Russia Vladimir Putin at the plenary session of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum (Saint Petersburg, June 5, 2026)

Key talking points:

• We are witnessing turmoil in the energy markets and tensions being provoked in certain regions, primarily in the Middle East, and how the short-sighted EU bureaucracy policies are being implemented to the accompaniment of aggressive rhetoric and leading to Europe continuing to lose its standing in the global economy, while also undermining regional and global security. In fact, European elites are inciting chaos and are trying to embroil ever more countries into it.

These processes did not arise all by themselves; they are the result of the world undergoing the largest structural transformation in decades. This transformation is not a transition from one phase of a cycle to another. We are witnessing a change in the paradigm of global development.

***

• It has become clear that investment plans and business development steps may face serious risk where the external infrastructure on which they rely could be used against them. Therefore, countries are beginning to develop their own technological solutions, create their own supply routes, and build their own institutions.

Russia is experiencing these transformations firsthand. Although pressure on our country persists, the changing global landscape has also created greater room for manoeuvre. New partnerships are emerging, new financial and technological solutions are being developed, and access to promising markets is expanding. Against this backdrop, Russia views global change not only as a source of challenges but also as a tremendous opportunity. To make the most of these opportunities, we seek to act swiftly and pragmatically.

***

• The world becomes more equitable when economic growth is distributed more broadly and opportunities become available to billions of people who have long remained on the periphery of the global economy. It is very important that these new centres of growth seek to shape their own development paths, increase their share of value creation, and build their own brands, standards, and capabilities.

If you look at the global GDP dynamics of the last five years, you will see that almost half of its annual growth, 49%, is accounted for by #BRICS countries, whereas the contribution of the so-called Group of Seven is estimated at 18%.

***

• Sanctions and, basically, the theft of Russia’s international reserves have had an irreversible effect on the positions of the world currencies, the US dollar and the euro. This is an objective reality that cannot be ignored. Today, every country – let me stress, every country without exception – understands that, like Russia, it could at any moment lose access to assets lawfully held in dollars or euros, as well as to Western financial and payment infrastructure.

We recognise that this ultimately boils down to the issue of unfair competition. The specific pretexts may vary, and they can always be found. In Russia’s case, it was the conflict in Ukraine. In other instances, it may be developments in the Middle East, conflicts in Africa, or even a country’s stance on LGBT-related issues. A justification can always be found. But the underlying problem remains the same: this is unfair competition.

• Importantly, possessing an independent technological base is critical for countries with large populations, vast territories, and distinctive cultures. Such countries cannot act merely as users of foreign-made solutions, because in that case they risk becoming objects of control by external platforms. And how those platforms are used is another matter.

• In essence, major countries – true civilisations – face a historic choice:

👉 either they create their own platform and technological ecosystems,
👉 or they become a digital periphery.

There should be no illusions about this. Foreign services may initially be user friendly, but over time the cost of such dependency will inevitably become apparent.

📄 Full text of the statement

The Belgorod Brit talks about the rehabilitation of Nazism in the West. Hitler has changed from being a genocidal warmonger who was instrumental in the deaths of millions of innocent people, to being a controversial German statesman. Vicious SS Galicia volunteer murderers, responsible for massacring Polish and Ukrainian women and children are now Ukrainian freedom fighters, who draw applause from the Canadian government.

In the podcast, BB goes into the origins of the rehabilitation of Nazism, and charts its progress through the Cold War up to the present. It starts with a characterisation of WW2 in the East as tragedy rather than a racist war of annihilation. Then came the concentration on the 'good German' narrative, and finally those who fought Communists as heroes with certain delusions about Jews. He goes on to talk about how criticism of Nazism has now been suspended in Western culture.
