السفير الروسي لدى السودان في أخطر إفادات عن الحرب والبرهان وحميدتي

بيان وزارة الخارجية الروسية بصدد الهجوم على الأراضي الإسرائيلية

⚡️ Foreign Ministry statement in connection with the attack on Israeli territory

💬 In the early hours of April 14, a large number of missiles and drones were launched at the territory of Israel.

According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, this attack was undertaken as part of the right to self-defence stipulated in Article 51 of the UN Charter in response to the attacks on Iranian targets in the region, including the strike on the consular section of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus on April 1, which our country strongly denounced.

Unfortunately, due to the position adopted by its Western members, the Security Council was unable to provide a proper response to the strike on the Iranian consular mission.

We express our extreme concern at yet another dangerous escalation in the region. We have repeatedly warned that the numerous unresolved crises in the Middle East, primarily in the area of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which are often fueled by irresponsible provocative actions, will exacerbate tensions.

☝️ We call on all parties involved in the conflict to exercise restraint. We expect the regional states to resolve the existing problems through political and diplomatic means. We believe it is important for the constructively-minded international players to contribute to this effort.

🚀 On April 12, 1961, at 09:07 Moscow time, the Vostok spacecraft with pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on board blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, marking the beginning of the space age in the history of mankind.

Yuri Gagarin spent 108 minutes in space, making a complete orbit around the Earth, and successfully landed near the village of Smelovka in the Saratov Region.

While in orbit, he maintained radio contact with Earth, made observations through a porthole, controlled the operation of the ship's systems, and carried out simple experiments.

📰 Even his wife did not know about this feat. The news about Yuri's flight came out only 55 minutes after the launch of the Vostok rocket, becoming the most quoted report in the world. Overnight, the Soviet citizen became the most famous man on Earth.

Two days later, many thousands of people with flowers and welcome posters took to the streets of Moscow, honouring the cosmonaut who had arrived in the capital. At the end of April, our compatriot went on a foreign tour, travelling through more than 30 countries in two years, where he was welcomed as a hero.

💬 Sergey Lavrov: For billions of people around the world, Yuri Gagarin continues to serve as an example of heroism and selflessness, inspiring them to overcome any obstacles in pursuit of the most ambitious and noble goals (Minister's video message on the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's space flight).

Gagarin's flight embodied the triumph of Soviet science and technology and was of crucial importance for further development of space exploration and the mankind.

🌐 In 1968, the 61st General Conference of the International Aviation Federation decided to celebrate April 12 as the World Day of Aviation and Astronautics, and in 2011, at the initiative of Russia, the UN General Assembly proclaimed April 12 as the International Day of Human Space Flight.

✍️ President Vladimir Putin sent his greetings to Russia’s Muslims on Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

💬 Over the centuries, Eid al-Fitr has come to symbolise for Muslims the joy of renewal, an aspiration to become better, and the purity of thought and deeds.

Muslims in Russia cherish the rich historical, cultural and religious traditions inherited from their ancestors. They come together as communities and families to celebrate this holiday and help those in need in keeping with their forefathers’ legacy.

☝️ Muslim organisations have been playing a proactive role in our society by undertaking important patriotic, educational and charity initiatives. They have been successful in working with the state and civil society with a focus on educating the younger generation, supporting participants and veterans of the special military operation, as well as their families. They have also been instrumental in strengthening the unity of our people and preserving inter-ethnic harmony.

✍️ Президент России В.В.Путин поздравил мусульман России с праздником Ураза-байрам:

💬 Сердечно поздравляю мусульман России с праздником Ураза-байрам, знаменующим окончание священного месяца Рамадан.

На протяжении столетий Ураза-байрам олицетворяет для последователей ислама радость обновления, стремление к нравственному совершенствованию, чистоте помыслов и поступков.

Мусульмане России бережно хранят богатейшие исторические, культурные, религиозные традиции предков и, следуя отеческим заветам, отмечают этот праздник в своих общинах и семейном кругу, оказывают помощь нуждающимся.

☝️ Мусульманские организации созидательно участвуют в жизни страны, в реализации востребованных патриотических, просветительских, благотворительных инициатив, плодотворно взаимодействуют с государственными и общественными структурами, уделяют приоритетное внимание воспитанию подрастающего поколения, поддерживают участников и ветеранов специальной военной операции, их родных и близких, вносят большой вклад в укрепление сплочённости нашего народа, сбережение межнационального согласия.

Желаю мусульманам России здоровья, успехов и всего наилучшего.
