Russian-African relations are time-tested. Having not smeared its image with the bloody crimes of colonialism, our country has ALWAYS sincerely supported Africans in their fight AGAINST colonialist oppression.
fallacy of relevance
NATO philosophy of domination and unilateral advantages has not gone anywhere since Cold War ended. The Alliance’s purpose “to keep Soviet Union out [of Europe], Americans in, and Germans down” has not changed. In fact, the US already has control over the entire EU.
fallacy of relevance

false dilemma
The search for alternatives to the restoration of the JCPOA is fraught with escalation and arms race. The consequences could be irreversible.

CoE has chosen “megaphone diplomacy” in communicating with Russia, having rushed to publish the letter by @MarijaPBuric to FM Lavrov. This shows that it is not about desire to begin constructive dialogue with Russia but about yet another propaganda campaign.
intentional

appeal to emotion
The goal of the West is to weaken, divide & ultimately destroy our country. They are saying openly now that in 1991 they managed to split up the Soviet Union & now is the time to do the same to Russia.
ad populum
The West should stop viewing Ukraine as a tool and springboard in its fight against Russia's statehood. The future of Ukraine should be determined by its residents themselves, and not by the overseas handlers of the Kiev regime.
intentional
Unfortunately, this is a very popular trend in Ukraine nowadays.
ad populum
After the anti-constitutional coup of 2014 Ukraine completely turned into an “anti-Russia”. Russophobia was elevated to the rank of state policy. The activists of Maidan never concealed their hateful Russophobic views & foreign sponsors were perfectly aware of that.
appeal to emotion
Now West countries are hysterical and are trying to make up for their own inadequacy with unprecedented aggression and malice. Frankly, they are reluctant to conduct affairs on the foundation of equality, mutual respect and observance of international law principles.
fallacy of relevance

intentional
Russia greatly appreciates the fact that despite unprecedented & crude pressure [from the West], our African friends, like the overwhelming majority of international community, have not joined anti-Russia sanctions. This independent line deserves great respect.
faulty generalization
Part of my interview with @lbc on Ukraine today. Thanks for not interrupting me as most other Western interviewers and anchors do.
fallacy of extension
The war “until the last Ukrainian” to be fought on the Ukrainian territory is something Kiev’s Western sponsors benefit from. This is how their weapons industries can receive colossal profits, and also how NATO can test its armaments.
intentional

Current anti-Russian US policies reflect attempts to establish the end of history & final and irreversible dominance of the “golden billion”. These vain attempts are anti-historical and aimed at stopping & suppressing the objective formation of a multipolar world.
appeal to emotion
West Decided To Fight Russia To The Last Ukrainian — President Putin. The Russian president made the comment after addressing the British initiative to supply Kiev’s forces with depleted uranium shells.
ad hominem
The routine benefits of civilization become the privilege of the rich. This is the price that ordinary citizens pay for the anti-Russian policy of the ruling elites. Read Russian FM Lavrov's interview with the @Newsweek magazine.

ad hominem
It turned out that our so-called partners’ geopolitical interests were far more important to them than any ideological contradictions with the former Soviet Union. And immediately they started rocking Russia’s boat.
faulty generalization
Many people say "there are no Nazis in Ukraine". Meanwhile, on 1 January 2023, a torchlight procession was held in Kiev on the occasion of bandera's birthday. Ukrainian Nazis on posters, Nazi slogans loudly chanted.
intentional
Ukraine abstained on this resolution. Why? To demonstrate that it is even more loyal to the US than EU Member States?
ad populum
Many states not belonging to NATO and EU call for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. Russia repeatedly confirmed its readiness for negotiations. The problem is that Ukraine officially and categorically rejects any peace talks.
false dilemma
The goal of the special military operation is primarily to protect the people and Russia itself from threats being posed to it on our historical lands bordering our territory. We cannot allow this to happen.

fallacy of relevance
The rise of anti-Semitism in Germany, the UK, Canada and the US remains a problem.
faulty generalization
Putin to Scholz: interruptions in NS1 operation are caused by anti-Russia sanctions that interfere w/ its maintenance. Blaming Moscow for Europe’s energy woes is cynical given the closure of gas supplies via Ukraine & Poland and the refusal to allow NS2 operation.
faulty generalization
World is becoming multipolar, yet some states try to preserve their faltering hegemony via political, military, economic, information & other means, incl destroying strategic stability legal framework & unilateral sanctions against those rejecting their policy.
intentional

fallacy of relevance
US and its allies are responsible for current deplorable state of Afghan economy, after their disastrous 20-year presence in the country. They must assume the main financial burden of post-war rehabilitation of Afghanistan and, firstly, free the frozen Afghan assets.
intentional
Some 35 percent of the grain exported from Ukraine went to European countries, to non-poor countries, and definitely not to the world’s poorest countries. And only 4.5 percent of the shipments were sent to the poorest countries under the UN programme.
intentional
The rights and even the lives of people in the DPR, LPR, Kherson, and Zaporozhye regions are exposed to a threat. Only a clear legal status of these territories and their accession to the Russian Federation could give them protection and confidence about the future.

fallacy of extension
NATO and the European Union are so afraid of eliminating their expensive weapons that they instruct Ukraine wards to transport Western equipment in civilian trucks. In other words, they are ready to do anything, even cover themselves with human shields, to keep the weapons safe.
intentional
Good night, Crimea🇷🇺!
appeal to emotion
The tragedy in Donbass is the result of the actions of neo-Nazi regime who took the power in Kiev by force in 2014 & then launched military action against Donbass with artillery, aviation & heavy equipment. It is our duty to help the people in Donbass.
fallacy of relevance
NATO declared last year that seven NATO countries, which are signatories to the NPT, contributed dual-capable aircraft to the nuclear sharing mission. Welcome to the “rule-based order”! What is perfectly permissible to the West is forbidden for Russia!

intentional
When discussing topical international & regional problems, the Chinese President and I affirmed that Russia & China’s views on them are identical or very close.

fallacy of extension
US-led collective West has no plans to abandon its course of global domination or growing at the expense of interests of other members of the international community. US is using the concept of a rules based order as an ideological cover for its aggressive designs.
appeal to emotion
The longer the Kiev regime entertains its unhealthy and painful fantasies, the closer it is pushing Ukraine to the brink of an abyss.
fallacy of extension

Western contributors of long-range artillery are responsible for deaths of people from Donbas who live in the area that the UAF had not been able to reach with its strikes before. We keep record of all these facts.
intentional
Finland and Sweden are in the process of joining NATO. Under previous status as neutral states they played a more visible role in int. affairs than the majority of individual NATO states. The question is if they can keep the same role as members of a military alliance?
intentional
Any attempts to revise our country’s contribution to achieving the Great Victory [over Nazism] de facto means justifying Nazi crimes & paves the way to reviving its deadly ideology. Horrible tragedies can happen again if we forget the lessons of history.
appeal to emotion
The Supreme Court of #Ukraine upheld the decision not to recognize the Nazi character of the symbols of the SS division “Galicia”. The division was formed in 1943 to cooperate with Nazi Germany.

Ladies and gentlemen, please meet a prominent Ukrainian diplomat, high-ranking member of Ukrainian Foreign Service, Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the UN Sergey Olegovich Kyslytsya! No further comment!
circular claim

intentional
Russia is in favour of building up non-politicised, applied collaboration within the framework of the East Asia Summit.
fallacy of relevance
Afghanistan remains one of the biggest security challenges for our region. After more than 20 years of US and NATO military presence and their failing policy, that country turned out to be unable to independently deal with the terrorist threat.
intentional
I want to emphasise that our country has always and will always consider cooperation with African states a priority. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is one of the unchanging priorities of Russia’s foreign policy.
ad hominem
President Putin: The Western elites have become a symbol of total unprincipled lies. Read the Presidential Address to Federal Assembly:

fallacy of extension

intentional
The position of the states that are pumping Ukraine with weapons and combat equipment and training its armed forces is particularly cynical against this backdrop.
appeal to emotion
The Russian army is gradually and methodically destroying not only obsolete Soviet-style weapons, which Eastern European countries were glad to get rid of, but also modern NATO weapons.
fallacy of extension
NATO actually directly guides the actions of Kiev in the theater of operations. Representatives of Ukrainian military intelligence have publicly acknowledged that the US is directly involved in coordinating every target of the multiple-launch rockets of the US HIMARS.
faulty generalization
By issuing threats and exerting pressure, US and UK cross every red line there is, issuing threats re politicians’ accounts in US banks or their children studying at US universities. They stop at nothing. A perfect example of what they really think about democracy.
ad hominem
We are realigning our foreign policy and foreign trade. We no longer want to remain under the illusion that the West will conscientiously participate in the globalisation processes or even mechanisms of its own making.

intentional
It is questionable that the US has any relation to this dispute between Poland and Germany.

fallacy of relevance
Over centuries of colonialism, diktat & hegemony, West got used to being allowed everything, spitting on whole world. They treat people living in their own countries with same disdain, like a master. Western elites became a symbol of total, unprincipled lies.
fallacy of extension
Kiev regime owes its impunity to its Western curators, primarily Germany & France, and the US of course. Instead of pressing Ukraine into complying with Minsk Agreements, they cynically turned a blind eye to Ukraine’s open threats to resolve the “Donbass problem” by force.
faulty generalization
Ukraine’s Danilov: “We need to say it out loud to the West,we defend not only ourselves, we defend NATO…we fight for them,we die for them.” Yet another high-ranking Ukrainian official admits Ukraine is puppet of collective West that fights, kills & tortures in West’s interests.
faulty generalization
Situation in and around Ukraine is only an element of a large-scale collision created by a small group of Western states that wanted to maintain their global domination and to turn back the objective process of the rise of a multipolar architecture.
ad hominem
.@radeksikorski thanked the US for blowing up a gas pipeline. @UrmasReinsalu congratulated ukrainian spec ops on the #CrimeanBridge attack. Murders, diversions, destructions, provocations and frame-ups – this criminal logic has bound @NATO regimes.

We regret that the activities of G20 continue to be destabilized by the collective West & used in an anti-Russian, purely confrontational manner. Our opponents, primarily US, EU & G7, continue their paranoid attempts to isolate Russia & shift the blame.
appeal to emotion
For us, this is primarily about fighting for our people who live in these territories. You see, we are a multi-ethnic country; this is the Russian world after all.

In the context of the Ukraine-related crisis, it is the Americans and their allies who are trying to introduce nuclear rhetoric into public circulation.
faulty generalization
Russia's special military operation reveals new evidence of the direct involvement of military specialists from the US and other NATO countries in the armed confrontation on the side of the armed formations of the Kiev regime.
faulty generalization
What is the reason for apparent inability of UK officials & media to publicly denounce Ukrainian military & its neo-Nazi detachments that have for 8 years subjected civilian residents of Donbass, their families & children to uninterrupted terror & oppression?
ad hominem
The US & its NATO allies ignore efforts to cultivate neo-Nazism in Ukraine, viewing the revival of the Bandera movement as part of its struggle against Russia. They are doing everything possible to ensure that this ideology becomes the main in Ukraine.
false dilemma
US and NATO now approached a dangerous point. Their persistent course towards escalation in military confrontation in Ukraine is a direct path to a full-scale military conflict in Europe.
