It is symbolic that it is our British colleagues, who are presiding over the Security Council this month, who pushed through today's meeting, timing it to coincide with the 1,000 days since the Ukrainian crisis reached the hot phase. Once again, we have had a wonderful opportunity to see that for you and your colleagues this briefing is nothing but a flashy media event to vilify Russia and pin on it some hackneyed labels that predictably abounded in the statements by the Western members of the Council. In your country – in Great Britain – Russophobia has become part of the national policy long before February 2022.

It would suffice to recall at least the ethnic cleansing in Ireland, where after the British conquest remained only 850,000 people out of more than 1.5 million. And during the Second Boer War at the turn of the 20-21 centuries, it was the British who first invented concentration camps and drove civilians into them to make sure that they would not help the Boer army. How many people perished then? – nobody knows, because the British did not consider the indigenous population of Africa as human beings and did not document losses among Africans whatsoever. We do know though that in Kenya, after the Mau-Mau rebellion the British unleashed mass repressions, killing about 300 thousand representatives of this people and another 1,500,000 people were driven into camps and turned into slaves. India also suffered enormous damage during the period of British rule, whereby from 15 to 29 million people fell victim to famine engineered by Great Britain.

The consequences of the actions of former colonizers resonate in the modern world even today. Even though colonial empires are formally a thing of the past, the old methods – pressure, manipulation and interference in sovereign affairs – are still being used and simply have new forms. Britain is not an exception here, but rather a “trendsetter”. Thus, suffering from phantom pains, longing for the empire over which “the sun never sets” and feeling nostalgic for the lost dominance, Great Britain (along with its like-minded Franco-Saxon associates) resorts to blackmailing and sanctions, and overthrows unwanted regimes through “color revolutions”, with Ukraine being one of the victims of such revolutions in 2014.

And I’m saying this to show that you have no moral right to accuse and reproach my country, and will never have. We have set the goal of getting rid of the nationalist and neo-Nazi “hornet's nest” on our borders. As long as the threats emanating from it, including the absorption of Ukraine by NATO, are not eliminated, as long as discrimination against the Russian-speaking people on the grounds of the language, faith and history is not stopped, as long as Ukraine does not stop whitewashing and glorifying Hitler's accomplices, our special military operation will continue. Its goals will be implemented in any event – diplomatically or militarily – whatever peace plans and schemes are being developed in the West in the interests of saving the entertainment actor Zelensky and his clique. And we’ll achieve our goals regardless of the militaristic agony of the Democratic administration, which after its epic fail in the presidential elections, whereby it lost the trust of the most Americans, has issued (according to some media) suicidal “permission” to Zelensky's regime to use long-range weapons to strike deep into Russia. Perhaps Joe Biden himself, for many reasons, has nothing left to lose, but what astonishes us is the short-sightedness of the UK and French leaders, who are rushing to play along with the outgoing administration and are dragging not only their own countries, but all of Europe into a full-scale escalation with drastic consequences. This is precisely what our former Western partners should think about before it is too late.

This is something that should be kept in mind also by those who have recently started talking about some kind of “freezing” of the frontline and by those who are trying to invent various schemes similar to the “Minsk agreements” rejected by Ukraine and its Western patrons. Do not waste your time, we no longer trust you, and we will only accept such a solution that will eradicate the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis and will not allow anything like this to happen again. As for defeating Russia on the battlefield, I suggest that you should abandon this idea. Europe has already tried to do this many times, and you are perfectly aware of how it ended each time...
