I am forced to comment on the statement delivered by my esteemed colleague, Mr. Richard Mills.
The freedom of the press and the opposition are indeed very interesting topics in Russia and in all other
countries. Indeed, we have quite a lot to say about this, but that is not the topic of today’s me…

In document A/76/L.22, the Russian delegation is seeing the General Assembly putting to a vote a politicized Ukrainian draft resolution. We call upon all reasonable and constructively minded delegations to join us in voting against it.

Today’s meeting of the General Assembly clearly demonstrates what we warned about in February (see A/75/PV.55). Through distorted reasoning and misleading and patently false arguments, the established practice of the General Assembly was flouted — a practice that was adopted by consensus to ensure …
We thank the Assembly for convening today’s commemorative event, dedicated to one of the most tragic events in the history of our country.
Thirty-five years ago today, it is no exaggeration to say that not only the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics but the entire world was confronted by a tragedy…

The Russian Federation abstained in the voting on resolution 73/332, entitled “Cooperation between the United Nations and the Pacific Islands Forum”. We are disappointed that the coordinators of the negotiations during the consultations refused to consider amendments or take into account the justifi…
The 1994 Cairo Programme of Action on population and development set universal benchmarks for international cooperation in that area.
