Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs

In accordance with the regular rotation, Russia will begin presiding over this UN body in April, and as announced by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the first session under Russian leadership will be chaired by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, in her Telegram channel, responded to the call of the Minister of Economy of Serbia, Rade Basta, to the government to join the sanctions against Russia in connection with the growing pressure on the republic from the West.

This was revealed by the Deputy Director of the Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Konstantin Vorontsov during the meeting of the First Committee of the UN General Assembly.

However, due to the overall "tumbling" of the international scene after Russia started the war in Ukraine, as a result of which universal sanctions were imposed on it, the interests of other countries are now not far from Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Two employees of the Russian embassy in Kabul were killed today in a bomb explosion that occurred in the area of the diplomatic mission, world agencies reported, citing the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

That message from Moscow comes after the recent criticism of Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Zorana Mihajlovic against Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Just to recall, after the conversation between the Serbian Minister of the Interior Aleksandar Vulin and Lavrov in Moscow, Mihajlovic recently stated:

The era of cooperation with the West is over, it's time to get rid of illusions and realize that there is no going back to the situation before February 24 in relations with Europe and the USA.
This was stated by the Director of the Foreign Policy Planning Department of Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alexey Drobinin.

The spokeswoman of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, warned that the USA is once again flirting with Russia on the issue of an open military conflict.

"The decision of the Bulgarian authorities to expel 70 Russian diplomatic and technical officials is not independent, but is dictated by external forces". This was stated at her regular weekly briefing by the spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova.

"Washington does not need peace in Ukraine, and therefore the United States has suspended negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv", a member of the negotiating group with Kyiv and the Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Leonid Slutsky, said.
