"Russian and Chinese warships organized the first joint patrols in the western part of the Pacific Ocean from October 17 to 23", this was announced by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Moscow will host today an international meeting on Afghanistan with the participation of the Taliban, AFP reported.

The agency notes that Russia, which presents itself as a guarantor of stability in Central Asia, will use the forum to signal to the Islamist movement its concern about the rise of jihadist groups, and will stress the danger of a humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.

Russia considers the statement of the Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama on the unification of Albania with Kosovo unacceptable and expects an appropriate reaction from the West on that occasion.
This was stated by the spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova.

The Russian foreign ministry has declared a Macedonian diplomat as persona non grata and expelled them from their role in the Macedonian embassy in Moscow and the country.

Olivera Chaushevska-Dimovska was the charge d'affaires of North Macedonia at the country's embassy.

Zakharova believes that this should be done in order to prevent the escalation of the situation towards open conflict.
She pointed out that Russia is worried about the growing tension in Kosovo and Metohija, caused by the irresponsible actions of Pristina.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned Washington not to interfere in Russia's internal affairs.
"Official Moscow registers U.S. interference in the Duma elections, but it does not make a PR campaign out of it and does not engage in megaphone diplomacy," Zakharova said, TASS reports.

Western countries have chosen to ignore that, said the spokeswoman of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, on the occasion of filing an interstate appeal against Ukraine to the European Court of Human Rights.
According to her, Moscow has constantly talked about the "alarming situation" in Ukraine on all international platforms.

There are no significant changes in the relations between Russia and the United States of America after the summit of the leaders of the two countries in Geneva, said the Russian ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov.
But, he says - only ten days have passed. He added that the policy of U.S. pressuring Russia will continue.

A Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Spokeswoman assessed for Kurir that today, Kosovo is a black hole in Europe, where organized crime and corruption are flourishing and where an atmosphere of national and religious hatred and intolerance is being created.

The Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament, unanimously adopted this law on May 19, followed by the decision of the Senate, which confirmed the decision on June 2.
