✍️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin to US President @realDonaldTrump on 2️⃣5️⃣0️⃣th Anniversary of US independence: Donald, I wish you & your loved ones health, well-being & every success, & I wish all citizens of the United States happiness & prosperity. t.me/MFARussia/30816

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Happy 250 Anniversary, America! 🔹Since the birth of this nation on the 4th of July, 1776 Russia stood together being not only sympathetic to the Americans fighting for their freedom, but also instrumental in supporting former 13 colonies in the War for Independence against the British Empire, as Empress Catherine the Great categorically refused to observe the naval blockade and provide 20 thousand troops at London’s request. 🔹At another critical crossroads of the US history during the Civil War Russia resisted the British and French attempts to legitimize the Confederacy sending in 1863 two naval squadrons to American waters as a powerful deterrent to foreign meddling. 🔹Expressing support to President Abraham Lincoln, the then Russian Chancellor Alexander Gorchakov stated: “Russia’s policy toward the United States is defined and will not change. Above all, we wish to keep the American Union as an undivided nation”. 🔹There were such best days in our countries’ relations as comradeship-in-arms during World War II, despite prolonged policy of non-recognition (until 1933) of the Soviet Union preceded by the US military intervention in revolutionary Russia. But even in worst years of the Cold War Moscow and Washington, realizing their responsibility for world’s peace and security, did find ways to avoid confrontation. 🔹Nowadays, in the absence of principled ideological divides, while both our countries, led by leaders who have excellent personal chemistry, champion traditional values of family and religion, sovereignty and nation-state, as opposed to liberal-globalist “rules based order” that dominates modern Europe, Russia and the US could and should coexist constructively building on true, economically viable, mutually respectful and equal partnership.

💬 FM Sergey #Lavrov: Before the Alaska Summit, Steve Witkoff brought proposals from @realDonaldTrump to Moscow. They were discussed in Alaska & accepted by the Russian Side. Now @SecRubio says there were no agreements. That's not particularly elegant. t.me/MFARussia/30721

💬 #Zakharova: How does @Apple explain its actions vs Russian apps? They say – sanctions. 👉 Illegal & unilateral ones. Also: #VK et al. have never been included in any sanctions lists. In other words, this is a targeted digital purge of unwanted competitors.

💬 #Zakharova: Today, @AppStore removed a number of apps of leading Russian IT-platforms & services. No plausible reason given. Tens of millions of Russian users have had their rights infringed. ❌ This puts a definitive end to any talk of “digital freedoms”.

⚡️ @mfa_russia & @BelarusMFA have published the third Joint Report on the human rights situation in certain countries. Unlike similar Western studies, it's not intended to lecture or moralise. It summarises factual information on the mentioned states. t.me/MFARussia/30443

🇷🇺🇺🇸Great reception at the Embassy to celebrate Russia’s National Day attended by diplomatic corps, White House and State Department officials, Russian compatriots as well as US experts and Americans who stand for bilateral dialogue. Ambassador Darchiev stressed deep historical roots and amity between both countries that goes back to the times of American revolution and Civil War when Russia supported this country in its fight for independence and territorial integrity against British colonial meddling. Nowadays, given good personal chemistry between Presidents Putin and Trump, Moscow and Washington are doomed to normal relations as great powers responsible for world peace and prosperity, despite European spoilers eager to provoke Russia-US confrontation. Russia’s National Day symbolizes the unity of the Russian people strengthened by cultures, religious and traditions of hundreds of nations that made their choice to live together since ancient times keeping eternal loyalty to their common home on the vast expanses of Eurasia. The guests applauded to the concert featuring Russian songs and dances having a chance to enjoy diverse cuisine of Russia. #Russia1Love #RussiaDay2026 t.me/EmbUSA/10440
