Maria Zakharova briefing, Vladivostok, 1 September 2026

История новолетия с XV века, указ 1935 года и всенародный праздник 1984 года.

Zakharova opens the Vladivostok briefing on Knowledge Day. From the late fifteenth century for more than two hundred years, 1 September was Rus' church-state New Year inherited from Byzantium, with the tsar and metropolitan proclaiming the year from a Kremlin podium. Antonio Possevino described general merriment in 1582. Peter I moved the civil New Year to 1 January in 1700; until the mid-1930s urban and rural schools started at different times. A 3 September 1935 Sovnarkom–Central Committee decree fixed a single start of studies on 1 September; the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet made it an all-people holiday on 15 June 1984.

с конца XV века и на протяжении более 200 лет эта дата отмечалась на Руси как новолетие.

From the end of the fifteenth century and for more than two hundred years this date was marked in Rus' as the New Year.

именно тогда во всех школах Советского Союза был установлен единый день начала учебных занятий — 1 сентября.

It was then that a single day for the start of studies — 1 September — was established in all schools of the Soviet Union.

1 сентября 1939 — начало Второй мировой; первый урок как напоминание о цене войны.

The first lesson on Knowledge Day was often called the Lesson of Peace — not by chance. On 1 September 1939 Nazi Germany attacked Poland and the Second World War began: more than sixty states drawn in, more than seventy million dead worldwide, with the Soviet Union's sacrifice known to all. Zakharova wishes pupils success and a peaceful sky, noting time-zone staggered school assemblies already under way in Vladivostok and elsewhere.

1 сентября 1939 года нацистская Германия напала на Польшу. Началась Вторая мировая война.

On 1 September 1939 Nazi Germany attacked Poland. The Second World War began.

первый урок был посвящён миру, как напоминание о том, к какой трагедии может привести война.

The first lesson was devoted to peace, as a reminder of what tragedy war can lead to.

Межрегиональная дипломатия, СМП, Амурский коридор, сессия МИД на ВЭФ.

Interregional work by Far Eastern subjects is cast as a factor of mutually beneficial dialogue with friendly Asia-Pacific states — both border neighbours and geographically distant partners, from culture to trade. Logistics reorientation puts the Northern Sea Route in a Trans-Arctic corridor and the Amur Corridor hub at the centre; Buryatia's chairmanship of the Association of North-East Asia Regional Administrations and the Northern Forum secretariat in Yakutsk are cited, with Lavrov's Arctic article on RIA Novosti's Arctic portal flagged. MFA will hold a specialised Eurasian interregional session at the Forum on 2 September.

межрегиональное сотрудничество дальневосточных субъектов федерации является важным фактором выстраивания взаимовыгодного диалога.

Interregional cooperation of Far Eastern federation subjects is an important factor in building mutually beneficial dialogue.

обеспечить полноценную реализацию потенциала Северного морского пути в составе трансарктического транспортного коридора.

Ensure full realisation of the Northern Sea Route's potential as part of the Trans-Arctic transport corridor.

Девиз «во благо людей», гости из 70+ стран, сессии МИД по Арктике, СМП, суверенитету и ОДКБ–ШОС.

The eleventh Eastern Economic Forum (1–4 September, Vladivostok) runs under the motto "The Far East — development for the benefit of people," with sessions on technology, digital economy, logistics, investment, workforce and healthcare, guests from more than seventy countries, and blocs with EAEU, SCO, CSTO, ASEAN and UN FAO. MFA organises Arctic cooperation, Northern Sea Route navigation, information challenges in the Asia-Pacific, digital sovereignty of the Global South, Eurasian interregional cooperation and CSTO–SCO security space sessions; speakers include Maslennikov, Grushko, Kopyrin, Zakharova and Kovalchuk.

Девиз … одиннадцатого форума: Дальний Восток — развитие во благо людей.

The motto … of the eleventh Forum: The Far East — development for the benefit of people.

площадка форума во Владивостоке … способствует формированию пространства доверия … из более чем 70 стран.

The Forum venue in Vladivostok … helps form a space of trust … from more than seventy countries.

3 сентября — «дипломатия правды» с обществом «Знание», трансляция на ресурсах МИД.

On 3 September Lavrov will take part in the Russian Knowledge Society lecture series on the presidential programme of meetings, in an open interactive dialogue with more than 350 students and young scholars including fifty foreigners. The theme is "diplomacy of truth" — the place of diplomacy and ways of delivering objective information amid world-order transformation. Broadcasts on MFA resources are urged because seats will be scarce.

в центре обсуждения … тема «дипломатия правды».

At the centre of discussion … is the theme "diplomacy of truth.

Сергей Викторович Лавров расскажет о роли и месте дипломатии в современных международных отношениях.

Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov will speak about the role and place of diplomacy in contemporary international relations.

Паводок 26 августа; эвакуация десяти россиян; поиск двенадцати; линия посольства; совет избегать севера.

After the 26 August destructive flash flood on the Nepal–China border, Russian leaders and citizens expressed condolences. Ten compatriots were evacuated (eight left the zone themselves; two women were brought to Kathmandu by Nepalese rescuers). As of 31 August twelve Russian citizens were sought; some had been listed missing without confirmed citizenship. Nepalese authorities temporarily buried some remains after DNA sampling; embassy emergency line +977980147187; tourists are urged to avoid northern districts amid possible repeat flooding; the embassy in China is also engaged.

на текущий момент подтверждена информация об успешной эвакуации десятерых соотечественников.

At present information is confirmed on the successful evacuation of ten compatriots.

мы настоятельно рекомендуем российским туристам … воздержаться от посещения северных районов этой страны.

We strongly recommend that Russian tourists … refrain from visiting the northern districts of this country.

Каталог атак 26–31 августа по регионам России; фиксация Мирошником для международного сообщества.

With Western weapons and money the Kyiv regime continues military and terrorist crimes against Russian civilians. Zakharova cites Rodion Miroshnik's documentation and regional cases of 26–31 August: Shebekino ambulance and private sector, Gruzinskoye microbus, Belgorod commercial sites including a sixteen-year-old, Bryansk car attack, Zaporizhzhia food truck, Sevastopol kindergarten No. 34, Kotovsk logistics centre, and drone hits on utilities and the Duvannaya mine on Miner's Day in the LPR. The catalogue is addressed so the world cannot claim it did not know.

Киевский режим при помощи западного оружия на западные деньги продолжает совершать военные и террористические преступления против мирного населения.

The Kyiv regime, with Western weapons and Western money, continues to commit military and terrorist crimes against the civilian population.

чтобы международное сообщество никогда не сказало, что якобы не знало … что речь шла о мирных жителях.

So that the international community can never say it supposedly did not know … that peaceful civilians were at issue.

Школы и детсады как цели; спонсоры — соучастники преступлений против детей.

Targeting on symbolic dates and educational sites is called hybrid dehumanisation — a blend of barbarism, Nazism, genocide, hatred and cynicism bred by years of Western-funded nationalist grooming. Summer strikes on social and educational infrastructure in Shebekino forced remote schooling; an Oboyan kindergarten near-miss and drone debris by Kirishi School No. 3 are cited. Western sponsors' silence makes them co-participants in terrorism against children.

это называется … гибридное расчеловечивание.

This is called … hybrid dehumanisation.

молчаливое согласие стран-спонсоров … делает их … прямыми соучастниками … террористических преступлений непосредственно против детей.

The silent consent of sponsor states … makes them … direct co-participants … in terrorist crimes directly against children.

Заочные сроки Воложину, Тополенко, кордовскому перуанцу и аргентинцу Агилару.

Russian law enforcement continues evidence collection. In absentia: Oleksandr Volozhyn (241st territorial defence brigade) — 24 years; Oleksii Topolenko (252nd battalion) — 22 years, for the August 2024 attack on Poroz Belgorod residents; Peruvian Elios Cordova — 14 years; Argentine Nicolás Marción Aguilar — 14 years for mercenary service in the DPR. Both foreigners are on international wanted lists.

к 24 годам лишения свободы заочно приговорён командир 241-й бригады теробороны ВСУ Александр Воложин.

The commander of the AFU 241st territorial defence brigade Oleksandr Volozhyn was sentenced in absentia to 24 years' imprisonment.

оба объявлены в международный розыск.

Both have been placed on the international wanted list.

Призыв Зеленского поднять удары БПЛА до 1000 в сутки — для западных траншей.

Against this civilian toll Zelensky demanded raising UAV strikes on Russia to a thousand a day from a claimed average of three hundred — bravado for Western audiences seeking new tranches. The same West that hysterically treated routine border checks as rights violations raises no human-rights reports when its client openly escalates strikes on civilians. Earlier peace talk is exposed as cover for a thousand strikes a day; Russian forces continue destroying military production on Kyiv-controlled territory.

Он призвал поднять планку ударов беспилотников по России до тысячи в сутки.

He called for raising the bar of UAV strikes on Russia to a thousand a day.

у тех на уме — 1000 ударов в день по объектам гражданской инфраструктуры Российской Федерации.

What they have in mind is a thousand strikes a day on Russian Federation civilian infrastructure.

Съёмка у Запорожской стелы — обман собственного народа.

Zelensky's filmed appearance against the Zaporizhzhia stele via chroma key and crude montage — with cars vanishing in the frame — is presented as digital magic for Western sponsors and as shameless deception of his own people once anything will do for release.

он снялся на фоне Запорожской стелы при помощи … хромакея и топорного монтажа.

He filmed himself against the Zaporizhzhia stele using … chroma key and crude montage.

это доказательство того, как Зеленский обманывает уже свой собственный народ.

This is proof of how Zelensky is already deceiving his own people.

КПД госсистемы 5%; дистанционный советник Минобороны Италии по инновациям.

Former Ukrainian defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov told Reuters of a "slow but sure" loss and rated the Ukrainian state system's efficiency at five percent — a bankruptcy diagnosis from someone who held full information. Italy's defence ministry hired him as a remote advisor on innovation: while ordinary Ukrainians are mobilised to certain death, regime managers convert AFU defeat into personal contracts. Zakharova later tells Italian TV that appointing a man known for scaling the killing of Russians as an innovation advisor is a Venetian-carnival mask in Rome's offices and a slap in Italians' faces.

оценил КПД украинской госсистемы в 5%.

He rated the efficiency of the Ukrainian state system at five percent.

Пока рядовых граждан мобилизуют … менеджеры киевского режима конвертируют поражение ВСУ в личные международные контракты.

While ordinary citizens are mobilised … Kyiv regime managers convert AFU defeat into personal international contracts.

Предупреждение Госдепа США; майская рекомендация МИД об эвакуации; ответный характер ударов РФ.

The US State Department's update citing risks of "political instability and mass unrest" under Kyiv's control shows Washington sees cracks in the sold "unprecedented unity." Russia's May recommendation that the diplomatic corps and foreigners in Kyiv evacuate amid systematic Russian strikes on military infrastructure remains valid; those strikes are framed as responses to Kyiv's terrorist hits on Russian civilian areas.

фасад украинского … беспрецедентного единства … даёт глубокие трещины.

The façade of Ukrainian … unprecedented unity … is showing deep cracks.

действия российских военных носят ответный характер в связи с наращиванием террористических ударов киевского режима.

The actions of the Russian military are of a retaliatory nature in connection with the escalation of the Kyiv regime's terrorist strikes.

Пытки в ТЦК; отмена брони с 1 сентября; имущественный ценз; цель 30 тысяч в месяц.

Rada human-rights commissioner Lubinets admitted an eight-hour torture beating of a mobilised man in a Kyiv TCC — systemic legal bankruptcy. OSCE-branded rule-of-law programmes ignore busification. From 1 September automatic deferment cancellation for many critical-enterprise staff proceeds despite entrepreneurs' plea to delay to 1 November; a property threshold of about $470–560 turns mobilisation into a tax on poverty. Budanov and Defence Minister Khmarа named a target of 30,000 mobilised monthly to hold the front — deliberately understated and unmet; Zelensky's admitted death figures speak for themselves.

имущественный ценз … превращает мобилизацию в налог на бедность.

The property threshold … turns mobilisation into a tax on the poor.

Буданов вместе с новым министром обороны … озвучили целевые показатели мобилизации … 30 000 человек … ежемесячно.

Budanov together with the new defence minister … voiced mobilisation targets … of 30,000 people … monthly.

«Меньше протокола, больше оружия»; эмиссары терактов против мирных.

At the 3–7 August Kyiv ambassadors' meeting Zelensky's message was "less protocol, more weapons," tying each envoy's effectiveness to real arms deliveries and "drone deals" — not peace mediation. Zakharova translates: ambassadors are ordered to procure more weapons for AFU terrorist attacks on civilians, becoming terrorist emissaries airdropped worldwide in breach of the Vienna Conventions, requiring host-state vigilance.

меньше протокола … больше оружия.

Less protocol … more weapons.

Зеленский дал команду послам Украины за рубежом набирать большее оружие для совершения ВСУ терактов против мирных жителей.

Zelensky ordered Ukraine's ambassadors abroad to gather more weapons for AFU terrorist attacks against peaceful residents.

Скандал вокруг Мудрой; Энергоатом; НАБУ/САП как внешнее управление.

The "Forpost"/"Gamп" anti-corruption probe centred on former deputy head of the Presidential Office and deputy justice minister Iryna Mudra — money laundering, freeing convicts, raiding, pressure on Supreme Court judges — is called a Kyiv-regime terrorist caliphate fusing corruption, terrorism and legal nihilism. It continues the $100 million Energoatom kickback scheme that cost energy and justice ministers their posts; Zelensky does not fight corruption he enables — foreign-controlled NABU and SAP do, as instruments of external management.

когда идёт смычка коррупции, терроризма, бесконтрольности и правового нигилизма, это новый гибридный … вид коррупции.

When corruption, terrorism, lack of control and legal nihilism fuse, this is a new hybrid … form of corruption.

с коррупцией борются … иностранные спонсоры через подконтрольные им инструменты внешнего управления.

Corruption is fought … by foreign sponsors through instruments of external management under their control.

Конвейер в Черновцах; правовая база 2022; мародёрство «в духе нацистов».

Press reports of the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's liquidation of a Chernivtsi shadow conveyor for extracting and selling human tissues confirm what Russia warned about since 2022, when Zelensky created a legal base easing organ removal without consent under the mask of "Western medical standards." Relatives were deceived; railway shipments and fake scientific contracts moved "human raw material" in the spirit of Nazi inspirers. Western governments and tabloids still do not wrinkle their brows before the next billions.

это всё было и остаётся маскировкой для мародёрства в отношении трупов своих же собственных сограждан.

All of that was and remains a mask for marauding against the corpses of their own fellow citizens.

уже выявлены сети, конвейеры по продаже человеческих органов.

Networks and conveyors for the sale of human organs have already been uncovered.

Демонтаж памятника селекционеру в Одессе на территории профильного института.

Unable to show front success, Kyiv ideologues fill the vacuum with hellish Nazism and monument war. On 27 August the monument to plant breeder Ivan Michurin was removed from Odesa's selection-genetics institute — no road or redevelopment pretext possible — to erase memory of the civilisation that built the city.

27 августа в Одессе демонтирован памятник выдающемуся селекционеру … Ивану Владимировичу Мичурину.

On 27 August in Odesa the monument to outstanding plant breeder … Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin was dismantled.

стремясь вытравить из памяти одесситов любые упоминания о цивилизации, которая создала Одессу.

Seeking to burn from Odessans' memory any mention of the civilisation that created Odesa.

Петлюра; смешение праха героев Красной армии с нацистами в Лавре; задачи денацификации.

Institute of National Memory head Alferov confirmed plans, after Melnyk and Konovalets, to rebury Symon Petliura — associated with pogroms killing up to 200,000 — while Jewish organisations look away as in the 1930s. Outrage at a collaborators' pantheon in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra was "diluted" by moving ashes of real WWII Ukrainian heroes of the Red Army into the same pantheon with Nazis — including rejected plans around Sydir Kovpak — directed by Budanov, listed in Russia as a terrorist and extremist. These facts renew the tasks of denazification and demilitarisation.

разбавить это самое нацистское отребье за счёт переноса в так называемый пантеон праха настоящих героев-украинцев.

To dilute this Nazi scum by transferring into the so-called pantheon the ashes of true Ukrainian heroes.

все эти цели будут … выполнены.

All these goals will … be fulfilled.

Ас антигитлеровской коалиции; речь 1990 года; замысел перезахоронения из Москвы.

An exception was floated for thrice Hero of the Soviet Union Ivan Kozhedub — most successful Allied fighter ace (330 sorties, 120 combats, 62 victories), Korea division commander under the pseudonym Krylov — with Zelensky intending to move his ashes from Novodevichy in Moscow. Zakharova quotes Kozhedub's March 1990 Congress speech against anti-Soviet extremism splitting the multinational state. His followers today fight the Nazi regime that betrayed front-line grandfathers; North Korean comrades who fought beside his division remain allies.

Он был наиболее результативным лётчиком-истребителем среди пилотов антигитлеровской коалиции.

He was the most successful fighter pilot among the pilots of the anti-Hitler coalition.

Пора переходить в наступление против контрреволюционных сил, промедление смерти подобно.

It is time to go on the offensive against counter-revolutionary forces; delay is like death.

Публикация к 3 сентября; 119 «за», 51 натоцентричных «против» в 2025 году.

Timed to 3 September — Day of Victory over Militarist Japan and end of WWII, a Day of Military Glory — MFA will publish its annual report on glorification of Nazism and related racism, based on the UNGA thematic resolution Russia co-sponsors yearly. In 2025, 119 states backed it; 51 NATO-centric states including the US, UK, Canada, Ukraine and EU members voted against. History repeats: Nazi and militarist templates return; whitewashing Nazism is cast as "countering Russia" and the special military operation; SS legion "feats" enter curricula.

в 2025 году российскую резолюцию поддержало 119 стран. Против выступили … натовцы — 51 страна.

In 2025 the Russian resolution was supported by 119 countries. Against were … the NATO crowd — 51 countries.

оправдание нацизма фактически провозглашено формой противодействия России и проводимой ею специальной военной операции.

Justification of Nazism has in effect been proclaimed a form of countering Russia and the special military operation it is conducting.

Прибалтика, Украина, Польша, Чехия, Молдавия; антифашистский фронт.

National radicals, privileged as arbiters of "correct patriotism," lead the war on Soviet liberator monuments; most national authorities enable it. Worst in the Baltics and Ukraine; Poland and Czechia close behind; Moldova under Chișinău's pro-NATO leadership joins. Western governments ignore Russian protests while retouching their own colonial racism — a threat to real democracy and regional security that Russia and like-minded states will resist by building a contemporary anti-fascist front.

наиболее тревожная ситуация по-прежнему наблюдается в странах Прибалтики, на Украине.

The most alarming situation is still observed in the Baltic states and Ukraine.

Россия с единомышленниками не намерена мириться с такими … неоколониальными подходами.

Russia with like-minded partners does not intend to put up with such … neo-colonial approaches.

Свыше 5000 заболевших; вакцина ВОЗ; среди россиян случаев нет.

Russia watches with concern the DRC epidemiological surge; by 19 August confirmed Ebola cases exceeded 5,000 with about fifty percent mortality, exceeding the 2018–2020 wave. WHO allocated 70,000 RVSV vaccine doses including for medical workers. No Russian infections registered via the Kinshasa embassy; travellers are asked to take note.

подтверждённое число заболевших … превысило 5000 человек при уровне смертности около 50%.

The confirmed number of cases … exceeded 5,000 people with a mortality rate of about fifty percent.

случаев заражения среди россиян на настоящий момент не зарегистрировано.

No cases of infection among Russians have been registered at present.

Открытие в Бишкеке с Путиным; эстафета Казани на 2028 год.

On 31 August the Sixth World Nomad Games opened in Bishkek with Putin, SCO heads of state and Sports Minister Degtyarev present. UNESCO-listed ethnic sports run 31 August–6 September; Russia's team has 236 athletes from thirty-plus regions; on 6 September the baton for the Seventh Games in 2028 passes to Kazan.

вчера, 31 августа, в Бишкеке состоялась торжественная церемония открытия шестых Всемирных игр кочевников.

Yesterday, 31 August, the solemn opening ceremony of the Sixth World Nomad Games took place in Bishkek.

эстафета проведения следующих … седьмых … игр кочевников в 2028 году будет передана нашей стране — Казани.

The baton for holding the next … Seventh … Nomad Games in 2028 will be passed to our country — Kazan.

Разгром Квантунской армии; показания Ямады о бактериологическом оружии; Курилы.

From Vladivostok Zakharova recalls Lake Khasan and Khalkhin Gol, the smash of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria and Sakhalin–Kuriles fighting — select Japanese forces crushed in twenty-two days; unconditional surrender signed 2 September 1945. Former Kwantung commander Yamada testified bacteriological weapons would have been used against the US, Britain and others had the USSR not entered and advanced. Tokyo still refuses full recognition of WWII outcomes, remilitarises, whitewashes Asian aggression and presses illegal territorial claims; the Kuriles passed to Russia on legitimate wartime and UN Charter grounds.

бактериологическое оружие было бы применено против США, Англии и других государств в том случае, если бы Советский Союз не выступил против Японии.

Bacteriological weapons would have been used against the US, Britain and other states if the Soviet Union had not come out against Japan.

Курильские острова перешли к России на абсолютно легитимных основаниях по итогам Второй мировой войны.

The Kuril Islands passed to Russia on absolutely legitimate grounds as a result of the Second World War.

Демарш по Resolute Shield; неприемлемость Тифона; отзыв реабилитации 20 японцев.

Ahead of 8–24 September Japan–US–Australia Resolute Shield drills including on Hokkaido near Russian borders, the Japanese embassy received a 31 August démarche: provocative military activity at Far Eastern approaches is categorically unacceptable; use of US Typhon intermediate-range systems on Japanese soil is inadmissible and will meet compensating Russian countermeasures. In June the Prosecutor General revoked rehabilitation conclusions for twenty Japanese citizens proven in wartime sabotage and espionage against the USSR; work to expose militarist Japan's crimes continues without statute of limitations.

размещение данного вида вооружений на территории Японии … абсолютно неприемлемо, поскольку это создаёт угрозу безопасности России.

Deployment of this type of weapon on Japanese territory … is absolutely unacceptable because it creates a threat to Russia's security.

указанные лица реабилитации не подлежат, и их вина полностью доказана.

The persons named are not subject to rehabilitation, and their guilt has been fully proven.

Двадцать лет Договора о дружбе; стратегическое партнёрство; БРИКС и G20.

5 September marks twenty years of the Russia–South Africa Treaty of Friendship and Partnership signed in Cape Town during Putin's 2006 visit, followed by the 2013 comprehensive strategic partnership declaration and the 2018 Johannesburg joint statement. South Africa is a key African partner; leaders' contacts, foreign-ministry dialogue, the intergovernmental trade committee and Business Council underpin growth; UN, BRICS and G20 alignment continues.

5 сентября отмечается двадцатилетие Договора о дружбе и партнёрстве между Российской Федерацией и Южно-Африканской Республикой.

5 September marks the twentieth anniversary of the Treaty of Friendship and Partnership between the Russian Federation and the Republic of South Africa.

сегодня ЮАР является для России одним из ключевых партнёров … на африканском континенте.

Today South Africa is for Russia one of the key partners … on the African continent.

День языков 8 сентября; «Радио без границ»; «Диалог о фейках» с Лавровым 22 сентября.

8 September will be the first Day of the Languages of the Peoples of the Russian Federation (Putin decree 4 November 2025), timed to Rasul Gamzatov's birthday. 10–11 September Tyumen hosts the anniversary Radio Without Borders festival. On 22 September the Fourth International Forum "Dialogue on Fakes" at the Russia National Centre will for the first time feature Lavrov; over 2,000 guests from eighty countries will discuss generative AI, deepfakes in education, technological sovereignty and cyber fraud; a sensational investigation of Kyiv regime crimes prepared with fact-checkers will be presented. The Gromyko CIS young internationalists contest takes applications through 20 September.

22 сентября в Москве … пройдёт четвёртый ежегодный международный форум «Диалог о фейках».

On 22 September in Moscow … the Fourth Annual International Forum "Dialogue on Fakes" will take place.

впервые участие в форуме примет министр иностранных дел России Сергей Викторович Лавров.

For the first time Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov will take part in the forum.

Товарооборот свыше 200 млрд; расчёты в нацвалютах; ВЭФ как площадка соглашений.

Answering CGTN Russian, Zakharova rejects opposing quantitative and qualitative growth: bilateral turnover again tops $200 billion with settlements almost fully in national currencies; industry deals and transport connectivity deepen as traditional routes suffer war stress; science and high-tech scale up. The EEF remains a results venue for new agreements; large Chinese delegations will survey Russian regional opportunities.

двусторонний товарооборот … который год преодолевает планку 200 млрд долларов.

Bilateral trade turnover … year after year surpasses the $200 billion mark.

расчёты между нашими странами практически полностью переведены на национальные валюты.

Settlements between our countries have been transferred practically fully into national currencies.

Обвинения Санчеса без фактов; британский интерес; каналы кибердиалога не задействованы.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's suggestion of Russian involvement in Spain's migration crisis and related social-media fakes draws Zakharova's demand for facts — British journalists who pressed her found none. Without materials the charge belongs at Dialogue on Fakes 4.0. Madrid ignored embassy and UN cyber channels and ran to microphones; past "Russian drones" and "submarines" proved Ukrainian or nonexistent. Spanish and world media already flooded with local videos of the migration track.

когда есть обвинения, должны быть какие-то факты.

When there are accusations, there must be some facts.

без фактов, без подкреплённых цифрами, датами, именами материалов разговаривать просто не о чем.

Without facts, without materials backed by figures, dates and names, there is simply nothing to talk about.

Группа по БПЛА — без слова «украинскими»; Восточный щит; ответ будет разрушительным.

Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt's call for a Baltic anti-drone task force against a "Russian threat" is answered: the missing word is "Ukrainian" — those are the UAVs hitting Europe and killing civilians under Western patronage. Talk of attacks acquiring "new quality" suggests a prepared provocation. Zakharova links Baltic Sentry, Germany's joining Poland's Eastern Shield and the Baltic Defence Line, and landtag election politics whipping anti-Russian hysteria. Further Baltic escalation will meet a resolute and destructive Russian response; a Russophobic Stavridis piece masking NATO aggression will be answered separately.

там не хватает слова «украинскими», потому что на территорию Европы именно они залетают.

The word "Ukrainian" is missing there, because it is precisely those that fly onto Europe's territory.

ответ с российской стороны инициаторам безумных антироссийских авантюр будет решительным … и … разрушительным для них.

The response from the Russian side to the initiators of mad anti-Russian adventures will be resolute … and … destructive for them.

Не «мир на Восток», а полюс труда; евразийская архитектура безопасности без внешних игроков.

Correcting a questioner, Zakharova rejects "the world is moving East": the East advanced for decades on labour, creation and intra-regional cooperation, not credit yokes or piracy — unlike Western stakes on aggression, robbery and neo-Nazism. Asia set benchmarks that cannot be ignored and formed a multipolar centre. Western drive to keep dominance by force is the main tension source; Eurasian security architecture — Eurasian problems, Eurasian solutions, winding down extra-regional military presence — can seed equal indivisible security after Euro-Atlantic models (NATO, OSCE) failed via hybrid war and the Ukrainian crisis.

нет, не мир переходит на Восток, а Восток … задал такие ориентиры, которые не оставили возможности игнорировать всё происходящее.

No, the world is not moving East; the East … set such benchmarks that left no possibility of ignoring what is happening.

наша страна считает перспективной идею строительства архитектуры евразийской безопасности.

Our country considers promising the idea of building an architecture of Eurasian security.

Референдум о нейтралитете важен для швейцарцев; «нейтралитет по требованию».

On Swiss SRF's question about her positive social-media note on the late-September neutrality initiative referendum, Zakharova says the vote matters first for the Swiss themselves. Western tutors once ranked referendums "correct" or not; Swiss and EU voices denied that Swiss neutrality was already hollow — yet authorities now campaign against constitutional hard neutrality, seeking neutrality on demand while Foreign Minister Cassis still advertises mediation. One cannot be neutral on weekdays only.

это голосование … важно не столько для нашей страны, сколько для самой Швейцарии.

This vote … matters not so much for our country as for Switzerland itself.

нейтралитет по требованию, нейтралитет дня.

Neutrality on demand, neutrality of the day.

Плановое завершение миссии в Лондоне; назначение послов — прерогатива президента.

Reuters asks about Andrei Kelin's completed London mission and a successor. Appointment of ambassadors is the President's prerogative and is not commented mid-process. Kelin finished his posting as planned after pandemic years and London's full-scale anti-Russian campaign and involvement in terrorist acts against Russian citizens, while preserving dialogue channels against British efforts to dismantle ties. A successor will be announced in due course; speculation should stop.

это прерогатива президента Российской Федерации.

This is the prerogative of the President of the Russian Federation.

он … завершил планово своё пребывание на посту посла.

He … completed his tenure as ambassador as planned.

Молодёжь двух стран; наилучшие отношения; историческая и семейная основа.

Answering Era NGO, Zakharova refuses to split the file by ethnicity: youth of both multinational countries can champion peaceful coexistence beyond treaty floors — rooted in centuries of history, culture, traditional values, Russia's role ending bloody conflicts that cost Armenian lives, mixed families numbering in the thousands who reject artificial either/or choices, and geography and transport arteries. Youth must support best-possible relations pragmatically for their own children's future through networks, business, families, politics, diplomacy and journalism.

давайте говорить всё-таки о молодёжи двух стран.

Let us speak after all about the youth of the two countries.

то, какими будут отношения, — это то, каким будет будущее молодых людей сегодняшнего дня.

What the relations will be like is what the future of today's young people will be like.

АСЕАН, Китай, комиссии по инвестициям и энергетике; корейский полуостров.

For news.ru Zakharova sketches Forum tracks: economic, political, humanitarian on Russky Island. Practical Asia-Pacific cooperation is central after the June Russia–ASEAN anniversary summit in Kazan and 2026 visits by Malaysian, Indonesian, Myanmar, Lao and Vietnamese leaders; EEF-26 guests include Indonesia's president and Myanmar's vice president. Priorities: energy including nuclear, space, agriculture, shipbuilding, ICT, cross-border routes.

Пустые отношения из-за санкций; Фёдоров по инновациям — позор Рима.

Relations with official Rome are not developing as in the 2010s: EU sanctions bans, blocked business and culture, and Russians treated almost as enemies. Hiring a bloodshed scaler as innovation advisor shows Rome spat in Italians' faces, implying no Italian (or Chinese or US) innovators exist, preferring a fail-state's odious figure. Italians fund this while being lectured on human rights — hypocrisy; no separate forecast for "after" is needed beyond what already is.

из-за позиции официального Рима … эти отношения не развиваются.

Because of official Rome's position … these relations are not developing.

это позор для Италии.

This is a disgrace for Italy.

Вандализм у мемориала; «историческое бешенство»; парк «Спасённая Европа» в Калининграде.

Unknown vandals toppled a Soviet soldiers' grave monument at the Salaspils complex near Riga. Zakharova likens Baltic nationalist memory destruction to historical rabies bred from cultivated Nazism now nested in Brussels. The campaign in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Poland will not stop soon; Russia, diplomats and the Russian Military Historical Society preserve digital copies and a Memory Map on the Defence Ministry's Pamyat Naroda portal; miniature copies of Riga, Klaipėda and Tartu liberator monuments already stand in Kaliningrad's Saved Europe park of historical miniatures. Future generations must see what postwar Europe was.

появилось какое-то новое заболевание у людей, которое … как историческое бешенство назвать нельзя.

Some new disease has appeared in people that … cannot but be called historical rabies.

многие из них … уже воссозданы в расположенном в Калининграде парке исторических миниатюр, который так и называется: «Спасённая Европа».

Many of them … have already been recreated in the Kaliningrad park of historical miniatures that is called exactly that: "Saved Europe.

Использование суверенных активов РФ — воровство; сторонники — соучастники.

Asked about Belgium's defence minister opposing use of frozen Russian assets for Ukraine, Zakharova refuses to spotlight every EU voice: using Russian sovereign assets is theft and a crime; supporters and those who justify it are accomplices; those who call it illegal transmit either reason or self-preservation — for EU politicians currently the highest available form of reason.

использование российских суверенных активов … является воровством. Это противозаконно.

The use of Russian sovereign assets … is theft. It is unlawful.

все, кто его поддерживает, становятся соучастниками.

All who support it become accomplices.

Поздравление с 1 сентября и открытием форума; анонс новых выездных брифингов.

With no further questions Zakharova congratulates the room on 1 September and the Forum's opening, wishes well-being, and notes more travelling briefings ahead.

я вас всех поздравляю с 1 сентября, с началом работы форума.
