🎙Permanent Delegate of Russia to #UNESCO R.Alyautdinov at #IPDC Intergovernmental Council:
📍In recent years, Russia has faced an unprecedented aggressive campaign aimed at total blocking the Russian media in the West in order to clean up information space from alternative points of view and impose censorship.
📍Western countries violate thus their international obligations.
📍Latvia staged a "trial" against many journalists.
📍Kiev regime launched a "hunt" against 🇷🇺media, introduced censorship, persecute journalists through extremist website "Mirotvorets". Ukrainian terrorists are purposefully killing our journalists.
📍We are outraged by absence of UNESCO Secretariat' reaction to oppression of 🇷🇺media and killing of 🇷🇺journalists. Director-General violates her mandate. This nullifies the values of #UNESCO, including combating discrimination & journalists' protection.

There was another possible development: Reuters also reported that Ukraine said that Belarus could soon join the invasion of Ukraine. However, the AFP, citing a Pentagon official, said the U.S. hasn’t yet seen evidence that Belarusian troops are in Ukraine. The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych. Apparently upbeat developments in Russia's discussions with Ukraine helped at least temporarily send investors back into risk assets. Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko that there were "certain positive developments" occurring in the talks with Ukraine, according to a transcript of their meeting. Putin added that discussions were happening "almost on a daily basis." One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video message on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces "destroy the invaders wherever we can."
