❗️Russian ambassador fights for wife’s right to join social club
A Canberra social club’s decision to grant membership to the wife of Russia’s ambassador to Australia has sparked a diplomatic stoush in the nation’s capital, triggering resignations and claims of discrimination.
“What we see now is an act of political pressure on Australian laws and institutions by the Ukrainian side, its attempt to determine who are more equal than others, promote Russophobia, both in the club and in the country.”
Moscow’s ambassador in Australia, Mikhail Petrakov, accused Ukraine of promoting Russophobia following the resignation of Liana Myroshnychenko, the wife of Ukrainian ambassador Vasyl Myroshnychenko, from the Women’s International Club of Canberra after it admitted Petrakov’s wife Irina Petrakova.
“What’s the big idea?” he asked. “Like it or not, socialise or not, Russia will not go anywhere. Will Australians agree that Russia and her national interests should be respected? Will Australian public bow down to the attempts to impose the Ukrainian will, and to discredit a well-respected club? Or will it listen to the voice of reason and Australian laws?”
“Diplomats’ spouses do not represent governments. By accepting Irina Petrakova, WIC acted in accordance with its rules and Australian legislation,” Petrakov said.

❗️Europe has still not been able to determine who can represent them in a dialogue with Russia on the issue of Ukraine," Peskov said.
Other statements:
— Russia is open to partnerships with everyone who is willing to contribute to the development of dialogue between people and states;
— The actions of Europeans must cease to be contradictory, so that Russia can believe in their desire to achieve peace;
— So far, Europeans are "fighting like spiders in a jar" if someone tries to establish contact with Russia.

❗️Putin declares his full support to mass events for physical exercise. This is not the first time that President Putin has made a point of the importance of sport and physical exercise.
PS. We know that Russian General Consul in Sydney Zarina Gabieva fully supports the Russian President's policy on sport including making conditions for sport and physical exercise available to political prisoner Simeon Boikov who has been evading arrest by Australian authorities for 1450 under diplomatic assylum in the Sydney Russian Consulate building.
