——According to TASS on the 1st, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Riyabkov said in an interview with the media that the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons remains one of the foundations of the international security architecture, and an uncontrolled nuclear arms race will have a catastrophic impact on global stability and the development of relevant countries. The Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons helps to avoid a nuclear arms race. Riyabkov said that Russia's deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus does not violate the Treaty on the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and Moscow will not transfer control of these weapons to Belarus. He said that within the NATO framework, "nuclear sharing" based on US nuclear weapons has been ongoing for decades.
——Russian Defense Ministry spokesperson Konashenkov reported on the 1st that the Russian military used high-precision sea-based and land-based weapons to conduct cluster strikes on the command post of the Donetsk Campaign Tactical Group, and all designated targets were hit. Konashenkov said that in the past day, the Ukrainian army continued to launch attacks in the direction of Donetsk, the direction of Zizmann, and other areas, but was unsuccessful.

——On the 1st, Russian news agency reported, citing Russian military sources, that the Ukrainian army attempted to launch a counterattack near the village of Berkhovka in the Archomovsk region, but was repelled by Russian paratroopers stationed there. The Russian side claimed that the Russian military killed over 200 Ukrainian soldiers, destroyed 5 Ukrainian tanks, 8 infantry tanks, and more than 10 drones.
——Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov recently stated that the content of the US statement on ending the conflict in Ukraine through diplomatic means and negotiations is strange, as Western countries are constantly discussing the need to defeat Russia. In Lavrov's view, Western countries are attempting to temporarily end this conflict, achieve some kind of ceasefire, and buy time for Ukraine's military expansion, establish new military infrastructure, and hand over new lethal long-range weapons to Ukraine.
——Lavrov recently stated that so far, Russia believes there is no reason to support the extension of the Black Sea agricultural export agreement. Russia has bypassed obstacles set by Western countries, and grain and fertilizer exports are still continuing. He stated that if the agreement on the export of Black Sea agricultural products is terminated, Russia will provide equal or more batches of food to impoverished countries at its own expense.
