D. E. Lubinsky
Заместитель министра иностранных дел Российской Федерации
Background
D. E. Lubinsky is a Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation and has represented Russia in multilateral diplomacy on international drug-control issues. In March 2026, he headed the Russian delegation to the 69th session of the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs in Vienna and took part in related side events organized with UNODC and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. His role places him within the senior management of Russia’s foreign policy apparatus, especially on questions involving international cooperation and regulatory policy.
The available material identifies Lubinsky by his initials and surname and shows him acting in an established ministerial capacity, but it does not provide a full public career chronology, including earlier appointments, previous posts, or the date of his entry into the Foreign Ministry. The recent record indicates that he was already serving as deputy foreign minister by early March 2026, when he appeared at UN drug-policy meetings and bilateral discussions in Vienna. Within that setting, he engaged with international counterparts and represented Russia’s position in formal diplomatic formats.
Lubinsky has been associated with Russia’s work in global narcotics policy, including support for UNODC programs and cooperation with the SCO on anti-drug initiatives. At the 69th Commission on Narcotic Drugs, he participated in discussions on preventing drug use, youth outreach in digital environments, and regional cooperation in Central Asia, and he also met the president of the International Narcotics Control Board. His activities reflect a broader Russian interest in shaping international drug-control rules, including Moscow’s efforts to promote the international regulation of certain precursor chemicals.
