Vladimir Putin: “We need to strengthen our security, strengthen air defenses, and we will do that.”

This vote is for you. People believe in you, believe in our victory, believe in your courage, in your heroism.

Can we be certain that these weapons will never be used? Well, of course not. We must bear this in mind and avoid such an outcome.

At the heart of this escalation lie arrogance and overconfidence. This is a path to the brink of the abyss.

Your choice and determination will show once again that millions of people are backing our fighters and that we stand together.
