Vladimir Putin: “I see no point in meeting. It only makes sense for the Ukrainian side to stop the advance of our armed forces.”

Your choice, and your will, will once again demonstrate that millions of people stand behind our soldiers, that we are a united people bound together by shared values, historical memory, and love for our homeland, and that no one will…

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.

We must realize that the moment when nothing can be changed any longer may come very quickly and unexpectedly for everyone. The logic of escalating, increasingly harsh retaliatory measures leads to a fatal point of no return.

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