Vladimir Putin: “Can we be certain that these weapons will never be used? Well, of course not. We must bear this in mind and avoid such…”

Such a high, even record, number of people who came out and voted shows that the people of Russia support our efforts aimed at strengthening the country.

If it comes to a direct attack on the Russian Federation – in this case, we are referring to Kaliningrad, and perhaps other territories as well — the question of the Russian Federation deploying all the weapons at our country’s disposal…

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

I think it's another mistake, a serious one. And in my view it clearly runs counter to the interests of the German people.
