Vladimir Putin: “We have demonstrated that nobody can impose anything on us.”

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.

Understanding that he is entering a difficult situation, he nevertheless does not stop his efforts to help bring about a settlement and to make his contribution to resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

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

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.
