Vladimir Putin

It testifies the high level of trust between our countries,

Covering high tech, education, humanitarian ties, exploration of outer space - we cooperate,

I am confident that, through our joint efforts, we will continue to comprehensively strengthen the constructive Russia-India partnership for the benefit of our friendly peoples and in the interests of enhancing international security and…

That's the kind of people we have. The genetic code of winners.

What great weather you have here! A resort!

I commend the energy and initiative of the people of Buryatia, and their sincere love for the Motherland.

Japan has identified Russia as a main source of threats. I would like to point out that we are not threatening Japan... On the contrary, it has territorial claims against our country.

The Defense Ministry had already received instructions to prepare a response.

Anywhere, including in the Pacific Fleet’s area of responsibility.

We will not necessarily act in the waters where raids on our ships and vessels are being planned, but wherever we ourselves consider it necessary and appropriate.

This is, of course, nothing other than piracy and robbery.

We see the authorities of certain countries attempting, in violation of international maritime law, to restrict the movement of vessels operated by our businesses.

If European states continue to plunder commercial vessels containing Russian cargo, Moscow will be forced to respond in kind,

Only the first, but a highly significant step in Russia seizing the rest of the Donbas

Imaginary achievements and successes that we know don’t actually exist

I would like to note the positive momentum in the actions of our troops

Successes that we know don’t actually exist

For our part, we will do everything we can to support you.

The increasing pace of advance by units and formations of the Russian armed forces along the entire front line

Ukrainian forces are striking Russian oil refineries to create a nervous atmosphere in the country.

What’s the point of all this? Name even one proven fact.

Enemy forces are attempting to maintain their positions, but under the pressure of our troops they are sustaining heavy losses and are being forced to withdraw.

The war, now in its fifth year, is “progressing according to plan.”

But saving the Kyiv regime is not part of our plans.

It is clear why this proposal is being made, because our counter-strikes deep into Ukrainian territory are much stronger, have greater impact and are, frankly, more destructive.
