Vladimir Putin

Putin made sure to make a spectacle of this blatantly illegal land grab, calling it the will of, quote, millions of people.

The country which used nuclear weapons twice in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they have created a precedent.

I want to keep authorities and their real masters in the West to hear me and remember, those people who live in these four regions are becoming our citizens forever.

People have made this choice, and it`s a definitive choice. And this is the only path to peace. We will protect our land using all our forces.

I would say that this is the most weakened, certainly that we have seen President Putin during his tenure.

Believe me, President Putin is facing a lot of pressure, especially from hardliners to get this done.

So now what President Putin can do is when Ukrainian forces hit areas in Donbas or in Zaporizhzhia or Kherson. They can say, you've just hit Russia, and we can now respond in our self-defense with the full force that is available at our…

That Putin is trying to involve thousands and thousands of my fellow citizens in this crime of killing innocent people in Ukraine.

Basically, Putin is fighting now for his survival as a President and as a person, because he is a dead body.

In the event of a threat to the territorial integrity of our country and to defend Russia and our people, we will certainly make use of all weapon systems available to us. This is not a bluff.

This is not a bluff. The citizens of Russia can be sure that the territorial integrity of our homeland, our independence, and freedom will be ensured, and those who try to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the prevailing…

Putin has single-handedly driven Russia back 50 years, he has the blood of 15,000 Russian soldiers on his hands.

Putin must immediately stop the war and resign.

Russian President Vladimir Putin bears full responsibility for the senseless and bloody war against Ukraine.

Everyone was expecting him to launch an escalation or perhaps even mobilize the population, for an all-out war. But, I think, he realizes that really raises the political risks, for him, that then he won't be able to justify the amount of…

U.S. and Western officials believe Vladimir Putin could soon formally declare war on Ukraine.

Our response to counter assaults will be lightning fast. We have all the tools for this.

If someone intends to intervene into the ongoing events in Ukraine from the outside and creates unacceptable strategic threats for us, then they should know that our response to those strikes will be swift, lightning-fast.

If someone intends to interfere in what is going on from the outside, they must know that constitutes an unacceptable strategic threat to Russia. They must know that our response to counter strikes will be lightning fast.

Putin does not live in a world of politics. There is no feedback system for the vast majority of his population.

He believes that he's sent by some higher forces to save Russia and restore Soviet Union.

The idea that Europeans and Russian opponents of the Kremlin are all sexual deviants with the taste for pedophilia is a strange but recurring theme in Russian propaganda.

If those countries do join NATO, he will move nuclear weapons to the Baltic region.

It is about historical roots of our spirituality and statehood. It is about what makes us a nation and a united unified nation.

Vladimir Putin is making a deliberate strategy to target the food supply himself.
