And all regions of Russia are providing direct support to cities and towns of Donetsk and Lugansk and other regions, and theyre doing it as real brothers and sisters. Russian business has restricted its logistics and has established connections with predictable partners and there are many of those in the world, majority of them in the world. Russia cannot feel safe and develop, exist without the constant threat emanating from the territory of the modern Ukraine. They spent $150 billion to support militarily Kyiv regime.

Again, I would like to express my gratitude for such patriotic stance. They must think were stupid. Yesterday that information was published and I remember they were saying that our economy will drop 20, 25% and I was saying 2.9 and then later we were saying GDP reduced by 2.2%. 1. It is for this, for our ancestors, for the future of our children and grandchildren in order to restore historic justice. And theyve got very marked signs on their tanks. And the neo-Nazis are not even hiding who they inherited their history from. It was just the sale of resources of oil and gas and timber and so on, and money was not invested into long-term projects, and in order to break this negative tendency, we see this. And its a shame to even say that one of the units of the Ukrainian Army was given a name, Edelweiss. However, you can also upload your own templates or start from scratch with empty templates.

This was the latest They were just dragging time and they were trying to close their eyes to the political killings and repressions of the Kyiv regime and abuse of religion and terrorist acts in Donbas. This almost happened. Here are seven key points and accusations from the speech. Most states refuse to snap a salute and instead choose the sensible path of cooperation with Russia. They made the choice to be with their people, to be with their Motherland, to share in its destiny, and to be victorious together with it. (35:08) Everyone knows about this. We have various approaches to resolving social issues. Theyre trying to pretend this did not happen, but nobody forgot that. And we will do this.

The most accurate AI-powered transcription on the market. Its goal is to protect people who have been abused by the genocide of the Kyiv regime for eight years. It sounds like nonsense. Taking into account the experience that we received, we have to achieve that level of supply for all other areas of army and navy. (01:42:19) A very significant role in our civil society is played by local government. This is very important for healthcare system as well. And Id like to emphasize the further steps on strengthening our navy and army. Thank you. Let me repeat that the dictatorship of the Western elites targets all societies, including the citizens of Western countries themselves. They cannot rest easy knowing that there is such a great country with this huge territory in the world, with its natural wealth, resources and people who cannot and will not do someone elses bidding. Our ancestors passed it to us and we have to preserve it and pass it on, and we will continue developing our relationships with our friends and we will accept all the good things. Step-by-step we will continue to resolve the objectives that before us. This is a great tool. (14:36) We know that demographic situation directly depends on the state of the economy for our families, and we also need to take care of aspects of culture and support and housing, and all of these areas will be supported. (01:01:25) (01:16:44) The responsibility for starting the conflict, for growing number of victims lies totally with the West and with Kyiv regime for whom Ukrainian people are not their own, effectively. They had only one goal, as with the nuclear bombing of Japanese cities: to intimidate our country and the rest of the world. We will protect our children from degradation. (59:52) Whats also important is that the economic drop was only registered in the second quarter. Using the resource of the president grants and other programs that we have available, we will continue supporting our education and art, different areas of art, modern and traditional, classic. You made your choice despite the threats of terror the Nazis, even though next to you there were military actions taking place and you made the choice to be together with Russia, to be together with your motherland. We talked about the need for structural changes in our economy over the last few years. There is only one way to stop this madness!. Third, is an important point on the agenda, is the new sources of financing and investment. Our proposed to double this figure when we talk about investing in private pension funds to the tune of 2.8 million rubles. There are new centers of influence and they keep developing, and this is a natural objective process that cannot be ignored. We have started and we will continue to grow. Theyre trying to fight Russia. Please join me in a minute of silence to honour their memory. They are attempting terrorist attacks that are aimed at destabilizing our society. The second is that we are going to focus on development of our technological potential of our economy. Of course, the state has to control whats going on in this area. None of the simple citizens of the country was sorry about those who lost massive bank accounts in the west, nobody was sorry about those who lost palaces and yachts in the west.

Id like to emphasize that creation of this special fund does not alleviate other structures of their responsibility. I am afraid they would rather use other formulas they are more comfortable with. The people have made their unequivocal choice. Sign up here. They have dropped their masks and shown what they are really made of. (48:49) I would like to emphasize that it was before the special military operation they were negotiating the supply of heavy military equipment and planes and anti-aircraft defense systems. And of course the situation has changed since 1945. And thanks to joint work of our government, of the Bank of Russia, of the subjects of the Russian Federation of Working People, we were able to ensure stability of economic situation. and Id like to reiterate that these are not just forecasts. There is no We are not pretending to be special, but this is our civilization. And we will react in an appropriate way. Id like to emphasize that this reaction of our audience addressed to the citizens of Donetsk and Lugansk and Zaporozhye regions. So this statement that Russia is halting, putting a stop on its participation in the strategic weapons control agreement. And third, we will create a doctorate departments. We need to be proud that we are a multicultural nation and majority of our people have a principle position in relation to the special military operation. And they have to become people in demand, both in the military and in the civil sector. This is how we understand this. We remember the soldiers of Donbass, the martyrs of the Odessa Khatyn, the victims of inhuman terrorist attacks carried out by the Kiev regime. Theyre serving interests of foreign powers. We need to look at all elements. And the theft, I cant name it any other way, theft of our currency reserves and also attacks on our infrastructure. Our domestic market, our personnel potential, our people, all of that allows us to really uncover a great potential of Russian ill areas. Im expecting from all municipalities, all bodies to continue providing help to all the veterans. And in terms of international payments, the volume of payments has increased. We all understand very well that the needs of the special military operation are connected to great burden, psychological, physiological, financial. And Im asking the government, together with the regions, to prepare a list of those facilities where harmful discharges will be liquidated at the end of this program. And in December 2021, we officially directed to the U.S. and to Europe our request for guarantees for security. Thank you for this support. Offices and sergeants who demonstrates on themselves to be decisive and clever and brave, they should be forwarded to the military academies and they should become a very powerful training reserve. Where are they taking it under the guise of ensuring the food security of the poorest countries? I want to underscore again that their insatiability and determination to preserve their unfettered dominance are the real causes of the hybrid war that the collective West is waging against Russia. Indeed, everything possible in order to resolve this problem in a peaceful way. But there were also specific actions, expansion of NATO to our borders, creation of new anti-rocket defense systems in Europe, and developing military contingents on the borders of Russia. Behind these words stands a glorious spiritual choice, which, for more than a thousand years of Russian statehood, was followed by many generations of our ancestors. Let us vow to stop where we are and return to friendship and mutual cooperation. Western elites are even shifting repentance for their own historical crimes on everyone else, demanding that the citizens of their countries and other peoples confess to things they have nothing to do with at all, for example, the period of colonial conquests. There are cardinal major changes in the world. With this, the flow of money to finance the war is not stopping. In 1991, the West thought that Russia would never rise after such shocks and would fall to pieces on its own. We need to actively use these instruments so that family budget has got more disposable income and so that families can focus on essential challenges. And theyre creating that image of enemy within their own countries in order to divert attention from corruption scandals within their own countries. We have a different future of our own. If this does not happen, I cannot rule out that they will try to trigger a collapse of the entire system, and blame everything on that, or, God forbid, decide to use the old formula of economic growth through war. The West clearly did not expect such insubordination. And we need to stimulate small family run businesses. President ofRussia Vladimir Putin: Fellow Russian citizens. And we always, were very tolerant about this in Russian. To compare this, to put this into perspective, in 2021, 2022, big seven countries provided to the poorest countries only 60 billion aid. Its the news, without the news. Much is being done to create a Washington-Seoul-Tokyo military-political chain. They were fighting and not giving up in the conditions of a blockade and constant shelling. Also, I would like to propose the tax deduction for costs in relation to childrens education from 50 to 150 rubles and medical costs to 130,000 rubles. Id like to reiterate that we adopted the same approach for Crimea and Sevastopol. (01:40:45) Starting from 2014, Donbas has been fighting to defend its right to live on its territory and speak its own language. Its futile. But one thing is very clear to everyone. God bless, it is up to them. Yes, everyone has a choice. The money that is obtained here has to be spent on development of this country. Id like to thank our offices of Navy and Army and all the forces, to the fighters of Donbas and Lugansk region, to volunteers who are fighting in different areas, and BARS as well. Is that what we want for our country and our children? Companies and entrepreneurs are helping. I will not be able to name all of them. In the third and fourth quarter, we saw a growth. There is nothing stronger than their determination to return to their true historical homeland. They want to use everyone, terrorist, Nazis, even devil himself, to use it as weapon against Russia. We have scientific teams, engineering teams, and we have more and more of younger people, qualified people in these teams and we have very long traditions of weapon production and weapon manufacturing. And Id like to remind you that in February, March, they were forecasting total collapse.
