Such moral degradation has become the basis for the cynical falsification of World War II history," Putin said. And the West seems to have decided to cancel these millennia-long values. We will never give up love for the Motherland, faith and traditional values, ancestral traditions, respect for all peoples and cultures. "But we are a different kind of country, Russia has a different character. It was a forced, timely and the only right decision - the decision of a sovereign, strong, independent country."ĭetails: Putin declared that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States "began to talk about its uniqueness, thereby humiliating not only the world but also its own satellites, who have to pretend that they do not notice anything and humbly swallow it all." The danger grew with each passing day, and Russia gave a pre-emptive rebuff against the aggression. We have seen the development of military infrastructure, the work of hundreds of foreign advisers, and the regular supply of state-of-the-art weapons from NATO countries was ongoing. Thus, an absolutely unacceptable threat for us was created right next to our borders.Īll indications were that a clash with the neo-Nazis, the Banderites, on which the United States and its younger companions banked, would be inevitable. The NATO bloc has begun active military development of the territories adjacent to us. Kiev announced the possible acquisition of nuclear weapons. Open preparations were underway for the next punitive operation in Donbas, for the invasion of our historic lands, including the Crimea. Russia called on the West to have an honest dialogue, to find clever compromising solutions, to take into account each other's interests. Quote: "Last December (2021), we proposed an agreement on security guarantees. The President of the Russian Federation mentioned the unsuccessful blackmail of the Western world by Russia and again named several reasons for the war, without mentioning that Russian troops were amassing near the borders of Ukraine for almost a year before the invasion. Details: Putin mentioned past battles and "Soviet people as one."Īccording to him, Russia "has always advocated the creation of a system of equal and indivisible security" so that the horrors of global war would not repeat.
