π·πΊ Statements by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a gala evening in honor of the victory in the Battle of Stalingrad
Main points:
Putin: The ideology of Nazism in its modern guise poses a direct threat to the security of Russia, which must once again fight back against the aggression of the collective West.
Putin: The fact that Russia is being threatened again with German Leopard tanks with crosses on them is incredible.
Putin:
- The enemy will once again go to war with Russia on Ukrainian soil with the hands of "Hitler's descendants," the Bandera supporters.
- Despite the efforts of sell-out official Western propaganda, Russia still has many friends around the world, including in the Americas.
Putin: Those who are dragging Germany into a new conflict and expect to win on the battlefield do not understand that modern warfare with Russia will be different. Russia will not be able to respond to threats with armored vehicles alone, everyone should understand this.
Putin: Stalingrad has become an eternal symbol of the indestructibility of the common people. The steadfastness of the city's defenders is a crucial moral reference point for the Russian army and people.
