Russia's Putin delivers major speech on war with Ukraine

President Vladimir Putin is delivering a major speech to Russia’s elite, assessing the invasion he ordered a year ago.
His address comes after several high-stakes diplomatic moves, including US President Joe Biden’s unannounced visit to Kyiv.
Biden is now in Poland, where he is set to consult with allies from NATO’s eastern flank.
The UN says more than 7,000 people have died in Ukraine; the true toll is feared to be much higher.

Those who breed war will be cursed, those who breed peace will be blessed.

[ring-tone]

The war is not for "Freedom and Democracy", but for resources deep in Russia that others have their eyes on. Covet. Russia is lucky to have the capacity to defend itself, her resources and her people.

I’d rather hear Putin than commentators.

"They spent 150 billion dollars to support millitary action in ukraine but only 60 million for poorer countries to fight poverty"---Vladimir Putin
Glory to Z

i'd rather read professionally translated text of this speech instead of listening to this interpreter with lots of gaps and misunderstood phrases. such level requires professional and skillful approach

[kwame]

We want to hear all of his speech. Smh

Key points from Putin's speech (Google translation):
1) Russia suspends its participation in the strategic offensive arms treaty.
2) If the US starts testing its nuclear weapons, then Russia will ensure its readiness to test its weapons.
3) Many thanks to all participants of the Special Military Operation. Thanks to families, teachers, doctors.
4) The more long-range systems the West supplies, the further Russia will be forced to move the front line away from Russia's borders.
5) Thanks to the sanctions of the West, many places have been vacated for Russian companies, these places should be occupied by Russian companies.
6) More benefits for the IT sector, including free housing for programmers.
7) Support from the state of Russia for families with children. Traditional values where mom and dad are.
8) Western politicians are trying to rewrite history, but we know the truth.

He is a man of his word, he gave many many chances 🇬🇧🇷🇺 idgaf I stand with putin

[Phillip]

He didn’t underestimate the Ukrainian military. The Ukrainian military wouldn’t have lasted more than 2 weeks without western help. And if the west stopped helping today, Ukraine’s military would be destroyed in days. It’s actually pretty impressive that Russia is fighting against the entire West

[Jermilia]

I hear a lot of crying from ruSSia.. aww the USA won't let ruSSia beat up a small country..

[jjatoff]

Same old lies and non factual rubbish.

[mapemanelson]

Yes it’s immoral to spend loads of money fighting and hardly any, eradicating poverty. Putin is right on this.

[davidwoodayan]

Putin really makes sense in his speech. I begin to understand more than I wouldn’t. Those points he made was pretty clear .

[dennissorensen]

Okay so you interrupt the speech half way to comment upon it and tell us the overview, before we have even heard it all? 😅 Why couldn't we just hear the man's words in their entirety first?

[moskito]

WHY are there so called JOURNALISTS EXPLAINING to us what Putin said instead of letting him

[treomobiel]

Mr Putin is on the right side of history.. (From The Netherlands. with love).

[SugarBlood]

Is there any better translation of this speech. I heard him mentions something about partisans in Yugoslavia but she didnt translate anything.

[westharbourcity]

What a guest you have brought. Well paid as usual.

[ntsakomculu]

He has a point regarding the military spending from EU and USA.
