Putin says Russia will prevail in Ukraine in speech to thousands of cheering supporters in Moscow

Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed what Russia calls its special operation in Ukraine during a rally in a packed stadium on Friday in Moscow, promising the tens of thousands of people in attendance that all the Kremlin's goals would be achieved.

The stage where Putin spoke had slogans "For a world without Nazism" and "For our president", using the "Z" - markings used as markings on Russian military hardware deployed in Ukraine.

Ukraine says it is fighting for its existence and that Putin's claims of genocide are nonsense. The West says claims it wants to rip Russia apart are fiction.

As Putin was talking, state television briefly cut away from his speech and showed earlier pre-recorded footage of patriotic songs. Russia's RIA news agency cited Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying a technical fault on a server was the reason.

I highly doubt Russian state media cut Putin's speech short.

[lisichkaa]

they cut out Putin's phrase for you, he said that there is no more love than if he lays down his soul for his friends...

[eduardosnow]

Why can’t I find the full speech……show me the full speech

[jessicah]

Having to watch multiple videos to catch his entire speech.

[colanifakude]

The man is so patriotic. The people people look so happy around him.

[vitolucci]

Anybody know where I can watch the full video ?

[davidnoname]

My heart goes out to all those lives lost in Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, will never forget.

[jaklinedwards]

I hate how people comment without any knowledge of Europe history or geography, they just believe whatever MSM shows them😂

[abenezerhailu]

The moment I saw Putin drop that Bible verse, I understood clearly why all the Western powers hate him.

[gaiusmarius]

The video of the audiences that was filmed about one year ago is used. Is that correct ?

[molengat]

It was not a glitch. It was a Special Musical Interlude.

[danamustard]

Doesn't look to me like he's too scared to be out in public around a large crowd of people.whereas media has said he's secluded himself.. sure doesn't look too secluded to me.

[PrimumQualia]

there are decades where weeks happen, and there are weeks where decades happen

[KAILASHKUMAR-drku]

I hope one day India also having a leader like putin

[brock]

Doesn’t look like he’s dying of cancer to me.

[harsha]

Even though whole world sanctioned Russian but still lakhs of people supporting government. Patriotism is at Peak

[annabecker]

Suddenly people care about human lives. When it’s African or Asian countries, not a single fck is given. All you hear: “It’s their problem” “you gotta see the story from both sides” “That’s how the world works now”

[salmastropolo]

Where’s the full f**king speech?! I can’t find it anywhere

[ds]
