Putin: The West has taken the genie out of the bottle

The President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin made statements about the ongoing war with Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said: “The West has taken the genie out of the bottle. The goal of the West is unlimited power. “The West wants to make a regional conflict global,” he said. “The more long-range weapons sent to Ukraine, the greater our reaction will be,” Putin said. He said.

Nearly a year after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion that sparked the biggest conflict with the West since the Cold War, he briefed members of the Russian parliament on the war in Ukraine.

Putin said that the more long-range weapons the West provides to Ukraine, the more Russia will have to remove the threat from its borders, adding: “The more long-range weapons Western countries provide to Ukraine, the more we will have to remove the threat from our borders. It’s natural.” he said.

Putin added that Russia is not fighting against the Ukrainian people, but against the elites of third countries that “serve the interests.” Putin also suggested that Russia did not start the war, but used force to end the conflict.

However, Putin’s address to the Bundestag is one of the main political events in Russia, during which the Russian leader sums up the situation in the country, his achievements, failures and tasks.

Excerpts from Putin’s speech to members of both houses of parliament, military leaders and soldiers:

WEST GIN BOTTLE

West took the genie out of the bottle. The goal of the West is unlimited power. The West wants to make a regional conflict global. The West is fighting us on the economic front, but to no avail. The West has stolen our gold reserves. Their goal is to harm our people.

“HISTORICAL TIME”

“As we all know, I am delivering this speech at a difficult and turning point for our country, when fundamental and irreversible changes are taking place all over the world, major historical events that have determined the future of our country and our people, and each of us bears a huge responsibility.

“WE PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF DONBASS”

Step by step, carefully and consistently, we will solve the upcoming issues. Residents of Donbass have been fighting since 2014 for the right to live on their land and speak their native language. Under the conditions of the blockade and constant shelling, they fought with undisguised hatred for the Kyiv regime and did not give up. They believed and expected that Russia would come to their aid. Meanwhile, we have done our best to resolve the issue peacefully. We patiently tried to find a peaceful way out of this most difficult conflict, but a completely different scenario was being prepared for us.

“UKRAINE – POST OF THE WEST”

I have said many times that the Ukrainian people became a hostage of the Kiev regime and its Western overlords, who actually occupied this country politically, militarily and economically… The current Ukrainian regime basically serves the interests of third countries, not national interests. .

ECONOMIC RESTRUCTURING

We have begun and will continue to create a large-scale program of socio-economic recovery and development of this new subject of the Federation in the region annexed from Ukraine. We are talking about the revival of business and employment in the ports of the Sea of ​​Azov, which has once again become an inland sea of ​​Russia, and the construction of new modern roads, as we did in Crimea.

“EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO WESTERN RUSSIA”

The elites of the West do not hide their goals. That is, they intend to turn a local conflict into a global conflict. This is how we understand everything and will respond accordingly, because in this case we are talking about the existence of our country. But they also fail to understand that it is impossible to defeat Russia on the battlefield. That is why they launch more and more aggressive information attacks against us.
