Russian President Vladimir Putin has described his country’s military operation in Ukraine as a preventative measure against prospective invasion, assuring his troops in Ukraine that they are fighting for Russia’s security.
“Russian people will never give up love for country, traditional values “— Putin said at a Victory Day parade on Moscow’s Red Square on Monday.
“This moral degradation paved the way for cynical falsifications of the history of World War II, attempts to incite Russophobia, glorify traitors, mock the memory of their victims and wipe out the bravery of those who fought and suffered for the Victory,” the head of state stressed.
Putin pointed out that the United States, particularly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, “started talking about its exceptionalism, which is humiliating not only for the entire world but also for its satellites who have to pretend that they don’t notice anything and obediently accept it all,” the Russian president emphasized.
Russia was calling on the West for an honest dialogue but all in vain because NATO countries did not want to hear it, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
“Russia has always called for creating a system of equal and indivisible security, a system that is vitally needed for the entire international community,” the Russian leader stressed.
“In December last year, we proposed concluding an agreement on security guarantees and Russia called on the West for an honest dialogue, for a search for reasonable compromise solutions and respect for the interests of each other. All in vain! NATO countries did not want to hear us,” Putin said.
This stance maintained by Western countries meant that “they actually had quite different plans,” the Russian leader stressed. “And we saw that,” he said.
