Putin made the statement on Friday, but the video has only been released now. The reason was the ceremony of awarding medals to the “Heroes of Russia”.
“Our defense factories are working with increasing skill,” he said during a perhaps tightly coordinated conversation with some attendees. “Our industry is gaining momentum. We are now producing several times more. I know we do not have enough of everything. But Ukraine is running out of weapons. They do not have their own base. If you do not have your own base, you do not have your own ideology, you do not have your own industry, And you don’t have your own money. They don’t have anything of their own. So you don’t have a future. We do.
In another conversation, Putin noted that the invasion would never have happened if he had not begun “to destroy and expel Russians in areas that historically belong to Russia: in Ukraine.” “They said the Russians are not the indigenous people of Ukraine. Are you completely crazy? Or – how can I put it more simply so everyone understands – are you completely impudent?”
According to Putin, the Ukrainian government consists of “idiots” and “neo-Nazis.” “This is an obvious fact. They are ready to do anything, ready to cooperate with anyone, as long as they can destroy Russia.”
“Creator. Award-winning problem solver. Music evangelist. Incurable introvert.”
