🚨🇷🇺PUTIN ON HOW THE WEST CREATES AN ENEMY OUT OF RUSSIA:

"The West has been recreating the same old enemy—Russia, a caricature invented centuries ago. Many Europeans can't understand why Russia is so threatening that they must tighten their belts, sacrifice their own interests, and engage in policies that harm them. Yet, European elites continue to stoke hysteria.

The narrative goes on: the 'war with Russia' is almost at the door. They repeat this nonsense over and over. I watch, and honestly, I wonder—do they actually believe this? How could they believe Russia intends to attack NATO? It's impossible.

So, what does this tell us? Either these people are extremely incompetent, or they are outright dishonest. They don't believe it themselves but are trying to convince their citizens otherwise. There’s really no other explanation.

Honestly, I just want to say: calm down, rest easy, and focus on your own issues."

🇷🇺📑HIGHLIGHTS OF PUTIN’S VALDAI CLUB SPEECH

🟠 The Ukrainian tragedy is a pain for all of us

🟠 The West doesn’t care about Ukrainians, it views them as cannon fodder

🟠 Responsibility for not yet halting the fire in Ukraine lies with Europe. For other countries, the situation in Ukraine is a way to expand their control and make a profit

🟠 Russia’s response to the militarization of Europe will be very convincing

🟠 There is no doubt that Russia's retaliatory measures against the militarization of Europe will not be long in coming

🟠 Russia takes pride in its Armed Forces

🟠 Punitive measures against Russia have failed completely

🟠 Some countries want to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, make the people suffer, but they should calm down

🟠 There is no security for anyone if the security of one country is ensured at the expense of another

🟠 If NATO had not moved closer to Russia’s borders, the conflict in Ukraine could have been avoided

🟠 Multipolarity is a direct consequence of the West’s attempts to maintain its global hegemony
