When you led Russia more than 26 years ago, many in Ukraine had a positive attitude towards you. That was the case. That is already in the past.

Whatever you say about NATO, geopolitics, and the Russian language, this war is your personal choice – a war without a real reason. That is how history will remember it.

This time could have gone completely differently. We often hear that war suits you. Of course, not when it comes to the security of your residence in Valdai or a parade in Moscow. Your own life is valuable to you.

You didn't expect full-scale resistance from Ukraine and didn't predict that things would go this far. But here we are, in the fifth year of a full-scale clash.

Don't be afraid to get out of the war — this is the main thing that is needed from you now.

Ukraine retains its independence. And will retain it. Despite any other predictions.

Don't be afraid to get out of the war — that is the main thing needed from you now.

How important is it that you regularly, every few months, postpone the deadlines for the capture of our regions, primarily the Donetsk region. You will not capture it this year either.

But we in Ukraine do not want permanent war. We know very well that it is immeasurably better without war. We want to achieve this.

You won't have enough money and political power to continue buying the loyalty of Russians as you have done for 26 years. We will do everything to make the world know about this.

As you yourself say — "everything must be counted."

Ukraine is ready to cease fire completely — for the time when negotiations will continue. You know that the United States can provide monitoring of the ceasefire along the stop line.

We have seen intelligence documents showing that you are currently reviewing war plans for 2027 and 2028 as well.

You want to drag Belarus even further into the war, and we are now forced to prepare for that too.

We need to determine what the future will be for all future generations of Ukrainians and Russians.

If you personally do not come to the idea in your thoughts that it is time to end this war, Ukraine will continue to fight for its existence. We will have those who will support us.

But you will also have to fight much harder for your existence – not Russia’s, but your own. And this is not a threat from me or Ukraine. These are facts of Russian history that you know well: when Russia gets tired, changes happen.

You can stop your war.

Eternal memory to all whose lives were taken by this war.

President Trump’s historic 1.5 trillion dollar investment will safeguard taxpayer dollars, supercharge our ECONOMY and reignite American manufacturing — putting America, and American workers, FIRST.

Sailors described the fire as significantly more serious than initially indicated by the U.S. Navy, with footage showing heavily damaged berthing areas, destroyed bunks, charred structures, and extensive smoke and fire damage.

The carrier’s fire-control system failed to function as intended, forcing crew members to manually battle the blaze.

The fire took around 30 hours to fully extinguish and affected accommodations for roughly 600 sailors. Although the Navy stated at the time that the ship remained operational, officials acknowledged that flight operations were temporarily disrupted, with the carrier requiring repairs during a port call in Greece.

The Navy said the investigation into the incident remains ongoing. The Navy also maintains that the cause of the fire was not combat-related.

Officials expect an extended maintenance period, with some estimates suggesting it could be at least a year before the ship is ready for another major deployment.

Russia's partnership with India has been building since 1947, when the USSR recognized the state.

India is one of the leading economies in the world that shows the highest economic growth.

This is the result of hard work.

We can control the Donbas region, and we can strike a deal.

One thing does not contradict another. Why would you think that it does?

Every month Ukraine loses 10,000 people, and approximately 20,000 desert every month.

They draft in a compulsory manner. No one wants to fight in Ukraine.

We have full control of the Luhansk People's Republic. We have also acquired control of about 85% of the Donetsk People's Republic.

80% percent of the Zaporizhzhia region is under our control, and this process is progressing.

In Russia, there is an air defense system that needs to be strengthened, but Ukraine doesn't have such a system at all.

We have the patriotism and will of the Russian people

The Russian people are willing to do everything for victory.

That is the main prerequisite for achieving all the goals of the Special Military Operation.

We are ready and willing to reach an agreement with Ukraine by peaceful means.

Russia is ready to make compromises, but the Ukrainian side must also be ready for these compromises.

The Oreshnik has not yet been used in a combat role against Ukraine.

The last strike was carried out at a location where the results could be easily observed.

Mediation implies neutrality, and Europe is not neutral in the Ukrainian conflict.

Who, apart from Gerhard Schröder, could possibly act as a mediator?

Schröder is a man who can be trusted.

Only God knows whether I — and you and all gathered here — will have the health to live until tomorrow.

I may get re-elected until 2036, but it is too premature to talk about that, to be perfectly honest.

Thank God it's all over. That's what one would say.

Why? Why should Russia do that?

What's the point for us? What is the reason to attack Europe for Russia and wage war against NATO?

This is nonsense. This is a deliberate provocation.

Two years. Exactly to the day — May 20, 2024. The mandate of Mr. Zelensky expired. His presidential mandate expired.

The beginning of this year, people started talking about the elections in Ukraine. We don't hear any news about it now. Will they hold elections or not?

We should ask these questions because this is important. No one is talking about it.

He is a Jew. You remember, his grandfather was fighting against Nazis.

I think he is turning in his grave now.

We will maintain good relations with Armenia whatever the decision they take.

Unfortunately, during the recent war, there is much evidence that the U.S. and the Zionist regime have used the airspace and territory of the UAE against us.

We have documents and evidence showing that the UAE has personally participated in some military operations against Iran.

The main reason for the current deterioration of relations with the UAE is the presence of the Israeli factor and the close political, commercial, and economic ties of this country with Tel Aviv.

If the UAE had pursued a different policy like other Persian Gulf countries, we could now have much better relations with this country.
