A chaotic world

President Putin stated that Russia is facing a difficult period, as the entire world is undergoing a "fundamental and systemic transformation," noting the outbreak of regional conflicts and the increasing fragmentation of international cooperation. He added that new man-made obstacles are emerging, affecting " economy , technology, science, even culture, sports, and humanitarian cooperation."

The proxy war in Ukraine

According to Putin, Western pressure on Russia has reached "unprecedented" levels. He declared that Western elites are unable to "strategically defeat" Moscow, and that attempts to destabilize Russia from within are proving ineffective.

"Therefore, they continue to support the Kiev regime, which they have chosen as a tool in the struggle against Russia, without any sympathy for the Ukrainian people," he said.

As Ukraine faced setbacks on all fronts, it resorted to “terrorist activities,” carrying out “targeted attacks on civilians and civilian facilities” and openly recruiting people to carry out terrorist attacks in Russia, Putin added. He claimed the West was “turning a blind eye” to Kyiv’s methods.
