Russian President Vladimir Putin once again demonstrated his country's power at the "Valdai" International Discussion Club meeting. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to him, if anyone wants to confront Russia militarily or politically, Russia will always firmly defend its position. Putin emphasized that if there is a threat to national security, peace, citizens' well-being, or sovereignty, Russia will immediately respond.
He noted the necessity of preventing provocations, as such actions primarily harm the provocateurs themselves. Drawing from history, he stated that weakness cannot be allowed because it leads to wrong decisions.
Russia has always maintained a firm stance in protecting its sovereignty and state independence. Additionally, Putin considered it necessary to respond to the militarization policies of European countries.
He stressed that Russia is not the initiator of military confrontation, and such steps are meaningless and ineffective. These statements reinforced Russia's position in world politics and demonstrated its determination to stand against future threats.
