On Thursday, Feb. 29, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin addressed the Federal Assembly - ahead of the presidential election in Russia, the Kremlin leader is especially generous with promises for Russians and certainly did not avoid the topic of the war in Ukraine.
Putin's main theses are published by "Apostrophe".
So, he continues to scare with nuclear weapons not only Ukraine, but also Western countries.
"The Strategic Nuclear Forces of the Russian Federation are in a state of full readiness," he said, adding that rumors about the deployment of nuclear weapons in space are fake news and "demagogy" before the elections.
Putin went on to talk about armaments. In particular, he noted that the "Zirkon" sea-based hypersonic strike complex has already been used in combat and this system is already in service, while the "Sarmat" complex has been delivered to the troops and its work is planned to be demonstrated soon.
In addition, according to Putin, Russia continues to work on new weapons that will soon be heard of.
The Russian dictator continues to promote the institution of family and the birth of children, apparently with the aim of sending them to war as occupants.
"The main purpose of the family is to give birth and raise children, which means the continuation of the entire multinational nation," he said. Putin also spoke about life expectancy in Russia. He noted that now it is 73 years, and by 2030 it should be at least 78 years.
The dictator also said that Russia is ready to dialog with the United States on the issue of strategic stability. At the same time, he also commented on Macron's statement about sending French troops to Ukraine, threatening a missile strike against countries that dare to do so.
"We remember the fate of those who sent their contingents to the territory of our country in previous wars. But now the consequences will be much more tragic. We also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory. If this happens, it really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons," he said.
