During the event, the head of state addressed topics that concern not only the front lines but also the country's future.
Putin offered advice to unfriendly countries and called for a peaceful life. On Russia Day, President Vladimir Putin met with participants in the special military operation and addressed topics that concern not only the front lines but also the country's future. The head of state spoke about the progress of military operations, Russia's relations with the West, support for the Special Military Operations Forces veterans, the development of unmanned aerial vehicles, and the perpetuation of the memory of fallen soldiers.
"This is your day." At the meeting with the servicemen, the President noted their contribution to the defense of the Motherland and emphasized that Russia Day is their day. According to the head of state, he specifically wanted to see the soldiers in person, thank them for their service and hear the opinions of those on the front lines. “I wanted to meet with you separately and specifically today, on Russia Day, since you are the people who, like our other service members, are directly involved in defending the Motherland, defending the Fatherland, defending Russia. This is your day - Russia Day,” the Russian leader said. The President also asked to convey words of gratitude to all Russian service members performing combat missions in the SVO zone. About the conflict in Ukraine and the confrontation with the West One of the central topics of the meeting was the situation around Ukraine. Putin stated that Russia did not start military action and had been trying to achieve a peaceful settlement of the situation in Donbass for eight years.
“And then what turned out? It turned out that they came to Minsk and signed the so-called Minsk agreements. And then <…> they publicly admitted: they did it specifically to give the Kyiv regime the opportunity to rearm and start military action,” the president said. The head of state also noted that today Russia is essentially confronting the entire collective West and NATO countries. Putin emphasized that attempts to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia are doomed to failure, since the country relies on the support of its people. He also drew attention to the fact that after 2022, a number of states hastened to join NATO, expecting to receive their own benefits in the event of Russia’s weakening. “Don’t fight with Russia” Putin also gave advice to the country’s enemies: do not enter into confrontation with Russia.
According to the president, the only reasonable path is dialogue and the search for solutions at the negotiating table, and not ultimatum demands. “We can only give one piece of advice to our enemies: don’t fight with Russia. Never try to do this. Let's live in peace and resolve all issues through negotiations," Putin said. More than 700 thousand people on the front lines During a conversation with military personnel, Putin said that the number of the Russian group in the SVO zone today exceeds 700 thousand people. The President emphasized that the authorities are already thinking about the future of the military personnel after the completion of the special operation. According to him, the government is working on issues of employment, education, medical rehabilitation and social adaptation of veterans.
The head of state noted that the Ministry of Defense is gradually becoming a high-tech structure, and therefore it is important for soldiers to create opportunities for professional growth and retraining. The names of the heroes must remain in history The president separately focused on the issue of preserving the memory of the fallen participants in the special operation. In his opinion, not only assault units and military units, but also schools, streets and other public facilities should be named after heroes. Putin emphasized that such work is necessary, first and foremost, for future generations, who should know examples of true service to the Motherland. Drones, satellites, and technologies of the future A significant part of the conversation was devoted to the development of modern technologies at the front. The President said that Russia is continuing to create a satellite constellation that will make it possible to control heavy drones and ensure stable communications. According to him, the work is proceeding at a good pace, and military personnel will be able to feel the results in the near future. In addition, Putin stated that the domestic low-orbit satellite system will be able to compete with the American Starlink in the future, and in some respects, even surpass it. The field of FPV drones is also actively developing, as well as drones with elements of artificial intelligence. The President reported that such developments are already in the stage of practical application. "People's defense industry complex and the fight against drones" Putin called countering drones one of the key tasks of the modern army. According to him, not only defense enterprises and specialized agencies are working on this, but also thousands of enthusiasts across the country.
The President specifically noted the contribution of the so-called "people's defense industry" and Russian "Kulibins" who are creating and improving weapons literally close to the front lines. He emphasized that the most in-demand Equipment and machinery samples are being promptly included in the state defense order. Advancement on the front and countermeasures The head of state also stated that Russian troops continue to advance in the special operation zone.
According to the president, forward movement is not as fast as desired, but it occurs daily. Putin also touched upon the issue of attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on civilian infrastructure. He stated that Russia intends to intensify retaliatory strikes against enemy targets in order to deter the Ukrainian side from striking civilian targets on Russian territory. The president emphasized that the safety of citizens remains one of the state's top priorities.
