“All means of destruction, including nuclear ones, will be used in case of a threat to the territorial integrity of Russia, this is not a bluff. The peaceful solution did not suit the West. After reaching certain compromises, Kyiv was actually given a direct order to disrupt all agreements.” - Putin

“The government of the Russian Federation must immediately solve the problems of financial support for the defense industry in order to increase the production of weapons,” - Putin

“The legal status of volunteers and militiamen of Donbass should be the same as that of regular Russian military personnel” - Putin

"Issues of supply and maintenance of the People's Militia and volunteer units of Donbass must be resolved immediately and provided at the highest level." - Putin
