We talked about direct membership of the USSR and then the Russian Federation with NATO.

In both cases, we understood that they were not waiting for us there.

There won’t be any special military operations if you treat us with respect.

All power is in my hands?

Yes, the President does have power in his hands, and its boundaries are clearly defined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

We are prepared to work with the UK, Europe, and the U.S.

But as equals. With a respectful attitude to each other.

If we were to join our efforts —Russia and European countries— our joint GDP would be higher than the US.

The Europeans are counting on the midterm elections, and they hope that the situation will change in the U.S.

Their traditional allies will come back to power and continue their pressure on President Trump.

In the new strategy of national security of the U.S., Russia is not mentioned as the enemy, and the Secretary General of NATO is preparing for war with us.

What is this? Can you even read?

How are you aiming NATO at a war with Russia when the main founder (the U.S.) of NATO does not believe Russia is the enemy?

An attempt to blockade the Kaliningrad region would escalate the conflict to an unprecedented level, potentially up to a large-scale military conflict.

Everyone has to understand this.

It will become useful again to talk to Vladimir Putin, yes.

Talks must be European-led, transparent, and with Ukraine at the table.

Until then, Europe should continue to finance, to commit, to resist and to help Ukraine.

The deployment of Oreshnik in Belarus is being completed. We understand its location and have shared this information with our partners.

We previously warned that Russia would deploy Oreshnik in Belarus and showed its operational range.

This poses a threat to many European countries, including Poland and Germany.

Satanism and occult services are taking people into darkness, literally and metaphorically.

Oreshnik cannot be shot down with drones today, and it has been used across Ukraine. We know how to counter it.

We asked partners to sanction companies supplying components through third countries — without them, Russia cannot produce Oreshnik.

I have not yet seen those sanctions. Russia will continue production, though its capacity remains limited.

We are ready to consider ensuring the security of elections in Ukraine, including at least refraining from strikes deep inside its territory.
