Vladimir Putin appeared at Branch No 2 of the National Medical Research Centre of High Medical Technologies — Vishnevsky Central Military Clinical Hospital of the Russian Federation Defence Ministry today and took a seat for a chat with Russian military workers who had actually been injured throughout the unique military operation. Can you think of Joe Biden doing this with a group of American military workers? I can’t.
I am publishing this due to the fact that I believe it is very important that individuals, specifically Americans, have the chance to check out Putin’s remarks. If you are questioning how Putin sees the United States, NATO and Ukraine, you require just check out the following. There is no subtlety. Putin is refreshingly honest.
His issue for the well-being of the soldiers encounters as real, genuine. That is not the news. He makes it extremely clear that the Western nations are the opponent, not Ukraine. He likewise promised to step up attacks on Ukrainian military targets and foreign mercenaries. Putin minces no words in keeping in mind that Western hopes of hoodwinking him into settlements for a ceasefire fail. Ain’t going to take place
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Hello, guys! Happy to see you. I want to praise you on the New Year.
How is your treatment here going?
Remark: Excellent.
Vladimir Putin: I walked here, from what I have actually seen the devices looks strong, this is clear of course. Initially and foremost, it needs to be utilized efficiently. I hope, it does.
Remarks: Yes.
Vladimir Putin: You understand, of course, I wished to come here and praise you on the New Year, however there was likewise something I wished to see. You may have seen me on Direct Line, at least a few of it; it is difficult to see it in its whole, 4 hours, it is insane simply for how long it is. There were things that worried the Armed Forces and you straight: for example, individuals asked whether you truly had to return to your systems after your injuries and treatment and even rehab to acquire the matching medical certificates there and even be cleared by military medical commissions. The Defence Ministry rejects this, stating it does not occur, at least, not now. They stated — as I asked for some time earlier — that real estate problems are being dealt with throughout treatment and our service workers go through extra training to be able to continue serving, if they desire, even those who sustained serious injuries, at military enlistment workplaces and so forth.
I wished to speak with you what is actually going on, if this is so, if you require to go elsewhere to acquire the required files and certificates. No? Do you get whatever here? The military medical commission evaluation, all the files — whatever is done here?
Remarks: Yes.
Vladimir Putin: Are real estate concerns being fixed too?
Remarks: Yes.
Remark: Already been dealt with.
Vladimir Putin: Ok, I see. They have actually been dealt with for you and they are being solved for our other fighters. At least, the system for solving real estate problems has been developed and it is working, that is the most essential thing?
And you are likewise getting some extra expert training to enable those ready to continue their service in the Armed Forces however in various positions, health allowing. Is that so? Is that the truth?
Remark: Yes.
Vladimir Putin: Thank you. How is it going?
Remark: Good.
Vladimir Putin: This is among the finest medical organizations of the Defence Ministry. Not all of them are so fully equipped, so glossy, so to speak. Slowly the Ministry will bring whatever up to the requirement, to this level in terms of quality.
Any concerns you wish to ask me, guys? Do not be shy.
Alexander Dublyanin: Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief,
During the unique military operation we are liberating Russian area. How do you feel about Western nations assisting our opponent?
Vladimir Putin: The point is not that they are assisting our opponent. They are our opponent. They are resolving their own issues with their hands. That is what it is everything about. This has actually been the case for centuries, sadly, and continues to be the case today.
Ukraine itself is not our opponent whereas those who wish to damage Russian statehood and to accomplish, as they state, a tactical defeat of Russia on the battleground, are primarily in the West, however still, there are various individuals there. There are individuals who sympathise with us and who are with us at heart. There are the elites who believe the presence of Russia (at least in its present state and size) is inappropriate. They wish to disintegrate it. As a matter of reality, you are youths, some have actually checked out this, possibly: they do not conceal it. They speak and blog about this openly, and have actually been doing it for years, if we are speaking about modern history. For years, they have actually merely been composing honestly about it: divide Russia into 5 parts, one is excessive. I can speak about this till early morning, however it is apparent.
Therefore, they have actually been supporting the Kiev program for rather a long period of time, exactly to develop this dispute. For us, they have actually attained this: they began this dispute and are attempting to accomplish their goal, particularly the job of battling Russia, with the assistance of Ukrainians.
You most likely see on the battleground that they are slowly losing their enthusiasm. When a projectile flies, it is tough to comprehend whether they are losing it or not, however in basic you most likely understand that the circumstance on the battleground is altering. This is regardless of the truth that the whole “civilised” West is combating us.
You, too, have actually most likely heard lot of times: the Ukrainian army uses up 5,000– 6,000155- calibre shells there daily of fight operations, and the United States produces 14,000 monthly. Monthly! And they utilize 5,000 each day. Yes, they are preparing to increase it throughout 2024, however still, they produced 14,000–15,000, they will produce as much as 20,000 If you utilize 5,000 a day, then the supply diminishes rather rapidly. It is close to that now. And we are developing and will continue to, tremendously at that. They were provided with more than 400 tanks (450 or whatever it is), and in a year we will produce and revamp 1,600 This is not a state trick; in truth, there will be most likely more. It resembles this nearly throughout the board. Though it has actually been their objective to deal with Russia from time immemorial, we will deal with them much faster, it appears.
And the crucial thing we have is, of course, what I have actually discussed consistently: the unity of our individuals and society, since there is an understanding of how crucial the task you are doing on the battleground remains in the armed battle for our nation and our future. That is what’s crucial. The point is not that we do not like that they are providing Ukraine, that’s not the core of the issue. The issue is not with Ukraine, however with those who are attempting to ruin Russia utilizing Ukraine. That is the issue. They will stop working: it is merely out of the concern, definitely out of the concern.
I believe that the realisation is beginning to strike them, and the rhetoric is altering: those who were talking simply the other day about the requirement to cause a tactical defeat on Russia are now trying to find the best words on how to rapidly end the dispute. We likewise wish to end the dispute, as rapidly as possible, however just on our terms. We have no desire to battle constantly, however we are not going to deliver our positions either. You combated there, you were injured there; are we going to give up whatever now? The cams are on, otherwise I would make a specific gesture here now; you all understand what sort of gesture it is. It is not going to take place.
So, what else? Yes, please.
Denis Shamalyuk: Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief,
I am Sergeant Shamalyuk. I have a concern. From the very start of the unique operation, our opponents have actually been continuously and routinely shelling the areas near the border, eliminating civilians and kids, ruining towns and cities. I have the following concern for you. Do you believe it is possible and needed to take harder procedures versus the foe so that the idea does not even cross their minds to dedicate these atrocities?
Vladimir Putin: What has occurred in Belgorod is of course a terrorist attack. Why? Due to the fact that of what they have actually done under the cover of 2 rockets — I believe it was Olkha: they fired from multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS). You, as military individuals, understand what MLRS is. This weapon is not selective, it strikes locations. This weapon struck right in the centre of the city, where individuals were strolling before the New Year. It was a targeted strike on the civilian population. Of course, this is a terrorist attack; there is no other method to explain it.
Should we react in kind? Of course, we can strike squares in Kiev or any other city. Denis, there are kids strolling there, moms with strollers. I comprehend, due to the fact that I am rather mad, too, however I wish to ask you: do we require to do this, target the squares?
Denis Shamalyuk: No, I am not stating that it needs to [be] versus the civilian population, however particularly versus military facilities …
Vladimir Putin: That is what we are doing.
Denis Shamalyuk: So that they will not have the ability to come round and respond.
Vladimir Putin: Yes, however that is precisely what we are doing. We strike with high-precision weapons at areas where they make choices, where military workers and mercenaries collect, at other comparable centres, and at military centers, above all. These blows can actually be felt. We will continue to do this. You most likely observed that the really next day after these attacks were performed. I believe they are continuing today, and tomorrow, too.
Do you understand why they are doing it? They wish to frighten us and to develop some unpredictability within our nation. For our part, we will increase the strikes that I have actually pointed out. Of course, not a single criminal offense like that, and this is definitely a criminal activity versus the civilian population, will go unpunished, this is for sure, there can be no doubt.
Denis Shamalyuk: Thank you.
Vladimir Putin: Please.
Ivan Shushakov: May I?
Vladimir Putin: Yes, please.
Ivan Shushakov: Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief,
Major Shushakov.
For 2 years now, our nation has actually been defending its future. Please inform me, how do you evaluate the development of the unique military operation?
Vladimir Putin: I have actually currently stated this, I can duplicate, however you can feel this yourselves. Our Armed Forces are getting more capable and ready to utilize innovative weapons than any other army in the world.
First, we have weapons that are not readily available in any army in the world, and 2nd, we can utilize whatever that is being established and produced. Third, whatever that is being established is being produced and provided rather quick. I understand, there is most likely inadequate on the cutting edge, and they would like more of all the most current things there, such as drones, as well as more ways of reducing opponent drones, which are flying over you like flies. I comprehend whatever, however still, what is being produced appears rapidly enough.
You understand what else is rather crucial? Modern implies of warfare and their efficiency depend upon how rapidly an army can discover what is the crucial thing at this minute and react in regards to producing and presenting that in fight as rapidly as possible.
We are doing this much better and much better, most likely much better than anywhere else. And these are really substantial benefits that our Armed Forces are acquiring. I believe that nobody else might do the very same today. And these abilities of the Russian Armed Forces are continuously increasing, several times over. In basic, you are currently a senior officer, so you understand, we attempt not to provide high marks …
Ivan Shushakov: Exactly.
Vladimir Putin: Satisfactory.
Please.
Alexander Davydov: Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief, may I ask a concern, sir?
We can see that you are extremely hectic. How do you handle to keep such high efficiency?
Vladimir Putin: Meeting you offers me strength. I am not joking. I am being truthful. When I satisfy individuals like you, it provides me additional strength and self-confidence that we are doing the best thing.
Alexander Davydov: Thank you.
Vladimir Putin: This is a extremely essential aspect. In reality, I am not being paradoxical, this is an crucial component, for me, at least.
Please.
Yevgeny Korsun: Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief,
Guards junior sergeant Korsun.
Mr President, initially of all, Happy New Year.
My concern is, what are the outcomes of the previous year and what are the genuine prepare for this year? What should everybody, not simply the Armed Forces and military workers, be gotten ready for?
Vladimir Putin: The nation in basic?
Yevgeny Korsun: Yes. Thank you.
Vladimir Putin: You understand, as far as the outcomes of in 2015 are worried, I discussed this on Direct Line, what can I state. The essential thing is that you keep whatever tight at the front and, furthermore, the useful tactical effort remains in our hands today. Senior leaders have actually discovered to act thoroughly rather of performing battle objectives at any expense. At least that is what they report to me. I constantly firmly insist that whatever should be done and any offending operations performed after the enemy has actually sustained heavy fire. This is what worries the battleground.
Talking about the nation as a entire, of course, the essential thing is not just that we maintained the nation’s economy, we did not enable it to be ruined, which is what the opponent was depending on — this is likewise in action to your concern. It was not Ukraine that wished to damage our economy; it is not efficient in doing it. It has actually currently been entirely ruined itself; there is absolutely nothing left there, it lives completely on handouts. All its leaders circumnavigate with hat in hand, pleading for an additional million dollars.
Our circumstance is totally various. In 2022, our economy contracted by 2.1 percent. Just recently, the Government has actually reported to me — the estimations are continuous, and brand-new information appear — the most current information are that it decreased not 2.1 however 1.2 percent. This is of essence. In 2023 year, the economy grew 3.5 percent. Gdp (GDP), the primary financial indication, is just how much the nation has actually produced. You can utilize cash to determine just how much you produced, plus 3.5 percent. And the decrease was 1.2 percent. We offseted the decrease and progressed. This is an definitely basic matter. This is the very first point, and it is a extremely crucial one.
This reveals that the economy is steady. Inflation has actually increased a little, which implies rates have actually increased, however we are keeping whatever under control. You understand, we have actually never ever seen anything like this. We have actually constantly kept in mind with unhappiness that our primary profits originate from oil and gas. For the very first time in several years, the development of processing markets in our financial structure far goes beyond earnings from oil and gas. I believe that oil and gas profits grew 3 percent, while the processing market has actually yielded lot of times more. This has actually never ever taken place before. This shows that we are going through structural modifications in the economy. It is really essential.
And why is that? When Western business left our market, they obviously anticipated that whatever would collapse over night: companies would shutter and countless individuals would be left without work. And, in the best-case circumstance for the foe in the broad sense of the word: for the challengers of Russia in basic, and not simply on the battleground, individuals will require to the streets and need bread and work.
We have the most affordable joblessness rate in the history of Russia: 2.9 percent, which has actually never ever occurred before. And genuine earnings of the population have actually grown (there is such a thing as genuine non reusable earnings of the population) and genuine incomes have actually grown, and rather substantially. All this recommends that we have a steady economy and steady monetary system.
Russia was detached from the global payment system referred to as SWIFT. Obviously, they hoped that whatever would collapse here too. We provide our conventional export products, however what about the settlements? Whatever works.
Everyone believed that business would stop due to the fact that they stopped providing us with parts, however it ends up that whatever is possible. Yes, there are issues, however they are being attended to.
Small and medium-sized companies are likewise working successfully. Some foreign business have actually left, however our organizations have actually taken their location. There are extremely certified workers who have actually not left; there are excellent production supervisors in a range of sectors both in market and in the services sector, and whatever works. This is the crucial thing: the stability of the nation’s economy and monetary system since this is the structure for whatever.
And, of course, as I have actually currently stated, the variety of weapons produced in Russia has actually increased several times over, consisting of when I discuss the development of commercial production, however not just: one third of the development was accomplished in civilian production branches, which is extremely essential. The stability of the monetary and financial system and the genuine sector of the economy is most likely the most crucial thing.
In addition to this, we are executing all our formerly prepared tasks. In regards to facilities, as you comprehend, this indicates trillions, and we are constructing roadways and opening brand-new paths each week. This is extremely essential, due to the fact that it is not simply to take one trip there and back. A roadway indicates life, and financial life too starts with it: little and medium-sized organizations appear instantly, due to the fact that there was no other method to arrive, and now it is possible. A entirely various image of the world emerges.
Despite the troubles included, real estate concerns are slowly being solved in the nation. Social problems are likewise really essential. Numerous of you have households and kids? And there is maternity capital, which nobody is closing down. The nation continues to fulfill all social dedications in complete. We have actually developed rather a effective and well balanced system of assistance for households with kids (this is extremely crucial for the future of the nation), beginning from the female’s pregnancy up until the kid is 18 years old. This is very important for genuine individuals, and for that reason for the nation as a whole.
So, unusual as it might appear, in spite of the truth that we remain in a state of armed dispute, all the primary indications of the nation’s practicality and efficiency have actually increased. And this is most likely the essential indication of Russia’s scenario.
Yevgeny Korsun: Thank you.
Vladimir Putin: What else? Is that all?
Happy New Year to you. All the finest. Finest dreams. Recover!
