The Russia-Ukraine war will complete one year on February 24. 3 days before that, on Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the Russian people.
In his address, Putin targeted the Western countries and said – Russia initially made many diplomatic efforts to avoid war, but NATO and America did not allow it to succeed. We still want to negotiate, but the terms are not acceptable to us.
US President Joe Biden has responded to Putin’s speech from Warsaw, the capital of Poland. Biden responded and said in his speech – “America and NATO are and will be with Ukraine. The Russian military crossed the line of atrocities. Women were raped and used as weapons. Putin, remember, he will never conquer Ukraine.
Highlights of Biden’s speech…
The US president said that Putin’s claim that the US wanted to control Russia was wrong. “Yes, I want to tell the people of Russia today that the people of America or Europe do not want to destroy Russia. Putin must remember that he will never conquer Ukraine.”
During the speech, Biden further said, “This year has been very important in every way. The Russian military has done cruel and barbaric things. They have committed crimes against humanity. Despite this, they are not ashamed. What did Putin’s army not do? Heinous crime was used as a weapon.”
“Ukraine’s children’s future was taken away. Bombs hit trains, schools, hospitals and orphanages. How to ignore these things. But the people of Ukraine are also special and I can say with certainty that Russia will never conquer Ukraine.”
Biden said – there is no doubt that America will always stand with Ukraine. Putin should remember that a split in NATO is not possible. We will continue to help Ukraine without stopping and tirelessly.
“On the other hand, the people of Ukraine are ready to die for their homeland. There is only one word for dictators and totalitarianism – no, no and no. No one can take over your country. No one can take away your freedom and your dreams and future. The attack on Ukraine is not only a test of Ukraine. , this is the test of the whole world.”
What did Putin say before?
Russian President Putin addressed the Parliament on Tuesday afternoon. During this he said – “The truth is that this war started because of the Western powers. Even then we tried our best. Those people are fooling Kiev and Ukraine with guns on their shoulders. We know very well how to protect our country.” 6. “America and its allies are using others as pawns in a conspiracy to increase their hegemony.”
“As far as the Donbas region is concerned, we have always said that it should be solved peacefully first, but those who blame Russia should also look at the role of Western leaders. These people constantly cheat and lie. They do not know how to respect Western powers. They try to spit on the whole world. They do it. They use the same method with the people of their country.”
Putin said: “We had to invade Ukraine because of Western activities. For our own security, an invasion of Ukraine was necessary. The people of Donbas asked for help from the Russian government. Just as these forces destroyed Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya and Syria, they want to do the same to Ukraine.”
“It should be kept in mind that Russia will not compromise on its honor. Kiev does not have the power to solve the issue of Donbass. The people there want Russia to come and solve their problems. I never said that only war can solve this problem. There should be talks, but the right way should be followed. Russia has not and will not succumb to pressure tactics.”
“We have no problem talking to the Western powers. We want to have a joint security structure between us. I myself have tried for this for many years, but the US and other Western powers do not want a solution. We have always been ignored. A military base like the US in other countries of the world. “Which country in the world is there? After this, we should think about peace,” Putin said.
Putin has said that the Western world is heading towards a spiritual catastrophe. They are attacking our church and traditions. His religious leader is also supporting ‘same sex marriage’.
Putin made an important announcement in the final minutes of the speech. He said that Russia will not accept the new treaty with the US on nuclear weapons.
What is a New Start Treaty?
On 5 February 2011, the New START Treaty between Russia and the US entered into force. The purpose of the treaty was to limit the number of nuclear weapons in both countries. Both countries have decided they have more than 1,550 nuclear weapons and 700.
