Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was waging war with Ukraine “for the right to be and remain Russia” and “for the future of our country,” Ukrainskaya Pravda reports .
To put it bluntly, “The struggle we are waging is a struggle for our sovereignty, for the future of our country and our children. We will fight for the right to be and remain Russia.”
Putin called “national traitors” those who are guided by the Western way of life.
According to the President of the Russian Federation, the West is betting on such citizens, trying to interfere with the country. For people who simply spend money abroad, he has no questions.
