Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday told graduates of military colleges in the Kremlin that Russia plans to keep developing its nuclear trifecta because this is a “guarantee of strategic deterrence and balance of powers in the world.”
Putin also told them during the meeting that Russia is ready to discuss issues of equal and indivisible security in Eurasia with all sides, including the European Union (EU) and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) “naturally, when they are ready for that.”
In addition, the Russian President stated that Russia will continue to “improve its armed forces, build its defense policy, rely on advanced technologies and science, efficient economic and financial decisions.”
He also pledged that his country will make it a priority to ramp up shipments of drones, anti-artillery systems and other equipment to the special military operation area.
These decisions will be made with consideration of modern military trends, “based on the colossal combat experience, obtained during the special military operation.”
On the role of law enforcement agencies in the war in Ukraine, Putin stated that law enforcement agencies must assist in the special military operation, in ensuring peaceful life in Donbass and Novorossiya, “in investigation of crimes of the neo-Nazis and punishers who must be brought to responsibility for their atrocities.”
