In a sharp condemnation of Ukraine's government, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine is the result of the "bloody unconstitutional coup" that took place in 2014. Putin asserted that Moscow's struggle is not with the Ukrainian people but with the illegitimate regime that seized power through force. He further criticized Ukraine's recent policies, accusing the government of sending young men and now potentially even younger boys to fight, likening it to the brutal treatment of civilians caught in the streets. Putin's comments reflect escalating tensions as Russia continues its military campaign in Ukraine, framing the conflict as a fight against an unlawful authority rather than against the Ukrainian population itself.

00:00And when I mentioned the crimes committed by the Kiev regime, I didn't only mean crimes
00:17against the Ukrainian people, but also crimes against our people, including in the Kursk
00:22region and other border regions.
00:25Well, of course, if you talk to military experts, both Russian and foreign, they call it a reckless
00:35adventure that didn't have any practical sense.
00:42That incursion in the bordering regions of Russia didn't bring any results.
00:49But of course, it is one of the crimes they've committed against the people, against the
00:56civilian people of those regions.
01:01And of course, it is the holy duty of the armed forces to squeeze the enemy out from
01:06our territory.
01:08And the military justice bodies must record all the crimes committed against the civilian
01:14population.
01:15Our priorities include maintaining the stability, strategic security, protecting territorial
01:23integrity and sovereignty of our country through the development of our strategic nuclear forces.
01:34And we will continue this work, creating new systems.
01:39The share of state-of-the-art military equipment in nuclear forces is now 95 percent.
01:48And the basic principles governing the use of such weapons have been updated, as outlined
01:55in the updated state nuclear deterrence policy.
02:00And once again, so that no one accuses us of nuclear saber-rattling, it is a deterrence
02:08policy.
02:10The Oreshnik Intermediate-Range Strike Complex has been a well-noted innovation.
02:18We have used it as a response to the Western long-range weapons being deployed in Ukraine.
02:28It was used in a non-nuclear form.
02:32And we must ensure this mass production of these complexes to protect ourselves and
02:37our allies.
02:38They are working on the deployment and redeployment of missile systems in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
02:47And we used to have a treaty which regulated these activities.
02:53But it has now no longer in force.
02:57Due to the actions of the United States, we have underscored many times that we will
03:03not deploy intermediate-range missiles until the United States deploy similar weapons in
03:10a region of the world.
03:13That was essentially a unilateral obligation undertaken by Russia.
03:18But if the United States start deploying such weapons, then any and all such voluntary restrictions
03:25will be lifted.
03:28And considering the situation, we have to take additional measures to ensure our safety
03:33and the safety of our allies.
