The country can only be strengthened by self-purification, which is essential for the unity and co-operation of the country. Such challenges therefore need to be taken up. Destroying Russia is the goal of Western nations. Putin warned in a speech to the nation.
Putin’s statement came after an anti-war card appeared on a Russian channel. At the same time, there are growing protests within Russia against the Ukrainian war. Those who do so are charged with treason.
