On December 14, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin conducts the first "direct line" with journalists and the people during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation.

Putin boasted about the Russian economy

Putin was first asked what he would do during another presidential term. The Russian dictator declared that he would work on "strengthening sovereignty."

He stated that over the previous decades, Russia allegedly "strengthened the margin of strength and stability in finance and economy."

The screen broadcasts a question from the Russians: "Why does your reality differ from ours?"

Also, according to Putin, he will strengthen the occupying army and the security system.

The Russian dictator said the Russian economy allegedly has "a large margin of strength accumulated over the past decades."

Next, the dictator took plates from his folder and began discussing GDP growth, industry and investments.

Putin was asked about the end of the war against Ukraine

The Russian dictator was asked when "there will be peace".

According to Putin, there will be peace when all the so-called "SVO" goals are fulfilled.

Then he moved on to the traditional statements about "denazification" and "national hero — Bandera" and mentioned the invitation to the Canadian Parliament during the visit of Zelenskyy, 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka, who turned out to be an SS veteran.

"How can you win a war by sitting on the defensive?"

Another of the goals of the so-called "SVO", continued Putin, is "demilitarization".

Ukraine, the president of the Russian Federation says, "almost no longer produces military equipment," and the Russian troops "successfully destroy" what is provided to it by its allies.

"Everything is brought to Ukrainians for free," but "the freebie ends," he said.

Will there be a new mobilization in the Russian Federation?

Putin said that Russia does not need mobilization.

A "partial mobilization" occurred in the Russian Federation when 300,000 people were drafted.

The boys, 14 heroes of Russia, are fighting wonderfully, not to mention other orders. Currently, 244,000 are in the war zone. There were many good specialists among them, the Russian dictator said.

He added that the occupiers recruited 486,000 volunteers under the contract, and "the flow of our men who are ready to defend the interests of the homeland with weapons in their hands is not decreasing."

"When will the real Russia not differ from the TV one?"

Putin cynically blamed the US and Europe for the war

As usual, Putin began to blame the United States and Europe for the war, saying that the Russian Federation did not spoil relations with them, but on the contrary.

He mentioned the "coup" in Ukraine, declared that Ukrainians and Russians are supposedly one people, and called the war a "tragedy."

Then he began to call the south and east of Ukraine "historically Russian territories". He mentioned that Odesa is allegedly "a Russian city, and everyone knows it well".

According to Putin, the USA and Europe forced the Russian Federation to start a war against Ukraine, and he went on to accuse the USA of "imperial behaviour".

"Who will be president after you?"
