Putin tells Russians at New Year that 'everything will be fine'

President Vladimir Putin told Russians in a New Year address that the country would move forward with confidence in 2025, though he offered no specific promises on the economy or the war in Ukraine.

At a time when many ordinary people are worried about rising prices and the central bank's 21% interest rate is squeezing businesses and homebuyers, Putin reassured Russians that their wellbeing was his top priority.

He framed Russia's challenges as part of a wider historic mission, evoking past victories including its role in the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War Two.

Russia, he said, had overcome trials, achieved major goals and strengthened its unity in the first quarter of the 21st century - a period coinciding exactly with his time as its paramount leader.

"And now, on the threshold of the new year, we are thinking about the future. We are confident that everything will be fine, we will only move forward. We know for sure that the absolute value for us was, is and will be the fate of Russia, the well-being of its citizens," he said.

No worries, they’ll anex 3/4 of Ukraine as a result of the peace deal.

“Maybe you can cut down on this daily crap next year. You’ve had your fun, now run along.”

It’s a funding thing, if the money goes dry, the spamming will end.

Are there any accurate numbers on how many Russians have been killed in their Ukraine incursion? I read recently where Zelensky said only 43,000 killed and another 320,000 wounded. I’m having a hard time buying that. Also read the Russians list 600,000+ but wasn’t sure that number was accurate either.

“Putin tells Russians at New Year that ‘everything will be fine’”

Were his lips moving?

My hope for 2025 is for more dead Russians, Chechens and North Koreans.

Putin with four 9mm slugs in his chest would be good too.

“close to 600,000 Russian soldiers lay wounded or dead” in the war with Ukraine. In the same post, Trump estimated Ukraine’s losses at “400,000 soldiers.”

Any thing Marcy says cant be taken seriously as he is a U.S. Govt
“Paid” YouCrayne influencer.
These Ukie paid influencers don’t waste time on RAT social media or
Websites as all Democrats are YouCrayne Flag Wavers.
The spend their time on Conservative Social Media and Websites
like Free Republic.

Reminds me of my ex girlfriend when she said “It’s fine.”

Didn’t hear from her for 3 years after that.
