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.

Kiev Independent?
LOL.
The spaaming azzhole is on a role with propaganda this morning
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
But, it pays so well
He’s posting articles on a news forum.
Meanwhile, you don’t show up on threads with posts from conspiracy blogs and state run media propaganda sites and tell them to stop spamming the board with that, do you?
It’s a news article reporting something that actually occurred.
That’s “propaganda.” Meanwhile, propaganda websites that are in some cases literally state sponsored are *not* propaganda.
Well at least he didn’t say “ Everything will be fine. Please go to your shelters.”
Putin is living vicariously through the great Communist victory over the NAZI's.... A victory given to them by the allies providing them with 14,000 aircraft, 13,000 tanks, 400,000 vehicles. The United States also provided more than one-third of the explosives used by the Soviet Union during the war. Putin is living in the past... It's time for Russia to install a ruler with a vision for Democracy and Capitalism, rather than a nostalgic vision of despot and autocratic dictatorships from the past.
Without the allies and their assistance, the Russian's would be Nazi's to this day and Hitler's heir's would be lording over them. As it is... The biggest fan of Stalin is now their overlord.

Is everything fine with the Russian ruble?
I noticed it’s value dropped 13% against the Dollar, in just the last few days.
Is it time to bring in the Priest?
What US State Department check doink, marcus?
He's a one-liner troll, and you haven't figured that out in three freaking years, Wildcat.
Don’t post to me anymore, Yonka Blonka. Your drivel is so old it has long grey whiskers on it. It’s tired, lacking in creativity and so Slavicly boring.
Tell your bosses to give you some new material. You wore this garbage out more than two years ago.
Besides, I’m pretty tired of you gay guys after nearly four years of the Biden-Harris administration. Four years of you people shoving your depravity in our faces has given us Fag Fatigue.
I know you’re sad that the Bidens are leaving, but we’re not. 😁
Don’t post to me anymore.
Your posts are totally devoid of information pertinent to the topic, and consist only of sophomoric insults and slurs, in violation of forum rules, intellectual honesty and common human decency.
Shameful and lacking in any redeeming value.
You can both post to me. I don’t give a shit about this.
