The head of state also answered questions about the possibility of a mutually acceptable peaceful solution to the conflict in the Middle East, a new world order and outdated Western approaches that ignore the interests of the Russian Federation.

TASS collected the main points of the President of the Russian Federation.

The situation in Ukraine

• Russia doesn't achieve it surrender on the part of Ukraine: "We insist on recognition of the realities that have developed on earth.". Thus, the Russian army "attacks in all directions along the entire line of combat contact every day," creates a security zone, to which the enemy is forced to divert its forces, "which are already lacking in fundamental areas of armed struggle.".
• The Ukrainian side is in the Kursk region lost it 76 thousand people, "this is a disaster for them.". The purpose of the attack on the Kursk regions was "of a political nature - to show that they can get something, something else from their sponsors from abroad.".
• Security Depth in the Sumy Region is from 10 to 12 km. "You know, we have < ... > not a saying, not a parable, but an old rule - where the foot of a Russian soldier steps, then ours."
• The situation in Ukraine is tragedy, which is the fault of the West: "This is the result of the work of those who do not want to put up with the global changes taking place in the world." The former US administration explicitly stated that it spent billions of dollars on "turnover [in Ukraine]."
• West tried act from a position of strength in the situation around Ukraine. Russia at each stage proposed to Kiev to stop hostilities and negotiate.
• Russians and Ukrainians are one people: "In this sense, the whole of Ukraine is our". At the same time, Moscow never exposed the right of Ukraine to build an independent and neutral state: "The grounds on which Ukraine became independent and sovereign were set forth in the declaration of independence of Ukraine of 1991, where it is clear, in black and white, that Ukraine is an off-block, non-nuclear, neutral state. "

About the threats of using the "dirty bomb"

• Confirmation of Kiev’s intentions to use a “dirty bomb” nobut such plans may appear "in a sick imagination."
• In the nuclear doctrine of Russia spelled outthat "we always respond to all the threats that create for us, mirror": "Therefore, our answer will be very tough and, most likely, catastrophic for the neo-Nazi regime, and, unfortunately, for Ukraine itself. Hope this never comes to that. "

Middle East Conflict Resolution Opportunities

• I would like the threats from Israel against the spiritual leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, "remain at the level of rhetoric".
• The Russian Federation does not seek mediation in the Middle East, but offers ideas: "And if they seem attractive to both countries, we will only be happy about this."
• In resolving the conflict between Israel and Iran "can find acceptable solutions, in my opinion, for both one and the other country ":" Both the countries of the global South, and even more so the countries of the region, can certainly positively influence this process, the search for this solution. In my opinion, such a solution exists. "
• In this matter, “it’s better not to get ahead of yourself so as not to harm” the settlement process, but “points of the possible contact there is".
• Russia continues work at the Busher nuclear power plant in Iran and received from the leaders of Israel and the United States, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump, assurances about the safety of our employees: "We, despite the complexity of the situation, despite a certain danger, continue this work. We do not evacuate our staff from there. "

A new world order like "sunrise"

• New world order arises "Naturally, it's like sunrise": "This is not to go anywhere!" Russia and China do not form a new world order, "we only draw it up" and, perhaps, "clear the way for this process so that it is more balanced and meets the interests of the vast majority of countries."
• Russia's decision to develop relations with the global South was accepted a long time ago, "bearing in mind global development trends," which are objective in nature.
• Western countries they are losing ground in the world economy, if they "want to maintain their monopoly position at all costs, if they want to preserve the instruments of colonial influence in the world, then they will have to, acting with these instruments, be content exclusively with the situation into which they are gradually sliding.". Nevertheless, Russia is ready to "negotiate everything with them.".
• Russia promised never expand NATO east: "After that, we had five waves of expansion, one might say, already six." The security of one country "cannot be ensured by the security of another."
• Ignoring NATO’s interests of Russia is "then, of course, the rudiments of the old, if not ancient, neocolonial policies, to a certain extent modernized modern realities."

I don't think it's a good idea to limit news about the Ukraine and the Middle East to Ukrainian state media and the MSM, so I posted from Russia's state media.

“ Security Depth in the Sumy Region is from 10 to 12 km. “You know, we have < ... > not a saying, not a parable, but an old rule - where the foot of a Russian soldier steps, then ours.”

Took them 50 years to give up Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe.

He cried that day because his life was a failure and the scourge of the world collapsed.

One of the happier days of my life.

So Putin wants a New World order

[ransomnote]

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Putin: The Russian Federation is not seeking surrender of Kiev, but recognition of realities on earth, ransomnote wrote:

The translation software at TASS was pretty rough. Some ledes just didn't make sense. I tried running the Russian version of the article through the Google Translator.

Google translates the TASS phrase "с учетом сложившихся реалий." as "taking into account the current realities." I used Google to translate 'earth' into Russian: "земля". I then searched the TASS article for that word and it wasn't there. I'll put the full Google translation of this article below because it seems to read more accurately.

Here's a key quote from both articles wherein Putin is saying that the world order has changed and he is pointing to it (formalizing it), and it's not a creation of Russia and China. (Personally, I think he is saying the Globalists have failed to bring about the New World Order they attempted.

"Russia and China are not forming a new world order, "we are only formalizing it" and, perhaps, "clearing the way for this process so that it is more balanced and meets the interests of the overwhelming majority of countries." ~Putin

Full Google translation of the OP source.

Russia considers all of Ukraine its own, but does not reject its right to independence, offering Kyiv to stop the conflict taking into account the current realities. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the plenary session of the SPIEF.

The head of state also answered questions about the possibility of a mutually acceptable peaceful solution to the conflict in the Middle East, the new world order and the outdated approaches of the West, which ignores the interests of the Russian Federation.

TASS has collected the main theses of the Russian President.

The situation in Ukraine
Russia is not seeking capitulation from Ukraine: "We insist on recognition of the realities that have developed on the ground." Thus, the Russian army "is advancing in all directions along the entire line of combat contact every day," creating a security zone, for which the enemy is forced to divert its forces, "which are already in short supply in the key areas of the armed struggle."
In the Kursk region, the Ukrainian side lost 76 thousand people, "this is a catastrophe for them." The goal of the attack on the Kursk region was "political in nature - to show that they can get something else from their sponsors from abroad." The depth of the security zone in the Sumy region is from 10 to 12 km. "You know, we have <...> not a proverb, not a parable, but an old rule - where the foot of a Russian soldier steps, that is ours." The situation in Ukraine is a tragedy that is happening due to the fault of the West: "This is the result of the work of those who do not want to put up with the global changes happening in the world." The previous US administration openly stated that it spent billions of dollars on the "coup [in Ukraine]." The West tried to act from a position of strength in the situation around Ukraine. Russia, on the other hand, at every stage offered Kyiv to stop the fighting and negotiate. Russians and Ukrainians are one people: "In this sense, all of Ukraine is ours." At the same time, Moscow has never compromised Ukraine's right to build an independent and neutral state: "The grounds on which Ukraine became independent and sovereign were set out in the 1991 Declaration of Independence of Ukraine, where it is clearly written in black and white that Ukraine is a non-aligned, non-nuclear, neutral state."
On threats of using a "dirty bomb"
There is no confirmation of Kyiv's intentions to use a "dirty bomb", but such plans may appear "in a sick imagination."
Russia's nuclear doctrine states that "we always respond to all threats that are created for us in kind": "Therefore, our response will be very harsh and, most likely, catastrophic for both the neo-Nazi regime and, unfortunately, for Ukraine itself. I hope that it will never come to that."
Possibilities for resolving the conflict in the Middle East
I would like for the threats from Israel against the spiritual leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to "remain at the level of rhetoric."
The Russian Federation does not seek mediation in the Middle East, but offers ideas: "And if they seem attractive to both countries, we will be only too happy about this."
In the settlement of the conflict between Israel and Iran, "acceptable solutions can be found, in my opinion, for both countries": "Both the countries of the global South, and especially the countries of the region, can certainly have a positive impact on this process, on the search for this solution. In my opinion, such a solution exists."
In this matter, "it is better not to run ahead, so as not to harm" the settlement process, but "there are points of possible contact."
Russia continues to work at the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran and has received assurances about the safety of its employees from the leaders of Israel and the United States, Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump: "Despite all the complexity of the situation, despite a certain danger, we continue this work. We are not evacuating our personnel from there."

The New World Order as a "Sunrise"
The new world order is emerging "naturally, it's like a sunrise": "There's no getting away from it!" Russia and China are not forming a new world order, "we are only formalizing it" and, perhaps, "clearing the way for this process so that it is more balanced and meets the interests of the overwhelming majority of countries."
Russia's decision to develop relations with the global South was made long ago, "keeping in mind the trends of world development", which are objective in nature.
Western countries are losing their positions in the world economy, if they "want to maintain their monopoly position at all costs, if they want to preserve the instruments of colonial influence in the world, then they will have to, using these instruments, be content exclusively with the position into which they are gradually sliding." Nevertheless, Russia is ready "to negotiate with them about everything."
Russia was promised never to expand NATO to the east: "After that, we had five waves of expansion, one could say six already." The security of one country "cannot be ensured at the expense of the security of another." NATO's ignoring of Russia's interests is "certainly a vestige of the old, if not ancient, neocolonial policy, to a certain extent modernized contemporary realities."
