European leaders are “pigs”. Putin prepares “another year” of war

Vladimir Putin called European leaders “pigs”, accusing Europe of supporting Ukraine to benefit from a possible collapse of Russia. The president of Ukraine leaves a warning about Putin: another year of war is coming.

The Russian President, Vladimir Putinstated this Wednesday that the European “pigs” who support Ukraine will lose power, and promised continue to wage wardespite Donald Trump’s peace efforts.

According to , in a speech during an annual meeting with the Ministry of Defense, Putin held the former US president responsible, Joe Bidenfor having “consciously” started the war in Ukraine and added that the European “pigs” supported immediately the Americans.

Europe, according to Putin, intended “recover something you lost in previous historical periods and take revenge on Russia”, adding that these plans “completely failed”.

Putin showed no signs of being willing to compromise regarding its objectives for the invasion of Ukraine, which sought to end the neighboring country’s status as an independent state, and stated that its armed forces would “liberate its historic lands by military means”, says .

The Russian leader promised the military conquest of what he considered the “historical Russian territories” in Ukraine, in an allusion to the four Ukrainian regions annexed by Moscow, if diplomacy fails.

“If the adversary and its foreign sponsors refuse to talk about it, the Russia will achieve the liberation of its historical territories through military means”, he stated, quoted by the Spanish news agency EFE.

Since invading Ukraine in February 2022, Moscow has declared the Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhia and Khersonafter having done the same to Crimea in 2014.

Putin stressed that he preferred to recover the territories “and eliminate the original causes of the conflict with the help of diplomacy”, when speaking before the defense summit in Moscow.

He also reaffirmed that the objectives of the “special military operation”, the official Russian designation for the conflict, remain in place, at a time when negotiations are taking place on a North American plan to try to end the war.

The statement leaves little margin so that Russia will accept Kiev’s demands, such as not ceding territory.

Moscow will catch up“without any doubt, all the objectives” of the operationassured the supreme commander of the Russian armed forces, also cited by the news agency France-Presse (AFP).

Despite this, Putin claimed to be prepared to negotiate with Trump a diplomatic outcome to the war, but only if it meets your requirements central to resolving the “root causes of conflict”.

“Russia demonstrated its stability in the economyin finances, in the internal political situation of society… and in the field of defense capability”, said the Russian president.

Putin added that Russia is ready to talk to Europe, but that this will not be possible with the current set of European politiciansand praised its Armed Forces, saying that “no one in the world” has such a good army like that of Russia and that it is now “experienced in war”.

“The year that is now ending was an important stage in the fulfillment of the missions of the special military operation. The Russian army maintains the strategic initiative across the entire front line, despite Kiev counting on “the potential of member countries of the largest political-military bloc in the world, NATO”, he stated.

The Russian leader claimed that the Russian troops “are crushing” elite Ukrainian units “trained in Western instruction centers” and equipped with modern foreign weaponry.

One more year

After these statements, Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Russia is preparing to wage another year of war: “Today, we heard another signal from Moscow saying that they are preparing to make next year another year of war.”

In his daily address to the nation, the president of Ukraine warned European allies that “it is important that they see this” and above all that they react, addressing in particular the United States, “which often says that Russia supposedly wants to end the war”.

Zelenskyy accused Moscow of using diplomacy to “cover up your desire to destroy Ukraine and the Ukrainians” and “for legitimize theft” of the territories of your country and beyond.

The Ukrainian President suggested that, based on the same argument as Putin, Moscow may attack the territories of other countries Europeans who “one day claim it as their so-called historic lands”.

A Russian invasion of Ukrainereleased on February 24, 2022, plunged Europe into what is considered the most serious security crisis since World War II.

Currently, the Russia controls about 19% of the internationally recognized territory of Ukraine, including much of the Donetsk, Zaporijia and Kherson regions, as well as parts of the Kharkiv, Sumi and Dnipropetrovsk regions.

In mid-June, the possession of the entire neighboring country. “I have said it many times, I consider the Russian and Ukrainian people to be the same people. In that sense, all of Ukraine is ours“, he defended, citing “an old rule” to the debate moderator: “Where a Russian soldier’s boot steps is ours”.

Russian forces expected to conquer Kiev in two days when they invaded the neighboring country. More than three years after the start of the “special operation”, the war caused tens of thousands of civilian and military deaths on both sides.
