– Harbouring revanchist sentiments, making a mockery of history, and seeking to justify present-day Nazi followers is part of what constitutes a common policy of Western elites to fuel regional conflicts.

– We reject exceptionalist claims of any country or alliance, knowing what this unchecked ambition may lead to.

– Russia will do utmost to avoid a global confrontation but it will not allow itself to be threatened. Our strategic forces are always in combat readiness.

– Russia will forever remember, and it will never forget the joint struggle and the inspiring traditions of alliance. against Nazism.

– Participants in the special operation are our heroes, and all of Russia stands with you.

– Russia is now going through a difficult, watershed moment of its history. The fate of our Motherland and its future depend on each one of us.
