Putin’s dream, Russian unity & conflict with NATO: Key takeaways from victory speech

The incumbent head of state has thanked the people of Russia for their trust and support

President Vladimir Putin has addressed the Russian citizens following a historic election victory with over 87% of the vote in his favor, amid a record-high turnout. Here are the key takeaways from his speech and a question-and-answer session at campaign headquarters in Moscow on Sunday night.

Border incursions, traitors & ‘sanitary zone’ in Ukraine

Russia has repelled multiple attempts by Ukrainian sabotage groups to break into its territory over the past week, with Putin saying that “the enemy has deployed a group of about five thousand people, and their losses are about 40 percent.”
“And those who crawled into our territory were destroyed almost 100%… If the enemy likes a ‘meat grinder’ – we even benefit from it.”

Kiev claimed that the operation was staged by the paramilitary units, which portray themselves as collaborator forces composed of Russian defectors and fugitive neo-Nazis. Putin likened the saboteurs to the Vlasov army collaborators who fought under German command during WWII.
“Those traitors, that scгm fought on the side of Nazis, and now there are similar people who fight on the side of neo-nazis,” the President stressed, further reminding of their fate. “We all know how they ended up.”
In order to protect its people from cross-border Ukrainian strikes, Russia could at some point be “forced” to set up a buffer zone in Kiev-controlled territories. The Russian forces would establish a “security zone that would be quite difficult for the adversary to overcome with its weapons, primarily of foreign origin,” if and “when we consider it appropriate,” Putin added.
