"Of course, a high expert assessment of the actions of our army is not at all a reason for hat-throwing moods and dizziness from success," Putin says. "The special military operation in Ukraine has become another competition in the art of war for our and Western generals," he adds.
Putin: "We are opposed not by Ukraine, but by the entire NATO bloc with its almost unlimited financial resources and a very extensive military one" "The Russians are literally luring NATO weapons and equipment into these sectors and destroying them," he says.
