A day after Chancellor Karl Nehammer’s visit to Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin reaffirmed his confidence in the victory. The goals of the “special operation” in Ukraine would be achieved, Putin said on Tuesday during a tour of the Russian spaceport “Vostochny” in the far east of the country. “There’s no doubt about that.” He again defended his decision to invade Ukraine because he had no alternative.
The operation is to ensure Russian security: “We had no other choice,” Putin said. The conflict with the “anti-Russian forces in Ukraine” was only a matter of time. International experts have accused Putin in the past of protecting the Russian people in Ukraine as just a pretext for war.
Subtle hint at Russian potential in space
Putin also stressed that Russia does not want to isolate itself from the rest of the world. According to Putin, the sanctions with which the West responded to the Russian invasion cannot isolate Russia. Moscow will continue to expand its technical and technological potential, especially in space, he said.
Media inquiries allowed for the first time since the start of the war
Putin flew with Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko to visit the spaceport. He also wants to answer questions from media representatives for the first time since the start of the war, according to the Kremlin.
