History has shown that being strong is the best security guarantee against foreign aggressors, the Russian president has said
Being weak is no option for Russia, as its history has demonstrated, President Vladimir Putin stated during his remarks at the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi on Thursday.
The Russian president vowed that Moscow “will never display weakness and indecision,” warning that those “who are harboring dreams of inflicting this very strategic defeat on us” should especially take heed of his message.
“Our history has proven: weakness is unacceptable as it creates temptation, illusion that some disagreement with us can be resolved through force.”
Putin also cautioned potential adversaries against “provoking” Russia, adding that “it has always ended badly for the instigator,” without exception.
