“Western impudence” and “peaceable initiatives”… Putin’s most distinguished statements in Hanoi

Strategic partnership settlement with the Democratic Republic of Korea

• Russia concluded a strategic partnership settlement with North Korea to interchange the earlier settlement between Moscow and Pongyang of 1962.
• Putin: “There’s nothing new within the settlement,” regardless of the factors which will appear sharp within the present circumstances. North Korea has signed comparable agreements with different international locations.
• Moscow is relying on its agreements with Pyongyang to be “a deterrent to some extent” and to stop the Korean disaster from escalating to “some sizzling stage.”
• For the reason that international locations that offer the Kiev regime with weapons don’t bear accountability for the character of their use sooner or later, Moscow reserves the correct to produce weapons to different areas of the world, “and taking into consideration the agreements with the DPRK, that is additionally not excluded.”
• The US intelligence felt shock following concluding the settlement, and what the Wall Road Journal wrote raises astonishment. “We’re talking brazenly, and there’s no want for digital intelligence or planting components to grasp the place issues are headed.”

Russian army operation in Ukraine

• Russia didn’t ask for assist from the DPRK and nobody provided us assist. The provisions of the Mutual Protection Treaty with the DPRK discuss with army aggression, however “the Ukrainian regime not solely initiated aggression in opposition to Russia, but additionally attacked the Donetsk and Luhansk Individuals’s Republics that Russia acknowledged earlier than they joined it.”
• Kiev’s makes an attempt to strain Russian forces out of Kharkov province will value Ukrainian forces “a heavy value.” The West is pushing Ukraine at any value to return Russian forces to the border, later presenting this as “an ideal success / achieved by the West and Kiev / in 2024.” On the identical time, Russia doesn’t have any aim to strategy Kharkov, however Russian forces are ready for all situations based mostly on the event of the state of affairs on the bottom.

Peace settlement initiative

• Russia’s situations for resolving the Ukraine battle will change based mostly on variables on the bottom. Russia is prepared for any negotiations on Ukraine, even tomorrow, no matter the place they’re held, as a result of Moscow’s proposals are “on the desk earlier than them.” But when Kiev hyperlinks the negotiations to the withdrawal of Russian forces, this “won’t ever occur.”
• The West’s response to Russia’s peace initiatives was predictable: “Some affordable politicians will take into consideration whether or not our proposals are practical, goal and in step with the pursuits of all events.”

Energy in Kyiv

• The Kiev regime doesn’t wish to go away energy and due to this fact doesn’t search to carry elections in accordance with the Ukrainian Structure. “They are going to delay the ceasefire ceaselessly, and they’re concerned with our forces remaining within the lands from which they’re demanding that we withdraw, as a result of they’re what prevents the holding of elections” and their demise.

NATO in Asia

• NATO is transferring in Asia as if it had been its everlasting place of residence, and it is a safety risk that requires a response from Russia.

South Korea’s considerations

• Joint protection between Russia and the DPRK will solely happen if one of many events to the settlement is uncovered to aggression. South Korea doesn’t need aggression in opposition to the DPRK, which implies that “there isn’t any have to concern our cooperation on this space.”

Doable change in nuclear doctrine

• The Russian strategic nuclear forces are all the time on excessive alert, and due to this fact “what is occurring in Western international locations doesn’t trigger us a lot concern,” and if any threats come up, “we are going to reply appropriately and adequately.”
• Russia thought of modifying its nuclear doctrine on account of enemy actions to “decrease the brink” for not utilizing nuclear weapons.
• Russia doesn’t have to launch a pre-emptive strike in opposition to the supposed enemy as a result of if it assaults it, it will likely be fully destroyed.

Western pressures

• The worldwide sanctions regime in opposition to the DPRK is inhumane and is comparable in cruelty to the Russian blockade of Leningrad throughout World Battle II. The sanctions imposed “should correspond to the present stage of human improvement” and it’s obligatory to consider altering the sanctions regime, and whether or not it “meets at this time’s necessities basically.”
• “The impudence with which the American authorities exert strain” isn’t of their curiosity, and from a strategic standpoint it’s in opposition to their pursuits, as a result of nobody likes this vanity. Plainly the West will enhance the diploma of escalation within the hope of scaring Russia into submission, however this may imply the top of the Russian state with its thousand-year historical past. The query that arises on this case: Why ought to we do that? Would not it’s higher to go in the direction of the top?
• Russia has realized find out how to overcome sanctions: “In precept, we’re attaining success… Sure, there are difficulties, however we’re discovering methods to beat these difficulties.”

United nations

• “The state of affairs on the planet is altering, which requires reform of the United Nations.” It can be crucial that reform be “based mostly on broad worldwide consensus,” and never on a behind-the-scenes choice adopted by a gaggle of nations.” In any other case, the Safety Council will merely lose its function as a “battle decision device.”

Cooperation with Vietnam

• Russia can produce liquefied pure gasoline in Vietnam and provide it to it from Russia: “It’s doable, and there are prospects for such cooperation, and there are additionally appropriate areas by which it’s doable to work and produce liquefied gasoline.”
