Putin: Those who defend the motherland are the elite, and the future of the country can be entrusted to these people.
Early on April 22, Russian President Putin compared the veterans participating in the special military operation with Russia's traditional elites during a meeting:
"What kind of elite are they?! They are just thieves of national property, and then start pointing fingers! What is elite? Those who defend the motherland are the elite. They are the people, the elite, and the future, and the future of the country is behind them; we can entrust the country to these people."
Putin also referred to the veterans participating in the special military operation as the "golden fund" of the Russian Federation.
He believed that the streets and schools of Russia should be named after the heroes of the special operation to educate the new generation.
Putin insisted that the Ukrainian authorities had seized state power and stolen the wealth of the people.
"The Kiev regime continues to steal money from the Ukrainian people and has deposited billions of dollars abroad."
The weapons provided by the West to Ukraine continue to flow into the "black market."
Putin emphasized that he was pleased to see experienced talents appearing at all levels of government, especially in the new regions of the Russian Federation.
"Victory will belong to Russia, and there is no doubt about it."
