【The Chairman of the Russian Upper House: Putin Feels the Upper House Is a Reliable Shoulder in Ensuring Decisions】
Moscow time December 24, 2025, Valentina Matviyenko, Chairman of the Federation Council of Russia, said at a plenary session:
I believe that over the years, dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, you have felt that the upper house has been a reliable shoulder in ensuring all presidential decisions, including key ones. These decisions fall within the direct jurisdiction of the Federation Council, including the return of Crimea and Sevastopol, the reunification of the historically Russian territories of Donbas and Novorossiya, legislative support to achieve the goals of the special military operation, and overcoming the unprecedented pressure of Western sanctions.
