⚡ 🇷🇺 PUTIN:

"If we don't protect our people and our country they would pat us on the head and give us rotten potatoes for humanitarian aid."

"If we don't protect our people... what would ultimately await our country? It will become a feeble, dependent country, lacking self-sufficiency, unwanted by others... they would pat us on the head and give us rotten potatoes for humanitarian aid."
