“We all, citizens of Russia, will determine our own path”: Putin delivered a message to the Federal Assembly. “We did not start the war in Donbass, but, as I have said more than once, we will do everything to end it, eradicate Nazism, solve all the tasks of the special military operation, protect the sovereignty and safety of our citizens,” the president emphasized.

At the same time, Moscow is ready for dialogue with the United States on issues of strategic stability, Putin said.
