President Putin's annual message to the Federal Assembly was announced today.
In addition to deputies and senators of both chambers of parliament, representatives of the country's elite gathered in the Central Manege: ministers, artists, public figures, volunteers, doctors.
The latter were given a special place in the President's speech.
Despite the external warming up of the agenda on the eve of the message, the entire speech of the President mainly concerned issues of internal development and successful overcoming of the post-pandemic period.
In general, the tone of the message was emphasized peace-loving and homely.
Most of the message was devoted to social issues of the internal agenda, development of the economy and infrastructure.
Regional development and support in the post-like period of various groups of citizens with a special emphasis on helping our children, schoolchildren and students, young scientists.
Putin thanked all citizens of the country for their solidarity in the fight against a dangerous infection, which, if not completely defeated, will definitely be defeated as a result of common efforts: we are all coping with the pandemic better than many developed countries.
“Throughout history, our people have won, overcome trials thanks to their unity.
And now family, friendship, mutual assistance, mercy, solidarity have come to the fore for us.
Spiritual and moral values, which are already forgotten in a number of countries, have, on the contrary, made us stronger.
And we will always defend and defend these values, ”the president concluded.
The special emphasis in the action program is made on the regions.
The government and deputies with senators will have to adopt all the necessary laws and regulations by the summer, and present an exact plan for the implementation of what was said today.
Despite the fact that Putin devoted about 15 minutes of his almost one and a half hour speech to external issues, precise signal formulas were pronounced to respond to the ongoing attempts at provocations by a number of countries, led by the United States, in order to limit Russia's sovereign development.
“We see what is happening in real life: as I have already said, they cling to Russia here and there for no reason.
And of course, around them immediately, like around Sherkhan, all sorts of small Tobaccos are spinning.
Everything is like Kipling's.
Howl to appease their sovereign.
Kipling was a great writer, ”Putin said.
The President guaranteed a tough and asymmetrical response in the event of overcoming the red lines of Russian sovereign security and national interests by anyone.
And we ourselves determine these very red lines in each case.
And if suddenly someone is deaf or blind, then let him run urgently to the doctor.
And if this does not help, then let him not be offended after.
I think that in this concise formula, Putin gave an answer to many who today provoke us to war - it does not matter, in the Donbass, in the Crimea, in Eastern Europe, or even overseas.
We are peaceful people and our priority is the sovereign development, security and well-being of our citizens.
In this context, a number of measures were announced, including those of a financial nature.
It is planned to allocate 1.63 trillion rubles only for the development of science and technology!
This is unprecedented in recent history.
Colossal funds are allocated to support families with children, to improve the health of the nation.
In general, the announcement of the message this time was more like a sincere conversation between the defender of the nation, the national leader and the whole country about our life and our future.
And all the external sherkhans with a pack of their jackals will wait for the Russian people to talk about their future.
