Last minute: Russian President Vladimir Putin, in his speech at the Civil Society and Human Rights Development Council Meeting, stated that the human rights of the people living in Donbas have been violated for 8 years, and international organizations have ignored this.
Stating that the United Nations Human Rights Council, the Council of Europe and other human rights organizations “wake up” after the “special military operation” they launched in Ukraine, Putin said, “All these showed that these structures could not fulfill their duties in their statutes. Because of its obvious prejudices, Russia had to terminate its membership in these organizations.” said.
Noting that the current approaches to human rights in the world are far from good, they require a comprehensive analysis as they are used to achieve different goals, Putin said, “We see that the doctrine of human rights, in particular, is used to destroy the sovereignty of states and to justify the political, financial, economic and ideological dominance of the West. ” used the phrases.
Expressing that Western human rights organizations “see Russia as a second-class country that has no right to exist in any way,” Putin said that they will fight for their national interests in various ways and means.
“First of all, of course, we will focus on peaceful means. But if nothing remains, we will defend ourselves with all the means at our disposal.” he said.
In addition, Putin emphasized that it is pointless to talk about additional mobilization measures, noting that today the state and the defense ministry do not need such a thing.
‘OPERATION IN UKRAINE WILL CONTINUE TO LONG’
Providing information about the “special military operation” of the Russian army in Ukraine, Putin said, “The process of the special military operation can of course be long. The emergence of new lands is an important consequence and a serious issue for Russia.” said.
Commenting on the possibility of nuclear war, Putin said, “The threat of nuclear war is growing. Russia (nuclear) will not use it first, nor will it be the second. If it does not use it first, it will not be the second. Because the possibilities of using nuclear weapons on our soil are very limited. Despite this, our strategy regarding the use of defensive means is to attack the attack. It is built around counter-response.” he said.
Stressing that Russia is not crazy and they know what nuclear weapons are, Putin said that Russian nuclear weapons are more advanced and modern than those in other nuclear-powered countries.
‘WE WILL NOT SHAKE THE NUCLEAR WEAPON LIKE A razor’
Stating that they will not go around the world with nuclear weapons “shaking like a razor blade”, Putin said that these weapons are a deterrent and he hopes everyone understands this.
Putin said that they did not talk about the possibility of using nuclear weapons, as former British Prime Minister Liz Truss did, but only took some measures in response to it.
