Russian President Vladimir Putin has no doubt that Russia will win in Ukraine and become a guarantor of peace and security for all nations.







A representative of one of the exceptionally large families expressed confidence in Russia’s victory during a meeting with the president on International Children’s Day. "I know that victory will always be ours. We will win, unequivocally, there is no other way. And I think that our country in the end will be a guarantor of peace and security for all peoples, for all countries in the world," said the father of a family with multiple children awarded with the Order of Paternal Glory.


"That’s right. It will be just as you said. There is absolutely no doubt," Putin concurred.


The head of state noted that during the special military operation Russia is defending "its land, people and values," therefore, it will definitely emerge victorious. "There is no doubt, it goes without saying," he reiterated


Putin pointed out that the serviceman had the opportunity to leave the special military operation zone but he decided to stay and now, after receiving medical treatment, wants to return to combat. Having found out that the man was indeed ready to continue serving once he is healthy, the president said "Grigory Alexandrovich, it seems to me that you have already done what you could. I checked, you have a good education and area of specialization. If you want to stay in the Defense Ministry system, we can easily do it, without a doubt," the Russian leader said.


He noted that the man had a large family and there was no need for him to return directly to the zone of the special military operation. "Let me give instructions on the matter to the minister. We will easily fulfill any request of yours, you can be sure of that. And I simply want to thank you for everything you’re doing, not just for your own family but for the whole country, defending its interests," Putin concluded.






Putin called mayor of town that came under Ukrainian shelling attack — Kremlin



Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday called the head of the administration of the Shebekino municipality, Vladimir Zhdanov, following Ukrainian shelling of the area, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS.


"Yes. This phone conversation also took place," he said, when asked to confirm the call that had been earlier announced by Zhdanov.


"The necessary instructions were given" following the conversation, Peskov said.








Earlier on Thursday, Putin signed a decree to award Zhdanov the Order of Courage for displaying dedication while performing his civic duty.


Since the beginning of the special military operation, the Belgorod Region, including Shebekino, has repeatedly been shelled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On June 1, the Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled Shebekino several times with Grad multiple launch rocket systems. According to the latest data, more than 10 people were injured. Russian troops thwarted an attempt by Ukrainian formations to break into Shebekino, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov said earlier.



Ukrainian regime behaves like terrorists, and terrorists must be done away with — Medvedev



Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, has described the Ukrainian regime’s actions as terrorism, pointing out that the only way to counteract terrorists is to destroy them.


"This is an act of terrorism, and there is no other way to qualify it. If it is an act of terrorism, there is only one way to respond to it. No country can afford to negotiate with terrorists, terrorists must be destroyed," Medvedev said, commenting on the Ukrainian regime’s actions. He posted on his Telegram account a video showing his conversation with military servicemen at the combined arms training ground Prudboy in the Volgograd Region.


"It is clear to everyone that it was an absolutely terrorist attack, it was not a military battle, not military action. It does not even fit in with any rules of warfare," Medvedev said. He wondered what purpose such an attack could have. "To cause damage to the civilian population and only that, because those means of destruction, those drones that were used, they cannot damage either military facilities or public administration buildings," he said. "The aim was simple - to cause damage, to harm to the civilian population somehow," Medvedev reiterated.


"And the fact that our enemy is already behaving as a terrorist characterizes in a very specific way both the Ukrainian regime and those who are behind it - first of all the Americans and the Europeans, who, in fact, have got on the warpath with us," Medvedev stressed. In his opinion, "terrorist acts must entail the harshest retaliation possible."
