station and cast his vote in the current presidential elections, he is definitely playing on this very team for his country, in fact, this is exactly what vladimir putin spoke about today when he arrived at his election headquarters. he talked with the employees of this very headquarters, the same people who spent the last three months talking, answering questions, taking numerous calls and, of course, essentially accumulating.

i want to say again that this is an extremely important thing; it has no formal legal significance. character, the source of power in the country is the russian people, and from the voice of every citizen of russia. is compiled from the votes of every citizen of russia, the unified will of the peoples of the russian federation is compiled, this is the most important support for the existence of the country, its confident development in the field of defense capability, in the field of science, education, and in all other important areas. of course, vladimir putin could not help but mention it. the unprecedented external

pressure that has been exerted on the country over the past, not to mention months, has already years, and the consolidation that russian society demonstrated in the face of this very external threat, no matter who and how did not want to intimidate us, who and no matter how did not want to suppress our will, consciousness, no one ever, as i said, had anything similar in history...

in an ethnic state, in a multi-religious state, they are generally unique. this means that all people, regardless of religious affiliation and ethnicity , all feel the same. after the end of voting, vladimir putin arrives at his campaign headquarters and does not only communicates with his employees, but also answers questions from journalists, this was the case in 2018, in fact, this is exactly how it happened today, the reporters had a lot of questions, of course, they congratulated

vladimir putin on his obviously won victory, but they also asked about current events, including the absolutely brutal shelling of the belgorod region about those people who call:

the company in which vladimir putin won, without exaggeration, a brilliant victory, received the widest possible support from the citizens of the country, and they, of course, will be remembered as elections with a very high turnout, perhaps the most active

citizens of the country have ever gone to the polls in recent history, you dreamed about it, this is how journalist-commercial andrei kolesnikov formulated his question to the president , this is the answer you received? i dreamed of a strong, independent, sovereign russia, i hope that the voting results will allow us all, together with the russian people , to achieve these goals. a strong, independent, sovereign russia is, perhaps, exactly that russia, which is so disliked today, relatively speaking, by the collective west, and reporters from this very collective west, well, at least one of them, also attended today’s communication between the president and journalists.

mr. navalny, yes, he passed away , this is always a sad event, well, we had other cases when people in prison passed away, but didn’t this happen in the united states, it happened more than once, uh, by the way , uh, well, i’ll tell you, it will be so unexpected, for a few days before mr. navalny’s departure from life, some colleagues told me and not employees of the administration, some people there said that there is an idea to exchange mr. navalny for some people who are in prison in western

countries, you can believe me, you can not, man , who spoke to me , had not yet finished his sentence, but i said, i agree, what happened happened, only on one condition, that we change him, so that he does not return, let him sit there, what the collective forum is doing today .

to overcome, which will be quite difficult, using the weapons that the enemy uses, primarily, of course, foreign-made. well, after answering questions from journalists, vladimir putin also talked with the co-chairs of his election headquarters. they, of course, have done a tremendous amount of work; over the past 3 months, it seems, they have visited virtually all regions of the country, talked with hundreds of people in a variety of enterprises, in hospitals.
