😚 Putin Rules Out Russian Weakness if Someone Decides to ‘Contend’ with It

The President called for not provoking Russia into retaliatory actions, as in such a case, one should not expect weakness or indecisiveness from its side. At the same time, he assured that the country does not intend to attack Europe or NATO.

"Russia will never show weakness; if someone tries to 'contend' with it, they will face a rebuff," President Vladimir Putin stated.

According to the head of the Russian Federation, there have been no cases where such attempts "did not end badly for the provocateur themselves," and there will be no exceptions.

"Our history has proven: weakness is unacceptable because it creates a temptation, an illusion that any issue with us can be resolved by force. Russia will never show weakness or indecisiveness," he said.

Putin reminded that Russia itself "did not initiate military confrontations." Currently, he said, there is a militarization of Europe, and he emphasized that Moscow's response to this will be "very convincing."

☺️ Detention of a Tanker by France - Piracy

The Russian President explained why Paris detained the vessel in its waters:

"The tanker was seized in neutral waters. They found nothing, there was nothing, and there can't be. The tanker is under the flag of a third country, with an international crew. I don't know how this is connected to Russia. So what is this really about? Is it really that important for France?

It is important. Due to the difficult situation for the ruling elite. To distract the citizens of the French Republic. To shift focus to an external issue, to provoke active actions. And to say: 'French people! Rally around me! I will lead you to victory!' Like Napoleon."

📔 "They forgot the Russian bayonet and the snow that buried their fame in the desert": Putin recited Pushkin's "The Borodino Anniversary" at the Valdai Forum.

The President noted that the poem is as relevant as if it were written yesterday. He stated that in his free time before bed, he enjoys reading the works of Alexander Pushkin. It allows Putin to "immerse himself" in the atmosphere, to feel how people lived, what inspired them, and what they thought back then.

☺️ IAEA Director General stated that the disconnection of external power to the Zaporizhzhia NPP poses a risk to global nuclear safety.

Rafael Grossi called on Russia and Ukraine to "do everything necessary to prevent the situation from deteriorating." "This is a matter of political will, not technical capabilities, which are present," he stated.

The IAEA Director General reported that the ZNPP is currently operating on backup generators. He described the situation as "unprecedented" and emphasized the importance of resolving it quickly. "Both sides state that they are ready to carry out the necessary repairs on both sides of the front line," he stressed. "But for this, the security situation on the ground needs to be improved so that specialists can carry out their vital work without risking their lives."

🥼 Since September 23, the ZNPP has been disconnected from the external power grid. The plant is not generating electricity, and its reactors are being cooled by emergency diesel generators. As reported by the ZNPP Director Yuri Chernichuk, the plant's staff are already working on a contingency plan in case the situation persists.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at a meeting of the Valdai Club, stated that Ukrainian militants are attempting to attack the areas around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. He warned that nothing is preventing Russia from responding in kind.
