We have to understand — the number of their soldiers is decreasing.

This year, 2025, is the first time when the number of their army stopped increasing.

So we think 2026 [will] stop the war. Otherwise, Putin will decide to mobilize people.

What we have now is hundreds of companies, really hundreds of companies.

The United States is now interested in this industry, and of course we want to share knowledge with our strategic partners and have cooperation with the American military.

Anti-corruption agencies do what they have to do.

They have all the independence — nobody is stopping them.

They are taking the actions they have to take, and they are not stopping, and it doesn’t matter whether a person is close or not.

I don’t trust Putin, and he doesn’t want success for Ukraine.

He can say such words to Trump, but they are not true.

Deeply concerned by reports of the targeting of the residence of the President of the Russian Federation.

Ongoing diplomatic efforts offer the most viable path toward ending hostilities and achieving peace.

We urge all concerned to remain focused on these efforts and to avoid any actions that could undermine them.

The response of the Islamic Republic of Iran to any oppressive aggression will be harsh and regrettable.

I don't think there should be any evidence here if such a massive drone attack is carried out, which, thanks to the well-coordinated work of the air defense system, was shot down and neutralized.

We see that Zelensky himself is trying to deny this, and many Western media, playing into the hands of the Kiev regime, are starting to spread the idea that this didn't happen.

But these are completely absurd claims.

Almost a day passed and Russia still hasn't provided any plausible evidence to its accusations of Ukraine's alleged "attack on Putin's residence." And they won't. Because there's none.

No such attack happened.

We were disappointed and concerned to see the statements by Emirati, Indian, and Pakistani sides expressing their concerns regarding the attack that never happened.

I emphasize that Iran does not seek permission from anyone to defend itself.

The Iranian people’s response to any widespread adventurism and evil is unapologetic and even unexpected.

Peace in Ukraine could be achieved within weeks, but it remains only a hope — not a certainty.
