Stating that the United Nations Human Rights Council, the Council of Europe and other human rights organizations “woke up” after the “special military operation” they launched in Ukraine, Putin said: “All this showed that these structures are not they could fulfill their duties in their statutes. Due to their obvious prejudices, Russia had to cancel its membership in these organizations,” he said.

Noting that current approaches to human rights in the world are far from good, requiring thorough analysis as they are used to achieve different goals, Putin said: “We see that the doctrine of human rights, in particular, is it uses to destroy the sovereignty of states and to justify the political, financial, economic and ideological dominance of the West.” He used his statements.

“WE WILL DEFEND OURSELVES WITH EVERY OPPORTUNITY”

Expressing that Western human rights organizations “view Russia as a second-class country that has no right to exist in any way,” Putin said 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 there is nothing left, we will defend ourselves with all the means at our disposal. he said.

Commenting on the possibility of nuclear war, Putin said: “The threat of nuclear war is growing. Russia (nuclear) will not be the first to use it, and if it is not the first, it will not be the second either. Because the possibilities of using nuclear weapons against our lands are very limited. However, our strategy to use defensive means is based on responding to the attack. he said.

Emphasizing that Russia is not crazy and that they know what nuclear weapons are, Putin said that Russian nuclear weapons are more advanced and modern than those of other nuclear-powered countries.

“I SUPPORT ERDOGAN”

Describing the West’s attempts to destroy Russian culture as stupidity, Putin said he agreed with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s comparison of attacks on Russian culture to the actions of Nazi book burnings in the 1930s. .

Noting that there are, of course, wise people in Western countries who understand that attempts to ban Russian culture are pointless, Putin said: “President Erdogan of Turkey drew attention to this. He recalled that the Nazis burned classical works in public squares in the 1930s, and compared these actions by the Nazis with those carried out against Russian culture in some countries today. (AA)
